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...

I just sighed a great big sigh for you. I hope this is once again an outlet for you. I do think I would be insane without my bloggirls.

Thanks guys for the encouragement - I truly did breathe a big sigh yesterday when I was done posting. Funny what a little security does for the soul.

Bobbi - will try to not have anymore blazing rodent stories, at least not for this year :)

it took me this long to go through the "process" of being certified as a reader and i had to giggle when it consisted of me hitting the "accept" button. i am a knucklehead.

i too find myself editing my content based on not offending...especially after bobbi found my blog linked to a crazy guy who writes for the newspaper. privacy is indeed a good thing.

i loved the squirrel story. i'm sure he was fine, and his wife probably chastised HIM for setting up home in a chimney "i told you this would happen, but Nooooo, you were too lazy to go find a good tree..."

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...

Have you seen my sticker?

JG has been talking about a sticker all morning. I thought he was referencing some stickers he received from Valentine's Day, however I was wrong. I didn't ask for details like when did you last see the sticker? Where did you get the sticker? I found out what sticker he had lost. JG went to the bathroom and asked me to come in and examine his end product. "Mommy, do you see my sticker?" "What? Where?" I asked confused. "You know the sticker from my apple," JG told me rather disgusted. "Your apple? You ate the sticker on the apple?" "Yeah. It went in my tummy now I want to find it," JG said excited. "You said everything that goes in my tummy comes out in the potty." We didn't look for the sticker to JG's disappointment. We instead went over and peeled one off of an apple in the basket. All better now.

I am breaking up with...

my hair salon... A girl has a very special relationship with her hair salon. I have been "with" mine for nearly eight years, however have hit the tipping point thanks to a little reality show called "Split Ends". The owner of my salon was a participant on the show and swapped places with a stylist in Goodyear, AZ. After watching her little tirade on YouTube I am done. I am completely shocked, embarrassed, and angry I have handed over my money to this woman. She has always been affected, but this is ridiculous. She rips on the AZ salon for being in a strip mall - news flash - her salon is in a strip mall. Plus I have consistently seen women of all shapes and sizes, wearing all types of clothing throughout the years. Don't get me wrong I LOVE THE WOMAN WHO DOES MY HAIR (who is not this woman on the video) and am completely sad that we have come to this, however I cannot step foot in there again. I think I am going to call tomorrow and tell her what I really thin...
