-The key to a happy day. If your pants feel too tight, change. Put your chubby pants on, So much happier.
-It is better to take baked goods out of the pan before eating (i.e. sweet bread) and then you can't visually see what portion of the whole you have eaten.
-Can of cream of mushroom soup in the bedroom?
-Do you ever look in the fridge and think, "whose fridge is this? Can't be mine"
-Social Media has a way of wanting you to feel bad. Feel bad for the person who has been wronged. I am a social worker. I deal with these things EVERY DAY! I have about 40 families who are going through all these things. And, I help them deal with that. Don't think you're talking to me because I am heartless. I am a social worker.
-Creeden- "today is is suppose to thunder, lightening, and inhaler." I think he meant hail.
-To the lady in the park, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say you were 50, but I think you were closer to 65. I love love love love that you are running.
-Little victories. When your 5 year old knows his phone number and tells his friends mom.
-Creeden- 'Can you get me a propane?' (propel) and Lizards are like snakes with out a slinky tail.
-Cording. Cording? Real?
-It must be National hairy knee day. Because my knees are hairy and I shaved this morning!
-Seriously, how does the one thing I have to eat all day, (toast with p.butter on it) land on the butter side when I drop it.
-I love watching birds fly.
-Can you imagine living in a world where it was just like it said in music. When the feeling you have when you listen to music. That was reality.
-I just realized I have not showered in 64 hrs because I've been too busy.
-Unplugged =Beautiful Idaho.
-I literally just used a pot scrubber to scrub my feet.
-The year of the fake flowers in my flower pots.
-College students. 6/7 of you are wearing your headphones while crossing the street. You didn't even notice when I had to slam on my brakes when you just stepped out in front of me.
-Lighteninging-? the act of lightening, I cannot get the sound of that right in my head.
-My new camper is tainted. The new smell is gone, and it's not because of grease.
-Girl with ladder sticking out your sun roof. You go girl! You figured it out and you got it!
-Love free stuff.
-Bucketlists.

Fall. 2015.
-Love/Hate relationship with leaves. Love when they dress my trees, not my lawn.
-Chocolate, yes, meant to melt in my mouth. But, too good to not chew.
-I hate Suburu mostly because of the people who drive them.
-The smell of Christmas might actually only be the smell of the fireplace.
-My phone holds-
Phone numbers, shopping lists, christmas ideas, emails, book ideas, internet, maps, scriptures, pictures, games, clock, alarm clock, stop watch, calendars, calculator, prescription refills, music.
NO wonder I don't have to have a memory anymore.
-Skye- "Will do, Coach!" and when she was sick on trek with 101' fever- "I'm alright."
-Seriously, how many times a day do I have to do dishes. I buying stock in paper plates.
-Took my 4(!) months to loose and regrow my fingernail!
-I saw someone with my same ugly green (that I love) northface coat, getting in a white Envoy (which was my favorite vehicle) and they had marathon stickers on the back window- (I don't do the sticker thing on cars, but, I do on my mug)- Seriously so intrigued about having a conversation with them.
- I realized a few years ago that people do not like to told that they are a voice in my head. And, don't appreciate being appreciated. They think it's creepy. Fine. Sad. That was never my intent.
-Free time to some=hours
Free time to me=couple of minutes.
-oh, and these are the teenage years you speak of!
-Eyelashes. Damned if you don't, Damned if you do.
-This flip of a curl behind my ear? Not intentional. It just has a mind of it's own.
-There are aspects of having a teenager in the house that are fun- mostly I think I'm referencing the music factor.
THINGS I LOVE ON THANKSGIVING DAY
-My little people.
-Vacuumed floors.
-My beautiful room.
-Fluffy blankets
-Thank you receptionist lady who patiently listened to my diarrhea mouth of the past 5 days when all you asked was "current symptoms of your child."
-Bronchitis, ear infection, hand foot mouth, and pukes. Holy moly. My poor boys.
-Best and worst quality of mine. I care about people.
-I am SUCH a sucker for Hallmark channel movies. Seriously, they make me happy!

Life got a little crazy.
I didn't abandon my little red tin, but I guess I took a break from 'My Little Red Tin.'
I will print this someday and so I will catch it up. Yes, 3 years worth. Don't worry, it won't take long. However, going forward after this catch-up period may prove to be a little more intriguing. I will explain more as I arrive at September 2017.

Dear My Baby Boy,
I do have a couple of names for you. They both start with 'C' because I want you to be part of the other boys already in our family. I am not sure we have decided totally which one to choose, and maybe we wont know until we look into your beautiful little face, but I love them both and we will see. I am so excited and so nervous and so worried that as an older mother I will be everything you need me to be. But, my baby boy, you are coming to a family that is so excited for you to join them. Your older brothers can't wait to get you here. Carson, because he wants his own room, but Creeden can't wait to give you his clothes, and love you and kiss on you. He kisses my belly about a million times a day and tells you that you are beautiful and that you 'rock!' Your sisters are also so excited, I think mostly to dress you and pack you around. I promise you will have more mommies than you will know what to do with.
I feel you move inside my belly and see you bouncing around. I absolutely believe that you will be my little ball of fire. I am trying to create a good and safe place for you to grow healthy and strong. I do think that you really like turkey sandwiches, strawberries, and ice cream. Oh, and coke, you little stinker. How am I suppose to be healthy with you wanting sugar and coke? :)
I love you. I love you.I love you.
Keep on a cookin'!
your momma

February in Review-
-"Sleeplessness does such a weird thing to my brain. I go down paths of regrets. Like, "We should have gone to see the character parade while we were at Disneyland." Uh, is this going to be like my life? I'm going to lay in my coffin and have a whole eternity of living with my "should have dones."
-"If it's going to be cold, the best gift to help endure it?- No School, No School!"
_"Glow?" my ass, it's call acne."
-" How does a kumquat size thing in my gut make my thighs look like grapefruits got lodged in them?"
-"We are currently residing on "Lake Petersen."
-"I love snowmen. Everything about them- the fun that's put into building them, the personality of each little face, and their secret life that happens when we are asleep."
-"Power of 10. That's all I can do."
When this baby zaps all my energy, I just go 10 at a time. 10 more things to pick up. 10 more dishes. 10 more minutes. 10 is very doable.
-"105 Reasons We <3 you"= best valentines surprise ever! :)
While we were gone the kids made a 105 hearts with reasons they love us and taped them to our door with streamers and a present! they are so awesome!
-"Monday Morning Matinee= my new favorite thing!"
For my birthday Cody and I took a day off and went to an 11 movie. We were the only people in the theater! It was awesome!
-"It's amazing how it actually may have taken 38 years, but at this point I actually have found a few true friends."
-"On the flip side, I'm really sad by the number of people I begged for acknowledgment from, and in the end wasted energies that were never appreciated."
Lesson learned.
-"36 Roses! Yes, that is 3 dozen, THREE DOZEN - Beautiful Roses!"
-"Muddy dirt and yellow grass, You are so beautiful to my winter eyes!"
-"Black eye, Broken nose, Creeden has definite strength in his headbutt."
