Modem flambe anyone?

Yes, it happened! We had a BAD thunderstorm go through- lightning, hail, the works. I shut down about 5 mins before it hit, thankfully (literally 5 mins after we got off IM, Pucca!). When I tried to get back on after everything calmed down- NOTHING! So, I will update as I can, which won't be often. They want almost 100 bucks for a new modem, which we don't have, and our backup dialup only allows so many minutes per month. So in the meantime, be blessed and I will miss ya!!!

My blog's movie rating!

This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words: breast (1x) Just so ya know, it picked that word up from my talks of Breast Cancer.

A phone call

Oh where do I begin?

I have been busy to the max lately! In the past week I have picked blackberries with the Elders & MIL, rinsed them several times and frozen them, made & canned cranberry juice, made and canned spaghetti sauce, finally gotten the pool water back under control (chemicals), cleaned out the garden, removed the "kitty cover," caged some tomato plants, suckered the tomato plants, pinched my basil plants, got the master closet cleaned out, been cleaning up the yard, been entertaining, started buying curriculum, let the boys get a hamster (he's so cute!), yada yada..... Oh I also finished that bathroom ceiling, which I don't think I posted pics of. I have SOOOOOO much to get caught up on. It's anough to drive a weak woman insane. I guess that makes me weak, LOL..... Kidding, of course. I still need to finish "rebuilding" the master closet, buy more curric ulum, pick more blackberries, make seedless blackberry jam, fix the bread box, have some wood cut, m...

Appetizer Name a funny habit you have. Um, I dunno..... I have a LOT of binders for organising? Soup If you could instantly know how to play a musical instrument, which one would you pick? Piano. My Grandma who passed in '95, played piano. I LOVED sitting and listening to her play. The only things I can play on the piano are Chopsticks, Hot Cross Buns & Mary Had a Little Lamb. Salad How long is your hair? Not! It's a bob, not even shoulder length. Main Course When was the last time you forgave someone, and who was it? My Hubba- at least weekly! Dessert What is your favorite kitchen appliance? Oh this is a Lay's potato chip question. If it fits in the kitchen, it's my fave!

13 reasons why I am yanking my hair out by the handfuls in frustration..... Sebastion, age 10 Tristen, age 7 Keenan, age 3 Hubba, age old enough to know better Busted heads Sunburns Burnt muffins A cat that refuses to leave underfoot Delayed in getting moulding Stupid repairmen that are useless and useless (yes I meant that!) Having 1 car Outlets Drought Keep in mind, this is *mostly* done in jest, and I KNOW how blessed I am.

It was bound to happen sonner or later.....

So I get to Home Depot, and I'm only there about 3 minutes when Hubba calls me and asks if I was on my way home yet (I'm thinking, um no, I JUST left home 10 minutes ago, why would I be on my way home? ). I was also thinking there was a tornado watch since the skies are dark and we're expecting t-storms. I'm like "Um no, why?" And he says "Shorty (meaning Keenan) just fell on the hearth and busted his head open." So, knowing that he tends to freak out over this stuff, I just told him ok, and I was on my way. Called him as I was pulling out of the lot to tell him I was going to stop at CVS to pick up some butterfly strips. Luckily, I have the 2 older boys, so I'm used to this- both have had either glue or stitches, plus I had to take Hubba to the ER a few years ago for 2 different sets of stitches (he had 2 guys jump him and beat the schnozz out of him). I had really hoped that when Keenan had his surgery 2.5 years ago that those were his "s...

Happy Father's Day, Sweetie!

What Makes A Dad God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need, Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it ... Dad ~Author Unknown~ We love you Daddy! Love, Sebastion, Tristen, Keenan, Kayla

Appetizer Fill in the blank: The best thing about where I live is the vast amount of shopping opportunities. That's grocery shopping, BTW! … Soup Create a new name for a deodorant (like “Flower Fresh” or “Shower Scent”). Not-so-stinky-boy Salad What was the last piece of software you installed onto your computer? We had to reinstall our printer a few weeks ago. Main Course If you were to receive a superlative award today beginning with the words ”Most likely to…”, what would the rest of the phrase say? Have ripped out hair by the handfuls (boys'll do that to ya!) Dessert What two colors do you like to wear together? Nude & naked... OK, seriously, have a fave outfit of jeans a heather grey Old Navy top. I really love pink & brown together- a soft pink and a dark mud brown.

Thursday 13- #11- things I'd rather be doing

Sleeping Cuddled with the kids in bed Sleeping Curled in my Hubba's arms Drinking margaritas on the beach Lying on the grass looking at the stars Sleeping Celebrating CHRISTmas Having a girlie sleepover Sleeping Playing in a lightning free, warm summer storm with the kids & Hubba Eating out Did I mention sleeping? My Hubba was up some last night, not able to sleep, therefore *I* was up part of the night. I'm pooped!

Too stinkin' cute!

Ism's of a 3 year old: He: "Mom, can you help me make the sun go down. It's too hot." Me: "Honey, I can't help you make the sun go down. You have to talk to God about that." He, as he walks over to Daddy: "Dad.......?" ********************************** Me: "Keenan, I don't like you anymore." He: "YEAH you do, Mom!!!" ********************************** After guzzling the small amount of soda we'd poured in his cup: "Mom! My cup got dry!!!"

Friday Feast

Appetizer What do you consider to be the ultimate snack food? Doritos or chocolate Soup On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 as highest), about how popular is your last name? Maiden- 8, Married- Depends on what part of the country you are in. Some places a 6, some places a 1 Salad Who is your all-time favorite sitcom character, and why? Um, wow, I'm not sure. I guess 2 of may fave reruns are I Love Lucy & Friends, so I'd say Lucy & the cast of Friends Main Course Do you shop online? If so, name some sites you like to browse for goodies. EBAY!!! Actually I used to shop ebay a LOT, but then they came up with so many darned restrictions that they've lost their lustre on me. Now I tend to shop for party supplies (can get them cheap) and other hard to find items- certain books, CD's, etc. Otherwise I have a love affair with Old Navy and their bargain bin..... Dessert Fill in the blank: I think I should be President! BWAHAHAHAAA!
