One Productive Day

I think I have recovered from the weekend (except for a few gurgles from my tummy) but my house sure hasn’t. Mondays always seem to be my rebooting day. I have to reboot my brain to get back into Mommy mode– Time to get Busy!! I’d love to lay around some more and relax but my kitchen needs the dishwasher emptied and reloaded, the blankets from my sons crib need to be washed from his blowout that he managed to mush all over, the drawers in my bathroom have been completely emptied, and my fridge and pantry are running so low that my husband told me I had to go to the grocery store TODAY. Hummm… the beginnings of a great week.

One lovely thing did happen today. Remember the bed with no slats (I tried to put the link in but it didn’t work)… well my husband is a great guy but I would never want to do business with him because, man, he will call and pester you until he gets what he wants. He called the manager where we bought the bed and turns out there were slats in the back room. The night crew was clueless!! Arggg. They had acted so confident when we had pressed the issue. I can really be a pushover. So… anyhoo… our mattress is now up off the floor and ready to sleep in to night. No carpentry for me! Yea. That is all I’m going to do in it tonight… SLEEP!

I now have realized that I spelled exhaustion wrong in Sundays blog… you may, by now, realized that I am not the brightest bean in the bag. If fact, once, I couldn’t remember how to spell the work OF. I kept trying to make OV work. It makes sense right? OOOVVVV. Lets all say it together… au-vvv… the English language is crazy. It wasn’t until I was married that my husband told me that the word frustrated wasn’t pronounced fustrated… “I’m so fustrated!” I had no idea there was an R after the F. No one told me. I’ll chock it up to public education. So if you love me… overlook my misspelled words and confused grammar. (I’m obsessed with spell check (otherwise you’d really know how bad I am)) :-P

For the rest of the evening I’m going to work on some “bootyful”(as my 3year old princess says) layouts on photoshop to post tomorrow. He he, Fun for me!

    Anyone who can come up with “brightest bean in the bag” is brilliant. I can spell but I can’t do math, a lot of good that skill does me now that we have spell check. Sigh.

    Hey, I get to be first? Well, I just reread the comment I left on your other post and there are several mistakes in it! I agree, the English language is nuts. I realize that all the time when I’m trying to explain something to my daughter. Like, no, that’s not the right shoe. Well, I mean, it is the RIGHT shoe, but you need the left shoe so that right shoe is actually wrong. And I don’t know how she’ll ever understand the concept of death, with the way we talk about batteries and phones dying. She used to say “She died” when the person she was on the phone with hung up.

    Oh, and as a dorky 13-year-old, I made up my own version of the English language, where everything was spelled the way it sounded and I eliminated superfluous letters like C.

    And again with the long comments. I can’t shut up either, apparently.

    I’m with Kerfloppy, I need math check!!! hahaa.
    How’s the tum?

    ~K!

  4. I have problems with “of” too! Sometimes I cannot figure out how to spell it and the only thing I can come up with is “uv”. I’m so glad I’m not alone!

    I am the queen of mistakes, mostly because I hate to proof read … if I do I will end up changing and rewriting over and over again … and who in the heck has the time for that?

    So this is both on and off topic … the link on your blog roll to: Simply Clean Digi Scraps is not working … you have a http// that you don’t need.

    Nice site :) great header!

  6. NAK here ( just learned that one – nursing and typing) so excuse the shorthand please.
    - well, I am gald you are feeling better.
    - I can’t wait to see the layouts; I so want to do more digi scrappin’ myself (learnin’, learnin’ learnin’)
    - I so spell worse than you! Uh- huh. I’m dyslexic and most the time ‘of’ is ‘fo’ and ‘from’ is ‘form’ (spell check doesn’t catch that one)

  7. See, i can’ teven get the shorthand right
    NAT nursing and typing or NAK nursing at keyboard. DUH. Lame. See the big L at my forehead.

    he he. You guys are sooo funny. I’m glad I’m not the only one out there. I love to see mistakes. I also love to see other kids in the malls having tantrums. It makes me smile. I’M NOT ALONE!!
