I am coming back, watch out!

So, after months of grouchy antisocial behavior I am finally deciding that I can be nice every once and a while. It seems like all Fall I have been in a funk. I think this is largely due to the fact that we took our unlovable house off of the market and I had to embrace the fact that I have to live a million miles away from where I consider home. This was really hard for me because I want to be more social I just feel like I live so far away nobody wants to drive "all the way out here" and so I just got depressed I think. I had a really refreshing lunch date (you know who you are) last week and it just put me in a good mood, so on that feeling I had some friends over to play Friday night while Taylor went to kill innocent ducks. Here is a bit of the action.

I do exist

I know that you are all sitting in your living rooms across the world thinking...wow, I am so sad that Christa is too lazy to blog. I know that her life is so thrilling and I need to live vicariously through her. Well, your wish has been granted. I am alive, I have just been grouchy and antisocial since...October probably (I think that's a problem), and the funny thing is last time I posted I was coming of this rocking stomach bug and what do you know I am coming off one again. This one took our family out one by one and now....it Damn sure better be gone! Since I last posted...
Well there was a lovely Halloween full of batman and Tony Romo...Thanksgiving was full of turkey and turkeys...There were school programs...soccer games...Christmas parties...presents...skiing...freezing....puke...more puke... and now here we are today. You are now fully updated on our super fantastic lives. I would love to impart great wisdom or have some great "thing" to tell, I just don't know what it is yet. I officially promise to try to be a more responsible blogger (:

I think I might be broken!

So, every time (not kidding) Taylor goes out of town I get sick. Maybe it's the anticipation, maybe it's the fact that I am completely addicted to him, maybe it's that I don't sleep when he isn't here... what ever it is, it happens. Last Wednesday Talor left me for a "business" trip to Maine. I say "business" because it's the fall in Maine and I saw the freaking pictures. So, short story long, Friday afternoon I just fell apart. I got in bed at four o'clock in the afternoon and had Hunter take care of Cooper. I am ashamed already, but he really is an amazing brother, I listened intently to every detail. Hunter waited up for Taylor until 11pm. I have been a heap of tummy bug since Friday and eating hardly anything, and what I did eat was BLAND. Last night we watched Supersize me, the McDonalds will kill you documentary, and Taylor ate during the entire movie. Well that movie is backwards because all I could think about all day today is McDonalds and I oddly got crazy insane for food. So here I sit, sick in pain having just eaten pizza and french fries, who does that? ... I think I might be broken!

One day I will post again!

So, school started and I forgot to blog. I get so busy reading up on all of your lives I neglect to update you on mine, sorry.

see, he does go out like this!

We had a last day of summer celebration today, this really is what Coop wore all over Stonebriar mall and GattiTown.

Home Sweet Home

As many of you know we want to "relocate" and have had our house on the market for about a year. I have said a thousand times that when school starts the house is off the market, I am done messing with it. Well, that day is approaching quickly and of course a showing was scheduled 30 minutes before they wanted to come today. I am a pretty (ocd) neat/clean person so this is not a big deal, we stuffed the clean laundry in the washing machine, did the floors and wiped down the bathrooms. I baked cup cakes, and ran through the house spraying this delicious pear air freshener. I love that smell. We left and went to a movie. When we returned home 5 hours later I opened the door and breathed deeply to see if the smell of the yummy pear lingered. I looked at Taylor and said "It smells like a pear turd in here." I was annoyed by that. A little while passed and Taylor said, that pear stuff smells funky, what is it? Well, I went to go tee tee in the boys bathroom. I opened the lid to the toilet and there in the toilet was a giant turd and about an entire roll of toilet paper. I called to the kids to see what they knew and one of them confessed to doing this and closing the potty to hide it. I could absolutely die of embarrassment! So, for those of you who prayed for my house to sell, I think it will take some divine intervention to have that happen this year. I only share this because I know that all of you take such pleasure in the suffering of others (:
