too much work

Okay really I haven't been working too much.  A lot. But not too much. I've actually had a few days off lately which is so wonderful.

Yesterday morning Jory woke up early to go wake boarding with one of his friends- and if you don't know me and my sleeping habits... when i'm sleeping. I'm sleeping. and I'll try to get up.. but it just takes me awhile. I'll be disoriented and not understand whats going on for maybe 3 minutes and then I'll be fine. 

Jory likes to ask me questions when I'm in this volunerable state and I answer with things like "3 hot dogs" -  "how many calories??" and "150 dollars". When of course those answers never apply to the question.

So... back to Jory waking up early, exhausted, like a good wife I was trying to make sure he didn't forget anything important, and it made perfect sense to tell him..

"don't forget your insurance card!!"

So, yeah, maybe that does mean i'm working too much.

We got to go to Bear Lake with Jory's family this weekend!

The trip consisted of... driving, pretty Idaho fields, four wheeling, chatty children, floating on the lake and thinking that you could probably die floating on that lake and be okay... Getting up close and personal with cows and smashing over there pies and it splattering all over your tires. 

Raspberry shakes that were way too big and yes we waited in line for over a half hour for them. 

It had me laying in the back seat- wait, it wasn't a seat, the back area of your car, you know. Where you put your luggage and stuff? Yes. I laid there. In my wet swim suit on top of towels and tubes. But I had a bag of cheetos with me, just me in the back, so it wasn't too bad. Not really going to think about that image though for too long. Ha! 

It was super fun and made me and Jory think about moving to Montpieler for a minute. Never thought I'd ever say that! 

Any way. We did really well on packing for this trip. Almost remembered everything that we needed, you know how that never happens. So, what we DID forget, was my contact solution- case, glasses, everything. 

Which, guilty. Yes, I am one of those who forgets to take out there contacts when she sleeps. I'll just admit it. So I wasn't too worried about it. 

Until Saturday morning when my contacts felt like they were vacuumed to my eyebawls. Groggily, I rolled out of bed and went to a  bathroom in the house where I remembered seeing someones contact solution and contacts.

So, rationally thinking of course, I decided to steal a drop of contact solution so I could get some sort of moisture to my withering away eyes. 

The smart thing to do would probably have been to ask if I could borrow that solution, maybe ask if it was contact solution? But. No, I just squirted that bottle with the RED cap in my eye... (finding out later that red means DO NOT PUT IN EYES). 

Before I knew it. Completely freaking out, I was splashing water into my eye as fast I could because- an intense burning pain consumed my eye and that left quarter of my face. My eye was instantly cherry red. And I was left thinking what. an. idiot. I was. With tears streaming down my face I scrambled to read what the crap I had just put in my eye... 

hydrogen peroxide cleaner. 

perfect. 

So for that first couple minutes I was thinking, okay, we're going to have to take me to emergency room because I'll be blind from using cleaner in my eye, when I could have just read that stupid bottle, asked Jorys sister if I could have borrowed some eye drops?

I didn't tell anyone for a day I was too embarrassed.

Oh.. I guess I learned from that experience. : )

boys boys boys

Just kidding. My title was supposed to be toys toys toys. But boys sounded good. I love boys! I hope I have lots and lots of baby boys. ANYway.

Jory had an idea and decided if he was a good boy and saved his pennies from window washing he'd buy himself a four wheeler. (since the day I knew Jor- if he was surfing the web, he wasn't on facebook. He's on ksl, looking at boats, four wheelers and trucks.  Never with the intention of actually purchasing {thank goodness} but it's "out" or something and he loves it.) 

That being said... don't worry we have helmets. Come four wheeling with us!

Why go with bareminerals when you have foundation from the earth...

SO DIRTY!

the cast

the reel?

Sometimes I get so focused on the terrible awful things that happen around us that I seem to go through life not recognizing all the great things. There's nothing personally really terrible awful in my life at all right now-my life is pretty perfect honestly. It's just all the sad things you hear about, those things on the news that make your heart twist and turn and feel like crying for those poor people. (yes, I am always an emotional mess)

It's been on my mind a lot and for moments when I think about it, it brings me down, makes me paus sulk a little in the sadness for these people.

 But something neat has happened lately, with almost every terrible thing I hear about, something sweet and powerful and good comes from it. 

I truly believe everything happens for a reason, and I like seeing these hints of comfort in these situations. I'm left overwhelmed sometimes at how life is so good to us. Most of the time you over look though it- I feel like I do.

Speaking of over looking things... Me and Jor are avid netflix and hulu participators. If it's 9:30 pm and you're wondering what we're doing?  Most likely we're smushed on the couch, gummy bears and ice water in hands while BOTH and I mean both, of us have tears streaming down our faces while watching the biggest loser. Seriously? Seriously. Guilty pleasures. 

Any way- the other night, it was just us, and we decided to forgo the traditional ep and gummies. We ate dinner in the grass outside next to our baby buns, played cards all night refusing to go to bed if one of us was the loser- because we were both planning on dominating the other. What I'm trying to say is that this night was so much more memorable than any other netflix night... We had so much fun, laughed and really loved being together. Little things like that make me realize how much time I waste focused on things that don't really do anything for me and make me over look some really, really good stuff.

So that was blab for the day- : )
