Random Questions That Run Through My Head Daily...

I have been having trouble lately making my brain slow down, I have thoughts running through my head all the time.... USUALLY these thoughts happen at night when I am trying to fall asleep. Weird thoughts sometimes, questions that I really do not have an answer for.
Here is a glimpse at a few:
1. Why is it when Chad is cleaning the kitchen he thinks it is clean when he moves the dishes from the table to the counter by the sink. (BUT... that is minor, we are healthy and happy at our house)
2. Why when people call and ask me what I am doing I say "nothing" but actually I am doing 25 things. (Because, I LOVE people and adult interaction)
3. Why does the mail man return mail to me if he knows exactly where it is going but the address if off one number, HELLO! HOW MANY JOY MASON'S ARE THERE IN MARSHALL!!! ESPECIALLY ON THE OAKS!!!
3. Why can I not stop worrying about people, I have come to realize that this is never going to happen?
4. Why can my sister in law not find an awesome husband so that I can have nieces and nephews and so I do not have to be a 50 year old bridesmaid.
5. Why do I not save money well?
6. Why can I not get all of my grading, and paperwork and ect. finished during the day? I have an awesome student teacher! I should be getting lots done.
7. Why does Carlee do EVERYTHING Connor does, like for instance, last night after their baths Connor had on sleep pants and opted to not wear a shirt (he has been doing that! he is getting way too big) Well.... a few minutes later Carlee somehow got her shirt off and decided she did not want to wear a shirt like nonnor. WHY???? So is she going to wear swimming trunks to the pool this summer????
8. Why does Connor ask me questions that I have no clue the answer? Like, where does the Easter Bunny live? How long does a turtle live without it's shell? How long does a shark live? What if a shark sees a fish that is his friend, he won' t eat him will he?
I am sure there are many more, I am just too tired to think of them!
It is Friday, LEAP Day! Have a great weekend... I will be doing laundry and cleaning my house. We will be outside tomorrow, it is going to be 63. If anyone wants to come over for a BBQ tomorrow night, let me know we are itching to do Spring activities. This is an open invitation! I LOVE people you know....

To Go to Mexico or not to go to Mexico??

So..... Chad and I have been throwing around the idea of going to Mexico with the Plummer's. We have not been on a vacation, vacation since Connor was 2 months old! We went to the Bahamas. It was a great time BUT.... I missed Connor so much!!!

Now, Connor is 5 and he told us to go for lots of days, he wants to stay with his grandparents and eat chocolate all day, jump on the bed, go to Wal-Mart everyday and buy toys and you catch my drift..... Carlee LOVES going places. I know they will be fine. My question is, will I enjoy myself enough to go or will I miss them the whole time??? The great thing about it is the trip is planned right when school gets out. Kind of a reward I guess, and then I get to be home with the kids and enjoy them all summer. What should we do??? Chad is all for it! He is ready to go!

So... "Ms. Thing" as we call her at our house is going to start gymnastics on Tuesday. She is the cutest little girl ever! She is funny, spunky, creative, tough and she is NOT Graceful!!! Funny... We always tell her the only grace she has is in her name Carlee Grace! We shall see how this goes. I really hope that I do not have to call Chad at work and tell him that she has broken her arm or leg trying to keep up with everyone else. She is always worried about looking around and watching everyone else rather than the task at hand which is usually just simply walking!!!!
Connor has decided he would like to also do gymnastics, Chad says he doesn't care, but he has mentioned that boys don't do that! That rule does not apply yet, he just turned 5!

On a side note, I have been going to weight watchers for over a year and I am not a life time member yet!!! I am determined to get there before summer!!! What the heck... it should not be this difficult! For those of you who think that have you ever been in a teachers lounge? I am celebrating the small successes I weighed in tonight and lost 1.4! That is after a girl scout cookie or 3.....
My sister Candice (DRILL SARGE!) has been calling, texting and emailing me to keep me on track, man she is good, she is keeping me focused.
Until tomorrow, have a great evening! I need to go check on my kids, they are way too quiet!

This is the first.....

So... Call me what you want, follower, copy cat, cheater what ever you wish But.... Drum Roll Please.... I am official blogger! I am going to try my best to keep up with this. I mean geez, my friends, my hair dresser which is also a friend, my friends friends, my niece, everyone blogs! I thought I would start for a few reasons:
1: I wanted to do this before Connor comes home from kindergarten next year telling Chad and I he has a blog spot.
2: My life is anything but boring! Ask anyone who takes their life in their own hands and comes over to our house. Yeah, I'll admit it is a circus and it is better than any comedy show you could buy tickets for. Here is a sneak peak to one of our shows:
Setting the scene: Connor is scratching his butt, being the anything but normal parents we are we laugh and Chad proceeds...
Chad: "Hey Connor, what are you doing?"
Connor: "Itching my butt, there is a flea on my butt biting me trying to get nutrition"
Chad: "What?"
Connor: "It's true, fleas bite people so they can get nutrition"
What! Who knows a five year old that says things like that! I do, his name is Connor McGraw!
Stay tuned for more....
