Last blog of the year

Can we get a Hallelujah, mere hours until the year is done and over with. I have to admit, I am not sad to see it go. I am very happy that Christmas is over and done with. I find myself becoming more of a Grinch each year. If it weren't for kids, I wouldn't even bother putting a tree up. I am having tons of fun with my presants though. I got a 30 gb Zune. It is great. I also got a keyboard to play music on. LOVE IT!
Bad news for all the people that have been crossing fingers and praying for us. This month is not the month. My little friend came. So in a few more days I go back on Clomid and we start all over again. I am very happy to know that the Clomid is actually doing what it is suppose to. The whole month I have been sitting here worrying that it isn't working. Now I know. So please do keep your fingers crossed and prayers going. I greatly thank you. I am none to excited about starting this again though. The effects of it last all month, and it is greatly worse while on the medication. It really is quiet horrible. But what can you do, besides not take it and not get pregnant?
I have found a new stand up comic who is soooooo great. His name is Jeff Dunham and he is a Ventriloquist. Not only is he be best I have ever seen but he does more than I have ever seen. He has heck knows how many dolls, but he typically uses 5 in each show. I watched one of his shows the other day for the first time, and I was about 2 seconds away from peeing my pants! But a word to the wise, this is not for the faint of ears to listen to. There is quite a bit of bad words in there!

One more year almost down

I am so excited. One of the last birthdays of the year is done and over. Only one more to go. I am almost done with all my Christmas shopping. I only have ONE more thing to buy. I can't believe how happy that makes me. Every time I have had to go anywhere to pick something up it makes me almost want to go into the mountains of Tibet and find a cave where no one will ever find me again. Seems much more safe that way to me! I can't believe another year is almost here. It is amazing how fast time is flying. When Mark and I first got together Jacob was 2 1/2- 3 years old, now he is eight. Growing like a weed and not far from out growing me. So painful to see. Not in a bad way either. I have come to realize one of the problems with Americans. We never slow down enough to enjoy the good things in life anymore. Everything is rushed, have to have a full schedule, have to have our kids in 50 different things so they barely have time to do their homework let alone have enough space in their heads to remember it. We feel we have so much to do when we really don't. Heaven forbid we be burdened by the very things that we gave life to. Much easier to sit them in front of a tv, with a remote in their hands playing highly inappropriate games that they shouldn't be playing let alone watching. We take everything for granted. We work more than anyone else in the world, and we value stuff over anything else. How can so much stuff make so many people seem so happy. What a load of crap. Everything we value is the total opposite of what we should be valuing. Look at drivers. Everyone on the road is either reading, talking, texting, or looking up something on their computers. They think they have to speed, cut people off, tailgate and just plan be rude. Do people not know that in a 60 mile drive, if you are going 5 miles over the speed limit you will get to your destination 3 minutes early? 3 minutes that is it. Why don't people get off their rear ends and leave 5 minutes early instead of what they do? People just think they are more important than everyone else and their for their actions are justified. No ones actions are justified because of that excuse. It is so silly. People need to stop being so self absorbed and realize that their are other people out there, doing the same as you, trying to get to work, to get to the doctor, airport, mall, whatever and everyone wants to get their in one piece along with their car in tact. If I didn't want to be around my family so darn much, I would so move somewhere small, and I mean small!!!!!! No traffic, no shopping malls, NO RUDENESS! It is no wonder so many people suffer from hyperactivity, and depression. Because the way they lead their life is depressing, why shouldn't they be depressed, and they have to be hyper to get through a day of the crap we are expected to accomplish just to impress our peers.
Well now that I am done ranting, I just wanted to say that I am so very excited that I have all but one thing on my list to buy, and that another year is almost gone and done with. That isn't as negative as it sounds either. I just couldn't find a better, happier way to put it.
