I can't wait for summer vacation

We are on the last day of a four day weekend thanks to President's Day. It seems like the kids have had quite a few days off lately for one district meeting or another. All I know is it is going to be a very long day with the Schmidt kids.

They woke up antagonizing one another and JG screaming, screaming and screaming. Little man seriously screams like a girl, it is this high pitched shrill and he just doesn't let up. AE doesn't seem to mind the assault on her eardrums because she just keeps dishing out whatever JG is screaming about. We are time out #2 and it isn't even 9:30.

We are going over to Shel's house at 11:00 for lunch and to share our joy with others, hopefully it isn't contagious.

I love your blogs new look! Your kids are so cute, of course they aren't screaming in this pic! I can't believe how much your daughter looks like you. Hope you ened up having a good time over at Shelly's.

Ahhh, Susan, you assumed it would be so much different here? haha. As I told Susan, we also had a lovely morning. Sawyer threw a raging fit at Walmart when I wouldn't give him a donut so I had to march through the store to the checkout with him screaming. People looked at me with mixtures of pitty and concern (for me). Thankfully, since it was WM I didn't get any "can't you shut that kid up" looks. They'd all been there! Ahhhh yes, now I remember, this is why I work outside the home. hehe.

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma
