Mice

I don't really have a mouse story, I just was inspried to share this video because over at A Nut in a Nutshell she is talking about mice invasions and I can relate. These are the first videos I ever watched on my first computer back in 1995. I still like them and they bring a smile to my face whenever I come across them.

Men have Mood Swings Too

Why is it ok for a man to be moody? If you ask them what's wrong they grunt "nothing". Meanwhile, since there is nothing wrong they growl and bark when spoken too.

I think I need to give my husband one of these buttons. Not for me because I know when he is in a funk but for himself, so he will stop saying he isn't. (growling and hissing).

Life's Bumps in the Road

Yesterday I attended a funeral for a 19 year old young man that I have known since he was 5. He was a member of the National Coast Guard. On December 28th he was returning from Oregon to Idaho, he was to be transfered to VA. It was icy and snowing and he rolled his car and died.

It was a difficult day for a variety of reasons but inparticular one very selfish reason. In October of 09 my then 16 yo daughter rolled her car trying to get home quickly because she was somewhere she shouldn't have been and didn't want to get caught. I was at the emergency room with my son at the time, who had an unknown virus attcking his body, when I get a call from another county hosiptal that my daughter is on her way there from the accident. She was fine, not a scratch on her, the towing yard told us that the car was so smashed that it was half of its size. He also told us he had no idea how anyone could have survived.

I looked at the casket of this young man who had so much going right in his life and asked the question that everyone asks at a funeral - why? I am grateful that Savanna survived, I just wish she didn't take it for granted that she was given a second chance.

Go Bronco's!!!!

That's right I am a college student at

Not really sure where that came from, I don't even like football much. But I felt like I should do my part to spread the cheer since BSU is in the

Game is on here starting at 6pm and yes I will be watching, eating and most importantly reading blogs!

Go Bronco's!

Movies

We are all big movie fans here at my house, so occasionally I think I will share some of the winners and losers of our movie experience.  This week we watched:

This was ok, no one in the house is a super fan but we've seen them all. I didn't like this one as much as the previous only because this is the first one that doesn't finish it's story line. In all the others he killed a snake, one a race, etc. But this movie ends like a sequel and I didn't like that.

G-Force will not win any Oscars but it won't make the worst movie ever made list either. When I asked my man if he liked it  he said it was ok and that the time went by fast. Which is a thumbs up when you are watching a kids movie. Nicolas Cage does one of the voices and you would never know it until the credits at the end.

I really liked this movie. Zech (14yo) told us about it after they watched part of it in one of his classes. Warning it is long, 3 hours and if your children still believe in Santa Claus then don't watch it. This movie is a cross between The Nightmare Before Christmas (no singing though) and think Sci Fi channels Tin Man or Alice and add a little Harry Potter. It has Death, Wizards, monsters, good guys, bad guys and Christmas all rolled in one. This movie is going on our movies we watch at Christmas time list!

All alone in a house full of boys

I wasn't going to post today, but I am hiding out in my room because my house has been taken over by 4 teenage boys and one one non-teenage boy (who is being pouty). My man is at a coaches clinic (coaches the jr. high ski team). The poor thing has to be up on the mountain in meetings for one hour and then ski the rest of the day - alone!

While I sit here I can hear my pantry door opening and closing, I think they are eating everything I just bought yesterday.

I was doing really well on excerising everyday until the man stayed home from work yesterday and then today my livingroom has been taken over....I think I am losing my superhero strength of will.

First Day of the New Years

I was clicking through by brain for something whitty to write about on this grand frist day of the new year but all my vaults are empty. I was going to tell you how much my man grosses me out when he has a cold. You know he has some mucus and then feels the need every 10 minutes to hack up his lung and spit it out. But I think I'll try to find something not so unpleasant to talk about. Nope nothing comes to mind so I'm going to borrow Candice's idea (thanks). Here are some photo's from 2009 that make me feel good.
