another compliment?

last night elias wanted me to put him to bed instead of david because I'M soft. uuuuh, ya mean fat? not feelin' any bones or even muscle there buddy while I'M holding you? oh well, it made me feel good coming from a 2 year old. IF my hubby wants to mention that i'm soft....well that would be a completely different issue!

feelin fine

sickness is GONE and i am at the beach. my kids smell like the ocean, the pool and sunscreen. my favorite smells in the world. lovely. do i have to leave?

bla

we leave for vacation in a few days and i'm sick. my laundry isn't done, i'm not packed and i'm definitely not ready for a 15 hr car ride. the bad thing is, is that with there being 7 of us in this house, someone else is probably next. that could mean sick in the car. or sick on the beach. or sick in the pool. sick somewhere else but home. hopefully noone else will get it. or it won't last very long.
damn that sick bug.

i said i was going to bed early

but here i sit in the dark at the computer. i was thinking of a new name for my blog. "i'm a christian and i cuss." i used to cuss alot. more than i do lately. my 13 year old was picking up on it. as was the 2 year old....."goshdammit". i know, i know. i actually said that one a few times. at least he didn't pick up "F***". SEE??? in my heart of hearts i want to TYPE the word, but alas i am afraid. don't want anyone to think the worst of me. when what i REALLY want to SAY is "F***". one of my favorite christian musicians cussed. we toured with her for 3 1/2 mths. once. she cussed ALOT. she also sang fabulous songs that touched the heart of God and came back to ours. she also cussed ALOT. it didn't seem to bother her much. my friend rich cussed ALOT as well. especially when it was called for. he threw in some righteous anger as well. he loved God. God loved him. he seemed to enjoy cussing. ALOT. i have a friend who cusses and i love hangin with her because i can cuss to my hearts content. she still loves me. i think i'm mostly trying to convince myself. i have a bumper sticker that says "my friends kick ass". i have a friend who wants me to cover it up when she's around because she doesn't want her kids to be offended or shocked that i would have that on my car. i said maybe i should have "God kicks ass" on my van. that might fit in better at my homeschool co-op. i'm going to continue to cuss. maybe not so much around my kids. (i don't want people to think i'm a bad mom). but i will. it feels good for some unknown reason. it's extremely theraputic to let some words fly. i workout at curves and my friend there who i see early morning loves to cuss. we really like it when no-one else is there. exercise your body. exercise your freedom of speech. all that being said, i doubt i'll change my blog name. you can just figure out for yourself what the thousand words at my house are.....

two very important lessons

1. ALWAYS make sure there is toilet paper in the bathroom before you sit.

2. ALWAYS make sure there is a towel hanging in the bathroom before you get in the shower.
