A Day Out

Today I went all over with my kids and while we were at McDonald's i jotted down some thoughts. Yes I am still in the stone age I do not have a laptop. Here it is

"Another New Years, lets call it a goal... Try not to boss my sweet kids around so much. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong, maybe I say no too much. Driving in the car today, that is all my son was saying No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No!No! and when I would ask him to please stop saying that, he would reply "NO!". Being Daring today I have gone to Post Net and our local Co-op with my 2 "Angles" lol. We are now at McDonald's re-fueling and I may even dare to take them to the library... May Ha ha, we'll see how my son feels in 5 Min's, when I think he will crash. Gosh I wish I had a lap top, I could be typing this instead of writing it down on the church bulletin from last weeks service."

"As predicted here he comes screaming to me, he has hit his mouth on something, now 2 seconds later he is off running around again like nothing is wrong. Can I just say that it really sucks that Burger King and McDonald's are the only fast food eating establishments with play areas. I am a big fan of Wendys, I like their nuggets WAY better than anywhere else, you can get a medium pop that is the size of an extra large pop anywhere else but cheaper, they aren't the cheapest , but I am willing to pay more for a play area there! I also like that instead of the plastic toys they will have books on CD sometimes and I love that! My kids can't sleep with out their book playing, what a great idea. OK almost done I have 1 more gripe. The new Alvin and the chipmunks came out in theaters and McDonald's obviously had the rights to the toys, I don't really care about that. What bugged me was that The Simon chipmunk toy would say "Da da da da da I'm lovin it" McD's theam song and the Theodore said "I'm Theodore ha ha ha ha ha" why not have them all sing the stupid theam song. I don't know it's silly, but it bugged me."

That was as far as I got before a stampede of Teens from the local High school came to eat lunch. Yikes I grabbed my kids and got out of dodge, it's OK if there are 1 or 2 of them but there had to be like 30 kids from the high school in that tiny McDonald's! We did go to the Library and my daughter got her first library card, so cute. We weren't there long, and I managed to grab a copy of Twilight, we'll see if I end up reading it. As for the cleaning of my house I didn't get much done just a few dishes, but thats the way Thursdays and Fridays are when I am forced to leave my house to pick up my daughter from pre-school. It's only 2 days now but in the fall it will be 3 days and then kindergarten... life goes way too fast.

New Years Resolution

So today I took a bunch of pictures of my house, It is driving me crazy! We moved over 7 months ago and we are still unpacking. You know how you have the perfect plan and every thing is just going to go great and there will be no stress? Ha Ha Ha, that was me and my husband 8-9 months ago. Getting our new house ready, cleaning painting, updates to it getting done. OK we move the rooms with stuff that we don't need right this moment. We did do some of that, and the plan was to move a room at a time and unpack it before the next round of things came to the new place. Some people don't have that chance to do that, but we did. Then it happened, I had been waiting for it for almost a year. The deck/walkway in front of our apartment was being resurfaced and of course it was going to happen the month we were planning all this nice organized moving. We talked to the men and they gave us 4 days to get all the heavy lifting items out of our apartment. So we packed everything up and got it all out. I should mention that had we not made this deal we would have had to move everything around the back of our building past 5 other apartments then down either a path to the guest parking or down a set of concrete steps to our truck. Either way it was a very long way to make my poor husband with his bad back move furniture. We moved it all and it never got unpacked. Now I have clothing, holiday stuff, garbage, and everything else piling up around me and I can't stand it anymore!

I have decided that I am finally making a New Years Resolution get my house clean and keep it clean by the end of 2010. I have also decided that I will be blogging about it and other things regularly in hopes of keeping myself accountable!
