Random musings today.............
My friend Kris 'blog -tagged' me to make this list so I can't pass up writing about me! Here are the rules:
The Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their 8 things) and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Here we go:

1. I don't like opening packaged biscuit cans. I will wake up someone in the house (if I can) before opening it myself. Ask Jen - she just experienced it with pizza dough.
2. I'd much rather have an extra glass of wine at dinner than a dessert. Any dessert except for maybe Key Lime Pie, depends on how I'm feeling that day.
3. Most of the time, my idea of clean is a 'once over'. I'm not that freaky about germs.
4. I don't like it when my sheets are not tucked in at the bottom of my mattress. It's too much of a mess if you are not tucked in at night.
5. I read the paper every day and always read the obituaries. Some people have some really good stories and led some interesting lives. My mom reads them too so sometimes we have conversations about people we don't even know!
6. Sometimes I dream that all my teeth fall out.
7. I secretly want a dog. I can bring home many things without my husband knowing but I can't figure out how to get a dog in the house. Plus, I have to build a fence so don't drop any strays on my porch yet!
8. I have been known to play on Webkinz by myself.

There you go. I only know one other person who blogs so you are it Valarrie! Have fun! Can't wait to see what you write.

As for us, we went to Port Aransas for a few days with the family. The water was warm and the kids loved it. It was pretty relaxing but a wise friend once said that you must call your vacation only a vacation when it's you and your husband, otherwise it is a family trip. Because you are really just taking your same show on the road. There are always meals to plan, snacks to have and bathroom trips to make. The one plus we had this year was that we didn't have to have naps so the day was ours. We got a little too much sun one day, but other than that, we had a great time. Plus I love any time that I can hang out with my extended family. We always just wish it could be longer. I would post a pic, but apparently I'm so low on memory that my computer can hardly run. So I need to take some pictures off before adding some more. And we all know I have SO much time for that.

Other than that, I'm just trying to figure out how to raise an almost 4 year old boy without losing my mind. It's been a difficult couple of weeks topped off with him killing his sister's fish. That did me in and after I lost my mind, I went back to what I always do, find a parenting book to read. Working on getting through one of James Dobson's books called Raising Boys. Has some pretty interesting stuff on it although I don't really agree with all of it so I'm trying not to cast all the info. aside. Mainly I have refused to argue with him about anything and everything. Last week one day started with us arguing about what day it was. Our interaction at breakfast pretty much sets the tone for the day. So we are looking forward to school starting and getting a break from each other. We've got 1 week left with Aubrey and Brody has 2 weeks. I guess we'll have to start getting up earlier next week to prepare! We have really enjoyed sleeping in. That has been my favorite part of summer.
