4 am ramblings

It's 4am and i can't sleep. i fell asleep on the couch after Brian had tried to convince me to come to bed earlier in the evening. i explained that i wasn't tired and wanted to watch tv. well i shortly fell asleep on the couch forgetting i had stayed up bc i wanted to read the next chapter in Ree Drummonds book "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels". her blog is on my blog roll - "confessions of a pioneer woman". It is the best blog!!! she has everything from cooking to photography to book writing to everyday life on a ranch in rural america. i try to read it weekly. she's got me hooked right now on whats going to happen next in her retelling of her and Marlboro Man's love saga. love it! anywoo, i woke up around 245am ish got in bed but kept hearing sounds...tossing and turning...then i finally gave up sleep around 330ish got outta bed, turned the boob tube on, logged on the the internet and here i am.

i was thinking back to why i quit posting a few weeks ago. i go thru bouts (sp?) of "there's nothing going on in my life so why blog". and in reallity we are so stinkin busy in the evenings that ryder man and i just hang out at home during the day. mattie rides the bus to and from school so i really don't have a need to get out of the house. we are saving up for christmas, annual ski trip, and plane tickets to get us from lousyana to florida later in january to get on a christian cruise boat w/ brock and auny - free by the way!!!! so i have no need to go about town. and yeah we waited till october to start saving. one word...STUUUUUUUpid. we have 3 deer at Dowlings Deer Processing...2 were given to us and 1 Brian killed on Friday. needless to say we are stocked up on venison for a while. we love deer meat. so that little bill is gonna cost over $200 which i wasn't expecting but it'll be worth it in the end.

well, im not tired but i know i'll regret all this when the sun rises....i'll have more to share later...
