randoms...

just cause it makes me feel better that all of you know this list of purely useless information... :)

~my oldest daughter currently has 4 jackets on the back of our sofa...4...
~i had ice cream for dessert tonight because we have a half-gallon of ice cream in our freezer that continuously falls out whenever we open our freezer (we over pack our freezer)... i want to get rid of it...
~our fireplace mantle is still decorated with pumpkins, gourds, and fall leaves garland...and Christmas is less than 20 days away...
~Katherine has a slight obsession with the Baby Jesus in the outdoor nativity scene at our neighbor's house a few doors down...tonight, she asked for us to open her window so she could see Baby Jesus and say goodnight to him before she went to bed...
~Hannah, who is a week away from being 10 months *sniff sniff* still has no teeth...
~tomorrow is Tuesday and, unless something is wrong here, i always have to wash towels on Tuesday... :) my mom makes fun of me for this "quirky" behavior...meanwhile, she always washes sheets on Saturday, so how is that any different? :)
~i downloaded my first kindle book and really like using the little machine... i didn't think i would, but it's pretty nifty :)
~i really want to put up the Christmas tree, but i am NOT looking forward to having to rearrange everything in the living room to accommodate the green giant...and yesterday, i remembered that i have a very speedy little one who crawls everywhere... rearrangement will be the easy part this season :) chasing her and saying "no, no, no" every 3 seconds will not be...
~Katherine has her own little Christmas tree that we put in her room last year... i can't wait to put it up again and decorate it with her :)
~i'm actually thinking snow would be kinda nice now...
~Hannah, all of the sudden, does not like to eat potatoes of any sort...she spits them out immediately and makes a terrible face :)
~i was supposed to make meatloaf tomorrow, but i forgot to buy ground beef at the store today :-\
~we haven't fired up the wood burning stove yet, but i think we're getting close to needing it... i can't wait :)
~i'm so thankful for my husband... i saw Dr. Phil a few days ago and the fathers/husbands on there did NOTHING... ry does a lot and is a great dad and husband... we're blessed...
~i want to make a cake right now...a breakfast cake...but it's too late and i need to go to sleep...
~speaking of sleep, i have not slept for more than 5 or 6 hours a night in weeks (usually less, in all honesty)...i'm exhausted...
~katherine likes to drink "hot tea" right now...but really, her "hot tea" is hot chocolate...
~i've been wanting to break K of using a paci for several months... quite honestly, i thought of an excuse every time i got serious about it...it wasn't fair to her since her world was rocked by her new sister, we wanted to move her to a different bedroom - too much change...potty training is hard and i want her to still have it for comfort, etc. dumb excuses... the other day, in a fit of irritation, i got the bright idea to snip the paci in the middle. she hates it now and will not use it... she tried using it for a few days after my "snipping" session but would just keep telling us that her paci had a scratch on it and she didn't like it. tonight, she told me she didn't want her paci at all when she went to sleep... hallelujah!
~this morning, K had taken her zippy PJs off before i got in to get her...seriously...and when i get in there, with a surprised look on my face, she says, "mommy, i'm cold..." REALLY???? :)
~life with a 3 year old has been an experience so far...humbling, frustrating, trying... k seems to be the topic of my randoms, eh? :)

hope you're having a great beginning of the week :) what are you up to? Christmas shopping? decorating? wrapping presents? :)
