Commercials

Dear Network TV people,

Please for the love that is holy can you occassionally put in a commerical during Dora, Wiggles, Wonder Pets, Yo Gabba Gabba or any similar show that is not for a toy! I am so tired of my child saying "I want that!!! PLEASE!!!!" at least she remembers the please, but I am required to answer her each and every time. It would help me keep sane.

Maybe just maybe an educational School House Rock commerical. I really miss them. If you are taking requests, I love the Noah's ark multiplication one or the bill on Capitol Hill. Heck, I love them all.

Thank you for you cooperation, in advance.

Turkey Time

We had a very nice dinner with my mom's family on Thursday. Her family is very small so just add about 8 people and it is a little party.

Today I am braving my dad's family. They are large, rowdy, and big eaters. So get what you want the first time though the line or it WILL be gone.

I braved the crowd at our small Wal-mart for some sales. I bought Rudy a Christmas present, and currently it is in his car?? What the Heck is up with that? He is spoiled. :) I am almost done have the mom and dad people, and one of my brothers left.

Hope everyone had a great day. I have so many thing that I am thankful for.

- God. He has given it all to me.

- My husband. He is still my best friend. He is a good dad and he is an excellent provider. He is the love of my life.

- My Kids. They drive me crazy, but are the greatest joys in my life. Their smiles and hugs... well I am so blessed there.

-Their Birthmothers. These woman are my heros and I thank God for them every single day. I hope that they have happy lives and know that our kids are loved so very very much

-Our family. They are the best on both sides inlaws and all my crazy people.

-My friends. They help to keep me sane. They listen, they laugh, they love with me. I am so thankful for each and everyone of them.

- One small girl still in Korea that has made me happy beond measure for her parents. We hope you come soon so we can love on you.

- Ragged & Cynical for all that you do and all that you are, and most of all for Veronica. :)

and many more that I cannot count.


Oh- last weekend I went to Kentucky and bought a new tree. It is a skinny tree becuase we have no room. It is prelit and 9 feet tall and so beautiful. It currently has no decorations. Do I have to decorate this tree? Can I leave it plain. I kinda like it that way. I will try and post a pic.

Help me decide.

Ornaments Yes or No?

Work, work, work...

all day long. Work, work, work, while I sing this song.

Rudy has been working 12 hour days for 15 days, and there is no end in site. While the pay will be great. We miss him terribly. The 1 1/2 hours a days is not enough for me or the kids.

In other news.

Ragged and Cynical have me totally addicted to Veronica Mars. I sing the theme music in my sleep. I want to be Veronica when I grow up. Of course the fracking morons at CW cancelled it. So. A long time ago when used to be friends, but I haven't thought of you lately... Alas.

We will always have murders, blown up buses, and Neptune High.

Hope that everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!
