I claim temporary insanity

Hello to all out there in bloggyland!  Yesterday's post was quite the downer, and again, I apologize.  So, here I am, I'm gonna try and make up for it with this one.  Just so you know, I claim temporary insanity for the last post.  Truly, I blame the medicine.  I've always been one whose mood easily sways based on events or others' emotions, but when I add extra hormones...well, I produce depressing posts.  Sorry.  Anyway, here's to a more cheery post!

First, let me start by saying that the mommy of one of my daycare boys just had another baby this morning.  A 10 pound 1 ounce baby.  I'm so excited for them.  Their other son brings so much joy to me and Luke, and I can't wait to start watching baby Cooper in 8 weeks!  I can't imagine what it's like to have a 10 pound baby.  In my mind, I compare it to passing a kids bowling ball, but Google had other opinions.  Google said that it's compared to the following...

 

 

 

 

A sack of potatoes...Okay, we all know what that feels like.  That's imaginable, really.

An Easter Ham?  Uh, not so imaginable for this girl!  I mean, sure--it weighs 10 lbs, but could you imagine passing an Easter ham like this one?  Yeah, not this girl, but at least it's realistic I suppose....

Two chihuahuas?!?!?!  REALLY, GOOGLE!?!?  I think I'm quite creative, but this tops it all.  I would NEVER have thought passing a 10 lb baby would be the same as passing 2 chihuahuas...not by any stretch of my imagination!

If you remember last week I wrote a post dedicated to my new love interest, Pintrest.  Well, I've been fiddling with Pintrest again, and here's what I liked the most yesterday!

For those of you have not been on Pintrest yet, this is a perfect summary of what it is.  So, if you'd like to do any of those, you'll love Pintrest for sure! 

I am a HUGE fan of music.  Always have been, always will be.  This person took sheet music and made flowers out of it and turned it into her bouquet for her wedding.  Now, this is a perfect example of why I love Pintrest because had I thought of it, I totally would do this! 

*ahem* Now, these ladies have no shame.  I love a good scarf just as much as the next gal, but this is a little too much...*shudders*

I'm always looking for new blogs to read, and sometimes I feel like a stalker, but then I remind myself that I am NOT a stalker, but instead I am an "Intense Researcher" :)

Uh, can you say....AWWW!!  I. Want. One.  A miniature one, in fact.  You know, the kind that I can stick in my pocket and let it poke its head out while we walk down the street.  If I had one, everyone would be jealous.  No doubt!

This is a hidden wine cellar.  Wow.  I want one of these, too, but I would fill it with endless bottles of Mt. Dew and Cream Soda!

Can I get an amen?  Although, I'd have to add to this by saying that this picture goes for McDonald's sweet tea, too!

Lastly, this one....

Oh, Pintrest!

I've recently been obsessed with Pintrest.  There are SO many things on that website to keep my mind occupied for hours!  While the kids are napping, I've taken the time to indulge myself in the world of Pintrest, and here's what I've gotten out of it so far.

• This particular pin made me smile.  Why?  Because yesterday Luke and I went to get our hair cut.  "Okay...", you may say.  No, not okay.  The lady seemed nice at first.  She was very easy to talk to.  We were chatting up a storm, and then she asks me if I have kids.  BAM!  Slap in the face of this infertile #1.  I politely say, "no, we don't have any children, but we want them."  A few minutes pass and she asks what I do for a living, and I gladly tell her that I run an in-home daycare.  She then asks about how many children I take care of, and I tell her, and she seemed shocked.  She then said, "I could never watch that many children at one time, I guess it's a good thing that you don't have any children of your own.  That's gotta be the best birth control ever!"  Cue this picture....!

 

 

•  All I've gotta say is.... ONE DAY!!!

 

• The next two pictures will melt your heart.  Seriously.  You're gonna say, "awwwwww..." Who wouldn't want one of both?!?!  Personally, If I had the penguin, I'd put him in my pocket and carry him around, and when I got sad I would just give him a big ole' squeeze and life would automatically be better!

Told ya, he's so stinking squeezable!

Oink!

• This one is genius.  Seriously.  Genius!  Whoever invented this deserves millions and millions of currency!  Honestly, I think it's genius for one (maybe two-- *wink*) reasons, but before I tell you why I think this person deserves millions, let me tell you what this picture represents.  This is a picture of a set of pillows that light up when the opposite person lays on their pillow.  Also, there is a band the two wear while they sleep, and it allows the other person to hear their heart beat.  Now tell me that isn't cool!?!  It's great for long distance relationships, but it's even better for marriage.  If you've got a snoring husband  spouse that is driving you insane and keeping you awake throughout the entire night, here's your solution!  Throw out your earplugs and get a set of these pillows, and then send him that person to a separate room for the night.  You can rest peacefully knowing that you'll be falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat rather than his their incessant snoring! *disclaimer--this was in no way directed towards any one specifically my husband or any party*

 

• I love being in the rain.  I love to watch the clouds roll across the sky, changing color, texture and depth.  Now, imagine yourself lying outside in a field, in the rain, watching storms pass with your love next to you...in THIS! *see below*

I, personally, would have put a big comfy bed in it with lots of fluffy pillows because I'm girlie like that!

•  I'm a sucker for love.  Love quotes. Love songs. Lovey-lovey-lovey-love!!!!!

Uhh...Lucky girl!  ...she gets Starbucks!

BLING!!!! Yes, please?!?!

The last one is my favorite!

• Lastly, I want one of these.  I want to make some, too.  I love this idea!
