1. My Mom still plucks my eye brows :) [Anytime she's here for a visit, it's mandatory. She's the best I've ever found]
2. I've never eaten an entire oreo (only the dark piece in cookies and cream ice cream)
3. 99.999% of the time my phone is on vibrate. I have what I like to call, "Ring Tone Anxiety" if I can hear my phone & I am not near it, I start to panic....i.e. changing a diaper..I begin to rush. If I'm near it, I answer [unless kids are screaming] If I'm not, its a nice surprise!
4. I still roller skate (not roller blade)
5. I owe $10 in library fines!!! [don't judge me! I can be a bit overzealous when I go to the library. I find all these books, check them out with the intention of reading them, and usually bring them back having read ONE! This last time I went on vacation and forgot to return them...oops!

Green Organization
Stumbled upon these organization ideas and wanted to share. Sparks great ideas for recycling in these "tough economic times" *Hubby and I joke about saying this for everything... i.e. Mr.Thurgood: Man, I'm really tired today! Me: It's because of these tough economic times.

Restroom Refugee
We mothers know all too well what emotions a simple bathroom break can bring out in our children. I seem to collect quite an audience with me 3 year old, 20 months old, and 3 lb dog, Emma.
I often feel as though I'm an academy award winning actress with the audience in the palm of my hand when I suddenly disappear to take care of business. Inevitably feet patter, voices call for me and the hide and seek game is over, as I am stranded and my audience of three occupy themselves in the bathroom I am in like a game of sardines!
Tonight I have foundrefuge. You see, Daddy is home and I slipped away not really thinking about it. As usual, my son knocks on the door and attempts to enter. The door isn't locked, but a little jammed :) He asked me what I was doing and I responded. He told me he wanted to come in (not sure what the fascination is) and I reminded him that he doesn't like it when his sister enters the bathroom when he's there. I then try to tune him out and he goes away. Cue the second child....slipping toy bracelets under the door (or attempting to), "here u go mommy". The silence worked last time and Sargent Daddy picks up on my peace attempt, so he scoops the wee laddy up and away. Not a minute later....."scratch, scratch, scratch" you guessed it! The dog....REALLY! Ignorance is bliss :)
It worked Daddy has the outside perimeter and I am enjoying a room all to myself :) I have long since finished what I set out to accomplish, but I can't help staying a little bit longer. So here I am a refugee in my own restroom, blogging about it. Yes, I did take the laptop in with me (I'm a Multi-tasker), and yes I am blogging in el bano. And I like it. :) Mr. Thurgood just asked if I was still alive..I laughed. So I guess that means my time is up. Until next time my dear friends and mothers....find solace and peace in your porcelain placed palace :)

Tithes
My son has begun asking for toys/things. So we felt it was a good time for him to start making his own money. He has done some work for Uncle and the E's (a neighbor of ours). With his money he chose to purchase a toy motorcycle and gum.
For one of the Family Home Evening Lessons, Dad taught about paying tithing. He asked my son, "who gives us everything we have?" My son quickly responded, "Sister E!" (our neighbor) Although Daddy was the mature parent, I busted up laughing. I couldn't stop. It was so cute we just had to share it.
