Good Intentions

Posted by Beth , Monday, July 19, 2010 2:45 PM


I had good intentions of writing an awesome post tonight... I had great plans for it too! It was going to be hilarious. You would have loved it. However, I'm feeling a little sleepy! I'll write something even more hilarious tomorrow. Haha. See, I'm laughing already.





Its hard to type when you have a monster baby mauling your computer

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 11, 12, 13! That is what Tyler just shouted as I started this, I thought it was cute so figured I'd throw it in there.


My sincerest apologies for not writing another post yesterday! I'm sure a lot of people have hurt feelings. I was enjoying the company of some of my favorite people on this earth! (Besides the obvious, Jon & boys... those people would be Dickie, Ahginner, and Emerleee! If you don't know what that means, I guess you're just not meant to haha) We watched "You Don't Know Jack" with Mr. Pacino, and Susan Sarandon. I thought it was a pretty good movie, has anyone else seen it? Thoughts? I'd share my thoughts about Mr. Kevorkian with you, but I'm not sure they would all be well received. Let's start a debate. I love a good debate. You start, and I'll join. :)

Anyway, I cleaned my house today...with the help of my awesome husband. We took back control of this place. I'm pretty proud. I'm not a fan of clutter or junk... or chips and crackers ground into the carpet. I don't enjoy having chunks of things stuck to my feet whilst walking around. I enjoy a clean floor... I don't want to meet the person who doesn't...

Mason learned a new trick today. I'm real psyched for this one... he can climb up onto the couch. It's pretty amazing. Now I can't hide things in the couch anymore... things like remotes, cell phones, snacks that I don't want to share...Why do kids have to learn new things? Don't they realize what affect it has on other people? They should really try to be more considerate. :)
It is so funny though to watch them learn new things. Some of the stuff is just so amazing, like learning new words and learning to feed themselves, and then other things are just not quite as amazing... like when they learn to climb the gate that is supposed to keep them from going into the kitchen, scale the drawers so they can sit on the counter and get into all the cupboards, and they do this all while being completely naked. (Yes, think about that next time you eat at my house!!) Those moments of learning are not quite as precious. Those are the moments of learning that require clorox bleach...

I hope I don't bore anyone by talking about my kids. I know some people just can't relate to a life with children...but they are my life, so I guess it only makes sense that I would talk about them. Like right now, July 18th, and Tyler is decked out in Christmas pajamas. I guess he is buying into the whole Christmas in July phenomenon... I definitely think that gimmick has been played out. We need to give up on the whole concept. I tweeted about that they other day because it had really been griding my gears. And now I guess I just need to know, does anyone even buy into it? I know that I've never run out to a store because they were having killer Christmas in July sale. So I guess I say to the world of retail (or actually maybe just jewelers), give it up. And although I do not support Christmas in July sales, I do support a nice set of Christmas jammies in July.

How can you NOT like Christmas jams when they are on someone so cute?!

Arg, my computer is going to die. I have zeeero energy to walk into the other room and get my charger. I should probably just end this post anyway, my kids are pushing a cooler around the living room and I just feel like a mess is in the very near future... a mess, and bedtime. Yay. Maybe I'll write after they go to bed. Hope I didn't bore you too badly! :) Write soon!

Oh yes, and start a debate. I want to find a debate in the comments when I get back on later!

Hi my dear Saturday.

It seems like forever since I've seen you weekend, my dear friend. Well, its been about a week. It was a long week though. It was a long, birthday party, camping, swimming, fussy child, and random weather filled week, but alas, we meet again. Last night I had such great hopes of sleeping in this morning, unfortunately the boys, and Jon, had other plans! Instead we were up early and decided to drive to Hallowell for the parade. It was decent. It was a parade in Maine, it was good as far as they go. The boys loved it, Tyler got lucky because we ended up next to these really nice kids that shared all the candy and stuff that they got. He was pretty pumped about that. I will be making sure to brush his teeth really well tonight!

I am sitting in the exam chair at the docs office as I write this. The room is nice and cool, a welcome break from the 91 degree weather outside! I secretly love the heat though...guess its no longer a secret.

Oops, here comes the doc, gotta go. Sorry for the choppy, incomplete post, will write later...promise. xo.

I Love You, Beth Cooper

Posted by Beth , Friday, July 16, 2010 7:37 PM

Here it is, the first blog entry. I'm kind of excited to start this up, I always have so much I want to say about everything, and this seems like a pretty good way to do that. Okay, here goes!


I'm watching the movie, I Love You, Beth Cooper. I'm not really sure why I'm watching it. It's pretty stupid. I wish I had the power to magically turn it into I Love You, Man...I could watch that movie over and over again for the rest of time. I love to laugh. I'm pretty sure that is the problem with this movie, it's making me yawn. Not laugh. But I'm too lazy to reach my hand to the right, 8 inches, and get the remote. So, I'll continue watching.

Since this is my first blog, I might as well introduce myself a little bit, for anyone reading that doesn't already know me. IF anyone is reading this....I hope at least one person reads this. I guess I'll find out eventually.

I'm Beth. I was going to tell you my age but I need to take a second to remember what it is. It's pathetic that you even have to think of that before you hit the age of 60... let me do some quick math, I'll let you know what my number is. Okay, I'm 24, but my birthday is in September, so soon I will be the big 2-5. Life goes by so fast. And it goes by even faster when you have kids. I have two. Two sons, Tyler, who is going to be 3 on July 31st, and Mason, who just turned 1 on June 15th. I don't know where the time goes. It seems like they were just little babies, and now they seem all grown up to me. Well, as grown up as a 1 & 3 year old can seem. They make me laugh every day, having them in my life makes everything better. Except for when I want to take a nap, they don't like to let me nap.

It's so boring to write about myself and my life this way! This is not how I want to write in the future. So if you're still awake and reading, please know that my entries will NOT all be like this. Or even close.

Back to my general information...

I'm married to my best friend Jonathan. We have been together for 4 1/2 years. I love him, and can't imagine my world without him. He is an amazing father and husband. I love my parents. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother. I also have a step sister and step brother as well. I love spring and summer. Fall is okay. Hate winter. I don't smoke or drink. Well, every now and again I'll have a drink, but I couldn't tell you the last time I was even slightly buzzed. I have a spasm in my leg right now that is making my laptop move around. I love shopping. My bank account does not love my shopping. Nor does my husband. I like just about every kind of music there is. Evidently I am a liar too, because that is just NOT true... I don't like opera, I don't like polka, death metal, punk/screaming, or gospel/church music, I don't like old country music... it might just be easier to say what I do like actually. Or I could let you figure it out. I'm going to let you figure it out. I like watching tv, probably more than I should. I really enjoy a nice afternoon nap, when the kiddos will allow. I dabble in the art of guitar. I like movies, as long as they aren't horror movies. Not a fan of gore. I'm sort of judgmental, I'm not rude, but I tend to make fun a lot. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor, and might say something offensive, but I probably don't mean it. I enjoy when people can tolerate being made fun of, and people who understand the concept of sarcasm. I guess the better way to put it is that I like people who can laugh at themselves...and who can KEEP laughing when everyone else starts laughing at them as well. I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open now, it's 11:15pm. This should give you an idea of how wild I am. I wish I had gone to bed about 3 hours ago, that would have been so wonderful. Alright, a few more and then I'll save the rest for the next posts. I looove getting kisses and hugs from my little guys. Their smiles light up my world. Their whines and fusses darken it just slightly. :) I can't hardly remember life before them, I was a totally different person. Having children changes you so much, they help you to realize what the point of living is. They help you to remember to not take yourself or anything else in life too seriously, and that there is ALWAYS room for a laugh. I love every second of watching them learn and grow as little people. Kids are why we are put on this earth. I knew exactly what I was supposed to do with my life as soon as I had Tyler. Now, that's not to say that I can't still become all rich and famous and be a HUGE star at the same time. If I had to guess I would say I'll be a world famous singer, or the next Oprah. My money is on Oprah. I might need some encouragement though. I'm sure Oprah gets up really early in the morning, I'm not very good at that. I'll need to start working on that soon. Not tomorrow though, I just feel like the boys are going to want me to sleep in, and I wouldn't want to disappoint them in any way. I'm a very dedicated mother like that! Anything for my kids!! :)

And there you have it. Well, there you have a tiny little fraction of 'it'. I'll do my best to write in this every day and as I do you will get to know more and more about the wonder that is Bethanie Farr. I'm warning you, it's pretty intense...

Goodnight to all of my hypothetical readers!
