I really should post when having a good day, huh?
Well the HOA meeting was today and it was dumb as usual. I am so tired of Lake St. Louis in general I just want to run away screaming and find a house in a GOOD school district. But the housing market stinks!
William ordered additional cable channels (even though our perfectly good antennae picks them up just fine for local) which will cost another $50 something per month. So much for college tuition! Like I'm going to have all this time to watch 200 channels while taking care of two children.

Poopy Day
So it is barely even noon and it has been a REALLY poopy day.
Maddox woke up at 6:20am. Even early for him.
Nothing around here other than Walmart and Target seems to be open before 10am. This really stinks when you have to be home by around 11:30am for naps. You can hardly get ANYthing done at all. And you can't really go after naptime because then you run into all kinds of traffic. Speaking of traffic, here are the poopy things that happened:
-Waking up early
-The car has NO stroller inside!!! Just great!
-Maddox wanders aimlessly around Christian bookstore driving me up the wall and is in a terrible mood.
-I just changed his diaper before we left and he manages to pee through EVERYthing
-I am passing Victoria's Secret where the nice lady helps me find free underwear when the Coupon is missing!! All I had in my envelope was the paper - no card. So no free underwear for me and wasted more time.
-Somehow I get caught in traffic anyway and I-70 west is in a standstill. Idiots can't drive in the rain. Oh yeah - it started raining when I left the mall. Just fabulous.
-Yeah, did I mention Maddox is in a terrible mood?

Wii Fit
Wii Fit is probably one of the neatest workouts ever! I love all the options and games. Nap time.

Mom Groups
I don't have my hair cut for $100 nor pay someone else to clean my house. So I guess I don't belong to either group. Sigh. Just need to find a group that likes discussing things other than their hair and Oprah, and doesn't care about their appearance to an extreme extent.
I have my very own dumpster!!! The dumpster will be here until Friday and my "throw away" mode can seriously go to town.

Ender's Shadow
Finally finished "Ender's Shadow" and I am onto another Shadow book. I just got it so I don't even remember what it's called. LOL Ender's Shadow was GREAT as usual. Plot, characters, style, Everything. Orson Scott Card is SUCH a talented writer. Too bad he's mormon. LOL
I am deleting my gripe with Amazon. After they stated on the account that my Wii Fit will be delivered on May 27th and won't arrive until June 3rd - they sent me a UPS Tracking number showing it will arrive on the release date!!! I LOVE Amazon!! I don't have to wait in line; I don't have to pay sales tax!! Can't get better than that. And around here I saved like over 7% in sales tax alone.
Oh, the book I couldn't remember is The Shadow of the Giant. It is kinda weird... maybe it is because so many of their books have children in them, it is difficult to think of everyone as adults now.

Ender's Game Series
So I read Ender's Game a while ago and finished just now "Speaker for the Dead" by Orson Scott Card. What a great book! No wonder it won best Sci-Fi of the year - and multiple other awards. It is nice to see a main character that has parents and gets married. Spiderman, Superman, even Harry Potter lack these characteristics.
Right now I'm watching CSI. It is okay. Not as good as it used to be. Ghost Whisperer and House episodes are getting better.

Best Book Club Ever
So went to the BEST book club ever - Chesterfield SAHM Group and discussed "While I Was Gone." Very fun and we actually got through all, if not most, of the questions.

Best Chocolate Dessert Ever
Out on a whim, we went to Longhorn Steakhouse for dinner the other day. Usually our favorite dessert is Olive Garden's Black Tie Mousse cake. But this TOPS it!! Chocolate Stampede costs the same and you get TONS more dessert and it tastes fantastic!
I really wish we had a yard now. This swing set at Walmart is the best deal I have ever seen!

The Great Dinosaur Mystery Solved!
Ken Ham pushes that dinosaurs and humans lived side by side and the earth is only 6000 years old. The documentation in his book isn't very good and can only give one or two examples without going in depth. I like his enthusiasm, but not the book.
Remember to finish reading the Ender's Game series by Orson Scott Card. I'm not sure why I quit reading this.... perhaps it is because I didn't realize it was a series. I read Ender's Game a few years ago. Here is the list of the series to take to the library:
* Ender's Game
* A War of Gifts: An Ender Story (set during Ender's Game)
* Ender's Shadow
* Shadow of the Hegemon
* Shadow Puppets
* Shadow of the Giant
* Speaker for the Dead
* Xenocide
* Children of the Mind
The Dave Glover show has been advertising Blue Sky Creamery ice cream like it is better than sex or something. I tried it today - it was okay. I still think Cold Stone tastes much better. Blue Sky almost had a "ice milk" after-taste. Bummer. I was very disappointed. He is also advertising Gateway Credit Union's checking account which gives you 5.15% - which is true but ONLY up to $1500 balance, IF you make 15 non-pin debit transactions and do everything electronically so they don't have to spend money sending you statements. Now if I could get that rate up to $15000, I would have start thinking about it.

My Favorite Things
What I would LOVE to get:
Pottery Barn's Fiona Duvet and Sham. And get a nice king-size head board to match. We so desperately need a king size bed I think!
This rug is super cute - but also more expensive than Pottery Barn! What's up with that Target?? There is a set at Ashley's Furniture I like, but no pictures on the internet.
Funny story of the day: I walked to the park and spent about an hour there. We happened to run into my friend Julie S. Walked all the way back home and realized my car remote was missing. I didn't want to walk again, so we drove - which is actually like 4 times further than walking. And the second time we are there we run into my friend Amy!! How cool is that? Esp. since we found my car remote! Woo hoo!
