This Week The News

I’m still married to my husband.  He has invested way too much training into me to run off with a 20 year old.  And he already has six kids, why on earth would he want another?

Did you know that Jon of America’s favorite family is dating the 20 something daughter of the surgeon who gave Kate her tummy tuck?  Just remember, there is no such thing as a free tummy tuck.  Sometimes it comes with your husband’s new girlfriend.  Crystal ball time…would you take a free tummy tuck, if you knew it ended like that?

I’m working on a plan to make a gazillion dollars so that when I die, everyone will want my children money.

I’m so thankful that I’m not rich and popular.   There  is no amount of money I would trade my husband for.

Big Boy is licensed to drive.  Without supervision.  Send money for insurance.  We take paypal.

Speaking of money, if you need any, go to our church.  They are actively encouraging people to take what they need out of the offering.   No peeking people.  I think the unintended consequence of the whole thing will be increased giving.

After last weeks post where I said I tithed, I was informed that Jesus didn’t.  Yes, apparently IRS records on charitable giving go back that far.  Two things here.  A. Don’t care – Jesus had his own thing, whether he tithed or not, isn’t the point.  2.  Just because I jump off a cliff doesn’t mean you have to.  This is my blog, I tell you what I do.  If you then decide that I’m so super cool you want to be like me, feel free to copy me, that is totally up to you.  I suggest you start with taking in an orphan or three.

To answer the only question that matters, G-Force comes out on Friday.  Yes, we’ll be going.  No, I don’t particularly want to, but if it stops the questions….that’s five days, then after that it’s going to be four, then after that….

I’m searching for a solution to all of the questions.  When?  Where? Who? Why?  What time?  If they were each given 20 questions a day they would be used up by 7:00 a.m. Curiosity is going to kill this mom.

We might, just maybe, have a termination filing this week.  The filing comes with a 45 day waiting period, which puts us into the first week of September.  So, maybe my before fall plea to God will be answered.  We are still waiving any right we have to an adoption subsidy.  I trust God way more than the gov’ment to take care of our children.

I have a housekeeper.  All I have to say is YAY!

I succumbed to the world of infomercialism this week.  I bought the Strap Perfect.  Feel free to Google at your leisure.  Basically it is a contraption that turns your regular bra into a racer back.  Perfect for me.   On TV it says it will increase you cup size and improve your posture, whatev.  I bought it because I haven’t found a racerback bra in my size.  Yes, I could buy the $65 Victoria Secret Bra that goes 1000 ways, but really, I only need one more way.  I don’t really need my bra to double as a thong.  And why VS has to pad everything, I’ll never understand.  If you are DD you don’t really need padding.  So Strap Perfect it was.  And I didn’t notice my increased cup size, you’d think hubby would have mentioned though….and my posture??? Not so much, but got rid of the VBS (visible bra strap) so I’m happy.

This whole thing became necessary because of the Old Navy tanks that I am in love with.  I have every color, practically.  Some in racerbacks.  I look awesome in them all.  In summation, since I decided to whittle my life down to 100 items, I have purchased 46 Old Navy tanks and a six pack of Strap Perfect.  A skirt, a t-shirt, and several pair of shoes.

But, I DID get rid of several bags of clothes and 18 pair of shoes.  So, we are at a net deficit.

And really, 100 items?  I’m a capitalist.  It’s my duty as an American to buy things.

We are still debt free.  We had a little plumbing issue and our emergency fund covered.  This months emergency is refilling the fund, for next months emergency.  Yes, it is a never ending cycle.

Yesterday, I heard the song “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?”  Um…Texas.  Good song though.

We are six weeks post LASIK.  My eyes are occasionally dry.  But nothing bad, still feels like I need to take out my contacts sometimes.  My very close vision has not fully returned.  It’s gotten better, but I kind of miss it.  Hopefully one day soon, it will be perfect.

I have spent a lot of time at the pool lately, getting a tan, unfortunately even if I slather them with 78 spf I’ll never catch the kiddos.

I heard a thing about the uniqueness of ones name having to do with the likelihood of them becoming a criminal.  They had a list of the most popular unique names among criminals.

Let’s stop and soak that one in.  If you have a popular unique name, it is no longer unique….Whatev.

It has come to the point in the day where I take the kids to the pool, or risk committing a felony, so we are off to the pool.

Have a blessed week.

    What a busy week with all the bra buying and plumbing issues. I love VS… but maybe it’s because I need the padding ;)
    And I would love to take in an orphan or 2… probably not 3. But it seems the forces are against me.

    Bah ha ha, I just bought the bra strap thingy too. It is odd and uncomfortable but quite frankly so are bra’s. I like that it pulls the straps so they don’t fall down all day long and the strange/ newness of it reminds me to keep my posture. Otherwise, I require massive surgery to increase the appearance of things, so no action there.
    If I may just point out that acquiring a strap buddy package increased your THINGS by 6 in one shot. From my perspective, I have lived with less than 100 things many a time. Not all its cracked up to be.
