Gone Mobile...
I am so high tech that I am updating my blog from my phone. How cool is that? I know. People have probably been doing this for years, but it's brand new for me! Maybe now I will be able to keep up with it better! Maybe.

Whisper Sunday
In case you haven't heard, my hubby Robert, has been transferred back to the night shift. He is a deputy with a local sheriff's office. When you work for the sheriff's office, like most other jobs I suppose, they can pretty much put you where they need you. So Robert is back on the night shift.
He used to work nights when he first started in the jail, 7 years ago. And then again, when he first went out to patrol, 5 years ago. I've gotten used to the almost-like-a-regular-job day shift he's had for the last few years. But nothing lasts forever, I suppose.
The children are certainly not used to this new schedule either. And I have never had to manage a sleeping husband and four children all in one house before. It's not really a job he can go to and do well on very little sleep. I want more than anything for him to be bringing his A game to a job where not only do you work at night, but you also carry a gun and wear body armour! So today, I had a great idea. Whisper Sunday.
It's just as simple as it sounds. Nobody speaks louder than a whisper. All day. And to make it more appealing to the children, the one who is the quietest all day gets to choose our movie for Sunday Night Movie Time tonight. This idea was brilliant, if I do say so myself. I am enjoying sitting on my couch, listening to the sounds of my fingers clicking away on the keyboard, the dishwasher washing dishes in the background, and... well, not much else. I think I will take this quiet time to read a few chapters in my book and maybe doze on the couch for a little while.
I hope your Sunday is as peaceful as ours, friends.

As Seen On TV
I was driving home tonight, thinking about how later we have to go grocery shopping in the rain and I invented a new product in my head. I imagine it being in one of those As Seen On TV infomercials. "Tired of bringing home soaking wet groceries from the store? Sometimes you just have to go to the store, even if it's raining outside. Introducing.... THE CARTBRELLA! Just snap the tripod style umbrella onto your shopping cart with ease and head to the car. Your shopping bags stay nice and dry all the way through the parking lot! When you're done loading your bags into the car, it snaps right off and folds down nice and slim. Never bring home soggy groceries again! Act now and you get not one, but TWO Cartbrellas for the low, low price of only $19.95! (Plus $7.95 shipping and handling.)" What do you think, friends? I'd buy a Cartbrella or two.
