Just random stuff.

The last few days have consisted of a lot of laying around and watching television. Other times, I just lay there and listen to my kids playing. Here are some random observations:

~ Live television stinks. I bow to thee, my DVR. Thank you for making my life commercial free. For the most part.

~ There's nothing like hearing your kids slay dinosaurs that have invaded their room. I really feel sorry for those dinosaurs. They got their butts kicked a while ago.

~ I laughed my bootie off a few minutes ago when I heard me oldest tell my youngest, "You have FIVE minutes to clean this room up." To which my youngest replied, "Ummmmmm...no."

~ I couldn't even watch the fourth quarter of the Spurs game last night. That was brutal.

~ Do you know of anyone who has ever gone down to their local television station to review their children programming reports? Do you suppose anyone ever does this? I think it would be a hoot to do it with my husband sometime. Only, I'm going to refer to my husband as my legal counsel. That cracks me up just thinking about it, as I review their notes and scribble some of my own. If only I had that kind of time to kill.

~ Tamiflu may be lessening my flu symptoms, but it is wreaking havoc on my tummy. Even taking it with food. Ouchie.

~ The most listened to song on my iPod is Uninvited by Alanis Morisette. Kind of dark. I think it matches my recent mood.

~ It is not appropriate, at all, to laugh at my three year old when his Lego set falls apart. He told me so. It's not funny. (I beg to differ.)

~ I really liked the movie "The Other Boleyn Girl" the first time I saw it. Not so much the second time. The Tudors, series on Showtime, has ruined it for me. I like it *much* better. I'm anxiously awaiting Season Three's start.

~ My kids, doing the limbo, with my kitchen broom, is just hilarious.

~ Really good friends are an awesome thing to have. Thanks to those of you who checked up on me this week and who have helped shuffle the kids around. Even to my friend who went out and bought a new thermometer for me. (How have I existed SO long without an ear thermometer? That thing is way cool!)

~ A great husband is nothing to take for granted. He has been a life saver this week. I really, really, REALLY love him a little more every day.

~ Right now, I'm jealous of him. He is going out to the gun club to fire handguns. I think that's hot. He needs to blow off some steam and get out of here. I don't blame him. (I'm embracing my inner Sarah Palin. Sorry Yoda and Oph!)

~ Facebook is such a cool way to keep up with friends. From all over the world.

I think that's enough. I hope you are enjoying your Saturday.
