Lemons into lemonade? who came up with that?

Have you ever driven 45 minutes to a movie theater to find out that the show you wanted to go see was sold out? And it was another 3 hours before the next one started? Yeah, it happened to me. I had all three kids with me and was excited, yet nervous about Kadence and her first movie. Krischan loved movies, Jakob could sit through one also, so I wasn't worried about those two. Kadence was the wild card in this scenario.

The universe obviously wanted me to drive 45 minutes, but was saving me a nerve wracking experience probably. ok, I can deal with that.

To make up for the disappointment, we got pizza and had a movie night at home. Didn't get to see the end though. A HUGE storm blew through knocking out our electric and left me dealing with three scared kids. I wrapped them all in my bed, told them they were safe, then the electric came back on. So I turned the tv back on and played a dvr'd history channel show. The storm was still going strong and they didn't want to budge.

The storm was right on top of us and even made my heart jump every time the lightning sparked and the thunder clapped. I felt like Poltergeist was going to happen and a tree was going to break through my window grabbing my children.

Comfy and cozy, I folded clothes while I watched them. 1 fell asleep and the other two fought it. The storm passed and I sent them all to their own beds.

I am still mad I drove in to see a sold out movie though...

Musings over a weekend

The weather was beautiful, got to go out on a date with my husband, and got in my garden for some therapy. How much more perfect can a weekend get. On weekends like this my mind wanders (ok it always wanders) and I have specific thoughts that sometimes stick out like neon lights. Musing #1 I can not wait till the day where the only butt I have to wipe, is my own. Musing #2 In three weeks, if it is meant to be...we will have a new family member. (baby puppy..said in the most baby of voices...EVER!) Musing #3 If I had the money, I would hire Martha Stewart to organize my home from the basement on up. (She would be horrified by my current state of organization.) Musing #4 Amazing, I take my husband to a healthy restaurant, and he finds the most unhealthy thing to eat. Musing #5 I am going to wake up at 6:30 so I can get ready for the day, make my cup of coffee, and then go out and watch the sunrise. (that one is pretty funny. I can't remember the last time I actually ...

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.

The big hairy spider went for a ride

I walk out to my car today after class, get in, throw my stuff in the seat next to me and pick up the phone to call Rick so he knows I am on my way home. That is when it happens. I see a slight movement out of the corner of my eye, and there it sits, a large hairy spider, just staring at me. Me, being the arachnophobe, starts freaking out, looking for anything I can use to smash it. This thing is huge!! I am screaming into the phone for help and sensing that I am going to be attacked at any second. I reach down for a book that is close at hand and the spider goes into a vent in my dash. I don't know how it fit, but it slid right in there and disappeared. I began slamming the book into the line he went into and that is when the book was ripped out of my hands and thrown to the back of the car. The spider slowly came out from the vent, got into my purse and came out with paper and a pen. I think this spider must have escaped from a lab or something because it then proceeded to wr...
