Maids-Nannies-Marriage

I've been in a slump when it comes to blogging. Just can't get myself to the computer these days. When I do sit down at the computer I tend to check the news and to be honest. It is DEPRESSING! After I read it I tend to be completely done with the computer and not in the mood to blog about anything.

Besides the downfall of America (tongue in cheek -- sort of) I haven't been blogging for the reason of my children having colds throughout the month of February. Even today David has a fever.

I have painted the entryway and stairwell and one wall in the living room. I still have a little more to do but have been sidetracked cleaning and cleaning. Do you ever feel like you're a maid? I do. My friend keeps telling me to hire her maid every other week for half the day. What's your opinion of hiring illegal immigrants?

Lucas finished his basketball season yesterday. He had such a great season. He has improved so much and his confidence has grown. He scored four baskets in yesterday's game. We have video and some pictures.

David's favorite ball is the basketball. He was so sad the other day when Lucas was outside playing ball and he was stuck inside watching. I didn't want to let him out because he was running a fever. But his sad little face melted my heart so I gave in. Boy was he happy.

Micah is doing great at school and seems to amaze me with some of the things he knows. Today he walked in the door and tells me "Home is Where the Heart is." I have no idea where he heard this. I asked at church and he says no. Yesterday, Jon walked up to us at the gym and Micah says to him "Hey Daddy-O!" We got a chuckle out of that. Again no idea where he learned that one either. Micah is into everything Star Wars. He is a junkie it seems like. He was happy when I bought him Princess Leia because now I can play with him. Since ya know, I'm a girl (as he puts it).

Lucas told me yesterday as I was putting my make-up on that I look like a boy. Thanks. He then goes on to tell me that "Your face and shirt don't look like a boy but your pants do. You should wear skirts." Wow. Granted my jeans were my "nanny"* jeans but still Jon thought I looked hot. I'm glad we don't have a Nanny.

I went to the movie "He's just not that into You" last night. I went by myself. Jon worked from home from 8-2am. I didn't want to just sit around so I left. The movie was alright. It kind of makes it seem like marriage is a trap and that us women become cranky, moody, not fun, too serious, less hot and desirable after we get married. Maybe we do. I of course blame all my crankiness and moodiness on politics and the realities of what pregnancies can do to a woman's body both physically and emotionally. Wow. Wonder what you're thinking of me now? :)

Honestly, being married for 8 1/2 years with 3 kids has made me more serious. I do believe that I am still fun and hot and just as sexy as Scarlett J. in that movie. But, I've always been cranky and moody. Can't blame that on marriage just hormones. haha. I use to be more fun and just be crazy and carefree to some degree. I am less of this now. I think this comes with age or not. I don't know. I'm just rambling now. Life is just stressful.

Are you done hearing me ramble. It's kind of fun. Better get going. I imagine I have something to do.

*My definition of "nanny" jeans are tight, faded, cheap in appearance and price, but ideal for taking care of kids because they last through all of the dirt, food, grime that children somehow get on the adults in their lives. Most of the nannies in these part of the woods are mid forties and don't neseccarily look "hot" in jeans. I somehow do. . . according to Jon.
