Did you ever have one of THOSE days...

Have you ever had one of those days where you wished with an unparalleled desperation that you could climb back in bed and start over? All the things you'd do different are screamingly obvious? You'd pay better attention to the "signs" and take action early to avoid just being able to react. I've had a month like that. My boss told me the other day if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any at all. Boy is that right. Not that anything has happened directly to me - but one thing or another has affected just about everyone I love this last month. And not in a good way. So here I am still trying to pick up the pieces and put them back together. I won't go into details because those of you who know me well enough know them already and those of you who don't - trust me you don't really want to know anyway. But in my attempt to start putting everything back to right - I'm determined to get back to my blogging. I have so much to share with you, where to start. I'll start way back before everything went sour. My sister and her husband(Bill) and son(Dylan) came for a visit. We all went to the Dinosaur museum and had a blast. They have Great hand's on things and pretty good fossils.

So here's to catching up on the blogging. See you tomorrow.

Good Times

We got out on Saturday and did a bunch of free stuff (the kind of stuff I love). We went to Kids Day over in Provo. We actually stumbled onto it by accident - it was in the same park as the farmers market we go to. But Connor had fun on the rock wall. Plus he usually only gets about 1 foot above the ground so getting this high was especially exciting for him.

We also went over to see the Radio Station at their remote broadcast. They had a clown that was doing face painting and balloons. Hillary wanted a butterfly and got more than she could have ever asked for. I was impressed and she loved it.

And for those of you who know I actually have 3 kids - Breanna was asleep during the kids day and refused to have her face painted. But she was there with us.

A GREAT CONTEST

Check out this website and enter her contest to win the great Frog Pod. Also check out the website for Boon. I went there and it's great. Not a company I'd heard of - but instantly loved after seeing their stuff.

What makes me feel old....

Today's small talk topic over at Sherrie's blogaversary party is "What makes you feel old?". I figured I'd participate since I have TONS of things that make me feel old. So here goes. Feel free to participate - click the button on my sidebar or just post your own list.

• It makes me feel old when my office partner doesn't know who Gary Coleman is and I do.
• It makes me feel old when I realize that I have a teenager.
• It makes me feel old when I realize that my second child is about to hit puberty.
• It makes me feel old when the music I loved growing up is called "old school" and it has it's own time slot on the radio called "the resurrection lunch".
• It makes me feel old when I think actors who are over 60 are HOT.
• It makes me feel old when I realize I've been out of high school longer than I was in high school.
• It makes me feel old when my teenager tells me I can't use words like "tight" because I'm too old.
• It makes me feel old when people think I am my mother's sister.
• It makes me feel old when I try to sit on the floor. And even older when I try to get up.
• It makes me feel old when I realize I no longer enjoy McDonalds.
• It makes me feel old when I go to the mall and realize I would never wear anything those stores sell. Nor could I fit into most of it.
• Making this list is making me feel old. Oldness is easier to take in small doses. Don't think about it all at once.

Here kitty, kitty, kitty...

Hillary is helping the neighbor while she is away this week. Her job is to play with the kitty's. Yesterday was her first time and she did great. Too bad I hate cats or I might get one for her she's so cute with them.
