Things I Think (When I drink wine)

I said I do not do resolutions.

And I don't!

But strangely enough...some of have been creeping in my brain.  I thought it best to just put them on the screen and publish them.  Maybe I'll keep them or maybe they'll get blown away with the wind.  Who knows?

I call this my If I Made Resolutions List.

1.  I would require my children to always put their dirty dishes in the dishwasher.

2.  I would require my children to be in charge of loading and unloading the dishwasher.

3.  I would never buy another pack of Pull Ups.

4.  Every single night my kitchen would be spotless and the island would be desolate.

5.  I would nap.

6.  My laundry room would not be a catch all.

7.  My car would be spotless every day.

8.  I would drink those nutrition shakes every single day.

9.  I would get 10 hours of sleep.

10.  I would craft every month with my bestie.  Go on an escape every 6 weeks with my hubby.  And take my children to more places out of our area.

Yep...there's my ten...if I made resolutions.

Randomness: Holiday Edition

I haven't written a stream of consciousness post in quite a while.  Why not today?

Random Thoughts on a Thursday

Seniors are the best, most fun group.  I really enjoy working with them.  Note:  As in 12th graders not old people.  



About old people, be nice to them.  Today I witnessed a very rude NCDMV representative rip apart an elderly gentleman.  He was very harsh and condemning of him.  The worst part was the rep did all this in front of a room of waiting people.  You know getting older is tough and being close to 90 years old is a whole new bag of difficult.  Have some respect.



Just because you wear a uniform doesn't make you God.

If you have a high school junior or senior who want to attend a four year college then you need to go straight to The Common Application right this second and get them on the application bandwagon.  This site makes it SO INCREDIBLY EASY!

I switched from my vanilla coffee back to standard run of the mill coffee and it is odd.



I have no desire for anything pumpkin spice at this point in the fall.  Bahahaha that makes me giggle all you fall freaks and your pumpkins on your porch and fall flags waving in the wind.  Disclaimer:  I may have two pumpkins under an oak tree in my backyard.  



Two weeks in a row my kids have/will be enjoying grandparent time.  This is weird but good!  I appreciate some me time!

I have this goal to turn the AC off and not turn the heat on for at least 4 weeks.  I want to see just how low I can get my power bill.  I find these challenges totally fun.  Dork alert.

Admitting, I had a dream the other night that was so real and so scary.  The dream was: I was pregnant (terrible, horrible, bad nightmare) and it was so real I woke up and went to the bathroom, lifted my shirt and verified I was not harboring a basketball belly.  I rarely dream but when I do it is so vivid and real it makes me vomit.

I love weeks where I don't have to cook but for maybe two or three nights with one night consisting of SOUP.

If you need Christmas, Hannukah, or birthday wrapping paper or  I'm your girl.  Seriously, selling it for the next three weeks and it will be in an upcoming blog post!



I really need you to join my Alzheimer's Walk Team.  I have NO ONE on it.  Really it shocks me because I thought more people were wanting to help find a cure in any way possible.  If you think about it joining me to walk and pledging $20 isn't that difficult.  Or just making a donation if you're too far away or not able to walk is pretty awesome.  Get ready to see more promotion of this cause on the blog (again).

Why the crap did that plan fly like twenty feet over my house and scare the bajeezus out of me?



Two books on my read this fall list are:  The Hyacinth Girls & A Fall of Marigolds - anyone read these?

I have got to do some shopping today and it isn't budgeted til like tomorrow.  That's life.

Last week I did that bad movie post and I loved the feed back I received.  I need to critique some more movies I cannot make it past twenty minutes of huh?

My brother turned 20 today.  That's kind of weird.

We need to smile more.

Slightly addicted to mobile patrol app...
