The Schmidt House rules according to JG

This morning JG snuggled in bed with me and listed off the rules of our household as he understands them:
  1. No throwing pillows
  2. No throwing pillows at lamps
  3. No throwing pillows at glass mostly water glasses
  4. No hitting your friends or sisters with hockey sticks, bats, dowels, kitchen things (utensils) or pillows
  5. You must keep your clothes on at all times unless you are in the shower because no one wants to see your underware - that would be way barassing (embarassing)
  6. Do not pour Tang in the refrigerator
  7. Frush (flush) the toy-it (toliet)
  8. No frushing toys or toothbrushes in the toy-it
  9. Tell mommy when I go outside in front, but I not go when mommy is in the shower cause she gets mad and she is wet
  10. Do not give the dog a bath with the hose and hand soap
  11. No drinking beard (beer) cause you can get sick

I honestly do not know where Rule #11 came from. I asked JG who told him that and he said he just found it out in his head. Let's hope that little voice in his head speaks to little man REALLY, REALLY loud when he is in college.

Whoa. Lots of pillow issues at your house! At mine, you could replace "pillow" in each line with "Molly's tennis ball." As in: No bouncing Molly's tennis ball in the kitchen when we have guests over and Mom has just put pizza sauce on two homemade pizza crusts, because there is NO WAY to salvage them once the dog-slobber ball has bounced its way through BOTH, with the dinner guests looking on in horror.

And as far as college goes: no comment. :-)

I am usually an open book...

however have made the decision to have The Schmidt House be invite only, you are the ones that I want to share our lives with - if there is someone that I have omitted by mistake, please let me know. Think that there are some family members that I do not have email addresses for, so will need to track those down. I have found that I have been a little blog "stuck" for the last few months knowing that there were a lot of people who read my site and I became a little self conscious about what I was writing as to not offend anyone - not like I go out of my way to offend, but after awhile you realize that there are some pretty sensitive folks out there. I know it takes all kinds for the world to go around, however I don't want to have to worry about it when I am here. So now I feel a little more free to speak my mind which you all know has never been a problem, but now I feel I am among friends. Thanks for sharing this little adventure with the Schmidts...

Hiatus no more

I don't know what it is about January, but 'round about January 15th I go into a complete and utter funk - hence no blogging. It is as if I need to cocoon for a bit, metamorphosize, and re-enter the world in February. This year has been especially bad due to our chaotic schedules with the kids, plus I have been working almost 60 hours per week as it is budget time and we are determining what exactly does "hunkering down" look like. Don't worry, work is still fun, challenging might be a better word. I truly love my new job, actually it was a promotion - didn't officially know until this week, so that jump starts the old engine as well. Other than that I have also realized in the last week my body is really, really mad at me. Things are just not working as they should and finally made the decision to go see the doctor who helped with the torn ligament a few years ago. Bottom line, just haven't been taking care of myself and he cracked me around a bit so can ...

Canola, help desk hell and hanging with Mike and Larry

Work so far is going well. I cannot believe how large the Cargill corporate office is - I seriously got lost going to and from the bathroom. I got all messed up when I left our "pod" because I didn't look to see what the sign hanging from the ceiling said. I knew I sit in "Grain I/T", however when I got back from the restroom all I saw was a sign for "Canola". Go figure - guess Canola and Grain sit together. I am in the middle of IT land with programmers abound. I get to share a "bullpen" (four desks in a common area with a table in the middle - the table is the home to 2 monitors, a bunch of cables and is surrounded by boxes full of more techie stuff) with Mike and Larry - both are rather interesting. Larry likes the NY Jets and Mike evidently likes Amish furniture. Those are the only things the two have talked about. Haven't quite figured out why Mike carries around a 1% milk jug full of water wherever he goes - haven't seen him dr...
