WIP

In my quest for declutteration...declutterization...whatever, I have now moved on to the fridge. My last effort was the girls' room and I just can't seem to move forward. I need something that I can see immediate results. The girls' room will just have to wait until I get more self-esteem.

At first glance, it's not so bad.





But let's take a closer look, shall we?


Here we have evidence of the Great Bacon Bits Calamity of '07


The GBBC of '07 was similar to the Catastrophic Shredded Cheddar Incident of '07, but confined to the shelves only. The Cheddar reached nooks and crannies that, up until then, were unknown to man. I left the site intact for further investigtion. It's now a cold case. ba-dum-bum
Here we have the freezer.



A closer look reveals that wine bottles will explode in the freezer if you forget you put them there 'cuz you want your wine cold asap. That mess was overwhelming and you will notice I made an attempt to clean it, but crapped out chose to wait for a later date to finish the job.

So there you have it. I'll update as I progress in this endeavor. Peace out!

"Teaching Porn/ Grammar" or "Why I wish more adults were around during the day"


Loree: Mom, what's a twosome?

Me: It's two somethings. A pair of shoes is a twosome.

Loree: So me and Chelsey are a twosome.

Me: It's Chelsey and me not me and Chelsey. If it sounds like you are calling someone mean, it's incorrect. And yes, Chelsey and you make a twosome.

Loree: What about me, Chelsey and Abby?

Me: It's Chelsey, Abby and me. And, well, that makes a... *cringe* threesome.

pause

Loree: Ok.

Loree goes outside...

A few minutes later

Loree: Mooooom! I want Chelsey to come out with me and Abby and she won't!

Me: She's busy. She'll come out when she's done.

Loree: Guh! Fine. We'll have to have a threesome later.

*cringe*

Happy Birthday to Flash!


I now have a 14 year old! Happy Birthday, Ashlie! Some things about Ash:



1. Ashlie doesn't like to be called Ash or Flashlie

2. Flashlie wears sunglasses on her head all day, everyday.

3. Smashlie is obsessed with the Jonas Brothers. I mean it. Ob. sessed.

4. Cashlie likes to shop for Jonas Brothers merchandise.

5. Bashlie likes her youth group and lives for Sunday and Wednesday night and camp and retreats and youth group parties.

6. Mashlie loathes the beach, but goes anyway 'cuz she knows Darren and I love it.

7. Sashlie likes the mountains but she's never seen them.

8. Dashlie makes my life complete. Without her I'd only have four kids and that just wouldn't work.

9. Gashlie likes Danielle Steel novels like me.

10. Rashlie is a great daughter, sister, friend, leader and Jesus-lover.



Everyone should have an Ashlie, but God decided to bless us with the only one He made. I thank Him for that. *sniff*

"Oh, Moses, Moses, why of all men did I fall in love with a prince of fools?"

So, I haven't blogged in a while due to circumstances beyond my control. I've been teaching, catching up on the latest Danielle Steel novels, getting acclimated to a new church and grieving the loss of Charlton Heston. I've been a little busy, people. I am trying to make more time for this because I need your affirmation and love. Your approval is the fuel with which I power my life. Fuel=comments. Please leave comments! I love connecting with the outside world! So now, lets take a moment to remember my favorite Moses...

I liked Yul Brenner, too. I wonder if he's still alive.
Update: He's not...
