Help...I need somebody...Help!


OK, so I don't really NEED somebody, but I do do need help. My 100th post is rapidly approaching...

I really wanted to write 100 things about me, but I am so dang unoriginal, I wouldn't be able to come up with anything original to say about ME. Sooooo, if you all wouldn't mind asking me a few questions so I have some ideas, I would be SO grateful!
ANd, yeah, in case you are wondering, I totally stole the idea from Cecily. The only difference is that I am a loser and have no prizes to give!

SO, ask me ANYTHING...what have you always wanted to know about Kelly??

I am gonna keep this as a sticky for a week, so check below for new posts!!

Look what the cat Chicken drug in!

Remember this?? Well, last night as I was getting the kids ready for bed, I noticed I have a spotted little boy. There are only about 20 spots as of now, but it's definitely the "Chicken Pops" (as his sister would say). So, along with the spots, he has a fever and is vomiting a bit, so looks like a "stay inside and cater to the prince" week. That is, of course, until the princess gets it...

OH...Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

I'm the mommy, THAT'S why!

I'm a yeller. Not proud of it, but I am. I yell for the kids to get dressed for school. I yell because we are running late for school. I yell up the stairs at the kids to come down for dinner. I yell when I am mad, happy, whatever. Just call me a big, fat loud mouth. I am a yeller.

Zac (hubby) is a lecturer. He lectures. All. The. Time. When the kids get a bad grade, they can expect to sit down and listen to dad discuss it for an eternity. When they do what they aren't supposed to do, dad will "talk" to them about it. You get the drift.

Personally, having lived with the latter growing up (of course, mine was a drunk lecturer. Zac just lectures), I would much prefer to be yelled at.

So, when Nolan told me this afternoon, "I don't have to listen to YOU; YOU aren't the boss. DAD IS!!", did I yell at him?? Nope. I told on him.

Who's the Boss Now, Punk?

Thursday 13 #23 - Irish Toasts



13 Irish Toasts

In Celebration of St. Patty's Day, I thought I'd pay a little tribute to all the fellow Irish!! (I am not actually Irish, my name just sounds like I am. My husband and children, however...are.)

1. May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
2. May you live to be a hundred years, with one extra year to repent.
3. As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.
4. May your troubles be as few and as far apart as my Grandmothers teeth.
5. May the Lord keep you in His hand and never close His fist too tight.
6. May your neighbors respect you, Trouble neglect you, The angels protect you, And heaven accept you.
7. May you die in bed at ninety-five years, shot by a jealous husband(or wife).
8. May your doctor never earn a dollar out of you and may your heart never give out. May the ten toes of your feet steer you clear of all misfortune, and before you're much older, may you hear much better toasts than this.
9. Beautiful young people are acts of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art.
10. May I see you grey and combing your children's hair.
11. May you have the hindsight to know where you've been, the foresight to know where you're going and the insight to know when you're going too far.
12. May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.
13. May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings, slow to make enemies, quick to make friends. But rich or poor, quick or slow, may you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.

And, one more, just because it's hilarious!!

Here's to our wives and girlfriends:
May they never meet!

Little Girls

Before I moved to where I am living now, I went to church with a family who had 6 girls. Six. Every time I saw this family, the mom was pregnant. I KNOW they were trying for that boy, but that never happened. The kids names were Rachel, Leslie, Who knows, Who knows, Rebekah and Danielle (The middle children are always ignored anyway, right??). Anyway, I always imagined the mom stumbling around the house drinking vodka from the flower vase singing, "Little Girls" like Miss Hannigan on Annie. I wonder if she ever did that. I SO would if I had six girls.

I don't know if I've ever had a migraine. Does it feel as if brain matter is going to explode through your temples any moment?? If, so, I have one.

Fantastic time to step in the "puddle in front of the toilet," wouldn't you say? (those of you with husbands boys know what I am talking about.) I'm not cleaning it up, either.

Washing my life away...

After much research and going back and forth between, "Do I want a front loader because they look so dang cool" and "Do I want a top loader that holds more," I went with the latter. I decided that it is much more important to me to be able to do THREE loads of laundry in one wash with a 4.5 SUPER CAPACITY tub! Plus, it looks kinda cool too, with the glass top and all. Oh, I am so excited!! Now, I will sit here and wait. They will be here between 1-5 today!!

I give you the WHIRLPOOL CABRIO Washer and Dryer...

My daughter

I ate one of her goldfish crackers and she starts screaming at me.

"I HATE YOU!" Then in her sweetest little angel voice she says, " Well, I hate you a little, but I love you a lot."

Am I supposed to be gaga over that?

BTW, "hate" is not a word the kids are allowed to use. THAT is why she said afterwards that she "only" hates me a little bit, but she loves me a lot. I just thought it was sort of funny.
