Last Day to Register to Vote!

I am a huge procrastinator and inherently lazy - so I wait until the last minute to do everything.

Yep. I've lived here for two years now and never registered to vote in this county.

I'm to blame for not voting in local officials who will push for a Target and Chik-Fil-A to open in our area. It's my fault. I take the blame.

Anyway, Sim called today and "gently" reminded me that I need to get off my tail and register before 5:00 pm today.

Notice how I put gently in quotation marks? Yeah. Because it didn't really happen that way.

That's called sarcasm, my friends.

Seems I'm married to a man who is also a procrastinator and who has been in this country for twelve years and is still not a U.S. citizen. Which means, 'ol Brit Boy can't vote in the upcoming Presidential election. And he's hoping that I'll cast my vote for him.

Hmmm.. we'll see. Although we agree on MANY issues, I say that if anyone ever hurt my family or one my kids, I wanna that see that sucker fry. Just saying.

Wow. Where did that venom come from? Hard to believe I used to be the campus advisor for Amnesty International.

That was before I became a mama and the thought of some $#%@! doing something to one of my kids makes me want to do things that will put me in jail.

Geez Louise. Did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or what?

I need to get another cup of coffee and a Reese's.

Is there a reason for this post this morning?

Oh yeah. Today's the deadline to register to vote. I honestly have no idea who I'm going to vote for. I am so liberal on so many issues... but conservative on many others. Maybe I should run for president.

Ha! Did you get your laugh in this morning? I was hoping I could make you giggle with that statement and cause your Monday to be a bright brighter. :-) See, I'm thoughtful like that.

Here's the link to register online. Don't forget that you have to have it postmarked by 5:00pm today in order to vote:

Happy Monday!

Oh, and if you stumbled upon this blog by accident this morning - I just want you to know that I'm not really a grumpy cow. I'm PMS'ing. Why my PMS ends up lasting 4 weeks out of the month, I'll never know.

Yes, you made me laugh this morning. =)

I know we are registered to vote, but Aaron's been bugging me for a week or two to find our voter's registration cards. I found his after about an hour of searching through every drawer and cabinet in the house LAST NIGHT, but I can't find mine. I'm really hoping my drivers license will do!

Can we use a driver's license? I could've saved a 42 cent stamp! :-)

Yes, hydra12, I know who you are. I checked out your blog. The words: 35, Japanese anime, and geek did the trick. Hello, Mark! (my twin brother). Actually, it was the word "geek" that gave away your identiy. hee hee.

The Answer to Noah's Shirt Chewing...

NOTE: If you came across this page by googling "Shirt Chewing", please click here for the most recent post on Noah's shirt chewing. Thanks! Sugar. Who knew that five little letters could wreck such havoc? As I've mentioned before, Noah has a terrible shirt chewing habit. I can't quite remember when it all started, but we all noticed that it STOPPED completely when we were in Austin. The only thing that was really different was his diet - since we were living out of a hotel for a week. When we got home, we racked our brains to figure out what it was.... what food triggered Noah' s shirt chewing. We were home about 2 days when Noah started chewing again. Agave Nectar. Sim had put agave nectar on Noah's waffles. We took the agave nectar out of his diet and the next day, the chewing decreased. A few days later, I gave him a peanut butter and jelly rice cake. He started shirt chewing. It had to have been the jelly.. which goes to show that just because it's

Acceptance and Moving Forward

It's been so long since I posted here. I wasn't even sure that I would remember my password. And, actually, I really haven't planned anything to write out, but I just had this overwhelming urge to post today. Maybe so that I can look back on this post next year and see how far we've come, I'm not sure. But here we are... and here I am.... 2016 was a challenge. Not just for our family, but for everyone it seems. I look around and 2016 just seems to be a year of hurt. It was a tough year on so many levels.  A little over a year ago, on December 23, 2015, we were told that my husband most likely had a certain lung condition that gave him only three years to live. We are so fortunate that it was NOT what they thought, but it led us straight into 2016 full of fear and despair.... feelings which continue all the way through today.... and may lead into 2017. To condense a very long story that's full of grief and misdiagnoses and full on panic attacks (for me), I wi

Noah said, "I love you, Mom"!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can't believe it!!! I walked by him sitting at the table and kissed him on the head and said, "Have I told you this morning how much I love you?" And he said, "Iduvumum" Of course, I was stunned. And I said, "Noah, did you just say, "I love you mom? Yes or No?" And he said, "Esssss" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Of course I cried. And called Sim. And called my mom. And Noah was so pleased with himself that he took me by the hand and led me straight to the TV so that he could watch an Elmo video. I guess he thought, "Hey, I told you I love you, so now I get a freebie." This officially goes down in history as the best day of my life. (Doing carthwheels and happy dances and thanking Jesus). Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
