mrs. palin
i had my second dream last night about sarah palin.
the first one:
i ran into her & her hubby at target with my mom & sister. we started talking
and quickly became best friends. i told her about my life,
she told me about hers, la ti da de do...
our carts just stood in the candy isle while her husband held the baby.
the second one:
we were fighting about something. i can't remember what though.
don't worry; it was totally a BFF sort of fight.
2 dreams?
it must be a sign.
that's it! i'm voting for the lady.

4 things
<1>
kelly has convinced me.
i'm keeping them and proud of it.
because it was raining, i got to wear my hunters to school.
can you believe my dr. laura-ish professor complimented me?
i was so flattered.
<2>
paisley has started solids.
and boy does she love them.
a girl who loves food.
she must be mine.
<3>
i watched a show tonight.
it was called our 27 kids. these people are amazing. they have 4 bio kids and have
adopted 23 others all with special needs. and get this...
they love their life.
makes me think twice about complaining when my kids act up.
<4>
a mystery.
this photo snuck onto my camera. who took this i ask myself?
it happened while i was in austin.
my suspicions lead me towards carlos.
am i right?
what do you think this is a picture of?

where my time flies
time has seemed to have gone missing.
i find it hiding in this book.
i have been preparing for my nursing entrance exam that
i will take at the end of this month.
this TEAS test will be the end of me i think.
i find that when i am under pressure, i tend to play this game with time. for instance... i need to study this manual for 2 hours a day, so my mind is also telling me that i "need" to:
sew
cook
clean
garden
create
blog surf
clean some more
create some more
&
write thanks you notes
all right now.
i have perfected this trick of talking myself out of studying because i "have" so many other things to do that are more important.
and so my weekend included:
starting a quilt for whom i know not
i let the boy help me backstitch by pushing the button when i say so.
he follows direction so well. sometimes.
gardening
(at least this duals as fun parenting, since i let the boy play in leaves while i weed.
yes! 2 birds with 1 stone!)
with all of these games and trickery, you'd think i'd make
time to pluck my eyebrows!
does anyone else have this problem?
not the eyebrows.
the under pressure game?
