Yes, it is time for another edition of Four Year old Philosophy....Today we will be discussing God and cereal and the meaning of life. Scene, in a car driving home from church. Boy: Hey mom! I have faith! Mom: Really? Do you know what faith is? Boy: Ummmm. I forget. Mom: Faith is believing something is true even if you can't see it. *thinking she needs to explain more.....* "Can you see God?" "No." "Can you call him on the phone?" "Well.....I don't know his phone numbe...

Since I have a moment before boy comes home from school and after girl has decided to stop stripping and simply put on more clothing, I will attempt to get a start on my JU Homework Let's list what I could talk about. My kids waking me up at 0430 to feed them Girl deciding that the best way to ride a rocking horse is naked. (pictures too!) The disaster that is my house. The insanity that my disaster-filled home is causing me. The lack of sleep The guilt over JU follies 30 things b...

Happy Birthday Big Fat Daddy! Enjoy your day! Link

Today, as I was working on my homework (yes another thinly veiled reference to the fact I got off my butt and started CTC), I noticed Maddy was leaning on the couch while she was watching tv. She looked like she could barely stand up so I asked her, "do you want to sit my me?" no response. When I stood up and walked around so I could see her face, I realized she was sound asleep. i don't know how she can sleep that way....although I was known for being able to sleep pretty much ...

After a disappointing situation with Joeuser, I have decided to not give up entirely. I am saddened by my own mistakes and the unexpected recaction of others. With any insight into human nature, I should have expected typical stupidity and etc etc. but I was naively unaware of the unfortunate circumstances. If you have any idea what I'm talking about....then this apology was for you. I'm sorry I hurt you. So the reason I am back here is to shout out to the world....I am BACK IN SCHO...

"Mom?" "yes?" "Did you know that Santa believes in himself?" *try not to smile too much* "Why yes, I did know that." "Who brings Santa what he wants for Christmas?" "Mrs. Santa?" "Oh. Okay.""

One of my non-goals this year is to once again lose the 15 lbs that stands between me and well, a healthier trimmer person. I'd like to have my body fat lower and my strength up. I'd love to get rid of the last of baby chub (just in case I decide to do this baby thing again, I can start with a clean slate) and I'd love to have a flat tummy and nipped in waistline....it makes shopping for jeans so much better. Right now, according to the measurements on several online stores, my...

Did you know that if you have 20 sheets of drywall in the back of a half ton pickup truck and the guy who loaded them says, "Don't worry, they won't shift."......they will? Did you know that they will shift at the worst possible moment? More specifically, Did you know that they will shift right when you accelerate to turn onto the access road to the highway? (with LOTS of traffic headed your way) Did you know that if you have a 4 wheel drive, you can whip into the grass, turn around...

Did you know that if it takes about 15 minutes to disconnect acomputer, monitor, camera, keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, and camera? Did you know that it takes signifigantly longer to move said computer and reassemble it? Did you know that if you forget that you installed a separate video card several months agao, you will have 2 video connetions? Did you know if the new one is really low and set in a bit, you will probably only see one, and get really frustarated when you can't ...

*Those stupid bulletins and/or emails that you get saying, "Your account will be deleted if you don't repost this/send this to 37,000 people!!! Blaaaahhh!!" If MySpace/MSN/Hotmail/Yahoo--whatever--was going to delete my account, they wouldn't depend on YOU to send me the bulletin/email, okay? Anyone who actually believes this crap is an idiot. If that ever were to happen, MySpace or your email provider would send an official notice and it would be on eNews and all kinds of crap. It's not goin...

I finally did it. I told my mother that she is no longer welcome in my home. There will be no phone calls, letters or other contact. . I talked to my sister afterward and she gave me some interesting advice. She has a list she wrote at 16. Somewhere between a nervous breakdown and a hospital stay, she was crying about non other than good old mom. My dad suggested she write it down and get out all her pain and frustration. So she did and it helped. But now it's helped he...

Things you never knew about vomit that you probably wish you didn't. A phone covered in vomit will stop working.....and even if it didn't, the smell makes it unusable. A 22.5 lb baby girl can vomit 10 lbs of puke in four days and only lose 2 if you keep pushing fluids. Vomit must be washed out of hair immediately. If you miss a tiny spot of vomit, it will dry and form a cement-like bond with the hair that will not wash out with soap and water. Screaming too long can induce ...

This morning started very early. 1 am early. I was awakened by the sounds of a barely 2 year old girl sobbing. I found her sobbing between barfs. After a carefully timed rescue/clean up mission, we sat (on several layers of blanket) on the couch. I just tried to calm her down. Vomit smells bad, feels worse coming up and is a frightening way to wake up. We go through the barf, remove top layer of blanket routine a few times before it looks like the worst has subsided. (ps It hadn...
