Gatherers....EEK!!!

I have two dogs that I think are just splendid. We have a system, in the middle of the night Daniel lets the dogs out to potty and SUCH, then as I am dead asleep the dogs come back in and jump on the bed to by us some more time for the important things like sleep. We have a king size bed, so we cuddle up in the middle and Teddy jumps up by my head which whatever, well this was a special morning.

Take note of these key points.... about 3 am Daniel let the dogs out and in, Teddy jumped up by my head (which I will never allow again) while Sylus laid on his bed, then mind you it's still dark at 6:38AM the dogs once again woke me up to go outside, they went out and I came to lay in the bed just jor like the next 2 minutes while they potty........ side note... PUKE!!!! I was climbing into bed when I looked next to my pillow I saw something I couldn't really make it out , it looked to me as though it was a pickle which would be strange because well it's a pickle on the bed.. lets be honest!!! So I grabbed it and yes it was soft warm and a little furry.... CHILLS, throwing up I turned on the light and it was a Vole.... A dead vole, it's a mix between a MOLE and a Mouse I don't care what it is only the fact that my good dogs just wanted to show mommy what they had killed for me!!!! Daniel threw it away and we stripped the bed, goodnight I slept next to this dead animal for about 3.5 hours, that was a good time. My dogs hunt and gather but never eat.... they just like to show me when I get home or in this case get up!!!

You know how in school when they do the LICE checks and even if you don't have them you itch like crazy................. WELCOME to my day.

NO sugar added

I have been on this no sugar kick which is great..... Stores sell tons of stuff. One issue is that no wonder America is overweight fat food is cheap food, healthy food is pricey. Regular hotdogs $.69 fat free hotdogs $2.50 + lets just say it adds up quick. Either way we are doing it. I am just grateful stores now offer a healthier option! On to my point.... I have this constant craving for gummie bears, jelly beans sweets in general. Well Winco offers in "bulk" sugar free goods so I crazy stocked up jelly beans and gummie bears. I finally chose to read the bin that they came out of and it reads.... "Excessive consumption MAY cause a laxative effect" and I decided to read the bin far after I "excessively consumed". Let me just say they put this "warning" on the bin for a reason......

AMEN

Run down cars SLAY me.

So today I was taking my normal route to work, i was getting ready to pass this guy in a beater truck, it looked like the drivers side window had like foggy streaks on it.... I proceed closer and no actually not fog. There were 4 plastic spoons lodged in the window holding it up. Very resourceful.

MOVIES

Let me just tell you that I watched Mr. Magoriums Wonder Emporium.... WOW don't waste your time. It was like Midnight watching it with my G-ma, Mom and Daniel. About 30 minutes of this movie Nana went to sleep. Then after about an hour of horrific entertainment I went to sleep and I never go to sleep during movies. I felt better before I watched it then after. The only good thing about it was Natalie Portman played pretty music and dressed cute. Aside from that.... NO THANKS!!!!
Dan in Real Life, thank you Andrea I had to watch it and I had a good time. Oh man I about peed my pants when he was stretching his hand after his gruelling(sp) workout. Oh so funny.

Scary life

Daniel is going in to the Air Force in which you know. It all feels very strange because we own our home which needs to be sold. A realitor is coming out tonight to assess the situation and it all feels so foreign, but then again it was foreign to buy a house. It's just bizarre we don't even know for sure when or whereor even what for that matter. What if (you can't live on them , I know I know) for some freak reason he breaks his leg or who knows and our future changes whouldn't it be nice to still have our home. Oh mercy this is wierd. I preach that I LOVE change and such but boys and girls Im a new settled down woman, we will have to just see, life is good I am not terribly concerned. WE without a doubt know that this is the right thing for our family. So cheers!

TAX time = GOOD time

Oh the joys of tax time. So as some may know I work at Wells Fargo! I have endless opportunities to obsess (if you will) over my account. But it's my cure for my previous problems of my youth and "overdrafts". Anyway i was on my account I am just scrolling through and I see that a deposit was made from the Us treasury --- and my eyes pan over oh yes $7.00 was deposited today. Yeah for taxes it may be hard for me not to want to go crazy and pay off all of our debt with this... I will just have to refrain!!! Don't get me wrong this $7.00 will come in handy and had we not gotten them done with my mom we were going to go with a "tax specialist" which on average costs $238. We would then owe them $231. I don't call this a good deal. So thank you mommy for our seven dollars.

SNOWY HELL

This is not outside my place but I did wake up this morning to the ground covered in fresh snow. Yeah see it's the middle of March....soon to be spring and yet SNOW. SNOW Snow go away come again some other day. I'm not a fan.. Texas couldn't come soon enough!

No more pony

I cut my hair, My old beauty school days freind came to visit/ pick up her car from Idaho and convenently stayed with me. Anywho my hair is cut oh is it cut, it's all sorts of thinned out and cut to above my shoulders with it a little funky! I love talent something about it. Not dogging (do people still say that?) on my husband he does a fabulous job, I always have him cut my hair for me. It's easier and a whole lot cheaper. Either way I love it.. a girl I work with calls my cut "fierce" which is ANTP (Americas Next Top Model ) style. So I guess I look fierce, thats nice.

Work....

So there is always something or someone that makes work interesting, the "throat clearing guy" has gotten that a little under wraps, and Brittne and I are buds and I love that she is great. But there is a reason I only keep jobs for six months... I know shame shame who does that right? Well I get very bored and ready for the next adventure in life. Well i got my hair cut and that has been fun because I see the same 100 people everyday so I now have people to show my new hair to. and my monager moved me off the drive- thru (at a bank... not fast food) window to the lobby.....whoa hold the phones so much change I don't know what to do wiht myself!!! So all my guest freak out literally when they drive up and it's not me, which is good for the spirits. They may poo a little when I tell them I am moving. Oh to be loved!

No news is good news

So the Pence family came and stayed with us for 4 days, and a lot of begging and such had to go down to make that happen. But we are so glad it did. Can I just say though that was the hardest thing to come home to this empty house with kids toys all over, Kaels sock in the kitchen, formula strewn across the room, baby food in the fridge. Oh it was not easy for me... my sweet honey was trying to get home before I did to clean up so I wouldn't be reminded that they were gone. Sigh... So soon We will be there with them even if it is only crossing paths for maybe a month oh mercy me I can't wait!
