One recent wonderful day was the other day when it was 50something and we
had an hour and a half to kill while Sarah got ready for work.  Ah, it was
Sunday. Because we were supposed to go to church - but noone but me got up.
(next week i will go anyway!) And Zee had been promised a Wendy's Frosty
after church because she had a coupon for a free one. So we all went out to
take Sarah to work so we could fulfill the Frosty pledge.  While Sarah got
ready we ran to the Dollar Store where the boys got munchies with the money
they had earned selling duct tape wallets and then we searched for a
playground.  We found ball fields but no playground.
Ball fields work.  We happened to have a football in the van - woot! The
fields had a set of bleachers for seats and they were empty - the fields and
the bleachers.  So we parked and got out.  We tossed the football. I even
felt good enough that day to play imaginary baseball with Roo and chase him
all the way around the bases. Roo style of course. LOL - had to redirect him
a few times.  Apparently his usual ballfield is a triangle.  roflmbo!
Andrew brought an airsoft gun and we decimated a foam cup. (great stress
reliever!)
Lots of laughter, lots of fun.  At some point one of the kids said, "This is
the best day."
And it was.  It was a great day!  Nothing really special.  No great amounts
of money.  Just family, and beautiful weather, and just enjoying being
together out in life.

Two things i would like to change about myself. . . hmmm, are these things I
CAN change or just things in general?  Well, the easier path has to be in
general - which of course would be that I am not sick and . . . that I could
see better.  or my hair.  or does that one fall under the second category???
I know, the deeper issue here would be like character issues huh?  I know I
need to work on the fact that it REALLY bothers me when people think I am
stupid.  I do not know why.  If i knew why I could probably fix it. Anyway -
I should not even bother about what others think and most of the time and on
most issues I really don't.  But it really does bother me when people think
I am stupid.
And - i would like to lose another 40#. It is on my list.

Three ways to add more romance.  First of all - DATE!  Make time for the
relationship!  I think dating should be for after the marriage - that is
when you NEED a break from all that reality and responsibility!  Second - be
honest.  I think honesty really adds romance to a relationship because you
are freer to be uninhibited.  Three - explore candles and quiet and music.

Four decorations for a door. I have no idea where this came from, but it
popped out.  Mom mom has a really neat string instrument on this door.
Three strings with 3 beads on strings that hit the other strings when you
close it.  Beautiful sound!
I like to put my kids artwork on our front door.  Ran out of room on the
fridge with eight kids!

Mom has a snowflake made of bells on her outside door so it jingles when
someone uses the door.  Very pretty and useful.

Five. I just like 5. I like the way it looks. I like the way it sounds.  I
was born on April 5.  My hubby was born on Oct 5. Is that too cool or what??
I like multiples of 5 too.
