What year is it?

I go to my blog to read my friend's blogs. I feel guilty every time, thinking I should do a post or at least show some pics. I don't have hardly any brain energy left by the end of the evening to come up with two thoughts that make sense. (I just had to take a deep breath to figure out how to even write that) That's pretty fried!
I'm good though, thanks for asking ;) Life is good, hard but good. I never knew boys could be so loud, high energy and heavy footed. My middle child (and he is so living up to the term middle child) was running back and forth around me and my kitchen island today that I finally yelled "stop it", "stop running and get control". Very earnestly he said "I can't". It was true, he could not stop himself. So I sent him outside, where he seemed pleased to be able to go. Ahhh, some days I want to take our babe and go hide out in a dark closet and rock him for as long as I want. After having my third child, I am calm and relaxed with the whole baby thing. I am in absolute bliss with this baby, no worries just enjoying him to the fullest. The catch now is how to be good mom to all three at the same time, whew! Still trying to figure this out.
So I'm still here, alive and well. Some days hanging on by a thread and other days I wouldn't give up any of the chaos. I am learning to let go of any preconceived plans for my day. This is huge for me. If I can't fit it all in, it's okay, don't push. When I push I end up with an unhappy 5 year old, 3 year and 4 month old, no need for that!
So as I may be breaking for a bit with blogging, I will venture back in I'm sure. The next post may be about their high school graduation but I will be back.

I got the below email from a friend from which she had gotten the same email from another friend. Since, I have no time right now to come up with my own thoughts in my blog, I thought I would share this. Believe me, I went to my Aldi plastic wrap and it had it!

I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Whoever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? You know when you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over. The darn roll always comes out at the wrong time.

Well, I would like to share this with you. Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, Press here to lock end. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too! I can't count the number of times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover so mething up.

I'm sharing this with my friends. I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about this.
