Question for Lu (Bex)

Who has influenced you most in your life and how?

Look What I Made (Zaad)

So, I totally rock with pictures. Because I made the coolest pic, EVA:

Answer to My Question (Bex)

Ok, the question is: What have I never done, but always wanted to do? And who would I want there?

I have always wanted to be a part of a medical mission. I would love to go to Africa, Haiti, or some warm, distant place and help people that are seriously in need and seriously have nothing. You know the commercials with the children that are hungry, malnourished, no education, and no health care... And I don't mean stay in a hotel and visit during the day and help. I mean live with them for a month/summer or so, and be one of them; only helping them.
And maybe one day I will do that... always thought I would when I finished Nursing School... but then got married and started having children of my own... well, just not possible at this time...

Who would I want there? I know this might sound cheesy... but first choice is my husband. He makes me feel physically safe and maybe that's one of the reasons I have never tried or looked into a medical mission, something about it is scary to me. So if he were there, I would feel safe and not alone and I wouldn't worry about missing him. However, I don't think that would really be something he would enjoy... And quite possibly not an option.
Which means, the only other choice is my girlz. Each one of them has a strength and deep-rooted need to care that I think the four of us would find an experience like that amazing and wonderously rewarding. And maybe Lu and Tink have enough "strength" to make me feel safe and secure in my surroundings that we wouldn't need a "man"!!!

And I know that I need to post a question to someone... let me think...

Sometimes I actually do Love my Husband (Bex)

Ok, I know you started this question and response thing...
But I felt like I needed to post this!

I have bitched and complained often about my husband... However, I have to say, sometimes I really am lucky and he really does step up... sometimes...

The other night was one of those moments...

Lil Pooh started screaming "MOM, MOM" at the top of lungs, from the top of the stairs at 12:30a.m.; I finally woke up, went running out in my underwear to see what was wrong; and at that time the lil shit just wanted to come downstairs and sleep with us. So, being the good mom that I am (usually, I am not so friendly when woken up from a dead sleep!) I took Pooh into our room and we fell asleep...
Only at 1 a.m.ish... Lil Pooh started puking... (now, i think this is the first time Pooh has ever puked) He got puke everywhere, all over our bed sheets, pillows, the clean clothes lying next to the bed, his special animals and blanket he sleeps with...
As I got Reese into the bathroom to clean him up... My husband jumped out of bed, stripped the sheets, got new sheets and put them on the bed, got Pooh new pajamas, took all the dirty stuff to the laundry room.... All without being asked.
We worked as a team in a stinky, sticky situation!
I know to some it may seem trivial or minute; but to have un-asked for help in the middle of the night is something that a "Thank You" just doesn't seem enough. I hope he knows how much that means to me.

Homework Assignment (Zaad)

Ok, this is a good one:

I am going to ask one of you a question, then you have write your answer. When you're done, you think of a new question and pick someone else to answer. Sounds fun, doesn't it? Ok, just humor me.

I'm picking Tink:

What one characteristic do you most love about yourself AND how do you think it will be affected by becoming single after 10 years of marriage?

(I know, I made up the damn game and I've already cheated by asking a tw0-parter, but too bad, it's MY game, I'll play how I want.)

(And remember, I know where you live, so if you don't answer, I'm going to stop by your house unexpectedly with MY PARENTS, so HA!!)

(Oh! I'm having so much fun already!)

Things Keep Breaking (Zaad)

Yes, I am now writing under my pen name/official Girlz nickname, Zaad.

I wrote a lengthy blog tonight on my sister blog, Complications of a Perfect Life, so this one will be short and sweet.

Btw, did you notice how I advertised my blog as if the 5 readers of THIS blog don't already know about it? Like I'm directing our huge FAN BASE over to my blog??? Yeah, I know, retarded.

Anywho, things keep breaking:

1. This weekend, my bowling ball was most definitely broken. TM kicked my ass 3 games straight. And I'm a good bowler, so it has to be the ball.
2. THEN, my brain, and that of G-ma's and Bex was also not functioning correctly as the BOYZ beat us 2 out of 3 board games. WTF?
3. And lastly, I am pretty sure my bank account is broken (with a capital Broke) because it keeps leaking money.... it's the weirdest thing.

And yes, I'm totally and completely refusing to take responsibility for any of those things, because, well, duh.

I Hate Mornings (Bex)

I truly hate mornings...

I know some people out there wake up with this feeling of another new day, a new start, or whatever...

Me... I would rather skip to the afternoon, or evening. I feel so much better at the end of the day, when everything that needs/needed to get accomplished is done. I dread waking up and having to start over. There is so much to do in any given day and in the mornings I feel panicky that I won't get everything done, that I will forget something, etc..

And this weather doesn't help, all I want to do is crawl back in bed, let me know when the day is done and then I will be happy...

And, Am I getting old? or Am I just under to much stress? Because every morning for the last month, I wake up stiff and achy... What's up with that? I'm not that old...Am I?
