Indeed.

You would think because I go so long between blog posts that I’m very very busy.

 

Yeah, not true. I’m just embarrassed that my last post was a catalog of all the crap in my purse.

 

Well, it’s a little true. We’ve been a little busy. Busy playing in the kiddie pool. Busy with popsicles and watching Despicable Me 1,871 times in a single week. Busy reading (and reading and reading, and sometimes reading when I should very well be doing other things). I’ve tried to start a couple posts from my phone but that doesn’t seem to be working. I get a paragraph in and get sidetracked, and I’m pretty sure you don’t care that It’s Thursday! Especially when it’s the following Tuesday by the time I try again.

 

I don’t do Twitter, but I can’t seem to write anything longer than a facebook status. So here’s some facebook statuses (statii?)

 

-          Need a laugh? I forgot to pack socks in my gym bad and brought pj pants instead of yoga pants. Whoops!

-          It’s amazing how satisfying those nine minutes of sleep after hitting snooze can be.

-          So tired. Really need to stop bringing books to bed with me. I am not someone who falls asleep reading.

-          Just caught myself singing along with Taylor Swift. And then Katy Perry.

-          I should not make the guacamole before the rest of the meal. At this rate it will be gone before the enchiladas make it to the table (and I’m the only one sampling).

-          Me: I have the cutest little boys ever. Spencer: I have the cutest girl and boy that are taller than me and the girl is thirty-one and the boy is thirty-two and that is my mommy and daddy.

-          Hubby: Spencer, stop playing with your pee pee. Spencer: I need to shake it.

 

We’ve been putting the boys to bed at the SAME time in the SAME room and it’s going marvelously. I’m amazed, but they whisper to each other and then just go to sleep. Early, even!

 

A good friend is in town this weekend, and I’m having a cookout for him. You hear that, rain? STAY AWAY! I’m excited, and I’m making grape salad. Good god, grape salad. Yum! Along with ribs, burgers, guacamole, and jalapeno popper dip. And cut up watermelon. I’m very excited. I should get to the store. Or clean, or something!

Hubs has been working until 6pm every night this week, and rather than being exasperated about having the kids by myself while I try to get things done and dinner done, etc etc, I've been embracing it. I cleaned the garage one day, and gave them popsicles one day, and tonight it's raining so S is playing sports games on the Wii and H is watching "All About Monster Trucks" on Netflix. And farting and then saying "mama, ewww".

 

I have nothing else. I’m pissed that Nick got kicked off Around the World in 80 Plates (I’m friends with his brother, so I feel like I know him). I’m ho-hum about So You Think You Can Dance, and I’m faithfully watching baseball while I read.
