Flatulence can be funny

If you don't think flatulence can be funny or are offended, you might not to watch this video. I laughed so hard I cried. It's a good thing I just went to the bathroom or I might have peed myself! Enjoy! (as a disclaimer, you might want to use the bathroom first - for those of you who "leak")

Any of you have a child that doesn't like pre-school??

G, my pre-schooler, keeps telling me she doesn't like school. She tells me that at bedtime, she tells me in the morning and says she wants to stay home. I can't get anything else out of her, except that Samuel is not a nice boy. I do know he punched her in the face one time. That was a long time ago. The teacher told me that Samuel and G aren't allowed by each other anymore. I guess he really gives her a rough time. I found out from my friend, Chauncey tonight that her son also has had trouble with this Samuel and that Samuel and hit her son quite a few times. The notes in her son's folder say that Samuel got set in a time out. Doesn't sound like it's working.

What do you do when your child tells you they don't like school when they always did before? It sure makes me wonder what's going on there. I talked to her teach a couple weeks ago and G had been misbehaving and her teacher said she was was on her quite a bit. But the notes lately have been that G has had good days. Maybe it's just a stage. She also went to Chauncey's house to play after school. She told me she didn't like that or riding the bus, either, when I know she did.

OH! Question for all you bloggers out there! I would like to add a thing to my blog where people can subscribe to it. Can anyone tell me how to do that? I couldn't figure it out. Is it something you have to pay to be able to do? I went to feedburner, but still couldn't figure out how to do it. If anyone could help, I would be very appreciative.

If anyone checks this regularly, sorry I haven't posted in a couple days. I am not feeling the greatest. I didn't really have anything to say tonight, but wrote anyway. Wish I could think of something funny, but I am just feeling really weird.

Good night!

Has the only person you've ever fooled been yourself?

A comment on the last post made me realize that I am depressed. It wasn't bad at all, just made me examine myself. I have battled and fought it. I guess the only person I fooled was myself. I didn't want to admit it and have it take hold. I guess I have to work through it. How can you add funny to depression? I honestly want to, but not sure if I have any funny in me tonight. I guess that is just a stage of life with chronic illness. So, sorry to be a bummer and a boring post, but I guess that's how it goes tonight.

Autumn is only lightly snoring so far tonight. I haven't had to nudge her, YET! So, I think I will just curl up with my poodles and call it a night.

It's "A Night!"

More ponderings from my twisted mind tonight

I have to ask....did you listen to my yodel?

I ask because I am wondering if ANYONE listened to my yodel

and if I totally stink in yodeling so far

and if I just "think" I can sing, but I really can't

and if anyone is even paying attention!

and how many times I have just sat here while I really need to pee, I mean use the restroom.

and if this was an old trait that I've always had, or a new one that has sprouted, and if that is the case, how long ago did it sprout and why

and also, why am I still sitting here when I should really be in bed

and why is blogging so addictive

and why are reading other peoples blogs addictive

and are the above two questions really the same thing

and again, why am I sitting here when I have to be up early in the morning and I should really go hop in the shower

and oh, I could really use some chocolate right now. I would say pizza, but I already had pizza tonight. those of you that know me know that I could go on about pizza for days, and sometimes I do. sometimes you are tired of pizza when you have not even had pizza because I have talked about, dreamed about and drooled over pizza so much.

did I say I have to use the potty? I did? so what are we still doing here, then?

I am a comment junkie, but yet have few comments

Ok, so I guess I have gotten into this blog thing a little more than I thought I would. I have really enjoyed doing it. I also find I keep looking to see if anyone has commented. Ok, so here is a blog roll call....if you are reading this, please click where it says 0 comments at the bottom (unless there are actually more than 0) and just put your name so I know SOMEONE other than ME is reading this. I've even started reading other people's blogs and commenting on their blogs, hoping that they would see my comment, read my blog and comment me back. No such luck. Bummer.

I never knew how much comments would come to mean to me. I also guess it's going to take me a while to become a famous blogger who gets an audience. Maybe I am only funny to me. Maybe no one enjoys my tongue pictures so I scared them all away. Maybe I really don't exist and am really not writing this and only think I am! That must be it! That really has to be it!

So, come on...someone? anyone? Leave me some comment love!

The office change....and my first attempt at yodeling

Ok, so if you haven't figured it out, the office switch is really switching the kid's rooms and the twins got twin beds. (Why do they call them twin beds when there's only one of them, but I had to buy two?)

At nap time it's not always going so well. I don't know if it's because dh is putting them down and I don't think they are quite sleepy enough....I think he just wants to put them down so he can do whatever. And, he's not consistant in getting them to stay in their beds. Today he was watching TV and would only go in there on commercials. Needless to say, they made a mess, and O woke up S. They do really well at bedtime. Once in a while we will need to go back in there, but not usually. I sure can't wait until their furniture gets here. I was told that it should be shipped today or tomorrow. I hope it's true and that they weren't just feeding me a line of bull.

O and S got new shoes. I printed out the sizing chart and measured their little feet. It is so neat to see that their little feet measure the exact same. One foot is a little bigger than the other and it's the same size and same foot as the other twin. I guess that's how it goes for identical twins. Today was nice with beautiful sunshine, so I took the kids outside for a little walk up our street. Of course they found and fell into mud puddles with their new shoes. Oh well, they had to get broke in sometime, huh? Brian got them cleaned off pretty good. It was nice for all of us to get some fresh air.

I got my CD, U2 Can Yodel, today!! I am so excited. I am already learning how to break my voice. I sure hope I can get my girls to yodel with me eventually. Wouldn't that be cool? Finally, a dream I have had for 16 years is coming true! I am finally learning to yodel! I can't believe I'm doing this, but here is my first attempt (first day) at yodeling. You might want earplugs and to make sure your precious crystal isn't right by...Oh, and if you listen to this, you MUST leave a comment so I know you listened to it. So, the next time you see me, if I see you snickering, at least I will know why! ha!


Signing off! - Julie, who is still sort of zombie-like, but not too bad, just a little out of it.

I guess I scared the stinkey waste product out of my friend

Have you ever gotten to ride in the front of an ambulance with the lights and sirens blaring? Have you ever been called by a friend and told that they can't stay awake and they don't know where their kids are? Have you ever been told that you trashed your bathroom, ripped wallpaper off the wall, broke a garbage can, turned on the oven, got some break out on a plate then put the rest of the loaf in the freezer and not remembered any of it?

This describes my day yesterday. I remember very little of it. Most of it was just what people told me. I totally lost a day. I remember getting up in the early afternoon, sitting in the lazy boy, chatting with Erin and Emily for a couple minutes before they left and then waking up this afternoon about 3:30 pm or so. There are a few other vague memories amongst those, but very vague and dream like. I guess I can say it's exciting to be my friend?

When I got up this afternoon, I was so zombie-like. I could speak, but really didn't want to. My eyes wouldn't really go to or do what I wanted them to. They just kind of stared blankly. I feel a little more with it now, but am still kind of out of it.

All the Dr said was that my tests came back ok and to follow up with my cardiologist in 2 days. That place is nuts. All they ever do is take a chest xray, do blood work and an EKG, get the results back and send me home. Umm....I don't think I was there for heart related problems this time. I just couldn't be woke up, I was comatose. All the Dr told Fred was that I needed extra fluids. They didn't even hook me up to the IV at the hospital. What does that have to do with being lethargic? Oh well. I'm still alive and kicking...but not really so much the kicking as that would wear me out. I am sparing some bruises for all the attempts to put in an IV port which they only ended up using to take blood from. My neck and arm ache the worst, but my whole body feels like I pulled muscles.

Just another fun filled day in the life, or not-so-called life, of Julie, who had really thought that her days of ER visits and hospital stays were over.

Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo

There is something that I have wanted to learn to do since I was 19. You guessed it! I want to learn to yodel! Why? Well, I just do. My friend, Katy, and I tried to find something to teach me back then with no luck. We weren't on the Internet back then. I did finally order me something. I can't wait to get it. I read that when you are learning to "break" your voice, it's best to do it in private, with no interruptions, (your family will appreciate you for this, also.) So, hopefully some day on here, I can record me yodeling a little ditty and post on here. It may be a while, because I have to learn and practice and get good. It probably won't help that I get out of breath easily.

I am betting that none of you share this desire with me. But, if you do, let me know....come on over, and we can learn to yodel together. At least it will be more fun than listening to my diet Pepsi fizz. Ha!

Just another unknown fact in the land of Julie. I bet you are learning all kinds of things about me!

Gone Crazy. Be back soon

I was visiting a dear friend of mine today. I have to admit that seeing her 4 walls was really a nice break from seeing my 4 walls. It was great seeing her. I have really missed her. Jesse was telling me how in high school her friends were the handicapped one, the town drunks daughter, the fat girl, the promiscuous girl and there was one other. Since we are friends, I asked her what that made me....I have finally figured it out....I am the insane one! Bwah ha ha!

Closing time at the office today went really well. O and S were really tired, so they were ready to end the workday. Break time went well, too! This office switch between the junior partners is really working out well. Now we are just waiting for the rest of the office furniture so O and S can really make themselves at home.

G actually behaved today pretty well. I hope this is a good sign of more to come. The snowbanks have sort of melted and refrozen, so they aren't as big and are hard, so I can't throw her in them any longer (not that I did before, I just wanted to.)

At Jesse's house, I got to hold baby Y. Wow is he sweet! If I would have had my camera, you'd be seeing a pic. He is such a little flirt and very charming. Y and Jesse had to be the highlight of my day. Jesse really seems to get my sense of humor. Wackity yuck, yuck, yuck.

Well, I'm just sitting here listening to my diet pepsi fizz. Isn't that exciting? Now THAT is just how much fun I am. Yippee Yeehaw!

Hey, did any of you used to watch Hee Haw? I used to watch that with my dad every Sunday night while we ate popcorn together. I really miss Hee Haw. I think it's because they had that wacky sense of humor that I love so much. I sure wish they played reruns.

Signing off now...feeling really boring tonight, with not much funny. Take care, and behave yourselves. And if you don't, just post it in my comments! Toodles!

Some say thanks for the smile, other say not at all pleasing to look at

Well, I guess my sense of humor and talents aren't appreciated by all. Oh well, I guess we (what am I saying? do I have multiple personalities here??) can't please everyone. This place is somewhere that I come to have fun and just let my wits flow. I guess those people who find me not pleasing won't look anymore, so just those of you who are enjoying my show will stay. Thanks for your comments, they have meant a lot to me.

The Office switch hasn't gone as well today. O and S, the junior members had a hard time with break time today. It didn't help that G, who has a little more seniority, ran into their office at break time and announced loudly that they were done with their breaks when they really hadn't even started them yet.

I am in the mood for a road trip. Where to? Oh, I'd like to go lots of places. Indy, Chicago, Arkansas, Wisconsin. It's the lack of my body cooperating that is holding me hostage. Darn that body anyway. My spirit is free even if my body isn't.

I guess I don't have anything funny to say today. My website being not pleasing to look at really kind of bummed me out. I know we shouldn't let people affect us that way...maybe I'd better just try to go back to sleepy town. You know, the town where you go to sleep. That wonderful place of slumber where your body recharges and you can have some weird dreams. Just be careful what you eat and what you are listening to...it really does affect your dreams. I can't think of the word because of brain fog, but I'm sure we have all seen the picture of some young student sleeping with a book on their head trying to absorb what was in it while they were sleeping. I truly believe that if we listened to it on tape, while we were sleeping, that it would help us retain it! Hmm....this provides some interesting thought. I think I'd like the bible on tape, therefore I would be more knowledgeable in it. Good thought to end the day with.

Good night!
