Have A Great Rest of Your Day

I’m so sick of blogger I could scream. It keeps messing my template up and at one point today, I had nothing but gobbly gook that you couldn’t even read, with NO template.

I’ve had it. I’m moving somewhere else. I’ve been thinking about wordpress. Anyone out there using it that likes it? Is it better to use their free one, or do I need to get my own domain. Help please, I’ve had it with all the blogger crap!

Thanks!!

Once Kathryn started walking she really took off and she’s getting FASTER. I thought I couldn’t keep up before, what am I going to do now.

On another note: Jerry Rice has signed a one day contract with the San Francisco 49ers so that he can retire with the team that he started with.

No one probably cares about this more than my husband, who had to call and make sure I knew. For a moment there I thought he was going to shed tears of joy. His “boy” is coming back to his team, where he belongs. (like I really friggin care!)

I had this great post all written about this being my 200th post and how much my writing has changed and all the things I like and dislike about blogging. Then I deleted it all, because it comes down to one thing for me.

My blog is an outlet for my writing and thoughts. It’s not about the number of people that visit. It’s not about the number of comments I get. It’s not about what people think of my template or life. It’s about me and what I need my blog to be used for. I’ve ranted, I’ve exclaimed, I’ve shouted for joy, I’ve cried. Sometimes separately, sometimes all at once.

It’s great to get traffic, comments and returning visitors. For several months I was stressed and concerned that I wasn’t getting any visitors. One morning I woke up and thought “what happened to the fun?” It was gone. I thought about how great it had felt to have a place to come, a place of my own. I decided that if I was going to keep this up, it had to be fun, it had to be relaxing. As soon as I made this my resolution, I got visitors, I got comments, and I got traffic.

I’m a terrible landlord. My “new” renter only has 3 days and 11 hours left here and I haven’t even done an introduction for her yet.

Go check out Land of Two, Under Two. I can not even imagine having children that close together. For her it is working out great. Go see her bad habits and find out how much she misses her daughter who is staying with the in-laws.

I want lots of clicks, so I can show her how wonderful I truly am. You guys already know that though!! Don’t you? guys………….hello?……..okay, I’m just going to get back to work then.

So Kathryn is walking and I’m very excited and sad all at the same time. It’s fun she is doing something new, but it means she is growing up. Don’t get me wrong progression is a good thing, but does it have to happen so quickly?

Tonight when I picked her up from daycare she started screaming. Not just a little whine either, I mean really screaming. She wanted to stay with Ms. A, not come home with her mommy. In a way it was kind of funny, but not when there are all these other parents there looking at me with these disapproving, glaring looks. I just know they were all wondering what I do to her when we’re at home. Geez people, I don’t beat her!

I had to wrestle her away from Ms. A. who felt awful, but at least I know she is happy there. She must be if she doesn’t want to come home with the person that brought her into this world.

Oh, and she was sitting in her car seat picking her nose on the way home. Great, just great!

I’m sad to say that no one guessed correctly THE day that Kathryn would walk. However some of you were close. We’ll be having another contest soon, so don’t forget to play.

The guesses are as follows:
Trish July 31st
CyberCelt July 31st
Lisa July 31st
Haley Aug 6th
Carmen Aug 6th
Astrocoz Aug 8th
Dawn Aug 10th
Frances Aug 20th

I’ve been tagged by SOS (spawn of satan) from The Original Human Oddity for this meme.

5 weird things about me.

1. I still have a special blanket that I sleep with occasionally. I use it mostly when my husband is working nights or I feel insecure. No, I don’t have to carry it around with me everywhere. My name is not Linus.

2. I hate mushrooms, with a passion. So much that if I get one in my mouth I will start gagging.

3. I can speak obish. A language made up by my uncles Bryan and Doug when they were in high school.

4. I love peanut butter, strawberry jam, cheese and banana sandwiches. yum!

5. I’m so normal that I can’t think of another one. mmmm…. let’s see…… oh, I know. I love that sun baked feeling when you get into your car after it’s been sitting in the sun all day. It feels so relaxing.

I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you want to participate leave a comment so I can come visit.

John’s eye is looking better, but still really gross. He went back to work today and all the guys in the shop have been teasing him about spreading his fectious-ness.

The doctor did say that he had to be really careful, because it spreads so easily. If he touches his eye, then touches the computer someone could pick it up within an hour or less.

Poor guy, all night last night he would come to sit by me and I would mockingly jump back and say “ewww, I don’t want all your pudding puss on me, get away!” I thought it was really funny, but he didn’t. He turned pouting and said, “you make me feel like a leper.”

He was probably glad to be back at work today, because yesterday I kept calling and making sure he was washing his hands and not touching anything. I can’t do that today.

John has pinkeye and it’s really gross. Yesterday at lunch he was fine, I get home from work and it looked like someone had dumped blood into his eye with a bunch of vanilla pudding. Ewwww, it was so gross!

It was oozing and spitting out this gunky stuff. His eyelashes kept getting stuck together. Ewww, ewwww, it was nasty.

He went to the doctor this morning and got a RX for some prescription eye drops. I had to go and pick him up for the appointment, because he didn’t know if he would be able to drive or not. He is also staying home today, which is good because he drives a truck around town for a living.

Dr. B is so very nice. He knows that John is a bit of a worrier, so he was really good about explaining everything, how it should clear up in a few days and how to be careful and not spread it. He also showed him an easy way to put the drops in and gave him some tips on keeping it cleaned out.

Thankfully the drops weren’t too expensive and he said it feels like they are already working. I wanted to take a picture of his eye, but he wouldn’t let me. “all you’re going to do is put it on your blog to try and get more traffic” he told me. I wouldn’t put it up for traffic, but I would put it up to gross everyone out!
