Attitude Adjustment

I think I need one. I feel like my blood pressure is going up and that my head might actually explode. It is no ones fault. There isn't any unusual drama. Just me and my craziness.

My Sister Is The Bomb!

My awesome sister was kind enough to watch my boys while I went grocery shopping yesterday. It is amazing how much faster you can shop without two little people tagging along.

The hives seem to be gone. (crossed fingers)

Off I go to clean the house. Woohoo!! (completely sarcastic)

Oh, I would like all of the readers ( I think there are like 12 of you, lol) to leave me some tips that you use to clean and organize your homes. I could use all the help I can get.

I Do Not Like Grocery Shopping

I decided yesterday to try to get organized when it came to grocery shopping. So I got online and looked up the weekly specials at our closest grocery store. I made a list of the things on sale and then looked up recipes that would incorporate these ingredients so we could eat good and save money. Everything was looking promising...then I was in the shower and realized that I thought today was Tuesday. The specials only run through Tuesday. Today is Wednesday. Aargggghhh!! I got back onto the website only to find that everything on my list is now back at full price. So, I will either have to re-do everything I did last night or spend more money than I wanted.

I was having difficulty getting motivated to go at all but now I feel my butt dragging big time.

But I think getting out of the house will be good for me today. If only it wasn't as hot as blazes outside. I so do not enjoy being hot.

Wow! I just realized that I have griped and complained this post to death. Sorry about that. I will try to post later today while in a new frame of mind.

Brotherly Love

My big boy has been having some issues this week. He woke up Sunday morning with hives all over his little body. Hubby and I kept a close watch on him throughout the day and when they got worse I took him to Urgent Care so a qualified person could take a look. She said that it was an allergic reaction o some kind. He is now on Benadryl and Prednazone. He woke up Monday morning with almost all of them gone and by last night he was all better. Or so we thought. This morning he woke up with them again. Now, what kind of allergic reaction can make hives pop up while taking Benadryl and steroids? I have no idea. He hasn't eaten anything different. We haven't changed detergents or anything. But he has been such a trooper. He doesn't complain or whine. And even though the Benadryl should make him sleepy, it doesn't. But I have a theory......my little guy has been so whiny and tired that I think he may be having some sort of brotherly sympathy syndrome going on. Is that possible? Probably not but I don't know how else to explain the constant drama surrounding my little man. Oh, yeah......maybe the explanantion could be that he is 2.

If they could go for 5 straight minutes without there being a fight between them I might think I had dozed off and was dreaming. Nap time can't come fast enough today. I sure hope they actually go to sleep. Yesterday they both boycotted.

Feeling Weepy

I feel like I have been fighting back the tears for several weeks now. The smallest thing sets it off. And while I could probably benefit from a really good cry I am hesitant to give in to the impulse, afraid that if I do I might never stop. I would like to blame it on hormones but I can't.

God is good. And I know that He has promised to take care of me. And I am relying on that. He knows all about it.

Just Some Randomness

Staying up late does not agree with me anymore. What happened to the days of my youth when I could stay up late, get up early the next morning for work or school and never feel that I would fall down from exhaustion? They are long gone, I am afraid. The worst part is that I was not staying up to be productive or to do something cool. I was simply wired and could not fall asleep so I ended up sitting on the couch watching HGTV until after 1:00am. I was tempted to start a book but I knew that I wouldn't sleep at all if I did. I have a tendency to stay up way too late reading as well.

I was reading another blog this morning and she was talking about roller skating. And it made me think about going skating and it occurred to me that it has been over a decade since I went roller skating. How could I possibly be that old? Which brings me to the next random thought. I went bowling with my cousins while in Oklahoma a couple months back. We went twice. The first time my cousin (20 years old) was talking about how bowling should not be considered a sport since you could not injure yourself or even work up a sweat. We all laughed and I proceeded to beat the record for the lowest bowling score in the history of the world. A few days later we went back with all the cousins and their girlfriends. I stepped up to bowl the first frame and while flinging the ball down the lane I managed to pull something in my gludius maximus....yes, my butt. I couldn't even walk it hurt so bad. Everyone got a kick out watching me hobble and stand completely motionless while throwing the ball down the lane. My smart mouth cousin then reminded me that I must be old and completely out of shape because bowling wasn't even a sport. Somehow I had injured myself and had worked up a sweat (from embarressment). But the victory was mine because I had the highest score that night and I spanked all of those young bucks at their own game. Apparently standing perfectly still and flinging the ball is the method that works the best for me. Vindication is sweet. What isn't sweet is that my butt hurt for days afterward.

Okay, so was that random enough for you today?

Confession #2

I totally love cooking shows; all kinds of cooking shows. And I still do not cook much. I mean, I do cook most days but it is usually something that we have had a billion times. I am not creative at all and don't often remember any of the recipes that I have seen. Go figure.....
