Full Moonssssssss


The full moon occurs once every 29.5 days.


I love how smart people throw that .5 days in there.  Really?


Full moon.


My children act crazy.


I act crazy.


My refrigerator has aliens inside of it.


The Lafone home and full moons do not mix.


Lucky for us, there are TWO full moons in the month of August.


We just had one on Thursday (August 2nd).


The next one will be August 31st.


Fabulous.


Great.


After a little research, I found out that it is very rare and very unique to have two full months in the same month.  On average, it happens about every 2 and a half years.


The second moon is coined the Blue Moon.


Hence the saying, "once in a blue moon".  Meaning something happens rarely.


While all of this is fun and cool, I am not looking forward to TWO full moons.


God be with us.

Brain Potpourri

- It's a lazy day at home.  The girls are watching The Parent Trap for the 800th time.  I have been getting my reader back down to a decent number that doesn't scare me when I open it.  I've also been leaving lots of bloggy love.

- I am patiently waiting for the Sears man to come fix our washing machine.  He will totally wait until the last minute, I am sure.  He said he would be here before 5pm.  It is 2 and we haven't seen or heard from him.  I have money on the fact he will be here at 4:30.

- I am trying to decide what kind of meat to cook for dinner tonight.  I know we will be having fresh corn, squash, and spinach.  What is a fabulous meat to fix?

- Have I told you that Bug eats her hair?  I am talking, every second of every day she has a strand of hair in her mouth.  We told her she was going to get worms because of it.  That did nothing.  I told her I was going to chop her hair off.  That did nothing.  What am I going to do?

- Lately, both girls have been coming in our bed in the middle of the night.  A king is just not big enough for all those bodies.

- Have I mentioned how ready I am to be able to wash my clothes in my washing machine?

- I am driving another mini van until my Jeep gets fixed.  It is better than the first one.  I just can't like a van.  I am a station wagon mom all the way.  I am still holding out hope that I will one day be the proud owner of one.

- If I had a whole day to myself, do you know what I would do?  I would just stay in my bathroom.  I would tee-tee in peace and quite, I would lay in the bath all day.  I would just enjoy my bathroom.

- Speaking of vacations, if I win the lottery I am going to spend a week in Little Palm Island.  I first saw it in the July 2012 Southern Living.  Ah-mazing!  No one under 16 is allowed on the island of only 30 bungalows.  Sounds like heaven!  It is a little on the pricey side... hence I have to first win the lottery.  Go ahead... price a little stay.  It is nice that the travel isn't bad.  It is only 28 miles from Key West and 130 miles from Miami.


- This full moon has made my children crazy.  It has made me pretty craycray too.  I am nervous as a cat and jumping out of my skin today.

- What is everyone doing for the 4th?  I can't remember the last time we were at home on the 4th.  We are usually at the beach.  Ryan's job put a damper on that this year.  Oh well.  We will just have to make different plans this year.  The girls are excited.  They can't wait to have Daddy at home on a weekday!

- Today is July 3rd.  I woke up this morning singing, "born on the 3rd of Julyyyyy..."  I even posted a status about my favorite movie of all time...



Do you know what movie Jack Latcherie Jr. is from?

- Ok, I'm going to round up my children.  We are going to have a campout on the couch and watch Princess and the Frog.  Pray that the Sears man comes soon.  I don't know how much longer we can stay in this house.  We are all losing our minds!

*** EDITED TO ADD: He showed up at 4:40pm.  Ha
