I Forted

That's a

FORT

not a 

FART

Christian is not feeling too well

So he slept most of the morning

And what better way to entertain the big boys

Than a fort

So we moved the couches and arranged the pillows

waa-laa

 It entertained them for about an hour

Long enough for me to get some Christmas cards addressed

RANDOMNESS

We have a double closet off of the dining room

Odd place I know

But it works

It's the shoe closet

We keep our coats there too

But it is referred to as the shoe closet

I make the boys take off their shoes as soon as we come in

They are great about it

My germ phobe makes me freak out about all the nastiness on the bottom of shoes

(I just got the chills)

We all have a bin

Except for Mark

He doesn't obey the rules

Your bin is for shoes, socks, a toy 

Gloves and hats in the winter

Anything you might need to grab as you head out the door

There are also hooks on the inside of the door

Hung low for little people

But for some reason 

It always looks like this

 Which causes me to turn into

CRAZY MOM

every time someone says

"I can't find my shoe"

GGRRRRR

Got this little diddy for my birthday

From bestie Amy

I love it

We are having a cold week here

The temp is actually not too bad

But the freaking wind

COLD WIND

bbrrrr

The boys and I have all been snotty

But each day we are better

So by week's end

We should be back to normal

Our elf flew in today

We named him Mickey

I hope this fellow does his job

Colton has taken to pooping his pants

Nothing can make you feel like a failure of a mom

like a potty trained kid deciding he's over it

He doesn't even want to wear undies anymore

He wants to wear a diaper

1 diaper

all day long

That's right

Full of pee

NICE

I am totally missing my job at the Barn

I find myself wanting everything now

Plus I miss my time away

Talking to women 

about womenly things

like decorating

Mark and I are on a diet

It's this 21 day cleanse thing

He does it a couple of times a year

For several years now

I have never participated because I have always been
Prego or Nursing
(shocker)
I am doing it more for weight loss
He does it as the cleanse
It is basically all fruits and vegies for 2 weeks
Then the last week you add in fish and chicken
I am doing pretty well
But I have had a diet coke
I need something
The really sad thing is
I have hit an all time high with my weight
Not counting prego time
Christian just turned 1
And I am back into some prego weight
I might as well be 4 months pregnant
I can't believe I am even writing this
My fat clothes are tight
So my goal is by Christmas
The fat clothes won't be tight anymore
Then I will go from there
I could give my right arm for a glass of wine


So there you have it

Better go find a new perch for Mickey
