I'm sitting here at the kitchen table enjoying the silence. Miss A is napping, Mr C'man is at the farm with Papa and Ralphy (niece) and the dogs, oh yeah they are still here and K-Dee is snoring so freakin loud.
I have a lot of things running thru my mind right now, well I always do, but that's another post. Some of them are:
-Why oh why did i open this bag of Cheetos. Those are such a weakness for me, well and Chocolate Chip Cookies. I don't smoke, drink, swear (to much), but cookies and these dang Cheetos are my weakness:) What's yours?? (nothing to deep just fun)
-Remember little Armstrong that I've blogged about? 3 1/2 yr old with a brain tumor? Well his Carepage was updated to say his mom, @ 35?? years old, had a mild heart attack last night! My heart hurts for them. She is just so exhausted and now this. Little Armstrong is getting by. No big changes, good or bad. Oh and a couple weeks ago someone stole the tires right off there VAN! In small town Iowa! Why did these creep have to do this to these people. They are going thru so much, physically, mentally and financially and now this?? They only have one vehicle too. But praise Jesus that the public came to help. An Omaha TV station did a story on them and the kindness has flown in. So yeah, they are on my mind A LOT! Email, or leave a comment, if you'd be interested in getting one of the Cancer Is Yucky T-shirts that benefit Armstrong. He has a website outside of his carepage too. www.team-armstrong.org
-on a less serious note, I hurt my elbow. Last week, now really I can't believe i did this and I'm hoping some of you will grimace in pain instead of chuckling thinking REALLY she did THAT? OK so i was putting a necklace on (yeah a rarity for me) and I was summoned to the bathroom by some child. The multi-tasker I am,I continued to put my necklace on while walking towards the bathroom. Well i walked right in to the DOOR with my elbow straight out. I almost threw up it hurt so bad. No bruises and it really never hurt after that initial wham. But last night I was helping C'man get his jammies on and I did something to that same elbow. Not sure if i twisted it or what, but it hurts. I can still obviously type, but to put much pressure on it sends me in to hurtville (I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist but it does in my head). Not sure what I'll do other then keep complaining and see where I'm at with it in a couple days. OK go ahead a chuckle now!!
-I have got to tell you all what your shape says about you. Promise to do that next week!! Thanks for voting and it's not to late!! Check out the blog here if you're a new reader and want to know what that's about.
-Speaking of new readers, how many of you are on Facebook?? Another weakness of mine! But it's allowed me to re-connect with High School and College friends. One of them is Katie. It's been great to reconnect AND that she's a Conservative. I say that's a rarity too this day, in our age group. Of course I think it's more they don't want to openly admit it. But just wait till there grandchildren continue to pay for the stimulus package we have now took on, and they ask G'pa and G'ma if they were for it?
-Ahh politically, I'm not very happy about the Stem Cell Research being allowed on frozen embryo's. They are babies people!!! They can be thawed out, transferred to a uterus and become a baby(s). How can someone just say I don't want any more kids from my IVF cycles, just donate them to science. OK I'm stopping right here on that one. That another post in an of itself as well.
-The weather, my mom says you know you're in trouble in a conversation when you resort to talking about the weather. I think she's right on that. Think about that. It appears after the ice, snow and very cold temps we had this week, that we will be getting in to the 60's in the next week! I think I even saw 67 for next week. Of course on the heals of that will probably be snowstorm, but will take what we can get now.
-My dryer decided to blow a fuse and not sure why, but DH said not to use it. He suggested hanging the clothes outside. Ahh yeah right!! First off, on what? 2nd of all we're talking dozen's of little kids clothing. Don't get be wrong, i LOVE to hang clothes out (jeans, shirts, towels, sheets, etc) but not every little piece of clothing the kids have. And I don't' have a close line at the moment. I'm hoping that when he gets home from work he can figure out what the problem is.
OK enough thoughts by me. What's on your mind?

25 Random Things
So all over facebook are these 'notes' my friends are filling out about 25 random things about themselves. I've been 'tagged' by a couple and while I wanted to just skip it, I enjoy reading about others so i thought maybe I should try it. But like everything, I put almost to much thought in to it and some of them are rather serious, some are fun. And of course, nothing comes without a brief explanation. So here i go, and actually i got more then 25 but as my husband just said to me 'are you sure you want to put them out for everyone to see?' I asked him, 'What's on my list that is so bad?'.
OK:
1. I strive to be organized yet feel so disorganized. I have totes for everything, from cleaning supplies, to toy cars, baby doll stuff, trains, etc and if a toy car gets in the train 'tote' I panic.
2. I heart my vacuum. It is NEVER put away and i will vacuum at least once/day if not more.
3. I've started making a menu for the week. Using a different cookbook for every week. It's going quite well and I'm thrilled at not having to wonder what to have for supper every night.
4. Most days i wear sweats and sweatshirt. I simply brush my teeth, comb my hair put a head band on, and I'm going about my day. Quite a contrast to what i have been used to wearing for years and years!
5. I miss the intensity of my job but not the drama
6. I lay the kids clothes, and mine, out the night before. I'd lay DH's out too but he wanted nothing to do with it:)
7. I love reality TV (Hills, RW, Survivor) but could never be on any of them
8. I enjoy travel-but not camping, long car rides, etc. I like being outside but simply can not handle bugs buzzing around my head, the smell of fires burning, the dust, etc. Airplane travel and the stress that comes with it is more me.
9. I've been playing the piano since 2nd grade. Didn't love it all the time but simply think it was the best thing. I can play where ever there is a piano and can for years to come
10 I enjoy singing but wish i was awesome at it. I think being a singer would be a great career but simply not for me. I can't sing in front of people alone. Put me in a choir, duet and I'll be great but alone, no way.
11. I have anxiety (see #10) but not real bad. Test anxiety is the worst! i sweat like no other when I'm told it's time to take a test! (see blog entry about census)
12. I don't mind public speaking (i know crazy considering #10 and 11). I have recently started sharing our story of infertility, adoption and a surprise pregnancy, with others publicly.
13. I love to sell things. My dad always says I could sell ice to an Eskimo
14. I have lots of friends and love each one of them!!
15. I love meeting new people. If I like you, you'll be in my life probably forever
16. I really didn't like High School. I hated all the cliques and feeling in inadequate b/c i didn't measure up to whomever's thoughts. College was definitely more for me. People accepting you for you and being able to be who i am.
17. I'm a leader. (reference #16) I can definitely follow but if know one is leading, I will jump in. I actually was offered a job by someone observing me in a group.
18. I'm a conservative that happens to be a Republican. I'm worried, no frightened, by Obama and what will come of our country. I really think as a Christian we should all be very worried. My taxes should pay for abortions? Really??? I can't understand how a God fearing Christain can be a Democrat.
19. The years of infertility were the hardest years of our/my lives. The hurt, disappointment & physical exhaustion were almost to much to handle. But it's by the grace of God they are the years that have made me who I am.
20. I love listening to the kids run @ the house. There were times I'd wondered if I'd ever hear that.
21. I enjoy baking more then cooking but do both on an almost daily basis.
22. Not many days go by that I don't think of C'mans Birthmom
23. I'd would like to run for public office someday.
24.My favorite place is my friend Laura's, pool in New Jersey
25. I can tell pretty good stories about my life and all it's adventures
So there you have it. Some that are in the reserves are: I'm a secret blogger (LOL) if you're reading this you're privileged to know about it. Most of my closest friends are from college, My daughter acts like me more then I care to admit, I take way to much time doing things like this and i'd like a tatoo but to chicken to do it.
Now it's your turn, tell me your 25 Random things. Or do this on your blog and direct us to is by leaving a comment.
