In a different life I was completely, anally, retentively organized! Everything was color coded and clean and if you asked me for something I could put my finger on it in a second. These days...NOT.SO.MUCH!
I threaten to get organized everyday. I say I will make everything better. Do you think I have even started? Um. NO! I can shop for organizational supplies, I can plan for organizational weekends, I have a list of things to do that is 15 pages long (and that is just for the house!) I still make no progress!
I think I need the five guys to get the band back together and come help me. You know the ones...The Fab Five from Queer Eye. I know I don't qualify because I am a girl but I think they are the only ones who could help me.
Here is how I think the conversation would go upon their arrival...
Carson: Um Tahoe Girl, you know faded jeans have been out for like years now? And you seem to have an aversion to accessories....are those your only earrings? Oh my, is that a Twilight T-Shirt?
Ted: You feed how many Tahoes in here everyday? I mean I guess anyone can survive on frozen waffles and spaghetti but some want variety. Also, did you know spices and things expire? Honey is not supposed to be solid..
Thom: Ok, the color scheme is good and I love the collages with your family photots (Thanks Lawyers Wife) but let's talk about this sofa. I know leather needs to breathe but 30 stab wounds? And there are enough fruit loops in here to feed a small country!
Jai: I like your choices in books, they seem to be very diverse so let's check your music...Wow! This is gonna need some work...All I could find is Poisons Greatest Hits and Celine Dion..
Kyan: I need your stylists number! Your hair rocks! (Thanks Hair Girl)There is nothing more I can do for you, your fabulous!
Then like magic, my whole world would be transformed by Five Fabulous Guys and I would live happily ever organized, accessoried, after!
I know, I know but a girl can dream!

So I am putting it out there Fab Five, come rescue me!

FYI...
Thanks to Google Analytics I now know the most popular search words that bring people to my blog. And now that I know this I am passing this tidbit on to you so you don't make the same mistake I did...
The most popular word that brings people to my blog is...(insert drumroll here)
HERPES!
Great, this is just lovely! I blog about this one time and it will stay with me forever! So don't make the same mistake I did, never, ever, blog about herpes in any fashion cause it turns out lots of people google "herpes".

Fishies in Heaven
This past weekend Titan Boy noticed our fish was floating. It was about time as Mini#1 received him for his birthday in 2007. But as usual, we went on about our day and forgot about floating fishie....
Fast forward three days....
I get a text from FabNanny "Did you know the fish is dead?"
UHOH, now that means the kids know. CRAP! I know death is normal and all that but its easier to explain when they are not watching him bob up and down in the aquarium.
I immediately text Titan Boy "Kids know fish is dead. Must deal with NOW!"
So when he gets home from work he gets Mini#1 and they go in the bathroom for the ceremony. At this point he doesn't seem phased by the fish dying so I think this chapter is over. UM. NO.
Mini#1 and I sit down to do his homework. Fractions. He has to draw pictures of whatever the word is and then color part and write what fraction that is. No big deal right? WRONG! First thing to draw. FISH! He immediately bursts into tears! "I Miss My Fish" I of course start laughing! I know that is wrong but I couldn't help it! I mean seriously he hasn't even done anything for that damn fish since he got him!

3 at 3
Ok I'm going to lose it one of these days! Having three kids in three schools is going to push me over the edge. Here's my life every morning...and keep in mind I am not a morning person at all! Never have been, never will be...
6:15am first alarm goes off for Mini#1 (I groan)
Titan Boy gets up and gets him started
6:30am Titan boy gets in shower (where he stays for atleast twenty minutes)
7:05am Mini#1's Bus comes (He's normally running to catch it)
7:10am I get Mini#2 up or attempt to which is normally followed by tears
7:20am Try to get Mini#2 downstairs to start eating or whatever (still crying)
Run back up stairs to get Mini #3 up so he can ride with me to take her
7:35am Finally convinced Mini#3 to let me put him down and Mini#2 has normally stopped crying by now, I run up stairs to throw on the closest thing (the parents at her school must think I am the most unattractive human on the planet)
7:40am If we don't leave right now she will be late to school but this is normally the point where she can't find one shoe or her backpack or her clothes itch. UGH!!!
7:59am Finally get Mini#2 to school where she turns into the happiest child ever! (OF course her teachers think she is an angel!)
8:10am Back home and running for the shower. Throw Mini3# in his clothes and put him in front of TV
8:20am Out of shower and digging through laundry baskets trying to find something to wear (more on my fashion issues later)
8:30am Move Mini#3 to downstairs TV so I can dry hair and find my shoes (many days I leave in my slippers)
8:40am til 8:50am Try to convince Mini#3 it's cold so he has to wear a jacket, put dogs away, try and make kitchen look like a bomb DID NOT go off in it! Get in car hopefully with Mini#3 and his backpack with diapers in it
9:15am Mini#3's carpool (normally last)
No wonder I am so tired everyday! It takes 3 HOURS to get 3 Kids to school! No wonder I am such a mess. Please add your two cents on anything that could help with this madness! (Just remember I am not a morning person!)

OK OK OK Already!
I know I am way behind in posting. I am sure 4000 funny and amusing things have happened to me since I last posted but for the life of me I cannot remember any. I have been burying myself in work (maybe that's cause I sent most of my people on "vacation" till this economy turns around)and there is nothing funny there. I have a list of things to do 4000 pages long and don't even know where to begin.
SO help me get out of my slump...tell me something to make me laugh or even just crack a smile! I need some sunshine to brighten my gray winter days and I am sure you have something you can share!!!!
Please!!!!
Tahoe Girl
Oh, I remember something....the other night while I was arguing with Mini #1 he called his sister a "jerk" for something she did (or said or lip synced) and the next thing you know Mini#3 runs up to him and punches him and the back and says "No, you da JEWRK". Then he runs down the hall laughing in his rocket ship zip up fleece jammies. Ahh, its so much fun to have little critters running around your house!

Just Cute...
So Titan Boy made me drag mini #3 shopping with me yesterday. He is now at the age where he will not ride in a stroller and loves to climb under clothing racks but whatever he's really cute so he can get away with it.
Anyway, we went to Sears to hit the Lands End Sales and while there he grabbed one of their GIANT rubber duckies to drag around with him. This thing is huge, like the size of a small dog or something and costs $20. Of course he begs me to buy it and I say "no" cause I am mean like that plus Christmas is coming , etc. etc.
Well, right in front of the checkout is this poster of Santa announcing when he is coming to Sears. Well, Mini #3 walks right up to the picture and says....
"santa cwaws, duckie duckie, pweez pweez pweez"
So guess what came home wrapped in tissue stapled into a bag so no one could see it?
Welcome Home Giant Sailor Duckie, Welcome Home!

Ok I fell off the deep end...
into the abyss of retail at Christmas! Ugh there are just not enough hours in the day anymore.
Since I last posted I have...worked WAY TOO Much, Read all four books in the Twilight series, seen the movie twice and watched my favorite football team from the sidelines of last weeks game!
No I cannot complain, life is good....just going by way too quickly!
Have lots of stories and adventures to catch you up on but I have to go finish (start) my December marketing calendar (I know it's the 10th already!)
