I saw this one on my friend Sara's blog and I hope she doesn't mind me stealing it, but her blog is locked so I just wanted all of you to share in this joy of Valentine's Day with me. I reminds me of when I was at North Cache and they would sell carnations for the students to buy and send to each other. I never got one, secretly always wanted one, but I sure said nasty things about all the girls that went home with armfuls. I think this is the reason I want Tyler to do something, (mostly just take me to dinner), for Valentine's Day.
Here's what Paige has been up to, by the way, Stampin' Up ink lasts for days.

Pet Peeves
I was reading my sister's blog, and lo and behold, my lack of blogging is on her pet peeves list. It is for her and only her that I do this:
(Mine also are in no particular order, this is a little harder for me because ever since I had 4 kids in five years, there aren't that many things that bug me. If you don't believe just come to my house after I get the kids in bed, how it looks is how it remains until morning, and I sleep just fine.)
1. I hate it when people pretend to ignore their children's bad behavior so they don't have discipline them.
2. Uncapitalized proper nouns drive me insane, I don't mind if other people like to leave their children's names uncapitalized in scrapbooks, but I just can't make myself do it. I think this comes from years of telling my students to CAPITALIZE!
3. Now I know a lot of you do this, but here is your chance to change(if you want to), Tyler let me in on this one that I had said wrong for years... you should say, "I couldn't care less" instead of "I could care less." Sorry, it will bug you now.
4. When I stay up late and then my children wake up, their cries go all way through me right down to my toes. Then I am mad at myself and think, why didn't I go to bed two hours ago so I could have at least got a few hours in.
5. When the driver (mainly Tyler) drives, and drives, and drives to find a park instead of just parking far away and walking, which would have been faster.
6. Yarn and teeth. Enough said.
7. Dry hands and feet snagging on my garments.
8. Nazi checkers at Wal-Mart who won't give me that extra fifty cents off my pop because, "blah, blah, blah", or maybe Wal-Mart checkers in general.
9. Lazy sales people who act like you are bothering them when you ask them to do something within their job description.
If you just thought of any of your own pet peeves while reading this, consider yourself tagged!

Yes, January is Over!
Well, I don't have one new picture to post, but since it is February I need to move my old post down. And, I have now finished reading Jane Eyre and am going through withdrawals, the book consumed me and I wanted to do nothing but read. The twins have had the croup for a few days, which has now become a nightmare cold for all the kids. Hopefully we will soon get back to sleeping at night, In the meantime, I'll just be reading about Mr. Rochester, or watching him, since I had to buy the DVD's, and doling out the Tylenol. Right now all four kids are alseep, so I feel a nap coming on myself.
