A new sweater.....$20 New makeup...$60 A new coat...$70 Seeing my son fold his arms when we tell him we are going to pray....priceless

Dear Mother's of Boy's, Please oh please tell me that it is normal for them to be into EVERYTHING and that dirty looks ,hair pulling,hitting and car noises are included. Sincerely, A Mother of one

My last post was a lot of complaining..my goodness ! Well in actuality I am thankful that I lost my wallet to show me that I am very blessed to have so many rights and freedoms that comes with having a citizenship in this wonderful country( Long Live Obama..I guess). Also I am very blessed with WONDERFUL family and friends! So today I thank all of you for the service you have rendered to me and my kin. But most of all I thank my Heavenly Father for EVERYTHING I have in my life and my Savior Jesus Christ for giving me renewed hope and strength each day.

Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day

Ok it wasn't that bad but don't ever lose the contents of your wallet because you will not be able to do a number of things such as... 1.)get a new license because apparently a social security card and birth certificate don't hold ground these days...who knew that a marriage license was all you need to identify you. 2.)Use a check at the grocery store(because I LOST my atm card so forget about cash too) they will also have to put all your groceries back for you while telling you that you need your license to use a check..see #1 3.) Get a new atm card at the bank because they need your...license(keep refering to #1) 4.) Also your doctor will turn you away after sitting in the waiting room for an half hour because you lost your medical card when all the contents of your wallet were either lost or stolen 5.) You can't buy anything at walmart even though you walked around the store picking things out just to realize.."hey dummy..remember that you lost the contents of your wallet" only to leave empty handed...DUH!! On top of everything it was rainy..yuck but do you know the perfect remedy for a terrible,horrible ,no good ,very bad day ... soaking in the bath tub while reading a really great book where I pretend that I am Bella( but not as annoying of course) and pretend that Ryan is Edward...sigh...

Dear Tom the Turkey, I just wanted to let you know that even though Santa is trying to push you out of the picture this year that you will still be the Guest of Honor at my house November 27th. Sincerely, The Shurtz Family

"Should I let this happen"... I say to myself.

I was able to cook dinner and unload and load the dishwasher..yea I think I'll let this happen

background checks

A couple weeks ago I was calling around trying to find a workoutplace that had babysitting. Well as good things comes to those that wait (like a year after my baby was born) I found one and they actually offered me a job babysitting one day a week for 2 1/2 hours and I would get a FREE gym membership, FREE babysitting, and FREE workout classes!! Hot Dog!!! ( maybe not the word to use when starting to be more fit) Anywho.. I went to my first day of "work" and this is going to be great. It will just be me in a room with a couple kids and lots of toys and Disney movies. WRONG..there were a couple kids alright times a million just kidding maybe 20. But and a big BUT babies 6 weeks and older are aloud to come ..I don't like that rule so while you are taking care of 3 babies there are bigger kids fighting..geez I don't know how you multiple Mom's do it 0 maybe because they are not my own). So finally some guy walks in and announces that he will be there every week working with me..whew.. So I get there this week and my " coworker" has a do rag on his head (nothing against do rags) and a really fancy Ipodish thing over his ears... Oh great I am thinking I hope he is going to take those off , he does just to let me know that he is a musician and when he jams he also likes to smoke a little (and no I am not talking cigs people) well now how does my virgin lungs respond well ,..."hmm haha.umm so what else do you do??" Then he says " don't worry it is not like I come buzzed or anything." " oh dear what a relief but instead I say..." hmm,haha,ummm so what else do you do?" and no there are no background checks at this place so now I wouldn't say I have FREE babysitting anymore.
