Brittany Rose Wiseman?

Generally I am a quick person! Quick to think logically, and quick witted. Quick to notice things, not so much!

Here is the wall in our hallway were I display these pictures of my cute kids. I walk by these photos probably 3 dozen times in a 24 hour period. Why did it take me that long, 24 hours, to realize that something was different. I don't know, but boy did I laugh a lot!!!

Yes, that is Brittany Jurgaitis, not Hannah!!

I think we will keep it!

Seriously, Aedan??

OK, seriously, all of my kids are funny but lately it has been Aedan who says these totally random things and cracks us all up.

Tonight he says- "Mommy, if my wee wee gets cut off will I have to pee out of my butt?"

OY VEY!!!

OK, now what?

I am want to get in the habit of blogging on a regular basis. There are approximately 100 times a day that my kids say or do something that I think to myself, "I should blog about that!" Then five minutes pass and me and the kids are onto something else or somewhere else and blogging while driving is frowned upon and dangerous.

All of my kids say funny things on an hourly basis. Of course just as often they say things that only they themselves think are funny and then I get frustrated with them.

I have been reading dozens of blogs and one thing that is pretty common in the blogging world is Friday Fives. In case you don't know what Friday Fives are. Pretty much, I post five questions along with my answers and whoever else feels led to answer them does so under comments.

1- Five places that I have never been to that I want go before I die.

a. The Great Wall of China

b. Safari in Africa

c. Tahiti

d. Space

e. Egypt to ride a camel by the pyramids

YUCKY!!!

I hate to say it, but I am sick. Actually, I hate to say "I hate being sick" because seriously, who doesn't hate being sick? Although I really don't know who hates mommy being sick more, the kids, Bob, or me.

I felt this coming on for the last few days but you know me, it is hard to slow down! Now I am forced to now so that is a bummer. I am hoping that I get better before Jenna goes into labor! For now I am drinking my herbs, pouring saline water in my nose, watching MLB Network, baseball games, and sleeping.

Off to bed now!

Epiphany!!

Regarding laundry, what drives me next after socks is towels! There are bath towels left all over my house constantly. I put up hooks in the kids rooms so in theory they would shower, use a towel, then hang it up so it would dry and be ready for the next time they showered. Well, that wasn't really cutting it so voila, I came up with an even better idea. Go to Target, assign a color to each of the kids and get 2 bath towels, one hand towel, and one wash cloth of that color. Tim-orange, Christina-hot pink, Aedan-black, Hannah-green, and Avery Rose-blue.

I will let you know in a few weeks how that works out for us!

Ta Dah!!!! *This was started yesterday*

I am a busy mom, well I guess everyone who is a mom is busy whether you have one, two, three, four, five, or nineteen kids.

This morning started with Avery Rose still not feeling well, then trying to get the healthy kids out the door. Aedan and Hannah had to have their bags packed because they were going to spend the night in Anaheim for a choir competition.

At approximately 7:32 a.m. (we are supposed to leave for school at 7:25), I hear Hannah yelling at Aedan because he was supposed to get nice dress shoes for the competition (or else they get points deducted). In a nutshell, Aedan was being really irresponsible and Hannah was being motherly. I had a hair appointment at 10:00, which I would be walking out of the salon at 11:30. I called Papa Johns to place Aedan's cheese sticks order, and drove through Taco Bell for Hannah on the way to PJ's. picked everything up then went to the kids school. They had half day so Aedan and Hannah ate their food before they got on the bus to Anaheim. I picked up Christina and Melissa McCormick and took them to Red Robin for lunch then drove through the same Taco Bell for the second time in 2 hours for Avery Rose.

I took a nap then dropped off Christina and Melissa at Hillcrest so they could go to the Dodger game. THEN, me, Kim, Tina, and Alex (Kim's friend) headed to the game. The Dodgers won. It is always funner when they win!!

Get up off the floor!!!

Two in a row, that is what I promised and here it is!!!

Bummer is that nothing life altering happened today but that is ok.

My day started out by discovering that Avery Rose was running a fever. Next, Allison, Jakey, and Z picked me up so I could take them to LAX. The nice people at Southwest Airline printed a pass for me so I could help her all the way to the gate.

Tonight is our date night. I am home waiting for Bob to come home and to see where we are going to eat unless I fall asleep first. I AM TIRED!!!

Hopefully I will be back tomorrow.

Dear Neglected Blog,

I really do want to continue this relationship but I am so busy!! Between the five kids, our dog who recently had surgery, my crazy parrot who is screaming "Go Dodgers" as I type, and my new hamster. Yes, I HAVE A HAMSTER. Yes, me, the MOM has a hamster!! The kids got wind that Miss Celeste's class hamster had babies and they wanted one. Well, I took one look at it and fell in love. His name is Houdini and he is seriously the cutest thing and is nice! He loves to burrow in my fuzzy red blanket and run around the house in his tiny exercise ball.

As you can see I have been a bit distracted these days.

I have been traveling a lot too. First Phoenix, then Cancun, Tampa, and Nashville.

I am really hoping to blog more as my kids are so stinkin' funny and crack me up on a daily basis.

Today though they weren't so funny as I got very frustrated with them because they all leave messes all over my house!!!

The only thing funny today is Pele who seriously hears Vin Scully's voice and starts cheering for the Dodgers. Pretty cool if you ask me!

I will post again tomorrow! I PROMISE!!!!
