Ponder This!
I grabbed this from Simply Mormon's site (with permission!).... Thought it was something that we could take a moment to ponder about....
CELL PHONE vs. BIBLE
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
This is something to make you go... hmm... where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing....
Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?
And no dropped calls!

Oh Yes.... Twilight baby!
And at 2:01am I finished the first of four books in the Twilight Series!!!
GEEE!
Not only an I enthralled by the book (and CANNOT wait to read the rest!) but I'm THRILLED that I was able to spend a day just reading!
I still made lunch for my children.... An chatted with them here and there...
But they knew 'Mommy's reading a book.... And it's a BIG one!'
I'd like to thank Sarah for loaning me the book so I would have a chance to keep up with the newest, biggest series by a Mormon (oh yes! Imagine!) author as of now.... And so I would have some idea of what is going on when the movie comes out in November!
GEEE!
I honeslty may dream about 'Twilight' every night until I get my hands on the second book, 'New Moon', in the series....
I can hardly wait!!!!

Angry.
Just a minute ago I went into Emma's room to make sure she's sleeping alright....
She has her pillow at the foot of her bed and is passed right out...
With puffy lips from crying right before she fell asleep....
Mommy lost her temper tonight and yelled.
Mommy was very, VERY angry....
And now Mommy feels horrible that her oldest-little-one fell asleep with thoughts of her Mommy mad at her....
Ugh.

The Fly...
We had the Missionaries over for dinner tonight (Yay!) and at some point our screen door on our sliding doors was left open.... Every since then we've been dive-bombed by three annoying flies!
Grrr....
I swear (oh yes!) if this sucker doesn't die by the time I'm ready to get some good non-bugged sleep I'll kill it with my own teeth!
(My cats have been doing an awesome job of near-catches all night)......
Otherwise I may have to invest in one of these.... It's called "The Fly Catcher" and it's awesome.... AND funny! *L*
Definitely check out the site! TOOOOO funny, let me know what you think!

Thank you..... :P
Tonight, or last night depending on how you look at this as it's well after midnight, they introduced my wonderful Husband tot he amazing world of 'Fantastic Contraption'....
No, no.... Minds out of the gutter please.... *L* My Husband, Tyler, stopped by after work, umm... yesterday to talk business with Conor (they're in business together if you didn't gather that) and such.... While there (from what I was informed between moments of this wonderful site) Conor introduced Tyler to this site called, 'Fantastic Contraption'....
When Tyler got home we headed out for a quick dinner as a family and then off for some quick shopping (I must blog about this after some sleep!).... All after spending some quality time with our neighbors!
Once the girls were just about ready for bed I noticed that Tyler hopped on the computer pretty quickly.... Odd. You see in our relationship I'm the computer user.... Me... It's MY computer... *L* I mean.... Our computer that I use constantly..... *ahem*
Anyhoo.... We get the girls tucked into bed and he's right back at the computer.... Now I can't remember when he explained this site to me... Before or after the girls were in bed but as soon as I saw it I knew, I KNEW we were in for a long night!
*LOL*
It's an awesome site! Totally check it out, but make sure you have some 'spare time' kicking around to do so! As the site advertises it's "A fun online physics puzzle game". And it is!
SO fun that my Husband, who is on his day shift this week and needs to be out of bed by 6am, didn't get to bed until 3am. Why do I know this? Because my alarm went off at 3am for me to take my Med's for this silly Sinus Infection that is still hanging around.... And he was just getting into bed!
*LOL*
So I'd like to thank my good friends Sarah and Conor (okay so maybe I should start with Conor and then Sarah but I'm used to writing it this way) for introducing my Husband to this wonderful site that he oh-so-loves! *L* Now..... I need to buy a lap top so I can still blog (as that's the real issue with all of this..... And you thought it was about the lack of sleep and health issues that will come with it... HA!)
:P

Towel Rack....
I honestly thought she had fallen in the bathroom somehow... This is what I found instead....
So we've had issues with this towel rack since we moved in.... It wasn't tight to the wall and this is what happened, exactly what I thought would happen....
From what I gathered while Tyler looked at it, whoever put it up didn't hit a stud. In fact there's the pencil 'x' mark of where it was supposed to go in and then two attempts (holes) on either side of it! Imagine!
Grrr....
So a warning to you all who are building a house, check your towel racks before they attack your children!!!
*LOL*
