oh if you could see this house.  i am having one of those days. it happens.  i feel like i can't stay on task with one thing for the life of me.  roaming in the cupboards like i have a tape worm.  allowing the kids to eat junk food and browse the Internet all evening...ugh!  let me out!

i attempted to hang some more decorations but then that led to joshua and i playing with him in a basket then i got a phone call and bam-the adult ADD kicked in full force!  i was happy to b distracted by a phone call though.  it was my mother. we had a nice chat for quite some time.  she was telling me about her hemorrhoids-JUST KIDDING MOM!  I know she reads this every day so I thought I would get a rise out of her. lol.  Anyway-as I was saying i was talking to her on the phone and it reminded me of when i was little and my mom would get to yakking on the phone with her mom.  i always knew when she would get on the horn with grandma that i had a good hour to do whatever I wanted  And that is exactly what went on when I was on the phone.  The kids were free to do whatever and I wouldn't even know.

I am on the fence about whether to head to this home school group tomorrow or stay home.  I have a feeling that these people will be lacking what I like to call Holy common sense.  You see, I believe in God and I talk to my kids daily about Him but I also shout the words "God damn it" on a regular basis.  Bad habit, yes.  Makes me a non-christian. no!  Sometimes theses Christian groups focus so much on being perfect that they are forgetting that we are all sinners.  For some reason I am not feeling led to attend tomorrow.  I am a firm believer in following your gut and right now I am not feeling it.  Tomorrow is a new day and we shall see what it brings.

Now-onto politics...is it November yet?  Geesh.  I have thought a lot about talking to the kids about the general idea of what is going on right now but I decided I would spare them of the garbage.  The only thing I will be teaching them about the election is a count-down as to when it will all be over!  Probably a sour attitude but I think this election brings out the worst in people.  I have seen so many arguments on facebook between people and and they end up in a huge disagreement.  Whatever happen to the rule "don't discuss politics or religion with friends or family".  So many people are so outright with their opinions and it never ceases to amaze me the things that people will talk about and then in the next breath they are back pedaling and apologizing for what they said.  Just keep your thoughts to yourself, go vote and hope it turns out the way you want it to.

well, i am going to go take a bubble bath with all three kids lol.  seems like the only solution to the funk that i am in this evening.  of course i would prefer to take a bubble bath by myself but if i start a bath with the door shut it takes less than 5 seconds for the kids to burst in and ask me why i am in the bathroom by myself...as if i am doing something wrong!  But one thing is for sure-i know that in 10 years the kids will shudder at the idea of taking a bubble bath with me...so for tonight i say "come on in, kids".

Peace. World.

i wonder what this feels like?
