In The Mind of A Thirtysomething Mom

Happy Thanksgiving

from our house to yours!

Have a blessed holiday!

Good News, Bad News

I'm having a hard time staying positive right now.  I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, and it's my own fault.  I need to step back and relax, but that's so much easier said than done.

In an effort to try to gain a better perspective on things, I feel the need to do a good news/bad news post.  Kick back and enjoy!

Bad News:  I've totally blown it when it comes to blogging lately.

Good News:  I still have people that visit my blog and read my drivel.  I'm so thankful for that.

______________________________________________________

Bad News:  I'm behind on posting reviews and giveaways on my other blog.

Good News:  I just posted a giveaway on Manicure Mommas.  I'll have another giveaway up on my review blog by Friday.

Good News: To follow up K's coloring on the tile by the front door as seen here, WD-40 got it up quickly (thanks Tara for the suggestion and the link!).

Bad News:  My entryway now smells like a car parts place.

Good News:  I'd rather that smell than the coloring, any day.

Bad News:  Mr. Frog's car blew up.  He said it made a growling noise and then just died.

Good News:  At least it's paid off.  We don't have to worry about making payments for a car that won't run.

Bad News:  There are only 37 days until Christmas.

Good News:  There are only 19 days until my birthday!

______________________________________________________

Bad News:  I'm a fan of one of the worst teams in the NFL

Good News:  They did a pretty good job of holding their own Sunday against an undefeated team.  I'll take what I can get.

______________________________________________________

Bad News:  I haven't had the time to really clean my house in the way I need to in months.

Good News:  I live in a home that has heat, electricity, and people who love me.

______________________________________________________

Bad News:  K needs more clothing for Winter.  M skipped the size that K is now, so I don't have much to hand down to her.

Good News:  My children are healthy and growing.  They have food in front of them, and love in their hearts.  She'll get more clothes for Christmas.

_______________________________________________________

Bad News:  I'm freaking out about family coming into town for Christmas.  I've got cleaning, decorating, cooking, baking, planning, and so much more to do.

Good News:  I've got family who are able and willing to visit for the holidays.

I have a better perspective now.  Thanks for listening!

HELP!!!!

I walk into the living room a minute ago, and K turns to me with this really pleased with herself look on her face and says, "Isn't it pretty momma?" while pointing at this:

Yes, that is crayon.

IN THREE different places.

On the tile.

By my front door.

Now HTHeck do I clean that????

Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

And she wonders why the crayons got taken away earlier this year.

I Lost

You wanna know what happens when you try to sneak a second serving of M&M's?

This is what happens:

Stupid attacking baking powder.

Suffice it to say, it hurts so much more than you'd think.  When the edge of the can hit my toe, I swear I saw stars.

And of course it's too cold to wear flip-flops.  Dang it.

Next Weekend

What will you be doing next weekend?

No I'm not talking about this coming weekend, I'm talking about next weekend.

The weekend of the 20th-22nd.

You know, the weekend.

Oh, you don't know?

Will this refresh your memory?

Will you be one of the ones standing in line waiting for the doors to open?

  Did you buy your tickets online 2 months ago so you would make sure you saw it on opening day?

  Will you be sporting a Team Edward or a Team Jacob shirt? (I'm a Jacob fan BTW; yeah get over it)

I won't be.

In fact, I won't even be near a theater.

Thanks to EventChaser, I'll be at Survivor Series in DC looking at this:

this,

this,

and possibly this,

*Le Sigh*

I'll catch up on the wolf/vamp stuff later.  I've got my priorities.  :)
