Brainy Thoughts

A doctor and a bus driver are both in love with the same woman, an attractive girl with an unusual name of Pibbles. The bus driver had to go on a long bus trip that would last a week. Before he left, he gave Pibbles seven apples. Why?

It has been a while since I last posted. So much has happenend my head is spinning still thinking about it. Since I couldn't get a job anywhere that I applied, I went back to my old job at the hotel to ask if they could work me some hours for a while. So greatfully they have done so and have put me to work. I must say that you know when your getting older when you work the swing shift, go to bed after 11 pm and can't get up at 7 am to get the kids up for school. Instead I hurry and get them up and ready without showering before leaving the house. Remember what I said in one of my posts about leaving the house without showering? I hate it! I feel slugish and dirty all day. Needless to say that because of all of this I now now feel tired all day long, and I can't take naps while I am home. Once I'm up, my mind just automatically starts going 100 miles per hour thinking of all the things I need to be doing. Does this ever happen to you? So anyway until I get used to this position, eye make-up will be my very best friend for the next couple of weeks.
Secondly, Jason's boss at Napa is letting me put in some hours there during the day and on Saturdays to earn some extra cash. It has been a true blessing to finally get some financial relief off my shoulders, especially since the 'holidays' are just around the corner.

Last weekend my mom and sister Katie came down to visit us for a few days, and it was nice to have them here. Friday night we went to a restaurant/cowboy show just outside of Moab. You go watch a gun fight, shop in the village, and then have a nice all you can eat dinner (very old fashioned), and then watch a comedy, musical act. It was fun. I wished I would have taken my camera... that was so dumb not too, the kids had a blast. So thank you Katie for inviting us to go, it was truly fun!

In case your wondering what the purpose was of the brain quiz at the beginning of my blog post, there is no true reason why. It just sounded fun. I found this fun website with all types of brain teasers like these, and I think I will try to post one every week. So I have a question, does anyone decorate for halloween anymore...I mean truly decorate? Not just buy candy and dress up and that's considered celebrating. People where I live just don't decorate the outside of there homes for halloween. When we lived in Salt Lake you could find homes almost on every block that had some fun decorations for the spooky holiday. You know, I went to Walmart last week to go buy some more outdoor things and most of it was gone. As in not sold out, just put away to make room for Christmas. Geese people can't we celebrate Halloween first? I know it's fun to start seeing all the christmas things, but I can't truly get excited about Christmas until after Thanksgiving. It it just me? The only pre christmas thing I can bring myself to do is hang christmas lights..IF it's warm weather. Even then I don't turn them on until December 1st.
No wonder the holidays are so stressful and nobody enjoys it. It's dragged out 3 months prior to the actual holiday itself.
Anyone who feels the same way about this please let me know what you do about pre-holiday celebrating and buying. Im just curious. I for one am looking forward to halloween next week even though the wind has destroyed all of my decorations. I guess that will make it fun to redecorate on halloween day. Im looking for scary ideas for halloween night...any suggestions?

My baby is growing Up

It is sad but true, my sweet little baby just turned 9 today! I still can't believe how life just goes by so fast. We had such a busy weekend for her birthday...let me begin. Friday she wanted to have a birthday party with her friends, so her party was set for 5 pm friday night. She had a detective party. The main objective of the party...to find out who had been murdered and bring them back to life for dinner and dessert. The girls had to follow a random number of clues that took them all over the house and outside, and some clues had pieces of evidence. At the end they had to put all the evidence together to found out who died (it was Cierra), who killed her (me), and how (being tickled to death by feather), motive (for stealing cookies from the cookie jar). It was so funny to watch all the kids get excited. After said and done, I don't know if can do it again next year though, birthday parties have so much planning.



Everyone made their own pizzas....
we had pumpkin cupcakes....and the most hillarious is some of the girls even came dressed to play the part

Here is the whole crew!

You may think this was the end, but she wanted to have a family party for her birthday on Sunday. I must be a sucker because we did it. We called all of Jason's family that lives down here and invited them for dinner, cake, and ice cream. Cierra wanted a castle cake...it took me all day sunday to decorate; ok ok only like 3 1/2 hours, but it was a lot of work.

That's ok, I didn't mind I think I let her get away with more because she is my 'baby'. So here's to her, she is a sweet girl who brings lots of joy and laughter to our home..."baby girl here's to you..HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Pic Tag

I was tagged by Monika, and Ihave to say that after the last two tags I was kinda dreding it, but this one was fun. Once tagged the rule is go to your picture file, pic the 10th file, and post the 8th picture in that file. Here it is.....

We were at my nephew Josh's birthday party. This is Konner taking his shot at the pinata...his absolute favorite at any party! It was cute to watch him. My favorite part is my nephews aunt giving the funny look and duking on the other side of Konner in the brownish sweater. Were not realated to her but her expression is funny isn't it? This picture was taken though over 2 years ago. My kids are the always the victims of my constant picture taking; after all that's what 97% of them are.

I want to tag Muriel, LaNell, Jenn W., and Sandi. The game is not hard and we all get to see cute pictures of anyone or anything. Hope to see your postings soon.

Weekend 'Woes'

Last week some friends of ours asked us to help them cut wood for their home this winter. I woke up Saturday morning to rain thinking that it wasn't going to happen because the mountains were just pasted in clouds. Was I wrong. The men decided it was going to happen. So there I was bundling up the kids with boots, coats, hats, and gloves hoping that was enough, I mean it's not like we had to go that high up to get the wood. By the time we were up there it was really cold and raining harder. The guys cut logs and the kids played. At the end of 1 hour, we were all drenched...literally! Soaked through on shoes, socks, gloves, even the coats. I put the kids back in the truck and made them sit while we loaded up logs so we could start heading out. Now this story doesn't end exciting, it was my long way of saying that I can't believe we went from having semi-warm fall weather to rain turning into SNOW? See it for yourself. That's right, were supposed to recieve it all week here. I guess that's what happens 7200 ft up, and living at the base of a mountain. I just thought the snow would wait this year. This is the beginning of an early winter I'm guessing. Oh, the kids by the way were soaked and cold, but had fun despite the weather and were very good sports. Now were just crossing our fingers hoping no one ends up with colds. I know lame story, but it made for a new post. By the way who can spot the horse on the mountain??? These pics were taken just right outside by back door on Sunday evening. So there you have it, my version of weekend woes because of the early cold weather. Hope you all have a good week.
