Here's your sign!

I'm so sick of people! WHY do people marry when they don't really intend to spend the rest of their lives, let alone eternty, together? WHY to women have children when they don't really want to be mohters?? Doesn't anyone in this world care about anyone elses' feelings/lives??? AM I CRAZY here? I just had to vent, I'm seriously fed up with stupid people and the effects they have on others. As Bill Engval states, stupid people should have to wear signs so we know who they are, I think selfish people should also have to, so we know.

Crafty me

So we needed an organizational fix for our Breakfast Bar area, it is constantly clogged with papers/mail/wallet/phone, stuff! Lori gave me the great idea to put a large narrow box, like a flower box, there with compartments. So I made one.



After it was all put together I burned in this pretty pattern.




Then I put this stain on it, which I'm not thrilled about, but it's too late now, and it is a functioning organizing box. TA DA!

LOVE those legos




SUCH concentration!


Went to LEGOLAND again! We took Lori this time though, she's never been, we had loads of fun! Damen loved this big slide, we went on it over and over and over again, watch how he catches air!

Fears

For some reason I am less afraid of having, say triplets than I am of having none, I'll focus on the least fearful of possibilities.

A rose by any other name. . .

Damen has decided to change my name, well title really. Apparently "Mommy" just doesn't have enough excitement in it for him. He now refers to me, mostly, as "Space Ranger." Sounds way better.

(Just this morning he changed it to "Teen Titan", I can't keep up!)

Prayers Please

Last weekend my sisters husbands(Nathan Doshier, formerly of Hemet) little sister Katie and her husband Ryan were in a terrible accident in Nevada. Ryan did not survive and Katie is in ICU in Reno with a brain hemorrhage and broken vertebrae in her neck. Their two month old baby was also with them and miraculously came out unhurt. Katie will be in the hospital for at least a few more weeks and has a lot to overcome, please keep them in your prayers, especially their families that are struggling with the loss of Ryan. Thank you.

#100 & Fragile Handle with CARE

This is our 100th post!! SO exciting!!

So yesterday I was ordered/advised by my new doctor to try an eating plan/diet, in the hopes of helping my infertility issues. The new plan involves no gluten or dairy, sounds like fun!
This morning I decided to start my day off with eggs, easy and on the OK list. I reached into the fridge and in my dismay at being awake and attempting to cook at 6:40am, I dropped the entire egg carton on the floor. Unfortunately not one made it out alive. Now picture this, 11 eggs and shells on the bottom of the fridge and floor, a little messy right??? WHAT THE HECK. Without using 1000 paper towels how on earth are you supposed to clean up 11 eggs off the floor??!!?? My method involved a spatula and a dustpan, maybe a good idea if the dustpan doesn't get too full and drip out the back as you're escorting the mess to the sink. 7 or 50 trips to the sink later it was "better" but at this point it was time for the paper towels. I sprayed some cleaner stuff down first then mopped it all up and sent it to the trash can with final farewells. It was even more sad because those were eggs given to me by my neighbor straight from her backyard chickens! Thankfully we do have 30 or so eggs on hand for just such an occasion, and with the help from Dustin(retrieving them from the fridge) I was able to continue on with my gluten/dairy free breakfast.

We later left for the morning and enjoyed some time with friends. Upon coming home two hours later a strange and unpleasant smell greeted us. Did you know that raw eggs in the trash can smell REALLY REALLY bad??? Well, now ya do!

Happy 100th post to us:)
