Five Things I Can't Leave The House Without- August

Here's a list of the five items I have in my possession at all times, at least for this week. The list is bound to change.

1.) Cell Phone:
It's not fancy and I hate to text, but I've been known to drive backwards great lengths to retrieve my cell phone. I have two fears regarding this: I'll fall down the stairs and break both legs and won't be able to call for help, I lock Little Nib in the car/house with the keys and she's screaming to be let out.

2.) Munchkin Snack Catcher:
Not to be confused with the Snack Trap. Whoever invented this gadget is a genius. Let's kids eat snacks without spilling them all over. Usually filled with some kind of raisin, goldfish, pretzel goodness. Pure awesome.

3.) Lipgloss:
I have one in my purse and one in my car at all times. For those mornings when I forget to look in the mirror before I leave the house, at least I can look somewhat put together.

4.) Blog Notebook:
Dear Big Cheese bought me a special notebook with a world map on the cover when I decided to start this blog. Now I don't go anywhere without it. You may have seen me at the side of the road hastily jotting down post ideas...my memory ain't what it used to be.

And finally...

5.) Water Bottle/Sippy Cup:
I never leave the house without my water bottle. And I certainly never leave the house without a sippy cup for Little Nib, been there done that and it was not pretty. Who does not need extra hydration?

What things are always on your person?

  2. I do it because I live in the 21st Century and don't want to feel 'old'. But really? I'd rather just call you up or send you an email. I think it's because I'm lazy and talk to much. :)

  3. Hey Mary, I'm so excited you have blog! I remember once that I was going to ask you if you had one because for some reason I could just see you having one. :) I started ours after the new year and have become pretty obssesed with the blog world since...it's fun! :) Actually I started it because I failed miserably at scrap booking, baby books and all that good stuff so it's original main purpose was to make up for that. :)

  4. Hi Laura! I didn't know you blogged! Thanks for stopping by here, I'll have to check out your blog soon. I have a few friends that blog and they seemed to really get a lot out of it, so I thought I'd try my hand at it. So far, so good!

    You and your family are so beautiful! I'm happy for you!

Lady in the Sky, With Broccoli

We've had a whirlwind, chaotic, hectic, exciting week.  It was a week of fixes, car naps, quick meals and heat.  Oh, the heat!  I finally feel like today we had the chance to tone things down and take a breath.  The Little Lady and I were left to our devices for the evening while the Mr. took a much deserved night off.  We had a light dinner and then went outside for our favorite pre-bed activity, Bubble Chasing.  (Well, she chases, I blow).  The following conversation ensued. Laying in the grass: MP: Hey LL, look at all those clouds! LL:  Yeah mom, clouds. MP:  What do you see up there?  I see bunny ears! LL:  They just puffy mama. MP: (Humph, this might not work...) LL:  Mama, I see Lady! MP: (Getting excited)  That's great, what's she doing? LL:  Lady in Sky, with Broccoli.  I like Broccoli! MP: Well, yes, it does look like broccoli.  What else do you see? LL:  Poop in a glass.  Ha...

A Confession

First let me come clean.  I'm pregnant. Now, let the next thirty-one weeks commence where I talk of nothing else except my growing belly, appetite and need for Cheetos.  Not really, but I will say this; I'm tired.  So tired that normal everyday tasks that should only take me a few minutes suddenly sit around, unfinished, for days at a time.  Examples?  The dishwasher, the dirty dishes, groceries (the non-perishable ones, duh), folding the laundry, making the bed.  I mean, there are much better things to do, like, stuff handfuls of popcorn in my mouth while watching all the episodes of Angel, in order.  Don't judge me, I am returning to school in a few weeks; maybe this is just me trying desperately to channel myself as a Freshman in college?  Who the heck knows.  What I do know that my "golden time," or nap time as it is commonly called, was once used to clean, cook, tidy up, rest and blog.  Well, you know how much blogging I've done o...

Home for Sale, Cheap

Nap time is usually reserved for a mash up of cleaning, organizing, eating, blogging, surfing the web and trying to relax as much as possible before the Little Lady wakes up.  With our house going on the market tomorrow my house is the cleanest it has ever been.  Literally.  I feel like we're living in a model home.  Kind of like Michael and George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development .  It's equal parts nice and annoying.  Nice having a super clean home and annoying that I have to keep it show ready all.the.time. The best part of having a show ready house?  I have nothing more to do during nap time than blog, eat and watch Angel .  Because bad TV at nap time is the best way to relax.  Well, maybe just if you're living in a model home.
