Here there and everywhere.......

I got a nice little gift yesterday for Mothers Day! My 4 year old threw up all over our car, my computer room, kitchen sink and all around the toilet! What a special gift...wink wink .  How come so much stuff can come out of such a tiny belly???   He started to feel better last night and he said "Mom I think my tummy is empty, I jumped up and down and couldn't hear anymore throw up inside!"    I was so relieved! Hee Hee
He also tried to plant a kiss on my lips which I kindly had to intercept with the top of my hand instead. Whew that was a close one!

So funny but my daughter might kill me for sharing...

At dinner tonight my 14 year old says" Mom last night Alyssa walked up to me and grabbed my boob, I yelled at her and asked her what she was thinking and she told me she just wanted to know what a boob felt like."    Man I laughed so hard I cried!  Can't blame her for wondering. She is only 7 you know. I'm glad for these moments that keep me laughing!

You really need some new shoes

As we were eating lunch today I asked Bry what he got me for Mothers Day? He thought about it and said " I'm going to get you some new girl Vans (shoes). Then you can run fast like me and you will be able to skateboard like the rest of the family."   Is that a big hint that I am slow and that I suck at skateboarding?  If I knew all it took were some 'girl Vans'  then I would have bought me some a long time ago. Wink wink ;)

None ya!

Today on our way to pick up some pics, Bryton could smell me eating Twizzlers bites. He asked me "Mom whatcha eating?"  I kiddingly replied "None ya" (None of your business) Then Bry said " Oh I love none yas, they are my favorite. Can I have one?"   Hee Hee  "I handed some back to him and he said "Oh these things, I always called them licorice, I didn't know they were none yas!"  I Love my 4 year old!

You with the addiction problem, raise your hand

Yes my name is Jodi and I do have an addiction problem. I love to blog! Crazy, maybe but it is so much fun! I always have my camera ready for blog post material. I made a goal at the first of the year to blog every day on my family blog. I have a little sign on my computer that reads Don't forget to Blog today! My hubby laughs at me since  I can't go to sleep until I have done a  post!

But my blog books are so worth all the time! I print my blog into a book every 6 months and call it our family yearbook. My kids love reading through each one and love remembering what we were doing at that time. I am awful at writing in a journal, so this is my way of doing it! Blurb is a great site to do your books. It slurps your entries into their program so its so easy to do. You can delete posts and add posts if you want to. You can also add more picture and more personal thoughts if you decide to.

I highly recommend blogging daily and making your book. Its so fun and you'll be thankful for your family yearbooks down the road! I decided to start my posts with We love.... Then I have to look for the good in each day!  Come on give it a try, I know you will thank me later! :)

Which way now?

Today after taking my 14 year old to school, my 4 year old told me he would tell me how to get home. So I  thought hey why not, I'm not in a hurry. I thought we would go on some wild adventure and end up who knows where but, he took us home? Wow I was really impressed. There are a lot of turns to get home and he knew all of them! I guess he pays better attention in the car then I thought!

He is so much fun to have in the car. He talks the entire time and says hilarious things. Today he said " Mom, Dad is gross. He has hair everywhere, I even saw hair up his nose.....ewwwww.  That's yucky huh mom."   I had to chuckle and tell him I agreed.

I remember my dad having hair on his toes and on his tummy and thinking I would never marry anyone that had hair in his nose. Hee Hee.

What did you do today?

After Kailee got home from school I ran down to the grocery store for some last minute items for our dinner that we were sharing with some friends. The kid that was bagging the groceries asked me "so what did you do today?"  I told him I was a stay at home mom and did mommy things all day. Well he looks at me like I was uninteresting and said "that must be nice to sit around all day."   What?????? I felt like taking out my boxing gloves (which i had forgotten at home) and giving him a good punch to his arm.

 I looked at him and said " I woke up this morning at 5:00. I made my husbands lunch for work, threw in some laundry, made a bottle, changed a diaper, got my 14 year old off to school, made breakfast for my youngest 5, got them dressed, did their hair, signed all homework logs, got them off to school, cleaned up breakfast, did dishes, changed the laundry, made beds, scrubbed the bathroom, got in the shower, played with my 2 youngest, vacuumed, swept, dusted, changed the laundry again, did bills, made lunch, made a bottle, changed another diaper, took out the garbage, edited photos, did another load of laundry, folded laundry and put it away, made after school snacks for the kids, got paints out for the kids and cleaned them up, and then I had to run here to the grocery store."  Whew, that was a lot to say. He just looked at me and said "Man I 'm glad I went to school today and didn't have your schedule!"   

Thank You my fine 15 year old, now go give your mom a hug and thank her for  "sitting around all day". 


I think I made him realize how busy moms really are!!

Deal or no deal

As I was cutting out coupons last night, I started wondering if coupons are worth it. I mean every time I use my coupons I spend sooo much more than I usually do. You end up buying all of your regular list plus 15 new things...... I know you can find good deals if you find the items on sale and then use your coupons on top of that but, I may just be too busy to do all the research on deals! For now I'll keep on clipping the coupons and see how long I can get my receipt to be.

Paint me a picture

Last night I was downstairs laying on my daughters bed with her having girl talk. As I was staring at the white ceiling above us, I thought how boring it looked. I think ceilings should be decorated and have glow in the dark art on it. 

Wouldn't this be fun to stare at late at night all tucked in to bed?

When Kovi and I lived in our first home that we bought, I decorated our ceiling. I used glow in the dark markers and had a hay day! I wrote funny messages about my hubby and drew pictures. I loved staring at it at night.  Well we ended up selling that house to my dad. He came to me after a few nights of living there and said "wow you really love Kovi don't you?" "I read about him every night before bed....."    I laughed so hard. Just what my dad wanted to read before bed. Hee Hee Hee.

      So if you decide to decorate your ceiling with thought about your hubby, make sure to paint over it before you move!!!

Ouch

Here's a random thought I had today.   I think it's so weird that whenever I have something that hurts I keep touching it and I don't leave it alone. Like if you have a canker and you keep rubbing it with your tongue or a hang nail and you keep touching even though it hurts.... Am I the only one?   I know a bit strange!
