A Bad Day

Yesterday I had a not so good day. Logan is in this HORRIBLE phase right now. He throws a temper tantrum for everything. Whining, crying, kicking.....you know. Or maybe you don't know. Just wait. If you haven't experienced that phase yet, you will. It is inevitable.

Yesterday it was one fit after another. So I say to the kids, "let's make cookies", because getting them involved in something and keeping them busy is always something that works. We make these AWESOME cookies, and have a lot of fun doing it. We all got really dirty (Sorry Katie. I really do try to keep Alexis clean!) and we go outside to eat our handiwork. So we gobble down these wonderfully delicious cookies, and I look down at the kids who are licking their fingers clean, trying to enjoy every last taste, and notice their faces are a mess! I said to them "Let's go inside and clean up". Now these two kids looked at each other, and just took off running. You have to know that we live on a corner, and occasionally cars do come barreling around it wildly, so it is always something that has scared me. I have had a talk with them about running into the street, but you know kids. So I get to Logan first, he's already in the street, and then Alexis (she got pretty far).

What is it about kids doing the opposite of what you tell them to do. When it endangers their lives, that's when it is not funny anymore. Those stinkers.

So anyway, I see Katie coming, and we run inside to wash up. She comes inside and I am all flustered. I totally forgot to wash myself, and after she left I looked in the mirror, and to my horror, I see a chocolate covered face staring back at me. HORRORS! How embarrassing!!

Baby News

This baby is sure moving around a lot lately. I can feel it bouncing around all over the place, which makes me worry that we are going to have another little Logan around. I was kind of hoping for a more mellow one this time. Oh well, I guess we'll take what we can get. Here's another little tidbit. I am already having Braxton Hicks. Sorry if I spelled it wrong. Anyway, it is WAY early for those.

p.s. Play the stupid test game at the bottom of my blog. Just scroll all the way down. It is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!

Glasses

Recently we had Logan fitted for new glasses. What do you think?

10 Random Facts About ME

1. I am very cautious about making friends, but once I make them I am severely loyal and will defend a friend to the end.

2. When I was younger my mom would dress my siblings and me up in these ridiculous costumes with these HUGE bow ties and make us perform Janeen Brady songs at the local fairs and summer camps around Portland. She was very critical of our performances and if we didn't perform to her standards then we wouldn't get any kind of reward (I can remember wanting a sucker SO BAD, but not getting one because I didn't sing loud enough).

3. I have hearing damage in both ears. I hate talking on the phone because it is really hard for me to hear a lot of things. That's why I say "what?" a lot.

4. I was kicked out of piano lessons when I was 12 or 13. My teacher was giving me music that I had heard lots of siblings play, so it wasn't hard for me to play it by ear. I guess she thought I should be reading the notes off the paper.....go figure.

5. You might as well know that I write music, but I will never let anyone other than Trevor hear it.

6. I cannot tell a lie. It is written all over my face if I do.

7. Here's a shocker....I was home schooled in high school. Yep, and I will NEVER home school any of my kids.

8. I can work on cars. I can change my oil, tires, whatever. I have changed a radiator by myself, and fixed the clutch linkage. I don't do it as much now that I have Trevor around, but just know that I can.

9. I am VERY stubborn. It really irritates me when I am told I can't do something, because I know I can do anything I want if I just think about it for a while. I can figure it out eventually.

10. I would like to visit Prince Edward Island someday

one of those days

Do you ever have one of those mornings where you just don't want to get out of bed, so you plan out how to make it possible to stay there as long as you can? "If I skip my shower, and brush my teeth while I'm driving, then I can sleep for an extra 20 minutes." Yeah, so this morning I was SO tired. Trevor was up practically all night writing a paper, and I find that it's hard to sleep when he's not in bed with me. So after "figuring out" how to stay in bed 20 minutes longer, I hear a knock at the door and of course I'm like "CRAP!" Of course I forgot to figure into the equation the Morgans coming early! Stupid me!!!!!!!

DUH!

Goodness Logan has been in a whiny, crabby, horrible mood lately. It just hit me today that maybe he is teething. So I look in his mouth and sure enough he has this HUGE molar coming in. Great. Just great. That's four teeth I have to look forward to.

I Figured It Out!!

Well, in case you didn't notice.....I finally figured out how to change my retarded background on this blog. HALLELUJAH! Yes it is a miracle. So it just goes to show you that with a little perseverance, and a LOT of wasted time, you can accomplish anything!

Why is it I have no problem updating my MYSPACE background, but I can't figure out how to do my BLOGSPOT background?!? It's enough to make me want to throw myself out of a moving truck! So you will all just have to look at my boring page until I can figure it out.

Boring Stuff

I don't know how you all can have such exciting things to post all the time. It seems like nothing is ever going on here. We are all so boring around this house. Poor Natalie had to eat my cooking the past two weeks. It was a little scary, and on more than one occasion we ended up eating somewhere besides home due to my lack of cooking abilities (I am so sorry about the lunchables!). It was a lot of fun having her here, and Logan made us go downstairs to look for her tonight. He didn't understand where she could have gone.

p.s. Bring on the FALL weather. I am sooooo hot lately!!
