I am just beating the buzzer again tonight! PST can come in handy in the bloggy world!

To Daisy, Thank You Very Much for taking Ashton's shoes with you in to the bathtub! All I can say is, "WHY!?!?!" and "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

To my curling iron, Thank You very Much for jumping out of my hands, rolling down my arm and leaving a very attractive blister! Work with me!

To my overwhelming To Do list this week, Thank You Very Much for making it impossible for me to keep up with all my bloggy friends! I promise to catch up this weekend!

It's probably a little too late for you this week, but you should definitely try a little sarcastic therapy next week! Kmama can help!

10 Things to Smile About - October

Holy Cow! I've been trying to post this all day! I wanted to add a few pictures but both of my camera cards were having major issues and I couldn't download any pics! I did come up with a solution which you will read about below!

Here are 10 things that I was smiling about in October:

1. In the first 5 days of Oct we had 3 days with rain. And below 100degree temps! yippeeeeee!=)

2. Having the kids home for Fall Break.=)

3.With the cooler weather comes actual cold water coming out of the taps. I love having 3 different water temperatures to do my laundry in, instead of hot, hotter and hottest! Also, brushing teeth with warm water is blicky!=)

4. During Fall Break, Daisy realized that she could make Bailey do whatever she wanted! All I heard all day was "Bah Bah! Bah Bah! Bah Bah" Then I would find the two of them sitting on the couch eating otter pops or playing together in the sandbox or playing pladoh on the back patio or sprinkling fairy dust (sugar) all over the pantry!=)

5. After complaing about the photo contest I entered, I was able to get 2 of my pictures in the top ten finalists. I used 5 emails to vote for my pictures 5 times PER DAY with word verification for EVERY vote. I was determined! I only received votes from myself. If you are interested, you can check out my photos and my competition here. =)

6. A trip to the pumpkin festival. =)

7. Sending the kids back to school after Fall Break. =)

8. The boys really wanted to submit a pumpkin for the contest at school. I had no idea what to do! Carving is not allowed. Then, last week, I met a new bloggy friend and can you believe she had posted pics of some fabulous pumpkins she had decorated. She even said I could copy her idea! I put together the pumpkin last night and delivered it to the school this morning. Thanks Janet! Go check out her pumpkin here. =)

9. I finally took pictures of Daisy in her cute birthday outfit. It's only been 2 months since her birthday! =)

10. Finally figuring out how to get the pictures off of my camera's memory card. It was rocket science actually. I used the cable to attach the camera to the computer's usb port! Genius!! =)

To Bailey, Thank You Very Much for taking my cell phone with you to the bathroom and proceeding to call me EVERY 1.5 minutes on the home phone. Get a book Bay! I am not your 'potty entertainment'!

To my alarm clock, Thank You Very Much for allowing me to completely sleep through hitting the snooze button TWICE before I realized I needed to get my butt out of bed! Get off the easy listening channel and turn yourself up a few notches! Your current settings are ineffective!

To the Lady who parked her car in the parent pick-up lane at school, Thank You Very Much for forcing me to roll down my window and point out that you were blocking traffic! Can't you see the cars moving ahead of you and the big line of cars, waiting to move forward, behind you? Get back in your car!!!!!!!!! (I asked her in a much nicer way through gritted teeth)

You know you need some therapy! Give it a try and link up with Kmama!

We don't get "typical" Fall around here. But, last Christmas when we stopped to see the Tumbleweed Christmas Tree, the kids found a pile of leaves and easily entertained themselves for quite a while!

Dear Local News Channel,

I recently submitted 4 of my photos to your "Kids Costume" Photo Contest. I would really appreciate knowing why you are calling it a "photo" contest when it is clearly a "see how many emails you can sign up for and then vote for your own picture" contest. Since registering for your site is a requirement before voting, I am pretty sure that only the people that submitted photos are going to take the time to vote!

I am not a professional photographer but I am not going to be happy if a photo that someone didn't even bother to remove the red-eye from beats one of my shots.

Sincerely,
Not Even Sure Why I Bothered
