FRIDAY FLUFF and STUFF

Fridays should be so relaxed and casual. Seriously 4 day weeks are all I can handle, but I am forced by society to trudge on just one more day. Some (Fri)days can be great (accomplishing a lot), but other days they may just as well be a pre-Saturday without the hubby.

Random Friday fluff ...

I heard some great retro music today. I totally admit to loving the 70's. On todays list was Neil Diamond. I love that I can sing his songs and know all the words without much thought. Do the lyrics make sense? ... not sure, but gosh darnit ... I KNOW THEM!!!!!!! Sweet Caroline or how 'bout Cracklin Rosie?

I assisted my husband in picking out his newest glasses. He is a bald man ... a very cute man. I showed up very quickly after his noon time appointment and helped him to decide which GLASSES (or "special eyes" as we call it in our house). WE went for a dark rimmed frame. At first I thought a dark rimmed top with an unrimmed, clear bottom. However, I just didn't thing that did my husband justice. The total dark frame drew me to his eyes and not his BALD head. Sorry dear ... cute head, but way sexier eyes. We decided on the dark frames ;)

Attending a 5:30-7:30pm party on a Friday night for a bunch of 5 and 6 year olds is just NUTS. Today I took my 5, 7, and 2.5 year old to a great play place while my 10 and 12 year old were at their swim practice (Dad picked them up). A party with wee ones on a Friday night is just too much for me (especially when they offer up SODA for these children). Friday nights for me involve PIZZA (no cooking) and some TV/computer time. Come 8pm I am really ready to send all 5 to bed. I do love my children, but Friday night is for ME (and the husband) ... so much that I really don't want to do reading. Can't Reading Rainbow on PBS do that?

IS FRIDAY OVER? Almost ...

John just got new glasses too. We ALL went with him. I have no idea how he ended up with the pairs he did...lol. It was crazazy (I picked up that word from reading too much TMZ).

I hate, hate parties where kids fill up on junk. That drives me bonkers.

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
