couch wars

Well, the weekend weather cooperated-- with the exception of a nasty thunderstorm Friday night.  My son woke up holding his ears and couldn't go back to sleep.  Poor kid.  He's also afraid of his door knob...I guess it has a face- or so he tells us- so we'll have to take care of that-- any one have any suggestions???  Anyone???

Does anyone else have this problem?  I'm calling it couch wars.  Some people call it a sofa-- but the word "sofa" to me is too fancy-- we just have a plain old couch- you know the kind-- the kind that has seen it's fair share of coffee stains, dog hair, and a few "broken" springs.  Along with Lord knows whatever else may be lurking underneath it.  Anyway-- NO ONE  wants to sit either on the left side or middle of the couch-- it is an all out war to be able to sit on the right hand side.  If some one is sitting there-- and God forbid they get up-- it's a race to sit on that side.  If you go back and say "Hey !  I was sitting there!!  The person who stole your seat then comes back with the famous line-- "You got up- you lost it".  I had to practically push my husband off of it this morning.  Then the darn kids attempt to sit on you- or they will sit so close to you as to make you uncomfortable so that you do move.  Why oh why is the right hand side the side that everyone favors??  The reclining portion of the right hand side doesn't even work properly !!  It creaks and moans like it's going to die if you crank that handle one more time.  Even the darn dog favors the right hand side !!

OK- so this is a start

Where to begin.....this is for all the women out there who live their lives day to day, wishing they could do something "useful", "beneficial", "feel important", and " make a difference"-whether it be in their own lives or the life of someone else.  Heck-- this could apply to men too- but since I am a woman- I figured women would be the ones to read it most.

I am mainly doing this for my kids.....  my life's journey so to speak- so one day when I'm "gone"  -- yes - I know--  a little morbid- but hey- it's gonna happen-- they can one day read these posts, laugh at my stupidity, be sad at my hardships, rejoice in my triumphs, and most of all know that they are the most important people in my life ( aside from my husband- who by the way can be a royal pain in the butt sometimes- but hey-- he's mine and all's good :) ) and that I love them more than I love myself.

Now, I know what you're probably thinking ...  ah good gosh-- yet another blog of just an everyday housewife who has nothing better to..... yeah- well , that may be the case and you're free to leave without me ever knowing that anyone has read this at all- but eventually I hope that whoever is reading will find my life humorous and entertaining- take what I have learned and experienced and use it to help them with their own "miserable housewife lives".  Let me make this perfctly clear- my life is by far miserable or boring... can it be dull and dreary sometimes?  Absolutely-- so can yours, my neighbors,  blah blah blah-- let me also say this- you all have heard the phrase "the grass is always greener?"  right?-- SOOO  not the case -

And yes-- from here on out- my posts may be random and off the wall and jump from topic to topic-- but that's how my mind works--that's my basic day-- topics jumping from one to the other with no rhyme or reason-- so try to keep up :)

More later-- my 5 year old son is now attempting to destroy my other two teenagers double solitaire game- I know  really important right?
