8 days…that’s how long it’s been since I wrote a post. Actually, that is how long it’s been since I have even visited my blog. I think I have been avoiding it because I have been in kind of a funk. Feeling a little lost as to what’s next. I am not a very content person when I am not trying to take over the world. I don’t like not having projects. Wiping butts, pouring apple juice and trying to get glue out of cotton shorts is SUPER fun and all but I am always on the hunt for something more.

So coming around to my blog just reminds me that I have nothing going on right now to write about! I figured now that the best way to get over it was to just sit down and start typing. I can always try to make sense of it at the end. Lucky you, you get to sort through my random ramblings, but that’s what you signed up for loyal readers!

Since I am having a hard time getting all of my crazy thoughts together for separate posts I am going to annoy you with a list. Those of you who are reading this on your lunch break will appreciate my list because it will be short and you can head back to work. Those of you reading this from the linen closet while you are hiding from your kids will find that this list is not nearly long enough. Either way, enjoy!

• Why does the media insist on burdening me with every tragic drama happening around the world. I get it, bad things are happening! I can’t shoulder the stress of the world nor am I in the position to fix all of it so please just show me what the weather is going to be tomorrow or tell me if an asteroid is going to hit me…BUT only if it is actually going to hit me! If it might hit me next year or in 10 years then don’t bother me with it today!

• There is a sign on the window of Ansley’s classroom. It says “Dress For Mess!” OK, I can do that…she is dressed for a mess. She is NOT dressed to come home with glue and glitter from her hair to her shoes! I can understand letting them be artistic without worrying about making a mess but it’s costing me a small fortune to keep her in “mess” clothes! Tell her to stop gluing her shirt to her shorts!! I write the checks so you get to have the hard conversations!

• I had one of those mom days on Tuesday. You know the ones where you should just go home before someone gets hurt. I had to run around to 4 stores on the way to Ansley’s school to find flowers for teacher appreciation day. I finally found some very puffy red roses left over from the weekend at a Walgreens for $15! Whatever, I needed them. We get to school and nobody else has flowers (every kid is supposed to bring 2)…so I ask and find out that it’s NEXT week! Ugh! So I stuff them in my purse and head home. Later in the day we head grocery shopping and every time I start the car to back out one of the kids yells ”You didn’t buckle me in!”…oops, good thing they are looking out for themselves…Once we get home and we have caused havoc in every grocery store in town, I notice that Ansley’s shoes are on the wrong feet! I ask her if her shoes were taken off at school and she said “No, you put them on the wrong feet this morning” *sigh* 

• I realized last weekend that I have these two big kids! I set them both up to color Easter eggs and they sat and decorated them, had fun and I hardly had to help at all. When did that happen?…

• I am obsessed with cupcakes right now…look for cupcakes posts…they are coming!

• We have a new “pet”. Actually, she is just a lizard that got trapped in our garage and refuses to leave. The kids call her Lizzie and she likes to watch me do laundry. She hides from hubby but she comes out and sits on top of the rakes to watch me fold clothes. I think we are all kind of attached…well until she touches me and then she is outta here!

• We have a small family so I am not sure why the kids think they can sneak onto the table and eat the frosting off of my cupcakes and I won’t know who did it…

• It’s only 6 months until the next Twilight movie! I am about to pee my pants just talking about it!

• Why do my kids insist on laying on the floor in front of the timed air freshener and then yelling “what’s that smell?!” when it sprays…for the 1 millionth time…”It’s the air freshener!”

• The dog is always eating the cat food and the cat is always eating the dog food, why?….just because they can I guess

• Lastly, we probably wouldn’t need vaccines if we weren’t required to sit in germ infested waiting rooms for two hours just to get them! Also, a note to parents of sick kids at the doctor; if your kid is sick DO NOT let them come into the “WELL CHILD and BABY” waiting room to play! After they have played with my kid for an hour, I hear you telling the nurse that they have had a wet cough and fever for 6 days! WTF?!?

Happy Thursday everyone! I must get these chores done because there is a lot of amazing television on tonight (Grey’s, Private Practice, Vampire Diaries…) OH! How I love Thursday’s!
