what does it mean?

when I have been so lazy and sluggish off and on (mostly on) every day since friday. With this whole "I could care less about picking up my house and running around like crazy getting things done," which is not usually my attitude (well... before friday) Don't get me wrong, Ireland is well fed and looks cute everyday and is happy as are the kids I watch but before and after I have kids here, ALL I WANT IS SLEEP!  really, nothing helps, no soda or water or vitamins or sleep helps. Any ideas? My headaches are back, so maybe that's it. or weather change?

 anyway... I still have some way sweet moab pics that hopefully I can post tonight. Also my website is up for the hair bows I make. The bows on it now are all ones I made a while ago, I have about 15 new ones that will be added soon, so I will update regularly. check it out here if you wish>>> babyirelandbows

So I decided....

That I think I might like Utah now. In the 24 years I have been alive, I have lived here and always wanted to get out. We just got back from our amazing weekend away to Moab. Never been? Never heard of it? It was my first time too. My family goes every year, and I always manage to get stuck in Salt Lake and not get to go. Last year I had a good excuse. I had a baby two days before they went. :)  Anyway so it was a blast and as anyone who knows me knows I will have up way too many pictures soon of this trip. And hear all the stories.

    Here is one because I need a laugh and I always laugh at myself. As I was told this weekend..."If you can't laugh at yourself, someone else will" or something like that. Anyway. I won't go into details but I have always been THE clumsiest person alive. And this is some examples to prove my point: In the four days I was away, I ran into the open car door and have a ginormous bruise going up and down my thigh, i ran into the door handle at the hotel and have some lovely stomach pain. I hit my forearm on the door thingy (what is it called) and have a red welt on my arm, I hit myself in the face with a pool stick (attempting to be good playing pool) and I sat on some cactus and felt pokies in my butt for most of the day. 

LOL are you still laughing at me. no, its ok, I will wait. 

done? so get this.... my new nickname is mandicapped. believe it.

pics coming soon. have a wonderful evening

I'm happy now :)

LOL so there is nothing I can do about my car. :(  Oh well I guess. (for now)   anyway, life really is good and I cannot let that stand in my way. 

Items of business. 

#1. Ireland is too big and too smart. She finally got her big girl car seat turned around. She still has a bad milk allergy and am waiting until the 21st for her one year check up to find out our options. She is learning more sign language  and can sign a couple words at a time. like more and eat when she wants more food. what a doll! :)  

2. we bought her a fish. the entire time in the store she called all the fishes "doggies" so.... we named her fish Doggy. what can I say?  :)  :)

3. Halloween is approaching fast and still no costumes for Daniel, Ireland or myself. Anyone know of a cute elmo costume, for Irey??

4. We are going on vacation in the morning. Yes! Jeeping, and hiking, and relaxing and what not. sooo pumped!

5. I missed most of  The Office tonight. what?! not cool :(  lol

6. My house is not spotless and for this moment I could care less. Hey, that's a big deal for me! 

7. I am not packed but am taking time to do this. 

8. My website for my bows that I am selling is almost up. The site is under construction, but when its up you should take a look. :)

thats all. have a lovely day

I am so....

Ok. I am obviously upset, and I have not vented in a while, and right now I am pretty dang upset so I apologize (well maybe not) for some stuff I may say. And I wont say bad words because I am a lady. 

Here is why I am ticked. Daniel tells me something happened to my car. (something I wouldn't notice because I have not driven since april. Daniel takes my car each day) He said it looks like a dog tried to get a cat or something on my hood. that there were some pretty nasty scratches on my hood going down the sides of my car. I don't know car parts so sorry if I name the wrong part. the front bumper?? it had scratches and the fender?? was pretty bad. well I was obviously ticked and forgot until tonight. I saw my car. WHAT IN THE HECK?!?!?!?! what happened to my car? it is bad!! it is way worse than I thought. it is destroyed. 

** Now I have done enough dings and small bumps in my car which irritated me enough and I have been rear ended and slammed how many times?? how many times has this car been taken in for a new bumper, then a door and a new exhaust because people hit me??? that is bad enough, but the reason I am so upset about THIS is because of this: OBVIOUSLY a dog did this to my car which means someone let their dog loose. (which only two people that daniel and I know of let their dogs run around as they please) So either the owner saw the dog and called it away and didn't see the damage or did and never said a word which is irresponsible or the owner didn't even see the dog do it, which is irresponsible. really. we can't figure out who let there dog destroy my car. But the dog was obviously at it for quite a while going back and forth around the hood. So where are the owners? 

Daniel and I are very very upset. As we have every right to be. And if anyone wants to leave a comment saying so what? its just a car.... please just don't comment at all. Daniel bought me that car right before we got married and nothing but bad things have happened to it. I am so over being upset about all this damage. ahh. ok. I THINK I am done. lol. sorry for the ramble but I needed to vent about our anger. 

P.s. have a lovely day. 

Girls night!

Ok, as usual like all my posts I need to set this one up. Now I had a crazy day Friday with it being Irey's birthday and what not, so all of us lovely ladies needed to get out! A break. a laugh. So Brian and Daniel watched the babies and we all met up at applebees for a late dinner. (think around 9 pm) and was super silly and loud. As usual people thought we were drunk. Which is obviously not true. We had fun like usual (yes we do this alot) talking with our waiter Damien.

we left around midnight-I think- to start our fun

dinner:

**** WARNING**** alot of these pics I will probably be dead for posting but we had so much fun, come on!! Sorry If no one thinks these sound fun but we seriously had a blast and how could you not have fun when you get US together??

Keily and I while driving back to my house:

and again:

So we left my house all in one car to head to walmart. yes I said walmart, as in we were going there for our fun. lol. there is actually a really fun game to play. the more people the better.
