Smile 'till it Hurts

Don't forget! Farmers Market opens Thursday!!!! Twenty different products each day!

Glorious sleep :) I actually got to sleep in until 9am this morning. Well, not undisturbed sleep, but sleep none the less :) Captain America and Jacob left for the youth temple trip at 6 something this morning, and I heard them out in the main part of the house.

Then, Jimmy woke up at around 7:30 am, and Joe and Eme shortly after that. But by 8am, they were doing something else (eating, maybe?), and I went back to bed. My mom called at 9am, and I was already waking up. I chatted with her for about 45 minutes, and then Tom came in with "breakfast in bed". What a sweetie! Eggs and toast. And they were actually GOOD! Jacob had taught him how to cook eggs a while back. Thanks, Tom! I really appreciated it!

And from there, the day went downhill. Nothing really bad happened, but it was a crappy day. You ever have days like that? Where nothing really goes wrong, but you just feel blaaah. It was one of those days.

I got up, showered, and got ready for the movie. I'd asked everyone I knew to come with us, and it seemed that no one was available to go. The kids were in the other room fighting SO bad. Screaming and yelling and whining and teasing and taunting and crying and hitting. Sigh. Not good.

I told them that if we showed up at the theater, and none of our friends were there, we were gonna skip it. And guess what? No one showed up :( We were all by ourselves. We went inside the theater, and I'd almost made up my mind to just go to the movies by ourselves, but they theater guy said that they'd given that showing to a daycare. And just didn't tell anyone. They didn't even change the board outside. How rude. Well, I guess that solidified my "No movie if no friends show up" position.

We loaded back into the truck, and headed to Wal-Mart. I had to get foot powder, body spray for Captain America, brown and serve rolls, cream of mushroom soup, cool whip, and a few other items. I ended up buying a new book (Cassandra Claire - Mortal Instruments series). Haven't started it yet, but I bought it - LOL!

I forgot to buy the French Fried Onions, but didn't realize it until later. Sigh. Hate that. Now I have to go back. I stopped by the PX to pick up my migraine meds, and took one the second I got it. Seriously. I had a water in my purse. LOL! My neck was starting to tense up, and I really didn't feel too good.

We went to the exchange to look around, then had lunch at Taco Bell. Their Chicken Burritos for $0.79 are YUMMY! We thought about going to Baskin Robbins (it's in the PX's food court too) for their dollar scoops of ice cream, but found out that it didn't start until 4pm. It was only 2pm. So we went home.

I put the stuff away that we bought, got the kids set up with a movie, and took a nap. I was feeling pretty crappy. I slept on and off until about 4:30pm. I got up, and started cleaning. We moved all the chairs to the counter, swept really good, moved the couches, and mopped everything. Eme did the kitchen, Tom did the living room, and Joe did the dining room (yeah, that one might need to be re-done - LOL). The house looks much better now.

We had pancakes for dinner, and I added 2 scoops of Captain Americas protein powder to the mix. Super pancakes, right?

So it's 7:38pm, and I'm just about to put the kids to bed. Or maybe we'll watch a family movie together. There's a new one that I saw at the theater that they haven't seen yet. That might be fun. With some popcorn. Maybe that will salvage the day. I just need to get out of this funky mood.

Here's an idea. Leave me a nice comment, and I'll come back throughout the day on Wednesday (I just LOVE reading comments), and pick a few to send free WordArt packs to. That would make me happy :) How about you? Would that make YOU happy too???

I need to plan out what I'm cooking and when for Thanksgiving. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll work on that :) Captain America works on Wednesday, but not on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I'll have my hubby back for a while! Woohoo!

I'm getting really excited for the Doctor Who Christmas special, which airs the day after Christmas here in the states :) Sweet! It's the 10th Doctors final episodes (it's a 2 parter). David Tennant, you will be missed at Doctor Who. You were my FAVORITE Doctor :( Here's the preview.

So, it's WordArt Wednesday week 72 today. Can you believe it. How time does fly :) Click HERE to go to Scraporchard to download the zip file. And remember, girls, you have to be logged into the gallery in order to get the download :)

One of our friends from Joliet (Illionis) had a baby recently, and he'd posted pics of his cute little guy on facebook, asking for a caption for the picture. Here's one for ya, Bill!
