?

I am having a parental dilemma.

How do you punish a child for something they knew was wrong when they did it in a fit of temper, but they came to you and confessed to all of it, including the fact that it was purposeful?

Don't get me wrong, she is being punished, she is grounded from life for the rest of the day.

Is that too harsh, considering she did confess without even being asked, and before I even knew she did wrong?

Maybe we will just call this the question of the day.

Randomness

So summer is here...

NOT!

It is suppose to reach a whopping 58 degrees today. I have to keep reminding myself that it is in fact JUNE!!!

I am so ready for the heat now. Yes I know I will be complaining come July, but I will be happily complaining.

I am ready to get the pool out, I am ready to have sweat trickling down my back even while I am sitting in my air conditioned house. I am ready to be sun burnt and blistered.

This is me... being ready... still ready... waiting...

I am desperately trying to loose weight.

The problem is I have no will power.

I need to develop some of that.

I have to keep reminding myself,

"Sarah you are an adult, you have self control, you are the only one who can control what you do, OOOOO COOKIES!"

See, doesn't work.

I am regularly exercising. Last night Emanhaud and I upped our walking by another mile, we are up to three now. I have a goal to walk for an hour every day.

Some days that goal is more attainable than others.

Some days the only thing I want to do is lay on the bed and watch reruns of Alias.

I will keep trying. I'm not giving up yet.

I'm bored

I keep looking for stuff to do, reading, cooking (see above), laundry, etc. Its just that on a daily basis most of the time the things I can think of to do just aren't happening. I just finished reading a series of books and have nothing on my list to read now. I can only do so much housework without going crazy. As far as cooking and baking go... again see above.

When I was a kid my little sister used to go around all the time saying she was bored. My mom would look at her and say "no your boring" and after a while she started saying "I'm boring" instead. Not the nicest thing to do, but I think that is what I am going to have to start saying.

"I'm boring, boring, boring!"

I am starting up my cooking classes for kids next week so if you are in the Davis county area and want your kids to participate just leave me a comment and I will fill you in on the details.

If anyone out there has fun and kid friendly recipes that you can suggest that would be great too. They don't have to be easy. I am teaching them how to actually cook, not just assemble.

Alright I guess that's it for the week

1. Little Red Corvette- Prince

2. Violette Hill- Coldplay

3. Stiff Kittens- Blaqk Audio

4. Oh My- Mellowdrone

An open letter to the idiots who keep doing this

ALRIGHT

YOU...

YEAH YOU!

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

STOP PUTTING THE FREAKING SHOPPING CARTS IN THE HANDICAP PARKING SPACES!!!!!

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW INCONVENIENT IT IS FOR A HANDICAP PERSON TO GET OUT OF THEIR CAR TO MOVE THEM SO THEY CAN PARK THERE?

OBVIOUSLY YOU DO NOT AND THAT IS WHY YOU CONTINUE TO DO SO!

WELL

STOP IT!!!! NOW!!!!

YOU KNOW WHERE THE FREAKING CART RETURN AREA IS SO...

USE IT!

Sincerely,

Me

Wordless Wednesday

Can't Complain

First let me just preface this post by saying I am sorry that I haven't updated for a long time. I have been really busy... Really! I swear I have been!

My girls graduated from elementary school this week, I planted a HUGE garden, I had to work, I have been trying to keep up on my house work... You know.... busy.

Plus there is the problem that I don't do anything web related any more unless it is on my Iphone. So I don't read other blogs, and I don't do updates unless it is a one sentence updated on Facebook. I know lazy lazy lazy.

I promise I will try to do better.

Plus I finally just realized, Hey I have a laptop!

Crazy world huh?

The thing is that even with all the busyness, I haven't been stressed out as much as usual. I haven't had a lot to complain about. I have decided I like my life. Sure I could stand to loose about 20 pounds. (See below post) Yeah I do have very difficult and challenging children, that are out of school for the next three months!

But hey, I get to sleep in for the next three months too!

So that makes it all better.

This is the first time in years that I am actually looking forward to having my kids home for summer.

Did I just say that?

I think there may be something wrong with me!
