been awhile since my last random post, right?

• i don’t think anyone noticed at all today … but i wore the exact same thing that i wore yesterday. exact. although it was totally clean … washed it last night. the reason? it’s been so rainy and windy lately (although not today) that it’s a total waste if i take the time to curl my hair. so i’ve been doing it semi-straight … and then toss on a hat. only thing is … the only hat i really like is my brownish one. actually … the one i’m wearing in my photo to the left. and i really only like the hat with a brown shirt … or my dark, deep purple. and i only wash my hair every other day … so then i must wear the hat 2 days in a row.
• speaking of hair. i can’t wear mine straight anymore. it just looks bad. i’m going for a much needed haircut on thursday night. so i either spend forever curling it … or i toss the hat on. i like it curly … but i just don’t have time in the mornings to do it. although if i can take the time … my curls will last for 2-3 days … so maybe that averages out pretty good.
• i now have 10 hours worth of shows on the DVR … how pathetic is that? 8 of the girls disney and nickolodeon shows (4 hours), 2 lifetime movies (4 hours), 1 rachael ray talkshow because i want the recipe she made (1 hour), and 1 episode of "eli stone" (1 hour). everything else is caught up. although i do have a half hour episode of "the new adventures of the old christine" recording tonight … love that show!
• i was creative today … but it was all for a country report art project. lol! alyssa is doing a display board … i think it has a technical name for it, but i can’t think of it right now. it’s not until you have to fill it up with info that you realize just how big that tri-fold board is! lol!
• i also took out my cricut … and cut out 3 country names. two of alyssa’s friends loved the title i cut for her … so i did their country names for them. apparently my cricut-ing abilities are amazing!
• i did start digging into my new making memories products a little bit. i’m playing with the garden party collection … which can i say is amazing! the colors are just so bright and colorful … and such fun embellishments!
• first i saw THIS and then THIS over on the amazing miss keisha’s blog. and then today there was THIS from the equally amazing maggie over on the MM blog. how’s that for some links? lol! anyways … love how they used those large chipboard hearts! and so wishing i actually had some. i have large letters galore … and a few words … and a flower or two. but no hearts. i even saw a package of them a while back and passed on them. so wishing i hadn’t!
• tomorrow joe has his first game to umpire for the season … besides that short one he did for his "freebie". so that leaves me to get sarah to softball practice. i have 5 other kids at that time tomorrow. so my mom is going to help me out and take her to practice. and if and when she returns sarah to me … she will get a free dinner in return for her and my dad. lol! i actually think that’s a pretty good deal … since i’m making my good stew tomorrow! i may even toss in some breadsticks.
• sarah has been giving me a really bad time lately about going to bed. she likes to sleep in our bed. i keep telling her that she should consider herself lucky … since when she comes in my bed in the middle of the night i let her stay and don’t take her back to her room. mainly because i am so out that i don’t even notice her climb in. lol! but we’ve been fighting every night. last night i told her i was going to call super nanny on her. she saw me looking at the site … so maybe that will let her know i’m not joking around. lol! i love super nanny … love watching the show and then realizing that my kids (and all my daycare kids) really aren’t THAT bad after all. lol!

that’s it for now. hope everyone had a good monday!
