Hi, my name is Dork

Forgot to take out something for dinner so we decided to pick up pizza on the way back from Tori and Hai's Dr appointment.  Dominoes hooked us up and as we were walking out the door I thought the box looked more like a medium than a large.  Once in the truck I started scouring the box for some sign of what size they were, reading the small print on the label, guessing at what the numbers mean.  After a while Chandler asks what I am looking for.  I told her and she says "Moooom .... read the lid of the box."  In big letters under the logo it says "Large Box".  My duh lol

The Weiner Mobile!

The other day Chandler and I were driving home from the Y and saw the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile on the side of the road. Pretty cool we thought at the time.  Come to find out later they were going to be at Walmart Sunday afternoon.  Course we forgot about it, but ended up leaving Walmart just as they were setting up.  The kids had this picture taken - Adam wasn't tall enough.

 

Aren't they just the cutest weiners?! lol

Business

So today I got an email from a writer of the local paper who wants to do an article about local people who sell on etsy.  Very cool!!  I recently joined TeamSc on etsy - it's a group of artisians who work with all different mediums who work together to support and encourage each other,  increase our exposure, and in turn, sales!  I've been busier than I anticipated over the summer since I can't ship anything chocolate right now.  It has fallen off some, but I've been doing some eBaying to make up for it.  And of course I'm FULL with extra kids too since school is out.  Exciting things going on!

Things my kids have said ....

Tori, 3 - was asking for her cuppie (sipy cup) but not using good manners so I said "I don't hear any magic words!".  So they she fussed a bit and finally hollered out "Abracadabra I want my cuppie!!"

Haiden - after listening to a HUGE screaming/yelling/door slamming arguement between DH and I, comes up to me and whispers "Mommy - that was SO cool!!"

Show me the Money!

After a bunch of back and forth with PayPal, and returning the Nike caps to them, not the seller, I DID get my $14 back a couple days ago!  Woo-hoo! 

 

Then we got a letter in the mail - the guy who did the work on our house after Charley was convicted of unlicensed contracting and ordered to pay restitution to us - almost $13K!  I doubt if we ever see it, but it's nice to know it's on his record and hopefully no one else will get screwed the way we did.  To all those in Charlotte county and the rest of Florida - stay FAR away from Robery Dobey!!

Arthritis

Oh lordy ... I'm 29 and falling apart.  I have arthritis in my right shoulder, both elbows, both wrists and ankles.  Today my left wrist is realllly bothinering me.  I hate taking drugs if I can avoid it but I'm thinking I can't avoid it much longer.  Anyone have a great *natural* idea to make it stop hurting?
