Crazay Monday!

The hubby is sick. :( He wasn't feeling good yesterday and was kind of useless. He has strangely been under the normal human body temp. We have this thermometer that turns green if you are a normal temp, yellow if you should stay home, and red if you should go to the hospital. His weird temp freaks it out and it doesn't know what to do! So he took some nightime sudafed stuff to help him sleep. I didn't tell him it only works for four hours hoping he would be able to sleep through the night. He didn't wake up miserable in the middle of the night so that is good. When the alarm went off I got the thermometer and brought it to him in bed. Hoping it would turn a color. Nope, cause he is a freak. Tried to take it again and he lit it up with his phone. Since he was still reptile temp I told his butt to get to work!

He must have really been not feeling good cause before I got there, an hour later, he had already left. Which means more work for me! So it has been kind of crazy! Plus having days off last week and the end of the month!

He used his sick time wisely by sleeping, chasing the bunny around the house, and creating the most random Christmas list ever! Maybe it will be tomorrows post! Oh! And his birthday is Wednesday! I need help coming up with a gift idea! What are some good wii games?

Can't remember what else I was going to tell you guys. Creepy weirdo visiting our warehouse for some reason told me I was gorgeous. That is always fun when you worry about a work stalker!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Didn't want to depress you with mine! xoxo!

Lyrical Friday

*actual wedding picture. My Dad twirling me like he has always done. Love this pic!

For this edition of Lyrical Friday I have chose the lyrics to the song I danced to with my dad at my wedding! Jessica Simpson's You Don't Have to Let Go. Tear!

I don't need your strength anymore
cause you've made me strong
You may not see the woman in me
That you dreamed of
Holding me in your arms


All the days that you gave
All the moments you've saved me,
Praying for my life
Sacrificed, just to make me who I am on my own

You don't have to let go
You don't say it
But it's in your eyes
All the fears of good-bye
But I can promise
You'll always have a place, and a way to my heart

All the days that you gave
All the moments you've saved me,
Praying for my life
Sacrificed, just to make me who I am on my own

You don't have to let go
I can live
Cause you lived for me
And I can love
Because you loved me.

All the days that you gave
All the moments you've saved me,
Praying for my life
Sacrificed, just to make me who I am on my own
You don't have to let go(Ooh ooh ooh)You don't have to let go

So random I don't even do my random thoughts on the same day as everyone else!

*This is a picture of the top contender for the bridesmaid dress I will have to wear in June. We haven't tried it on or found out the price, but I like it! What do you guys think?

*What do you wear on Thanksgiving when it is going to be 77 degrees?!

*My brother-in-law proposed to his wonderful, hilarious, caring girlfriend recently. I am getting a sister! Kind of glad they are just enjoying being engaged for now and the wedding might not be for a year or so. I feel like these weddings are happening non-stop!

*Work with the Hubby is going great! I am sure there are a lot of people out there that wouldn't want to work with the person you live with, but some how we are making it work! It hasn't really been hard at all.

*Found out today I get Friday off too! Poor Hubby has to come in though!

*Excited for Thanksgiving with friends and football and I am grateful for everything in my life!!!

*I realized today that I stold the frog (blog friends) thing from Jen at Jen's Voice. They are both funny and I am blonde!

*It is on on my frogs' birthday tomorrow! Yes Thanksgiving! She is roll on the floor funny! Check her out and let her know where you heard about her! http://www.martinisordiapergenies.com/

Oprah!

*Oprah, I know this is kind of a crazy pic of you, but please be glad I didn't do the no make up picture. Its too scary and people wouldn't even know what the heck this post was about.

Well frogs (again I stole it from Stacie at Stacie's Madness -I would link if I knew what the crap mr. linky was or how to use it), I haven't seen very much upset over Oprah's announcement, but I am super bummed about it! If you aren't, or don't care, read yesterdays post, I specifically asked for advice people and received none!

Oprah is leaving me! She is like a second mother to me. I was a latch key kid growing up and Oprah and Days of our Lives kept me company while I "did my homework". My life will be a little more empty without her. Who will tell me about diets I won't do? Who will tell me about stuff I can't afford? About books I won't read? Shows I won't watch? Who will tell me weird stories that disturb me life? Who will tell me I shouldn't let the hubby look down there when the baby is coming out cause it will mess him up forever? Who will introduce me to people like Phil and Oz? Who will tell my daughter these things?

I know there are rumors that she is just moving to her own network. When she made her announcement, she did not mention it. She sounded like she was done. So I am going to cherish every crazy last moment with her. Because lets get real people, my cable probably won't have this new channel she is creating and I am not going to pay for that.

Are you my mommy?

I am reading the first book in the Thomas Kinkade series, Cape Light. It is due back at the library Saturday so I wanted to get a lot read last night. We went to the gym but I just rode the bike and read. Then while Hubby was cooking dinner I read.

It was taco night last night and I always help with the rice. He has been asking me to help with dinner almost every day this week. One of the days I got him to help with dishes too, since I helped with dinner. Last night I helped with the rice and he didn’t even have to ask. Around 8:30 he asked me to if I was going to do the dishes or something else, and I told him I would in a few more pages. He got frustrated and started cleaning the kitchen up. I was frustrated that he was frustrated. I got to the place in my book where I wanted to stop and finished up the kitchen. After a little while of not talking, I apologized for reading. It was kind of a half apology. I don’t think reading is something I should apologize for. I don’t know why he doesn’t understand reading. His mother reads but I don’t know if she did as much when they were growing up, or even when she finds time to do it.

She is a great mom. She is an amazing cook. She even made their baby food. They never went to fast food restaurants. She keeps the house really clean. Does laundry all the time. She sets a high standard for me. I hope to be like her.

Anyways, he apologized for being frustrated and said he feels like he is the house wife. He also said that when we have kids I will have to do the cooking. He doesn’t want the kids to think of him as a motherly figure! I told him I don’t think he needs to worry about that. Plus it is 2009! The reason he took over cooking was he was driving me crazy nit picking everything I did while I was cooking. I told him if he was going to hover and criticize, then he could do it. We also had to divvy up labor since I was cooking and doing dishes.

We talked about it and I don’t have a problem doing some of the cooking that I can do. Of course he would have to be watching the children so he wouldn’t be able to hover. But as I lay in the bed thinking about what makes a person a father figure or a mother figure I thought: he will be a father figure because he will teach them all about sports and play catch with them. I will take them shopping and teach them how to dress and do girly stuff if we have a girl.

What do you think defines the father or mother roles?

Thanksgiving to be remembered

I was so excited Mama Kat had a writers workshop today cause I needed some inspiration! Here it is:

A Thanksgiving to be remembered...
Last year was a Thanksgiving to be remembered! I was a substitute teacher at the time so I got the week off and was able to go home to be with my family. My parents and I, my two cousins and their husbands all gathered at my aunt and uncle’s house.

One of my cousins was pregnant! We were all so excited. We looked at pictures of the sonogram. Talked about what his name was going to be. Took pictures with her and the belly. Felt him kick.

Then, as tradition states we must do, we went around the table saying what we were thankful for. I can’t remember if anyone went before me but I started us down the memorable part. I said, “I am thankful for Conner”. I was being serious! I was so excited for him to arrive! A couple people said some stuff I don’t remember now. Then my cousin that was pregnant said, “I am thankful for my husband’s sperm”. I think she was trying to go along the same line as me and was kind of being silly. But she usually says stuff like this. I’ve got another one coming in a little bit. Now I have to give you a little back story. One of my cousins’ husbands works for my uncle. I think after my cousin said she was thankful for her husband’s sperm he might have said something about his sperm too. We were all having a great laugh. Then, it was my uncle’s turn. He started to say, “I am thankful for my son-in-law…” I started dying laughing because I thought he was going to say sperm! But he was going to say something about his son-in-law that works for him!

Anyways, my family is so funny. We always have pee in your pants funny moments when we are together. Seriously, we have them written in some scrapbooks.

Oh wait, you wanted to hear the other funny comment! Now this was a comment my cousin made earlier when she found out she was having a boy. But the story was told again that Thanksgiving night. She was thinking about how strange it was to be having a boy and she said, “I have a penis inside me!” Of course my hilarious aunt said, “Well isn’t that how you got in this situation in the first place?”

Did you like my story? Sorry if my Thanksgiving story didn’t quite warm your heart. It warms mine!

Picture Obesession!

Hello! I feel like I have been super absent from blogging lately. I told myself blogging at work wasn't being a "great" receptionist. Thanks Suze Orman on Oprah for making me try to be great at something! Anyways, I told myself I would blog at home, don't want to leave you all without me! Blogging at home didn't happen! We moved, everything is still not ready for the apartment warming party on Sunday. We got our professional pictures from the wedding! I am obsessed with all 594 of them! I put them on my computer at work and just watch as they all flicker by. Anyways, my mom wants me to make her a scrapbook with pics from the wedding. We ordered christmas cards last night. People get them at Walmart! I haven't seen them yet but they were cheap!! Then I will have to pick out pictures for my album and scrapbook. Phew! So yeah, haven't had blogging on the brain. That is all I have got time for! Miss ya!
