My Blog-o-versary. I have been blogging for a year.
March 2006.
Wow, time flies. This all still seems new to me.
I have noted some funnies, a whole lot of cries and made several wonderful friends.
Happy Blog-o-versary!

Some Favorites
Some are regular favs, others are all NEW!
I have oily skin but my old tired legs of 34 years were looking a bit.... scale-e, to put in nicely. They needed some tender love and oil. I found this. Normally when I see the word "oil" on anything that is to go on my skin I run the other way but I decided to give it a try. It is wonderful!
As always, this lady gives me much to think about. Some things I have swimming in my head I just can't get them out on paper/computer screen. Others I have never thought of. I always find something of interest!
The Old Man Who Loved Cheese by Garrison Keillor. Plenty of giggles in the pictures and the text.
I showed you guys her wedding announcement. And I hope you have been going back. Always refreshing. She has become a fav of mine.
You must look at her etsy shop. You MUST!!!! I gave her as a Christmas present to a friend and really wish I would have kept it. Really, that is how selfish I am.
And of course....without this in the morning, I am not. worth. much. Fully leaded, on ice,love it with a straw. Tried to give it up for Lent. Failed. Have. to. have. it. For the safety of those around me.
What are some of your favorites?

Spring Cleaning
What do you do with:
~ cards that people have sent you?
~ books, that you don't think you are gonna read.....but you never know, you might?
~ magazines. And don't tell me to pull out what I like because I already tried that and have discovered that it is much neater to keep them in their magazine state. I have tons of pulled out pages lying around.
WHAT DO YOU DO????? Help...................

Wonderful Day!
The weather was nice. The company was great! What a wonderful family day it was.
We first headed to a Native American Pow-wow, a wonderful heads up from our homeschooling group we still stay in contact with. While we didn't get to see the dancers like we had hoped we saw plenty of artwork, handmade jewlery and Native American tools and weapons. We also tasted a bison wrap on homemade fried bread. Fried bread, I say! YUM-EEE! Rowdy One and I even tried a bit of white sage. Rowdy One declared it to be much like he thought a leaf would taste. I, on the other hand, thougth it to be a bit methol-y.
Next we headed over to Froberg's. Now as long as we have lived in this area and heard of this place this was our first visit. And we will surely be going back. We enjoyed picking our own ruby ripe strawberries and tasting sausage from the smokehouse. We brought home dinner of fresh asparagus, fresh green beans, ribs and sausage. And a wonderful homemade lemon pie.
Wise One and Rowdy One enjoyed being with us and being outside on a beautiful day. I enjoyed making some weekend memories. Chosen One enjoyed the change of pace.
Come on spring time. I think I might just be ready for you!

Sometimes......I feel like a volcano
ABOUT TO ERUPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Going on all at the same time.......around me.......while I am PMSing....
Dinger going off while Wise One practices his math facts. He won't go turn it off because he is finishing up one problem so I have to listen to beep....beep....beep....beep all while having this conversation with Rowdy One........
"Go brush your teeth."
"What is his name?"
"I don't know, Leahy, I think."
"He name is Leahy?"
"Yes, go brush your teeth."
"His whole name is Leahy, that is weird."
"His first name is Patrick. Go brush your teeth."
"Like Saint Patrick."
blink.............
"Yes, like Saint Patrick. Go. Bursh. Your. Teeth."
"Was Saint Patrick a saint?"
"I will not speak to you UNTIL you BRUSH YOUR TEETH."
"Geez.....I just asked if Saint Patrick was a saint."
Back from brushing his teeth.
"Mommy, feel my ribs. Just do this...right here on my ribs."
"Did you brush your teeth."
"Yes, feel by ribs."
"With toothpaste?"
Looking at me with really narrow eyes.....and stomps off!
CALGON...............take me away. With a bottle of wine and some ear plugs before someone loses a limb!!

Fish Pudding?
"What kind of pudding is that daddy?"
"Tapioca"
"EWWW!!! Fish Pudding!?!
"Tapioca....not Tilapia, Wise One!"
"Oh! I'm still not eating it!"
Giggle, giggle. We had tilapia on Monday, I guess he thought I used the leftovers to make pudding on Friday!!!! Silly kid.

Just when I think I get a handle....
I realize I have a handle on NOTHING!
This poor little blog has become very quiet in the last several weeks. For those that read it...hang in there with me. I have a friend who lives far, far, VERY far away from me who reads it to keep tabs on me. Non ~ I am fine just taking it day by day and that sometimes doesn't allow me to blog. And then there are those whom I have never met that give me encouragement and prayer through this blog. I still need the prayers, especially when I am not blogging!
There is just so much going on in my head these days. It is all a little overwhelming to a simple girl like me. I try to write it, hell I try to think it, and it gets all jumbled and senseless so I just keep it tucked in my head. Some days, that is not a good idea. So if you come here and read a jumbled mess don't worry I am safe and sound, I have plenty real life people around me that know my struggles. I am well taken care of......sometimes I just need a place to release all the stuff in my head. And that place is this little ole blog. It started as a place to document my funnies, my adventures with my family and my deep serious thougths. It has become the place to documents all the tough things in my life. One day I hope it comes back to where it started.
*****funny of the day*****
This weekend I purchased one of these for Chosen One. Rowdy One was looking at it this morning and said, "Is this for daddy to polish his meat with that butter water?" after a giggle and shake of the my head it occured to me how funny his mind must be, or any kid for that matter. The way they think about things. The way they make the world work for them so that it makes sense.
