out of order

My camera broke again, and I feel like I'm out of order to the blogging world. I don't even have access to my pictures I've taken to upload them.
So now I'm enjoying all of your blogs while mine sits lonely and abandoned for the time being. Hopefully we'll get it back soon, they said it could take up to 6 weeks. I'm glad I bought the extended warranty. It has sure paid off.

Here she is, Miss America

Well, she may not be Miss America, but Miss California has got some guts!

Enough from me, let's hear from you.

Ramble

I know that life will never really slow down, (at least for many, many, many more years), but it seems as if things are out of control lately. I finish one major commitments, and bounce right to the next one. Then throw car trouble in on top of it, and a beautiful little girl who needs to get her mischievous side out of her and it gets a little crazy.
I lost the cord to attached my camera to download my pictures to the computer. I'm sure I will find it soon, and then I will be able to post some events from our last couple of weeks.
But I sure am thankful for the 2 days of beautiful weather we've had, and am looking forward to some more.
Ramble.
So anyway, I'm off to run and try and clear my head.

Now as I go back and read this I'm not really sure why I would post it because it's a jumbled mess. Maybe it's so that when I look back on this I can remember how life just felt topsy turvy at this point. I know we all have our times like that. This is one of those for me.

Bunk Beds

How many of you out there have bunk beds for your kids? They are great! You've got 2 beds, (3 if you're Sarah) and they save so much space in the kid's room. I love them...all except for when it's time to make them.
Can there be a more difficult task? I pull the mattress off and put the mattress pad and fitted sheet on, then put it back on the bed to put the sheets and blankets on. How do you tuck the sheets in, and keep them tidy so they don't hang onto the lower bed? And then ouch, trying to shove the sheets and blankets through that tiny little crack in the first place. As you can tell, I just recently put Luke's bunk beds back together, and made it all neat and tidy. And then what did I find after he crawled on up there to sleep? He pulled all the sheets out of the end that I considered the foot of the bed to become the head of his bed. I just about cried. Oh well, he slept well.
Surely one of us should become rich making an easier way to make a bunk bed.
