Over Committed

So I usually have no problem saying no to things, but I have recently started a pattern of saying yes to almost anything. Can you make this really inconvenient Dr.'s appt? Can you please help set up XYZ meeting? Would you head up this community group? Honey, can you do all the housework, take care of the kids, and also be my secretary? I have, over the last month, said YES in some fashion to all of the above. Although, I still consider myself to be "above water", I know that I am close to drowning in responsibility. I know that when this happens I will have to yet again say yes! YES to committing myself to the looney bin. What the HAY, might as well, most people who know me well would say I'd fit right in! Cheers!

Apple Biter

I love having my 2 1/2 foot tall apple biter in the house! I have arranged a lovely center piece for my dining room table of fresh, crisp, and beautiful green apples. They are stacked in a wooden square bowl, which gives it the most perfect, cozy, earthen look. Now my table scape is complete because my daughter has taken mini bites out of almost each and every apple! Ahhh the hilarity of motherhood...I guess she really wants apple pie or something because now I am going to have to use them right away. Cheers!

Neanderthal Man and his Commrades

So I attended my very first NFL game yesterday. I have actually only seen a few college games prior to this one and I don't really know the game of football all that well, but my husband wanted to go for his birthday and so I gladly obliged. I really love going to MLB games so I thought this would be a similar experience...boy was I wrong. The stadium was packed full of people that literally had no filter. The raw testosterone grunts and yells created a cacophony of noise similar to something you might see on animal planet. I think the most entertaining part though was the complete usage of all the curse words known in the English language. I even heard some new ones (or at least I thought they were new, it's hard to tell with the slurring speech). They also used video clips from the greatest "Macho Man Movies" (Gladiator, Braveheart, Troy, 300, etc) between plays...that actually got me kind of pumped up! Overall, it was an entertaining if not educational experience that I will not allow my children to experience anytime soon! Cheers!
