Random Little Tidbits.

  • I have made it my goal to blog more.  I read others, so why not contribute more to mine.  It's been lonely. 
  • I have a new obsession with tea.  I love it.  I drink it all day long.  I was out of tea the other day and the only kind I had left was "smooth move".  It tasted great, just like "Sleepytime".  Well, lets just say it lives up to it's name.  The Chai Tea Keurigs are a nice little treat.  Only 60 calories.
  • Our house has been invaded by mice.  Ahhh.....i know.  So gross.  Travis caught one coming through the fireplace.  Seriously.  Ew.  Another reason why I want a new house, now!
  • We've had a Wii for a few years now and have never used it.  Until a few weeks ago...Cash was sick, we couldn't go and do anything, so we went and bought some games.  Holy hell, I am obsessed.  The Cabellas hungting game witht the rifle is my favorite.  Cash and I play all day long.  The trigger wouldn't work last night and it was if the world had ended, I was so sad.  Also, Presley tears up the dance floor with Just Dance 3.  It's hilarious and actually a pretty good work out.  I work up a sweat. 
  • Speaking of new house.  I want one so bad.  We've outgrown this one by a lot.  I've only got a few items on my "must have" list:  a pantry so big that I can have a dance party in it, seperate walk-in closets because if you've seen my closet...it's a bit of a disaster and I need as much room as I can get, and a HUGE laundry room.  With LOTS of counter space and a nice big sink. 
  • Violet has turned into a toddler.  The toddler that has screaming, melt-down crying fits while laying face down on the floor.  Yea.  Btw....toddlers are the WORST, especially when you have 3 at the same time!
  • I held baby Celine and almost for a split second I wanted another.  I MISS babies.    She's such a perfect little girl. 
  • So I've spent the past few days taking down Christmas decorations.  I must admit, it makes me sad.  All this preparation for the holidays and then it's over in one day!  Iam already for next year.  But, I think I need to plan a weekend spa retreat to help me recover from it.  I am exhausted.  But, it's nice to get back to a routine and a more simple/laid back life.
  • Sushi,  I wish Ellensburg had a good sushi restaurant.  When I lived in Woodinville, Travis and I would meet my Dad and Maureen at Hana sushi every Wednesday.  I miss it.
  • I have been thinking a lot about my New Year resolutions.  I don't think they are very realistic for me, since I am not very good at sticking to anything, so I am going to just try to be less stressed.  Mostly with the kids.  I am going to try to gain more patience and maybe not care so much about the little things.  I want to be happy.  I mean, I am happy, but just more visably so. 
  • Laundry.  It's my nemesis.  Seriously.  NEVER ENDING.  Hate it with a passion!  Does anyone else feel like this?  Once it's done, I feel like I've accomplished so much, then 15 minutes later, I have a pile.  I HATE piles.  I HATE folding.  I HATE putting it away.  You get the idea?
Cheers to 2012!!

Craig always says I am terrible at laundry since I am really bad at the folding part. I blame A&F for both of our hatred of folding the piles.

Next year after Christmas we are going on a wine tasting and spa weekend. We will both finally not be pregnant or breastfeeding for the first time in five years so we are going to celebrate!

I love your facts and the fact that you want a new house because of mice.

LOVE IT!

I'm happy you are going to blog more. I love your updates!!!
Stupid mice. I dealt with so many up in these dumb mountains they don't even scare me anymore...they are just sick! ...and the wii has become a staple in our house too. Of course...Lightning Flippin' McQueen. I've become a racing master though (and secretly like it). And yes, laundry is just stupid. I have a new plan for the new house...excited for it. Yay. Miss you bunches!!!
