Tonight I stumbled upon several gut-busting-Maxine cartoons. You can find them either on Facebook or go directly to her site and view them for yourself.
Grab a cup of tea or coffee or perhaps hot cocoa... Then run to the bathroom (I don't want to be responsible for any accidents)... And finally check out Maxine.
Let me know if you didn't chuckle, snicker, or giggle just once.

Without laundry!
Oh my word, I swear we put two socks in the hamper and we end up with a dozen. Of course, we lose those newly reproduced socks in the washer or dryer.
Also somehow every t-shirt, pair of underwear, sweatshirts and jeans all end up dirty at once... and the owners of said items don't realize they are wearing the last clean one. When do the tell the laundry lady (aka "me") when they hunting in their closet or dresser for another one.
Now they should realize only mass reproducing happens in the hamper but once items are clean, they drastically decrease in number to an alarming state of extinction.
Tonight my girls (aka "Red and Maeve") are helping me with the laundry. Red is stealing socks the minute my back is turned. Maeve is dropping balls in the towel pile for our game of hide and seek later.

Without football!
Oh man did you see that game! That's what playing a sport is about. Giving it everything you got, and holding nothing back. It was intense! I enjoyed the game this year far more than the commercials.
Don't get me wrong, there were some good commercials like the M&Ms and the "missing cat" Doritos ads. But I feel for the most part I wasn't wow'd like I've been in past years.
Check back later for another post!

Without Social Studies Projects!
Tonight is the evening of Day 4 of my challenge to myself to keep blogging daily. If you read my first post today you know that I failed to post last night. Well, before crashing tonight I'm posting about my middle son's Social Studies Project.
He and a classmate chose the twelve Olympian Gods and Goddesses of Greek Mythology. The kids are amazing with what they are doing with a few Popsicle sticks, match sticks, aluminum foil, and modeling clay. Though, what mystifies me more is that my kid knows all sorts of interesting details about the Gods and Goddesses... and can name them all. Could you for the fun of it?
If you think you can, write them down and then check the link above... Let me know how many you were able to name.

Without succumbing to exhaustion!
So my best laid plans of posting to my blog daily were thrown out the window by exhaustion... So today I'll be writing two! Yes two blog entries.
I'm thinking bears who hibernate have a good idea. Sleep endlessly for the winter, wake up refreshed in the spring!
Think about it. Wouldn't it be wonderful to not interrupt dreams with the dreaded "snooze" button. You'd finally be able to see where your subconscious was leading you. Perhaps that solution to a difficult problem would present itself to you. "Now, where did I bury that last bone . . . ?"
*Beep, beep, beep*
"Ah, man... it was all a dream!"

Without trying something new!
Today I realized I don't know it all... about Facebook.
I updated a Facebook page for Amelia Grey. I learned how to edit an existing app. Which was made easy by the fact that I know html code. To some it may look like Greek, but I understand the shorthand. Guess that comes from the "Good Old Days..." of learning programming languages such as Basic and C.
A shout out goes to Chris Redding, Jenn Nixon and April Kihlstrom who all helped me! Thanks ladies!
What did you try today?

Without starting over... *again*
How many of you make the same resolutions every year on New Year's Eve?
Well I fell for it again and made all those resolutions about exercising more, eating better, writing daily blogs and/or posts, reading for the pure enjoyment of it, and of course purging then organizing every room in the house.
*sigh*
It's February 1st and it doesn't seem I made very much progress.
I've been walking now and again; because Old Man Winter has taken a vacation from visiting the east coast this year. But I could still exercise more.
I've been eating better, more wheat less white; and more fruits and vegetables less sugary sweats. But I guess I could eat smaller portions.
I've thought about blogging and I have posted to my FB page now and again. But I'd like to craft articles and perhaps a story or two and share it with others on my blog.
I've been reading books when time permits by Lynn Kurland and Amelia Grey. And when it doesn't I've started to listen to audio books too! But just last week I listened to Dogs and Goddesses by Jennifer Crusie, Anne Stuart and Lani Diane Rich.
I do have one closet 50% purged and organized! *Yeah ME!* But there is still 99% of the house that needs to be purged and organized... There is no time like the now to get started... it's never too late!
Where's your New Year's Resolution List... is it under a pile of to do's? Or is it posted on a cork board with check marks? What's left on your list?
