Wednesday.
I have 5 books on hold at the library.
I have 100 photos needing picked up at Walgreens.
Jason's Joke: "Mom, A duck walked into a restaurant and ordered a steak. The waiter brought it over and the duck said, "Put it on my bill."
I have had 2 poopy diapers already and it is only 8:07 am.
And there were 2 more by 11:30 am.
Tonight Jason has Karate, Tomorrow Soccer Practice.
Watched the movie Definitely, Maybe today. 3 stars. Good, but not something I would watch over and over.
Oatmeal, coffee and water for breakfast.
Ryan napped 9:47-11:00
Zachary napped 9:47- 11:26
1884 Amazing: A page from Teddy Roosevelt's Diary on the day his wife died.
To Dos: Update Photo Albums, Baby Books.

Fat Tuesday Facts.
Today I saw in the February issue of Southern Living on page 28, there is an article on Mamou, Louisiana. That is the Hubby's home town. It is a neat write up on how they celebrate Mardi Gras. I will scan it in another day.
Today the babies were quiet and playing nicely so I took that time to do dishes.. I should of known that quiet babies means that something is being destroyed. It was 3 blinds that will now all need replaced.
I absolutely LOVE Taco Bell and Arby's. The Hubby does not.
I picked up an issue of Martha Stewart's magazine yesterday. There was an article on packing for vacation. As I am reading, she tells about how she packs and where it goes.. Then I turn the page, and there is a picture of her Kindle that she "takes everywhere." Grrrr. It is haunting me..
Yesterday I went online trying to read reviews of a book that I want to read. I get a pop up. I hate pop ups. It said "Read this book NOW in 60 seconds on your Kindle." Ughh. Go Away.
I have lost 16 pounds in the 27 days.
Jason's schedule is super busy with speech 2 days a week, soccer 2 days a week, karate 4 days a week and school 5 days a week. Plus he has about 20 minutes of homework a night! To schedule mom time with him, I have to check his Blackberry and book an appointment days in advance.
Zachary and Ryan... Keep Me Busy.

enjoying a saturday.
A busy morning starting with karate then soccer camp. Lunch at Chilis. Jacques ran into the Depot and now we are home. Played outside. Jacques busy tiling the bathroom. Cartoons on. Me at the computer, then buried in my book. Later, a quick trip to Target and Michaels. Jason lounging. Babies emptying the toy box. Photos later. Maybe tomorrow. Hugs, Mandy

Kindle.. You are no friend of mine.
I know I have a lot of issues. A LOT. But this is by far my latest issue. It's the release of the Kindle 2. It is a wireless gadget that is 1/3" and you can download like 230,000 books into within seconds. I hate this whole idea. I am a BOOK LOVER. I want to touch my books and flip the pages, SMELL the pages, LICK the pages. I like lugging around my books and I love having them on my shelves and in my sight. They are beautiful. I love randomly choosing a book at the store, flipping through it, reading the covers. Seriously, I went to bed last night freaking out about the "end of the novel" era. Could this seriously hurt publishing. WTF? Can you even call it a Classic if it is digital? What would Steinbeck say? (WWSS?) Even now, I am about to have a panic attack cause I am so worked up. Note: the run on paragraph and grammar errors.. Ugh. I can't go on. I am boycotting this idea to the ends of time. Mark my words, I will never be caught with a Kindle. Ughh.

A Million Little Pieces.
Controversy, What's not to Love? Okay, just finished James Frey's A Million Little Pieces on Sunday. I'd give it 5 Stars. I got it at the library sale for $2. Now I knew going in that this "printed as a memoir" turned out to be a fake fiction, but I could see how people were pissed once they found out. After I read it, I went to Oprah's website and read all the interview from when she confronted the author.I was reading this throughout all my airport travel, many people recognized. I talked to one lady who had read it before she knew it was fake. Another lady asked if I would recommend it, Yes. And the funniest thing, an old lady in her 80's leaned over to me and asked what I was reading. I am sure she was just making talk, but I told her and she said, "Such a Lovely Book." HA! It couldn't be more than NOT lovely. It is filled with very fowl language and some very nasty scenes.
And just a note, I love airport travel. I love seeing that tons of people still do read. I saw books being read that I have already read, and books on my To Do list. I saw classics, fictions, biographies and more. I saw all sorts of people reading.
Good Things.
1. A Jar of Old Wooden Spools $6.00 2. The Penguin from Batman Returns $7 Jason loves it, Ryan is scared of it Brought home from Kansas 3. My Silhouette when I was 11 in 1992 4. A box of old buttons from my Great Great Grandma 5. Frames found for $2 at a Flea Market Going to paint white 6. Made this Moleskin to record all my media from 2009 7. An amazing find, 4 out of 5 of the New Kids on The Block Dolls. Desperately searching the Bay for the 5th doll.

updates.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I got a ton of email well wishes, thanks. I am flying home tomorrow and staying through Sunday. On my way to the airport, I am taking Jason to school. Jacques goes on Emergency Leave tomorrow and will stay home with all the kids... I wish him well and lots of love, and luck.
I laid out all of the kids clothes and pjs for everyday that I will be gone. I left phone numbers of friends and specifics when it comes to fevers, meals, naps, playtime and Life Full Time with Twins. He may need some liquor too.
Tonight we are going shopping to make sure they are stocked full of everything while I am gone. He has no intentions of getting out of the house with the kids, except to get Jason to and from school. I also canceled Speech so he will not have that either. He does have the option of taking Jason to Karate or not. I will leave that up to SuperDad. Hugs, Mandy

The 5 People you meet in Heaven.
I just finished this book. Amazing. It's a beautiful tale of how amazing Heaven may be. I wonder who will be waiting in my line? And some favorite lines to leave you feeling tingly today.
"There are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind."
"Fairness, does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young."
"No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone."
"That's what Heaven is. You get to make sense of your yesterdays."
"Sacrifice is a part of life. It's suppose to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to."
"Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else."
"All parents damage their children. It can not be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair."
"Sons will adore their fathers through even the worst behavior. It is how they learn devotion. Before he can devote himself to God or a woman, a boy will devote himself to his father, even foolishly, even beyond explanation."

And another bites the dust..
Ryan was running in footed pjs yesterday while carrying a bottle in his mouth and fell face first, on to his bottle, on the hardwood floor. He bled a tiny bit, but is was purple and swollen instantly. He cried just a minute, until I got him to the sink to get a cool wash cloth. Then he stopped and was excited to be sitting on the counter. Pictures are from today, and it was already looking much better than it did yesterday.Today both babies made it through the entire day with out any stitches or open bleeding wounds. That is my goal for tomorrow too. And the next day and the next..

paint and potatoes, kid friendly fun.
This is how Jason and I spent our afternoon. Even the babies got to join in. I painted their hand prints, but in red. So they look like a horror movie smeared blood print, instead of sweet keepsakes. Oh well. It was a good day. Thanks, Elise.
Today's twins, bumps, bruises and all.
Zachary and the head wounds not really caused by Holyfield. Poor Guy. I am sure they will get darker with time. And So Ryan is not left out. These are from breakfast this morning. 
wednesday.
Today the babies we up at 545. It's 754 and they are back napping for a while I hope, but I doubt it. Zachary is running a low fever of 99, but that could be because he looks like he headbutted Holyfield yesterday. The poor kid fell off of a toy box that he was standing on then minutes later he bumped his head into a chair. He has lumps and carpet burns galore. I will try for a photo later. We were at Speech when it happened, and I told the secretary that I may need a waiver from her stating she saw the nose dive off.
Baby awake.. More Later.
Back again. It was Ryan. He slept maybe 15 minutes, but is laying back down. It's 826. Ugh. Today we have no plans, but a fun craft with paint and potatoes for Jason. Also last nights "match making" may have went well. They both confirmed with me that they liked one another, then they went out for drinks.. I am still waiting for all the details ; )
Wednesday, Be Good to Me, okay?

I dreamt of one, Brett Michaels. Grrrrrrr!
Zachary is awake.
Ryan is asleep.
My feet are cold.
I have 3 friends due any day now, 2 of them are expecting girls and on Valentines Day. The other gender is unknown.
Tonight I have 2 single friends coming over, hoping they hit it off.
Just call me: Matchmaker Mandy.

25 Things.
I have been tagged so many times, I thought I would comply. Seriously tho, 25? That's a bunch.
1. Pink Everything. Toothbrush, cell, bible, shoes, purse.
2. Absolutely in Love with this man and song. And this version of King of the Road. PS- Turner is from SC too.
3. I saw New In Town on Friday night. Nothing like a country Harry Conick Jr.
4. I am spending 2 weeks in Scotland, and visiting England in September. Tickets already bought. Next to do Passport.
5. Bell is my BFF. We have been almost inseparable for 13 years.
6. I have lived in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and South Carolina.
7. I am on a design team for a scrap store.
8. I have no pets, just the kids.
9. I watch Rock of Love on Sunday nights. Hello, Brett! And House M.D. on Monday night. Hugh Laurie is another mad crush. And only one soap, All My Children.. Oh, Kendall is out of the coma too. Just wait till she finds out that her hubby fathered her sister's child. Drama!
10. I think flavored water is high overrated.
11. My toenail polish is dark and chipped.
12. Did I mention Edward yet? Hello, Twilight. Teen Fiction. Romance. Vampires. My Lion.
13. I have owned a Lexus, a Landrover and a van. Next I am getting a Volvo or a BMW. I want to be a Stupid Shiny Volvo Owner.
14. Love to travel. Have been all over the US and after this years trip, we are thinking Hawaii and Alaska.
15. I love the Beach. Seashells, parasasiling, body boarding, sun burns.
16. Lipgloss, Polaroids, glue and glitter, purses, typewriters, buttons, books and tacos.
17. Currently reading: The Five People You Meet in Heaven.
18. Movies: any good chick flick will do and there is always The Breakfast Club.
20. Ipod: Poison, 80's rock, country, alternative and even some Tupac. I know, right? Secretly, I think Tupac and Cobain are hiding out somewhere in a trailer in Kentucky.
21. I wish they made footed jammies for adults.
22. I am in love with three boys.
23. I go to bed early and get up even earlier. I spent the last few months in a recliner with a certain baby that thinks sleeping is for wimps.
24. Coffee and if you read 23, now you know why.
25. Am happy this list is done.

a Sunday check up in February.
Jacques and I are both not feeling well. That sucks because we still have 3 kids to raise. We both took a nap this morning and Jacques is now taking another one.
Jason is watching Batman and Robin the one with George Clooney, the Govenator as Mr. Freeze, and Poison Ivy. He is also jumping around the house being Batman.
Ryan is sleeping on the floor with his blanket. Zachary will not leave him alone. He goes up and sits as close as he can to Ryan. Then earlier when Zachary was sleepin (Cause we all know that they never indulge their mother by sleeping at the same time) Ryan would not stay away from Zachary. He would sit on top of him and roll over him.
The guys enjoyed the Monster Trucks yesterday afternoon, but there are no photos to prove it, Just $15 less after buying cotton candy. Jacques took the small camera that was almost dead.
Today, Super Bowl Excitement (not from me) and homemade chili. I will knit through the game only looking up to see the funny commercials or perhaps, any boobs that pop out due to any wardrobe malfunctions.
