Anadarko (cough*sucks*cough,cough)

Sorry about this one guys! I can't help my self, but I am irrate. I just have to say that Anadarko (the Oilfield company) SUCKS! I guess I'm just bitter. Tim is a sub contractor, that contracts for Bj services. Anadarko recently decided they were being ripped a big one (Which I totally get), but they decided to go with a different company to do their cement haulling. This totally krimps my style, because it pretty well puts my hubby, his boss, and six other family guys out of work.
It's not that I think that they should be charged out the WAHOOO for their work, but Tim having a job is good too. I'd really like to not move to TEXAS (I HATE TEXAS)! I know that I have to be fair, but my sence of fair play is at work here. Bj may or may not have been doing a good job, but My hubby, his boss, and co-workers have been doing excellent and are sot after all over the basin. Now they can't be used because of this wicked wrong move? Hope Valeri doesn't mind if I say this, but OH MY GOOD CRUD!!!!!

Sleepy Sohie

My baby (yes, I know she's three, but she will always be my baby. Even if she doesn't like it.) has been so weird about falling asleep lately. When she doesn't get a nap she falls asleep on sombodies lap. Tonight was no different. After we feed them some Strawberry short cake, she curled up around me, with one her head on one side, and her feet on my other side. She almost looked like a tutu. She refused to move so I could put pjs on her. So I put her to bed in her play clothes.

Little giggles

We spent today playing in the mud. We took Tim's motorcycle up to the honda hills and played around. It was gross and muddy and totaly exhausted my kids and husband. Tim was asleep by 7pm. Ashlee asked to go to bed. I know, right? Gavin fell asleep watching X-men. Sophie fell asleep on my lap, and I had to wake her up to change her into her pjs. She was still half asleep when I pulled off her shirt and fleece. She put her arms over her head, and as soon as I had her shirt off she poked me in the nose. "Poke," and that was it. She fell back to sleep. I had to still angle her in to pjs. It was weird. Then carry her to bed. To funny.

I did it again!

I fell off the wagon (aka Totally addicted).

This weekend, I have been living in sin, I have even introduced others to living in guilty pleasures. First, I got my parents hooked on facebook. I got my Dad so hopped up, that he's doing my mother's facebook too. He won't let her do it.
Next, I have been on a major suger high. Since this last week was Valentines, chocolate has been out in full force. Good news, I haven't snuffed it yet.
Last I have spent most of the last four days playing the Wii. I have a new game. One where I don't have to shoot people, have anyone explain it to me, or look up the instructions on the internet. I has also been cheating on the game by spending copious amounts of time on the internet, and at walmart buying food storage. I feel so dirty.

Happy Valentines Day!

I'm a theif, but this is cute!
