The GOOD:- For once I got the garbage can out to the curb BEFORE the garbage truck came by this morning...and I wasn't running...or barefoot...or bra-less.
- Someone returned my garbage can back to it's spot before I did. I think it was Bro. Zobell. Thanks, man.
- I paid less than 2 bucks a gallon for gas today for the first time in ages. Hooray!!
- The sun was shining and it was warm - not Arizona-in-November-warm, but warm nonetheless.
- Cade's having a great time in Ireland - other than the fact that his lovely wife is not there to accompany him, of course. He sent us an e-mail with lots of cool pictures which we poured over for Family Home Evening (Thanks babe, for getting me out of planning a lesson!)
- I got a good chuckle out of Adam and Jason's keyboarding "practice" earlier tonight. I felt compelled to copy and paste what they typed: JASON POOPOLAST NIGHT I POOPED IN MY PANTS. Aren't boys the best!
- I ate about 15 pumpkin chocolate chip cookies today. Mmmm.
The BAD:- I have this tooth that is seriously KILLING me. It's been bothering me off and one for a while but today the pain is definitely "on". It's been incessant and throbbing all day except for the 2 or so hours of relief that my 3 Tylenol/2 Motrin cocktail provided. I need to have another root canal done on this poor bugger, but I'm trying to wait until January so insurance will cover it. Think I'll make it?
- My hair. I hate it. Today especially.
- Cade's in Ireland. The ratio of adults to children here is 5:1. I'm the lucky "1".
- I'm out of whole milk for Rachel. Sorry squirt...today it's 1% or bust!
- Have I mentioned that my tooth hurts?
- I ate about 15 pumpkin chocolate chip cookies today. Oh dear....
The UGLY:- Rachel has "blown out" of every diaper I have put her in today. That's a less-gross way of saying "diarrhea." I can dress her up, but I can definitely NOT take her out.
- Tyler has "refunded" every meal he's eaten today. That's a less-gross way of saying "barf". At one point this was only classified as "bad". It got "ugly" when I came downstairs and discovered Tyler's puddles-O'-vomit (that's for you in Ireland, Cade) trailing from the family room to the bathroom (he never actually made it INTO the bathroom), one of which I stepped in. Jessica, we could've used your Barf Training Video at Family Home Evening tonight. Maybe Tyler would have made it to the bathroom sooner and I wouldn't have cursed. On the bright side, after using a gallon of Pine-Sol, my kitchen tile is cleaner than it's ever been!
- I feel like Tom Hanks on Castaway, tortured by tooth pain so severe he takes matters into his own hands. If I run out of Tylenol/Motrin, so help me...
- I ate about 15 pumpkin chocolate chip cookies today. YIKES!!
Tomorrow's Forecast? More good, less bad and
hopefully NO more ugly...at least until Cade gets back.

I usually miss the recycle guy, but a few weeks ago I heard him during prayer, so of course I was waiting patiently for the prayer to end before jumping to my feet with Rigdon on my hip to run at full speed out the front door to get the can. Fortunately the driver saw me and was kind enough to wait, while laughing. Angela was doing the same run that morning. I wonder if this is a common scene for the garbage man?
man stacy. The good, the bad & the ugly happens to you too. I hope your days will be filled with more good today. I love pumpkin cookies they are sooo addicting! take care :)
Another entertaining and cute post, Stacy! Don't ya just love sick kids. I had no idea BK that barf could come in so many sizes, consistencies and colors. But I won't try to top your 5:1 ratio. That just plain stinks! wow Hope tomorrow and the next day are filled with more good than bad or ugly.
You were hilarious today! And why is Cade in Ireland? Did I miss something? And I had your blog pulled up this morning, in preparation to comment, and we just let your playlist play in our kitchen all morning and it was so fun to listen. Totally brightened our morning!
I love to read your blog! You are so darn cute!

I must agree with Aunt Karen...you ARE so darn cute! I miss you!

I know I am like lots of days late. I have tried to call you, though. Now I can understand why calls are not returned.
Anyway, TOO bad I am not there (or you are not here) to help you.
TOO bad you can't join the rest of the gang and come down for Thanksgiving...or can you?
You make your life sound so funny and exciting. Want to start writing about mine? Maybe I would have a new perspective with you as the author. :) I'm just wondering where my pumpkin cookies are? Also, do those numb tooth pain?
Hi Stac! I miss you tons!! I was just thinking about when you surprised me at the hospital, it's been too long. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, and if you get too cold, you know where it's warm...come on down!
Much love,
Sarah
What's with your mouth pain? Have you gotten that tooth fixed? I am so sorry. We are having the annual breakfast this weekend. We will miss you and Cade. Happy Birthday in a couple of days!!
Those pics are awesome Stace! Sooo fun. You look smokin.
