Here it goes. I always have lots of random thoughts, so let’s see what I can pull out of this ‘ol noggin.
Hubband’s days off are a double-edge sword. Love having him here but damn it all if he doesn’t screw up our routine every single time. The kids go nuts from the extra time they get to spend with him. When he’s awake, that is.
I am incredibly, insanely, boringly AVERAGE. I have yet to stumble upon that one thing that just flat out strikes my fancy. I can’t sew, I’m an average cook, an average housekeeper. I have a black thumb, I’m always behind on laundry, I don’t have an artistic bone in my body. This is something I’ve been working on this lately. I think it’s a large part of the funk I’ve been feeling since we moved to a new town.
I’ve never been incredibly outgoing. I’m most likely to be found sitting in the back of the room, silently watching what’s going on. This carries over to my blogging, too. I read a lot of blogs but am usually hesitant to comment & try to find new bloggy friends.
So. Hello internet. I like to blog & I like to read your blog. Want to be friends?
Oh, and internet? I’d love a new look for this page but have about -0293843 experience when it comes to designing pretties for my page. I couldn’t even figure out how to upload a picture instead of the boring ‘ol “Chronicles of Bear & Roo” at the top. Anyone wanna help? Anyone?
Potty training sucks. Recently Bear has hit a total wall with it. She’d rather pee on the floor & then come tell me what she did than use the potty that is sitting 2. feet. away.
I hate being stuck in the rut of renting, which I’ve done for the last 7 years. But the thought of taking on a mortgage makes my stomach turn. We make what is essentially a house payments worth of student loan payments every month & that blows. I know we can afford it but the thought of adding another payment like that to our monthly bills makes me want to barf.
Max & Ruby is my least favorite cartoon out there. I refuse to let Bear watch it. If I ever heard her talking to Roo like Ruby does Max, I would be so mad!
Ever wonder what in the world that parent was thinking when they came up with the phrase “Do you want a spanking?” Seriously? What kid is going to say yes to that?
Head on over to http://www.theunmom.com/ for more randomness & to join in the fun.
The internet says hi. It’ll get back to you on the friends thing.
Just kidding! My little corner is anyway. Can’t speak for the rest of it.
Also, the mortgage thing is scary but we just bought a house in a $ range where the mortgage payments equalled out to what our rent already was. Later we re-financed and added our student loan debt to the mortgage – saved us about $200 a month.
Hey Cara!!
How fun you have a blog too 🙂 I’m horrible at scrapbooking…actually writing things down and printing pictures, so THIS where my memories go! I love your kiddo’s nicknames…We call Barrett “little bear” or “mister b”. We’re all about nicknames too…I love it!
I would be happy to help you with your blog, if you want. Just let me know. You can email me elephantjuicedesigns@gmail.com
Happy Tuesday (I’m late). My husband just started working from home full time and it’s definitely an adjustment to have him here. That’s all I’ll say on that topic.
I’ll be your bloggy friend. I’m average across the board too.
Potty training, ugh. I dread starting it but I think it’s time. Good luck to you.
