Sometimes slowing down is a good idea!
The world has been telling me to slow down the past few days. And for the most part I have listened(I know - so very UNLIKE me)
-First I got what I thought would be a minor cold, caught it from Cooper, he literally coughed 4 times and had a runny nose for a day. I have had a fever for off and on 3 days, cough like I have emphysema and in general am listless and not able to function as normal.
-Second we had a new phone system installed at work and today it logged me out of my phone about 100 times and lost my connection. I had no choice but to crawl through the workday
-Third my monitor for my work computer is pretty much non-funtional, when I say non functional I mean the tube is blown on it or something and the screen gets progressively blacker as the day goes on. I have notified tech support, however they are swamped with the silly phone problems. So again, I have no choice but to relax and wait it out.
WOW this is hard!

My Good Idea & My Bad Neighbor
2 totally non connected things to chat about - both make me laugh. If you are new to reading my blog or don't know me all that well, I like to crack myself up. I many times say things just to make myself laugh. It's great if other people think they are funny, but really I say these things for my own benefit. Yes - I am that selfish.
So my new great idea involves Lanolin and it happened out of necessity. Lanolin is super power lip balm. For whatever reason, my lips have been dry and cracked and gross for about a week. I was starting to become desperate, nothing was working to improve their condition. Finally I discovered my leftover bottle of Lanolin from when I was a nursing mom. I thought - what the hell and put some on my lips. Ta-Dah, they are repaired. You are welcome nursing moms everywhere, I have found another use for your Lanolin. I should start writing for Good Housekeeping.
Ah yes, the joys of neighbors, we seem to have some trashy luck in this department. Our newer neighbors in the duplex across the street started out okay. However they are incapable of containing their dog. The dog has left piles of evidence all over our yard this summer. I have been trying to corner the neighbor at the right moment to say, you seem real nice, but let me tell you, if I see the dog in our yard once more, I will be calling the cops. The dog especially likes to come over about 11pm and bark loudly right outside my window. So a few days ago Jeff & Cooper were playing outside and I leaned out the door to tell them dinner was ready or something and I see the neighbor walking towards Jeff. She calls out, "I really love your new landscaping." Jeff says thanks. She then continues with, "My dog peed on it." WHAT!?!?!?! Did you really just tell us your dog peed on our yard? And you don't feel bad about it? It's on woman!

Not really through with the blogging, I guess
Even though I have been beyond a slacker when it comes to blogging and have thought for many months about quitting completely, I can't throw in the towel quite yet. I have been thinking lately about all of the wonderful things I could use this blog to chronicle and track. So here is my laundry list:
1)Milestones from Cooper
2)My diet and exercise log
3) Mothers & More ideas & events
4)Gardening things I need someplace to centralize and be able to recall for next year
And this is just the tip of the iceberg, so since blogging is so valuable, I will have to restart. And truthfully, I have missed having such a wonderful platform for venting!
