My body hurts. I decided to clean my house. I mean a deep clean, get rid of things, send things to goodwill .. etc.. it's just wow.. yesterday I threw away 6 big boxes and I have like 5 piles of clothes to give away to good will. A lot of it is hard to let go of, but alas, it's time for it to move on. (and that was just out of the master bedroom and closet alone. heh.. ) I am not 100% done with that room yet, I keep telling myself one room at a time. The next place is the kitchen, then craft area, and living room. Then Walker's bedroom (which has a lot of just stuff in it, meaning hidden things the closets etc...) hopefully by the end of all of this I feel a bit more organized.

So, I am in there working on the house, Charlie took Walker shopping, and Brin is being really quiet. I peek out the door, and she is sitting on the new futon.. with chocolate sauce.. All over her, all over the futon, all over the futon pillows (which by the way, don't come off) ... LOVELY say I.. Just lovely. I am not even sure how to respond, I tell her not to move and start the shower, and she hides from me, with a chocolate trail on the ground.. So, instead of taking a break for a bit while she takes a nap, I am cleaning! .. woo hoo! heh .. yay. 

What did you think you would never ever do... but did?

Dress my daughter in pink. I just don't do pink. But yes, alas, most of my daughters clothing is infact. Pink. Pink pink pink. She wears so much pink that I have a seperate load in the laundry for all of the pinks and reds. 

The single most insulting thing you can ask a parent is "So, do you have a real job?" What type of question is that.. A real job.. No, I just am pretending at being a parent. There was a study done a few years ago, and it was based on what a stay at home mother (or father) would make. It was something in the ball park of over $130,000 a year. ( according to this study). But really, I am not sure how people can ask that question. I've gotten into debates, and even lost "friends:, over the fact that I do not 'work' outside of my home. I don't see the point. I'll be damned if I let someone else raise my children.

The above was a saved draft from a few days ago... this is now :D

It's amazing how many things gmail collects. I just went through my account, see I normally have a modest amount of mb in my gmail account. Lately it's been 7-8 and I've been wracking my brain to figure out why.. I've discovered why. I had messages in my 'sent' folder from 2004! ... So I've gone through it now, and am down to 3mb.. which is pretty good :D

Brin woke me up at the lovely hour of 5 am. I am not even sure why I am fuctioning, I am so tired it's not even remotely funny. I've reinstalled the Sims 2, Sims Pet's, Sims University, Sims Family Fun, and Glamour Life (or some variation of that), and I am currently building a house, I am not even sure why, it is a fun game, at times, othertimes it's simply annoying. heh :D Mr. Fishey is doing well, though this lily plant that is in there, is getting rather huge, I was there was a way to stop the growth of the plant.

I am deviating from my normal course of reading, and picked up "Interview with the vampire", I doubt the author needs introduction. I am amazed at why I skimmed this book in highschool, the way she writes, it's not that hard to believe that people fell in love with her characters. However, I find her to be an complete hypocrite now (since she has 'found jesus').. Anyways, the book is good thus far, and it's nice to read again. You get into sporatic moments where you just don't have time to read in your life, and I find that to be extremely depressing. So I've made the time. I am also reading a bit more to the kids which is good, though I still have problems with some reading outloud, especially Dr. Suess, however I find that I can make up a story fairly well! .. Darn speech impediments! heh...

It';s getting cold here, and the ground was frosted over this morning, I love the fall, when the green gives way to golden hues, I just wish I was able to find the right temperature for my house!

Well, I wish you all a wonderful day! 

So a bit disturbing... MYspace has been on the news a lot lately, mostly about men looking to solicit dates from young girls.. And alas, I've been solicitated!! Yes, a couple from Myrtle Beach, is looking to 'hook up with me' for some 'bi fun'.. With the submitted picture .. Her being 6 foot and about 400 lbs, and him being 5'7" and about 100 lbs.. mmm Yes, sign me up!! *insert roll eye smiley here*

Today Brin turns 2, It's already been a difficult day.. This morning she woke up, and was sitting on the couch when I pulled out the box I put together for her last night, which had in it Littlest Pet Shop toys (6 in all), A blanket (She is a Linus baby), and a brand new Cabbage Patch Kid, that has brown hair and green eyes just like her. She's been hugging the doll "named Shirley" all morning, and playing with the Littlest Pet shop toys.. Now.. I bought her LPS because I also collect LPS for my pullips and she loves to play with them, so I figured I'll get her some of her own. So I did. Anyways, about an hour ago, was the mother of all tantrums, she was screaming so hard she was shaking. I took that as a sign that she was tired and laid her down (The entire time, the song "It's my party and I'll cry if I want too" is running through my head). She is blissfully sleeping, with, all of her LPS and half of mine, curled up in her new blanket with her doll next to her as well ... She is so spoiled :D

I think I have a name for Afternoon, I want to call her London, but I am not sure if anyone else has a doll named London, so perhaps I will find another name.. Anyways, I hope everyone has a great day =)

If you are going to dress up for Halloween, what will you be? Why?

Every year since I can remember, I've been one of three things, a Witch, A vampire, or a Ghost (With the exception of two years, once when I was 6 my grandmother got me into a princess costume in which I traded for a witch, and when I was 12, I was a 'ran over' person..) However, this year, I am passing that tradition on to my daughter and I am going as a pirate!
