this and that

I wanted to keep this short, But I really just blog for myself so tht I can go back and see what goes on in my head. I will not be organized, I will surely be petty and stupid, and guaranteed boring. Even Mark thinks my blog is boring. He says he starts reading then zones off into his own thoughts. I know, he's so sweet sometimes.

Well, he's a sweet Police officer!!!!! You betcha, officialy. I'm really stoked, but it hasn't really sunk in yet. He goes to orientation on Aug 7. It wil be a whole new chapter for us. Do I detect a normal life ahead?? (now thats sad when I consider police work a normal life...its not like an office job)I can't wait till he gets home tomorrow so we can celebrate!!!!

Anyway back to me ....I rented a steamvac, cleaned my house and yard top to bottom, ready for the landlord to come over for whatever he's coming over for. I'm getting the kids ready and because of some frustrating garage door issues and about 5 other annoying incidents, I had to take a quick shower. By the time I get out.....Dayton had smeared peanut butter(he nimbly retrieved for the cupboard and opened himself) all over my freshly steamed COUCH!!!! My beautiful raspberry couch, covered in litle finger smears of Skippy. One whole arm and the 2 seat cushions. I about lost it. I called Mark so he could calm me down, didn't really work. He said "well since peanut butter gets gum out of stuff, why not try putting gum on it?" Ho ho ho I was not amused. I had to leave it and go to meet the teachers. I get there late, which means no parking within 3 blocks. No way am I walking all that way in 115 degrees so I waited for someone to leave. By the time we get in the school I've run into other parents and I got my game face on and we survived. I managed to get most of it up later with the new spot cleaner I'd just bought at Home Depot.

Oh yeah, and the LL never showed or called. Niiiiice. :P

Just in case you were wondering, the temp gauge on my car today read 122 degrees for about 5 hours while I was out this afternoon. Its usually right on. It was so hot that my eyeballs were burning like I had opened the oven while cooking a turkey and just stuck my head in there to cook. Except it didn't smell good. If you wanted some hot chocolate, theres a bottle of water out in the car. No stove needed. Ok Its AZ, but thats the kind of hot that slaps you across the face. Then tonight, a huge microburst storm that about blew my house down. Freaky.

I had not gone to the gym in 2 days so today I really wanted to do it up right. I spent and hour an a half sweating my rump of(not literally, unfortunatly) and working my legs and a little arms and abs. I may restart with Suzanne so I can finish the week before TN, hmmmmmm just a thought. I really did have a good workout though.

I am so beyond tired right now, I think its the heat, I got almost all the school shopping done and got a good deal on almost everything. Cade is with Mark, Sadie is at a sleepover, so just the 3 little guys are home, but not settling down too easily. I am REALLY looking forward to school monday and a ROUTINE again. I do so much better! Its 9:30, I'm gonna crash!!
