HA! I did it!!! 30 consecutive days of blog posts!  No, they weren’t all brilliant, but really, mine aren’t every time anyway.  It actually wasn’t that hard this time, so GO ME!! I RAWK!!

In honor of that, I give you one last lame-o, useless post:

You Are Scrabble

You are incredibly clever and witty. You can talk your way out of (and into) situations easily. You are an excellent decision maker. You are good at weighing the options in front of you. You’re the type of person who can make something out of nothing. You are very resourceful. You know a lot of things. Most importantly, you know when people are wrong – even when they won’t admit it.

Or Phive Photos?  hehe

Random choice of 5 photos, for your viewing and my blogging pleasure.

Matt & his squishy stuff

And finally, Daisy – 6.5 months old, curious about seeing snow for the first time.

Daylight savings time = JUNK.

Seriously. I am exhausted, have been for hours.  Extra sleep for one night doesn’t equal well-rested, especially when one looks at the clock ALL day thinking, well, it really is an hour later than the clock says…. and the kids wake up at normal time ready to GO.

My mom came over today to hang with the boys for a few hours.  My intention was to work on cleaning out my work storage unit to have room for the next set of boxes of files when we clean out files at the end of the year (holy run-on sentence!).  And then I thought I would run a couple errands, pick up a new book or twelve, and then head on home at a nice, leisurely pace.

Instead, I went into my office, worked for an hour and a half and called it a day.  I don’t know if it was paying work bills, or lack of good food or the sun disappearing behind a sky full of clouds, but I lost my motivation.  I came home and haven’t been able to shake the sleepies since.

Matt is in bed, Preston cozy in the chair watching the dreaded Caillou.  Of course, there is laundry to fold and put away, and dishes to do, among other things, but I want to cozy up on the couch and watch tv.

Normally on Sunday, I am watching the clock and willing it to slow down. Today, I couldn’t help but feel like it has been the longest day EVAH.

Today has been a good day.  The best part? When Preston fell off the swing.

Yes, he’s fine.  Yes, I laughed at him…but before you get all judge-y and stuff, HE was laughing too.  And I did wait until I made sure he was ok before I laughed (mostly).

I decided that it would make the day even more fun to draw some illustrations for you.  (I’ll never be able to do it as well as her, but it’s fun to try!)

So, here we are…I’m pushing the boys on the swing…see how happy we are?

And see how fast and high they are going?

And see how happy Preston is, specifically??

And then, SUDDENLY, the swing was EMPTY!!

Where’d he go??? *(Where’d WHO go?! – props to anyone who knows where that line comes from!!)

In the blink of an eye….

He flew out of the swing and landed flat on his back in the rubber mulch.  As I ran over to him I said “You let go!!” And my boy, flat on the ground, just about to cry from the shock of flying through the air said “You PUSHED ME!!”

And that set me off.  Of course I pushed him, I was pushing him on the swing!

I gathered him up in my lap and hugged him close. We went back and forth for a minute about me pushing vs. him letting go, while Matt went in search of Mr. Bear and juice. By the time Mike came to the deck to see why Matt had come running in the house, I was starting to crack up. And then? I couldn’t stop.

Suddenly, the very idea of Preston flying through the air and landing flat on his butt was the funniest thing I’d seen in a long time.

Luckily, Preston agreed with me, because when he first said “Mom! It’s not funny!” and I replied with “*snort* yes, yes it was! *snicker*” He gave me the look, but then started giggling along with me.  We must’ve sat and laughed for 10 minutes.  Neither of us could get a grip; I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt. (of course, as out of shape as I am, it was a fabulous ab workout, too!!)

FYI: This is my first post of NaBloPoMo – consider yourself warned that there will be much silliness to come in the next 29 days.
