on just a little side note...

I've been trying to get my previous posts labeled 

so things are sorted into nice tidy little categories

kinda like my house...



OK that is a lie.

butanyways...

just wondering what it means
when pretty much every post 
falls under the heading


"WHAT I DO TO AVOID REALITY"




?

the sound of silence



10:09


Hello darkness my old friend.
I've come to talk with you again.
kids are finally in their beds sleeping.
nothing into my ears creeping....


which led me to the internet.




which led me to this video.








which led me to this video.






Like fine wine and my hubby
this song gets even better with age.


AND their hair stayed exactly the same?!?..


That my friends is how my brain works after ten...




Deep. I know.

getting my act together

I really should be cleaning
or playing with the kids at least
but I'm on my second cup of coffee.
Thinking about what I oughtta be doing.
I have restarted my commitment to the flylady


.FlyLady's FlyToon


She is really bossy some days,
but if you listen, your life gets fixed right up.


Only it works like this for me:
Monday: wash your sheets, dust, vacuum, mop and gather trash


Tuesday: No "big" assignment so usually I think about doing what I was supposed to do on Monday.


Wednesday: Plan menus.
When I actually do this I sit down with a piece of paper...
maybe at the computer.
Stare at the sale ads.
Stare at a pile of coupons or
better yet search for printable coupons online.
Try to download some mysterious coupon printer.
Take apart the printer to see why it isn't connecting to the computer.
Search for recipes that coincide with both a coupon and what's on sale.
Try to figure out if anyone would even eat all the strange things I come up with.


Thursday: Go to the store for groceries.


Remember that Thursday morning is the worst time for shopping since everybody already bought the good stuff and the new truck isn't unloaded yet.
Ditch coupons.
Ditch menus.
Buy 18 cans of sloppy joes.
Buy economy pack of buns.
Forget to buy hamburger.


Friday: Realize I have forgotten to do all of the other stuff I was supposed to do.
Yell at the kids for leaving their shoes all over.
Pick up 17 pairs of my own shoes laying all over.
Sweep up Monday's cheerios off of the kitchen floor.
Decide to wait until next week to mop since it isn't technically the day for that.


Saturday: Family fun day!
Whoo hoooo. don't have to do nothin.


Sunday: Rest.
I know it has been a busy week!!!!

Tool for creating a computer junky outta your baby

Here is a fun link 
for your little ones, 
especially those with low vision.


     

There is a quirky sound that
 corresponds with pushing a button 
and the images are high contrast.

losing myself in the WWW.

It is a bad sign when you are visiting a sight titled: TIME-WASTERS

Then you follow a link.

Thinking you have discovered something marvelous you draw a self-portrait.


And when you go to set up an account so you can save the masterpiece,
it tells you that you already have one.

Must have been in a real zone when I discovered it at some mysterious moment in my own history.

Wonder what I looked like then???
