The Reason I DON'T Diet:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Contemplating

I am contemplating homeschooling my girls. I keep thinking about the influences they are exposed to for 7 hours everyday. I have always thought that I am not educated enough to be their teacher. However, I keep being reminded that their souls are more important.
My daughter was the was the "perfect" baby/toddler. She was so compliant as a preschooler. But when she started school, she became someone I didn't recognize. I don't like the attitude she has. I am not blaming it on "school" or "other kids", I just realize that she is away from home longer and exposed to the world more than she is at home. I think it is time to do something before it is too late. Preventitive measures. I want to keep my children. I love them more than anything.
With the right attitude, planning and God's help, I CAN do this! I know there are a lot of resources and support available. Now I just have to do some "homework".

ROTFL!

I just had to share this with all my "loyal readers"! It is just too good not to share.

It's hard to believe that she's not joking or that anyone actually takes her seriously!

I was also wondering, why doesn't she address her "breathing" technique? Does it help or is she just crazy?

"Low oh, stick out your tongue, look up..." ;op<

I hope you all burn lots of calories from laughing! I did!

It couldn't be more true

I think this is the most acurate quiz I've taken.

What Kind of Cake Are You?

You are an ice cream cake:

You Are an Ice Cream Cake

Surprising, unique, and high maintenance. You're one of a kind, and you don't want anyone to forget it. You're fun in small doses, but it's easy for people to overdose on you!

You're Not Going to Like This, But...

I have a small pet peeve. I know I'm not the only one. It probably annoys most blalkers (pronounced blockers) [blog stalkers]. It is this: bloggers with the music players on their page. Nothing like having some sappy song (i.e. "Butterfly Kisses" or "I Want To Be Just Like You") blaring through the speakers as I navigate through my regular reads. I know some of you readers will be a little upset when you read this, but I feel it is worth letting you know that it's annoying. I know you put them on your blog because they're your favorite songs, but, unless you are on your blog ALOT, you are not the one who has to hear those songs. Save 'em for iTunes!

Thanks, I feel better. Ha, ha!

I need a makeover!

As I was blog stalking, I came across some stupid celebrity look-a-like thingy. I decided to try it. Now I am bummed. The results were so bad that I refused to post them. I tried it 3 times with different pics and each time one of the celebrities it said I look like is James Spader. Eww. Not that he is so ugly [which he is], but he's a GUY! Hello! Not feeling too pretty right about now.

I'm gonna go to bed. I NEED my beauty sleep. I'm pretty sure I could use a lot of it. Maybe when I wake up I'll look like this...

One can only dream.

g'nite!

I know it's been a long time since my last post. A lot has happened, but not much has been blogworthy.

Right after my last post, my church started our annual fireworks sales fundraiser. That lasted a week. It is hot and sort of boring to sit there all day, but (for some strange reason) I love it! I actually look forward to firework sales. Ironically, I would never spend the money to buy fireworks, but I get so excited when I sell them. Especially when someone buys several hundred dollars worth! To each his own. I am just glad we get 50% to put in our building fund!

Then, my kids & I went to my parents' house for a few days. We enjoyed spending time with my family. My nieces & nephews (from out of state) were there. It was fun to reminece with them. I also love going to my parents for the food. Sometimes I really miss my mom's food. It is always a treat to go "home". My mom spoils just about everyone, especially if she knows what their favorite is. One of my nieces like her white cake with chocolate frosting, so she made it twice within a weeks' time! Yummy!

Next, we went to our friends' house in the Bay Area. I picked up my hubby from the train station and we enjoyed the family party in their beautiful backyard the next day. They had most of their family there and everyone brought food. Wow! There was a variety of great foods and I tried everything - nothing was gross. That says a lot coming from me! There were a tone of young kids and I ended up playing "Duck, Duck, Goose" with them! I had a blast! The next day we went to church with them and enjoyed fellowship. I wish we could have stayed longer. There is never enough time.

The next weekend I met my FIL in Stockton and he took my two older girls to Paradice for the week. Hayley & I visited with my mom and my niece for a couple of hours and then on my way home, I decided to stop and see my 2 nieces. We ate with them and visited for a while and went on our way. The next weekend we (Tom, me & Hayley) went to pick up the girls in Stockton and we, again, stopped to see my nieces on the way home. We invited them to go camping with us.

Last Wednesday, I went to pick up my nieces and on Friday we went camping with our church. Even though it was really dirty, we had a lot of fun. We came home on Sunday and played Monopoly. (Yuck!) Then on Tuesday, me and all the girls went to Hanford to shop. We had fun even though we didn't stay long. It was way too hot! That evening some of the young ladies from church came over to play games and hang out. We had a good time. Then I took my nieces home on Wednesday. I already miss them. I didn't want them to go home. We really enjoyed them being here, even Tom.

Tons of stuff happened in between, such as dental appointments (no cavities, for the girls!) and such, but nothing worth going into detail about.

So there is my long overdue post. I will try to be a little more faithful to the blogworld from now on.
