randoms? again.

it's Monday. I've been tagged for a couple things but I'm , still working on them. or thinking about them , if i haven't done them by Wednesday, remind me again.

~~

i mopped last night, after midnight. just so i could without it immediately getting messed up.

i woke up to spilled water, and soda puddles.

typical.

~~

ah. i played mario cart with my kids. somehow i rocked my second round. and beat Paxton, and yet, every other game went downhill. we played 3 player and 4 player. somehow at the end, i was cruising 11th and 12 place, and going backwards on the track. LAME!

~~

i gave up to cook lunch.

Mac and cheese. Kraft. on the stove. Lance cooks it in the microwave always.

which it brings up my question, how do you cook your mac and cheese?

i do it on the stove always.

~~

so i got new batteries for my old kodak (3.1 megapixels), and can now once again take pictures for the blog. it even has video. here is the first vieo taken on this camera as seen on this blog. Joy brought me a bag she found in Pierce's room, here is her description of it's contents. with her theme song in the background.

so did it make you smile? i makes me giggle. i think she is darn funny. but maybe i am biased.

~~

in other news. i am in a semi funk. and by the way i never started taking the Prozac(the breakfast of champions) i got at the dr. i was thinking it would be a better deal to get it filled somewhere other than where i normally go, and really it is just worth the convenience to pay a little more. and have it NOW. i still need to make the effort to get over there and fill it. and start taking it. not that it would fix the funk, but maybe i wouldn't care then. and i could move happily along on my way.

i have been taking the Adderall and i tell you it WORKS. i am focused, and have more energy. and i can totally tell when i haven't taken it. i do have to think though that i am staying up later at night, alot later. which isn't rad. well it is, and it isn't, and i have been having VIVID DREAMS> which kinda bug, since i am normally not a dreamer. or at least i have no recollection later, and now i can tell ya all about them , and last weeks colonoscopy one, not so great. it's causing me nighttime stress and I'm waking up more, when normally i sleep like the DEAD. not sure if the dreams and meds are connected, or just a coincidence.

~~

so more plans for today? um yeah. i told my kids I'd help them clean the basement. and i have been wanting to/needing to overhaul Pierce's room. but seems like the only time i have to do his room is when he is sleeping, and he wouldn't be able to sleep while I'm cleaning it, so therein lies the problem. it's always a vicious cycle with me isn't it? and sad thing is the mess has nothing to do with him, it's clothes that need purged, sorted, and passed along, Or received, gone through and put away. i think i need to start first with buying more hangers. yeah. i need more hangers, and haven't found the kind i like for the price i want. i generally by the plastic ones from the $ store. but forgot to look last week when we spent 30 on assorted CRAP!

~~

i am officially DYING to go to Hobby Lobby! and haven't had a chance yet, and am fully afraid i won't get to until school starts. which isn't until August 11th.
but I'm not taking the herd there, so when would i go? it may end up being my 1st day of school celebration outing, and with no preschool for Hope i have ALL DAY to go places. without having to be home mid day to retrieve her. it might be nice she doesn't have preschool.

~~

i can't believe it's already the 4th of July! this week! can you?

our fancy plans? I'm leaning towards the drive in again. love that we can see 2 movies, all the best fireworks, and avoid the crowds.

we've also been invited to 1 family BBQ, and swimming in the coolest sounding pool ever(waterfall, rock slide,rope swing), and yet, taking my herd and being the one to swim with them is NOT TEMPTING. Lance is allergic to chlorine, (he had it cloud in his face once while treating our pool and he inhaled a bunch causing a bad reaction, and making him sick every time he is around chlorine) So that leaves ME, the fat mama to take our kids swimming. DREAD. so i avoid it. and i avoid places where i might be completely overwhelmed with scary swimming conditions when my littles might drown. i consider it a safety measure. and my kids aren't fantastic swimmers, the big ones are OK, but the others aren't. SO hmm, do i want to subject myself to the humiliation to maybe risk one of my kids drowning? nope. not on the top of my list of fun holiday ideas. IF both of us were swimming I'd consider it. but we aren't. and even then me in a bathing suit. is on the bottom of my fun list.

~~

so there we are , random ramblings, of today.

remember i wanted to know if you cook your mac and cheese on the stove, or in the microwave?

and how do you feel about swimming in public?

any super fun 4th of july plans?

if you live in AZ, Have you been to the new Hobby Lobby?

how long does a freshly mopped floor last at your house?

and do your kids look alot like orphans in the summer time? mine are fully sporting this seasons ragamuffin look. as seen in Joy's video.

happy Monday!
