i should really go back over my 2 1/2 years worth of blogging … and see just how many times i used "random" in my title! lol! i try to be original … but the title is actually my most dreaded part of the post. my thoughts are totally jumbled up right now … so i’m going to just pull a few random things out for tonight.

• finished up some projects today … with a day to spare. lol! doesn’t matter how ahead of time i have the product … or how early i start … or how many good intentions i have. i ALWAYS leave things until the last minute.
• had an excellent day with the kiddos. yesterday the babies were on totally different nap schedules … so one of them was always sleeping while the other one was awake. but today … they took naps at exactly the same time … for the same amount of time. beautiful thing, i tell you! does wonders for my sanity to have that break during the day!
• had a visit about daycare today. and i could really use a new kid or two in here. but the call was for 3 kids … 3 boys to be exact! that sounds a little crazy to be honest. i’m open to the idea if she comes back. although it would put me above my limit when the girls are off track and all … since i would have more babies. so hard to work the different ages and schedules sometimes so that you don’t exceed your limit. and also your sanity!
• i had to stop at target tonight to get some things … index cards for sarah’s animal report, toilet paper, capri suns for lunches, and some baby wipes. and i got something that i’ve been eyeing every single time i go to target … a potato masher! i know, sounds crazy that i would be excited over this … but i am. i’ve been making a lot of "smashed potatoes" lately … and i just my mixing beater to smash the potatoes. can’t wait to use it … but will have to wait since i’ve already done smashed potatoes twice this week.
• i watched about 4 more movies since last week … since my "movie review" post. but i’m taking a break. i have about 10 shows on my DVR right now. usually i’m super anal about watching them and clearing them off … but i guess i relaxed a little since there aren’t a lot of new shows on lately. i think i have "hot shots", "cashmere mafia", "nip/tuck", "ugly betty", "october road", "las vegas", "gossip girl", and a few more that i can’t think of.
• it has been super cold here. and i can’t seem to warm up no matter how hard i try. on tuesday i packed up the little ones to walk to school to get the big ones … without realizing just how cold it was out. by the time we got home i could barely even feel my fingers. i have such poor circulation … my fingers and toes will literally turn white. the girls were in awe of it though!
• i’m thinking i need to bake some cookies. havn’t done that in ages. i need to give some people a "thank you" though. i’m lucky that i have some daycare parents … and an awesome neighbor … that like to bring me starbucks on random occasions. such a nice treat … they know what keeps me going! i want to return the favor … but i’m kind of stuck here during the day. so i appreciate them bringing it to me! will have to bake tomorrow!
• i have a new idea book waiting for me downstairs … the "designing with recipe book" by autumn leaves. when i know an idea book is coming out (especially anything by autumn leaves or making memories) i will stalk my well-known sites until i find it. i don’t even know if this is available anywhere else yet. but i think this site still has it in stock … and they’re shipping is fantastic. i ordered it late sunday night … and it came today (wednesday). they’re books are just total eye candy! i didn’t even look at it yet … that’s how excited i am to have it. lol! i know that sounds wierd … but i have to wait until the perfect quiet moment to open it and drool over the designs!
• got an email today from winkflash … their 5×7’s are half off. they’re already cheap at 29 cents … but even better at 14 cents!!! i had a plan in mind that i’ve been wanting to do that would require ordering a big amount of 5×7’s … so perfect timing. you can probably find the coupon code on their site … but leave me a comment if you need the code and i’ll email you back (code is downstairs and i’m being lazy right now!).

ok … i’m done. but mainly because it’s 10:00pm. and if i head downstairs right now … i can squeeze 3 shows in before bed! actually, make that 2 shows … and my daily dose of the "rachael ray" talkshow which is always the last thing i watch before bed!
