it's been a while

while its been some time since i have blogged, i have been ultra busy! so , let me just take a moment to catch up before i get in to what i am blogging about. first, bryson is still getting into everything and then some and i am still loving my new job! i seriously have one of the best bosses ever and that alone makes any job worth going to. the girls at work and i decided we are goin to try to lose some poundage and hopefully some inchage (yeah, i made those up) so along side trying to eat better Travis and myself have been riding bikes with the kids @ the 'hood. its been 14 years since i rode a bike! and i will just go ahead and tell ya.... my butt hurts! i've got more cushion back there now so why don't i remember my butt hurting when i was a kid? anyhoo, life is great and i am making some positive changes that i hope i can divulge soon!

bryson's latest

well, last week was rather adventurous. to say the very least. you might had read previously where bryson tried to flood half of the house the week before. well, last friday as he laid down for his afternoon nap i decided that i would go ahead and shower. bryson lets me know he is indeed awake when he comes in the bathroom and is eating a sucker that he had to climb on the counter to get. (mind you travis is out of town. ) so i finish up and explain to bryson that he is not allowed to get things without asking. i had a sitter coming over to watch the kids while i went to work so i was going to order pizza. as i pick up my home phone it is pouring out; literally, liquid that is sticky. i am a little confused so i pick up my cell phone. it too was soaking wet. neither of them would turn on! as i notice what was my glass of diet coke on the table bryson announces speed boats mommy!! i realize then that he had turned the phones into boats! as i had previously found his little adventurous side funny and humorous.... this day i did not!! he did get a lil' spankin. so i was without any kind of phone!! i had to run to walmart and get a cheap phone to do until...and sat. i had to go and see if my cell phone was repairable. as it turns out neither of my phones were repairable and over $300 later i have new phones! my info in my phone could not be switched over either. so if i haven't been calling you don't take it personally as i don't have your #.

tag~ i'm it!

so, sarah tagged me, i guess that means it's my turn to tell 6 things about myself that you may or may not know.


1. i guess first things first. i really don't have a clue when it comes to blogging. i am new at it and i probably won't even do all this "tagging" right.


2. i have a favorite past time that some find very weird and some have said that hmm...maybe they would try it. and that is on any given afternoon or evening after a long hard day you very well may find me snuggled up on my bathroom floor w/a pillow and my hairdryer going and yes it must be blowing on me. i especially like to do this when it is cold outside. i find it to be great heat therapy; which is what we call it at my house. so, if you were to call & my kids say sorry my mom is busy she is doing her heat therapy, you'll know what they are talking about. btw } sometimes we make this a family time event and we will all get a book, pile up in my bathroom floor, and just relax with the hairdryer going.


3. now that you are totally freaked out by #2 i'm sure you're wanting to know what else is to this weirdo ?>? well, i really want a dog. like real bad. the only thing is i don't have the time right now to invest into an animal. heck, i am trying to get my 2 1/2 yr. old to use the potty. i don't have the energy to try and house train a dog too. when i do get the time i want a weimaraner.


4. i support our troops and i believe the war is necessary. i believe that America is a blessed country but i also believe that people have corrupted it by taking God out of our schools and our courtrooms.


5. if i could do anything career wise that i wanted to be it would be a forensic photographer for the FBI. maybe when i grow up that's what I'll be.


6. i would like to lose about 30 more lbs. and then go have liposuction on just about every area of my body and have a booty lift and some jugs installed.



so. now maybe you learned 6 new things about me. now it is my turn to do some tagging. i am tagging:

rainboots anyone?!?!?!

okay. so today has been a little bit of an adventure.... to say the least. as i am awakened by my angelic, innocent, loving and ever so cute 3 yr. old son, bryson this morning, i hear what sounds like running water.......

Travis has been working nights but i thought, "why would he be taking a shower in the kids bathroom?" all the while bryson is telling me to "mere." which in his lingo means come here. i get to noticing that bryson is shimmering w/ glitter and then i get that panicky feeling. i jump out of bed, literally. as i come to the hallway i am looking at standing water. ummm, if were to guess i would say at least 4in. deep. not only is it in the hallway, it is in the bathroom and in the girls room! we have hardwood floors but i am immediately thinking omg my floors are going to be ruined and mind you water is still running full blast.

bryson had pulled a stool over to the sink and pulled up the stopper and turned on the water. i don't know i guess he thought since i was asleep he would just swim in the bathroom instead of me taking him outside to get in the pool. so i turn the water off and call my mom n law frantically and she tells me what i should do. it took 6 beach towels and the already soaked rug to get most of the water up. most of the stuff under the sink had to be thrown away. the girls floor is still wet (we don't have hardwoods in there). i had to get box fans to dry everything else out.

meanwhile bryson had to sit in time out and got a little lecture about playing in the water! i did find it all kind of funny and a little amusing. he's so cute. it's hard to get mad at him. i know you're wondering where i was during his playtime. he usually comes straight to my room when he wakes up if he gets up before me but not today and i never heard him! I'm not a heavy sleeper. i just have a very sneaky, curious 3 yr. old who loves adventure.

since you brought it up.....

do you think that it is wrong to flash your lights at on-coming to traffic to warn them of a speed trap ahead? while i know this is against the law, i don't find any harm or wrong in it. now, if someone were barreling past me going way over the speed limit i probably would not flash my lights at them. but for the " just 5 mph or so over kind of people, i would. i think that they should be warned to slow down. not that they are driving reckless or anything just going a few miles over the speed limit. i would like to be warned!
so i will just tell ya: i m a flasher. i will 9 times out 10 flash my lights to warn others of a speed trap.
i just want to know who else does this? or does not?!?
