Thoughts on a Thursday

I drink hot jello when I am sick.  I recommend the following flavors if you're interested in trying it: cherry, orange, or peach.  Hot Jello is especially delicious and potent when you have a sore throat, or are achey all over from a fever.

Strawberry Awake (Great Value, Wal-Mart brand) is my new favorite cereal.  Although, strangely enough I would like it better without the strawberries.

I'm pretty sure Hallie is a somnambulator (sleep-walker).  In the past few weeks she has gotten up in the middle of the night, and when we ask for an explanation of why she has gotten up, she has given the following responses, and said nothing else:
"I... I... I need... I just need... I need a triangle."
while sobbing uncontrollably: "Read this to me."  She was holding "To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street".
"um. um. um"

I got a hair cut that I don't know how to style - it reminds me of the time Devin and I bought a car with manual transmission that neither of us knew how to drive. That worked out ok, so I am hopeful.

Hallie has impetigo, Hanna has a nasty little cold, I have achey fever/sore throat/headache, and Devin is coming down with something, full review of symptoms to come as they develop.  Heather is the lone healthy person in the house, I guess she'll have to take care of us for a while.  Or should I put her in a bubble?

Along with my hair cut I am looking for a new makeup look, a full on makeover for me!  It's spring and I just had a baby, feels appropriate, don't you think?

The yellow winged blackbirds are back in full force in my backyard, and I love them dearly.  I am so sad that Devin hates them passionately, on account of their trying to kill him in Iowa. So, that's legitimate.

Devin has to go to Wisconsin in a few weeks, and we're going with him!  Tell me, what are the must see hot spots up in WI?

Devin and I watched a PBS special last night on Steve Jobs.  He said, and I paraphrase, "What you have to learn is to poke life and see what pops out.  Once you know that - that's the most important thing."  My question is, how exactly do you poke life?  I'm just wondering because I don't think I'd hate being a  billionaire.  I mean, changing the world.

More people have come to my blog via a google search for "Elmo Emo" than any other way.  I did that search, and I can't find my blog, how did they?  And why are people doing a google search for an Emo Elmo?

If you do a Wikipedia search for Amy Rose, and I highly suggest you do, you'll understand why it is my dream someday to dress up as a pink hedgehog for Halloween.

AND, I hope you had a good Thursday too.

    If you are a pink hedgehog, Devin should be a blue one.

    First off, sorry your household is full of sickness. Let me know if I can help you out in any way. Secondly, I completely understand the need for a makeover after a baby... hence my hair being short now. Thanks for sharing these thoughts. I am totally going to try the jello idea next time I under the weather!

    Aww I almost felt like we were having a conversation. Thanks for your thoughts!

    All I can think of is remember that guy from Maine? How he did that voice? Wasn't it kind of emo elmo sounding?

    But I know what you've mean. I've tried to redo searches and find my blog. Some people must click through pages of hits before they decide to try my blog.

    I'd like pink hedge hogs, I'm sure. I've never played the game, but if I ever do ... I'll think of you in all your pinkness.
    You are beautiful hair cut or hair long. You can dye your hair with jello.

    Impetigo is really a horrible one. Thanks for the post.

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
