Am I crazy?

 

I cannot get "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" out of my head.  Every time I think about a new post for the blog it pops into mind.  Every time I think about updating my Facebook status it pops into my mind.  Next thing you know, I'll start answering the telephone that way.  It is like the record in my brain is broken and it replays the same line over and over and over again.  

Let me see what I can do about that:

"This is the song that never ends.  It goes on and on my friends.  Someone started singing not knowing what it was.  And they'll continue singing it for ever just because.  This is the song that never ends.  It goes on and on my friends.  Someone started singing not knowing what it was.  And they'll continue singing it for ever just because."   - Nope brings back memories of Lamb Chop, which my preschool age sister watched while I was in high school.

"I love you.  You love me.  We're a happy family.  With a great big hug.  And a kiss from me to you.  Aren't you as happy as can be?" - NOOOOOOOOOOOO, not Barney!!!!!!!  Another flash back to a high schooler being tortured by a preschoolers choice of television shows.  Okay. . . . . . let's try this again. . . . .

"One bright day in the middle of the night.  Two dead boys got up to fight.  Back to back they faced each other.  Drew their swords and shot each other.  If you don't believe this lie is true.  Ask the blind man he saw it too."  - A bit better, learned that one from my BFF in grade school. 

"Have you ever gone fishing on a bright and sunny day?  With all the little fishies swimming up and down the bay?  With your hands in your pockets and your pockets in your pants?  And all the little fishies do the hoochie- coochie dance?"  - Oooooooo, 4-H camp and the kids' camps

"There's a raging sea.  Right in front of me.  Wants to pull me in.  Bring me to my knees.  So let the waters rise.  If you want them to.  I will follow You.  I will follow You.  I will follow You."  - chorus of a song by Mikeschair, good song!

Well I am not really getting anywhere am I?  So since I am coming up short with any ideas for a post.  How about you help me out?  What should my next post be about: food, kids, nature, books, recipes, pictures, etc. . . ?

A B C

Have you seen those nifty framed one word works of art in the stores?   The ones where they have found the letters hidden in architecture or nature.

" J. O. Y. "

" L. O. V. E. "

" P. E. A. C. E. "

" F. A. I. T. H. "

Those framed masterpieces have alway intrigued me. 

So off and on, I try to discover letters with my camera.

Here are some of my first attempts.  

I'm sure that with practice, I'll really rock it!

Another Question of the Day

Has anyone ever heard the saying "If you don't behave, I'll sell you to the gypsies."?  

I heard this statement quite often growing up.  Now it was not always directed to me, usually more my brother than my sister and I.  I am sure that it was said to instill the fear that "Oh No!  I better behave or my parents will get rid of me."  

Now why would I be thinking about this silly notion?  Because I REALLY want to scream that at my kids, BUT I don't think that they will understand one little bit.  

Most of the time they are angelic little angels, but ever once in a while they get a spur under their saddle and they turn into the most annoying and onrey children ever.  I think boys are more prone to this behavior than girls, at least during the younger years of life.

So I think I need to take a page from the new PBS show Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.

The Roar Song

"When you feel so mad that you want to ROAR.  

Just take a deep breathe and count to 4.

1 . . . . 2 . . . . 3 . . . . 4"

Highlights

We have been very busy lately. . . . .

Two Sunday's ago ~ church, a walk through the neighboring cemetery, visiting with my dad and grandma R, and singing Happy Birthday to grandma R.

Monday ~ jury duty and both kids to the dentist.  Pumpkin has two teeth that are starting to get wiggly.  Maybe he will lose his first tooth in a few months. 

Tuesday ~ woke up to Princess having an accident in her bed.  Family dinner night: Auntie and guy pal made some wonderful cheese toasties to go with yummy vegetable soup.  Hubby had about a 16-hour day at work.  
 
Wednesday ~ relieved to once again go to work and once again woke up to Princess having an accident at 2:30 a.m. (must be the cold weather). Pumpkin had a half day of school.

Thursday ~ no school for Pumpkin, jury duty, lunch glitch, amazingly kind office mate, purchased stuff for decorating at church potluck, and watched a favorite tv show.

Friday ~ yay, no more jury duty!  No school for Pumpkin.  Hung for a few hours with dad and grandma R.



Saturday ~ decorating for church potluck with kiddos, grocery shopping, went to a pumpkin patch with family, daddy & I got a flu shot.

Sunday ~ church, funeral, church potluck, made cheese soup, finally did some laundry

Today ~ no school for Pumpkin, rescheduled Princess's eye doctor appointment, and birthday dinner for grandma A

Whew!!!!!  Remembering made me so tired that I think I will go to bed now.
