Quite a few months ago, Ree, the Pioneer Woman, told her readers about an awesome book deal so had gotten. She was going to write a cook book. I don't know about anyone else, but the way Ree writes her recipes, with step by step photographs, makes the recipe so much easier for me.
I had no idea when the book was coming out, and headed online to find out. I always go online first because books online, like Amazon books and such are soooooooooooo much cheaper than in a real store.
The book is being released on October 27th, ( Sweet! I know a few people getting this book for Christmas!)
After finding Ree's book, I spent some time searching my favorite authors, Dean Koontz and John Saul to see if they had any new releases.
Then I had a nap.
What? I LIKE naps!
Quick sticks, children, tell me your favorite author in the comments!

So Tired
My baby, my five year old was whiny yesterday. Logan is a stubborn child and he has a feisty temper, but he does not whine and he rarely cuddles.
He was on the couch with his brothers about 930Pm last night, and his eldest brother was playing game boy. apparently, Parker wouldn't let logan see soemthing on the game boy and Logan just melted down. He sobbed like his heart was breaking and crawled onto my lap, letting me hug him and rub his back.
Not normal for my boy.
I asked him if his head hurt, if his belly hurt, to please tell me what was wrong.
In a teeny tiny voice, Logan told me that the inside of his ear hurt. I took him into the MEC (minor emergency clinic) here in town. He has a bacterial eye infection, a viral throat infection and an ear infection.
Poor boy.
I'm not feeling to o hot myself. I am still dealing with an ongoing ear infection of my own, as well as a cold that is in it's fourth week.
Saying I am exhausted is quite the understatement!
I was on Google looking for info for mu inlaws who are traveling to Mexico and half asleep started typing engrish in the search bar:
What I wanted was medical travel INFORMATION Mexico. LOL
No matter, Google saved my butt yet again and sent me to the appropriate page.
I wish I could run away to Mexico for the winter like my inlaws do :o(
AHNYway. now that I have forwarded the info to my inlaws email, I am going to log off and hit the hay. I'm hoping to wake up at noon. Or later!

Kids these days
So the other day I was out int he garage having a smoke. We don;t smoke in our home. The boys, my five year old, seven year old and the neighbors five year old, were drawing with chalk on the drive way when out of the blue, the neighbor boy, K, said "Look! Those flies are on top of each other! They are making out!"
My husband and I were in the middle of a conversation, but we both immediately quieted to hear what else would be said about the Flies.
From my seven year old, Blake : "That's how flies make baby eggs. When they are on top of each other they are making their eggs, you know"
K : "By making out?"
Blake : "What is making out and anyway they are just making maggots. Maggots are baby flies. They come from eggs"
I don't know about you, but hearing the term "Making Out" fall out of the mouth of a five year old is as weird to me as if I happened upon the dogs while they were discussing the pros and cons of a colonix!
I assume that my neighbors son heard the term from his older sister, who is only eight, which is freaky and scary. She seems a bit boy crazy, but not in the "Oh he is so cute" kind of way, More the "I'm going to kiss him" kind of way.
I wasn't into boys until I was 14 for crying out loud!

Dry Spell : Over
Today after picking the boys up from school, I didn;t rush home to research the best weight loss supplement ever, oh no! We did the exact opposite!
We went out for ice cream!
Why? Because I was celebrating the end of a very long dry spell. You see, I
haven't been asked out on a date by a boy in over 12 years. TWELVE YEARS. Twelve! And yet today I was asked out by a very sweet boy. My Seven year old son. He asked if I would like to go to the school dance tomorrow night with him. I said yes, but I have NO idea what I am going to wear!

Oh. Ew.
So I just opened my email up and found out that I can stop searching for the best diet pills and the best fat burner, because all I needed to lose my appetite for a YEAR, was in my inbox.
The email was titled "You know it's time to cut off your wifes gym membership when..." and the body of the email had a bunch of pictures.
Pictures of a naked, very masculine looking woman. In fact, I would have shouted photoshop, and said that they had pasted an ugly womans head onto a mans body, if it weren't for the fact she had no pants on and you could very clearly see her gender.
OMG, people. How gross. I don't like looking at guys who have pecs as big as my head and veins that look like a water hose is under their skin, much less a woman! She literally did not have breasts, she had pecs, and her legs were the size of tree trunks.
Gah-ROSSSS
Feel free to email me at bluepaintredatgmaildotcom if you want me to forward the pictures. Just have a barf bag ready for when you open it!

Bah!Humbug!
I'm just not enjoying this long weekend. And it's a really REALLY long weekend! The boys have today, Monday off because it is Labour Day, but they also have tomorrow, Tuesday off because it is a Teacher Preparation Day.
Go ahead and ask me why I am not having fun, why I am not sitting outside enjoying the very last weekend before my baby begins Kindergarten.
'Cus I am sick. SICK. And pardon me if this is TMI, but this whole weekend I have had no need of colon cleansers!
And if that wasn't bad enough, I've blown my nose so many times, that I look like Rudolph!
Just my Luck, I will start feeling better by Wednesday, just in time to do housework!
Germs suck.

*sad*
I was listening to the radio this afternoon an heard the DJ say that the Farmer's Almanac was predicting a long, cold winter for Saskatchewan.
This is going to be the perfect winter to go one of those orlando vacations , because Orlando is HOT, which is, coincidentally, the exact opposite of "long, cold winter".
And what really sucks is that we have had a very very crappy summer. I would say that less than 1/4 of the days have been nice, the others have been too cold, too wet or too windy for anyone to enjoy their time outside.
I mean, come on! After the summer we had, I kind of expected mother nature to be just a wee nit nicer to us and give us a short, mild winter - or hey, while I am dreaming, NO WINTER AT ALL!!
