RADDEST new tradition EVER! random tidbits, and story time!

back story: the kids came home ON ONE today. whining, fighting, bickering, crying, hitting,demanding, and tattling.

we all know that's ANNOYING!

after a few hours of that i finally lost it. i'm pms-ing hard anyway so add that crap behavior to it and i'm gonna go postal QUICK.

it came down to the point of beating everyone or leaving.

i opted to bail on any more fun family time. and left with Lance's blessing.
at 6:15.

he was still working. but my shift was OVER!

so i was loosing it. nothing new there.

i'd had a rough day. i needed pampering.

so i finally went for a pedicure , the kind i'd been dreaming of since my last one for my birthday in MAY.

so i went.

sat in the chair and had my toes done.

a fabulous white and red plaid with sparkle!

and while i sat there, i addressed my Christmas cards!

i am a genius.

it's a new tradition. i'm thinking the best tradition EVER!

and best part is? i came home to a clean house and kids in bed. hallelujah!

i have the best husband ever. thanks honey. YOU ROCK!

so now i can get down to the other stuff i need to do. instead of fretting about my dirty house.

OH and news flash to me. i just realized Paxton's baptism is the 27th. a week from Saturday. 2 days after Christmas. WTH? new stress.

and i am totally commercial. the stores have Valentines stuff out. i saw my valentines stuff in the closet last night. and I CAN'T WAIT TO PUT IT UP! how sick is that?

Valentines day IS my fave holiday. i love the gifts, the cards, the decorations. the fun of giving gifts without the stress of Christmas.

speaking of Valentines day how about a story? (LANCE IS MAKING ME TELL THIS) one year roughly 12 years ago. on valentines day my missionary that i'd written semi regularly,and been friends with for YEARS( 5 YEARS actually before that!) got my dear John letter saying i was getting married. he got it on valentines day. in a card with hearts all over the envelope. yes i was totally clueless. it was HORRIBLE TIMING, and i recently apologized. Lance on the other hand laughed at how bad i sucked. and how lame that was of me (and told me to post it,that it was blog worthy)

YES IT WAS. SO LAME.

now you know i haven't always been this rad. there were times in my past life that i frankly sucked.

shocking.

QUESTIONS??

i wanna know what your fave holiday is? and why!?!

are your kids stomping on your last nerve?

do you have PMS before or after aunt flo makes her appearance?mine is after lately and i'm talking psycho-mega-beast.

did you write to anyone in college? on a mission?

did you have to tell them you were marrying someone else?

don't you think the Christmas card addressing during a pedicure is the best idea ever? i'm totally doing it forever now. a little break in the hectic holiday season. AH FABULOUS!

today is the last recycle pick up before Christmas. better un-box all the loot. and get rid of it.

hope you are having a FABULOUS Thursday.
