Such a slacker!

I have been such a slacker the last week.  We, well mostly hubby, have been working outside a lot this week and we have had two flu outbreaks in our house, so I have been trying to lay low and take it easy.  We are getting a new roof this weekend and the whole process stresses me to no end, so I am going to post a few pictures that don't stress me out!  Enjoy!

Goober insisted on crawling into Monkey's bed to play with him.

Watching the penguins at the zoo.

Don't you just want to squeeze that little chunker?

Helping daddy.

I love love love my back yard.



I love baby feet.

...and baby hands!  :)


Love him!

Daddy's Boots

For whatever reason, Hubby's Army boots are one of Goober's favorite things to play with.  I realize this is gross and probably the germiest thing in the house, but he loves them.  Now Monkey is growing to love them too.



I love love love Monkey's face on this one.

My letter to society

Hubby left last week for WLC.  After he left, things were going fine until Monkey and I came down with the flu.  Ugh.  Dealing with that almost put me over the edge.  Monkey is better and I am getting there.  It would help if I could sleep!  Wednesday night, I literally did not sleep.  Anyway, as you can imagine, I am a little crabby.  Tonight, I drug the boys out of the house for the first time since Sunday.  It was time!  I still was not feeling great, but we needed diapers.  Have you ever noticed how people are extra annoying when you are sick and tired?  Anyway, here are my observations while I was out.  I wish I could stick a post-it note to these people's heads reading the following:

To the creepy 70 something year old guy who hasn't showered in about a year:
         Dear sir,  I think it is entirely freaky that you are purchasing ten little girl sized swimming suits.  I do not understand why you are doing that and honestly, I don't want to understand.  I am going to     go over to the furthest check out away from you and stand between you and my little children.

To the girl working at the check out:
Yes, I realize that I just spent $178.00 on toilet paper, diapers and wipes.  Thanks for pointing out how expensive said items are.  I thoroughly enjoy spending $178.00 on things that catch poop.  It is such a riot!

To the nice lady that saw my cart full of kids and diapers:
Thank you for noticing and giving me a coupon out of your wallet.  That totally made my day.  You rock.

To the idiot letting his kids run around the store like little hellions:
Dear sir, your kids make me want to scream.  Please control them before I control them for you.

To the other idiot person who is allowing their kids to run around in the car:
They made car seats for a reason.  Use it!  If you don't want to take care of your kids, I am sure someone else would.  Geez.

To the person that decides what you can buy at Target:
Thank you for finally carrying Monkey's formula.  I may never have to step foot in Walmart again.  This could be one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Warning:  This one is mean and awful, but everyone was thinking it, I know they were!

To the enabling mother in aisle 7:
Dear lady,  did it occur to you that the fact that you are allowing your very overweight 10 year old child to eat and candy bar and ride in the cart instead of walk might be the reason she is overweight?

And finally, to the person in the parking lot that held up seven cars so they could get a close up spot:
Please go shop somewhere else.


Anyway, I am a bit judgemental today, but I am sick and I am exhausted.  If my brother in law was reading this, he would say I was a witch with a capital B. 

I am going to bed.  Apparently, the world is ending tomorrow, so I guess I don't need to do any cleaning or laundry before bed.  Whats the point?  Ha!  Have a good night everyone!

Goober, the boy wonder

Seriously, this kid absolutely cracks me up. 

Here is a little bit of a conversation I had with him last night:

Goober:  Mommy, who wrote this song?
Mommy:  Mendelsen.
Goober:  Hmm.  Him did a pretty good job on this one.

I am sure that this classical composer is resting easy in his grave or wherever he is knowing that Goober, the two year old gave his seal of approval on his music.

A couple of months ago, Goober was dancing around and singing in what he calls, "my high voice,"  which is basically a squeaky annoying screech.  I said, "Goober, why don't you go find a ball or something to play with."  He came out of his room with a football and said, "look mommy, this basketball is a clarinet."  Oh my goodness.  The boy can identify every instrument in an orchestra, but couldn't identify the difference between a basketball and a football.  I love him.

My new Ticker ... Ugh

Did you notice my new ticker just above here?  I am tired of feeling fat and icky, so I really need to get serious about losing weight.  I am cheating a little bit with it.  I put my starting weight....are you ready for this? at 230, which is how much I weighed when I went into the hospital to have Monkey.  I know, I know, he weighed almost nine pounds, that is cheating, but guess what?  It is my blog and I can cheat if I want.  It makes me feel better that I have lost 33 pounds since I had him than if I lost 24 pounds.  My target weight is 155, so I still have 42 pounds to go.  Oy.  This could be interesting.  Any tips and all motivation is welcome!  I have not set a time limit on this, because I am afraid that if I don't reach the time limit, I will get mad at myself and gain it all back like I have in the past.  I haven't weighed 155 since high school.  That was a long frickin time ago.  :-)

Homework

Hubby is working on his Master's.  Goober has a built in desk in his room, so he likes to sit at his desk and do "him homework."
