So what Wednesday...

So what if I am not like normal females and don't get all gushy about Valentines Day.  I guess I do have a tiny bit of my mama in me (probably a whole lot...but lets not tell her that)...

So what if I enjoyed my weekend without my kids more than I should have.  The fact that the house stayed perfectly clean for two whole days was amazing...it was totally awesome...can't lie...

So what if even though I enjoyed my clean house I hate missing my children's activities.  Hearing about how great my girl played ball kills me.  Mommy guilt is at it again...

So what if the wind could have literally picked up my house and blew it to the next county.  I don't know who pissed off the Wind God but it must have been pretty bad...

So what if I was sucked into another test on face book. A-I'm not sure how picking a child out of 12 pictures can give you any clue into what state you should be from. B-When asked what food chain I liked best I chose Dunkin Donuts...not because I like it but because I didn't recognize the names of any others. C-I'm pretty sure out of the 50 states it would NEVER be North Dakota...when you get more bad weather than Lake County then I'm out...just sayin...

So what if I'm a little worried when they say that you are what you eat.  If that's the case then I'm a cookie dough brownie, diet coke and spicy mustard middle aged lady who thinks she is healthy because she runs once a week if she is lucky.  I think I may need to rethink my life choices...

So what if a photo my sweet friend posted of a 4" spider at her home in Hawaii almost made me promise myself to NEVER go there again.  It is a damn good thing I love the sun and sand a little more than I hate spiders because it was a close one...

So what if my son's obsession with golf never ceases to amaze me.  I'm not kidding when I say that if he could pitch a tent on hole 9 (even in the sub-zero temps) he would.  I know I say this EVERY week but it is a little ridiculous...

Hope all of you lovely readers have a fabulous rest of the week!!  Sweet Tater-

So What Wednesday...

So what if I didn't follow my poor dad's fatherly advice and went to Tater's game anyway.  The roads where not as bad as I thought and after 37 (almost 38) years of doing what I want to I'm pretty sure that he wasn't surprised...

So what if I feel terrible that my poor children are longing for normalcy.  The worst part about it is...I hate to break it to them but this is the new normal...sorry...

So what if the last month and 13 days has literally kicked my a$$.  I'm ready for a nap...followed by a nap...you get the picture...

So what if the rest of Oregon is getting snow and out of nowhere Lake County has became the banana belt of the state.  I've lived here since the womb and never seen this.  How is it even possible??...

So what if the questionnaire on face book is a big fat liar.  How could it say that I am a pint of beer when clearly I am a bottle of wine??  The insanity...

So what if basketball has taken over Darb & I's life.  4 kids, 3 teams and 7 games in the last week has made life awesomely crazy...

So what if migraines can take a hike.  I don't want you, don't like you, don't need you and hope you never visit again.  The END!!

So what if my Taters may have a slight germ phobia.  Besides an impromptu golf game I have literally NEVER seen him move so fast.  At the first sound of puke he was packed and out the door to his grandparents...at 1:00 a.m..  I hope after all of that he is lucky enough to not be the next victim...

So what if I am convinced that although I don't mind getting older my bones and muscles do.  I never thought I would be "that" person but at almost 40 but I am.  After a long run I feel like I am 70...UGGGHH...

Two days until Valentine's Day.  Have fun with the one's you love!  Sweet Valentine-

So what Wednesday...

So what if I'm so sick of laundry that I may literally make my kids go naked.  How is it that in two days I can have 5 loads of laundry??  I didn't even know they had that many clothes...

So what if the let down of buying, remodeling, redecorating and beginning to run the Happy Horse is setting in and I don't like it.  Why must this happen??? Why?? Why??...

So what if the only time I get to see my best friend is in the middle of lunch hour.  Talking over a counter while I make sandwiches is better than nothing but we really need to catch up.  I see some Bonita Margaritas in our future...

So what if I have forgone "real food" for Snickers Chex Mix since Sunday.  Making it for Darby sounded like a good idea until I became addicted.  I just have to say this...Snickers Chex Mix is the devil wrapped in chocolate, caramel and nougat...

So what if getting older makes me happy.  It is amazing how nice life can be when you surround yourself with amazing peeps.  Bring it 38...bring it...

So what if the .30 that I am off on my check book is consuming me.  I'm literally dreaming about it...I hope I find the mistake soon or this .30 could just be the 30 pennies that send me over the edge...

So what if I'm pretty sure I need Quick Books for Dummies.  Enough said...I suck at computers...

So what if the Budweiser Super Bowl commercial with the puppy and the horse made me tear up.  I'm a sap...and hormonal...deal with it...

Happy Hump Day friends.  Wishing you a fabulous week...until next time.  Sweet puppy- 

So what Wednesday...

So what if Friday at the Happy Horse was just short of HELL.  I thought I had things under control but it was pretty much every bad dream I have ever had played out over the lunch hour...

So what if I find it reassuring that the Mexican restaurant's sign is still wishing us all a Merry Christmas.  It means I'm not the only one a month behind...

So what if I wish I loved coffee.  I'm convinced that not drinking coffee makes me at least 3 times more uncool (which is just so bad)...

So what if my poor children are pretty much in charge of them selves right now.  I'm hoping to get on better schedule pretty soon so that I can go back to doing things like...being a mom.  Sorry Tater and Tales...


So what if I was trying to put off the guy at the news paper because I DO NOT want my photo in the Examiner (even though I realize it is great advertising)...only to have him show up when my mom was there and then I didn't have a choice.  Well played paper guy...well played...

So what if I'm actually learning to tolerate the golf channel.  First of all...I'm too tired to really care.  Second of all...Arguing about the TV is not a battle I want to have.  Thirdly...It's a heck of a lot better then some of the alternatives...

So what if I feel bad for Tales right now.  Lets face it...BEING A TEENAGE girl sucks!!  Even worse then that...BEING THE MOM OF A TEENAGE girl!!  It is so hard to watch them go through a time in your life that you would NEVER want to relive yourself...

So what if once in a while I'm still blind sided by adult girl drama.  Seriously??  Aren't we old enough to be over that crap??  The plus side to going through it when you are older---I consider the source and move on...

So what if tomorrow is my Darb's birthday and I am struggling to figure out what to do.  After throwing him a surprise party last year I promised to keep it low key (we all know that I'm not very good at that).  Lucky for him...I'm too tired and busy to plan anything too exciting.  Dinner and down time together sounds perfect...

Happy Wednesday.  Wishing you all a fabulous rest of the week!!  Hope to see you at the HH soon. Sweet paper-

So what Wednesday...

So what if I wish I would have stole the hot tub from the hotel this weekend.  Standing for 12-14 hours a day is doing a number on my body and my achy bones need it.  Surely the cops would understand...

So what if I am worried to open the wine I was given at the Happy Horse opening because I'm pretty sure I could polish off the entire bottle in one sitting.  Yep...that's what I said...the entire bottle...

So what if I'm already looking forward to the weekend.  A little extra sleep might be over rated but I am willing to be the judge of that...

So what if having my Tater bring me breakfast to work is one of the sweetest things that anyone has ever done for me.  I'm pretty sure whoever he marries will be one lucky girl...

So what if whoever he marries will be competing with Yorkie's, golf and Nascar for rating.  I was informed the other night that I was a "close" 4th.  Seriously??  I gave you life??  4th??  Good luck, who ever you are...you may need it...

So what if I set my phone alarm to stoke the fire in the middle of the night at 2:30 pm instead of 2:30 am and it took me three days to figure out why it wasn't waking me up.  Can you imagine how many things I could screw up with a smart phone??...

So what if I had to miss Bunco this month and missed the girly shenanigans more than I should have.  Where else can you pay $5.00 for a night of fun, dressing crazy, drinking wine and yelling BUNCO??  Thank goodness I will be back in February...

So what if I was sure that my car was in need of MAJOR work, only to find out that it was the gym key (of which I haven't used in months) interfering with the anti-theft system.  Another reason to run outside and not on a treadmill...

So what if I survived my first day without Prairie and am still living to tell about it.  I didn't want to let her go but I just needed to put on my BIG GIRL panties and do it already...

I hope that all of you are having a good week.  I'm running on empty but enjoying every moment (or at least almost every moment).  Come and visit me soon.  Sweet breakfast-

So what Wednesday...

So what if I wore the same paint laden outfit 5 out of 7 days last week. I know I looked haggard but who wants to ruin all of their clothes with paint.  In my defense it was washed every evening...

So what if the last two days have actually blown my mind.  Yep...I'm pretty sure there has been multiple explosions in there...

So what if I am worried that I may never be able to run the Happy Horse without Prairie.  She is officially my business security blanket...

So what if golf balls are Sage's newest obsession.  When it rolls under my chair and gets stuck for the fiftieth time in a row I want to putt both her and the ball somewhere far, far away...

So what if the convenience of having a teenage driver is nearly outweighed by the enormous bill I receive every month.  How will I ever afford two drivers??  How am I even affording one??...

So what if making 9 pendant mason jar lights seemed like a great idea until I had to do it.  Why do I insist on saving $3.00 by making them?  Note to self: Pay the damn $3.00 and save yourself (aka Dad) hours of frustration.  End of rant...

So what if today I was literally brought to tears by the love and well wishes that I received from so many awesome people.  I'm literally speechless. Thank you doesn't even begin to describe how grateful I am...

So what if this post is almost So What Wednesday on a Thursday?  I made it...barely...

Thanks again to everyone for all of the wonderful support...you are the best.  Happy Hump Day, hope to see you at the Happy Horse soon. :)

So What Wednesday...

So what if I'm pretty sure that I have aged 10 years in the last week.  I need more gray hair and wrinkles...said no one EVER... 

So what if I'm convinced that my Tater only thinks of three things...golf...when he can golf next...and who he can golf with.  Yep...that is pretty much it...

So what if I've decided that using your daily calories on sugar when you are stressed is a good thing.  There is nothing that a cookie can't heal...

So what if I know that we need rain/snow but I'm enjoying the weather anyway.  I realize that I will be regretting that this summer when there is not enough water to knee board and keep my lawn green but I just can't help it...

So what if my children's arguing might just push me over the edge.  By edge I mean...the edge of my sanity...the edge of my patience...the edge of my ability not to spank teenagers.  They don't know how close they are...

So what if Christmas Break was the longest two weeks of my life.  Come on...I can't be the only mom who is thinking this??...

So what if I currently obsessed with Diet Coke more than normal (which is ridiculous).  I know it is terrible for me but unfortunately it is my drug of choice...

So what if we haven't had dinner before 8:15 all week.  Late practice can really get in the way of real life things like feeding your children...

So what if I was secretly filled with joy when Taylea locked herself out of her phone for a few days.  Watching her go through phone withdrawals made me happy (sympathetic mom right here).  Although I will admit that her determination to get it fixed was admiral...why can't she use that to clean her room or do homework??..

So what if every week I complain about cell phones.  It is a fact that life was better when the only thing cell phones did was make a call...

Happy Hump Day readers.  Stayed tuned for Happy Horse details.  Sweet golf-
