I usually have pretty crazy dreams, all on my own. Imagine taking those dreams, and adding in an episode of spongebob. lol. Since Ivans gone hunting, the boys have moved into our bed, two of them anyway. When I went to sleep last night, Cam wanted to finish the show he was watching. He fell asleep, and the tv was on all night. I don't remember many details, but I know I was in a restaurant, and Spongebob and Mr.Crabs were there, they were arguing about money. lol. Incorporating the goings-on of Spongebob into my dream. Very bizarre!
Also I tend to add random celebrities to my dreams. Makes things interesting I guess. Also last night, I dreamed that Ivan and I went to the boys' school for something. Walking into the classroom, I saw someone crouched down behind a chair, and told Ivan, look Faith Hill's here! She was there doing some observations because she was going to become a teacher, but she didn't want anyone to see her there. lol. Then before we left, she came up to us and said hi, and gave me her bracelet. lol.
Sometimes I wonder why my brain works the way it does. I couldn't make stuff like this up while awake.

My Tanner
I Love My Tanner. Hes Getting To Be Such A Big Boy Now. Handsome, Responsible, Smart, Funny. Hes Also My Buddy. His New Favorite Thing Is Hanging Out In His Room. (And He's Not Even An Actual Teenager Yet!) But Hes Not Trying To Avoid His Parents (brothers Maybe) He Just Likes His New Room. I Know This Because His Second Favorite Thing Is Hanging Out With Me, In His Room. He Says, Come In Here, And Takes Me By The Shoulders And Steers Me To His Room, Not Taking No For An Answer. He Knows I Don't Like How Cold He Keeps His Room, (The Kid Is Crazy!) So He'll Get His Blanket Ready And Puts It Over My Shoulders. He Just Likes To Spend Time With Me. How Awesome And Weird Is That To Say!? He Likes To Cruise Radio Stations, (He Likes Country And I Like It Too, But I Also Like To Dig On Country, It's Our Thing.) This Is When He Tells Me Stories About School,Friends, Cameron, Whatevers On His Mind. We Play What If, We Make Plans. Just Talk. Its Awesome And I Try To Savor Every Single Moment. Thats Where I Am Right Now, This Saturday Morning. (Im On My Phones Internet, I Hope I Can Get This Posted From Here.) Its 63 Degrees In This Room. (His Clock Tells The Temp.) Ive Got Two Blankets Tucked All The Way Around Me, And A Pillow On My Feet, He Takes Good Care Of Me. :-) I Hope This Lasts Forever. When He Stops Inviting Me Into His Room Im Going To Be Crushed.
Finding My Way Back
When I started this blog, I had every intention to keep up with it. I did, for the first three entries. But if you will notice the last post, that's my very good reason for the blog abandonment. First of course is the moving and decorating and perpetual organization. Second, I went out of town 3 weeks after closing, and was gone for over a month. And third, it's hard to blog without an internet connection. All of the companies that service my rural area were unable to hook me up. :( Had I known this before buying the house..... just kidding. So since the other options are too costly for us right now, I'm left with using Ivan's work laptop. Only problem with that... he's not home much, and when he is he's doing paperwork on it, or it's late and I'm sleeping. His aircard usually operates at dial-up speed anyway. Sigh.
This weekend Ivan's away on a hunting trip. He's supposed to have his computer with him at all times, but he stayed up late Thursday night to work ahead so that he could leave it here for me. :) (also he's on the hunting trip with his boss, so you know..) I set a goal for myself to catch up here, which in my (crazy)head means going back to where I left off and posting about my summer travels, and posting pictures. I'm not asking too much, right? We'll see.
I want to say that this blog is exciting to me, because I'm looking forward to reconnecting with all the friends that I see are also blogging. I've been able to read most of your blogs, I've just not been able to comment like I'd like to.I'm going to try harder to participate. (says me who still has boxes in the garage, and three kids, and holidays looming in the near future. hehe.)

Our New House!!!
Today we became homeowners. Holy Crap!
Here is the back yard, green and pretty.
And a balcony perfect for sunrise pictures.

Non-tivo Rant
I guess this is the kind of topic my blog is destined to contain. lol.
I love tivo. I had it for three glorious years. It was a directv tivo, but still a real tivo. Then directv lost their freaking mind and started making their own dvr. I heard about how crappy it was, from more then one person. I finally managed to talk my mom into getting a tivo, but not before the change, and I was at her house when they installed the dvr. I struggled through setting it up for her and tried my best to teach her how to use the vile thing, while trying to figure it out for myself. The whole time I was thinking, thank the lord I'm going home to my tivo.
A few months later, we're watching a movie and we hear a metal-y schreechy noise. Then silence. Then the tivo equivelant to the blue screen of death. I knew it was bad. I knew what would happen if i called directv, so i waited until the next day to make the call and hear the lady say, we can send you a new dvr! Sigh. Two days later I got the stupid non-tivo delivered to my door. I've had high blood pressure ever since. It's so maddening! It doesn't record sometimes, it records reruns, sometimes you go to watch and it's just an hour of black nothing. Sometimes it just freezes and needs to be unplugged and reset. And it's not very user friendly at all.
Yesterday I get a message on the screen saying something like, Good news! We've updated your software! You're going to love it! Well, I didn't think I would, and I was right. Last night we were playing cards with Lana and Alan, and Max is trying to be a fifth player that we didn't need. I know, Spongebob is the answer! Since his brothers let him watch MonsterQuest, and he won't go into a different room by himself, I had to use the main tv. That's when I find out they've taken away my ability to record two programs, or to record one and watch another. WTH? This is so not cool. It said, You're recording SNL, no spongebob for you!(to be said in the soup nazi accent.) I had to stop recording the very first SNL from 1975, hosted by George Carlin which i'd been anxious all week to see, to be able to change the channel. (At least it was a new-to-us episode of Spongebob, hilarious! Almost made me forget what I'd just learned about my tv-watching future.)
I've since collected a bunch of Spongebob episodes for emergencies.
If I wasn't playing the part of a responsible adult, and closing on a HOUSE! TOMORROW! (WOOHOOO!) I'd go buy a tivo and be done with it. Santa, if you're reading my blog, that's on the top of my list. I've looked on craigs list where we got our fridge and a deep freeze (without incident), but it seems to me the people who sell kitchen appliances are a different crowd then the ones selling electronics. I'll take my chances with the non-tivo box.
That's my story, that's my headache of the day. Thanks for listening.

Welcome!
I now have a blog, lookie there. I've been thinking I should get one for awhile now, but I didn't quite know what it's purpose would be. I still don't have a clear picture of what I'll use it for, but maybe I'll discover that as i go. Most likely just a place to show off pictures and jabber. Sounds good to me.
