Hope, Mormons and Other Random Crap

Today is the last day of ski lessons...and I couldn't be any happier. While signing up for said ski lessons the adventure of packing two toddlers up the mountain one in full gear the other in full whine meltdown mode never occurred to me. Nine weeks of that craziness will give anyone a little perspective. Nevertheless, I'm signing up for next year. Mostly because I enjoy having something to complain about but also because the boy is actually skiing. Like, wow. He may actually be better than me which to be honest isn't all that difficult but still.

The other day while driving in the car my son turns to me and says, "We shouldn't cut down trees."

"Oh," I said, "Why not?"

"Um...because Gummi Bears live there!" he exclaims.

Hmmm, I think the preschool we are attending is charging too much or maybe he just cares way too much about his Gummi vitamins.

Currently I have 21 books checked out from the library.

Send help!

It's the second Friday the 13th in as many months. Does this not scare anyone else?

Oh! The Mormons stopped by yesterday. And, the boys were very interesting. They are coming back next week.

When I told my husband, he says that staying home is ruining me.

I say, if you want to sit down and talk to me about interesting stuff for 30 minutes, I'll get the cookies and tea. I mean it's the least I could do, they are out here knocking on doors for two years. I'll throw them a bone and listen...even if I just want to hear another adult speak...wait...is 19 an adult? Yes? Okay. Good.

Have I ever told you what a sucker I am for solicitors? No? I have meat in my freezer, magazines in my mailbox, discount cards in my wallet, cookies in my cupboard and leaflets everywhere from solicitors. Each one I felt sorry for. And, guilt, is something I do very well!
