So I know that I could possibly be the worst and most boring blogger ever. But I try, I really do. But for some reason I just feel like my life is at somewhat of a boring standstill. My days are definately filled with funny little children incidences and phrases. But as for anything too creative and happy coming to mind; it just isn't happening. I do apologize for this character flaw. I do have thoughts flooding my brain. However I don't feel as though they would necessarily spread joy to anyone.
I can give a small update though. Well, I have lost my husband to Halo II. (Thanks Mr Proudfoot) So I am trying to survive as a single mom. Just kidding, it's not that bad. Why is it though that we always give into our husbands? Or am I the only one?
Deakin is seriously getting so smart. His new thing is to ask what your name is. So I am telling him at least 20 times a day what everyone's name is. Addy is eating everything she can get her chubby little fingers on including playdough, wood chips, hot tamales, just to name a few. She is darling though and is crawling like crazy and pulling herself up on everything.
The kids and I are planning on going to Utah next month while JD is in Florida. Our dilemma though is whether to drive or fly. Flights are cheap right now but it's hard for me to justify spending money when we have a company car with free gas. Would I be crazy to do the drive alone with two kids? They both travel really well but it seems I am always reaching around the seat to get them something and that would just not be a good idea whilst driving. I've decided that drive is a lot like child birth. (Or worse) When it's been a while since you've done it you think "It's not so bad." But then when you're doing it you remember it could possibly be the worst thing you can ever remember. Only with this there is no cute little baby that comes from it. So input/encouragement is welcomed.
I was inspired by Ilene's 100 Things and I decided to make my own in my journal. I thought that would be a good way for my posterity to get to know me. So maybe I'll post a few of the more unique ones later. I have also been trying to find out how to post videos on here. Any instruction will help. (Ilene)
However, I do appreciate the blogging friendships and delight in hearing what's going on with everyone. Come to think of it, sometimes I'm a lot that way in friendships. Sometimes I'm a really good listener but don't have too much to say. I'm coming around you guys, I promise. I just want you to know I'm here, listening.

Just Simply Boring

Hey AShley! It was hard for me at first to blog because I felt like no one was interested in anything I had to say (and maybe they aren't!)...but pretty soon you'll get the hang of it and you'll become addicted like the rest of us!
Driving to Utah with 2 kids seems like CRAZINESS to me...but the free gas thing is super tempting. Flying with 2 kids might not be that much fun either, so I guess I don't have any good advice. You could always drug them really well before you left.
I think we all think we have nothing interesting to say. I definitely feel that way lately - but I am addicted and can't go too long without posting something. Don't fret about it, this is your outlet and we think you are interesting and kid stories are the best.
To get a video on, I just go to You Tube and made an account and download it there then at the end they have a thing for you to copy and paste into blogger. Oh, and driving with 2 kids sounds like a complete nightmare to me. But good luck with that. Maybe you could find a buddy to go with you or something.
I say drive to Utah, and make a pit stop here in Spokane. It is totally on the way.
Okay, not really but I think driving would be craziness unless you had a really nice friend to drive along with you (one that didn't mind the kid thing!).
So when are you heading out? We may be coming down to Eugene over Labor Day weekend. Not for certain though.
Yes, my husband is responsible for another halo death in a perfectly good family. Sorry Ashley and Brianne. I have a blog topic about that a-one.
Just keep posting, it's usually the dumb lame things (like towel racks) that make for fun reading. We all have the same "boring" life.
And Alison got the directions for You Tube for you. It's super easy. Call if you have any questions!
Okay, my novel is over...for now!
Miss ya!
Ashley! Don't you dare try to drive to Utah with two kids alone. That is a suicide drive. You'll never live! P.S. WE are having a girls night at my place tomorrow any time after 7pm. You are totally invited. I just decided today. I'll try to call you to give directions.
Totally crazy that you wrote how boring you think your life is, me too. I have to write about my brother and sister and all their drama to even have something to blog about. I feel like there are others (Ilene, Alison, Tara, Emily, etc.) that are SO good at putting the would-be boring stuff into such a funny story. I haven't quite gotten the knack of it, but I try to write. I tend to just vent about kids, husband, crap instead of trying to write something happy. I'm the downer in the blogger group. I make everyone think things are wonderful in their world. :)
Anyway, I agree that driving would be suicide...a long, drawn out suicide. Flying would be tough, but it's over much quicker and there's no reaching back, just reaching to the floor 500 times to pick up the toy/food/book that fell, again. Good Luck!
