I am In love!

Yep in love with snack food. I am trying REALLY hard to got down into a size 8, that isn't asking much since I am in a size 10 jeans as I type this (And I can breathe as well!) BUT after having the bug and what not I seem to have stalled out at 136-140 lbs and size 10. I wouldn't fuss EXCEPT I have Boxes full of size 8 clothes including the most comfy jeans in the world. So what's the problem it is just a size right? Well my problem is I LOVE snacking, I am a muncher it is what I do. (And no I don't do weed anymore so that is not it) But I get bored and I head for the kitchen. BAD IDEA FRED! So up until now I have been heading in there grabing chips or something equally unhealthy. Last night though I bought a "munchie pack" it had the chips ahoy! , Lorna Doone shortbread cookies, and oreo. all 100 cal each HEAVEN I tell you they are so yummy (well the chips ahoy! ones are) and they are satisfing and mmmmmm perfect

outside fun

it has finally gotten "cool" enough that I don't mind throwing the boys outside to play for a little while at a time which is great since Boo got a bubble machine for his birthday. So for a couple of hours a day the boys go outside with their bikes, i turn the bubble machine on and set it in my window and I sit at my computer while the boys play outside. The girl sleeps and mommy has some time "to herself" with the occational shout of "Get back where i can see you! Life is good.

Grumpy

Im A Bitch Lyrics
I wonder if it is possible to make a song play when you read a blog becuase this is at least the second time I have posted lyrics. I guess I just find songs that fit my mood whatever mood that happens to be today I am in a rather irritable mood at least my boys are getting some clue that this a day to avoid the mommy and are shockingly playing in their room, I think the princess' mood is matching mine but the poor dear is teething so she has an excuse I suppose. As for me well (guys who happen to read this you may wish to close your eyes or just skip this blog all together) when you have ben pregnant, or breastfeeding for over 4 years straight and in those 4 years (includeing the 6 weeks after you give birth) you have had a whopping 6 cycles well after all that time for the first time my body is mine, no baby growing or feeding off me and that lovely time is here for the first time after the tubal well I am grumpy and crabby and well just stay away from the Harris girls for now *laughs* well now that I am done complaining my princess is useing my arm as a teething toy (Gross) so I am going to find her something else to chew on byes...

One crazy weekend!

This weekend was a blast. Simply put anyways. On Saturday after I got my sister we all went to Sweet tomatoes for dinner that is the first two pictures the first is a family shot with my Aunt takeing the picture. the second is me in my brother's scout hat. On Sunday my sister and I went shopping a SCORED on an awesome dress for me is is green with white daisies I will try to find a pic of me in it. We managed to make it to my brother's Eagle ceremony which lasted maybe 15 minutes and we all sat around and talked for about anohter 2 hours while I was tryign to herd the whole crew (20 in all) down the mountian so we could go out to eat at applebees which is where the pic of my daddy and the Bug got taken. Have you ever taken 20 people to one resturant, talk about noisey but it was good. We played pass the princess with the bug and the boys played musical laps after they got done with their food. There was a lot of laughter and love. Good times I tell you, good times. I don't know how long dinner lasted but soon enough it was time for us all to split up and head home. I love it when my family gets together. It doesn't happen too offten but when it does I always have a feeling that can only be described as euphoria for a while after everthing is over. When we came back home my sister and I took a few photos, that is her with the kids in the last two pictures. After we put the kids in bed we did girly stuff and played with make-up by played I mean she taught me a few things I did not know how to do with make-up and then it was time for bed. A busy weekend down and now bring on the birthdays. (more on that in a later blog ;P )

My baby brother is an Eagle Scout now. I couldn't be more proud of him (well unless he got out of Pahrump but we won't go there right now.) The ceremony was short and sweet, he surprised us all with honoring our Grandpa with a mentor pin. My big tough gramppa was teary at that. I will blog more with more pictures of the whole family tommorow but for today, this is my brothers day. Congrats Dork I love you!

Shelly's got talent

I am so friggin' talented. Really. Why do you ask? Well see that pretty bruise on my thumb? That isn't a normal place to get a Bruise is it? Nope I am done with brusieing the "Normal" parts of my body like my shins, I have moved on to this. Booness was being a twerp and desided to throw a tantrum and so I went to spank his bum well as my hand came down his sandel clad foot came up and caught my thumb, a minute later it felt like it was on fire, not just the thumb the WHOLE hand all my veins in my hand are extremely pronounced right now like even the most nervous nurse's asst. could find a vein if I needed to give blood *laughs* and my thumb while my hand was burning was turning purple and swelling. Nice huh? Dad says it sounds like I busted another blood vessel. Another one you say? Yep it has happened before once again something really dumb I don't remember what but once again it is my right thumb this is getting old...

Owwy.

So my genius idea of making a Doormat out of plastic bags is prooving to be more difficult/painful that previously thought. I am making progress with it as you can tell by the pictures. I have about 100 feet of rope that was the EASY part! Sewing it sucks like HELL though seriously that needle in the picture has stabbed me multiple times and forcing it to go through my tightly braided rope is HARD as hell! (I am sounding rather much like Jeff Dunham's Peanut ) this doormat MIGHT get done by winter. I hope so, since that is why I am making it. For some reason come winter time we track in a TON more dirt inside than in the summer I think because we are more apt to go outside when it is cold rather than melt your skin off hot ;D
My index finger and my thumb are gonna get some nice looking callus' before this is over I can already feel them forming ugh. Ok enough complaining. I WILL finish this silly thing.
