Farts are always funny in my house!

Okay... I have sat at this computer for about 45 minutes now. My concentration stinks today... I felt drool starting to make its way down my chin! UGH! Seems that these days I am struggling for funny stuff to write. I attempted to write about the "One eyed donkey" that was chasing Rylie the other night in her sleep. Every time I thought about it, I cracked up laughing. So I sat here, like I am now, and put words down. Hmmm, that didn't seem funny...as a matter of fact, it seemed kind of sad! WHAT? I am growing a conscience NOW?? OH~NO!! What will happen to me if I no longer thought the girls falling, tripping, running into things wasn't funny anymore? I had to walk away. Shaking my head in disappointment, I left the blog un touched. I needed a sign... a big ole' 'HAHAHAHAHA! LAUGH AT HER!' sign. That night I waited. I was desperate for the girls to fall.. anything! I contemplated tripping them then realized that might be taking it a bit too far. I thought.. okay... let's ask them a question and wait for a funny answer. Oh my gosh! It's not just me! The girls aren't being funny! What is my chaotic world coming to??? A serious one? I need back up... reinforcements... I tried to take a deep breath, close my eyes and put myself in a funny place. This is NOT working! Goodness me... I am panicking. Hyperventilating. I can't breath. I.... I... nothin'! Sheesh. I let myself slip farther and farther into an opposite state of insanity. I can't do this.. oh wait... what's Rylie doing? She is walking towards Bryanna.. I see the look... I think I see something in her eyes... yes... Yes.. YES! Woo hooo! Rylie just farted by Bryanna, Bryanna got up and stomped her way to the room mumbling under her breath as Rylie fell down on the floor laughing. Okay, farts are ALWAYS funny!! Geez... you just can't lose with those can you! Rylie has an amazing way of being a disgusting cutie. Ha! you never thought you would see those two words put together did you! Okay, so today's blog... a mushy mess of nothingness trying to stop the drool from hitting the floor. I don't know if it worked or not, I guess I am going to find out soon enough!

An all about me post....

Ohhhhhh.... its a doooozy tonight! ~~ SIGH ~~~ Sometimes therapy writing can be a good thing and sometimes it can be a very-very bad thing. Hmmm, which will it be tonight. Well, since my blog is about the girls, and perhaps this might be a family site... I will keep it on the very nice level. So I have often said when life hands you a lemon, you chuck it as hard as you can at the next person that comes along. Well, what if you get the whole lemon tree? Am i allowed to shove branches up their nose? Life has always been easy for me to smile through. I believe whole hearted that you smile because you remember the things you are thankful for and not the things that have brought you down. In an instant a smile can turn into a frown, a heart can bear a scar and eyes that once had a twinkle will start to dim. I have this amazing ability to pick myself up by the dragging soul and get through life knowing that everyday will be amazing. Sometimes I start the day with a heavy sigh... but it always end on a good note. Everyone needs a "Stephanie" in their life. She is my best friend and the one who talks me out of the freezer with a gallon of Rocky Road Ice Cream. Life seems to be insane in one form or another. Hey wait a minute... this has nothing to do with the girls at all! Sheesh... its all about me tonight. Hmmmm, what can I put in here so I feel better about this post?? Wow... I got nothing! hmmm.... let me think.... (insert blank thought here)...
okay... well since these were suppose to be an every other day kind of postings, this one doesn't count!!

Crazy came ' a callin' and I answered on the first darn ring! Sheesh!

Wow! I made it here again! Woo Hoo for me!! I am so slacking on many things these days. Writing, which has always been my getaway, is beginning to be yet another stress making me breakout like a teenager! UGH!! So I find myself whining more and more like the girls. Hey... sometimes it works, other times it starts a laugh fest. That is when I stomp my feet and head for the nearest door to slam. Not really, but gosh! I really ~ really want to!! We had another birthday (sigh), 36 feels the same as 35! WHAT? C'mon! I want a birthday party for all of my friends at Peter Piper Pizza! And why can't I have a princess birthday cake? Does anyone stop and think, maybe... just maybe a cool rock poster for my room would be appropriate? Oh yes, maybe it is because the inner working of this house is driving me to such a high level of inssanity (so needed that extra 's'), I can't stand myself. I find myself laughing for no reason. A creepy kind of laugh if you can believe this. I want to jiggle my eyeballs and run around the streets with my arms flailing while screaming "COME GET THEM BARNUM AND BAILEY.... COME GET THEM"!! Naw... I'm just venting. Ha ha! I think I would lose myself if the circus came 'acalling' for these precious animals I call daughters. My Rylie smiles and it puts things into place. Her dimples get me every time! Lauren is my wee bit of sanity that whispers in my ear....{ I love you Mommy... you're the best}. Bryanna brings all the chaos into my world right now. Her borderline teenage hood is kicking my butt! I know for a FACT I was not this difficult. I would shine my halo everyday before school, and on the way to the homeless shelter I would stop at the Orphanage to read the kids a story. (is anyone buying this)? Ehhh, okay... well I still wasn't this difficult. It's gonna take more than a whole roll of SHHHHHH Tape for this one!
Okay, so this blog is taking a little longer than I wanted. I contemplated putting in a serious thought, (bleh) made myself a little nausea's. Ewwww! Me? Serious? Ummmmm ... NO! And so with that, lets end on this...Life is only meant to be serious some of the time. Enjoy the laughter while you can. Forgive the imperfections and smile knowing that you and only you can love your kids so much your heart will want to explode!! Smile ~ Laugh ~ Be Happy!!!

Back into the swing of thangs!! Woot Woot!!

Ugh! It seems like forever since I have actually sat down and written anything. My good intentions have become nothing more than a thought that passes through the space between my ears. Summer has passed me by with a pat on the back and a slap in the face. WAKE UP SUNSHINE.... A WHOLE NEW LIFE IS AHEAD!!
My Junior High Princess has become my Junior High Drama Queen with an attitude bigger than that little girl can handle. I keep saying that one of these days her eyes will roll right out of her head. I have started carrying a cup around just in case I need to catch those pretty blues on the way down. I am battling the 'make up' pleadings and the "OMGsh... I'm gonna be late.....AGAIN"! I can only do so much before my brain starts turning into oatmeal. I have started adding milk and sugar already.... breakfast anyone? I was hoping that the summer months would allow me to reload. Hmmm, wishful thinking as always. I truly know better than that, but... it would be so unfair to my spirit if I just came to grips with the fact each year is a little crazier than the last. I have always said I live for chaos. That is still a true statement, however, I think we may need to tweak it a little. I am trying to come up with a new way of describing my life. And OH MY is that ever hard. My girls are still the cause/inspiration/motivation for my insanity, but life has taken a new turn. Insanity now has many meanings and some are proving to be harder than others to get through. I continue to find the humor in everyday life. Humor is what keeps the smile on my face and our feet planted on this quick sand ground we are dragging ourselves through.
Hmmmm, so with this first posting after so long, I will get back into the swing of things and continue on with my funny little stories about my girls as they happen. Thank you for sticking it out with me! Yay!!! I am always happiest when I am making fun of the girls!! Look for an every other day post! I might be able to handle that right now!!! Hoping all of your days are filled with smiles!!! See you very soon! Mwah!
