Whaaaaat??????

I'm happily brushing my teeth in the bathroom. I'm looking around wondering what else I could be doing while I'm brushing my teeth and I started to think to myself, hmmmm, I wonder what's in toothpaste? I picked up the tube with my free hand and continued brushing. As I was reading the back I noticed a WaRnINg: Do not use for more than four weeks at a time. What? Do not use for more than four weeks? I anticipated reading if you swallow more than what you are brushing your teeth with call poison control. I try to start adding up how long I've been using this toothpaste. Cory didn't like it, so I've been using it solo and it has surely been more than four weeks. Now I don't know what to do with it--do I take a break and come back to it or do I just keep using it? I mean it's been about three months and I still have quite a bit left and nothing seems out of the ordinary yet...But seriously I think that the warning on the toothpaste should at least been on the front. I looked at all of our other tubes of toothpaste and it was the only one with such a warning-phew...

Another thought I had while brushing my teeth and getting ready...Isaak needs to marry one of my good friends daughter. It's the perfect resolution to so many future problems. Just imagine Thanksgiving....I can see it now--the entire family together from both sides. AHHHH-the joy. Then my Son's Mother in Law could simply tell me when I'm bugging her and then she would already know my idiosyncrasies and love me for them anyway. I would love her too. Can you see how great that would be? Imagine the awesome games of ultimate Frisbee we could play before we eat on Thanksgiving??? It's sounding better and better!

The last thing that I've been thinking about..I was filling out some papers at the Doctor's office and it asked for me to write my status of being--it used to be recreation therapist, but now what do I put? I don't like the word housewife. It's not that it's a bad word or I don't know why I'm trying to explain this, but I want a different describer word like..............yep, I'm drawing a blank. Maybe I should put MOM in all caps.....I'm not sure, but if you have any ideas please share...

hmmmmm. Was the toothpaste you were using a whitening toothpaste or something? That is weird, but I'm sure that it is not a cause for too much concern or they would probably have a law suit against them by now.

As for your role, how about: Primary Nurturer? I agree, housewife just has that negative connotation to it.

Haha I loved this post! One, I would totally do the same thing. How can anyone just stand there and brush there teeth and do nothing else? We always have to be doing more then one thing at a time! Second, what toothpaste was it? I generally reach for the lotion or soap to read so I haven't read my toothpaste yet. Although, I probably will tonight :) And third, I think that Isaak and AliCherie would make a perfect couple. And I would love to play ultimate frisbee with you so it is a match made in heaven... and destiny. lol

Oh! And I think DottieLou had a great title: CEO. Or CFO would be fitting too.

Thank you for being such an amazing friend and for giving me delightful things to read. :D

Why does the doc care what you do? I mean, why is that even a question? And seriously, what was the toothpaste?

The culprit is Colgate Sensitive. I had a coupon, so I bought it. Now I'm discarding it--I mean what good is a toothpaste up aren't supposed to use for more than a month?

So entertained that there is a toothpaste that you can only use for 4 weeks. What's the point.

You could always put Nia/fitness instructor. You still teach Nia.

Good luck with having Isaak pick the girl of YOUR choice. If Kevin would have went with the girl of his mothers choice - well my boys would not be my boys. And when I 1st started dating him - my family would not have chose him either - but everbody loves him now...good thing huh married 22+ years. Thanks for the heads up on the toothpaste - I will be reading it tonight. I like Domestic Engineer....but there is nothing wrong with just plain old "MOM" - to me that means alot of things...:)

July 29 Ward Lake & the Library Ketchikan

It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. He's really snoring. It's been down pouring since we got here last night and it poured all day long. We got up and headed out to Ward Lake to a BBQ with their church.  It's beautiful. The kids thought it was the best ever because they had donuts, chips, hot dogs, watermelon, cherries and cookies. Isaak of course immediately started playing with some kids his age. Chloe and Lydia frolicked around in the woods and played horseshoes. It stopped raining for maybe 10 minutes, but other than that it picked right back up. I was sure they were going to cancel the BBQ, but again the kids seemed indifferent to all the rain. Some of them were even kayaking. I was too busy freezing! The hike around the lake is 1.5 miles and we saw a beaver den sans beaver. We walked around the Lake and it was like being submerged in the rain forest. Well it's not like being submerged in a rain forest. We were in a rain forest called the Tong...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

The Farthest North Point & Settlers Cove

The rain continues to come down. I've never seen it rain like this before. Teana and Derek told us that the rain is more consistent with weather in October than in the summer, but weather.com promises that a warm front is in store for tomorrow. We went to church in an amazing building. The ward house was completely built in Cedar. Apparently the church shipped a cedar kit and the members of the church in the area worked with general contractors to put it together. It's beautiful and it smells so good!!! Chloe didn't want to go to primary by herself. At first I was trying tough love, but she started weeping. Okay. So she was actually trully scared. I sat with her in primary and then someone in the sharing time chose to sing Gethsemane. Chloe immediately relaxed. I was again aware of how much Heavenly Father cares for his children. Gethsemane is Chloe's favorite song and she always sings it when she's sad or asks us to sing it for her. She then said it was okay if I...
