They think it is music

Car rides are always interesting. If you have ever talked to me on the phone while I was driving you would know why.

Kadence, Jakob and Krischan feed off of each other, or "talk" to each other. (Okay, so Kadence will scream, then laugh and Jakob will yell at her to stop it.) Or Jakob will yell, then Kadence will yell. After a couple minutes of this, Krischan pipes in, almost crying that they are giving him a headache and he can't read. So then he is yelling at them at the top of his lungs for them to stop. Kadence and Jakob think he is playing with them so they try to yell louder than Krischan. And this goes on, usually most of the drive.

I just sit in the drivers seat ignoring it all. How? Earplugs. It is all about earplugs.*

*of course I really don't drive with earplugs, but I have learned to tune them out as to where I really don't hear them anymore. So in context, you could consider that talent earplugs.

is anyone out there?

It has been so long since I blogged. So much so that I let my domain expire and it isn't easy to reinstate it…things become more complicated with technology sometimes you just give up. And that is what I am doing now on the domain, giving up and I hope that I can get my monday back. I will be back here.

My dishwasher died.

A couple of weeks ago our dishwasher was a loud raucous annoyance. It didn't used to be, it was one of those "quiet" dishwashers. Well, we use it so much I think we kind of slowly started killing it. It got louder and louder as the years passed, till it was at the point it was a couple of weeks ago. I am not kidding. It was so loud I would only run it when I was leaving the house. You couldn't even watch a movie because it would over power the movie. Then one day, we noticed it was back in it's quiet mode. Dishes looked clean, and they were...for a week. Yesterday I opened the dishwasher to put the dishes away and noticed they weren't even close to clean. There was a big pile of detergent just sitting on the bottom of the washer. Doesn't the soap know that it needs to get up into the dishwasher to clean? So this is my thought. Screw calling someone to fix it. We know that story, it costs just as much to fix it than to buy a new one. I say we buy two ...

who does the world revolve around?

Mornings can be very interesting. This morning did not disappoint. Jakob and Kadence wanted apple juice for breakfast instead of milk. Rick didn't want to give them apple juice because he felt that was just weird. He wouldn't drink apple juice for breakfast, so why should they. I laughed and told him that this isn't Rick's world and it doesn't revolve around him. "what!?" Rick turns to Jakob and asks: "Jakob, does the world revolve around me?" "No." was Jakobs reply. So Rick decided to ask him who the world revolved around. I was minding my own business making my breakfast when I heard Jakob say "mommy." Let me tell you, that is one smart little kid.
