An Attempt, At Least

I haven't even thought of attempting a blog post this entire summer, or longer.  I haven't even thought of the blog, really.  In the back of my mind, I do miss it, really, but I'm either too lazy, too busy (or all of the above) to do anything about it.  I have managed to pack my life FULL this past year, and while I absolutely love it, when I am finally sitting still, writing a blog is too much to manage.

Facebook, however, has become ridiculously easy.  Awesome app on my phone, and it's as easy as texting!  And I don't have to write a whole blog post either.  Throw up a sentence or two, and bam, I'm updated.  A short and sweet forum for my goofy stories and frustrations.  The only problem is, facebook doesn't list an archive like blogger does, so keeping old posts isn't easy.

So I'm thinking I'll throw a few up here every now and then.  And if I feel like it, maybe I'll elaborate?

• Jacob insisted that he knows ALL the math in my linear algebra book. So I handed him my notebook and asked him to finish my problem for me. He looked at it, then said, "I said I know MOST of that. I can do the rest of the book!"

• Jake asked me if he can have my iPhone when I die. HA! I told him "No, because I'll probably be buried with it."

• Just pulled in the driveway right as The Cure came on the radio. Guess Steven and the kids will live w/out me for a few more min while I sit in the car and jam!

• Jacob: "One thing I know is that I can totally run faster than the treadmill, but don't worry. I'll try to keep it's pace."

• I just told Syd to get her finger out of her nose. She propped her hand up on her hip and said grandly, "But Mom, I a Doc-tor!" DUH! What was I thinking?

• So my husband says to me this morning, "Bye Honey! Be careful and STAY OUT OF JAIL!"

So maybe I should go ahead and elaborate on the last one there!  It's not that I have a problem with being arrested, or doing illegal things.  Although to give him some credit, he did say that he would bail me out.  But, I was heading on a super long road trip with Londie, and well, we do have sort of a reputation for having fun!  And come on, we're mormons.  Our kind fun is taking a bunch of 15 year olds to Walmart at 2 in the morning, buying 20 large packs of plastic forks, and letting the kids decorate the yard of the leader who ditched our sleepover at the last minute.  Even if it's not very mormon-like to deny deny deny...

We headed up to Fort Smith, picked up a 3rd member of our band, and drove over to St Louis to see one of our girls get married.  To say it was wonderful would be a gross understatement, but it definitely made the 40 hours I spent in the car that week worth it.  It was an amazing testimony of the Young Women's program!
