Yo. random delights you know you know you've been missing.
tonight. while Peyton was composing his biography book report(due tomorrow) on J.R.R. Tolkien , that he will have to dress in costume for (SUIT) and give. he asked me? would it just be easier to do Albert Einstein? YEAH you know we breed nerds when our 9 year olds biography book report choices are the author of the Lord of the Rings trilogy or one of the greatest thinkers of our times?
seriously. nerdy. but super cool.
in other news. family night. OVER! and that is enough. yeah the lesson was a sentence on playing fair and good sportsmanship. AND free play in the playground called my back yard. a veritable smorgasbord of fun for children of all ages. although there were some kids too old to know how to have fun anymore and whined at their mothers hip. and bonus was when everyone came when i was mopping because i am a retard.and said to come at 5:30 and needed every minute i could get 'til 6. but it's over. we had cookies from costco. brownie bites. Popsicles(slow melt fabulousness) and chips and dip. it was just snacks. thank heavens.
and the whole time i was getting ready i was dreading it. hating my house. and the reality in which i live and yet choose to ignore.
it's part laziness and part ADD, mixed with anal retentive perfectionist,procrastinator that can't get started because it can't or won't stay perfect so why try . yeah that is why my house is the way it is. that and i don't have the budget for all that i would like to do. like flooring. yeah we need new flooring. and yet. the budget is seriously lacking to redo it. and we don't do that on credit because if we can't afford it now what makes me think an extra bill tacked onto my normal bills will help? it won't and i know that. so it stays how it is. rad. and for the most part it doesn't bother me until i have people coming over for something. yeah a little anxiety.
its true. i have anxiety about visitors. lots of it is looking miraculously better. but you notice my blogging is being neglected. which bums me out.
in other news after book club the other night. we hit walmart. out in Gilbert. the greenfield one.
and i saw 2 of the ladies there that know me. they both had to stop and chat with me. ask how I've been , why i haven't been around. and so on. Lindsey and Brooke were surprised and thought it was funny. and yeah it was . that was the walmart i used to shop at a few times a week after 10pm. that was MY walmart of choice back when i lived out that way. they watched my progress for the majority of my pregnancy with Pierce, and after he was born he'd shop with me. and Jenn. yeah. it's nice to know i was missed at MY walmart. i have new walmarts now. and the ladies there know me too. it's kinda fun. and kinda weird. but it just is what it is.
fun stuff?
today i ran into Kaydee at Costco. that was fun!
i saw lots of people everywhere i went today too. yeah that was rad. since i hadn't put on makeup or done my hair. sometimes you just gotta leave and can't piddle around with those things.
so i just go. and end up regretting it sometimes but I've learned to roll with it.
and observation? i have been napping . I've been extra tired for no real reason other than i think that scan and the thyrogen from last week is still kicking my A$$. yeah. that is the only thing i can think of. but i have been napping. and i hadn't napped before this cycle of testing in MONTHS (well besides standard Sunday afternoon naps) but daily? it hasn't been happening. it is bugging me.
Zoo Pictures are now on the computer . post coming soon. do you wanna see the ones(3 shots) with all my cleavage that Lance took? or the one pretending to pick my nose Peyton took? otherwise you wouldn't know i was there . but I'll post the family. at stingray bay, and the elephant and the R.O.U.S.'s, the wallaby's? yeah those too. i know you are holding your breathe 'til I post 'em.
I'm off to bed. catch ya in the new day. maybe I'll have a blessing? or maybe a memory lane Monday. maybe a tag or two. or Maybe SPT. but probably not. but totally ZOO pictures coming tomorrow.
hope your Tuesday is FABULOUS!

Ok - SUPER FUNNY about our Wal-mart! It's been forever since I've been there, yet they rarely recognized me. :)
We all need a nap now and then. I've been napping a lot more lately too. I think it's the wierd-not-sure-if-it's-hot-or-cold weather! Crazy! Wish it would just decide!!
Get the rest you need, enjoy the cleanliness of the house while the kids are asleep or at school, have fun with your activities in the week and life will be good!!
You are RAD for sure. I never ever clean. It is against my religious beliefs. LOL OK so I just issues with the whole "spend all day cleaning leave the room for 10 minutes and then it looks the same as it did before" thing.
I want to be clean neat and tidy I really do but it is just beyond me and I have list of excuses and reasons. Mosltly just cleaning challenged. At least having company over makes you have to do it. That is how I am.
You said a lot I can totally relate to! I completely understand the part laziness mixed with anal retentive perfectionist, procrastinator who can't get started because it can't or won't stay perfect so why try. Oh, that's my life lately. The only time I truly get off my duff and deep clean is when I have people coming over. And speaking of popsicles...yesterday I tried to go outside for a walk to get rid of some claustrophobia and I ended up feeling like a meat popsicle.
At least your turn with FHE is over for a little while? I have enrichment at my house tomorrow a.m. which means I will be yelling at my kids tonight for every little mess they make. I hate that. But I am really going to try not to yell. My kids' feelings are more important than trying to impress with my housekeeping skills, right? At least that's what I'm gonna try to keep thinking.
i have a love-hate relationship with naps. hope you're feeling better with lots of energy soon!
Glad you got FHE done and over with, and sounds like it went well! I hear ya on the house, sometimes it is like, why bother, the kids destroy all my hard work in a few minutes, and I only have 2, I don't know how you do it with 6! Can't wait to see ya tonight!
I'm so glad that your FHE was a success!!!
It sounds so smart that you don't put things on credit. I'm impressed.
Hope that you have a great Tuesday. I'll see you tonight!!
It was fun to see you at costco yesterday!
I think all of us to some point do the same thing when people are coming to our house, I know I do and it drive my husband crazy!!
Take time today to breath and take a nap!
Sounds like you had another busy mom day!!!
I understand the no $ thing.
(go back to my blog and look at my pictures, you posted before I had them up.)
Glad your FHE went well. I get anxiety over having guests too. I feel like my house needs to be perfect so that they think I am perfect. Ha! oh, well, I can dream! Can't wait to see the zoo pics.
You are known far and wide, huh? Does that help you get better service?
Hope you had a nice rest and I can't wait to see the zoo pictures.
I am the same way about my house... I do not even BOTHER to try to clean up the playroom & family rooms until bedtime. WHY BOTHER?
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the donation for the March for Babies!!!!
That's so cool that your kids picky "nerdy" people to do their bio's on. My boys always pick sports figures. Jake was doing his writeup yesterday, too. (On Jackie Robinson). I wish they would pick someone else sometimes, but it needs to be who they are interested in, right?
Oh so many things to say... First off, I have the same flooring problem. It NEEDS to be done but I don't want to spend the money. The only time I notice is when people are coming over. The laziness/perfectionist is in me for sure. Love th zoo pics!!
Funny thing about looking like crap and then going out into public thinking you won't see anyone you know.....I totally did that just yesterday! Had to take the kids to swim lessons because my sister is at Disneyland (lucky dog) and I felt like crap all day and didn't care what I looked like because I didn't know anyone else whose kids were taking swim lessons......low and behold who would be there???? My ex-boyfriend that I was dating when I met micah!!!! Yeah, NICE! Here I am all looking crappy and have to see someone like that! anyhow, just thought I would share that little story because I thought of it when I read yours....anyhow, I'm off to bed now, but I really enjoyed catching up with you tonight! :)
