Ah Crap.
So how vague can I be and still keep you engaged in this conversation?
I have had this issue that has BUGGED me over the last two weeks.
It has really brought out my not-so-nice side. (Yes, I do have this side.)
I don't want to share details but writing about it helps me move on.
So you decide when you want to stop reading and come back tomorrow for cute stories about the kids. ;)
So this issue centers around me being judged. No one likes to be judged, right? Especially when the rules aren't clear.
So when this happened to me - I jumped to judging everyone else but one person in particular. Now this person hadn't done anything wrong - in fact - I like this person. But what it boils down to and I finally admitted to myself today is that I think I am better.
Seriously, I can't believe that I think this because I think I am a nice, considerate, thoughtful person but in this situation - I don't think so. Now that I have admitted this to myself - I wondered if I portrayed that behavior. I am sure I come off as self righteous to some people some of the time. But really what I hope is that I come off as kind of a crank - but a helpful crank at my worst times and as a helpful, goofy, sarcastic nerd at my best times. But not self righteous. Ugh.
So I think I still need to have a conversation, at the very least with myself, to really look at what I want to do with my life and stop comparing what I am doing to what others are doing. Mainly because I don't know what they are doing and comparing myself to them isn't going to help me become a better person or work harder - I need to compare myself to a known and that is me.
Well - we made it to the end together. I am feeling better about this already. Thanks for sticking in there and listening to me. I am sure most of the people reading this post know what I am talking about already because I have had lengthy conversations with you (Mom/Dad) about this. :) I so appreciate both of you.
Take care of yourselves and remember not to take yourself too seriously because really we are only on this earth for a short time. So hug someone you love and tell them that you love them today.
Oh yeah. Wear Green today! It's my birthday!!

The clumsy klutzy things we do
Oh poor B.
She had a rough time at Festival today.
Festival is a local grocery that is actually a pretty nice store. They bag your groceries and have a pretty good selection of food.
B decided for some reason to go over to a display of Dr Pepper. It was 12 packs stacked up in a pyramid formation. I had my back to her and heard this noise and couldn't figure out what it was and my next thought was 'oh crap - where are my kids?'. I don't know how it happened but 6 of the 12 packs ended up out of formation and one of them tore apart and cans were rolling around. I was pretty sure we were going to have to pay for it - but a friendly Festival fellow came over with smiles and didn't say a word as he picked it up. (Needless to say - she got a bit of a talking to and was pretty upset about it.)
So then we were walking not 10 feet away and 5 minutes later, B grabs a container of grape tomatoes and knocks another container off the display. Container opens and sprays little round tomatoes in a 5 foot radius and we are all standing there shocked. MD starts to pick them up and decides that we do need to buy this mistake and B gets a talking to again. D - who is in the back of the cart - starts saying that Sis needs to sit in the cart with him just by coincidence but she wasn't going to do that.
The problem was that she almost tried to pull something off of the shelf again and didn't knock anything off but I was surprised she didn't learn her lesson.
We did get through the rest of the store without incident. Although the kids and I went out early and MD said he forgot he was supposed to pay until the bagger reminded him. Whoopsie!
Otherwise we had a wonderful day. New microwave in the kitchen. First one we have ever purchased new so I am excited!
P.S. Happy Daylight Saving Time!!

And we're back
MD is safely back at home and we immediately fit him into the night-time routine.
B is asleep and MD just informed me that we are headed that way as well.
I thought I would have more time to write but I am tired. So I will write more another time.
Night!

Blogging is so 2009
But I like to blog!
I like telling the world wide web and my nose is sore because I have rubbed a kleenex on it so much today.
Not much to add to that really.
I took some video of B and D singing at the top of their lungs.
But the computer I load the camera stuff onto was busy tonight so I will do that another time.
Crazy - crazy week.
Work review tomorrow.
Work on Saturday.
Ugh.
Happy Thursday - really?
I am so messed up on days.
