My (not so) Secret Shames

1. I listen to boy bands on my Ipod at the gym. And when I run on the treadmill next to guys I always run longer than normal to prove my awesomeness.

2. My flats make my feet stink really bad.

3. I change three times in the morning before I'm comfortable with my outfit.

4. I love me some crispy taco supremes from Taco Bell.
This one was for you, Hillary.

5. I hadn't cleaned my shower in two months until this week.

6. The hem came out on my black work pants three weeks ago and I still wear them. No one has even noticed that the hem stays in because of four carefully placed safety pins.

7. I'm not a morning person. I was forced to be one by motherhood.

8. I had a wart on my foot for 10 years, extracted from the swimming baths (pools) in Scotland. It was a nice little piece of memorabilia but thankfully it's gone. Gross, huh?

9. I eat way too many Hershey's kisses on a daily basis. 12 is a serving size you know.

10. I have nothing to say for this one but I have this weird thing about odd numbers. I just had to include number ten.

Ten on Tuesday

1. Cole has a fever. He woke up tonight screaming, scared out of his shorts about something. Poor little guy.

2. Both kids have Mother's Day parties coming up next week. I love it when they make me things and I'm excited to see what they come up with!

3. Kayley: "Ok Cole. I'm just going to sit on you for a while."

Cole: "Nooooooo!"

Kayley: "I'm not really going to do it, its just a figure of speech."

Interesting.

4. I'm so annoyed tonight. Why do some people think that they are fooling the world when in reality everyone knows exactly what they are doing?

5. Cole learned how to play brick breaker on my phone.

6. I love my Cole.



And he just crawled in bed with me. He's sick and something tells me it'll be a long night.

7. Cole looks like he's been out in the sun in this picture. He definitely has his daddy's skin tone.

8. I'm really hoping for a day this week that isn't dreary. I could use a little light in my life.

9. I wish I had something that stopped me from making dumb choices. You know, besides my conscience and self control.

10. I think I will sign Kayley up to play soccer in the fall.

I love...

...my Blackberry. I love that Joanna gave it to me. I love everything it does.

...fruit roll ups. I bought two of them, one for each kid, that will now need to be replaced before they realize they're gone!

...inside jokes. And I love people who are able to take a joke. If you can't you should lighten up!

...that my kids are just as weird as I am.

...the Chipettes from Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.

...Anjelah Johnson. She's hilarious. Whoa, I just realized she's in the chipmunks movie.

...the four way Facebook conversations with me, Krista, Kim and Hillary. We come up with the weirdest stuff.

...Trader Joes honey wheat pretzel sticks.

...this picture Kim took in November of 2008. Kayley was 4, Cole was 2. I find my choice of clothing weird and I love that Cole is being squished. I believe the kids also scaled the top of the batting cages with Tyler at this park. I can't wait till Kim and Peyton get here in May and we can have lots more fun photo shoots with the kids!

Oh, what a weekend.

I just want to sleep all the time. I bought Red Bull to wake me up because Diet Coke and coffee are just not doing it for me anymore.

I managed to go to the gym on Friday and did some good cardio. I'm surprisingly not sore at all. I think once I get back into the gym routine I won't be as tired.

Starting tomorrow I'll be working four days. I'm not sure what day I'll have off but this week it's Monday.

Here's hoping for a good week.

Ten Things I Want to Do

1. Go to a piano bar.

2. Put my toes in the ocean where I can see all the way to the bottom.




3. Get a facial.




4. Buy a house, maybe in England.




5. Visit Overton House. This is the place we lived for part of the time we were in Scotland. My heart will always love Britain. This picture is small but it's the only one I could find of the whole place. It's so incredible that we used to run around inside there and announce that dinner was served over the intercom! Good times.





6. Go on a cruise to Alaska.




7. Have a personal pizookie chef for whenever I want one.

8. Get a puppy. I don't know what kind.




9. Go back to school and get a degree in something.




10. Be teleported back to my teens so I can shop at Millers Outpost, get ice cream from Thrifty, wear overalls (yikes), go to youth group camps and flirt with boys, sacrifice comfort for jeans that are too tight but very sexy, sleep in until 1pm, make money but pay no rent, spend all my time with my friends and boyfriends and have little responsibility. Ah, those were the days.

The woman in this video is crazy.

Hillary, this is the one I was trying to find.

Friday

Friday. Thank goodness you've come.

Kayley and Cole are a really great reason to get up, go to work and live a normal life today.

If I didn't have them I don't know what I would do.
