It's truly the end of an era..and the start of a new one

Jeremy has started his new job as a Correctional Counselor for the state of Iowa and so far he LOVES it. While I am so proud of him and happy for him as well, I am also a bit sad. I am used to talking to Jer several times a day while we both worked at Bridgeway. We would either talk by phone, IM, or text throughout the day, and ALWAYS had lunch together. Today I drove around town at lunchtime, then headed back early because it was rainy and cold outside. Jeremy and I met and fell in love at Bridgeway and for that reason it will always be dear to my heart.

Do you want to know what really gets on my flipping nerves?

Well, since you asked or didn't..
Here is what drives me insane in my membrane:

I am really bothered by people who walk around with obvious black or whiteheads on their face. Pick it. Please.

I get really annoyed when people overly touch their food. My sister not only takes apart her sandwich, but touches everything a ton and I have even seen some people smear catsup with their finger.

I don't like the overuse of apostrophes.. especially in store signs! The "excessive use of quotation marks" is also annoying!

Littering really irks me. I feel like it's just laziness in many cases.

Another pet peeve is the sound of styrofoam rubbing against anything. It makes me cringe!

I get so annoyed when people don't tip. Really people, do you know what it's like to make $3.50 an hour? Do you really know what it's like to serve a random stranger's every whim for ranch dressing, more mr. pib and then more ranch dressing?

I hate when I hear "she didn't have enough money to go to school". She can take out a loan.

Why oh why oh why oh does it ever make sense to drive in the fast lane when you are clearly a slow lane kinda guy or gal?

Socks + sex never make sense.

Egg sandwiches. Possibly because they are often served with catsup or catchup or ketchup.


Why do old people think it's ok to say anything on their mind even when it's insanely offensive? That is so annoying.

I can't take it when someone doesn't follow the basic laws of the land in regards to taking turns in the line at McDonald's. I believe in karma, and you will be peeling off your own toenails in hell.

He's eating big boy food..and I betcha he never looks back!




Yummo! This rice-y concoction sure beats my milky concoction!

Another Trip to the Unkin Thatch!

Today we traveled to Woodland View Farm. Ava rode a mini pony and even went hands free! She got her first bee sting today (on her hand) but only cried for a few minutes. She also had a great time dancing with the Indians. A horse and carriage ride topped off the special day.







I think I finally found the meaning of life

Where Oh Where Did Naptime Go!?!

Naptime around this place is sought after. It's A-W-E-S-O-M-E, awesome! awesome! TOE-TA-LEE!

Naptime is time to switch over the laundry, catch up on what's going on with the presidential election, bond with Alex, read a new fiction book, mess around on Babycenter, pay the bills.. Lately naptime is dwindling. It takes longer to initiate naptime, longer for the thumping upstairs to subside, yet shorter and shorter in duration. And when naptime does happen, it has certainly taken on a new form. Where oh where did naptime go?



A Perfect Autumn Day



We took a trip to Tanner's Orchard today and had a splendid time.

It was so special to have all of the kids together and let them have the run of the place.


Even having a pumpkin throw up all over my pants pants and shoes didn't damper our mood.
