All I want for Christmas is....

CARDBOARD BABY!!!! Boxes, tubes, whateva!

Keep this in mind Christmas morning: they will probably have more fun with the boxes then they do with the toys....

at least the littlest ones do!

Brrrrrrrr

So right now I'm freezing.

Honestly I don't know if it would matter where I'm located at, this time of night you'll always catch me shivering and looking for my sweater and my slippers (thanks mom they are the best.... and if you are wondering what I'm talking about, you gave them to me about 5 years ago for Christmas... I think, but they are the best and I love them).

Jer on the other hand is always freezing in the morning.

This proves to be a bit of a dilemma, because, you see, I'm always roasting when I wake up for the day. So when he wakes up and tries to snuggle up to me to get warm....

yah.

Well, we'll just say I get warmer and then flip the covers off in exasperation.

Yes, I'm a hypocrite. I admit it...seeing that I put my frozen toes on him every other night or so to get my feet warm.

I have advocated getting an electric blanket for the bed, you know, so that when I get in bed it's already toasty warm and there would be no need to put my aforementioned toecicles on him for warmth.

His response?

"meh"

Then of course there is the covers.....

OH THE COVERS

They are slippery buggers.

They never stay put for more than one night.

The funny thing is.... somehow the top sheet always ends up on my side of the bed and the rest of them end up (you guessed it) on his side of the bed.

I couldn't do that while conscious while lying down if my life depended on it!!!

Unconscious? SURE.

Conscious? no way.

??????

Oh, the SNOW!

So it's finally done it....

it's finally snowed enough here for the kids to actually play in it.

Goober says to me this morning: "Is it Christmas!?"

I had to inform him sadly that it was not... but it would be soon.... Grandpa's and Daddy's birthdays had to come first.... (which is a whole nother post!)

Bee showed up hear bright and early (8:45... and again another post would be needed to get into my thoughts about that) and the kids decided after a relatively short time that it was time to go play in the snow....

And have snow fights.... not snowball fights (cause there weren't any adults outside to make said snowballs) just throwing clumps of snow at each other. Ya know!

And of course eating the snow....

The Energizer Bunny watched the kids play from inside for a while.... then when the kids decided to go to Bee's house and play for a bit his batteries suddenly became low and he needed an early recharge.... so down he went for a nap. So unexpectedly this morning a have a little quiet time :) I'm really glad that EB went down for an early nap though, cause this afternoon we are supposed to go look at more houses.... and that is really NOT fun with a tired baby. So glad mine won't be tired! Yippeee!

Ummmm ... what do you get teachers for Christmas??

I mean REALLY!?!?

I have no clue what to get Goober's teacher for Christmas. NO CLUE. I mean, what do you get for someone you really don't even know as much as an acquaintance?

I have no idea what this lady likes. Hopefully she likes kids (Goober seams to like her, so she must.... right?) I don't want to get her something she is inclined to just throw away. Cause even stuff that you are inclined to throw away cost someone some moola, ya know?

So any ideas people? really, I'm at a total loss here. SPILL IT! :D

Pretty please with sugar on top?

I'm a Geeeeeek!

Or at least more geeky than anyone I've seen yet :) 46%....

Yay me?!

Meh.

So the past few months have been kinda odd.

My moods have been in a total funk. I'm not depressed.... well, I am depressed but I have drugs to help that and they are functioning, I'm not sad or down, my moods are just weird lately.

For instance, I usually like to play World of Warcraft with Jer in the evenings. Well, not the last few months. I could take it or leave it. I usually end up playing sudoku or some such thing that has no real goal outside of exercising your noggin. Which is good, mind you, nothing wrong with sudoku, just a little off for me.

I can't decide if it's the fact that my meds are messing me up, or that I'm not in my own home.

Let me make one thing clear. I love my in-laws. They a truly great people. They try really hard to make sure everyone is doing okay. I just think that with my Independence and my pride issues that living with someone else is a bit of a bruiser on the ego, and maybe playing games with my moods? That and the fact that we are having a bit of a challenge finding a house we like in our price range. I'm starting to think that we would have been better off staying in our old house.

Nothing can be done about that though. So it's not really worth dwelling on.

Not really sure what is up though.

I really hope that once we get into our own home again that things return to "normal" and I really hope that it's not too hard on the kids.

So, in case you've notice that I haven't been blogging as much, and I have seamed a little preoccupied... that would be the reasons. :)

P.S. I DID update the hair picture for today, and can I say I'm proud of that hairstyle and the fact that Missy sat still long enough for me to do it!

Movie Obsessions

So Goober has a new movie he wants to watch constantly. It's a movie that his Grandma S has (and the kids will be getting from a certain man in red towards the end of December). It's the perfect "quiet" movie because of the near nonexistent script. Most of the movie you can watch without sound and get what is going on.... yeah for those times when the whole house is asleep except for the kids and myself (weekend mornings people!) and I try really hard not to let them wake people up on one of the only "sleep in" days of the week.

The movie is Wall-E.

Goober is obsessed enough to even draw pictures for your entertainment value... and this is a kid that does not like to color! And he drew both of them at least seven times... and this without prompting!

Wall-E:

Eve-uh:

Anyone know where MY kid went??? :D
