The baby egg that never was...

We have birds building nests on our RV so today Hubby took a nest down and their was a baby egg in it. I was so sad. So it was on the picnic table and the kids noticed it...they thought it was cool. They would hold the nest and try and follow birds yelling "here's your baby egg." So cute yet so sad. We didn't tell them that the baby egg will never come to be now. They asked after dinner, "can we go see if it is hatched now?" So we let them out side. A few moments later my daughter screams. Yep, she broke it. She was bawling and my boy was about to. The baby egg is gone now. :( They were over it though in about 2 minutes...but I'm still a little sad.

Until next time.

It was a nice idea in theory....

My son had a little program at school tonight. It was cute. He found me and sis in the audience and waved. So sweet. He sang and did all the motions. OH and then.

So being the nice mama that I am I thought we'd go to Mickey D's and get an ice cream cone. So we do. Now I'm holding on to two cones and the steering wheel trying to maneuver the corner out of the drive through. Not a good idea. Almost through the corner one of the cones top swirley plops onto the middle console right onto the 4 wheel drive shifter. As I pass a car parked by the drive though ( a witness ) I laugh like I find it funny...I didn't...but had to be in control in one way or the other. Soooo. I find a safe spot to park, grab some of the fallen icecream with my bare hand and plop it back on the cone and give it to sissy. She was satisfied. I then wipe what ice cream i can off with a napkin and take off (have to find a better spot to park) so then get down the road, ice cream on steering wheel, melting ice cream starting to drip down in between the seat and console. I pull over and get almost angry...I get my son his cookie and start cleaning up the mess. I do a pretty good job actually using only dry McDonald's napkins. I then drive home with a sticky steering wheel. Shortly into the rest of the ride home I begin to laugh at what that had to have looked like to the witness...I laugh now thinking about it...my face at the time was like "whoa.. whoa" not actually believing it would plop...then it did and I was perturbed over the wasted ice cream...mortified someone saw...embarrassed as they must have thought I was a dork for even trying it in the first place... Life Lesson...buy the 3 cookies for a buck instead.

In other news...I was snuggling on my couch this morning half in half out of reality with my doggy next to me. He gets up and makes a weird noise. In my daze I know it can't be a good noise. My eyes are drawn to a pile of mustard on the floor...oh but that is not mustard...it's doggy spit up. I quickly make him get into his crate where he proceeds to puke some more and step in it. So I start to clean up the carpet...we do have a small handheld steam cleaner and that works well although that yellow was pretty YELLOW and I could still see a hint of it. I then move to the cage and clean up what I can but his paw will have to wait. We have limited hot water and I still need a shower. So in the crate he stays. We did eventually get paw crate and all clean...My SIL says it's from eating grass...which he has been doing like it's going out of style lately so it makes sense.

The rest of the day went off without a hitch. BREAKING NEWS... This just in...heavy filtered coffee drinking found not on heart. Yeah!!! Keep them studies coming. How could something so good be bad? It can't. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

I really did just hear that on the news. Along with Oregon has the most breweries per capita than any other state. Our mountain water makes it so good...so they say. I also heard that my alma mater, among a couple others in Oregon, (high school) got some award from Sports Illustated having to do with steroid education...I'll have to check that out.

Well all I guess that is it for now. Have a wonderful Wed-nes-day!! Oh you know I will.

Blankety Blank Blank Blank....

Is my mind as I stare at this screen...

Rhinestone Cowboy flutters through my mind. Not the whole song just that lonely part. Why? Who knows?

Today was a GOOD day. And that is because I was in a good mood and got some things done. What makes a day good and a day bad in my life? Well it's when I get control of my attitude and make it submit to God then it's good. If I don't do that then a phone will probably get broken or toys thrown into the swamp lands (don't ask.)

But today I did. I got perturbed a I think 2 times but took a breath and talked to God...more like it's me having to submit to God than me submitting my attitude to him. Well probably both.

(just deleted a whole bunch I typed. Had you known what I typed you would think me deleting it was very ironic.)


One fun thing tonight is that my son helped me with dishes. He dried. He did very good and it was a real help. It was really cute too. He also wanted to take out the trash but he couldn't because it was too dark and too far away. Today we also played in the park with a new friend here at the RV park. He's only 2 but they all had fun. He has the same birthday as my daughter. The mom is nice and we chatted for a bit.

RV acres in the place to be...RV livin is the life for me.

And And And And That's all folks.

Free time...that's what I have at the moment!

So the kids are in bed...hubby is chatting on phone....oh free time interupted with child crying in bed...ok fixed that...what a crisis my son dropped his bunny on the side of the bed and he couldn't reach it. It was the end of the world but mommy saved the day (like normal).

My husband is diligently trying to study for his upcoming test. He's getting very nervous. The day is creeping up on him. I say trying because it's hard to study in a house (did I say house?) with 2 small children. And I tell him OVER and OVER...GET OUT OF THE HOUSE GO SOMEWHERE AND STUDY GO TO A COFFEESHOP OR SOMETHING AND GET SOME GOOD HOURS IN...but does he listen? No. So tomorrow me, the kids, and dog are getting out of here and spending the day at my moms and he is going to study...he's suppose to anyway.

So what else is new. Well my mom has a lifelong friend who suffered a stroke as a result of a surgery on an aneurism (sp?). She's up at OHSU but doing better. It was and still is quite serious but she is making progress. She is squeezing hands and trying to talk...so that is really good. We're praying for healing obviously but also no infections nor pneumonia...please pray with us for her to get well.

Yah so I've had nothing to write about lately. My mind is constipated. Ha ha. I think it's due to our transition. It's been a little chaotic in my own mind the past week or two so maybe that has effected my blogging. I have been journaling though in my personal journal. That is what I normally do especially when I need to work through emotional issues. So that has been more of my outlet lately.

As the move day approaches I get more nervous. I just keep praying for God's will to be done and if it's not His will then change things. It's easier for me to accept things when I'm confidant it's God's will. Sometimes I'm not so confidant and I'm nervous. This is something I'm just letting happen and trusting God will work through my husband and guide us.

To this point I have actually been excited about it and we even practically begged to go...but it's starting to materialize and it's weird. I keep tellin my hubby to expect me to "go through something" when we do get there. It will take a bit for me to adjust. I don't plan on being a pain but I know I will have some sort of reaction. Probably in the form of FREAKING OUT from time to time. Ha ha. My poor husband oh the things he's gone through with me. He's a champ.

Well I'm looking forward to the nice day tomorrow. Going to play play play. Just found out I don't have to take the dog tomorrow so that will actually be kind of nice because out of my moms he likes to wander and I can't relax as much because I have to make sure he doesn't go where he's not suppose to.

Have a great Sunday people.

Hi!

Not much to post. Just been doing life. Life in the RV is fine. Dishes are annoying but other than that it's OK.

My little niece that had the seizure...the first test, an MRI, is fine and they are doing another one, I think an EEG?, is on Monday. So please continue to pray. They have to stay up till midnight and then get up at 4am for the test...not fun stuff.

It's the weekend and I'm looking forward to it. I have a birthday party to attend tomorrow and then not much for the rest.

Also the last 2 day since we live at a campground we've had campfires and rosted marshmallows. The kids have loved it!!!

Sorry not much to report on this end but life is just going as normal.

xoxo
