Yup. Body parts that have a mind of their own take a lot of energy from the brain.

Thats my theory, anyway. I will be checking my mail for a Nobel Prize from now on.

I swear, everyone I know has children that are in advanced classes, read at a college level and are of stellar good looks.  Not picking on anyone here rather I am thinking of my own sister who says the exact same things about my nephews. I wonder, then, why aren't we smarter as a whole? Quite the contrary, people are getting dumber as proven by general aptitude tests. I guarantee the generations who came before us thought the same about our own "dumbing down" of society. Perhaps we are lowering standards? Anything above mediocre is now "excellent?" You are hearing this from someone who chose not to have kids? Nah! Couldn't be! HAAA!

Well If I had to Listen to this song....  I will watch this man do it!!!   OOOOOlalalalalalal

LMAO

		Hi Ron xx This may sound lame but I was so happy for him. He loves his bike and is a little introvert. As soon as he took off he was whooping with joy. I had the camcorder going and you can hear him saying to his dad 'you can let go now'.  Everytime he fell off (mostly when he wanted to come to a stop) he'd just get up and get right back on again. He rode past me and said 'mama I'm a big boy now'. I started crying because of a mixture of realizing how fast he's growing up and being very happy at the same time. Oh crap.. I've turned into such a mom lol.      ronhartsell wrote: Good morning Metalians!!  Ok, NO DYING TODAY!!!!

Monday, Monday
So good to me.. NOT!!
lol

Ok so I'm starting to take these 'mishaps' a wee bit personally now. On a good note, it's not thursday so maybe the 'thursday curse' has passed but last night our washing machine decided to stop working. So with a load full of wet washing we needed to manually drain the machine, hand rinse and do the last bit of washing by hand. Zakk had to go to school with no socks on today because the boy seems to enjoy changing socks multiple times during the day. He goes through a minimum of two pairs and he's a toddler? At least he has good foot hygiene lol.

On a very proud note.. my little angel was finally confident enough to lose the side wheels on his bicycle yesterday. He was so excited that he could ride without falling. He just needs to perfect stopping and starting now lol. Once he's going though he's unstoppable. Now his little sister wants her wheels off but seeing as she's only three I think she'll have to wait a few months first. Amazing how they always want to do what the older one is doing?

Night MG!

Well I'm home from work and I'm pretty sure I'm getting an eye infection damnit! Blimmin sore and red, and I have no chance in hell of seeing my doctor this late in the day. Damnit.

Most of the trees on my property are blasted "gumball" trees..."sweetgum," iow. Burns with a ton of smoke and throws off very little heat. Here I have to burn every couple of weeks out of need.
