Wordless Wednesday's

I know it is Thursday...But I was not able to upload yesterday...:)

Facecrack...

I hate facebook...It has consumed my life. I have turned into one of those husbands that play video games into the whee hours of the night. Ignoring their children and their wives. The next step in the addiction would be Not showering for days.
I feel it coming. I am going to have to cancel my facecrack account if that happens.

Darn you 25 things, darn you Bejeweled Game, darn you status stupid updates, darn you friend requests!!

If you don't have a facebook account..DON"T do it!! You have no idea how it will suck you in! It will take over your life. One friend is all you need to be an addict.

At first I was excited over the friend request...Log in over morning coffee and BAM! you have people wanting to be your friend..I don't know if the really want to be your friend because most of the time you would be to shy to say anything to them in public. I wonder if all 200 of my "friends" would come to my funeral or send me money if I need it.

Do you how many people I talk to who actually sneak themselves off-line and then just refresh the home page to see what everyone else is doing? I wouldn't know I don't abuse my facecrack like that.

I also know that if where really honest on our status updates people will remove us from their friends or think we are really messed up. Would people really want to know this?

Tiffiny is yelling at her kids to not jump off the kitchen table.
Tiffiny is drinking her 3rd glass of wine
Tiffiny has not removed her butt from this computer for 1 hour and 31 minutes.
Tiffiny has packed her bags she is looking to run away.
Tiffiny should not have been out so late and now is a crabby at her kids.

Oh, and you Bejeweled game...I read about you...It says that it is for gaming and just for fun...Give me break...you team me up with MY friends and rank me and you say it just for fun!?! I am a LOSER...I can't beat Jenn or Leah if I tried...and every time I log in it tells me someone has kicked me out of my spot...c'mon Bejeweled...your not nice..your like a mean cousin who teases you and then says it was just for fun...IT is NOT fun when your the LOSER...and people rank over you!!

Anyways...I am off to lie on my status..Play a game or two or hundred and then crawl into bed and VOW never to touch that nasty Faecrack again.

#3...

I tried to get the computer to randomly draw the lucky number comment but I was having problems figuring it out..Okay, My kids where screaming in the background. One was trying to body slam the other as one was yelling at them to use their hands for helping not hitting.

So I had them pick a number between 1-10 and then they argued like all good kids and chose the number 3..well actually Olivia wanted 3 because she is 3 years old!! So the WINNER is Ms. Leah Roorda!! YIPPEEEE SKIPPEEE!! I will deliver your goodies on Friday!!

All of you keep stalking me for the 10,000 views giveaway!! I have some fun things planned!! Oh, I love this...Thanks for making my days brighter you big LOVABLE audience!

Not Me Mondays

Hello my faithful follower's!! Hello my new found blogging friends!! Here is to another week of the NOT Me's. I don't know if you guys truly enjoy the every Monday post but I do..and I am going to do it just so my kids will some day see that I am not perfect..HA..like they need a blog to tell them.

It was NOT me who tried so hard to dodge the cute little faces outside the grocery store selling those no good poison cookies. It was NOT me who could not resist just a few more boxes to my already depleted stash. I did NOT just tell the whole world that I have a problem with those cookies.
It was NOT me who put juice in the bottle because ran out of milk and could not pull off going to the store tight then and there. It was NOT me who grounded the boys on their 4 day weekend due to bad grades and attitudes and it was NOT me who used them as yard boys.
It was NOT me who had NO guilt doing NOTHING on Sunday to the point her husband actually commented on the house and loaded and unloaded the dishwasher 2 times!

Have a great week!! I am still working on my Frugal Fridays!! I have some great stuff!!

I have noticed I have to use two !! every time :)!!

Maybe...

Maybe I am just worn out. Maybe I am depressed. Maybe I am missing a vitamin. Maybe I need the sun to fill me up with some good ol' vitamin D ( I am SOO low..like number 13 LOW!) Maybe I need an overnight trip away? Would that really work? Maybe a housekeeper? What would it take so I can get past this hurdle? 10 hours of sleep?

I find myself not wanting to leave the house. It seems like way to much work to go anywhere and the whirlwind that is created by us just trying to leave the house is NOT worth it. I have every drawer open in the little kids room, my clothes all over the floor, the living room looked like Toys R US threw up in the middle of it. My bathroom looks like the health and beauty Isle at Target after My kids have gone through it.

Do you know that it takes approx. 30 minutes per house member to get ready to leave? I am serious. 3 HOURS..3 hours I am busy trying to get out the door. If we need to do it fast we can..but that only means one thing...BIG FAT MESS awaits me when I get home. That leads me to the next area..why do I struggle so much with making sure that this house is perfect at all times? I want more from this parenting adventure!!! What can we do with no money or very little money? What can we do with 2 different age groups of kids?

I can't wait to hear form you!! I need inspiration!!..or maybe a housekeeper.

It is as easy as 1-2-3..

So how do you win the giveaways!?!

It is easy...Just leave a comment...how do you do that? If you do not have a blog you are going to set up an account. enter your email address and a password and from there you can leave comments on ANY blog. I set mine up so you do NOT have to enter in any cheese letters or numbers..saving you valuable time...

Then from there on MONDAY!!! We will be doing a random number generator to see who will win the gifts...what it will do is pick a number and if it is 23 and your the one who left the 23rd comment..you are the winner. See how easy cheesy it is!?!

I have included a few special treat along with the Slo Day Designs goodies. You will LOVE the goody bag!

Quicker Picker Upper

I open the fridge door to make a bottle for my screaming 1 year old and with all the commotion from the others I didn't notice the raspberry ice-tea was not sitting on the shelve very well. Yep, not good. Red sticky juice all over the floor ,1 gallon of pure redness running under the stove, red and yukky.

I quickly reach for the towel..I change my mind..red will equal stains and I am not the type to run it to the washer that moment. Okay, not in the next day or that week....it will grow mold on it before it makes it to the wash.

I grab the paper the towels...I watched them SOAK it up...it dawned on me..they are Brawny!! The Quilted Quicker Picker Upper!! I love them!! I am ALWAYS going to buy them. It happened to be the first time I bought them..thanks to the coupon that Costco was offering and the fact I HATE my slider door all grimey looking..I hate it so much I added it to the everyday chore list for the boys.

Plus who can resist the strong handsome man on the package!?!



Anywhoo...Never, ever, ever buy anything else other then Brawny..when the red juice hits the floor you will be so thankful and you will always be thinking of me.

**I was NOT paid for this, I truly LOVE their snazzy paper towels.***

Corned YUCK...

I tried that corn beef and cabbage and I think it is a cross between fat slimed spam and soggy bacon. It was not a hit among my family. Matthew being the sweet kid he is was super nice at telling me just how gross it was...

Matthew: Hey mom, I don't want to hurt your feelings after the hard work you put into dinner but it is NASTY!!

Me: Hard work? Nope, crock pot did the hard stuff...and yes, my son grab a bagel...that stuff is nasty.

But the spam gone wrong was not thrown away...Mikey liked it!! Mikey likes anything...

8,000 Hits!!

I know..I know..Small things give me such JOY!! The Story of Our Life has received 8000 hits!! That only means 3 things...

1) You are BORED and find yourself blog stalking me

2) You really care about the ramblings of our life

Thursday's with Tiffiny

I am Thankful For.....

for having the 2 older boys home today. Yes, I am a slave driver and they are my slaves. They think I am their personal ATM...we are cleaning out the garage and the down stairs craft room...HA!!It is not really a craft room....I am NOT crafty!! Nope, not me. I like to use the would craft...it sounds better then "my crap room"

Jeremy is bringing his store home. Don't know the exact date yet...but we are needing to prepare.

I am Listening to.....

The fish tank...Everyone is still asleep..


What's for dinner?

We are trying corned beef in the crock pot..They had it for 4.00 at Safeway!! Never tried it but it is meat...add brown gravy and I am SURE the boys will eat it. everything is better with brown gravy.

I am looking forward to....

Cleaning the garage...the "crap room"...the yard...Very ambitious with the kids free time.

I am Missing....

the winning lottery ticket...it must be inside the MISSING Boy Scout Shirt.

**** If you could all bow your heads and say a little (OKAY HUGE BIG)prayer that I find that thing over the next 2 days...I need to replace it by Tuesday and it is like 75.00*****
