- Every time we pass a certain area on our treks, Hailey has started saying, "naaaayyyy." I couldn't figure out why, but then I realized that there are horses really far off the road. Somehow she picked up on them, knew what they were, and recalled their sound. Wow.
- I got a timer for time-out. It's set for a minute and a half. If you don't get to it within 10 seconds (because who would leave their child sitting in time-out longer than they had to, right?), it starts beeping faster. Poor Matthew is going to hyperventilate b/c he likes to whine every time he hears it beep (because he thinks I'm ignoring him...I have no idea where he could have gotten that idea) and when it starts beeping faster, he gets all confused and dizzy. Poor kid...
- Swimming starts this Saturday. I think it will be fun for the kids. Hailey will wear her little red suit with the seahorses (and ruffles on the tush) and Matt will wear his turtle trunks. I got Hailey the most adorable little white terry cloth cover up too...she probably won't need that since it's an indoor pool, but whatev. I happily purchased a pop tent for my ass and started landscaping...good times.
- Things with Babysitter have been going very well. She's pretty laid back, so she adjusts easily to schedule changes and me ranting as I walk out the door. Husband said that when he gets home, she's always on the floor playing with the kids. Today she was even putting their shoes on to go outside...what a trooper! I'm so happy she's not sitting on the couch, texting her stupid friends, and watching TV. We got really lucky with this one.
- Thanks for the interesting comments on my Marriage post yesterday. I love to start conversations or trains of thought. Husband and I talked (novel concept) about what was bothering each of us (things that we didn't even realize had happened) and things are going to be fine. It was just something that I had to get out. Something that I know everyone deals with on some level...whether it's them, their friend, their sister, a future spouse, whatever...everyone deals with it at some point.
- I'm mad at Oprah. I never watched that show...you know the one...that everyone was talking about...about cell phones? Yeah...it's still on my DVR. Even without watching it, I was scared/guilted into decreasing the use of my phone while driving. Bad news though, Ms. Winfrey. The occurrences of my road rage have greatly increased. People are such morons. I'm pretty sure that when I was on the phone, I was oblivious to all of this stupidity, but no more. I'm on a mission now to show every idiot just how mindless they really are. Yeah...me in the car phoneless may not be our best option.
- I had no idea Mother's Day was this weekend...
- I love/am totally embarrassed by random family fights that occur in the public forum of FB. I am especially entertained when it doesn't involve me, but that there's a good chance the photos I posted started it all...
- Dear Blog Friends, if you're going to participate in something called "Wordless Wednesday," please stop writing words all over you post...let your pictures do the talking! That's why I don't participate...I can barely keep my mouth closed during a funeral much less a blog post (nice comparison, huh?)!
- I have no idea why I wanted to use this title, but it is still cracking me up...after all this time!
Ummm...Please Don't Steal My Craziness...Okay? Thanks!
People I Love...follow along if you're so inclined!

Swimming sounds like fun and their suits sound adorable. I'm sure they will have a great time.
Good to hear things are better in your marriage. Everyone hits rough spots, glad to hear you worked it out.
I love Oprah's campaign. Good for you for sticking with it. I agree though, driving while on the phone makes you notice other drivers' stupidity less!
Please promise to post swimming lesson pics! I'm happy to hear you two talked. Also, the way most drivers drive piss me off. When I become a billionaire, I want to buy everybody I know a lifetime supply of Hummers. Then, when you get mad, start ramming people. They will learn. Then you can just scrap that Hummer and get another one from your supply.
Yeah, ever since a major accident last year or so around where we live due to a cell phone I never use it in the car. (And yes you notice way more all the insane things people do while driving- grrr..........)
(haha edit that - I didn't cause the accident, just read about it) :p
Your funny, We don't have the cell phone ban hear yet but but I'm sure it will happen. I heard about that Oprah show on the cell phones but I didn't watch it. I know what you mean though, I too am less full of rage when I'm not paying attention to the idiots. Now I'm not talking to myself and cursing people as they pass :)
I cried my way through Oprah's show on cell phones. It angers me when I see someone chatting away on their phone while driving, especially if they have kids in their backseat. I used to do it too until I watched that show!!
Mother's Day kind of snuck up on us this year, didn't it?
Here's my issue with Oprah and the whole cell phone thing... when is the last time she drove herself anywhere or made her own phone call. Just sayin'
Glad things are going well with the babysitter! We are having one of our girls come over tomorrow night so we can go out to dinner with friends for my bday! :-)
I can't wait to see pictures of the kids in their suits - they sound so stinkin' cute!
And YEAH for finding such a great babysitter! I think being scared of what they will do instead of watching my kids is what has kept me from even attempting to find one.
