Let's Catch Up...

Wow...it's been a while since I last blogged. There are several reasons for that, none of which I intend to blog about, so suffice it to say that I am back and am going to try to do better about sharing my thoughts on random stuff with you, because I know you love it and miss it. :)

Here's some random thoughts to catch up for the past week or so...

• The Bachelor, Jake, chose...*shiver*...Vienna...to be his wife. Ugh. This girl is immature, bratty, trashy, and has crappy hair extensions. I hate the way she talks, and she has crazy eyes. I am pretty sure she's a gold digger. (As Kanye West says, "If you ain't no punk, holla 'We want pre-nup, we want pre-nup!") I know that all of this is very judgemental of me, but she rubbed me, and let's face it - the rest of America -the wrong way from day one. Tenley is such a sweet girl, and I thought she handled being dumped very well. And I wanted to jump up and hug the TV when she said, on the "After the Final Rose" episode (and this is a loose quote), "Do you think it was fair to Vienna to feel like you say you felt about me and then propose to her? Honestly, I have to say I am happy that it wasn't me if you say you were feeling that strongly for the both of us." Good. For. You. Stick that in your juice box and suck it, Jake! Why I think he chose Vienna over Tenley: a) Jake is, obviously, a very physical person. And Vienna has "do me" written all over her. b) Tenley has morals. She probably wouldn't have moved in with Jake quick enough for his liking. Vienna said on the "After the Final Rose" show that she is going to Texas immediately. Whore.
• I am now keeping my neighbor's children again. So, from 7:15am until 5:15pm, my day is filled with a 2 year old little girl and my own 20 month old little boy. There is lots of laughing, lots of crying (mostly by me! haha!), lots of lessons learned (both for the tots and for myself), and lots of playing. After school, the little girl's big brother (who is in Kindergarten), joins us and argues and whines with the little ones. He doesn't have much patience for them, and he tends to whine because he thinks it will help him get his way. It doesn't. If there is one thing that gets on my nerves, it is whining. Despite the whining, he is a funny kid who always comes up with the most hilarious things to say. When I kept them in the fall, he said to me, "Mrs. Ashley I don't think I want the kids to call me (insert his name here) when I grow up." "Well, hun, what would you like for them to call you?" "Oh, I don't know. Mike or John. Something like a man." It cracked me up that this 6 year old was already worried about his manliness. Just this week he said, "Do you know what the wonderful thing about me is?" "What would that be sweetie?" "I love to do homework. And I draw an American flag on it so that if it gets shipped to another country they know it is made in America. And it's got my name on it, so they know who constructed it."
• It snowed here on Tuesday. It was absolutely beautiful as usual, but I am ready for sunny, warm days where I can take Little Man outside for some fun. I am so excited about his first trip to the zoo and trips to the beach and mountains...I am just ready for warmer weather. Not hot weather, mind you...I don't want to be sweaty and miserable...just a nice 70 to 75 degree day would be perfect. Actually, a whole bunch of them in a row would be spectacular.
• Dr. Suess' birthday was Tuesday...I love me some Dr. Seuss! He has so many great quotes. Here's a link that will take you to some.

I leave you with this:

I'm just sayin'...
