random weekend stuff

Why can't you look up a question on Google and have it come up "yes" or "no"? All I want to know is if the Health Care Bill passed or not. Yes or no. I don't want to scour 5 pages of articles to find out which is true or false. Thanks.

Was kind of offended earlier today when it came up in conversation with some friends that we don't have health insurance. One friend said "I bet you're hoping they pass the health care reform then" half jokingly. I don't think that's funny because no, I'm hoping it doesn't pass. Do we use government assistance? Yes. Do we abuse it? No. Is this reform going to help us? Don't see how.

I asked Big A the other day before my jog if the top I had on made me look fat. He paused and then said, "you look like you're trying to lose weight."

Um....thanks?

I found this great book I want called "Run Like a Mother" which lead me to finding this great website under the same name. I think their shirts are great, wish I could afford a few additions to my wardrobe right now. If you need some new workout attire, head on over to check it out.

Started to read "Water for Elephants" from the book exchange. Really good; I just haven't had the time to read so I'm only maybe 5 pages in.

I can't wait for the weather this week!! 50s and 60s. I just wish Squirt would get a pattern going so I knew whether he was going to take 1 or 2 naps during the day. And the time he wants to take them...if that could be the same every day, that'd be cool too. He is so not like his clock-work brother.

** That's all. Good night. **

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
