NY Giants 17 - New England Patriots 14





Did you see that? How exciting!! How awesome!! I walked in the door from work right when NE made their last touchdown. I thought I would just go on to bed. It's never
over 'til it's over, Right? But I didn't because of all the ribs,
wings, chips, cookies, cheese, and ummmmm what else, oh yeah fruit. Very balanced meal my husband made. In
reality, I wanted Eli Manning to win, but I didn't really care about the game. I love being able to watch the last 10
minutes and be done!! That is as long as my attention span is.

WHAT?

oh, I forgot.

I just have a thing for the Manning boys. They "seem" to be good guys, but all I know is what the media tells me. They're a reliable source from what I hear though.

So, From the sports desk, I'll see you next year.

HANDYMAN PAYTON




























WELL, I don't know if I have a carpenter, electrician, or contractor living here!!

However, as I was sitting here creating my "favorites" list, I decided it was time to get the kids moving on doing their chores before Dad came home.

To My Surprise, Payton was already starting on his and quite proud of it!!

P: "Look mommy, I have been using dis and dis." (showing me a screw driver and wine bottle opener)
M: "Oh that's good Pay, what have you been using them on?" (Thinking that he has been playing with his cars or food, but looking around and not seeing anything out of the ordinary)
P: "I making hoes... see..." (pointing to the wall under the light switch)
M: "PAYTON, GIVE ME THAT RIGHT NOW! YOU CAN'T BE PUTTING HOLES IN THE WALL!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?"
P: "Because, I want some one to go up dere wis the ting (pointing to attic) and put sunthing down"
M: "You better just leave it alone and clean your room up right now! You understand me? You are in big trouble, and I don't like that you did this!"

Now I have to tell you that while I am upset that he put holes in the wall, I really think it is quite funny and Mike can fix it. How long will it take to get fixed? I don't know, but it is fixable. As I was getting on to Pay, I had to hold both sides of my face. You know, like in Home Alone. I just did not want him to see me smile. That would totally ruin the mood I was trying to set.
I called dad to let him know, and he thought it was funny as well. BTW, I did let Pay know who I was talking to, and strongly encouraged him to keep cleaning his room. Mike and Pay just recently put in a electrical outlet in my entryway. Something I have been wanting since we moved into this house 8 years ago. See it might be a while before I get the wall fixed. And dad went "up dere wis his ting" and poked the wire down through the wall. Therefore, I will be blaming Mike. Is it his fault? No, but I will be blaming him. Just kidding. But the tool box that Pay and Dad made will stay in the shed from now on!!

Pay came and apologized to me and seen that I had his pictures on the computer. He points to the one of him and says that's my favorite picture mommy.

My punkin, you are so cute!!

MY FAVORITE THINGS!!!

Conversation Hearts by Neeco

I have loved "hearts" for as long as I can remember! There have been times when I have eaten a whole bag in a day. Not a small bag either! My favorite colors - pink, purple, and white!

Bath and Body Works hand soap

I love the variety! My love of this soap could be that I am a girl, or it could be that we used LAVA soap growing up. Anyone ever used or heard of that? Feels like you are washing with a piece of green sandpaper.

Guy’s who smell good

Here's my favorite! I have to confess that I was a sniffer when I was pregnant with Payton. There was a time during my pregnancy when I would go to the cabinet, get the dishwasher soap out, and sniff...for a while. There were no dirty dishes. Just me wanting to get my sniff on. I think I brain damaged Payton. He is even more of a sniff freak than I am. No stinky smells of any kind. However, his favorite book at this time is called I STINK. Figure that out.

Digital Scrapbooking

Never said I was good at it, but I do love the feeling of actually completing something. And oooooohhhh so much cheaper than traditional scrapbooking!

Skinny Hazelnut Latte (which replaces all time fav. Chi Tea)

mainly due to the fact that one is 130 calories and the other is 240 calories!

Grey's Anatomy

Alex Karev/ Justin Chambers
I just think he's HOT ( and I am sure he smells good)!


My weekend bag

My life is so much easier because of this bag. It took me about 6 months of traveling to realize getting my shampoo, conditioner, face soap, body wash, hairbrush, hairspray, q-tips, pony tail holders, deodorant, etc... every Friday evening was too much packing!! Now I get the bag and go!


My Laptop

When the weather is beautiful outside, I am just like you and want my children outside. My children are just like yours and want there mamma outside also. I can still read other peoples blogs or surf the internet while also responding to "Mamma, look at this, what I can do."


BLOGSPOTS!

I think I will need professional help to get me over this addiction. Have you ever sat at the blogger sign in page and clicked on some of the blogs that have been updated? Does this make me nosy or just inquisitive?

ARE YOU A MOM OR A DAD?

One of my friends e-mailed this to me and I thought I would share it with you.


Mom Test
I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something
off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from
her and I asked her not to do that.

"Why?" my daughter asked.

"Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's
dirty, and probably has germs," I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked,

"Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart."

I was thinking quickly.

"All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it,
or they don't let you be a Mom."
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently
pondering this new information.

"OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad."

''Exactly," I replied back with a big smile on my face.
