It's March

Impressed with my creative blog titles? If you are, your standards are really low. And that's perfect for what I am about to write.

Even though I don't blog much I still think about it a lot. Little moments happen throughout the day and I think, "This would make a great blog post." And then life goes on, til the next blog-worthy moment, and I think it again.

I feel like I am super busy these days. Whether it be physically busy (i.e.taking care of my kids, driving to/from preschool, karate, work, plasma donating, babysitting other peoples babies, housework, etc) or emotionally busy (i.e.stressing, worrying, depressing, stewing, fantasizing of vacations/days at Lagoon/my husband 8-)).

And because I'm super busy lately, I have found the last thing I want to do with my precious time is blog or Facebook. So I deactivated my facebook. And when I had some free time, I cleaned out and vacuumed my Tahoe. Wow. The things you can get done. But then I was having withdrawals and activated again. The last few days I've logged in once per day. (As I am sure most of you do...and you are not like me and logged in like 5, 6, ok... 20x's per day) But today, again. I deactivated. My life will not end if I don't know what you are doing today and what funny thing your kid said/did.

But I won't stop blogging. As little as I do it, I'll still do it. Maybe even kick it up a notch since I won't be Facebooking. No...probably not.

SIMPLIFY.

That is my motto. I don't care/worry so much about everyone else. I care/worry about my family and myself.

Things I'm not happy about:

1. Kooy will be going to Bellview Elementary this fall and NOT the charter school we were hoping for. Matt and I are extremely disappointed. We'll try again every year til it happens. But looking on the bright side: Kooy will still get a great education. Kooy gets to ride the bus. And to him that is just the bees knees! He'll go to the school his Grandma works at. (If she's rehired for next year of course) It's not what we wanted but there's nothing wrong about it.
2. I haven't lost weight like I wanted. I've lost 8 or 9. But then gained it back. Whatever. LIke I said, not what I wanted but nothing wrong with it.
3. I have to roll down driver's side window and use the handle on the outside of door to get out of my Tahoe. (My fault. I broke the handle. Easy fix.)
4. Wendy's was out of ketchup the other night. Really? Really!? Wow. Someone should get fired over that one. I drove over the McDonald's, parked, grabbed some off their counter, while muttering something about forgetting to ask for it.
5. Reality Shows. Either I'm smarter or they are getting dumber. And I'm not talking about the subject matter. It's the staged conversations that I despise. We love the Cake Boss, but I never feel like I really know what it's like in the kitchens. It's all staged circumstances and conversations to make a TV show. LAME-O!
6. Church callings. I'm kind of in a bad spot with that right now. We both are. Love the church. Testimony is stronger than ever. But really considering going inactive just to get a little more time on our hands. Kidding (because we won't), but not kidding (because we want to). We are both in presidencies. His is more time consuming than mine, I admit. But his time, is our time. You know? Can't wait til I'm old enough that they don't want my services anymore and I can just show up for church, hear a nice little message, learn about some scripture, take some sacrament and go home.

Things I AM happy about:

1. Spring is here. I love Spring. (...and Fall. I'm an inbetweener I guess)
2. We bought season tickets to Lagoon. It was our consolation for not going to Disney this year. Opening day is April 2nd. But were not going. It's Conference weekend and Matt hates missing Priesthood Session. And our Bulk Clean-up day is April 4th. We will be cleaning the yard and putting things out to curb that day. We'll be going April 9th...weather permitting. And then every other week til the end of October!!
3. Kooy is in karate. He loves it and in his prayers every night says he thankful he gets to be in karate. He has his white belt (which you pretty much get just for showing up to class the first day). He got his first tab the other night. I don't really know what that means except you have to have so many tabs before you can test for your next belt.
4. I moved our bed to the "Summer" location. There are only two spots to put our bed. Summer is under the window, over the heat vent. "Winter" is along the south wall.
5. I love my hair. I read a friends blog and she said she has started washing her hair only twice a week. So I started to. I used to wash it everyday. Now I wash every three days. And I have come to prefer the hair-days that I do not wash.
6. I bought some MaryKay Timewise Cleanser and Moisturizer. I love IT too. I can tell already that I look younger. Just kidding. But they say the younger you start using it, the better you'll look when you are 80. I plan on looking 34 the rest of my life.
7. Our monthly camping trips we've planned and booked for the summer. There will be four. Can't wait. Love camping.
8. Peyton is taking a nap right now and Kooy and his friend are jumping on the trampoline. When kids play by themselves and they are not bugging me to entertain them...that makes me happy.
