Friday Fragments #153

Mommy's Idea

This last week was one of those weeks that I'm glad is over. It was mentally stressful for me and I was carrying around some issues that I finally got off my chest on my PYHO post over at Shell's Thing's I Can't Say. After writing that post and talking to my husband about it, I can breathe a sigh of relief that he understands where I'm coming from.

I decided that my posts need to be a little more light hearted and not so deep all the time. I don't want to depress all of you and have you thinking my life is all sadness and tears. I need to get back on track and start writing more fiction over at the RDC.

My little E's birthday is next Thursday and we're celebrating it on Sunday the 17th. I ordered his invites the last week of June, they still have not arrived. I broke down in desperation and planned the event invites on Facebook. Something I completely and utterly detest.

I've found my new favorite song of the week. Here's the video. I can't get it out of my head. I love the beat and the music. I haven't had a chance to listen to it in my husband's car (his stereo is outta this world) but I'm sure it beats listening to it on my iPhone.

I made a trip to Walmart last night to grab some last minute items to avoid taking 4 kids shopping. As I was passing the stationery section I stopped dead in my tracks. Can you believe they already have school supply lists out already??! There are still six weeks left of summer!

To answer any questions to why I have four kids now. No, I didn't magically have two babies in the past week to give me four kids. (although I am still trying to convince the hubs that one more kid would be great.) I am babysitting my 3 year old nephew and 6 year old niece for 3.5 days this weekend. My husband's stepsister and her husband are taking a cruise, their first vacation together without kids, and I offered to watch them.

Aww...the cousins are going to have so much fun together. :)

Say it isn't so! (school supplies) I feel like my summer just started!

Thanks for linking up this week. Have a beautiful weekend.

KLo said...

It often seems to me that the more kids, the easier it is for adults.  That might just be me, though ;-)

I don't understand the sudden appearance of school supplies ... the school I teach at just got out (last day was June 24th).  In another week or so, Halloween costumes and decorations will be displayed everywhere ;-)

I don't even want to think about school supplies!  I'm enjoying my sleeping in WAY too much!  

Ann in the UP said...

Yeah, thanks for linking up this week, for sure.  I think it's depressing to put school supplies out during the first warm spell of the year.  Mean, mean, mean!!!!

It's so funny that is your favorite song this week. So funny because as I was out running errands this morning this song came on and you can't help but dance to it. I knew I needed to download it but didn't know the name, now I know. Plus Pit Bull has a great voice.

I can defintely relate to you on the sad, depressed posts. I think people understand that life comes in seasons. Especially in the blogger community nobody respects people the SEEM always perfect. Being real is good and freeing.

Your children seem like great kids.

Stopping by from the FF link party.

Happy Friday.

You are my kind of SIL/aunt!

Bethany Mitchell said...

What an awesome thing to do for your sister in law...but I wouldn't want to take 4 kids shopping either =)

Sandra said...

Yup, I know the school supplies are already out. My kids have only been out of school for a week, but it feels like months!...and you know, if you did magically have two babies, how easy would that be. Imagine how quickly world population would explode!

Beth Zimmerman said...

Have fun with your full house!

crazykindofmom said...

You're telling me! As much as the quiet would be nice around the house when
they go back to school, sleeping in is more rewarding. :)

crazykindofmom said...

Awwww thank you! XOXOXO

crazykindofmom said...

Thanks. It was an adventure! I was so busy that I couldn't even open my
laptop all weekend.

crazykindofmom said...

That would be crazy! At least we can't magically have babies like that.

crazykindofmom said...

Thanks. :)
