Carly almost flew ...

So every night my husband and I fight over who has to turn off the light when we go to bed! It's a constant race to see who can make it to bed first. Of course ... being a woman who works in the cosmetic industry ... I have to cleanse, scrub, tone and protect the face every night. Most nights, I am the looser!

However, last night was the series premier of BONES! (love that show) We had to DVR it because we had so much going on. By the end of the show (almost midnight) I was nodding off and so was my darling Hubby! We both got up and he raced to the TV and shut everything off... the race is on!

He quickly walked to the door to lock it for the evening.

I slowly got up from the sofa.

He turned to me and said something ... for the life of me I could not remember what he said ...

I slowly came around the side of the sofa ...

And I'm off .... like a bat out of Hell ... I took off!!!!

But wait ... there is something in the way ... I didn't even see it ... what was it ... it was large ... and in my direct path to getting into bed early so I didn't have to turn off the lights!!!

As I start to run to the bedroom ... I tripped over the STOOL that my lovely toddler uses as a push cart around the house.

I saw my whole life flash before my eyes ... I was sure that my head was going to go thru the metal railing on our stairway! I could see it now ... in the headlines ...
"Mother of 3 gets head stuck in stair rails"

Can you see it?

Of course, I had to play it off like nothing happened. Ellen Degeners ... you are my life saver! I tried to play it off like I WANTED to sprint to the bedroom while flailing my arms in the air like a wild monkey! It didn't work. My husband almost peed his pants.

I flew down the hallway trying my hardest to be graceful as I hear my husband roar with laughter! Oh the humility ... it's just more amo for his stupid and retarded insults! BLAH...

I flew into bed and just laid there ... I couldn't stop it ... I tried my hardest to act like I was hurt! But then it happened ... I burst out into uncontrollable laughter!!! He comes stumbeling into the bedroom laughing so hard he could hardly stand up. His face was all contorted and red from laughing so hard ... I secretly prayed it would stay that way! ... It didn't!

We spent the next 30 min talking about the graceful trip I took down the hallway ... all because I wanted to get into bed and not have to shut off the lights!!!

But .... I still got into bed first!

True Biker Chick

I stopped by Farm Fresh on the way home, today. Of course, I was on my bike.  I've gotten pretty used to weird looks. A girl walking around with a helmet and an Icon chest protector ... most of the time, they are looking for whatever guy I MUST BE riding with. Standing in line with my shampoo and hairspray, I heard a lady behind me say, "What do you ride?" Now, people who don't ride will say, "What kind of bike do you have?" ... I've learned that other riders will ask "What do you ride?" I was tired, on my way home from a late day at work and hungry. I didn't have time for a chit chat about bikes. Not today. I didn't turn around all the way. I said over my shoulder "A Yamaha YZF 600r." The lady said "Oh, thats nice dear." Part of me was annoyed at her tone. Another part of me felt disappointed in myself. I would hate if someone ignored my grandmother like that. I swallowed my pride and turned around. She was...

Learning From Gabriel ...

I had rough morning with Gabriel. I let my 6yo get the better of me. I know he isn't a morning person, and neither am I. I went out of the routine this morning and let him watch cartoons BEFORE he was ready to go. (at the time it seemed like a good idea, don't judge). Time caught up to us and then it was a mad dash to get everything ready only to realize we were ahead of schedule. That just made me more upset ... that I was upset and I had no real reason to be. UGH. I left without hugging and kissing him goodbye. I made it to the highway before God told me I should call him and wish him a happy day. I called, apologized for fussing at him and I hoped he would have a great day. What he said next has been on my mind alllll morning. He said "We had a rough morning because you forgot to come into my room and pray with me last night. You have to remember to pray with me. When you pray with me, I have a good day the next day." I don't take Gabr...

Day 5

Day 5 has to be about my favorite memory. THIS IS SOOOOO HARD! I have such a wonderful and fullfilled life that for me to pick one wouldn't be very fair. I wanna say that my favorite memory has to be the day that D was born. I love my baby ... he is amazing and he saved my life. I've done everything I could to make him have a wonderful life (including marrying a white guy! LOL) ... He is my wonderful baby ... he has such a beautiful smile and he is the silliest of my children... He and I have been thru so much together! Even thru it all he loves me and I love him.
