I'm thankful for good music AND....

Haha! Cats have too many teets I think.

I'm thankful for good music AND this is my 499th post. Can you believe tomorrow or Monday the next time I post will be my 500th post? Should I do something grand? Should my 500th post be special?

Hmmm...something to think about for sure.

Also good music. This song has been floating around in my head lately and I wanted to share. It's also a good song to share on a Friday. Because it just is.

Friday is gonna be a good night indeed. :)

And so is 2011. I can feel it.
My motto for this year:  Just do IT! ;) (I know Nike stole the motto from me a couple or years ago....*sigh* Good slogan really don't ya think?)



Happy Friday y'all! :)

Wordless Wednesday (Because I'm a Russian)

Russian= Rushing around...You know russian....(A little pun for ya)

The kittens are 8 weeks old. I can give them AWAY. YAY!

Me and my Dad. As goofy as ever.

I'm a super mom. I need a medal. I helped my 11 year old multiply and divide fractions until 10 o clock at night. Then I got up at 6 AM with her and finished the fraction homework. *sigh* You may send me my medal now. (Oh and the multi-million dollar check that I get for being the GREATEST mom EVAH.) What's this I hear? You are a super mom OR Super Dad too? You better ask Ellen for your check. Either that or Oprah. They've got money.

Happy Wednesday folks! 

Car alarms and Leigh's Happiness Project

These are the parts to a normal car alarm. EXCEPT my car has a gremlin. Ugh.

Car alarms. Ugh. I have a story to tell.
  I had a busy day yesterday. I had to go to the post office, drop off an application to the city offices for employment and get a couple of gallons of milk for the kids. I finished up my business (NO, I was not taking a dump) at Wal-mart and headed out to my car. I stuck my key in the door to open it and it happens.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Stupid blasted car alarm! So usually when I stick the key in the ignition it stops the car alarm. NOT this time though. It continued to blast the sirens. AND it would not let me drive my car. The car alarm stalled the engine of my car.

Ugh.

I decided to walk home and let my husband deal with it.

Halfway home I got an idea. My  friend lives about halfway home between Wal-mart and my house. I stopped at her house to see if she could take to finish up my errands. She was home!

We stopped by the post office to drop off my letter. Then we proceeded to Wal-mart to get milk. My friend suggested we play around with the car a bit more to see if we could get the car alarm to stop.

(I did leave the car with the alarm off. Finally. After 15 minutes of the obnoxiousness.)

When we got to Wal-mart I went over to my car. I opened the door, (no car alarm) and put the key in the ignition (no stalling)...whew. My car works. BUT for how long?

I went inside to get my milk and hot spicy cheetos (I have an addiction) and went home. My sweet friend decided to follow me just in case my car decided to act up again.

And guess what? It didn't act up. In fact the car has been taken out on 4 separate occasions since the blasted car alarm event and nothing. I think a gremlin got into my engine and caused the car alarm to pester my day yesterday.

All is well.

Finally.

Oh, and I'm posting a picture today that makes me happy.

My Dad. He is goofy just like me. (That's where I get my goofiness from.) This is a picture taken of us while he was here visiting me last week.

I love my Dad. He's great.

Apparently I couldn't stop laughing and my Dad is just a cheeseball. lol.

What is making you happy right now?

2010 by the numbers

Borrowed from the cute gal over at Amber Page Writes, but adapted it to fit ME.

19,870 times I told my daughters to get ready for school.

55,987 times I told them to do their homework.

99,847 times I told my husband to empty the litterbox.

115 times HE actually emptied it.

114,687 times I unloaded AND loaded the dishwasher.

475 times HE did it. (He is my hubby of course.)

989,975 times I cleaned up a hairball or two from the carpet.

999,899,975 times that my children made me laugh and smile.

Heaven only knows how many tweets I tweeted in 2010. *sigh* Here's to a couple 1,000 or more tweets or so. (Probably more because I heart Twitter so.)

9,764 hours of peace and happiness I wish you in 2011!
