My Future Daughter In Law is going to LOVE me!

Who wouldn't a mother in law who instills this kind of work ethic in a husband? Next week we learn how to dust. Just kidding. He absolutely loves to use the Swiffer and who am I to stop him? (blinks innocently) And look at the joy it brings to his face!

I think we need to work on the cleaning though. He seems to think that removing the diapers from their drawer is being helpful. He would be wrong. But, at least he sweeps...that's one thing more than his daddy does anyway.

Big Brother
I am soooo ready for tonight's episode! I hope that the girl (Ashlea??) gets evicted. What a cry baby! I think she's probably a big whiner and I hear enough of that from LittleMan, I don't want to watch it on TV too. Speaking of TV, I'm thinking about getting the reciever that Dish offers with the Tivo like thing built in. Does anyone have this? Do you like it? That way I could catch up on stuff that I usually miss. Katie Holmes will be on David Letterman Wednesday night and I will probably already be asleep...too bad I don't already have the Tivo thing. LOL!

My Eating Habits Change (sounds better than diet doesn't it!)
I am doing good so far. I have really guzzled water the past couple of days and my little healthy snacks aren't too bad. I even tried some Quaker Soy cakes the other day and they are pretty yummy. I have really tried to start eating more fruit, which isn't bad because I love fruit, I guess it's just the preparation each night that sometimes sucks. Anyway, so far so good.

Running with Scissors
I got about halfway through this book and honestly couldn't read anymore. I thought that the abuse and neglect this boy suffered was terrible and I honestly didn't find that I was gaining a single thing by reading this book, so I took it back to the library. I feel like I missed the point, but I've been known to do that in the past.

Well, that's about all I've got...hope you each have a good day and today is Kari's dr. appointment, so keep her in your thoughts.

Melissa
Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
