Grrr, why is it...

Why is it that my brain doesn't want to "shut down" when I lay in bed?

I have been taking benadryl, to trick my brain into thinking it's time for it to shut down, since I moved to Littleton.

I didn't have such problems before! Well... Ok. I did. But not nearly as often or as annoying.

Tonight I got cozy in bed... and then remembered, "Darnit, I forgot my benadryl. Ahh, it will be ok. I am tired."

Ha! But no, my brain ran through today's activities and tomorrows adventures. And then I wondered why I blogged about Football instead of everything else that filled my day.

Then the more I wondered about it, the more I was awake. And then the more I wished I had taken my benedryl.

So in an effort to clear my head... and let the benedryl kick in from this point... here is my day:

This morning we visited a different Adult Bible Class at church... as it was put to me, we were stolen away from our first one and into this one. I feel bad that we left the other one, but this new one is more people our ages and full of homeschoolers. So I think it was a good move. Now to break it to the other class... that is actually bothering me. Because while we haven't really made any relationships there, I am a Golden Retriever who is loyal and this doesn't feel like loyalty! Instead it feels like betrayal. The gals who stole me away told me they will understand and get over it. Yah, I am sure they will. But in the meantime what about me?!?! LOL I just have to email them I suppose.

Service was great. Another great sermon by our pastor. Then after the sermon I was invited to be part of the Women's Ministries Leadership Team for the WOW Retreat down in Glen Eyrie! Woo hooo! So we met after church and I got the opportunity to get to know some ladies who I will be serving with during our retreat and further. It was a blessing to me.

Then I came home and readied myself for some great football! See the post below... Both teams I wanted to win, did and I loved it!

Now sometime during the midst of one of the games, I believe it was the 2nd, Gabriel comes running down the stairs and says, "Toby just knocked my tooth out!" And he is holding a shinny white tooth in his hand.

My response, "How did he knock it out????!!"

His: "He just socked me right in the mouth and out it came."

And he says this with a huge smile on his face... Toby is standing next to him smiling.

Normally, a hit to the mouth deserves one to the butt... but I had to laugh because both boys are smiling.

Then Toby pipes in, Oh I should write a book about Toby, "Mommy, aren't you so proud of me? I knocked Gabrul's tooth right out!"

Jake and I laughed as he continued, "Aren't you so proud? I hit him right in the mouth and it popped right out."

Of course looking at the ECSTATIC Gabriel we knew it must have been in play not a fight but it was hilarious the way Toby was telling us to be "so proud" that he knocked his older brother's tooth out.

Ooooooh, one for the baby book.

Speaking of babies, Toby... My precious little man whom gives me a migraine every day but I wouldn't trade for the world... turns 5 on Tuesday.

Where has the time gone? Seriously. It's rather scary to think that we are moving that quickly through the time space continuum. I need to stick him in that portal for a while and then he will just stay 5 forever... then I won't get old. That would work right?

In any event... we attended that Build-a-bear birthday and he has not stopped talking about it SINCE! So upon doing the budget, we decided we could take the kids (just them three) to BABW for the boys birthday and follow it up with Pizza at Mr Chuckies Place (to which they have NEVER been but dang their commercials hook line a sinker). We will invite my sister to come along, but make clear that we dont have the money to finance her 3 to get Bears. But we can fork over for the pizza and tokens since we have coupons from Michelina's Home Cuisines from ages ago that expire soon!

Upon telling our dear kids that... they screamed, screech and flopped around for joy. All in turn.

So let's see... I covered ABC, the sermon, the meeting for the retreat (did I mention I get to meet Maggie B????, the game, the lost tooth... what have I missed?

I know there is something. Though I can feel the benadryl taking effect now. My brain is a little fuzzier and life seems a little easier to sleep away from.

Oh on the dog topic... Wedo, Quido, Doreeto, Burritto... whatever the dog's name is... is still doing good. He still lets everyone love him and adore on him

The other one... still not so much. And I caught him peeing someplace he wasn't suppose to be peeing. AND I found a present where he was roaming freely while the other was in my lap. So, we are thinking rather then deal with this dogs issues... we will actively find him a new home. Not Wedo... or whoever... the other one that still snaps at everyone. In the long run, I think he will be happier WITHOUT children around. And maybe a single adult who can give him the time he deserves. He loves me... and is a good dog for me... and only me. But when he gets pissed off... he is not nice and I actually wonder and fear if he is going to take a finger from a kid one of these times.

The guy who gave us the dogs said not to split them up. But neither dog seems to really care when the other one isnt around.

So pray for a good home for Tiko, teeko, chico, taco... whoever. He deserves one. And if we can't find him a home. I might call a chihuahua rescue. Cuzz I really think he was abused at this other home... he might need some rehab other then me!

Anyhow, now I am just rambling getting my allotted amount of words I needed to get out for the day. You know this counts right? Of course it counts. Just because my voice isn't audibly resounding it, doesn't mean it's not being heard. So, it counts.

Eesh, there I go rambling again. Fuzzy head, on soft and cozy pillow... coming right up!

(edited to add so I dont forget: I have a missions opportunity for you praying Christians that I will share tomorrow... err today... well ... sometime soon! ;))
