I think we have all woken up in the middle of the night because we heard a strange noise. We have all grabbed the baseball bat or the gun and almost shot our dogs because it walked into the kitchen chair while trying to get a drink of water. Poor dog!

I didn't think my son's pre-school graduation would make me emotional but I honestly had to hold back the tears. Ridiculous! I felt better when I noticed other moms with glossy eyes.

It seems like my husband and I are always having to rearrange our schedule because something happens with the kids or our work schedules. After a while the plan gets changed so much that you don't know if you are coming or going. This can be very frustrating, which explains why my husband was slightly upset about our weekend plans changing for the third time last night.

Yesterday I planned a nice Mothers Day Brunch for my mom and I invited my brother and sister to join us. To my surprise things didn't go as planned due to an unexpected guest.

Every Friday Doug Maughan from The College of Southern Idaho brings the radio station a box of yummy donuts. I love donuts but I try at all costs to avoid eating them because I know how many hours I will have to be in the gym to work it off. Everyone knows that most times you can eat whatever you want as long as you eat the right amount, so I always cut a small piece of a donut off.

Recently I was talking to some ladies that run a local daycare and they gave me some information that could be very scary depending on your situation. They said they knew several couples that had decided to stop having children so the husband had a vasectomy done. Everything was great for 3, to 5, to even 9 years and then the wife found herself pregnant.

Last night I went to my first Wrap Party. At home parties seem to range in all different types of products so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was kind of expecting to eat veggie wraps. To my surprise there were no veggie wraps just bottled water and body wraps.

This isn't a promising look at the modern state of ethics. According to a study from AOL Money of almost 5,000 people, almost one-third admit they've stolen something at a grocery store self-checkout.

I was raised on a farm so I don't really know how to be quiet outside. So when I am outside with my kids I  have a hard time not yelling at them to behave when they are out of line. Last night my husband got after the boys and actually yelled and whispered at the same time.

A lot of you have expressed that you like rap and hip hop music. So we thought why not combined rap and hip hop with country music? What do you think?

No we are not talking about marriage! But there are a lot of things in life that seem fun and exciting only to find out that they are way out of reach or not nearly as fun as they seem. We asked you what things seemed like a good idea but actually aren't and here are some of the answers we received:

My husband has been bugging me for years to order new eye glasses because I couldn't see with my old ones. So I finally ordered new ones and now he says he won't look at me with my new glasses because they are so ugly. I think my new glasses are awesome...
