I don't see anything wrong with drinking decaf coffee or tea.
I love iced tea and have a jug of it in the fridge most of the time. I tell the kids it is punch.
I do think there is something wrong with drinking Diet Pepsi, but I can't stop.
Something interesting I noticed while studying the Word of Wisdom. It says we can drink mild barley drinks (D&C 89:17). The only mild barley drink I know of is beer. Hmmmm?!?
I picked up Eragon the other day. I was bored, too lazy to go to the bookstore and too lazy to read anything really thought provoking. Thought provoking, Eragon is definitly not!
I am confused by why this book was such a huge hit. I am a little over halfway finished and this is how I would sum up the adventures of Eragon.
Travel a really long time to some city, make an asinine mistake, get attacked, in the process end up unconscious, get sorry ass rescued. Repeat and repeat and repeat.
I admit I am not a fan of fantasy, but this seems more tedious than the regular run of the mill fantasy/hero's journey. And what is it with his relationship with this dragon. Seems a little weird to me. I think maybe the author has some secret unclean thoughts about dragon lovin'. (Poor, unfortunate, socially awkward, homeschooled child)
And the biggest lame-o in this whole scenario is me. Cuz guess what, I am going to spend the entire day finishing the stupid book. Will he be able to save beautiful elf girl in his dreams? (Not that it matters, unless she is into sweet dragon three-somes) Who is Murtagh? And how the hell is stupid Eragon going to destroy the Empire?
Wait I see it all clearly now! Let me guess, big bad king dude is his father? "Eragon, I am your faaatheeer"
Kid raised by uncle who is tragically killed, kid goes to seek revenge and becomes a Jedi, oh I mean Dragon Rider. Kid is guided by old dude who turns out to be a Jedi, oh I mean Dragon Rider in hiding. Old dude dies forcing kid to test his own strength and knowledge. Kid then joins the Rebel forces, oh I mean the Varden.
If I keep reading maybe there will be Ewoks!
Top 10 things I love about being Mom.
10. Tension headaches!
9. Waking early every morning to gigantic, stinky, poopy diaper.
8. The mom stutter. "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" or "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!"
7. Cheerios on the floor, in my purse, in the car, in my bed, in the couch, . . . you get the idea.
8. Kate screaming from the bathroom, "I'm done!"
7. Permanent black marker all over the legs of our new table. (I swear we didn't even own a permanent black marker. Where the hell did he find that!?!"
6. Milk art on the carpet created with a drippy bottle.
5. When I forget I am in public and yell at the kid in my demon voice. Everyone stares at me with the "Wo, she's a psycho mom" look and then they give the children a look of pity.
4. Having to clean the stashed sippy or bottle now containing some sort of cheese rather than milk.
3. Needing to mop the kitchen floor everyday. (Needing to, not actually doing)
2. Kate telling everyone in line at the grocery store that I am an idiot. (I made a mistake filling out a deposit slip at the bank and said to the bank teller, "Sorry I'm an idiot." Kate won't let me forget it. She tells everyone!)
1. Jonas using my nipples as a hand hold for pulling himself up onto my lap.
Please Heavenly Father, never ask me to be a nursery leader! I will say, "Noooooo."
10-15 18 mo. - 2 year olds, bawling, stinking, snotting. Shut in one room for 2 hours. After church is over and I pick up Jonas (who of course is sweet smelling, smiling, and clean) the room is warm, moist and smells like pee.
Okay, let's face it, the only thing I find interesting about watching baseball is the players. Apparently the player that has the largest female following on the Indians team is this fellow.
