So, are we blogging or are we not blogging???

The deal is I just don't like the word "blog"....Kind of like how Amy doesn't like the word "moist".....Can't explain it....What is a blog anyway? I mean, I know what it is because I've read a few....but where did they come up with that word??? Don't worry, I'll Google it real quick cause that's what I do....

Well, some guy apparently made up the word as he combined the two words "web log".....I get it now...You probably already knew that mom...

When I say I've read a few blogs, I mean three....and there is only one I read regularly...I even posted a comment once to enter in a contest to win some awesome kitchen knives....Funny thing is I actually thought they would read my comment...After an hour typing up what I believed to be an acceptable answer, I submitted it only to realize I was number 28,000 and something....Pretty much doubt they read my answer....and I didn't win the knives....Some lady who typed a two second answer and was randomly chosen because she was number 5098 won them....So, here is my chance to be heard...

I will now post my answer here for all of you to read....The question was..."What are your plans this weekend?".....

“what are your plans this weekend?” 

I have learned you can make “plans”….but whether they come to fruition or not is a whole ‘nother 

thing….For instance, I am writing this with my head upside down, blow-drying my curly hair because that’s 

when I check email and the such….My “plan” right now is to finish answering your question in the 15 

minutes or so it takes to dry my hair with this diffuser…My “plan” was just quickly interrupted by the fact 

my three year old just bumped his head on the bathroom doorknob for the second time today and I had to 

pause to love on him…My “plan” now is to finish answering later….All four kids have sick visits to the 

doctor… 

P.S….That “plan” was delayed by the fact that while I was loading the car, I quickly noticed the baby and the 

toddler’s car seats were in my husband’s car…and my husband was at work…which is not at my house…. 

Delay is one of the usual-suspects to thwart my “plans”…SO being that I am not going to just lay my baby 

on the front seat, as apparently my mom did with me when I was an infant, we wait on dad to come 

home… 

Waiting is another culprit to my “plans” 

Ok…its 10 a.m. Thursday….Though my “plan” was sidetracked, I am determined to finish because the 

knives you offer have been on my wish list for years…I have lingered over them in the William Sonoma 

catalog thinking how they would so greatly improve my cooking skills if they found a home in my 

kitchen…However, my buying them is usually trumped by the fact I have kitchen “knives”…Well, that’s 

what they call them and, don’t get me wrong, they would be great for people that don’t actually cook…and 

I would gladly pass them along… 

  

So, my “plans” this weekend include a possible trip to the grocery store on Friday to gather a couple of last 

minute things for Christmas Eve dinner with my family….Hopefully, I will escape without a diaper explosion, 

of sorts, in the grocery cart…Yes, onto my groceries….(I always have wanted one of those grocery cart 

seat liners made of cute fabric….I think they are made to protect your baby from germs…I would like one 

to ensure that a diaper explosion does not leak onto my groceries.) 

Friday night I am “planning” on not staying up too late putting something together…and Saturday morning I 

am “planning” on not be exhausted when I wake up because I “plan” on the baby having a very restful 

night…Christmas day, there will be no family drama…Maybe we’ll sing Christmas carols this year… 

Sunday, we “plan” on loading the car for a 15 hour drive to Colorado to visit family…That is if all the kids 

are well and the pneumonia that put my 3 year old in the children’s hospital last week does not relapse…. 

On our drive, it is my “plan” for my husband to not get pulled over, again, or have anyone throw up in the 

car…If we do get pulled over, my “plan” is for my husband to not get a ticket…He apparently has this 

theory that if you are pulled over, you should roll all your windows down, turn on interior lights, turn off 

your music, take off sunglasses, and place your hands on the steering wheel to avoid a citation…it also can 

work in your favor if you have a screaming kid in the car…. My “plan” is for the baby to sleep soundly 

though I may have to occasionally lean over him to nurse in route while he stays safely buckled in his car 

seat….Has anyone else ever done that??   

So basically, my plan is to make plans and then laugh when they don’t go as I planned at all…because how 

boring would that be???

I totally should have won those knives.....Over and out....
