Not Yet

I have LOTS of Christmas pictures to blog...but haven't put them on my computer yet. I'm not sure why. We've been cleaning, hanging out, enjoying our time together...maybe it has something to do with Roby not being here and me not fully feeling in the spirit??? Who knows. I will get to it, hopefully tonight after Natalie's appointment to get her three teeth pulled. Yes three. She pulled the one out, but that's it. She has been VERY upset about this appointment for the last several days. Esp because Roby isn't here and she really wants her Daddy. It breaks my heart. But daddy can't always be here and I'll do my best to be both for her. Cross your fingers for me that it goes well! Her appointment isn't until 5:30 tonight because they wanted it to just be her in there...

I know I won't be on the job market until the middle of 2011, but I love seeing this, and I see it almost every time I see a list like this. On the Yahoo homepage, they had a list of the most secure jobs for 2010. On that list? Dental Hygienist! LOVE IT!

I saw this, and couldn't help but share. Its a little long, but quite cool how people would take the time to help these little guys out.

One last thing for today, I borrowed this one from here, laughed, agreed with some (* or **), didn't relate with others, what do you think??? :-)

Guys, we love you, we really do. But as wonderful as you are, every so often you do something that makes us want to jump out the nearest window (or push you out first). Please, please, don’t ever…

**1. Offer to “babysit” your own kids. When your 16-year-old neighbor does it, it’s called babysitting. When a parent does it, it’s called child care, and it lasts for at least 18 years. Get it?

2. Imply that office work is harder than housework. At the end of a hard day, there may be smoke coming out of your ears, but let’s face it: You’ve basically been sitting on your butt. That same smoke is coming out of our ears too—but we’ve cleaned the house, shuttled the kids around, run errands all over town and lugged grocery bags besides. When we say we’re exhausted, we are exhausted.

*3. Give a home appliance as a gift. Forgive us if we can’t work it up for this one. A new washing machine? Really? Can we get you some new snow tires?

4. Buy us the “cougar” perfume. Under our crew-neck sweaters may beat the heart of an untamed vixen—but most of us don’t want to smell like one. (Nice try, though.)

5. Brag about your driving. This is supposed to let us know that ours isn’t so great. If my husband tells me one more time that he’s been “accident-free since 1978,” I’m going to reach over, grab the wheel and make the car swerve into something, just to shut him up.

*6. Be unimpressed by a meal that took a lot of time and trouble. I don’t know whose fault this is (Food Network? Julie and Julia?), but every so often we get the idea that it would be fun to make stock and spend the day basting. If the result is less than earth-shattering, say something nice anyway.

**7. Buy clothes without trying them on. We know that the second you get into a department store you start to feel faint, but do us a favor and take the extra five minutes. Otherwise, you know who gets stuck with the returns?

8. Know it all, especially in public. Oh, honey. While you’re going on at length about whatever it is, we’re taking the temperature of the room, and we know everyone’s starting to fidget.

*9. Say anything remotely critical about our new haircut. Sometimes getting a new cut goes well; sometimes it doesn’t. Usually we know the difference. Don’t rub it in.

*10. Expect a medal for doing a little housework. Umm…it’s your house too, right? For now, we’ll give you the bronze. Maybe someday, if you work hard enough, you can pick up a gold.

I'll post pictures soon I promise!!!
