catch up

So, I think that this may have been me had I forced myself to stay at my job any longer then I did. I joked that I would have just dropped down and thrown a three year old style tempur tantrum, but perhaps -- this is what the grown up version looks like....

This weekend was fabulous. Friday we spent the day running errands, as we did on Saturday also. Painting the house, cleaning the house, organizing, etc. It's nice to get rid of heaps of crap that we no longer use/need. I love freshly painted walls as well. Let's cross our fingers that our children haven't hidden crayons or any other sort of contraban in our home! Sunday brought the Vintage VA Wine Festival at Bull Run. My bestest Amy and I took the kids with us, and had a fabulous time. The wine was spectacular, the entertainment was almost as good, and the weather was perfect. The kids even behaved... All around, great time. There are several others throughout the summer, mostly down in the Blue Ridge mountians. We might have to take a road trip, and enjoy the sceanery as well as some fab. wine!

Yesterday a girlfriend of mine came over with her gorgeous son, and we had a mini-play date, enjoyed lunch and the all important coffee frap. (triple shot - mom juice) together. It's always good to spend time with other mamas.... especially cool ones. Not to mention, our husbands are like carbon copies of each other. Not in looks, but in thoughts, and actions, etc. Anyhow, it's strange -- between one of my best friends giving birth to her gorgeous daughter on Friday (Savannah Louise was born May 30th, around 5pm -- weighing in at 9 lbs, 21 in! Mommy and baby are wonderful!), and being around a newborn, I still -- strangely have no desire to create another one of our own. I am enjoying the two that we are so lucky to have, and don't know how adding another to the mix would fair. I believe the natives would get restless and things might get a bit.... I dunno, insane. And, since this isn't a job that I can quit -- I've got to make those decisions, CAREFULLY :)

So, Hillary says she's open to VP position.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, of course you are. You stupid, yadda yadda yadda. At least the kids won't have to grow up in a foreign country now. I swore that I'd leave the US had she been elected President. I'm not the biggest fan of Obama either, well... not really at all, but he's better then the she-devil Clinton. And, I'm not banking on the fact that there will be a democrat in office as so many people believe. I think John McCain has a fair shot at this, and I'll give him my support, 100%. Except, if he wants money -- he'll have to call someone else. 'Cause, I'm... well, unemployed. HA :)

Camping AGAIN this weekend. With my dad, his GF, her kids, and mom, and of course our whole brood. It's Marleigh's birthday, Sunday, and we'll celebrate while we are up there. I can't believe that my baby is now three. It's amazing how fast time goes when you have children. And, it's even more incredable to think about how, in just 10 short years, she's going to be the bane of my existance. God help me when my daughter becomes a teenager.

Christopher was just saying last night that when she turns 11 he's going to put invisable trip wires for the alarm all over the place so that she can't sneak boys in, or sneak herself out.... I believe the qoute was.... "Boy, you got 15 seconds to go back out the way that you came in, and no -- you can't have your pants back!" Oh, maybe I should be praying for my childern, and not me! :)

*SIGH* I swear that I have more sleep in my body at the moment then I have in 3 years, and it feels amazing. I keep getting texts, and facebook messages, of people wondering if I'm bored. I just laugh. They must not know Connor and Marleigh very well..... I'm not bored, I'm so content. I'm so lucky, really -- to be able to stay home. Not a lot of women have that option. But, then again... not a lot of women are married to Chris Jones (actually that's a pretty common name, there probably are a lot of women married to A Chris Jones), but not MY Chris Jones :)

And now, to break up the week, as it is hump day... hope this makes you laugh! (LOVE The Whitest Kids You Know)
