I forgot to get a loaf of bread from the freezer last night, so I asked the boys "Who wants apple sauce, cheese strings and cookies for lunch"
Not surprisingly, all three boys thought that this would be an acceptable lunch.

Update on my ME
Well, combine three hours of sleep with excruciating pain, pain that is not dulled by the (many) Advil nor the (many many)Tylenol I have taken, and you will end up with a very cranky me.
I suggest very strongly that if you are the religious type, you take up your religious jewelry in your hand, hold it tight and start praying you do not piss me off.
I am, in fact, unsure I have ever been hit by this beast called PMS this hard before in my life. The anger at the slightest thing I feel is downright frightening!
A child asking for a cookie, a Husband asking for my attention, the dog begging for a treat, it all makes me want to scream.
I do not LIKE this attitude, and even in the midst of a red hazed temper tantrum, I can realize that my reaction is absolutely improper, but I cannot seem to stop it.
For the children's peace of mind, to save them from my angst, I have sent them outside to play. In the rain. There is no safe haven for the husband, he is stuck with me. We can only hope that this ends soon. Very soon.

PMS
So this is unexpected. I mean, my boobs have been tender the past few days, but four months I have done this, sore boobs and no period. So now, I guess, four months worth of aches and cramps are here at once?
AND ME WITH NO MIDOL.
I kind of feel like my family should don tactical gear and take cover.
(who am I kidding? The effort it takes to bring my coffee mug to my mouth is not worth it, I cannot imagine moving from this spot to attack anyone in a PMS rage! It's been four years since I was in labor, but dude, this is just as bad as the mid stages of labor.)
(AND ME WITHOUT ANY MIDOL)
shoot me please.

Nice Towel Rack
So last winter I borrowed a piece of exercise equipment from my sister. I used it once or twice. Even, one time, four days in a row!
but then, I had a load of wet laundry that needed to go into the dryer, but the dryer was full, so I put the load of freshly dried clothes on top of the treadmill.
And that was the last time I used it! Well, except for when I need a place to put my laundry.
I've been trying to figure out a way to get the treadmill back to my sister's place, she has a roommate who would like to use it (Whether for exercises or to hang clothes, I don't know)
ETA: Hubs just told me that the new car, (we have a new car since I got the treadmill,) he figures the treadmill will fit in the trunk of the new car 'cus the back seat folds down.

The Box
So, first I need each and every one of you to know and understand that i would sell my soul, I would sell my children's souls for one tiny midol. Four months of not having my period, and bam, it comes last night.
I would really like to curl up in a ball and cry right now!
Anyway. The Box. The Box full of wonderful delights from here to there, has not yet arrived. Hubs sent it airmail, sans tracking code, so for all I know it is lost in space!
The Box is just one of the shipping boxes that I store in my sewing room, but inside the box are things that took me weeks to choose! Funny Things, special things, Well, mostly funny things!
But. Hubs neglected to get the tracking code.
I sure hope it gets to it's destination today!
Pee ess : here is a link to my Sheila - when she does receive the box, I am sure she will post alllll about it!

September/December babies!
My brother's girlfriend is due in September with her second child.
My brother's Wife is due in December with her first child.
Heh.
The September baby is a girl, and I think the December baby is too, but they refuse to take a look see during ultra sounds, preferring to be surprised. That actually makes it hard when it comes to buying baby gifts.
Like my Friend C. She had a baby in mid April. I bought a baby gift for her, but not knowing the gender of her child I ended up getting her this dorky plush blocks set. Woo.
If I had known she was going to have a girl, I had seen the most darling summer dress, I would have LOVED to pick that up for the baby, but nooooooo, they want to be surprised!
Well fine. September baby will get an awesomely girly gift , given to her in the hospital, but little Mr/Miss December? She/He will have to wait until such a time as I have been informed of the gender!

On the Road Again!
Yesterday I had made plans with my aunt to meet at a local water park (FREE!! LOVE IT!!) so that my kids and her adopted child could play while we chatted.
We were to meet at 1pm, and I knew how to get to the water park - an important thing indeed! She called at 12:45 saying that she was running very behind waiting on a person to get to her RV site so they could all go.
Not a big deal I said, just call when it is time to meet. But when she suggested I drive to her RV site and we could chat while waiting. I very hesitantly agreed.
You see, I am nasty horrible, terrible, awful with directions. On paper, the directions looked very simple, I had to drive to Costco at the edge of town - I can do that! Then pass Costco, continue on to a highway I have never been on in my LIFE, follow wee little brown signs and eventually I would find the park!
I have never in my life wished for a Garmin GPS more than I did that afternoon!

Just an Observation
I was scrolling my feeds this morning and read a post. I think by Bossy? Any way, she had a picture of a STACK of business cards she received from people at Blogher 08.
What the heck is the point? Who is going to go home and roll o dex all those cards? Who is actually going to remember who belongs to which card? I say go and get a big box of promotional pens and give those out. People NEED pens. I always have one or two pens in my purse, more in the drawer set aside just for pens and pencils.
Each time you take out and use a pen, you cannot help but notice the logos, names, ect. written on the pen. Besides. Pens are useful, little squares of paper not only kill trees, is anyone REALLY gonna store them?
bah.

Two things :
1. I woke up at 9:35 this morning. Awake. Refreshed. Had no desire whatsoever to go back to bed. This is unheard of, especially considering I had a nasty horrid sleep. I woke up a few times too hot to push the blankets off, and a few times too cold to struggle to get them back on. The dog has a habit of laying on the blankets effectively stealing them. I also woke up at 5Am - ready to start the day. I went back to bed, obviously, but I had a hard time falling back asleep. I was WIDE AWAKE.
I wonder if its that whole exercise thing? They say that when you exercises you get more energy? And I have been doing my Wii Fit almost every day. I missed the first two days after we got it due to family outings, and I missed Sunday die to the Birthday Party/Coffee/Wasp stinging escapades.
2. Dog shock collars are horribly cruel. My dad and his wife put one of those invisible fences around their yard to contain Joey, a tiny 9 pound puppy. How they work is, the line is buried around the perimeter and when Joey has his special collar - I will tell you more about that in a minute - the collar will beep if he gets too close to the fence. if he ignores the beep, the collar will SHOCK him.
This is Joey.
Neither my dad nor his wife tested the collar to see the strength of the shock, and I thought, what a cool idea! Until my father brought out Joey's shock collar. It has two one centimeter prongs on it, and when the collar is on, the prongs make a connection on Joey's neck. Dad told me to hold the collar and go over the fence. I was expecting something along the lines of a static discharge shock.
Oh no! This, while it did not hurt, was 100 times bigger than a static shock, it was - to be frank, shocking! I held the prongs one thumb over each of them, and the shock went through my arms and my CHIN was buzzing.
Even an hour later, on the drive home, I could feel the shock in the joints of my thumbs.
My dad argued that the shock does not hurt - true, no actual pain to ME, but maybe to Joey who is 9 pounds there would be pain, how can we know for sure? He also said that the shock to him is much better than him racing into the street, being hit by a car or being attacked by a dog.
But still. The invisible fence is NOT something I would ever get for MY pet!
