OOPS! I did it again.

So, yesterday - not so good. By the time Hubby came home from his first job I just wanted to crawl into a hole for a while.

Then I went up to our room and he presented me with flowers. He never does that unless ...

oh no.

It was our anniversary.

OOPS!

I had done it again.

I did it last year too.

I started to sob.

And he laughed.

Later he ended up getting off of his second job early, we threw the kids at grandma, and went to Studio Movie Grill for an impromptu date. We finally got to see Harry Potter, and had a good dinner while doing it.

From now on I am going to color the date in with neon, so I don't forget again.

BTW, we have been married for 8 years now. Time sure does fly.

tasty

So, my couch tried to eat me yesterday! We had the hide - a - bed out for our friend. We were all watching a movie lounging on it when everyone but me got up. I was laying across the back, and when they got up, so did the foot of the bed. My dear husband saved me, but teased me first!

It was pretty funny.

Our attempt at no naps

So, Samantha has not been very nice about going to bed at night. She screams and cries at the top of her lungs for me. She upset Jenny, who shares a room with her, and Jenny comes to get me, making it worse.

So we came up with a plan. No more naps for Sam. Here is the results: (oh, and on the video, ignore the other kids. Thanks!)

Looks like we are going to have to figure something else out.

Oh well ... we tried.

what's romance?

Last Saturday we had our wards pancake and sausage breakfast with a paper airplane competition afterwards. As the men were getting ready for their second attempt, the MC said "And now for another chance at romance, get ready guys!" obviously trying to be funny.

This is a conversation between my son and another boy-

Ryan: What's romance?

Boy: (shaking his head) Don't ask. You don't want to know.

It was hilarious hearing the two boys discuss this. Especially considering that the boys sister just got married two weeks before. I guess he knows what he is talking about eh? hehehe

An attempt to do better ...

It has been a while since I have written anything. I am sorry about that. Things have been a bit depressing around here. My hubby's work has put their hours down to 40 again which is somewhat devastating for us. I am SOOOOO grateful that he didn't listen to me last December and got a job with papa johns for pizza delivery. It makes up the difference.

Anyway, I am resolved to start updating again, and to be more positive. I am going to try my best at putting something up here every day. Sorta like what I had started to do with my Joy Journals, which I have neglected as well. But this is not going to be my joy journal, this is just going to be my normal every day stuff, and hopefully some funny stuff to.

And on to my update ...

Our summer so for has been pretty lazy. I have been taking the kids to the movies and the library. Well, except for this week because we have been a bit sick. Jenny says that she does not like the library, but she doesn't protest once we get there.

I have been reading A LOT. Most of what I read comes from the Juvenile section or the christian romance section. In fact, I must admit, I have a member ship to Heartsong presents, a christian romance club, much like Harlequin, but without any sex, and with an uplifting message. I call these my feel good book, because they are the kind that you just have to sigh when you are finished with it because it always end nicely, and their relationship with the Lord is stronger as well. Anyway, my husband hate my reading because he always sees me with a book, and he want to read as well. He's just jealous. :)

I have read a series that starts out with a book called Bloody Jack. I LOVE THIS SERIES! I do not know why, but I am drawn to stories about young girls in odd situations back in the 1800's and usually on a ship. This story is about an orphan living in London who poses as a boy to get onto a ship as a ships boy in His Majesty's Navy. The rest of the series goes though all of her misadventures during the next few years, and that is the best I can do without spoiling the story line. The seventh book comes out in September, and I can't wait! Another series that I have been reading is Vampirates. I like this book as well, and I am waiting for the 4th book to arrive in the mail. It, again, is about a set of orphans and what happens to them. The boy ends up on a pirate ship and the girl ends up on a vampirate ship. This one is set way in the future, but it doesn't feel like it. Oh, and I read Enders Game, and the rest of the series that goes with that. Great read as well. I suppose I ought to start into the Wheel of Time series. Darrell is on book 9 of it right now. I just don't want to upset him by catching up to him too quickly. I think that I will wait until school starts again before I start in on that one.

Well, I think that that is about all of the rambling I should do today. I hope everyone has a great day!
