1. Garbage bags without ties on them. I never buy garbage bags with out the drawstrings and I hate when they don't get tied up before they go into the outside garbage can. I don't know why but I hate even the thought of garbage free in the can!

2. Shoes on the bed...and worse on the sheets. I hate when anyone sits on the bed with their shoes on and I hate even more when the kids don't make their beds and then do it. Do you know where the bottoms of your shoes have been? Think about it...

3. If anything is going to go wrong with the car it will be for me. Our cars (especially Erik's car) love to play tricks on me. If the gas runs out as soon as the light goes on it is for me, if the tire is flat, me, if the battery is dead, or it just won't start, yup you guessed it ME!

4. Pillows on the floor. Ok, so maybe I have a bed thing. I try to keep separate pillows for the family to use on the floor and I never use them. The kids love to drag their pillows out to the trampoline. Oh the horror of that one!

5. I am a Lost, Heroes, and secret Greys Anatomy fan. I have been known to plan simple meals for the family on these nights on purpose and always make sure the DVR is set just in case. I save the ice cream or other dessert for these nights so come on over and join....you know you want to!

6. Rain! I love rain. Not constant forever and ever rain. I like sunny days too. Most people get depressed when they have two many, rainy, cloudy or snowy days in a row. I struggle when there are to many sunny days in a row and we moved to Phoenix! Yikes...

Ok, there you go! I tag Shanda, Bethany, Charlene, Britta, and Amanda. Your it!

Broken Toes

Emily dropped the wooden kitchen bench on her foot last week. After bandaging it up we figured that she would be fine in the morning so we made a big deal of it all and put her to bed. The next morning when I woke her for school she was complaining about it. Boy what a change from the night before. Her big toe and the two next to it where a nice shade of black and purple! The big toe was almost twice its size and was bruised all the way to the top of her foot. To the docs office we went. They did an x-ray and...bad news is that the bone in her large toe was broken, good news, the other two toes where fine and the foot itself was fine. Not much can be done for toes so she has to keep them bandaged and wear a shoe that is just a bottom with Velcro on the top. I was going to include a picture but decided not to for all those with weak constitutions (aka my camera is still broken) It is killing her to not participate in PE and recess but she has made it a point to NEVER sit on the bench the wrong way again!!

Nothing worse...

than a broken camera. We have two. Sorry it will be a while until we get some pictures back on here. One digital camera stopped working and the other seems to be missing the charger since the move. We have two film SLR's but a heap of good they do when you are spoiled and want your pictures now!
