Whats the deal with the remote????

Okay, so I've been married for over four years now, and I still have yet to understand men's fascination with the remote control and channel flipping. Here's the scenario: I'm sitting on the couch, perfectly content watching a Friends re-run, when Joseph comes over and sits down. The show goes to a commercial, and he picks up the remote and just starts flipping channels. I mean, what good does it do to watch one minute of four different shows during the commercial break??? And why do men think its okay just to take over the remote any time they want to??? And it's not just Joseph, I remember watching shows with my brother and he would do the same thing. And when you tell them to put it back on your show, that you don't want to miss anything, they flip it back like, "HA! I knew the show wasn't back on yet," then they continue flipping channels. So usually I just end up getting up to do something else (that I should probably be doing anyway) and let Joseph watch five different shows all at once, each one during the commercial break of another one. So if any male would like to help me understand, please do...

Hey, I can call my kid melon head, but...

Today, Tyler, Madison and I were in Lowes and we were checking out. This man and his daughter who was about 2 1/2 probably, were behind us. I hear the girl say, "Daddy, that boy's head looks like an egg!" Her dad says, "Yeah, he doesn't have a lot of hair, does he?" He looked at me like, "I am soooo sorry." It was so funny. Poor Tyler, he does have hair, its just thin, fine, short, and blonde, so you can't really see it. I guess that's like the day the man in the FoodWorld parking lot asked my mom if he had cancer. He really didnt have any then though. I mean, I'm allowed to call my kid melon head, but he's mine! Hehe. (We were in Walmart and the lady in front of us was buying a honeydew melon. I told Joseph it looked like Tyler's head. LOL. That was when he was about 6 months old.) Poor kid, but I love him so much!

Times I Realize I'm A Mom

Today was one of those times that I really realize that I'm a mom. We had some leftover pizza in the fridge this morning, and I REALLY wanted to eat it for breakfast. (Cold pizza for breakfast is the best!) But, I saved it for Tyler and watching him enjoy it for lunch was way better than if I had eaten it. He was so excited and ate three pieces, minus the crust. Cleaning him up was another story though...

Finally...

Yea! We have a pool again! After so many problems, and many, many, many gallons of water, we have a full pool! Just in time for this hot weather. Now time to dump in a hundred dollars worth of chemicals and we'll be good to go. After almost a year of looking out the kitchen window to a green, leaf-filled pit where the water should be, it's really nice to look out and see a beautiful pool. And it only took about 32 hours to fill with water.

My New Blog

Well, I have finally decided to start my own blog about me. Yeah, sometimes it might be about my kids or my husband, but that's only because they are my life. Sometimes I just want to say something that I really don't want to put on my kids blogs because its about me, not them. So that's what this is for. Basically, my online journal. Its much faster to type than to write, and I don't have a lot of free time.
