This is too funny!

What the Heck???!!

This is a headline from Fox News website:

Obama Lays Plans to Kill Expectations After Election Victory

This is kind of like - 'you know all those promises I've been making about changing everything? Well, I don't think I can change much, so don't expect much from me. Please vote for me anyway.'

GEEZ!!

Happy Birthday to me....

Since I made my own dinner and baked my own cake, I guess I can wish myself a happy birthday too.

What a lousy day.

Big Mistake

I will warn you now. If you are easily offended, please don't read this post.

A couple of weeks ago, I made a comment that will haunt me the rest of my life - possibly beyond my mortal life!

I decided it was a beautiful day outside, I didn't have any soccer games - so I was going to wash all the boys' sheets. This was a good idea - little did I know it could turn out so badly! I mentioned to the boys that new sheets for Christmas would be good to put on their lists. I had noticed that their fitted sheets were becoming very 'pilly'. Thinking that they wouldn't know what 'pilly' meant, I said, "I don't know how you can sleep on all those little balls every night."

With 5 boys - I bet you know where this went. They laughed hysterically at me, and now bring it up at all times.

Fall

I am really enjoying this time of year! I can finally watch the kids' soccer games without melting from the heat. I can quit watering the flowers (til next spring!). I can decorate with leaves and pumpkins and cinnamon scented candles. I also love Halloween - the jack-o-lanterns, the hay rides, the dances in our barn, the costumes, the witches and ghosts...... Kirsten changes her mind every day about what she wants to be for Halloween. I think she's decided on being a pirate/princess/flower/witch! I'll have to be creative with that costume.

I decided to use my clay pots for something Halloweenie - I'll post pictures soon.

20 Clay Pots

I have been very preoccupied for a couple of days. Tim and the boys have been working on 'things' and 'stuff' up in the tractor barn (which doesn't have any tractors in it right now because of the 'things' and 'stuff'). One of the boys brought a box down to me that had 3 full bags from AC Moore in it. Thinking I hit the crafting mother lode, I happily opened the bags. Guess what? Inside the box, in the bags, carefully wrapped up are 20 clay pots complete with 20 clay bases. What the heck was I going to make with 20 clay pots and bases? 20 Angels? 20 candles? 20 potted herbs in painted pots to give to friends? 20 bird houses?

Honestly, I have I no idea - I don't even remember buying the pots. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

(and stay tuned - you just might be surprised with a clay pot gift!)
