musings.

right now we are recovering from a very eventful two weeks and bri and i dont really feel like doing anything.

even though i really should be cleaning my house.

in case you wanted to know, here are some things ive been thinking lately...

i really miss the first day of school. 

there is nothing like it. especially the first day of college. we just got my brother moved into his apartment and he started college for the first time yesterday. im a little jealous.

there is nothing like picking out your first day of school outfit, moving into your apartment, wondering who will sit next to you in your classes, and getting to meet loads of new people.

okay. im really jealous. i totally loved college and i always feel nostalgic at the beginning of the new semesters.

this blog post has been floating around the internet the past few days and i have really mixed feelings about it.

in case you dont feel like reading it, the writer just posts baby names from the past year in rexburg that she thinks are weird or funny.

and most of them are really weird and funny.

i dont think that she is overly mean or malicious about her list. but she is definitely mocking.

thats not really the part that ends up bothering me. her list generates hundreds of comments and alot of them are ridiculously mean.

i think posting comments anonymously leaves people feeling more brave and whatever humor i found in the name list quickly vanishes when i read the mean things people have to say about the parents of these babies. the worst is when one of the parents comment saying that that is their daughter/sons name and that they love it. and then 5 more people leave comments under their comment making fun of them more.

super awesome.

maybe im just really sensitive.

 brielles name ended up as a weird name that people added to the list this year in the comments.

 thats cool, bobby and i love it. 

i just think that most people take alot of time choosing their kids names and it kind of stings when people make fun of it.

sorry that kind of turned into a rant and it wasnt intended to be at all.

just some thoughts from a very tired mama while her little girl takes a nap.

another thought....we're going to the zoo tomorrow and i cant wait for bri to pet those baby goats. :)
