Netflix is coming out with the DVD Feb 24th!

This is a new Documentary about home birth:

The Business of Being Born

MMM Bacon!

No you can't see my answers!

Here is a pretty easy psych lesson for ya'll. Take the personality disorder test. My two "very high" were obvious... But I am not going to put them up for the world to see!

Here, have fun!

Personality Disorders

Siblings

Amie and Abbie are attached at the hip and love each other very much (TOO MUCH TELETUBBIES!).

Amie was sitting playing with a toy hippo and eating graham crackers. Abbie was eating graham crackers and asked for the hippo. Amie handed it to her... and Abbie walked off. Amie just said, "Oh..."

I asked Abbie, "Why did you take the hippo?"

Abbie's reply: "Because she didn't scream or cry."

Tag... I'm it!

I have been tagged by Becky for a love/hate list. So here goes:

I Love:

My husband when he is acting silly or wrestling with the kids.

My cuddly girls first thing in the morning.

A tomato plant.

Angry goth/emo music.

A clean kitchen. (So rare!)

Hot tea when it snows.

Growing fresh herbs... rosemary smells so yummy!!!

I hate:

People who hurt children.

Sinus infections.

Blackouts.

Hangnails.

LAUNDRY!

Finding a month old apple in my daughters jacket pocket... freeze dried! (I was wondering if she needed to start wearing deodorant!)

I tag:

Jason (Wonderful Husband)

and

Katie (My new Sister-in-law)

How was your day?

You know you are in a bad place when the only time you laugh or smile during the day is during a Korn video.

A new documentary.

Shouldn't everyone?

Amie is compelled to tackle naked people. Every time one of her sisters gets out of the bath, Amie runs around them, grabs them around the waist and drops to her knees. Sometimes she will just get drug around the house by her much larger sisters. Much laughter is had by all... especially when the entire neighborhood hears Maggie scream, "Amie, let go of my bottom!"

Nevermind

Sorry about the previous bulletin. I was in a bad state of mind. It is really hard to get 75% through escrow and then drop everything and walk away. God must have a plan.

Housing Plea

So I don't have a large blog fan base... but I will still ask... It doesn't hurt.

Our original home loan was 100% financing. We qualified for it easily. Problem is... our town didn't. Cal HFA doesn't fund loans for homes in depressed, recessed, or declining areas. Our town has all 3 boxes checked as well as overabundant supply and over 6 months on the market...

So to get the home that we have been trying to get it will cost about $6000 (+ or - a few hundred) . We need to find this money in the next 2 weeks.

So if you wish to donate the money to our church and get a tax credit... or give us a loan that we won't be able to pay back for 1 year... we would greatly appreciate it.

Cold

So we may have run out of propane today... I realized it was cold between 5 and 6 when the end of my nose was cold... Jason informed me that the heater wasn't working. Bummer!

If it is not a propane issue... I cannot imagine what is wrong with a 4 month old heater....

Pray for escrow!!! 10 business days and counting!

MMMM fresh!

So yesterday was Maggie's birthday dinner. She had steak, potatoes, broccoli and garlic bread. (All of her favorite things)

Unfortunately she ate 3 servings of broccoli... and today, the family is paying the price. During our evening story time, Maggie was fumigating the room... Jason is gaging... I am laughing... and Abbie states, "Smells good."

Blizzard 2008

Now that the power is back on... and the fear mongering is behind us...
for the moment...
here is something funny!

Merry Christmas?

So I took down the tree today...
I found 3 sticks of butter behind the tree. Wrapped up pretty in their original packaging... Maybe Amie thought they were presents?

Does they know they are going to ruin Christmas???

Abbie's teeth

Abbie: (Crying) My teeth are sad!

Mama: Why?

Abbie: They are scared!

Mama: Why?

Abbie: They are scared of my pinky finger!

Slippery Curves

So our road conditions have really stunk this week. White out conditions, 2 feet of snow, packed snow and ice... our snow snow plows can't handle it!!! So, to our rescue... a zamboni on steroids and this evil monster:


Note the "horns" coming off of the blades. Now imagine it being RED with black "horns" and you have our local snow blower... eeeeevil!

Not something you like to see in your rear view mirror!!!

Abbie makes my brain hurt!

Abbie: How old is Amie's head?

Mama: Her head is 1 year old... like the rest of her!?!

Abbie: I really think it is still zero.

Mama: No, her head had a birthday just like the rest of her.

Abbie: But her head is only as tall as this. (places hand above Amie's head)

Mama: Abbie, She is tall enough to be one... and so is her head.

Abbie: She is a baby until she turns five.

Mama: Ok.

Merry Christmas!

I have had these dresses since OCTOBER... it is about time I took some pictures to send to family. They have been emailed to the local photo shop and will be ready tomorrow for pickup!!! (Now if only my oldest two girls will stop stealing my postage stamps!!!

AWWWW CRAP!

Abbie is very interested in classical music. She wants to listen to music that is Adagio... (YES, she knows what Adagio is- Thank you DISNEY CHANNEL!) Unfortunately, while I have a vast library of classical music... few are of the slow, funeral dirge, adagio that her taste demands.


SO... my Itunes program shuffled through all the classical music... it came upon Brandenburg, Concerto #6. (Yeah... like you even know what that is!!!) And she comes to me and INFORMS me, "This is Moderato." And pats my arm.
