glittery cups and Vasectomy dreams. in otherwords more random thoughts

last night i went to bed before 8:30 . which is about 5 hours before my standard bedtime and before all 6 of my kids. Lance had to put them to bed.

i woke up this morning with dreams of vasectomy techniques. what is that about? faint echoes of talk about the Vas deferens.

it was random for sure.

i got up. and made orange sweet rolls.

OHHH FAAANCY!

(don't be too impressed, they are the ones out of a tube. still yummy, and my kids were super stoked. i've raised them to get excited over the simplest things. we keep the bar low here.)

got people ready and hustled kids out the door.

then I hurried to get to the assembly at school.

Paxton is a math facts master. and got to stand up! ooohhh la la! i went alone. I left hope watching TV and Pierce in bed . it pays to have a hubby that works from home. WHOOHOO!

i did observe that a rather large amount of people from high school, and this area still live here. it becomes rather apparent at school functions. and is kind of interesting to me. and can prove to be incredibly embarrassing, because if you rush to the cheesy assembly at school, and you aren't all ready for the day, you have just thrown on clothes(unflattering ones at that), wet your sad pathetic needing a haircut hair, and have no makeup on, you feel super awesome when you run into people that have known you since you were 7. AND others from high school or singles ward . let me tell ya, i feel pretty.

am i the only one that still feels insecure about myself on occasion?

speaking of working from home. Lance works in the office.(which is a converted 2nd car garage)

the other day Hope came up to me and said,"where's daddy?" i said," he's at work." meaning in the office and busy.

she said in her sad voice,"i miss him." like she didn't realize he's in the stinking office 10 feet away. it was HILARIOUS!

today she said,"mom, can i have some honey bee?"

i ignored her, what the heck is a honey bee anyway?

she asked again more emphatically, "MOM! can i have some honey BEE?"

i turned and looked at her," what is honey bee?"

then it clicked, she wanted some "Sunny D"

i told her no it's called "SU-NNY D"

she repeated it, " can i have some Sunny BEE?"

again i repeated it slower and clearer, it's called "SUNNY D , Duh duh D !" not ba ba B!"

so i got up and poured her some Sunny Delight, since when did they shorten that anyway?

sometimes i wonder if it's her hearing or just her attention span? everyone else is lacking an attention span. i have to think it's genetic. and they just hear what they wanna hear. and fill in the blanks.

and i have loads going on today/this weekend. LOADS!

-gather and finish off the kids costumes. for tomorrow night's Halloween party at Grandma's.

-Gather and pack all the kids Sunday clothes for tomorrow morning's baptism we are attending for my nephew.

~get my crap together for super Saturday. tomorrow morning. i have my stuff already picked up for my class, I'm in charge of.

-the big kids are sleeping over at grandma Jones' because we are going to a party tonight, and she's baby sitting, and since i can't be at super Saturday and get all the kids ready in the morning bright and shiny early. and i cant' leave all of them to get ready with Lance, we are working it out like this. my poor mom. but this way they will go to bed earlier than if she just babysat, and we picked them up tonight. so maybe it will be easier. i just have to get all the crap together for it. TODAY.

then i get to go pick up last minute costume stuff from my sisters for Peyton's costume.

and get a haircut which will be fabulous! i can't wait for that!

i'm warning you now, tomorrow will be insane. don't expect a post from me.

i guess i should answer my own questions from yesterday too-

1.do you think about the stuff you'd like for christmas? yes! i fantasize about what i would want, do i ever get it NO! since for us it's all about the kids and no money doesn't stretch far enough. darn.

2.how early do you think about it? i think about it now. and right after school started, and all year

3.do you make a list of what you'd like? sometimes. but really why bother. i want a flat screen TV in my dining room. and a REALLY GREAT CAMERA. neither of which are happening.

4.are you practical about Christmas gifts? unfortunately yes? i buy myself Pink kitchen towels every year. but really i guess i'm not practical, if i got something useful , I'd be peeved. a new fancy camera is a want not a need.

5. do you prefer gifts that are frivolous and extravagant? yes! totally! for myself totally, for the kids, socks, toothbrushes, video games, and a doll for all the girls every year!

6.what is your per person limit in your family you try to stick to? around $100

7.do you budget a set amount for christmas shopping? no but it's low

8. do you buy it all on credit? no cash only

9.when do you start shopping? i have started already. i do the bulk of it black friday

10.which is more important to you?

a.saving money and getting the best deal?

b.saving time, you don't have time to shop around, or time is money to you?

i'm all about money, i have spare time.
