Sleep?

Why in the heck do I have such a hard time simply going to bed? I didn't sleep well at all last night. Bay woke up all through the night screaming for daddy!! He is on a trip! :( I was ready for bed around 7:30!! Why didn't I just go to bed? I just had to watch House I had DVR-ed from Monday. Yeah I used my recordificator!! I LOVE those Dish commercials. Anyway, then I had to make some bows for the girls! Well I wanted to look online for new ideas. I did make a pair of bows! AND found cute ideas but I am frustrated about being cold and sleepy! So then I had had to vent to you! It would have taken to long to call fam and friends so I thought I would hit you all at once with a one time story!
I forgot how lonely it is when Michael is gone! He had been home for almost 2 months! We all miss him so much! I think Suki even misses him!! He left on Tuesday and comes home tomorrow. Not a long trip, but it still sucks! My point to this was that Michael was not home to vent to!!
Ok well, do you think I have ADD?? Am I normal? LOL!! Don't answer mom! I get one idea in my head and then it snowballs to this! I know, maybe it is the lack of sleep causing this?!?!?!
Done venting. . . goodnight!

This is what happens when. . .

when a 7 year old gets her own bedroom!

mommy takes a shower!

These are Bay's clothes. All of them, piled on her bed.

Here is her empty dresser!

Here is our bookshelf. A lot can happen in about 10 minutes!

Being a DORK!

When I went back and read my post, I was thinking that sometimes maybe I should just NOT! I must say I thought for a second about what Sandra thought about me! I love to laugh and smile! In the past, I have focused on the negative. It is NOT fun! I love being a dork! It is fun. I am happy with that part of me!

The world is so serious why not laugh a little? I could have just told Sandra that I like salad. But then I wouldn't have been able to make myself laugh! I was hoping to make her laugh too, or at least smile! Plus, my focus is on the positive of that event, not that I waited in line for about 10 min or that the lady in front of me had a basket full of stuff in the 20 items or less line! I even had to stop and think a minute to remember what wasn't as pleasant as it could have been!

Funnies!

I have not posted in so long!!!! I really wanted to say something with out being here for an hour or more!! So a couple of days ago I was at Wal-Mart. I was getting a "bunch" of salad. There was a deal on Fresh Express bags for $.97!!! Great deal. The cashier, Sandra, was pretty grumpy! She really did not want to be there! I tried to chat with her while waiting in line, but with not much success! When I showed her the ad to price match, it kind of made her a little more grumpy! Plus she kept screwing up having to delete then re-ring the bags! Sandra said, "what are you going to do with all of this salad anyway?" I quickly replied that my husband and I have turned over a new leaf! She looked up at me like I was the biggest dork in the whole world! I have to say that I thought it was pretty funny! I even giggled a little out loud.
Did I make you giggle?? Just a little??

Question!

OK, so I am wondering how you would act if people approached you in the same fashion in public with not so nice comments about your hubby's height? Please give me some advice! I would love some new funny lines to say!
I, sometimes just smile, say 6'11" and walk away. I know this may be the more Christlike response, but I have several opportunities each outing to practice. I love to say something funny back to them, but they don't think it is so funny when a question is asked of them! When people comment about his feet, size 16, I don't ask how big their booty is! Sometimes I ask how short they are. When one kid, around 16ish, wanted to take a pic of Michael with his cell, I told him to go check out the Mavs website! The funny part is that he really believed me!
My favorite questions are from cute girls asking him where he gets his clothes because their "boyfriends" are just about the same size and they can't find clothes for them! I just smile my prettiest smile!
It is funny because our girls are noticing and asking why people ask daddy how tall he is ALL OF THE TIME!
For those of you whom have ever asked us how tall he is, don't be worried or nervous! We don't mind as much if you are nice about it! The ones that annoy us the most are those who follow us around the store for 30 min trying to get courage to ask! Or those that come up and interrupt, especially if we are with a sales person or eating!
Swearing, pointing, laughing hysterically, screaming across the store, or not respecting personal space are not ways to behave!

Christmas Spirit...Circus Act...Wanna Fight!!!!???

Interesting Title? What you do think it means? Angela told me that I could vent. I shouldn't be so confused about it, I should be used to it, but this experience entered uncharted waters for me. Never before has it happened like this.....do I got you hooked??? Well....as we look into the life and times of the "Circus Freak" known as Michael, we see an odd occurence......ANYWAY!!!

While shopping on Saturday morning for Angela's last present (I will with-hold where it was in fear of Angela guessing what I got her)I was minding my own business. While looking at some "product" on the shelf, it felt as if someone was standing back to back with me???? For me though, it felt like someone was rubbing up on my BOO-TAY...this due to my rear end being to some peoples shoulder level. After a brief moment of utter confusion, I turned around to see a "SHORT" person trying to stand back to back with me, WITHOUT ASKING, while motioning and "pssssstting" to her husband to look. AS IF I COULDN'T FEEL YOU ALL OVER ME LADY!!!! I must have had the "I smell Poo Poo" look on my face as I said, "Excuse me Mam", because right after I said this, her husband stepped up to me and asked very aggressivley if I had a problem. WHAT HAPPENED TO PERSONAL SPACE????? DUDE!! Due to my confused state of mind, I just stared at the dude. He wanted to fight me because his wife was encrotching on my space. What am I a Circus Freak...hence the title. What is it that brings out the worst in people during this time of the year? I was feeling peaceful and calm, minding my own business. Until at this moment in time when Mini-Me wanted to show how much testosterone he had flowing through his tiny little body. AND I DID NOTHING!!!! So with a raised heart rate and urge to go "Small People Tipping" I walked away and got in line to pay for..............HA HA, you thought I was gonna slip and tell you.....NOT!

What would happen if I went up to someone that was Vertically Challenged and patted them on the head, and said "Oh, aren't you so cute, how short are you???" Doesn't seem right does it? I would hope not!! Maybe I should just keep a tape measure in my pocket and take it out and measure them on the spot to make sure they are short! "Yep, just as I thought, you go to my knee!"

I shouldn't allow something like this to bother me....but for some reason it did! Why? I have weird things happen to me every day I am in public...this was no exception to the rule. Maybe because this Masculine of a Dude took it from good 'Ol fun to personal!

All the fun we had in Utah!!!
