Love Story meets Viva La Vida

So I don't know how many of you know who Jon Schmidt is but he is an awsome composer/pianist. This is an arrangment by him of Love Story by Taylor Swift (love her) and Viva La Vida by Cold Play (love them, I also just downloaded their album for free from their web site). It's really pretty. Hope you all enjoy.

Just a quick note

Tonight as I was getting the boys to turn off the TV and go to bed, Zach looks up at me and says "What about my ball Mom?" I said "What ball Zach?" "The one up my nose mom". Sure enough that little dork had shoved a little plastic ball up his nose. You know like the kind that are for air pellet guns. Now I'm sure you're all saying well hey all kids do that. This is the third (yes third) time that Zach has done this. The first time we were about ready to take him to the ER and dad saved the day. The second time I think was about the same. Tonight I was home with the kids, Guy was out working and I thought oh great what am I going to do. So I laid him down on the counter to get a better look, it wasn't that far up there, so I plugged the other side of his nose and said ok now blow! Nothing. Try again Zach one more time. He blew and the little plastic bugger popped right out. Ashley was in the room with me and we both looked at each other with a disgusted look on our faces. But it was quite funny, and luckily again no trip to the ER. You'd think that the kid would learn to not stick things up his nose.

Insomnia

So I'm thinking that I have insomnia I haven't gone to a doctor or anything, but I find myself up at all hours of the night. Not able to fall to sleep, my mind keeps working it just won't stop and I just keep thinking I'm so tired! So then I'm exhausted all day at work I get home and I'm so tired I just want to sleep but I think no just keep going until bed time then you'll be able to sleep. Then it gets to be 930 or 10 pm and I'm wide awake once again, usually until close to midnight or 1 am. If anyone has any suggestions of what I can do I'm all ears. I just want to sleep and feel rested again.

Wow! Been Way to long!

So I know that I've been away for a long time. Truth is I've been too busy facebooking, reading, and being lazy. Not a whole lot has been going on here. We had Christmas it was nice went down to my mom's house went sledding. Sledding, now that was fun. I hurt myself more than once but that's what it's all about right? Then came New Years, went down to Guy's parents house. Played some fun games, went sledding again! Hurt myself some more. Decided I'm too old for sledding.

Then came the January blahs! Had some tough weeks. In November my Grandpa Bown passed away, he'd been sick for a long time so it was a blessing for him to not be in pain anymore, but still sad to see him go. His funeral was the Saturday after Thanksgiving. My brother was able to come home for the funeral, and was actually the one that presented my uncle with the flag from my Grandpa's coffin. Then in January my Grandma Lewis passed away, she too had been sick for a long time. Both will be missed by everyone who knew them.

January 27th brought around Guy's birthday. I took him out to dinner while Ashley watched the boys for us. She sure is a sweet heart sometimes. He was somewhat disappointed as we hadn't baked a cake for his birthday. But I knew a secret, Megan was coming home for the weekend and had called and told me she wanted to make a cake and bring it up. I figured that two cakes was too many. So we had cake and ice cream with her over the weekend. Ashley went to a school dance that weekend. She looked very pretty. It's hard to believe that she is 16 and old enough to date.

Now around to February. Still nothing to exciting. We made a snowman last weekend. Megan came up again, which was wonderful. She gave us a wonderful valentines day gift of a gift card to Texas Roadhouse, and two movie tickets so that we could go on a date. She then said we were to go and she was watching the boys for us. She took them to get pizza and to get some popcorn at the store. Then brought them home and gave them a bath and watched a movie with them. The next day we played some games as a family and had a wonderful time.

Well that brings us up to this weekend and that shall be saved for another post all to itself.

I'll try and post a photo slide of the last three months soon as Guy gets home with his computer and the photos!
