Did you know...

That Conner's best friend is God?!

That Conner's best friend (God) said to tell me that I am an idiot (yes, he did get in trouble for this :-)

That Jon and Kate + 8 is now Kate + 8? Jon is f-i-r-e-d!!

That the alphabet has the words mint, toe, or minto or min (men) in it, well according to Conner it does at least! (L, MiNtOP)

That Conner just told me he's a "so much lover" so he gets the pack of cheeze its, instead of sharing with me.

That I am writing this blog as a way to delay studying for my Midterm I have to take tomorrow morning?

That as of yesterday Conner hasn't watched one minute of television because I am tired of hearing "I'm bored" everytime the tv goes off...and it's working great so far!! He has been playing lots, doing kindergarten workbooks and having us read lots of books!

That as I was typing the above statement he called me a "feif", sometimes known as a THief, because I stole some of the cheeze its he began mocking me with.

And that I have been pretending to take more just to hear the word feif over and over because it's just too cute and it cracks me up!

Hope you are all having a fabulous day, I guess I better get to studying!!

Not Crazy

No, you are not losing your mind.

No, you are not going crazy.

Yes, you are at the right blog.

Yes, this is my third blog today.

This is more light-hearted than the previous blog, which is why I want to stay up past my normal bedtime of 7:45 to write this.

Let's discuss important things that are happening in the world, shall we? Well, since this is my blog, I say we shall!

(And by discuss, I mean maybe, just maybe, my readers- this includes closet readers, Becky and Dad, ha!) can actually leave comments on this post unlike the post earlier in the month that was supposed to include our favorite things. I already knew my favorite things, so I guess I now have them posted so in the event I forget my favorite restaurant, I can pull up my blog and remind myself.)

Okay, first lets discuss Khloe Kardashian. Getting married after only a month of knowing the guy, really? And so soon because of basketball season? What about after? Well, I guess whatever floats their boat works for me, I just hope they have a nice pre-nup and good lawyers so in about 3 weeks when they can't even remember why they got married, they are able to break up as easily as possible!

And lastly for tonight because I am really getting tired now (it is two hours past my bedtime, remember), our topic will be in regards to Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Did she fall off the face of the earth? I think her baby has to be starting preschool next week and she is still on maternity leave. I hope she will be returning soon not when Barbara retires, which will probably be in two years, which is definitely two years too long. I miss seeing EH on The View...hurry back girl (you know, in the event she reads my blog)!

Real quick, in the comments for this post, will you give me reccomendations for the blog? I want to have daily things I start doing, for example, one day may be a favorite day, one may be pictures only, one may be recipes (which should be interesting since I only cook mac'n'cheese),stuff like that, etc...any ideas? I'd love to hear!!
I hope you all have a fabulous night!!!

Life is Short

Today I read (via Twitter) about a family who had just welcomed a baby girl, Chloe into the world just days ago. The mom has cancer and today she died. As I look through their pictures, I am forced to realize how short life is, they are just a young couple starting their life together. I realized how each moment we get to spend with people we love, is truly a gift and could be gone tomorrow. I realize that not only should we pray for this sweet family but also appreciate our own.

I know that in our busy lives we take for granted the time we get to spend with loved ones yet I also know that I will change that tonight for myself. I will try to not get annoyed with little things that can go wrong, I will try not to get stressed over things that do not matter in the big picture of life. I will kiss my baby a few extra times before I go to sleep tonight and I will tell him and my brother just how much I love them over the next few days, after all, life is short.

To everyone who is reading this right now, please know how much you mean to me. I do not forget the little things you have done for me, I do not take for granted the help you give, I love you all so very much, thank you for being such an important part of my life.

Please join me in praying for this family, I cannot imagine all the emotions they are feeling right now. Their blog is http://www.bandssullivan.blogspot.com/, read their story, pray for them, or even leave a comment, but be sure to bring your kleenex.

I love this song...

**REMINDER**

Hey Ladies! I just wanted to remind you all that the book club starts tomorrow...if you haven't already, go get Crazy Love, read the first chapter and join the Bloom blog book club, ahem, I mean please and only if you're interested!

I will be doing an actual post tonight, after the little man is snug as a bug in a rug.

Hope you all have a fabulous Saturday afternoon!!

Here are mine, and what are yours?

Last week I mentioned something new I would be starting. I said I would take pictures of my favorite things and post them here, allowing everyone to comment or agree or agree to disagree! Well, my camera is not letting me upload photos (and let's be honest, I haven't exactly taken pictures of my fav things, but in the event that I had, I know it would not work), so for now lets just begin without pictures.

Let's begin with this list:

1. Your fav restaurant.
2. Your fav recipe.
3. Your fav picture (for those of you who have cameras that work properly, that excludes Ash and I).
4. Your fav place to vacation (also include the hotel, places you visited/saw while there).
If you want a challenge, you can also list your top 5 trips, top 10, etc...

1. Ruth's Chris or Durant's--I love the filet from either place but the sides at RC can't be beat.
2.Mom- Can you post the glazed green bean recipe? And sour cream cheese potatoes? TIA! (I don't cook and everyone knows how to make Kraft Mac'n'Cheese so no need to post that).
3.Check back next week or next year.
4.Favorite places to visit--ADULT PLACES: New York, Palm Beach (really anywhere in FL). WITH KIDS: California (beach/theme parks), Indianapolis (Children's Museum/Zoo).

That should be a fun start! Can you tell I am hungry and really wanting to take a trip?!?

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
