Seriously Fragmented...

Mommy's Idea

What time is it? 

It's time to fragment my brain. 

Click the button to visit Mrs. 4444, and fragment yourself as well. 

Really, you'll feel better.

~~~~~~

Both kids are supposed to be going to their father's this weekend for their visit.  That gives me exactly 3.5 hours to squeeze in the new Twilight movie.  And, a whole bucket of popcorn.  Fingers crossed!

~~~~~~

I am so tired of Sarah Palin.  Doesn't she have something to do, like look at out her kitchen window or something? Really, she needs a full time job.

~~~~~

I just discovered Thundercats is still on TV.  It's a bit pathetic that I was so excited about this.  Even more so when Oldest decided he'd rather watch the Disney channel.  Evidently around here, it's now "Thundercats...NO!"

~~~~~

The chore chips are working out so well I'm thinking about bonus "Dealer Chips" for extra big tasks.  Yip.  I'm totally riding this wave.  I haven't touched the litter box in a week.

~~~~~

Youngest's blog writing experiment has blossomed into a blog for his entire class.  He thinks it's pretty cool, but wants to retain his original blog since he picked it all out himself.  He also likes the privacy of it, and I must admit, so do I.  Writing is an insecurity for him, and I know he'd rather not have everyone in class reading and commenting on it.

~~~~~~

So, provided the weather holds out, the roof's going on on Monday.  The backdoor will go in on Saturday.  At some point, we will start ripping out the walls of the sun room, removing the insulation, and  re-drywalling the walls.

I am so glad I decided against having Thanksgiving here.

~~~~~~

We're borrowing people from other offices this week to get us through the rough patch at work.  The other senior substitute carrier is out until December 1st.  I'm going in at 7 tomorrow.  Yeah.  It's gonna be a fun week.

~~~~~~

The outdoor Christmas decorations go up this weekend.  I'm actually feeling like I may need some new ones as well, so a trip to Target may be in order.  One thing is for sure, if it doesn't go up this weekend, it's not happening.  'Cuz baby, it's cold outside.

~~~~~~

OK.

 That seems to be all I have at the moment. 

Subject to change, at a seconds notice.

Thundercats....HOoooooo!

12 Survival Tips:

  1. Little Chick is taking me to her parents' house for Thanksgiving. Isn't that nice? I haven't cooked an entire T-giving dinner in years. I'm taking a pie. I think your chore chips are brilliant. You should send that idea to a parenting or women's magazine that pays a few $ for good ideas. I can't have outdoor decorations because I can't be bothered. Such an easy way to solve a problem. I've been tired of Sarah Palin since about two minutes after I first saw her. She didn't even finish her term in office as governor. How could anyone be silly enough to consider her a viable candidate for anything except Sewer Chief?

    Love,
    Lola

  2. I would suffer through with the decorations you have this year, save the money & then splurge like crazy at the after Christmas sales. I get more great stuff that way.

    Sorry to hear you are so busy this early. Wow people sure don't procrastinate.

  3. Sarah Palin needs to be the gifted mom she claims to be by staying home and quiet.

  5. I hope you get to see the Twilight movie. I am going on Tuesday. We must compare notes...(I am a cougar for that cute Vampire...damn he is FINE)

    I am looking forward to the holiday cheer. (not)

    Sarah Palin, her voice is like fingernails on a chalk board.

    I hope your sons have a nice time with their Dad. They are lucky to have YOU as a Mom.

    Good luck with your roof.

    I am at work, and bored. Can you tell?

  6. I'm in shorts again today. Fall? Winter? Hopefully it will get below 80 soon so I can wear a sweater.

    A new roof - you have no idea how jealous I am of that.

  7. I'm using your new roof explanation as an excuse to NOT have Thanksgiving at my house. thanks for the inspiration!

  9. We are seeing Christmas lights going up around our neighbourhood. Unlike you however, the weather is getting warmer so it is really pleasant as it gets closer to Christmas to stroll around the streets admiring them.
    We however don't do the light thing. Hubby has consented to a few out the back under the patio near the pool lol

  10. Oh Gawd! Let's hope Sarah Palin doesn't start a "mommy" blog.
    I think I need chore chips! It's strangely warm here...humid...yuck.
    My kitchen might not be finished in time for Thanksgiving.
    Boo Hoo.

  11. I'm always fragmented. It's not a challenge for me to write fragments... I have more trouble remaining coherent.

    One of 'your' motorcycles got broken this week. The little boy who broke it by accidentally stepping on it was tearful and embarrassed, but he brought it to me anyway, his wish to be honest was stronger than anything else.

    And I praised him for his honesty and told him that things get broken sometimes, and that it's okay.

    Then I told him about where the motorcycle came from.

    And he said, "Now that's a nice lady."

  12. I had to look up the Thundercats thing. You watched that as a child? I'm tired of Palin and everyone like her too.
