biggest lie

made me laugh out loud!

Let's see...Saturday I cleaned out my fridge and pantry while doing so I wrote a grociery list of the must needs. I get in the car and get more then half way to store and think crap I left the list on the counter...ugh...I tell myself no need to worry, I will remember everything! Get home and I left about six items off my list and of course I needed that night two of the items I had forgotten. 

Why is it so hard to remember? Is it because I am 30...this is what my husband tells me all the time to get me hot and bothered! Is it because I have two kids who drive me crazy while I am going down the isles because they want a toy/candy/movie/book and cry/beg and plead with me until I finally say yes? (I can not get to upset b/c I remember doing this with my father-until one day he said nope no more taking the girls with me to the store!) Either way whatever it is I wish that not only being able to remember what I need would be a blessing but if that fails I wish I could remember the list of what I need to remember before leaving the house!

new way of thinking...

This hits me very hard today! I am not even sure how in a few days it will be March!!! Where has the time gone...I am sitting at my desk working, helping with computer problems, copier problems, shipping problems, all the while thinking of no baseball practice tonight, haven't gotten a chance to run in a week-feel awful want to start running now-, Kenny will be home tonight for five days-so excited!-wait did I pick up the house this morning--no I did not because this morning I woke up 30 minutes late, Hudson better eat his lunch today at school because he did not eat it yesterday, I hope Trenton has cleaned out his desk at school because last week when I saw his desk I thought how does he live like that at school because he is clean at the house-or is that because I am on top of him all the time to pick up his clothes/legos (that really do hurt when you step on them just right in the dark!) ugh when do I get to get my hair done again...only takes two hours of my life away that I would rather be spending with the family, baseball practice tomorrow, birthday party Saturday, baseball practice Saturday, baseball lesson Sunday, baseball practice Sunday...oh why is there practice Saturday and Sunday????, Can not wait to get back to my book it is at such a good part, need to find a hotel in Florida for our trip this summer, need to find fun things to do here when Kenny's family comes out---super super excited about that one, need to call his sister to see if her kids can make it out-hesitant on that one since I dont ever talk to his sister but love love love her kids....the list goes on and on........
Does my brain ever stop??? Not today that I know for sure!!!! Hopefully tonight my brain will stop-make metal note now to have brain stop-and I will be able to enjoy reading the Bible to the boys! I remember when my mom would get all of us on her bed and we would read the bible together and she would explain the pictures....this is way different then the Children's Bible I am reading with my boys...I hope my boys will remember this...hopefully Trenton remembers the talk we had about blessings and talent and not to keep it to share with others. (see my brain never stops!!!!!!!!)
Learn how to take every 86,400 seconds and use it wisely!!!!! teach the boys this too!

pinterest project complete!

Above is the idea I stole from someone on Pinterest....taking your children's art work and making art with it....as my sweet loving neighbor's husband said...."what are you trying to out due your kids art by making better art with their art?" His wife hit him for me :)  below is the idea that i did with the boys art. my mother said, "oh it looks like what you find under a microscope right?" I said, "no, its supposed to be paisley, maybe its the camera phone picture??!!??"


Hudson is on the left and Trenton is on the right


I am going to make two more but with a hand print and a picture of them of the year the hand print was made and then put them on their wall in the play room.

next pinterest project started...

Picture and idea from Pinterest

Is this not the best idea ever for the millions and millions of saved art from my boys!?!? With Trenton I did not throw away one art or school paper...o.k. maybe his spelling tests he did not get 100 on...and with Hudson I try and throw some of it away but he will dig them out of the trash and ask me, "why did i throw this away?" While he asks he has this...bitch I caught you look and I can't believe you don't love me enough to save this! Ya think I might take his looks a bit too personal???? It gets me every time though!
This past weekend I painted two small canvases and they are dried and ready for me to put their art work on display!!!!! I still have not picked out a patterned b/c although this is very cute I of course want to be different and have a pattern I love. So off to find a pattern and I can not wait til I am finished with my second Pinterest project to show you....it will be next week since I have no time at all during this week of busy/crazy/mom/carpooling/baseball/church classes/running...not sure how i will fit that one in.

I will try again tomorrow (tonight!)

I have to say this has been the worst week since I have started running...I have only run once since last Thursday's 5 mile run and it was only a 2 mile run. Last week my Nike+ app congratulated me for running more then I have had in any week since I started with the app. I could explain each day way to you but really it is all just an excuse that I should not even have let myself have taken.
Instead I will just leave with this that I found on Pinterest and it just hit home:

BOYS VDAY GIFTS TO CLASS

Each year I usually leave it up to good ole Target and their limited isle of left over Valentine cards to have the boys sign and pass out for Valentines Day but this year is different.....I have Pinterest!!!!
I saw this on Pinterest and thought I could do this-print/cut/fill/staple. How hard could that be right?!?!! So this year the boys will be going to school with their bags of TIC TAC TOE board games with five markers for the O's and five markers for the X's! Hudson had been saying tic tac toe three in a row for the past few days and I hope the kids enjoy it as much as he does!
OH...yes I added a pencil to the bag instead of candy thanks to the thoughtful workers at Target making pencils for Valentines Day for both girls and boys!

HAPPY HEART DAY!!!!!

5 miles

After running four miles for two weeks I finally got the nerve to put my handy Nike+ running app on 5miles! I have come to realize the reason why so many people get addicted to running and the poster below says it in more ways than I could ever explain! If you were a non runner like me....start running!!!!
