The trials of having a blog...

Why do I have a blog? I mean, do I have anything important to say? All kinds of people have blogs and how many actually say anything worth reading? Well, I won't lie. I have nothing important to say. Nothing in the least. I figure maybe some one will want to read what my life is like or have a chuckle at how pathetic my life can be. I gotta say, it is a fun life... most of the time. So, what to say today that someone may think is important... Humm... Let me share the last 24 hours. First, a friend and 2 of her kids were suppose to come over yesterday. The house has been a wreck lately and I had a few more things to clean before they came. I got Sarah some breakfast, threw some laundry in, did the dishes and cleaned the stove top while trying to keep Brother (Joel) happy. I ran over to the freezer and got a bit of of frozen peach to put in Brother's teether. He still hasn't quite figured it out... he likes to bang it on the table instead. Anyway, went back to cleaning and racing around. Switched the laundry and then figured it was time to clean the table from the breakfast dishes. Oops! My eyes venture to the extra freezer and I had left the 5 POUND bag of peaches on the freezer! It had been an hour since I had take the peaches out and too late to put them back in the freezer. SO, I got a big pot out and cooked them on the stove. I had planned on making baby food with them anyway, just not at that particular time! Fast forward about 20 minutes and the !#(%*%$ pot boils over on to the newly cleaned stove top. Grrr! By then it is about time for the company to come and now I have a huge pot of peaches cooking and a huge mess on the stove. I tried my best to clean that up and called my friend who was now 20 minutes late only to find that she is sick and had left a message on my cell phone the night before! Oh well... Now I have 5 lbs of cooked peaches in the fridge waiting to be pureed. Ug. Yes, it was a fine day. After my friend was not able to come, Sarah, Joel and I headed to the library. Sarah loves, LOVES books. We try to go to the library on Fridays for story time and to get some new books to bring home. This time we missed story time so I read a few books in the library before picking 4 books to take home. One of the books is called Otto Goes to School. Sarah read the first word and was SO excited. She thinks that book is about her. She promptly took it home and picked the sticker off from the inside. GULP!! It wasn't a "sticker" but the library's coding system. Kind of like a security sticker.... Not a good thing to pick off! Such is the life at the Otto house!
