Sleeping children....
What is it about a sleeping child that makes them seem so sweet and innocent? How about a sleeping puppy? Is it the expressionless face that isn't screaming and crying because they can't have a piece of cheese (because there is no more cheese in the fridge)? Or is it that they are quiet and you can finally stand back and enjoy your little one without a headache? LOL!
I've discovered that children and puppies are similar when they are sleeping. They aren't making a sound, they aren't tearing things up, they aren't demanding your undying attention and they just look peaceful and QUIET!
Our puppy is about 5 months old (we don't know for sure because he was a stray) and he's slowing going into his "terrible twos". Combine him with a human toddler, throw in an 11 yr old and a 7yr old, and watch my house explode with chaos. Then in walks daddy after a long day of work and an hour's drive home, while you're trying to cook dinner, making sure the older girls have their homework done, yelling for the dog to get down off the kitchen table and listening to the toddler letting you know (very loudly) that her favorite tv show went off. Then, you proceed to give the daddy your infamous look from hell when he asks what's for dinner.
Well, that's how most of my evenings turn out. After dinner, it's a rush to get everyone bathed and clothes laid out for the next day. Bedtimes for the kids start at 7pm and run up to 9pm. Finally, at 9pm you are child-free... only to realize that you're too tired to watch tv, read a book, edit your own book, or show any interest in the hubby whatsoever.
The bed is calling your name and your contacts are blurring from exhaustion. You crawl into bed, find just that perfect, confortable spot and then the hubby starts poking at you. You know what he wants, but you're too damn tired for his bullshit. So what do you do?
I tell him to screw off and I go to sleep! LOL! The poor, deprived man. LOL!
Anyway, what was I talk about? Oh yes, sleeping children and puppies. Yes, when they are sleeping they are peaceful and quiet. When they are sleeping YOU can sleep. When they are sleeping you can actually think straight... unless you're too tired by the time they go to sleep. LOL!
Ok, ok, I know. This entry is nothing but my rambling. But, I have to ramble somewhere. LOL! I promise tomorrow's entry will be a little more interesting. Tomorrow will be my Thursday's Thirteen post and the theme will be "13 Things That I DO". So check back tomorrow and see if I do anything interesting. LOL!

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl!
Today is my youngest daughter's 3rd birthday. I can't believe that she is already three. Where did my baby go? *sniff* She is most likely my last child (she's the third), so it makes me a little sad that there won't be anymore babies in the house.
Here is a picture of the two of us from her birthday party this past Sunday.
Here's the hubby & his doll.
And here's our sweetie at only 1 day old.
On a separate note, the hubby's truck is dead. It conked out yesterday morning and I ended up having to go rescue him from sitting in it all alone an hour away from home. LOL. We had to have it towed home and now it's sitting in the driveway begging for me to unload a couple of shotgun rounds into it. LOL! I despise that awful thing and can't wait to see it being towed away from our house forever.
So now, we're in search of the next vehicle that he can abuse. I've set my foot down and told him NO MORE giant trucks. He will get something small this time... preferrably a car. He has finally agreed that we need to be more budget-friendly when it comes to these awful gas prices.
We spent hours yesterday driving around looking at vehicles and... nothing. So now, I have to go do some more looking before he comes home from work. Since he's working until 5:30pm everyday, even if we find something we won't be able to buy it until the weekend.
So, wish us luck! Hopefully we can find something sensible for a low price.
Happy Birthday, Kaitlyn!!!
