More Random Loves Of Mine

Posted by ~The Shoebox~

Lets just start with: This lovely young model is actually a GUY!


Love is everywhere if you are open to finding it.

I choked on my tea.

This is a beautiful use of shadow.

OMG so insanely and dangerously cute.

My husband needs this shirt.

Awesomely funny Ad.

Next on VH1 Where are they now?

This is only posted for those people whom feel that beating someone to death with their beliefs is the right way to introduce them to a so called tolerant religion.

THIS concept is so innovative and awesome!

So Tired...

Posted by ~The Shoebox~

It's 4 am. I am studying and jotting down notes while the lovely background music of 3 harmonious snores keep me in my tempo.


The music changes. I check the bodies strewn about.

Daddy in bed, Mr. Rubbermaid falling off of the couch but asleep, and Mr. Bossy passed out on my floor...

His nose was bleeding through the pillow as he slept soundly. I had to wake him and stop the bleeding, do a load of laundry (Pillow, Blanket, and washcloths), and get him fresh washcloths for his nose.

He's tired, he is panicky, he keeps pressing up on his nose. The bleeding gets worse.

If we can't get it under control, I will have to take him to the ER just to be sure he hasn't lost too much blood.

Electrolytes.

Gatorade, Powerade, Water... Towels, towels, towels...

Can't pack the nose, he's only 5, he's afraid it will bleed worse. He panics again, he soaks another washcloth..

So tired...

Daddy needs to sleep, he gets to do this tomorrow....

Watching Shrek at 4 am to make sure he drifts off to sleep while sitting up to keep his head elevated...

I hope he forgets the pain, I hope he forgets the panic, I hope he forgets it was ever broken...

I hope he remembers 4 am in my lap, watching Shrek, falling asleep sitting up.

OMFG! WHY ME!

Posted by ~The Shoebox~

(THIS KID! Oy!)


Sorry I haven't been writing if you are looking for me to hang on my every word. I know I am awesome, but wow, how busy am I right now?

Lets start with last week when I decided to re-install The Sims on my computer because, lets face it, killing a cartoon representation of my Ex-Husband is better than going to jail, my optical drive broke...

Mid install... CD drive... DEAD!!! I LOVE my warranty, so worth the money.

Decided they can fix my SD reader and my keyboard which is on it's 3rd key break... (First enter, then X, Now shift... Better yet, I WASN'T TOUCHING IT! I was like 2 feet away and the only person in the room).

Geek Squad had to ship her to Colorado... 2 weeks without my laptop... My google reader was gonna kill me! (WHO said that Michael Jackson could die when the laptop is down? I don't watch TV people, my reader had like 3000 things in it when I FINALLY got to look at it).

I started college Monday for business management, yay for me... BUT... My laptop is still out of town being fixed, the Internet went down for about 5 hours ON MONDAY right after I got a hold of my mother's laptop.

I did get it fixed and back online, BUT... I had enough time to do my introductions in each classroom and start taking notes and then...

WHAM!!!

Mr. Rubbermaid (hard head very much intact) and Mr. Bossy were falling backwards on my bed when Mr. Rubbermaid decides to spring backwards... Instead of going straight, he lands hard head STRAIGHT on Mr. Bossy's nose.

That's right people... We have our very first broken bone out of all four of my children... It is child #3... It is a nose...

I DO however have pictures... I will get them up as soon as MY laptop is home... Estimated date on that is 7-4-09...

Help Me... Internet withdraw SUCKS!

PS. Mr. B is fine but he sounds like he has a horrible cold, isn't allowed to blow his nose or wipe it and has the beginnings of two black eyes. He is also mad that he still has blood in his nose, BUT since he can't seem to STOP wiping it and sniffling, it won't stop bleeding long enough for me to clean it.

PPS. Broken nose sneezes are D.I.S.G.U.S.T.I.N.G.

The End

Wordless Wednesday? Not So Much...

Posted by ~The Shoebox~

Hi. I am feeling a bit OVER Hannah Montana'd today. Frankly I sort of feel like THIS...I like to find different artistic pictures around the Internet. This one I have come across recently, and the beauty of the color just overwhelms me and inspires me. I love how basic but vivid it ends up being...


Ok, so I am anti-Disney stuff at the moment, but who couldn't love this steam punk Tinkerbell? I think it is so cute! (I know, girly... BITE ME!!!)

THIS is the paint I want by my front door. I want to color and draw on the walls to welcome people to our home. The inspirations change daily and the artistic outlet will do me good. Guess what! Hubs totally agrees with me too! WOOT!

Here is another dazzling little thing I am looking at doing around our house. I like the way it keeps the cords and doesn't make the house look too cluttered while adding a touch of art.

This is my current desktop background. It is awesome. That was my point here.... Go on to the next picture... Why are you still here? STALKER!!!! (Hi! :D)

OMG... Too Cute!

Pretty. That Is All.

I think it's cappuccino... I'm sold.
The most important statement in my house every day.


BYE!

The Stress Of Life...

Posted by ~The Shoebox~

Today Mr. Creativity turns 8 years old.


Tomorrow I get my oldest two children for the summer.

I am stressed about work. I haven't had a job in a few years and the market is tight. I need to find a LEGITIMATE (I always get them with that word) stay at home job. I have applied for inbound telemarketing here at home with a company. Strangely enough the day I made the decision that I need to get some sort of job, I wake up to a "Welcome to the neighborhood" call that ended in a job interview because she is looking for a welcomer in this area... It's part time, but nearly everything I do nowadays is part time.

The Big Shoe has applied for his motorcycle jobs, but we haven't heard anything yet...

We're alive and I will be all Happy Happy Joy Joy as soon as we have at least one more income coming in.

*** I forgot to mention that I also applied for school! I will be going to college again... This will be at home, but I am actually really excited about it.***
