Allow me to say a few things

People who bite or chew hard candy: This is not the intended purpose of hard candy and is very annoying to bystanders. This must be one of the worst sounds, especially in a waiting room or etc. when the sound is deafening throughout the space. Please keep the disgusting slobbery sounds to yourself!
Snoring: If you snore it means something is broke so PLEASE fix it! If you refuse to fix it please remain single until your passing. It is rude to torture your spouse with endless nights of obnoxious attempts to breathe. I would really hate to suffocate my loved one in their sleep just so I can move on to be a productive and well rested person.
People who do not wear deodorant: For less than $5 a month you can end unnecessary body odor. Please do not tell me that you prefer to be “natural” or some other ridiculous claim. It is 2007. The hippie age is long over. There are no slaughtering of animals or other brutality involved in the making of deodorant. Smelly armpits do not “stick it to the man”. So you see there are no valid reasons to forgo the deodorant. Again, less than $5 and 30 seconds of your time. So please……spare us all. Nobody wants to sit next to the smelly kid in class.

Update

So, I haven't posted in forever. Sorry! I've been busting my butt around the house and at work. It's amazing how busy I can stay and how hard I can work and then just have to start all over again the next day. Let's see what's going on.........?

We didn't make it to Grandma's bday lunch. Which was all my fault. Last Feb I knocked some discs out of place in my back and have had an ongoing problem for the last year. Then the day before our Olive Garden plans I somehow managed to hurt my back all over again. And just where I was getting to the point I could function day to day without pain meds. Anyway, I was crying in pain all Sunday morning and could hardly walk. There was no way I was going to attempt wrestling the kids in a restraunt. So, unfortunately we had to miss out and I had been looking very forward to going. Caden was upset about it because he knew we were supposed to see Tristan. I'm very happy to hear that Daniel and his family were there. I have really enjoyed seeing them the last few gatherings. I've missed having Daniel around. When I was a little kid I thought he was the biggest strongest boy I knew. I guess I still kinda do. He just seems like a very tough guy.

Caden has been amazing me. His imagination is so big. I hear him playing with his toys in his room and he comes up with some of the most intriguing things. I still can't figure out what category my little boy is going to fall into. He is super smart, loves dinosaurs, Jimmy Neutron, race cars, video games, skateboards, and baseball. I guess he is going to be a smart sporty skater kid? LOL. I guess we will see! I still can't believe he's 3. This is still a crisis for me.

Macy just turned 19 months. She is 90% potty trained. In fact she even makes it thru some nights without wetting the bed now. I am very much looking forward to NEVER buying diapers again! Her personality is really starting to blossom. She used to be so shy and withdrawn. Now she is so happy and funny...and is as much of a ham as her brother is. She can count to 10 and say the entire alphabet. I'm very proud!

Sorry for the delay in posting. I'll try to make a little more time to keep everyone up to date! We missed everyone last Sunday!
