Ordinarily black goop coming out of my mouth when I spit out my toothpaste would be a bad thing, but then I remembered I just ate Fudgee-Os, so its all better.

I can only eat them at ball games, picnics and maybe vacations at the beach
I used to be able to eat them at the zoo, sometimes grilled….

16 was doing his physics homework and....
16: The slightly disoriented pigeon flies…
Me interrupting: Wait! Why is the pigeon disoriented?
16: I don’t know, that is what the question says, I think it is funny too.
He tries to start again but I can’t concentrate anymore.
I think I might have been irritating and exasperating (or jumping on his very last nerve as Corvidae30 says sometimes).
All I can think about...
raiselm replied to your post: I am really not sure why I keep trying to eat…
That’s because you’re not eating them NY style. Onions in red sauce, spicy mustard. HEAVEN
I will definitely have to try them!
Hmmmm what's this?
What are chat posts, they look like regular posts so far...maybe when I post it?
Looks like it is just something not that exciting.
I am really not sure why I keep trying to eat hotdogs.
Maybe it’s because the boys like them so much and make them look tempting.
Then I eat one.
*gag*

Someone asked me how I was and the first thought was to tell them I was fine.
I think I am fine, but off…if that makes sense.
Can’t seem to get over being exhausted.
My chest does bug me but I can’t define it because I am not sure if it feels like sore muscles or some sort of cold/flu that has settled in my chest, even though I am not coughing or wheezing.
Making really...
Shhhh…don’t tell anyone…I just skipped a meeting.
Someone told me it was just going to be a rant-fest. So I decided not to go.
On a more positive note I don’t have to wear the plastic thing anymore. Won’t help.
Woot!
Oral surgery on my vacation.
*sigh*
Oh and I would love to make $250 for a 1/2 hour discussion.
Which is what I just paid for this appointment.
Off to the oral surgeon today.
11 loves scoobie doo noodles, like me he sort of obsesses on the food he likes. Throws the local grocery store inventory out of whack for awhile.
He is a bit more difficult to cook for though.
Cook him too much and you waste the left overs because he won’t eat them.
Cook him not enough and he looks at you with sorrowful eyes questioning why you are trying starve him.
Which he is...

I just heard my boss tell someone new to the team that we don’t have to work overtime we choose to work overtime.
I guess that is sort of along the lines of choosing to breathe etc.
I am going to choose not to work overtime this week.
Lets see what my feedback is.
I am sort of a weird mess today.
Maybe I am just not paying attention, but I am catching myself doing things that usually drive me nuts. For example:
their instead of there
advise instead of advice
spelling mistakes/dropping letters like crazy - becaus, recomendates,
That is just in the last few minutes.
I did rebook most meetings for later in the week, and I am heading out now for a walk...
Working today and Corvidae30 told me not to let them pull any of their crap.
Wonder what it is going to be like.
Going out for breakfast and doing some shopping for a community volunteer appreciation event.
It feels like a test as I haven’t done anything really since the “incident”. Which seems like forever ago already.
I am also super excited that 24 is coming over for the “Oscar tradition”, although not as excited as Corvidae30 I think. This day is akin to Christmas for...
11: Found a pretzel.
Hands it to 16.
16: Where did you find it?
Pops it in his mouth.
Me: In his butt.
Boys burst out laughing.
Corvidae30: I think you have adapted to raising boys quite well dear.
I also realized the two top phrases on the tip of my tongue are:
I’m sorry
And
I’m fine.
My coworker made me promise not to apologize to any of the healthcare workers yesterday.

Yes I know I have a problem.
It has been a relaxing day but I am tired.
Nice to have Corvidae30 home.
Wee bit irritated with myself and the feeling guilty about not working, but made it through the day without working so trying to let that win overtake the guilt.
Trying to figure out how not to go to work today.
Tired of dealing with people.
I am going out and the boys are pretty jazzed up.
16: Relax we don’t want to aggrevate Mom before she goes out.
Me: Why? So I come back?
16: Yes.
Then he comes up beside men hangs off my shoulder and starts whispering in my ear.
16: You can just love me, I don’t care about 11. It will be our little secret. You can tell him you love him but you can look at me and...
I am really enjoying fiddling around with my playbook. Yes one of my secrets is I am a BlackBerry girl.
The fun I am having at the moment almost makes up for the useless people I dealt with today.
Seriously, how can a document get through 4 people (2 of whom are supposed to be professional document writers) and published but still look like crap?
Not just one document, but many, every one I...
Was on a meeting and had an “I told you so moment”. I only said it in my head.
Inside voice achievement unlocked.
I am all the tired.
Figuring out some awesome stuff, making things more organized and accessible.
While watching a documentary on China.
I should probably be asleep, but I am engaged and having fun.
Doesn’t bode well for a productive me tomorrow.
I just saved Corvidae30’s Skor bar from a 16 year old eating machine who found it and felt the rule “finders keepers” applied.
I am a good wife.
:)
Wouldn’t let me respond to Corvidae30’s post while out and about, but the real truthful tuesday question would be…
Why wouldn’t I marry you on purpose?

Your rainbow is intensely shaded green, yellow, and white.
What is says about you: You are a joyful person. You appreciate quiet moments. People depend on you to make them feel secure. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality.

Was watching Stargate Atlantis with the boys which is a before bed ritual.
Rodney made reference to Ronan as Conan.
11 pipes up and said in the dry tone he excels at: “That’s funny because he is Conan.”
Took me a moment to realize he was right.
Ronan Dex was played by Jason Mamoa (spelling) who also played Conan.
Corvidae30 will be so proud that 11 can pull movie/tv...

Actually had to say this to the boys:
“No throwing stuff at each other! Especially when your mother is inbetween you two!”
Holy crap!
I just realized I am in the house by myself…that never happens!
I wasted this time by working.
Doh!
*palm to forehead*
Don’t you just love it when you get your bonus and after all the deductions you only end up getting about half?
All the men in my house are getting their hair cut today.
So in a couple of hours I will be living with three different males.
From a chain email…but I like the thought around it: She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens. She smiles when she feels like screaming, and she sings when she feels like crying. She cries when she’s happy and laughs when she’s afraid. Her love is unconditional. There’s only one thing wrong with her. She forgets what she’s worth! Pass this to every beautiful...

I did not know this story. As always, you are an evolving mystery.
Had to dredge it up for this thursday theme. Can’t think of another one really…except for maybe those times in the hospital before and after 11.
I did show you the scars once. :) Remember when I was pointing out my flaws.

any fruit you have, yogurt, juice, maybe beets? but that’s likely the wine talking. feel better.xo
Hadn’t thought of beets, they are good antioxidants etc…one of the super-foods aren’t they?
Thank you! xo

This is more “car fever” than “cabin fever” but the feeling was pretty much the same.
When I was young my family and I went for a vacation on an island. On our way back home the ferry workers went on strike. We were trapped in our car, in a line of cars for DAYS.
They had emergency workers out providing the car village with food an porta-potties but Mom wanted us in and...
Sick again even though I am trying to behave turning over a new leaf. Although I wasn’t the first one to get it. All of us have been snuffling around with a vile sinus cold.
This last few days might count for cabin fever, although I think my head would have exploded from the sinus pressure if I left the house.
Anyone got a tasty healthy smoothie recipe? Something to boost the immune...
Just found peanut butter on the floor at the kitchen doorway.
Looks like peanut butter that came off the bottom of a boy’s foot.
I did glance towards the carpeted hallway and livingroom.
What are the odds all the peanut butter came off the foot on the floor before that foot hit the carpet?
You know you are going to get a bit of a crappy rating when your boss starts warning you about the “bell curve” and how she had no choice before your review meeting even starts.
