Odd things said in my house

me to Husband: "I don't think I can explain the subtleties of smut to you."

me to Bug: "Don't lick the couch"
"that doesn't mean you can just go lick your brother instead"

me to D and Suv "this is a bad thing and it is all Husband's fault"

I'm Alive!

Just normally really worn out by the time I get home, and then it's dinner and bath and put the kiddos to bed. And after that I just want to relax.

Long story short, I need to make time to blog again, I just am lazy and tired by the end of the day.

Why I'm almost never on Facebook....

A lot of people will make comments when I say that I dislike facebook, most common I hear these two 'how do you stay connected to people?' 'why don't you like facebook?'

1) I stay connected to people by actually talking to them, or texting. Although, I'm not the best at keeping in contact with people. If I want to talk to someone, or if they want to talk to me they know how to contact me.

2) One of the biggest reasons I dislike the site is people just fight so much! Maybe I see this alot because I have friends that will post things that if it can be taken controversially, it will be. Plus Husband can be a little bit of a troll, and will go looking for trouble sometimes.
This is the crux as to why I hate it so much, it's all pointless! Seriously! People get so bent out of shape trying to make people on facebook change their mind, it's never going to work! Even trying to have a healthy discussion with someone who disagrees with you turns into a fight.

All that will come of it is frustration, and there is no constructive way to get rid of those feelings, and the people closest to you aren't the ones that need to suffer from your temper over these things.


I suppose I get more frustrated than most because I see Husband get so frustrated that people don't listen to him, especially if he is right, now in person things go much better, but online I can just see him getting more and more frustrated until I finally 'ground' him from the internet to get him away from all the negativity.


So there you have it, my little mini rant about how I hate facebook.

Question

Does anyone know where I can go to laminate something that's larger?

Trying new things

So I have a plan, and since we all know how my plans normally turn out (big ideas, not a whole lot of return *sigh*) I'm starting small. I'm going to be getting up at 5am every day. 

Why I'm trying this is that it will force me to go to bed earlier, as well as giving me time by myself to 'prep' for the day without kids running around while I'm trying to get myself ready to walk out the door for work. 

So far (keep in mind this is day one) it's gone okay, I'm up -obviously- but I've been up since 2:30, because I woke up suddenly with no cause and couldn't shut my brain off to go back to sleep. Since then I've made coffee, goofed off and after this will be taking a shower and ironing my shirt for work, then relaxing until I have to leave. If things continue, preferable without having to get up at 2am instead of 5, I think this will work well for me. 

I'm Sorry

I just can't lately, I can't post, I can't get anything done around the house, I just can't do anything lately. It's so hard and so frustrating.
I just start out with so many spoons at the beginning of the day, and somehow they just all slip away before I can make it home from work, and I just feel like I'm running on empty at the time when my family needs me most. Which just drains me so much. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about when I say spoons, click the link above, it's a wonderful article and one of the better explanations that I've seen to explain when I"m feeling just so utterly drained and just feel like I can't function any longer)

I know I'm not, but I just feel like such a failure all the time lately. I know it's very draining for Husband to try to support me as well as keeping everything up around the house, because I'm not much of a help (well, I'm more of a hinderance the last week or so rather than a help)
I don't want anyone to worry about me, I'm doing okay, for the most part, I just need somewhere I can out my feelings and just kind of word vomit somewhere other than in Husband's ear.

A post, before I forget it again (again)

Alternate title: Why I believe The Silence are real.

Now that alternate title might not make sense to everyone, so let me explain. The silence are a Doctor Who villain, and they can only be seen when you look at them.(Pictured below)

When you look away from them, you forget you've seen them and what had happened when you had them in your view.

Now as to why I would argue they might exist, I first noticed it Sunday. Husband (at least I assume it was Husband, because it wasn't me) moved the corkboard pins in the bathroom into a heart shape. I noticed the change on Sunday, but everytime I leave the bathroom and think that I need to tell him that I appreciate the gesture, the thought is just gone from my mind.
(By the way Husband, I think the little pin heart is adorable.)
Further proof, the heart had completely skipped my mind by the time I finished my shower and came out here. The only reason I remembered is because I sent myself a message not to forget.

Long story short, if you see tally marks on my arm, know the silence are about and I've seen them, I just don't remember it.
