Shot Down

Today I asked Trevor to get in the car and drive to Seattle for the weekend.
I need more adventure in my life.
He said no.
He has to work.
BOO FOR WORK.

I have concluded the following:

I have issues with "real" life.
I find no satisfaction in doing the same routine. day. by. day.
I think Trey is more like his mom in this regard.

Here are some more play by plays:

Trey came into bed with me at 6am. When I woke up at 830am. He was still asleep and covered in my drool. Apparently, I'm a drooler. Poor child.

My brother is coming to live with us in Tminus 3 days. Maybe a teenager around will liven things up!? Either that, or cause me to tie my tubes.

I want to buy a chicken and see if it really runs around once you cut its head off. PETA hates me right now.

I am getting my hair done tomorrow. Finally. My roots are like a dark abyss. I stare at them and feel like a frumpy mom. I can't handle it. If anyone has any hair ideas (color/cuts) for those of us with poop blonde hair and a fro, please HELP. (I know this is a really dumb thing to blog about, but those of us who worship new highlights GET it).

I really REALLY want to see Time Travelers Wife. I honestly HATE chick flicks. LOVE Rachel McAdams.

We still have no future home. At least, if we live in a cardboard box, I won't have to clean.

Speaking of boxes, Yesterday, Trevor picked up a crazy homeless dude. He was leaving his parents ranch and found the guy lying at the end of their gravel road next to the railroad tracks. Mind you, they live off a two lane highway in ten buck two. So naturally, he picks him up the toothless man. I was terrified he was going to get his throat slit.

Last night, Trey woke up at 1am, 2 am and 4 am. Why you ask? Because of the 3 cop cars outside our white trash neighbors due to a "domestic" disturbance. Third night in a row.
That cardboard box is looking better every night.

Utah moms give me a complex. HOW can you have that many children and still be so skinny, so well dressed, so perfectly decorated etc etc. When I sometimes forget to put deoderant on with just ONE child?

I am crazy excited to meet my nieces.

HAHAHA!! You seriously crack me up! I feel the same way on most of those...minus the getting a chicken and seeing if it will run around headless...ahhh...lets be honest...Who wouldn't want to see that at least once!

I have a deodorant stick in my bathroom, one in my car, and a mini size in my diaper bag. Sometimes I forget too, so I've covered my bases. It's too hot and humid here to forget it. Haha!

The Utah Mom complex:
You're comparing your "in-house" self to their "out of house" self. They forget deodorant too. It's just when they don't put it on, they don't leave the house. Those are what I call my sweatpants days.

You should definately see time travelers wife, it is a good one. Even Hank liked it and he has never read the book! I feel you on the hair thing. I need mine colored so bad, when you get it done you feel like a whole new person! Oh and P.S. you are so skinny after your baby you give other people a complex too so don't compare yourself! ha ha

I failed to mention that I am getting my hair highlighted for the first time in over a year next week. Words cannot express my excitement. I really think I'm going to feel like a new person!! (hopefully not so frumpy).

Oh my gosh I'm dying laughing about the chicken! Let me know what happens. And, I'm also looking for a new hairdo. I need a change. Totally know how you feel about the Utah moms. I swear I forget to brush my teeth half the time. And we went through a phase where I though we were going to live in a cardboard box too! As long as it had a big closet, I didn't care. Good luck to ya!

The above link is the picture I took into my hair stylist. I have never LOVED a hair cut SO much, I get compliments on it ALL the time! I think something like this would be cute on you too ;) It's all cut with a razor.. which, I was a little timid about at first.. but, now I love the slight sassiness it adds :)

Utah is another planet sometimes.

I'm currently reading time travelers wife so I can watch the movie.. I agree... LOVE Rachel Mcadams.

I'm sure everything will work out with your house. I know first hand that sometimes I'll jokingly talk about things that i'm REALLY stressed about and no one REALLY understands the actual tole that stress takes on me. So, if this is one of those things for you.. I'm sorry and I do sincerely hope that things work out for you! My mom could hook you guys up with a fab rental in Fruitland, since she's a realtor. BTW, have you tried that route? Realtors list stuff for rent all the time! A local one could totally help you find a place at no charge to you!

Most Utah Moms are on some sort of upper. :) Seriously. Utah women are the most prescribed to for anti-psychotics. I read it in an article a while ago. You're doing just fine.

Just saw time traveler's wife tonight...pretty good, but the boys were less then amused. I am actually still confused I think? weird.

I just died my hair dark and got rid of ALL my highlights again! Whenever I go darker my hair feels a lot healthier, and I can always go SO much longer between visits.

Girl, take those keys and head on a trip! There has to be SOMEONE to babysit the cows!!! Tell Trevor I will watch them, I am a natural with animals...
