Friday Fever

Take me home... 1. Do you smoke? -Absolutely not, I am a nurse. It would be a contrary to my career, plus "eww!" 2. Are you more likely to be caught humming, whistling or singing to yourself? -Singing. "Rockstar" by Nickelback. I am such a heathen! 3. Have you ever been to New Orleans? -No, and not interested now! 4. When is the last time you saw the sun rise? -Wednesday, on my early morning drive to work. 5. Can you swim? -Yes. Although if I was imprisoned at Alcatraz, I would not be able to swim across to San Fransico.

Sandwichy-Goodness

I know most of you are in search of a cute, unique, fuki looking lunch box for you childrens. Plus, I even bet your wondering what you might fill that butterfly, spiderman, or dinosaur lunch box with, right? Well, I have stumbled across an awesome blog that utilizes the coolest little lunch box! Stumbled in as much as lurking on one of my sidebar's sidebar! The lunch boxes themselves are a little pricey, and do in some way remind me of my tupperware lunch box when I was in third grade (may be the reason I am drawn to them). Bento boxes are sure to make your child stand out in the vast arrays of Walmart lunch boxes. Caution though, the local elementary cut lunch time down to 20 minutes last year (due to summertime sunshine). At that rate your child will be sitting there trying to open the third container when the bell rings, and would end up missing lunch altogether. If you decide to go with fashion, trendiness...then I also strongly encourage you to enjoy the blog that goes along ...

Back to School!

Image
Friday is crunch day! The kids' future teachers will be plastered all over the locked doors of the local elementary schools (locked for the appropriate reason of having PO parents who want to switch their teacher selection). I on the other hand, just want to know! I want to prepare...to get the waiting over. The annual back to school time has arrived super fast for us. I have been busy adjusting to my work schedule and have not noticed the time whizing by (unless I am waiting for a day off). The kids are getting excited, and Ethan can't hardly contain himself when he thinks about going to the school with the blue roof. He gets all giggley about going to "the big school." After all the hype settles, we realize that the desperate phone calls from both side of our families will ensue. My mom, now the she is linked up with a cell phone, will call while shopping, frantically claiming "I left the kids' sizes at home." Mark's mom, on the other hand, will t...

The Third? Why?

Image
1. to be needed 2. to see the relationships that emerge between the three (ethan and val want one) 3. to play the guess who's pregnant game with my mom 4. cuz trying is always fun 5. to attempt a vbac 6. to buy whatever i want for this baby since finances will finally allow 7. to have a child my parents can watch grow...not see only twice a year 8. to nurse one last time (favorite part for me) 9. to feel that new connection again 10. to be able to make this decision for myself 11. feeling that lil one kick and twist inside me 12. all the cute baby clothes, binkis, and diapers (did i just say diapers would be a reason?) 13. because the desire to have one more is not gone 14. to have a finale moment...to say goodbye to this part of my life 15. the smell of a baby 16 . baby pictures 17. to avoid future regret 18. and most importantly, to avoid being the older mother in the doctor's office waiting room, who looks fondly at the new mothers holding their infants and...

Get up sunshine, we can't be late for work!

Image
The first view of daylight. It's incredible the sights you can see if you deny yourself sleep! Phew, can you smell those chicken houses. I can't believe anyone would eat chicken after driving on this road everyday. He always provides! God is an amazing creator. Stop staring at me, I'm just taking your picture. What does this picture tell you? Notice the new pool and lawn chair/table set.

Buffy died for the third time last night

Quid Pro Quo: There is a key, made human by monks, that unlocks the door to a hell dimension. The hell god "Glory" has to use Dawn's blood (the key made flesh, and created out of the slayer's own blood)to open the portal so that she can return to the hell dimension and reign supreme in her world. As long as this portal remains open, it allows all other demon dimensions to have access to Sunnydale. The portal's open...what will Buffy (the vampire slayer) do?

suzanne's quirkiness in and out of the blogasphere

how does she do it? how does suzanne spell out exactly how i feel in about every blog! i don't think you need to worry about people liking you...you are extremely likeable! you are what the scriptures talked about this morning. a person who gives to those in need, selflessly. i know you are racking your brain right now thinking what you have given me...let me explain! you have given to me without knowing. i needed to socialize last tuesday, i needed to be able to relate to someone, i needed someone to encourage me, and i needed to feel connected (although i didn't need your MAC, sorry). let me say "thanks" for all of that! really and truly journey, and it's members has become an adopted family to us in the few weeks we've attended. i think these blogs truly bring people together. connects us. encourages us and as ronnie mentioned "is a place where the weirdo's can come and belong." to quote jeff's interpretation of what www means for the sit...
