I'm in awe

everytime I hear more about this family. Oh, Jim Bob....
I really have no idea how they do it. He's a used-car salesman and she's at home with her gaggle of children. They must eat lots of and lots of spaghetti because I don't understand how you can afford anything else to eat. I think someone has a little addiction to being pregnant and having children. Maybe the Lord should deal with their over-production issues.

Michelle Duggar is 42. She has two sets of twins and has been pregnant for 12 years of her life. Curry asked her if 18 are enough.
“We would love more,’’ Michelle said. “We really believe that each child is a gift from God. We would love to receive more gifts if the Lord sees fit. I guess we’ll just wait and see.”

I don't think waiting is anything she knows how to do. This last baby was conceived 9 months after the birth of the last one!

Excuse me, I need to go throw up now.

The Story of Stuff

It's long but worth it to watch this

Dancing

Hey, kids have to be kids sometimes at least I was sitting there watching the whole time. I remember jumping on my grandma's bed all the time with my cousin.

The Apparition

Cousins

We spent a few days this weekend visiting with my cousin Desiree and her daughter Madelyn.

What the...

So, I have this thing with doctors, I don't really get them and I don't really like them, well.. most of them. I have a chiropractor I adore and the doctor who delivered Adam is great.

When I was in college I went to this doctor to see if he could figure out why I get such dark circles around my eyes. First off I waited so long in the exam room that I FELL ASLEEP! Then when this guy finally came in and started talking to me about my issue he actually said: "Oh, I wouldn't worry about your dark circles, you're pretty enough that no one will even notice."
WHAT!!?!? I wasn't coming to you out of vanity but for my own health. I left there pretty quickly and never went back.

Today I had a doc appointment with a endocrinologist (who came highly recommended btw). It took me a long time to make the appointment because our insurance doesn't cover regular doctor visits and I constantly feel guilty for spending $300 and getting basically nothing in return from a 30 minute visit.
Anyways, this doc is supposed to help me figure out why I only have 3-4 periods a year. (I know, it sounds fun and all but when you're only 31 and in your childbearing years it really sucks). After asking me all these questions about everything in my entire life he finally does a little exam, testing my reflexes, etc. While lying on my back he is looking at my legs and bare feet when he says "You need to take better care of your feet. You need to tell your husband to get you a pedicure." SERIOUSLY!?!?! I walked away from this appointment with A) more blood drawn from my body that will tell him the same thing it did in February's blood work and B) thinking I have horribly ugly mangled feet, which I DON'T!!!! Hopefully my feet improve when I see him at the end of December... oh, wait that's not the reason I went there was it....

Batman

It's a part of being a child - Underoos - and we bought Adam his first pair, Batman of course, last night. He was so excited to wear them but I insisted on washing them first. This child sat in front of the washing machine watching it go round and round waiting for them to be clean!

I guess I'll be looking for a sweet Batman costume for Halloween this year.

Toiletrees

While camping this weekend I showed Adam where he can pee between these two trees.
On the second morning Adam & I get out of the tent and I ask Brian where the toiletries case is in the car. To which Adam responds: "Mom.. the toilet trees are over here!" and proceeds to do his morning business on the the toilet trees.

I haven't laughed that hard in a looong time.

Family Vacation

We're back from our family vacation to Bruce Peninsula, Ontario. More pics on flickr

This is Pretty Amazing

You have to watch it to believe it.

Welcome to the World!

Major Congrats to my girl Sarah who has been waiting what seems like forever for this baby to be here safe and healthy.
