Joy 1: My living room is covered in Geo trax.
Joy 2: We're living off of frozen pizza and popcorn.
Joy 3: If I see another football game (soccer) I'll scream (the best thing is J2 has recorded games, Best Goals of the Season, etc..., so we NEVER run out of football).
Joy 4: "I'm bored" is the favorite phrase for kids who have changed clothes nine times.
Joy 5: My laundry room has never been so busy. I hate snow now.
Joy 6: My skin is as pimply as a hormonally challenged teenager (would someone throw this Easter candy out before I explode?).
Joy 7: I LIVE FOR YOUR COMMENTS! PLEAASE SOMEONE TALK TO ME.
Ahem, sorry about that.
The contest is moving along nicely. Remember, if you have entered a photo caption or Scavenger Hunt answers, I am not posting the comments until the contest closes. If you've entered by leaving a comment on a March post, it should be up and your name has been entered.
I am using this posting downtime to catch up on my blog reading and...
I'm having a baby!
Those of you who just choked on your Dr. Pepper because you know me in the real world and specifically remember my husband sitting around with a bag of frozen peas while I supervised our move, calm down.
It's a blog baby. I finally have an idea for a blog other than whinging. I have been so impressed with all of the people who seem to have a purpose in writing and have something they stand for and for the life of me, I couldn't think of anything that I feel strongly about. Really. I would suck as a juror:
Prosecution: "..so I think you'll agree with me that the only thing to do is to find Mr. Slimybottom guilty."
Me: "Yeah, you horrible, awful person. There's no salvaging you. I spit on you".
Defense: "... and with that highly questionable evidence, I'm sure you can all agree with me that Mr. Slimybottom has been accused of a crime he couldn't possibly have committed, being such a pillar of the community."
Me: "Yeah, that's terrible. That poor man. I can't believe he and his family had to go through this!"
I bend with the wind, broth-ah.
So with a lot of self-reflection (self-indulgence?) a baby has begun to grow in my head.
Maybe I should get a baby counter for my blog--although my brother, who scans my blog at best, could have a heart attack.
I can't wait for delivery!!
ok... you nearly gave ME a heart attack with that I'm having a baby stunt. But hey, I needed a little jolt of adrenaline!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you have the energy, desire and skills to start another blog! Good for you!
First time here... nice blog you have. :) And the energy for another one. Wow!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I decided that next year we are definatley going somewhere during spring break. It is only Tuesday and I have heard I'M BORED only a million times. :)
I don't have Dr. Pepper, but, I did almost choke! LOL! I'm glad you have some brain movement going on. I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteNow for the contest, am I supposed to match a, b, and c, with 1, 2, and 3?
Sorry about that, Kimby. No, you don't match them (that would be funny though!). You now have one entry for commenting on a March post. Now, you can do the scavenger hunt OR give me captions for one/two or all three photos. Enter as many times or ways as you like. I'd love to send you a great CD to run marathons to. :-)

ReplyDeleteOh what fun! A baby blog! I'm having a baby too, in April! It's already waiting, at formicafields.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletePand0ra, I suffered a brain blip and posted your comment, when I realized that it's probably a contest entry? So I have moved it (I hope) to the comments to be posted after the contest closes. Didn't know which of your blogs to tell that to, so I'm telling it here. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm confused. What contest? I've only begun to hang out around here recently--found you at cre8buzz.
ReplyDeleteOK, found the contest, and I hadn't entered because I'm in the US and thought that was mostly for UK folks?
ReplyDeleteSounds like maybe my comment wasn't acceptable or made no sense, in which case feel free to dump it if you don't find it acceptable.
I was thinking you had news! And, what's so funny? I sympathize with Joy 6. I'm more hormonal.
ReplyDeleteYou really did catch me off guard there! Wow!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blog baby! Yeah!
By the way, we are expecting another 7-10 inches of snow here on Thursday. Can you FREAKING stand it???? ACK!!!
Ha! Don't worry, Spring Break is almost over and the kids can go back to School! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, thanks for stopping by mine.
What kind of awful husband would subject his gorgeous wife and mother of five beautiful children to yet another pregnancy. That would be very selfish and thoughtless. Glad to hear it wasn't true, otherwise I would advise packing up and leaving now.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was, "What about the peas?" But it wouldn't be the strangest thing I have heard of. I once knew a family that had six very energetic boys. They thought they were done having kids, so the dad had a vasectomy, and they were still able to conceive a baby girl! Who would have thought? I can't wait to read your new "baby" because I love your current blog!
ReplyDeleteHeads up people, when you try to un-post a comment, Blogger gives you a choice. One choice infers you can come back to it and one warns you it will be gone forever. I tucked Pand0ra's away thinking she was entering the contest (I knew her from Cre8Buzz), to be posted later. Well, it's gone forever and now there's confusion as to it's content and being unacceptable. It was NOT. Here it is:
ReplyDeleteSorry P.!
Pand0ra Wilde :
I'm just waiting for April 2nd, where I get to quit saying, "I'm bored, I hate snow, why can't we go someplace, wah, wah, wah."
OK, thanks and sorry about the mixup--I'm just not used to having comments I knew weren't nasty or mean removed. Thanks lots for straightening that out.
ReplyDeleteWow. I was quite shocked, but I look forward to meeting the new baby in your life.
