.madness.

Today is 7[365]!
Something tells me that I am going to get sick of
making the daily announcment of what day in the year we
are at...so I should probably stop now before I end up
driving myself mental over it.
Today didn't go quite as planned. For a few reasons,
but...bleh. Total bummer.
Im going tomorrow though, that is the attentive plan.
Today was catch-up day for me with some of my photography.
I worked on stuff, got caught up, hense calling it "catch-up"
day..how clever am I?
This afternoon Lucas informed me that he wants a baby sister.
He begged. He pleaded. He even went so far as to fold his hands
as if in prayer, and begged some more with his eyes all wide
and cute, and longing, and sooo sooo adorable.
I am however afraid that his request is one that won't be granted.
Tempting.
Oh so tempting.
But.
Hmmmm.
I'm thinking no.
Besides I think I have reached my limit. Is there a limit to how
many kids someone can have? I guess I should ask The Duggars.
Geez, that woman popped her 18th one out right before Christmas and
the day she had it, her husband was already saying that they would like
more. WOW! I mean. Very cool if God keeps blessing you with children,
upon children, upon children..on that whole topic, I will remain drama
zone free! Kudos to Mrs Duggar! You go girl!
I admit, I watch their show. I started watching it with Brenna and Lana,
kind of like ..because we are nosey and we thought it would be fun
to peer into their world a bit. I really didn't think I would like it,
but, I think I am just a reality tv junkie because it's like a trainwreck,
you dont wanna look, you dont wanna see, but then you do, and your eyes get
locked in and all hope is lost. You have been sucked into the TLC vortex.
I seriously have been because I have watched every single episode of Little
People, Big World faithfully. I even sat there and cried when their good
friend Mike died this season. I cried. I felt like I knew the guy who
built the infamous Rolloff farm pumpkin launcher!

*moment of silence*

Show #2 on TLC VORTEX
John and Kate Plus 8.
Is it just me or has John slowly gotten hair replacements?
I could swear that in one of the other seasons he was runnin a
little low on hair, and then this season, BAM full head of hair.
He probably lost it all stressing out about making his wife happy.
Kate, I like her, but I don't. I can relate to some of her tactics
but then others are like...dang lady take a valium.
I hate how she slaps John during their interviews. She seriously smacks
him while he's talking. And can you tell that she will be the one soley
responsible when John ends up on another TLC show called Intervention
because he is either going to turn to the strong drink because of her
constant nagging, or he is going to get an eating disorder because all
she does is remind him that he could stand to lose a few.
Ummmm...didn't she get a tummy tuck herself? How come he can't get one?
He just has to be reminded that he isnt eating right and that hes
looking a little blimpy. And honestly...he isn't.
[I just realised I really got stuck on this family..it's easy, and it's
even easier because my family is so perfect :]
My last rant about ol' John and Kate...
Their kids are pretty cute, especially the three smallest girls,
but..Maddie... dramaqueen. I think maybe shes just got a very strong
personality and..she got an immense amount of her moms genes in her.
I wonder if there will ever come a day when the sextuplets are allowed
to enjoy a messy icecream cone, all over their shirts, or a big huge piece
of gum in their mouth.
Hmmm probably not.

Now back to Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
They have 18 kids.
I watch the show..but..heck no do I know all of their kids names
I do know they all start with J because thats not at all annoying.
Their kids seem cool though. I mean, so far.
However, a couple episodes ago when one of the little brothers
started dancing in a baby furniture store, the older sister was very
quick to remind the camera crew that he wasn't actually dancing, he was
"Jumping for joy, the joy of the Lord" Ummm...right. He was dancing.
And guess what? He danced..and he boogied..he jumped...and he didn't lose
his place in line in Heaven, he wasn't demoted, he is still one of Gods
creatures.
The other episode that killed me, Brenna and Lana was when their oldest
son got engaged. Ok..so there is to be no contact until marriage. I understand
that, I get it..but they are allowed to hold hands..and holy crud, they held
hands every possible way I have ever seen hands being held. I dont think they
let go of one another until their wedding day and then Im pretty much they
both exploded. Seriously, it was kind of funny because they made it almost
weird to watch. I felt like I shouldnt be peering in on this couple "holding
hands". Sweet Jesus!
But yah, the Duggars got their stuff together. They do. You have to give them
that. And it looks as though, I have not mastered the English language.
Pray for me :]

It's offical, I think that is the biggest rabbit trail I have ever
gone down! Do I get a carrot?

Right,
On to some photos.
These are from today and such.
