Random Rumblings

I was recently informed that I don't update my blog much. I hadn't realized that it had been so long. So a small update and random rumblings...

So first...Tiger Woods. Hello! I can't believe that everyone is in such an uproar over this whole thing. He is losing deals right and left, all these women are coming out of the woodwork. I think that it was inevitable that SOMETHING would happen. Everyone I think is so appalled because he projected such a squeeky clean image. While I don't absolutely condone his actions, he is still human. I think everyone should just let him and his family pick up the pieces of their lives and try to move on, but it is hard when there is a camera constantly in your face and in your business.

2nd. New Moon. Totally fabulous! I loved it. Nuff said.

3rd. Christmas is here. Yay. Snow is here. BOO. Hopefully it doesn't stick around because I wanna go see my mom for Christmas.

It's Been a Year!

A year ago I got to see my favorite musical group EVAH! Of all time! I still love them SO much!

Although now, they are older, and so much better looking!

(Sigh).  That night is still in my top 5 of best nights ever.  EVER EVER EVER.

I feel like Dorothy...

....You know the part where Dorothy is the house and the house is in the middle of the tornado and Dorothy looks out the window and everything is topsy turvy and flying around?

Totally my life right now.

Last week My Sweet Boy FINALLY had the long-awaited surgery. It went pretty quick. Thankfully we had an AWESOME doctor (Dr. O, as we call him because we can't say his last name) is wonderful. He came to talk to us after and said that everything went well and it wasn't as bad as we were all originally thinking. We had to check in at Primary Children's at 9:45 on surgery day and we were gone by about 2:30. Sweet Boy is recovering very well. He has been home all this week though because he IS SICK! Down with the sickies! Poo on them!

Sweet Girl is doing well too. She has been home quite a bit lately as well due to the sickies, but she managed to go back to school yesterday and today. She didn't want to miss Halloween at school.

Hubby is just plugging along at work. They are getting ready to change over from Albertson's to Associated Foods. This has been several months in the making and I for one will be glad when it is all over. That will mean that all the indecision and rumors and wondering if his job is secure will be over too.

And then we have me. Where to begin? I don't know if I have a job anymore, for one. Without going into too much detail yet, I did something that I honestly didn't know would be going against policy and now I am on suspension until further notice. I fully do not expect to have a job when it is all over.

I keep trying to keep a positive outlook on it. It is hard, because we really needed my income as well as hubby's to just even stay afloat. With the holidays coming, the economy....it's a bad time to be out of work. And I had a GREAT job. I loved my job, I loved the people I worked with....

I am a firm believer in things happening for a reason, and I keep telling myself there was a reason this all happened. I think there was something else I am supposed to be doing, and I couldn't do it as long as I was working. I think Heavenly Father knew that, and He knew that I would never willingly quit my job. So He made it so I had no choice. As of right now, I don't have any concrete ideas of what that may be, but I have a few ideas.

I am sure that I can find some answers on the yellow brick road. Now I just have to find it.

A Conversation

A little background: my son has asthma, and the last week he has really been struggling with it. He has been coughing alot and it has been driving us all crazy, especially him. We had a conversation about diseases earlier.

Son: "Gosh Mom, I hate having this disease! Do you have any diseases?"

Me: "Elephantitis."

Son: "What's Elephantitis?"

Me: "It's where your body swells up uncontrollably and you look like you are really fat all the time because of it."

Son: "Wow Mom. Sorry that you have that disease. Having diseases are no fun."

(Just for the record, I DO NOT have Elephantitis. I do not know anyone that does. I do know that it is a real disease and I am not intending to poke fun at anyone that may suffer from it or knows someone that does.)

BIG NEWS!

I opened a store! Annie Kate & Co. is now open for business! I am excited! Hopefully I will be able to do well with it. I have long loved creating things, but have always given them away. Don't think I mind doing that, because I absolutely DON'T mind giving it away at all. But I was thinking one day....it costs me money to make it, so why can't I make some money FROM it? I have to admit, some one paid me for something I made one time and it did feel really good. Someone liked my stuff enough to pay for it! WOOT!

Here is the link to my store: Annie Kate & Co.. There is also a mini store in the sidebar. Some day I will have a blog just for the store, but it is gonna have to a day when I can actually sit down for a while to do it!

Lily Allen--LDN

This is an older song, but I just found and I LOVE the beat that goes on. So happy. n The lyrics are not so happy though.



LDN by Lily Allen

Riding through the city on my bike all day
Cause the filth took away my license
It doesn't get me down and I feel OK
Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless

Everything seems to look as it should
But I wonder what goes on behind doors
A fella looking dapper, but he's sitting with a slapper
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore

You might laugh you might frown
Walkin' round London town

[Chorus]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else

When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies

There was a little old lady, who was walking down the road
She was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people from the city having lunch in the park
I believe that it's called al fresco
Then a kid came along to offer a hand

But before she had time to accept it
hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead
Cause he's got all her jewelery and wallet

You might laugh you might frown
walking round London town

[Chorus]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else

When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies

Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life
Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life

[Chorus x2]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else

[x2]
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
You can see it's all lies
