Seriously lacking in good post titles.....

So I had been inspired by my friend Steve Warburton ( who is a champion of photo of the days and is currently doing a blog a day on facebook, allowing others to choose the titles. My day is coming up so soon Im excited. Its going to be different than anyone elses. Weeee!!!) to do a blog a day.

Clearly that didnt happen. But I thought about it. Instead, perhaps a blog a weekday? Lets see if the children allow for that to happen.

Nothing really exciting to talk about. I worked this weekend. My client spent 3 of the 5 hours I was working, sleeping. Like a little angel. I would be lying if I said I wasn't insanely jealous. Instead I cleaned everything I could clean and then watched tv.

Can I just say, childrens tv is NOT what childrens tv used to be. The family channel I think its designed to teach 10 year olds to be 30. IIIIII dont even act like half of these people. Nor do I look as good. Nor have I ever for that matter. Its good to see that todays children are learning that once lust fades its the proper time to end a relationship. Not trying to bash people who have been divorced or anything ( most people i know who are divorced its for very good reason) but I am a little concerned about my kids growing up with tv that teaches them that relationships must always carry excitement and spark. I LOVE my husband. I certainly don't feel the same way about him now that I did when we met. Frankly Im glad. Nothing would ever get done, and in that cloudy haze of ridiculous amounts of dopamine shooting out of every single neuron,making us pathetic beings we didnt really get to KNOW each other as well as we did when the crap of life started raining down on us every now and then. He irritates me, I irritate him ( but even when he's irritating he's SO CUTE!!!!! * siblings puking sounds can be heard from thousands of miles away*). You dont live with someone and never get cranky or annoyed with them. Thats life. There are plenty of valid  reasons to end a relationship but thats not one.
Anyway, I lack the ability to fully express myself sometimes. So that didnt come out as eloquently as I would have like. That was irritating factor number 1 for the weekend.

So hubbie and I are on weight watchers. Today completes week three. So far between us we have lost 11 pounds and we will see what happens when we weigh tonight. Anyway, on the way home from work i was craving sweetness. I was craving McDonalds vanilla chai tea latte. So I got one thinking it couldn't possibly be more than 6 points. Id been very good all day so that I could have popcorn with 2 tbsp of light butter for a snack that night ( YES i DO measure it out)...
Well I got home, and checked.
That bloody drink was 11 freaking points for a small
And it all went downhill from there. I was snapping at hubbie over nothing. You know that spark talked about in the upper paragraph? Well poor hubbie wasn't feeling anything good from nasty pants me. Not until Sunday morning after Id gotten a good sleep and was my happy sweet magical self again. Ha. ha. ha.

So we have been checking out a new church lately. REALLY enjoying it. Some of my previous re configured thoughts are being pre configured......does that make sense? Is that even a word? Hm. Anyway, really enjoying the preaching ( very biblically based. no hollywoodizations. im big on that.) especially the striving to be a welcoming and loving church to EVERYONE. Not just the cool people, not just the veterans, everyone. We have had a few conversations with all the pastors and we have only been going for 6 weeks, and they even know our names ( well the two we've talked to more than once) Im impressed. Their particular church focus really seems so far to fit with what Josh and I have been wanting to serve with and live with.

Also, I shredded three large head of cauliflower during naptime yesterday. I have never wanted a food processor more in my life than ever before. I made about 14 "mini" pizza crusts out of it. No, I dont have pictures. I didn't have time for that. As if I could even hold my camera still after that gigantic workout. But if you want one come get one. :D 2 ww points each! So simple to make too. IF you have a food processor.

My eldest child is faceplanting repeatedly in her crib now. She is always so great at letting us know she is awake. Whether its yelling, crying, faceplanting, jumping or rocking into the headboard, its never quiet. NO need for a monitor. Its especially wonderful when she does it in the middle of the night. ZZZZzzzzzzzzz

On another, happier note, she sings Jesus loves me. When she gets to "but He is strong" she gets very excited and says it with great emphasis. So cute. She developed that all on her own. Then somehow "backpack" from Dora the explorer makes its way in. Remixes of a toddler.

Because of this wake up I do not have time to insert more magenta into my blog design. But it will be there. Its going to look like a blog that belongs to a 14 yr old. Because inside, I am a 14 yr old. Just ask my babysitters. I frequently forget they aren't my peers and Im supposed to be an example.

and now, to let my dear seester have her way ( maybe just this once.....but maybe it will be twice. It all depends on how i feel) I will sign off the way she instructed :

Just sign off

  1. Yay for the shoutout.

    Family Channel is ridiculous and bad. I long for the days when 10-year-old TV characters were sad because they didn't get to help grandma make cookies. Now they're sad because their girlfriend dumped them for someone older. :P

    Why not do a blog-a-day for the month of October? If the day is super busy, you could just write a haiku.
