It was apparently driving all the inhabitants of said house crazy, and none of them were fast enough to swat it and kill it.

When I'm done pooping I wont flush the toilet, and then the fly will land on my poop and we can hurry and close the lid and flush the toilet!!!" </div><div><br /></div><div>Luckily for all of us he forgot and accidently flushed the toilet when he was done. </div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAFvYc5dTwHrhWiVfXPpJgMazXDgQ_SEBdrazy_FnipBIO4uy2lT-IQDTfF5vo_icUbL14Ucx-hGblnebvpMxe1Dr7Vn1xENttk3lN9_2yz9iH6yHDOhfrga8cU-e6ZrlcnmB4N5wqmWs/s1600/DSC01045.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAFvYc5dTwHrhWiVfXPpJgMazXDgQ_SEBdrazy_FnipBIO4uy2lT-IQDTfF5vo_icUbL14Ucx-hGblnebvpMxe1Dr7Vn1xENttk3lN9_2yz9iH6yHDOhfrga8cU-e6ZrlcnmB4N5wqmWs/s320/DSC01045.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467179717663344706" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">But clearly he's a genius!! </div>Angela Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900202642481684735noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573768744898181933.post-36133427385427106842010-04-28T12:06:00.000-07:002010-04-28T12:19:19.488-07:00NumbersI decided to do numbers instead of bullets, just to mix things up and keep you on your toes!<div><br /></div><div><ol><li>My backyard is within days of being finished.

It's for my darling husband that I adore so much. He really doesn't have any symptoms except one... the man has been spending some dough!! The main reason I haven't sent him in for evaluation yet is that he's been spending the money on me!!!!!<div><br /></div><div>The first large purchase was some more diamonds for my wedding ring. I recently got the idea that I wanted another anniversary band for the top side of my wedding ring. We went out to find one that matched my original wedding band but couldn't, so he bought me 2 new ones!!! p.s. They're bigger than my original wedding band!!</div><div><br /></div><div>The next purchase was an even bigger surprise than the first. He showed up to my oldest sons soccer practice and said, "I found something online that I want to buy you". I was expecting something for the pool (which is another money swallowing monster that I am so excited about!), but I was completely wrong. It was an Escalade!!! It's an '08 luxury package Escalade (dvd player, navigation, seat COOLERS!) with less than 12,000 miles on it. It still smells new people!!! I love, love, love it!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>My life feels completely charmed right now, and not just because of my new things but because my husband is obviously completely crazy about me.</div>Angela Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900202642481684735noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573768744898181933.post-12352204371502986712010-04-08T21:49:00.000-07:002010-04-08T22:02:27.652-07:00apparently..<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When he grows up he's,"gonna marry a hot-chick"</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihUQYFbUbfY5eDu8pbhZghjLKcRkZlkum2p91GlxCBEa5OgtblXM3azf8W2TdExJTsivYwgKPNZktR1CUOLHPnLXPbSGzoPXpZ1fR3JYhFnrp9epXRmbN-p7LcIBjUKt83INW6VM5tWjQ/s1600/DSC00854.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihUQYFbUbfY5eDu8pbhZghjLKcRkZlkum2p91GlxCBEa5OgtblXM3azf8W2TdExJTsivYwgKPNZktR1CUOLHPnLXPbSGzoPXpZ1fR3JYhFnrp9epXRmbN-p7LcIBjUKt83INW6VM5tWjQ/s320/DSC00854.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457998370710577698" /></a><br /><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't wait to disapprove...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">... and then show her this picture...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqrvTNGS4h5z1VoKXPCncNdz5IGZm_NuIEn0aBdjkNBj0O40FhQVhMUgPUl7KpNe_D7Y4Y3e9GxQKmQsiudPtpZUmXJ9JO9NBjs3aLbdlgHW3ps6p-z624Yx7B7aCdGuTD6w1E15Yx6Qc/s1600/DSC00962.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqrvTNGS4h5z1VoKXPCncNdz5IGZm_NuIEn0aBdjkNBj0O40FhQVhMUgPUl7KpNe_D7Y4Y3e9GxQKmQsiudPtpZUmXJ9JO9NBjs3aLbdlgHW3ps6p-z624Yx7B7aCdGuTD6w1E15Yx6Qc/s320/DSC00962.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457996972696200386" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">It's why I had children.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div>Angela Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900202642481684735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573768744898181933.post-79501643737360847282010-03-31T16:08:00.001-07:002010-03-31T16:10:45.813-07:00Why dinosaurs are extinct<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgboTiTUsV_NkVkqNghDwnmAmUkKxKLei170yFnEqHDzVdx2p2JVqe-WkCuxqs7NHYpPMJ5mKeJvtSExRoV2E1d4HcxcBCzs_hYCLHH5NwS4q1lHjNWYruj1qIAYI2w4T0jD_LSZa0ILGB5/s1600/image1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgboTiTUsV_NkVkqNghDwnmAmUkKxKLei170yFnEqHDzVdx2p2JVqe-WkCuxqs7NHYpPMJ5mKeJvtSExRoV2E1d4HcxcBCzs_hYCLHH5NwS4q1lHjNWYruj1qIAYI2w4T0jD_LSZa0ILGB5/s320/image1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454938969945120530" /></a>My mom sent this to me in an email today and I literally laughed out loud, for kind of a long time.

The duties she took over include but are not limited to, scrubbing the toilets, cleaning out my refrigerator, washing the walls, and vacuuming. I've never felt closer or more in love with my husband. I've also never had such strong loving feelings for a woman I don't really know.</li><li>My 6 year old took 4th place in a karate tournament. We couldn't be more proud, especially because the 3 boys who beat him were HUGE!!!! But he held his own!!!</li><li>I've given up caffeine. I don't know what is different about this time, but I'm not even missing it. I'm on day 4 of no caffeine and I feel fantastic!!!</li><li>My bottom is bruised from sitting on horribly uncomfortable chairs at school 2 days a week. It's a serious problem.</li><li>My 6 year old asked me if I remembered going to Olive Jungle and eating breadsticks, I think he meant Olive Garden. But jungle is close enough.</li><li>My husband bought me new dishes for Valentines day. They're super cute. They also prove that my mother was wrong when she said things wont bring you happiness, because these dishes make me happy every time I look at them. Even when I'm loading them into the dishwasher!!! </li></ul>Angela Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900202642481684735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573768744898181933.post-81811152843079455452010-02-19T07:45:00.000-08:002010-02-19T07:56:23.262-08:00love it!!!<div style="text-align: center;">My 3 year old is playing tackle football by himself. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> His team is the Stealers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> The opposing team is the Teenagers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_OAiRP4bz63HZxuEsGFzNWbmPgbZemmUe2Vg8Pl9gtkgUoYpn3CVY1FlnBOfX6t6QND7XiwsZtszBAQQz6TlBQGLb3YXb5tHtad8hvKslG9mp7hVT-Yep8JNhOFNpbIXOHeUiPsA9Xkc/s1600-h/DSC01018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_OAiRP4bz63HZxuEsGFzNWbmPgbZemmUe2Vg8Pl9gtkgUoYpn3CVY1FlnBOfX6t6QND7XiwsZtszBAQQz6TlBQGLb3YXb5tHtad8hvKslG9mp7hVT-Yep8JNhOFNpbIXOHeUiPsA9Xkc/s320/DSC01018.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439983299424061394" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I love that kids brain!!!</div>Angela Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900202642481684735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573768744898181933.post-9428253428893700772010-02-14T09:43:00.000-08:002010-02-14T10:54:13.595-08:00I almost peed my pantsI don't know if I will be able to convey the hilariousness of the situation through my writing, but I'm going to try my hardest.<div><br /></div><div>Jason and I had exiled our children to our bedroom to watch TV while he and I watched a movie downstairs. They had been relatively quiet when we suddenly heard a loud thud. I waited a few moments and sure enough my youngest came trudging down the stairs yelling that I needed to look because something fell. </div><div><br /></div><div>I ran upstairs and as I got to the top of the stairs my oldest casually comes walking out of his room with his hands in his pockets and calmly inquires "what's going on mom?" (and I knew then that whatever was going on was his fault) as he falls in line behind his younger brother on the way to my bedroom. As we walk through the door to my room I see that my curtains along with the curtain-rod to the sliding glass door are on the floor. My oldest shouts, "OH MY HECK!!! What happened?!" and throws his hands over his mouth in fake shock. </div><div><br /></div><div>My youngest then turns to his older brother and says incredulously, "you did it!"</div><div><br /></div><div>And that's when I started laughing so hard I almost peed my pants.</div><div><br /></div><div>After I assured my oldest that I wasn't mad about the curtains falling, (they were barely hanging on by a thread as it was) and that I just needed to know what happened, he admitted that he had accidently pulled them down. </div>Angela Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900202642481684735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573768744898181933.post-33266748142459910792010-02-10T08:14:00.000-08:002010-02-10T08:28:46.675-08:00Valentines DayIt's almost here.<div><br /></div><div>I've always felt like Valentines Day was a mean holiday that was created to make single people feel miserable. People used to accuse me of feeling that way because I was usually single on Valentines day. But I haven't been single on Valentines day in over 8 years, and I still think it's a mean holiday that makes single people feel miserable. It's also the worst night of the year to go out on a date (everything is obnoxiously crowded), or get flowers (can you be any more unoriginal?). </div><div><br /></div><div>But make no mistake, I am madly in love....</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxmN9Am_j27QFvAF5F9Iraj8KVAfGaJpy-KyjK0zJT9Zp6elYvyDg1gtMLQPt8xyf8_xBwIBlCr-JiRdBrgLbwixls-m3-65P_NhjTw4wTrwazzIoiFE_85tRUtv3trQVFgVXMr8G-FFg/s1600-h/DSC00809.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxmN9Am_j27QFvAF5F9Iraj8KVAfGaJpy-KyjK0zJT9Zp6elYvyDg1gtMLQPt8xyf8_xBwIBlCr-JiRdBrgLbwixls-m3-65P_NhjTw4wTrwazzIoiFE_85tRUtv3trQVFgVXMr8G-FFg/s320/DSC00809.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436651855749694722" /></a>....and I do expect a nice gift from him!!Angela Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900202642481684735noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573768744898181933.post-54249024199962994882010-02-03T15:05:00.001-08:002010-02-03T19:23:36.376-08:00Bullets<ul><li>I'm trying really, really, really hard to give up my coke and coke slushes. It's not going so well. The longest I have made it in a single day was to 3pm, I was literally gagging and shaking when I finally gave in and went and got a stupid slush. I'm in trouble. </li><li>My youngest got punched in the arm today by my oldest and said, "ouch! you hurt my feelings!!"</li><li>Something else I'm trying really, really hard to give up.... swearing. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I have a potty mouth, and it is rubbing off on my oldest. But I have to tell you, he used the term a$$hole like a pro when yelling at the other drivers in his racing video game.</li><li>Remember a couple posts ago (like 10) when I gave you that quote and then said, "name that movie", it was from A Few Good Men. That was the movie that made me want to be a lawyer. I still really want to be a lawyer, but I also want my hair to stop falling out and my bathrooms to stop smelling like urine. </li><li>I never thought I'd be one of those women who tried to do it all, but I kind of am. Except I've given up on keeping my bathrooms from smelling like urine. </li></ul>Angela Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900202642481684735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573768744898181933.post-33302971322388995102010-02-01T19:24:00.000-08:002010-02-01T19:26:48.785-08:00A quick shout outToday is my moms birthday, she's a great mom and my best friend.

It started out depressing because I couldn't find ANYTHING worth buying, but my luck changed and I ended up getting two new shirts. One of the shirts I got is a Lucky brand t-shirt. I love those because they look cute and nice, but are still super casual. So I don't feel like a freak going to the grocery store in them, but I also look hot if my hubby happens to call me to go on a lunch date. <div><br /></div><div>Anyways, while I was trying on some Lucky shirts I decided I might as well try on a pair of their jeans too. Now, when I was in jr. high, and high school Lucky brand jeans were the shiz. If you wanted to be at the height of trendy and cool, just wear a pair of lucky jeans. And if you were a guy, you wore lucky jeans with a white "wife-beater" tank-top. And if you were a guy who wanted to date me, you also needed to have your ears pierced with little silver hoops in them. But that's a whole other therapy session.</div><div><br /></div><div>Wait, what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, I was trying on some Lucky Brand jeans...</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, Lucky Jeans have never fit me very well. They've always given me the appearance of wearing a diaper. It wasn't cute, and I was never at the height of trendy or cool. But I figured, things have changed, I've had two kids, the jeans are now twice as expensive as they were before (at least), so they should definitely fit me properly now. But alas, they still give me diaper butt. </div><div><br /></div><div>Luckily though, I found a gorgeous pair of 7 For All Man Kind jeans that erase all the bad memories and negative emotions that I have from never being able to wear Lucky jeans!!! Now to just convince Jason they're worth it......</div>Angela Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900202642481684735noreply@blogger.com0
