A Little of This And A Little of That

On Saturday I penned this:

As I woke this morning to snow...I wanted to flip Mother Nature the bird.  Really shoveling snow three times in a week is RIDICULOUS.  I am totally over telling the girls that shoveling snow builds character, or that working together toward the same goal makes me happy--it's a bunch s^*+ talk.  Truth be we are ALL together tired of loving each other over snow and the frozen tundra.  And, somehow, King Ralph is always working when all this shoveling needs to be done.  It seems shoveling snow is women's work these days.  Not just shoveling but chiseling too.  I think at the bottom of my driveway I can begin to train the girls to part of a curling team.  We have enough push brooms in the garage to rival our supply of snow shovels.

But seriously Mother Nature, ENOUGH! ENOUGH ALREADY!!

In our quest to see every Oscar nominated best picture, here's our updated viewing record:


X Black Swan
X The Fighter
X Inception
X The Kids Are All Right
X 127 Hours
X The King's Speech
X The Social Network
X Toy Story 3
X Winter's Bone I liked the movie,King Ralph did not. It was a bit slow moving, still feel the story had much more potential than they gave to it. It actually haunted my sleep being that it centers around SE Missouri.  In my opinion not exactly best picture quality.

Today I pen this:

Our house is filled with tension. 

Okay maybe not tension but a whole lot of M stress

 derived from tomorrow's DECA District 9 competition. 

M's stress looks like this: 

This is how my living room has looked for the past two days;

as a scrap book is assembled.

My patience with the mess feels a bit like the room. 

All we can hope for tomorrow is lots more of those gold medals and trophies.
