Some days I need to remember how wonderful my children can be. On days like that I will look at this picture:
(P.S. New pictures are up at Karrmedia for February. A little late but who’s counting.)

Well, I’m not sure if the MAN knows I’m free, but still, I am.
Of ads. Crappy, crappy, stupid, annoying, sucktastic ads.
I put ads on my blog when I was getting lots of traffic for whatever reason and let me just say they have been… stupid. I never earned a single cent. Seriously! What a bunch of jerks! So my blog isn’t “popular,” you’re here and that’s all I care about. They have weird rules about posting, pay almost nothing and they were going to put on these big pop-up banner things so goodbye ads and good riddance!
I knew I wasn’t going to get rich from my ads but good grief I at least hoped to get enough for a dinner at Chick-fil-A. Sigh.
Did you know that today is Blue Monday? Me either.
After Mike came home I was telling him about what a crappy day I had and he said it was because today is the most depressing day of the year, the Monday of the last full week in January.
So if you were feeling down today cheer up, at least you were not alone!
(Also can someone please explain to me how my husband knows SO many weird little details? I’ve learned many, many useless facts and unsavory euphemisms from that one.)
We’re enjoying the weekend, hopefully the last weekend of what will be known as The Holiday Break that Wouldn’t Die. It started innocently enough with a couple weeks of vacation during which we were entertained with Christmas and New Year’s and sledding. Ah but then there was the stomach flu and the blizzard and the Arctic temperatures and here we are in the second week of January and I no longer remember what it is like to only have one child to entertain (or apparently how to construct a sentence). We’re bored is what I’m saying. And I’m exhausted from trying to keep my two house-bound young offspring from murdering each other or causing me to start drinking before noon. Fingers crossed (and arms and legs for good measure) he will have school tomorrow.
Wondering how I’ve been doing it? So glad you asked, because I just happen to have some pictures! Shocking!
A big one is the Science Kit that was a present from Grandma Sarah. My kids LOVE SCIENCE. It almost brings a tear to my eye, I am so happy.
And also there was the Spaceship we built to visit Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, the three planets Nick most wanted to visit. After collecting some specimens from the surface of Mars I deducted that the surface must be littered with motorized trains. Huh, much like the surface of our house.
Can you spot the reason our Spaceship was destroyed? Zoey is pointing right at the Astro-Griffin we discovered after we came back from a mission on Jupiter. Apparently cats are equally annoying on every planet.
The unfortunate side-effect of this magnificent Spaceship was that it completely blocks the TV. About 2pm all I wanted was to turn on the electronic babysitter and take a nap, but thanks to my genius we had to JUST KEEP PLAYING. So we built this:
All bow before the Queen of Sodor! I rule the Island with an iron fist! Productivity is through the roof and don’t even get me started on route expansion, we’ve branched out all the way to Lower Food Shelf with the new road construction.
I’m beat, and praying for warm weather.
