Sad, Happy..and Something to think about...

I wake up every morning and start my day the same way. The kids nudge me out of bed (as if 6 AM is late to wake up.) I stumble down the stair and put the dog outside. Then I walk into the kitchen to kids voices asking all different crazy things for breakfast (pudding, popcorn, coolwhip and straberries.) I say the same thing every day, "Breakfast food!" I continue to my friend...my shiny, hot and steaming delicious coffee maker. I wait for the coffee to brew. I stumble to the living room and turn on the news.

Peter Jennings died. It happened so fast. He had lung cancer and it took him in 4 months. So sad. I grew up watching him. Soooo Sad. I was hoping he'd make it. Cancer is such an ugly deadly thing.

DO you all remember the days before cable. We only had a few channels and were stuck with our parents watching Peter, Tom, or Dan.

I know I'm dating myself, but I remember the weekend that MTV came out. I think Billy Joel was big and had a video on that weekend. LOL!

Ok, so after the sad..now I have some happy. I took the kids to see "The March of The Penguins." It was adorable. My three kids loved it. The boy maybe loved it a little less and was (as usual) more interested in watching the room in the back where the movie came out. LOL. Yep my boy.

So there are the basics of my weekend. Basically not much happened. Hmmm.
1. Cleaned my closet. (getting ready for those California Closets.)
2. Washed and folded laundry. (yes bought TIDE because I felt Cheap buying Cheap.)
3. Cooked some amazing dinners.
4. Decided to enter some cooking contests. Why not! You can win all kinds of things. There's money, kitchen appliances...and trips to be won.
5. Finally...prepared for my Mom who is invading on Friday.

Ok...I've really got nothing today. That's it. Maybe i'll get my camera out and take some good pictures. Maybe I just need more coffee. :)
Thanks for humoring me friends with reading my daily blah.
Yes...I think i'm feeling a bit off today.
XOXO

Jewl..If only pudding were a breakfast food...it would be sooo much easier on some mornings. Wouldn't you know it that all three like different things. Sorry the cloud is lifting and the denial is leaving. I'm here for you.

Peanutt! Hi sweetie. You're going to love the penguins! Soooo precious.

hey sunshine... don't worry, you're OK to blah or to happily blablabla as much as you like, we're all going through that at moments... keep well...

Me said...

Sorry to hear you're feeling blah today.

Can't say I remember when MTV launched only because we never had cable. I don't think they even got cable til lik 1995...lol.

Feel better sweetie!!

God I love cleaning out closets. There's nothing better than seeing a pile of crap to donate or sell and know that it will NEVER make its way back into my closet.

Not to mention all the room I've cleared up for new stuff!

Dottie said...

sorry to hear you have the Blahs, sometimes I feel like it is chronic with me! Your not alone in your kiddos thinking pudding, popcorn, chips and snacks make great breakfast food. I constantly am repeating "that is not breakfast food!" :)

Fej said...

Are Ramen Noodles a breakfast food? I couldn't counter that one the other morning with anything witty.

I'm also sorry to hear about the Blah. I am familiar with that feeling as well.
