What was I thinking?

Okay. You all win. And no, I don't have 4 scrap pages to post here for you all to look at. I'm thinking there must have been an imposter Nitty.Gritty. Jody who left yesterday's post- it didn't sound like me- I never put deadlines on myself if I don't have to! It would just make me procrastinate and we all know I don't need that in my life.
How kind of more than 20 of you to leave me such nice comments and threats too! I expected to finally see some notes from my family and close friends who read this {which is one of the main reasons I got into this whole thing in the first place- to keep them updated on my monotonous homelife}, and instead all you other wonderful, interesting people encouraged me instead. In addition, one of you tagged me via email and that was just a sneaky trick to get me to come back here and blog. I guess it worked- and I will probably play the tag game in another day or two. I'm sure you're all just dying to find out what kind of food I have in my fridge midweek!
I do have some funny quotes and happenings from my kids this week- for my family when they do come by and read this. First, Brock lost his one of his top front teeth yesterday. He was hoping for $22 dollars from the tooth fairy and instead got only $5. I still thinkit's cool to know that $5 bucks is all I have to pay to sustain the innocence and dreams of my oldest child in my house. That was probably the best five dollars I've spent since buying scrap embellishments in Alabama!
Next, instead of saying "she's scared" or "come and lay by me" or any other bedtime excuse kids come up with, Isabella's latest line is, "I can't do this." It's so funny but at the same time I am asking Chip, "What does she mean 'I can't do this'?...what kid can't go to sleep?" That's my Bella. Then there's my ever-progressing, Wyndham. She's been doing so great at rehab and in preschool. Today when I went to pick her up at school- with Bella and Ava in tow as well, she took off "running" the other direction and laughing the whole way. She was halfway down one hallway, Ava was dripping at a drinking fountain, and Bella was laying in the middle of the rotunda trying to make snowangels on the carpet. I know all the other parents are thinking I am the most incapable person in the whole school. Oh well- somebody has to be that person! So, I managed to get Wyndham to come back and she followed me over to Bella, Ava came running- trying to whiz past me and the next thing I know, all three of my girls are in the middle of the rotunda making imaginary snowangels on the floor. If only I had brought my camera- it would have been a perfect Kodak moment. Not of the girls on the floor- but of the look on my face. The one where I'm so glad that the VH-1 Pop-up video text bubble doesn't actually hang above my head sharing my thoughts with the world. Incidentally, I do that all the time. I imagine what other people are thinking or saying in certain situations. Fun. Good fun. If you don't already do this, try it sometime. It will make you laugh- especially at McDonald's drive-thru. Or in line at the grocery store. Or even at a gas station when you see someone get into their car wearing skin-tight hot pink stretchy pants, when it shouldn't even be legal for this person to own stretch pants.
I'm sorry. Looks like the real me is back. I just wanted to make sure. So, thanks for all those comments. I made spaghetti pie for dinner tonight and the kids actually all ate fairly well. So, if you want me to post a picture and recipe- like more than 2 of you, let me know and I'll get right on that. And before I go, just wanted to add that it gives me great pleasure to make so many of you happy inside knowing that I'm not going away anytime soon. It was nice almost being missed by so many of you. =)
