The most exciting thing to happen this week...

I got a new purse. Yup, that's how hum drum my life is. I'm excited over a purse. It's not a prada or anything like that. Just a cheapo Walmart purse. But it's new, and I have a purse fetish..so I'm happy right now.

I'm praying about some decisions I need to make regarding direct sales companies, so please pray for me as well.

I was out of power for 2 full days, and the health department would condemn my house right now, so I should be cleaning instead of blogging.

My DH got me roses for Valentines Day. My Drama Queen daughter looked at my roses, started crying and said - "But I didn't get anything for Valentines Day!" Luckily my mom had mailed her and my son a card, and my MIL had sent them stuff for Valentines Day. I'll give that to them in a bit and maybe she will be overjoyed.

Ok...here are my goals for February - I know we are already two weeks in but better late than never:

1. Master the art of couponing and actually grocery shop instead of just buy what we need.

2. Clean and purge my cupboards in my kitchen.

3. Burn my candles to prepare for the massive amount I'm going to get at my partylite party.

4. Lose 5 lbs.

5. Get my home out of C.H.A.O.S. (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome)

Bonus: Blog more often.

Is anybody out there???

Did anyone miss me? I mean, I was gone for appx. 2 weeks. Surely that has impacted someone’s life. Ok, maybe not.

The Holidays went as well as can be expected. The only major drama I had was that I thought my purse was stolen. Ok, lost. Whatever. Here I had put it on the end of my daughter’s bed when I carried her in from the car. Ok, only a slight anxiety attack. I can handle that.

Now, to focus on 2008. I need to have some goals. I’ll post my sexual ones on my other blog. This is the clean one.

1. Beat my children more. Seriously, a lot more. When I say stop hitting me, I mean it. We don’t hit in this family, damnit

2. Beat my dog more. Seriously, when I say stay in the kitchen, I mean, stay in the fucking kitchen.

3. Nap more. When I say that I want to take a nap, I mean it. I don’t mean I want to lay down, then get up every 15 minutes to fill a sippy cup, or stop a child from sticking his toys in the electrical socket. Sheesh…can I have an hour for myself?

4. Sweep my kitchen floor more often. It’s pretty bad when the dog won’t even lay down on it.

5. Get up earlier. Honestly, do I need to hit the snooze 6 times?? Nooo..just set my alarm clock for later.. Wait then I won’t be…ok, nevermind.

6. Try to stand up for myself, without coming across as a total bitch. This includes no dirty looks, no snorts when someone talks, no sighing, and no stony silences.

That’s all I can think of right now. Anyone else have any suggestions?
