My Thoughts, and some cute kids

Cowgirl Taylee riding her stick horse she named, of course, "Princess." This has become one of their favorite games.


Rohne also has a stick horse Tay named "Champion," but he prefers being a wizard (no, that's not a witch hat, it's a wizard hat), and rides the broom.

I think I have officially reached a blogging slump. There's not a whole lot going on in our lives right now. The kids were sick with bad fevers and colds over the weekend, but are getting better. I got the cold too, but it hasn't been a terrible one. Here are a few of my thoughts:

1. I soooo have to do laundry, and clean, but can't bring myself to do it. Guess that's why I'm on the computer right now, huh?

2. Rohne has to get his blood checked tomorrow. I kind of hope that his count is a little low, so they will let me give him one extra shot a week. I feel like with all the germs going around, and the holidays coming up, it would be a good idea. Am I crazy? Maybe the Dr. will just let me do it if I ask him. Doubt it.

3. My knee still hurts. I think I can do the race if I just take enough Ibuprofen, but I don't want to mess it up for good. I'm getting mixed feelings from everyone about this issue. I just need to decide, and do it!

4. I can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week! Where has the time gone? Because we are staying here for Thanksgiving, I hope we can make it to Ekalaka for Christmas. I want to see Natali, Ben and his kids, and Holly pregnant. Oh, and her boys and Mom and Dad too. We needs new tires on our Trailblazer. Anyone have an extra $500?

5. Jake has been working late this week. I know that it's good, because the harder he works, hopefully the more money in our pockets, but I wish he was here more. He has Young Men's tonight, and I didn't work out this morning, so there goes my run. I hate that it gets dark so early.

6. I finally threw away all the Halloween candy. I just kept eating it, and it wasn't doing anyone any good. Jake's been eating it out of the garbage. Don't say anything!!

7. I've talked to my sisters on the phone already like twice this week. But, I really like to talk to them. I wish I could call them without bugging them. Maybe I'll call Mom. Wait, I just talked to her too. I need some girl talk!

8. The library never has any of my books I want to read in stock. And, there's always a waiting list on them like 12 people long. Why don't they buy more than one copy?

9. All the shows I like to watch are getting so racey. I think I'm going to have to stop watching Grey's Anatomy, especially. It is turning into a Soap Opera, it's all about "you know what." Why do they have to do that? I love Dancing with the Stars, and don't want it to end. And, I am still mourning Gilmores.

10. My friend, Mindy, is scheduled for her C-Section tomorrow. And, my friend, Lisa's baby is due Saturday. I need to remember to keep them in my prayers. This is my visual reminder. It will be fun to have 2 new babies to hold. Good luck girls!

11. A 20 minute nap would feel really good right now. The kids are sleeping, and it's still hours until Jake gets home. But, I really should do other things. Hmmmmm. . .
