Anti-Blog Movement, Statement #1

This is a new chapter in the anti-blog movement started by me, Katie (a lover of blogs) on behalf of my dear sister Kelly. I will be highlighting every so often reasons why blogs can be annoying. And I am in no way ashamed to use my own blog to explain the views held by members of the anti-blog movement. Today's topic is:

Husbands Getting all the Praise


Now the issue here might be that the wives are the ones writing the blogs, so of course they are not going to praise themselves (but maybe we should, hmmm . . . ) Also, maybe wives are trying to engender good feelings from their husbands to lure the men to purchase a certain piece of jewelry or other type of treat (hint, hint). Whatever it may be, in the blogging world - husbands are getting some serious credit.

It may be deserved sometimes, but what about the wives! The husband takes on one night with the baby and it's like "Stop the Presses!!" Let me ask you a question, who gets up with the baby EVERY OTHER NIGHT?

That's right, the wife. So here's to you - wives of the world! Thank you so much (on behalf of your husbands and children) for waking up with the baby most nights (and sometimes every night). Here's to you for scrubbing you know what out of onesies! For watching Disney Movies time after time after time. For cooking dinner. For cleaning. For driving the children everywhere. For forgoing showers because you have mischievous toddlers (who might destroy the house in those precious five minutes). For everything.

THANKS!!!!

Time Out


When I can't take the kids any longer, I send the husband off with them to the wilderness. This weekend Brent took both Jared and Khloe to Zion's National Park. And I sent myself to get a massage, enjoy a quiet dinner, and slept all night several nights in a row with no interruptions. Oh joy!

Run Away


Do you ever wish you could run away? I do. Sometimes I tell Khloe I might run away. Since running away isn't really an option, I am grateful to my Mom. She took Khloe out on a date to see Horton Hears a Who just last week. Khloe insisted on Mama matching her outfit, so here they are pictured in pink and brown.
