Muffins Anyone?

Here is a not so great pic of Tyler and I, but it works...I'm still learning this whole uploading thing. It's a miracle I was able to get this pic up. I really need a new digital camera...mine is not working well at all and half my pictures don't even turn out. There is also something wrong with the battery. It won't stay charged.

Anyway...also letting you know that I did not meet the farmer last night. It just wasn't going to work out for me to leave and I really didn't have anything to do with my kids. So, maybe Friday...that is what we're shooting for.

Going to make chocolate chip muffins now! It's cold here and I need something warm and chocolatey!!!

~have a great tuesday!~

TGIM...Monday?

I'm thanking God it's Monday, because it's one more day I have here on earth...but wishing it was Friday!! Why do weekends fly by so fast? And why can't I sleep in on Saturdays? Why am I always wide awake and ready to get up, but then on Sunday mornings when I have to get up for church, my bed is so comfortable and I'm in just the right position for perfect sleep!? Is that a joke? Or is it just one of God's way to help make us stronger by making ourselves get up and go to church like good people? Could be...have you ever noticed that on the days you stay in bed, you usually feel worse and end up wasting the whole day but when you get up and go to church, you usually feel better because you went?!

Ok...so I now have met 2 more guys that I am talking to...one lives about 1 hr away and the other lives only about 20 minutes away. The one works, but I don't know where and the other is a farmer... OMGosh I always wanted a farmer! Seriously!! I told my mom that a couple years ago and she laughed and told me if I was a farmers wife, I better learn how to cook and learn how to cook big meals... for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The one that lives far away...not the farmer....has 2 kids, age 3 and 4. Hmmmm, that's something to think about! Would I really want kids that age? Probably not. OH and another tidbit...the farmer...is only 27. I know- I know- I know. Robbing the cradle! But, honestly he seems so much more mature than the other one who is 31 and has children. Besides, with all my requirements that they have to meet just to even get the first date with me...I don't think I can write off 5 years difference. lol So, we are suppose to meet tonight for dinner. (me and the farmer) We'll see. I'm nervous, excited, hoping that I make it back home alive...OK I just had deja vu like I already wrote that. Do you think that means something? I hope not. I'm always scared I'll end up meeting a total freak who tries to kidnap me or something. Slipping the pepper spay in my purse and hoping to remember it's NOT hairspray!!

Well, it's 3:00 and time to get my nappers up so they will be all bright eyed and bushy tailed for their mommies and daddies in a couple hours. Is it 5:00 yet?

~later...have a good monday~

Happy Wednesday

I am so tired! My poor son, once again had me up at 4am with a major asthma attack. I can't wait until Oct. 27 when we finally go to the allergist. This is something that should have been done a couple years ago, but...how would my doctor have made more money if they would have sent me there in the first place to find out the exact cause. We wouldn't have been back so many times. I do not think peds should be able to prescribe any kind of allergy medication or any kind of asthma medication. A child with those issues should be sent directly to a specialist to find out the exact cause and what meds are needed or not needed. My child has been suffering for 2 years with "activity induced" asthma. Oh ya, did I tell you about all the "activity" that goes on around here at 4am. grrrrrr

So, tonight I will be studying -Handbells- and getting ready to start the first ever "New Life Christian Fellowship Children's Handbell Choir" practice tomorrow night. I'm nervous! I went and picked up the bells Monday night and got the sheet music/song books and background cds and tried to play around with them for a little bit, it's confusing. More so than I thought. It looks easy, there is background music and cards you hold up for different timing for each color/note but you have to get the timing down and get the kids to play at just the right time. This is the jist of it....I give each child a colored handbell, when I hold up that color/note, they ring. But, there is background music so they HAVE to follow along at just the right timing. I will be holding the cards and counting that timing. I just know on our first performance I will drop those cards or I will mess up the timing. Why did I agree to this?! lol Actually, I'm excited, I think it will be fun and I think that it will be something fun for the church. If we're good enough, we may do our first song in November. Ok, that is NOT next month right?!

I think I'm going to start a new thing on my blog...it's going to be "Website Wednesday"
I will pick a website or blog, share it and rate it, just for you...my faithful blog followers!!

Ok...here is today's:
http://www.finetuning.com/articles/p0-705-everything-you-want-to-know-about-hot-dogs.html
This site will tell you EVERYTHING you want to know about Hot Dogs. Seriously, I'm not even joking. I was sitting here and said to myself "Water Lilly, (cause that's what I like to call myself sometimes) (if you're not a Golden Girls fan, you will not understand nor find humor in that statement) Anway, I said to myself "Water Lilly, what would my blogger fans want to know about?"...my first reaction was 'Cheese' and I did look that up first, but that website is not finished and I wanted a website chalked full of info...so I looked further down and low and behold, there was a site dedicated to Hot Dogs! So there you go...everything you have ever wanted to know about Hot Dogs is now yours at a click of the link above.
I know, I know...I make life so much easier on you!!! I'm just trying to do my job.

My rating on this site: I will give it a 'B'. Although I do like the information, I wish there were pictures. But, I have to say...the question that has probably been keeping most of you up late at night, is answered on here. You know the question...why do buns come in packages of 8 and hotdogs come in packages of 10. That's answered!!! I honestly thought there were 10 for people , like me, who have 2 puppies so that when you grilled your hot dogs, your puppies could have one too. Although I highly recommend NOT dropping them down to your puppies right off the grill!!! Talk about a HOT dog!!! hee hee! I am so the comic today! I think some of that wacky Joey Gladstone humor from Full House rubbed off on me as I was up watching it at 4am this morning!!!

Ok, well I have 15 minutes before my nappers are up and I need to grab something to eat.
And NO, it won't be a hot dog!

~See ya!~

My List Of *little* things I hate/love

These are the little things that I ~hate~ and ~love~ in life:

~hate~:

*hangers - because they get all twisted up in your closet and when you go to take them out, they fall all over the place, plus they are odd shaped.

*dust - it's everywhere! I just took down some curtains and they are so grossly filled with dust it makes me sick - actually it makes me sneeze...(oh that's on my love list).

*rude fast food workers - Ok, I know you hate your job, so why don't you do something different, this is the land of opportunity! Get out and do what you want or at least have a nicer attitude, or "super size this!"

*cracked heels - I know it's fall and getting colder because my skin is getting dry and my heels are cracked. Looks gross and feels horrible! Putting my sandals aways now!

*clothes left in the washer overnight - they stink!!! And I hate when people go ahead and put them in the dryer and they dry in that nasty smell....then you wear something that's been dried that way and you smell it all day.

*pms - because it ruins people's lives and seriously, it's uncontrollable.

*mean walmart associates on 3rd shift - who better leave my mom alone! And just because my mom's skin color is of the minority in that store, they think they can bully her. And yet they would play the race card in a second and DO! (my mom is white by the way)

*big screen tvs that suck - you know, ones that guys give you to either try to impress you or just get rid of the piece of crap so they don't have to keep it around.

~love~:

*sneezing - I love a good sneeze, it just feels good.

*when my mom brings me starbucks as a surprise - she did that yesterday.

*good mannered children in public - or at least parents who do something to control the unmannered ones, instead of letting them scream like spoiled brats.

*my crunchy momma ways - I just figures this out this week and I'm excited.

*zoloft - although I'm not on it any longer and will never take it again, the 18 mos I did, were the best! Do you think they have a natural/herbal zoloft?!

*mums - they mean fall is here, I got a beautiful one last night for only $5.99.

***More will follow, so check back often, I will update this post frequently I'm sure***
