Ramblings
I’m sick! POO!
You know, it’s funny getting sick.
Being a mom and getting sick.
More specifically, being a mom and getting the FLU.
Not fun, but funny.
You think to yourself, “Well, it’s ok. Just a little cold. I can get over this pretty quick. Just take some cold medicine and I’ll be right as rain!”
Right?
WRONG!
I haven’t blogged for a few days because, WELL!
I got’s the VIRUS! (*This is what my husband and I call it when we get sick, grammar and all)
Though my husband would argue with you that he only gets sick for 5 minutes. (Literally! He thinks this! We’ll talk more about his delusions later) : D
This is what I have consumed for the past few days. Needless to say, I’m REALLY ready for some real food.
But for now,
I’m on the mend.
I got some Tamiflu in me in the right amount of time. GO ME!
And I must take a few minutes to profess my love for this drug.
Tamiflu, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be typing this post right now.
I love you, Tamiflu.
Ok, enough.
I must say, I have some pretty inventive kids.
This all hit me right when school got out for the Holiday.
I didn’t know what the heck I was going to do being sick and having to keep them entertained.
Apparently, pizza boxes make great televisions. They decided to host their own talk show.
When that got old, they decided to open a book fair.
They wanted me to see it so bad.
When I saw it from the corner, I thought it was sweet.
This cute little book fair.
Until……
I looked up….
and saw….
This!
A MEGA BOOK FAIR!
I guess they have learned from their parents to just go for it!
(I wonder who is going to clean this up?)
Now I have to give some props to the hubster.
He has been trying very hard to clean and keep the house from getting to be a total wreck.
(He may or may not have paid me for this Advertisement)
I wonder if he realizes he missed these?
Oh well.
To next time!
And!
To feeling 100% BETTER!

Christmas: Chalkboard Decorating
I love my little Chalkboard that I bought from Etsy last year.
Come to think of it, I just love Chalkboards in general.
They are so much fun to play with and they work for any season.
Whether you just want to write down a shopping list, or if you want to give your kids a cool spot to draw!
Since our “Theme” for Christmas is the Grinch who Stole Christmas, I figured I would quote him.
Now, I did my best attempt at fitting the whole quote on the board.
I started out larger than I should have and realized that as I started to get towards the bottom.
By the end, I was itty bitty, but I didn’t erase and start over because, umm… well….
“That was the look I was going for?”
Yup! That’s it!
Have fun with it!
Add an ornament here or there.
Use different sayings. Famous quotes from Christmas movies past are the best!
I think I am even going to use this quote on the Teacher Christmas Presents my little ones do.
(Other than the fact that I just realized I misspelled Virginia,)
This one reminds me of a time when I was little when I wrote Santa a letter and asked him if he was real.
I think we all have that moment at some point.
I remember getting a rolled up typed letter that was secured by a single red ribbon.
It was addressed: Dear Esther,
It went on to talk about how he was just as real as I was and how he believed in me just like I believed in him……
I found out my mother typed that letter…..
LAST YEAR!
THIS IS WHY I HAVE TRUST ISSUES, PEOPLE!
OK, Moving on! : D
You should, however, be warned.
If you leave your Chalkboard left alone for any length of time, it could end up like this….
Hearts drawn all over it.
Pretty sure she is the culprit….
Come to think of it, it’s not so bad.
Think I’ll keep it. : )
Fun Christmas Presents: (Boot Jewelry)
I was in my local western store the other day and as I was checking out at the counter, I spotted a pair of boots with a piece of jewelry on them!
Now maybe I’m a little late at this, but I thought that was the COOLEST THING I had ever seen!
I mean, why didn’t I think of this?
Everybody knows I love to wear my boots.
Let’s be honest, sometimes those boots need a little sprucing up!
They had different styles.
They even had some rhinestone ones, but this one caught my eye the most.
It even looked good on my flashier boots.
I think the best part is that you can wear it with either a plain or a dressier outfit.
It would be great for when you wear your boots with a sundress!
I also picked this up while I was there.
Girls! Listen up!
Y’all need one of these handy things for when someone else isn’t around to help you!
It is hard enough sometimes to get those darn things off WITH someone’s help.
You know, you know what I’m talking about.
Watch and learn:
Step on…..
Insert foot…..
Pull foot out!
OMG! Do you realize how much this has changed my LIFE????!!!!????????
Better diagram of how footing is.
(I probably could have done this to begin with, but that just wouldn’t be me)
I caution you, however!
DO NOT TRY TO STAND ON THIS AFTER CONSUMING ONE OF THESE:
You will hurt yourself.
SO!
Let’s recap:
“Boot Jewelry”!!!
Fun!
Cute!
Christmas Present!
Got at my local Western Store, Wild West.
$19.99 each
Wooden Boot Jack
$9.50 each
P.S. I also tried these with my regular fashion boots and I think they looked good too.
Now go do more Christmas Shopping!
