Troll Baby’s new habit is stealing all change left out by the change fairy and filling up his “KiggyGank.” I’m pretty sure he has at least $10, accumulated over a week. At least he’s attempting to pull his weight around here. Oh and he’s also obsessed with wearing one of my stretched out hair scrunchies things as a necklace. Just try and take it off of him.
You know how all dogs go to heaven? Well, all poisoned ants go under the poker table where they shrviel up and die. I just vaccuumed up about 50 of those little carcasses. What a pain in the thorax.
Our furnace broke in the middle of this heat wave, two days ago. While we thought about replacing it, Daren’s buddy came over last night, replaced a fuse, and voila! Instant arctic. The funny part is this happens EVERY spring and neither one of us remembers to check the fuses. And we are raising children. Brit-twit’s kids stand more of a chance, really.
From the pics last night, you can see we’re spending some time near splash pads. We went again last night after school and dude behind me lit up a smoke. I quit 10 days ago and already the smell makes me want to punch someone in the face. It’s so gross. I’m glad I feel that way. The big test will be parties. And parties while drinking.
I just spent money on myself this morning (a rare thing, believe me) and bought these. Gorgeous, aren’t they?
Oh yeah, and we’re looking at houses. Not nutso, actively looking, just browsing. I can’t believe the kind of places we can afford. We’ve both always wanted a pool, and to live outside the city. Daren is talking about living in a brand new house - you know, picking the colours and stuff. After looking at a bunch online, I have to agree. What the hell is wrong with people who decide to paint their livingrooms bright fushia? Seriously. Head injury? Blindness? Oy.
Well I have to make lunch for the little gaffer, and then get to work. I love my job, but I have got to cut back on the late nights. For a while there, I was working from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m. and up at 6:30 to get Dylan off to school, plus working as much as I could in the morning, and while Troll Baby slept in the afternoon. Crazy eh?
Where is everyone? I’ve seen record traffic this week but hardly any comments. Do I smell? Did I forget to fill the candy dish? Ya’ll, is it too hot to type? I’m just sayin’.

I have a child that also learned the value of a piggy bank. Of course, now everything the child does is to get coins.
Fortunately, the coin value is not yet understood. That way, five pennies are more valuable than a quarter.

Her head would probably explode in my house. My current livingroom (soon to be the dinning room) is deep red. It intersects witha bright yellow hall called “Peach Butter” and with my Kitchen which is a deep viberant blu called “Songbird” My “sitting room” will evenually be either burn orange or grass green as it can be seen through the deep red room and the family room is still up in teh air b/c we may be doing a beadboard treatment for maxium wipability. It’s REALLY HARD to get marker and boogers off of Peach BUtter Yellow

When we purchased our last house, every single wall was a different color. Seriously. Every. Single. Wall. So we moved into our current one, and everything is white. White walls, white tile, white carpet. That is just as bad.

Karen,
I just started reading you a few days ago. I love your writing and your humor! Although I’m in one of my introverted reading only phases. By the time I come out of it, you’ll be saying, “we don’t need another one of your opinions or two cents again Teri!”
Anway you are the newest and loved, on my blogroll. Hope your day goes well.

I come here whether you smell or not ;)….oh and the matching panties are to die for! Very hot!

Nice bras and panties!
I highly recommend the new house experience. It’s a pain to wait for it to be built, but it’s fun to choose everything at the beginning. And there’s something to be said for not living in someone else’s designer nightmare.
