class reunion

my ten year class reunion is quickly approaching but i'm in a bit of a pickle well i wouldn't be but a certain someone likes to muddle up the simplest of things.
somehow i got roped into helping with the class reunion, of the school that i attended but didn't graduate from, and by roped in i mean i kind of got asked and kind of volunteered. the dilemma is that a certain someone is also in that class and doesn't want to me to attend the reunion that i am helping to plan. blah blah blah
so tonight i get a phone call from that certain someone asking me to be mature about this whole thing and stop planning, and gathering addresses and that i'm officially uninvited!
so anyhow the immature side of me really wants to tell him not to be so STUPID!
i can't seem to find the mature side of me.
so i guess what i'm asking is, what do you think?

a little mad

today we took a two hour drive to american falls to drop the children off because a certain someone asked for them this weekend. so we get there at 11:00 and he's not there. so we walk around KING's for a few minutes then I decided i better send him a text to see how long he's going to be.

long story short he told me today but then went to work this morning and wants them next week.

we had one sad little girl on our hands, little brother could careless.

so we went to ice cream, DI, came home and us girls painted our toe nails!

i'm so blessed to have an amazing husband and precious children!!

1. so accidents can be just that accidents!
2. so i wouldn't have replace doors that had holes punched in then from door stoppers
3. so when there is a scratch on the paint i don't cry
4. so the coloring on the walls wouldn't be so nerve racking
5. so a spill on the carpet doesn't result in a panic attach
6. so when we are dying easter eggs and spill the dye i don't spend half the night scrubbing the counter
7. so i don't feel like i need to replace every set of blinds in my home
8. so i can fix what needs to be fixed without feeling like i'm going to mess something up
9. so i can super glue the toilet lid and call it good
10. so i can sleep at night

strange sounds

i woke up this morning with little bit of a headache and as i lay in bed deciding if i should get up and exercise or go back to sleep for 30 minutes i could have swore i hear i high pitch beeping sound. so i went to investigate. i could only hear it in my room which told me it's not in my head! which well never mind. but i knew i heard something. i laid back down for about 10 minutes till my husbands alarm went off. i asked "love can you hear that sound?" of course he couldn't so i was doubting my sanity. finally i walked outside around the car to my neighbors house and sure enough the fire alarm was going off. okay i'm not crazy but i am clumsy because as i walked back around the car to get inside i slipped in the ice and fell flat!

GOOD MORNING!!

Hello 2009!!

Dear 2009,
Hi like you can plainly see above I'm freak'n hilarious which you will soon come to learn. i thought I'd let you know what has happened to me in 2008 and see where we can go from there.
January i grew as a mother, as my children were really starting to develop their individual personalities which really haven't subsided at all, only gotten bigger.
February was amazing the best valentines day by far. Having an amazing husband does make a difference.
March was quite a roller coaster of a month but i know that through it all i learned that time is precious and to never take anyone for granted.
April's general conference was a first for me. for as long as I've been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints President Hinckley has been the prophet. it was an amazing spirit that was felt as president Monson took his place as the 16th president for The Church
May i had my first panic attack and truly morned the loss of a best friend
June loved being a stay at home mom!!
July was packed full of crazy fun!! Girls camp, crazy dreams, morning sickness, county fair, new calling in Young Women's
August summer school ends, a week to play, school starts, J got married!! oh yes and potty training adventures
September was fun, stressful, new, frustrating!!
October My love and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Twin Falls Temple. I love that families are forever!!
November was kind of a blur
December was here and now it's gone
how quickly the year goes by and how much I've learned.
So 2009 i guess all i ask is that you're kind, know that i can tough it out but would rather be able to fill my blog with happy hilarious posts
Welcome 2009!!
respectfully,
The Nice One
