Excite Me

Things that are making me happy right now:

A new season of The Doctor



The majority of 3 days spent outside in the sunshine


My energy is returning so slowly but surely thanks to tons of vitamins



Cinnamon rolls that I am making for breakfast tomorrow



But the thing I am mostly excited for is General Conference!

 

Keith is at the age where he listens to what goes on around him.  So much so that I have begun to be very careful of the media while he is in the room.  I have a game planned for him to listen and get treats, but he will be listening and that is the important thing.  Oh, and the fact that I get to hear from a living day prophet!  That is pretty cool as well. ;)

This post is linking up with Mamarazzi's Happy List party.  Come join the fun.

LOVE the General Conference weekend. Almost as much as I'd love those cinimin rolls. Also, I have no idea how to spell cinimmon. And to think, I am a teacher.

Can I come over for breakfast???

Isn't it awesome & super scary when the littles start really paying attention to everything around them. My daughter has asked me about conversations I've had earlier in the day & I was shocked at how much she paid attention to.

Conference weekend is the best! We get bagels for Saturday morning and make cinnamon rolls for Sunday! Although, today I had a really hard time focusing on the talks. :(

The Doctor? Never heard of it. Enjoy your show!!

I Love general conference! Did Keith watch or at least sit still so you could? Cuz my 2 SOOO didn't. Oh well. At least the Spirit was in the room... when I wasn't screaming at them. :)
Oh, and hooray for good weather... at least for a minute!

Oooh! Recipe please!!!!! I was craving them babies. There was a sweet gal in our ward who made the BEST cinnamon rolls evah! I enjoyed conference. I had to watch it on my computer this round though. I got rid of some of my movie channels and changed my plan. In the process I lost the BYU channel! Booo! Great happy list!

I hope you enjoyed conference. I started watching the new Dr. Who a couple of weeks ago on BBC America. It is a lot of fun. I didn't realize there was an old one. I always thought this was the version you talked about. Glad you are feeling better :)

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really.

We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me.

Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?"
Lowes: "What's that?"
"A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short."
"Is that like a brand of baseboard?"
"Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling."
"Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?"
"Tile?"
"To go along the ceiling, right?"
"Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."
"I hav…

Intruder

It was late.  Everyone in the house was asleep but me.  I was happily folding laundry while watching mindless TV and laughing because King of the Hill is just funny.  I finished, carried my basket upstairs, and smiled.  It was nice having all the laundry folded.  Now to put it away.

I climbed the stairs, making certain to turn off all the lights.  When I got to the top, I noticed the kitchen door was unlocked, so I locked up for the night.  I stealthily entered Beth's room, putting her basket of clothes just inside the door because that baby sleeps like a cat.  I then went into my room and began hanging my clothes up.

I was going rather slowly and daydreaming while I did it, lazily looking forward to sleeping in my bed.  Faye had begged Jeffrey to sleep with her because she couldn't sleep, and so I would get to sprawl to my heart's content.

Suddenly, I heard the doorknob to the kitchen door rattle.  Then I heard the unmistakable sound of a shoulder heaving against the d…

What, Again?

"Crap.  I am pregnant again."

That is what I have been thinking all week long.

I am too tired.  I should not be this tired.  Why am I so tired?

I am too tired to make dinner.  I am too tired to clean the house.  Heck, I am too tired to even shower. 

The only thing in my experience that I could come up with was pregnancy.

But then I learned something.

When the little air sacks in the bronchial tubes become inflamed, it makes it difficult for the body to get enough air.  So the heart has to work twice as hard distributing oxygen throughout your body.  Which makes you unbelievably tired.

And not pregnant.

But with Bronchitis.

At least that is the unofficial diagnosis.

So I have been sitting on the couch all last week.  And weekend.  And today.  And probably for the rest of the week.  Probably for the rest of this blasted sickness.

But the feeling tired and coughing up a lung is not the hard part.  The hard part is leaving my family to fend for themselves.  We have been enjoying…
