Put some thought into it

Do you put thought into your everyday actions? Or do you just take everything as it comes?..Did you put thought into what you wanted to do with your life?..Or did it just happen? Did you think about how many children you wanted?..Or did it all just happen?

Sometimes I wish I would have planned it out better..ya no, like actually finished college before I got married and had kids..Wish I would of moved away from home sooner...(only because my kids did not enjoy the move)..If I would of moved before I had them..No problems for them....

I wish sometimes that I would of put thought into my school work as a teenager..So I could of gotten into a real good expensive school far away...I wish I would of studied harder..I truly always wanted to be a Dr..I had a professor last year tell me I would make one hell of a Dr as I could diagnose nearly anything he threw at me ...I wish I would of not been so scared to pursue things that I know I could of done..But didn't think I could at the time...All this time wasted..I don't even think anyone even knows I wanted to be a Dr..The running joke with parts of my family is I am the un official Dr..I can usually tell you what's wrong or what is not wrong..Most close friends and some of the family know this and humors me when they feel odd or think they may be sick..It is fun for me..99% of the time I am right...LOL

If I would of only put some thought into everything...Life would be better..Instead I get antsy and when I want something I do it or get it..With no thought...I have wasted money, time, and other peoples time..And if I would of slept on it..Or gave it time..I would not have done it...Live and learn..

These are just thoughts I have been running thru my head today...I am sorry..

BTW...I am totally pissed off..(BTW..That is a side note..Has nothing to do with my post whatso ever)

I may need to give God a call tonight and ask his opinion on what's going on..Not sure if He is home tonight..I think it may be bingo night..LOL

The city of the future

earlier today I asked my oldest spawn if he had picked up all the toys in the family room in the basement..He assured me that there was not a single toy down there to be found...I even did the " so if I go down there the room will be clean, right?" bit and he nodded and complied with all questions..

After I dropped them off at daycare I wandered down here to turn off the computer and make sure the TV was shut off...And this is what I found...



Seems the kids are making a city of their own....I may buy some investment property. Maybe start up my own business..I always wanted a pet store..I think there may be room for one on the corner next to the boat..LOL....How can you get mad when do such cute things..I am glad I didn't run away today or I might have missed this wonderful investment oppurtunity.... :)

No way back Wednesday

Yes I am not playing way back Wednesday today as I have no pictures of my drunk in college...I am guessing I could not afford a camera in those days..hee hee

Why do kids want to sleep on their floors or on the couch when they have a perfectly wonderful bed to sleep in??

Why do kids complain when you ask them to out THEIR toys away?

Why does the baby spawn continue to do things when I tell her to stop?

Why does the eldest spawn pick fights with everyone is this house?

Why does the middle spawn cry when her brother even looks at her funny?

Why do I lose my temper after my oldest spawn asks me the same question over.and over ...And everytime I tell him the same answer..NO.??

Why don't I charge these kids rent?

Why does my dog need a bath everyday and why does she always smell?

Why does my cat lay in the corner all day without moving?..How can she hold her bladder that long?

Why am I the only one in the house who knows how the dishwasher works?

Why was I going to run away again??

Why didn't I?

Oh yes..Because it is my job to do all this work and to deal with the kids all day everyday..Because the hubs is out working and making money because that is HIS job..And when he gets home(from his hard day at work in an air condtioned office) ..And if I want to go out and make the money he would be more than happy to stay home and be with them...
Yup that would last about 2 days..And he would be begging to find a job with hard labor and nil for pay..

But that's my job..And why don't I have a retirement plan?..Or vacation time, or sick days, petty cash, company car(oh yes I do..)..Holiday pay, personal time, maternity leave, or fringe benefits?

Gotta go...Have a good day..Toodles

ahh shucks anyway

well I just got home from work bout half hour ago..Work was slow and boring...Lets see, we did some ROM (range of motion)..Played a hot game of crosswords, did a little handwashing , sensory activities, passed out dinner trays , then played a mind numbing game of lawn dice..Yup this is what I get paid $11 bucks an hour for:)

I did have a old man tell me how pretty I was and that he didn't want me to leave..LOL...But I don't think he had his glasses on:)


One day mom and the midget are in love..The next she is mad at him..Sounds like true love to me:)


Here is a little ditty from my childhood...And this is all true:)
I was a shy young child..I always did what I was told....A very good girl..And to disobey a teacher..ARE YOU KIDDING..Never ever...

Although one day in first grade something hit me..There was a boy named Billy in my class. Not a very attractive kid..But that is not the point..Just a side observation:)
At story time when we were out of our chairs listening to our teacher read a story
I snuck over to my desk and got out some glue..The paste kind in the plastic jar and when you undid the lid the little applicator was attached to the lid...
I took the lid off and brought the applicator to the boys chair and proceeded to cover this boys entire chair with my paste...Then I snuck back over to the cirlce we first graders were sitting in...

Shortly there after we went back to our desks..And this boy sat in the paste..Got it all over his pants and his parents had to come pick him up because his pants were full of white paste:)
Someone ratted on me..I ended up sitting in a corner all day and didn't even get to go eat lunch....
I never behaved baldy after that..That was my one shining moment of rebel ness till I got to highschool....And boy oh boy is that a novel all in itself:)..All in good time though..All in good time:)

views and viewpoints

Ok..this may sound like what working moms may assume us stay at home moms do all day..But as I am sitting here watching The View..(yes..please no nasty commnets)...I think to myslef how nice it would be to reach my hand inside the televiosn and slap all of them..They act like kids..They talk over eachother,argue, and just bloody get on my nerves..Why dont I change the channel you ask?..One word..LAZY.

Also I will be watching the only soap oprea I watch..( I know..I must sit here and do nothing all day:) And I swear if it dont get better I will not watch it anymore..My life is way better soap style than the crappy show I watch..But I am addicted..I need a 12 step program for crappy shows...

For a sheltered person as myself, some things just make you happy..Like a not so hot day that you can send the kids out play all day, see a favoitre movie while channel surfing, finding a fat free ice cream that doesnt taste like crap..And also getting emails..I have come to a time in my life where I love to get emails..wheather I know you or not...It is kinda like opening a present you werent expceting...I sit here on my laptop..( I am too lazy to walk to the basment to get on the real computer..and you remeber whay happen last time i wlkaed down there..) I turn it on in the
morning after breakfast and send an email out to a few friends and family memebrs..Some folks are so lucky to get an email from me everyday..hee hee..some folks who I write dont write back..well in a timely matter..But thats ok..I always like to do a weekly check on everyone..Freinds or family..I like to do my check ins.....I just am like that....But today I got an email from a very nice woman today..She told me she enjoys my site and enjoys reading my misfortunes..lol...It really made my day....So I just wanted to thank her again...You made my day..I so love getting emails..and I think you are my new best friend..lol....I know..I am a poor, lonley ,sap of a woman..:)..I love getting mail..I am lame ..

The kids are getting on my nerves..Emma is doing some dramtics now..I think she must be wanting a nap..Lord knows I do..She got up at 5:30 today..way before I was ready..So the hubby brings her upstairs with a cup of milk and a dry bowl of Captin Crunch...She watched her shows and I took a cat nap..Then shortly afterward the middle spawn comes up.....Why cant kids understand the joys of summer vaction and the art of sleeping in???...grrr!!

Well I need to get my clothes in dryer or I will be going to work in my undergarments today...And noone wants that..well the one creepy guy would..but I wont be doing it for him I tell you what..!!

Conversations with little people

While driving in the van today my son pipes up with.." Mom "the Spanish kid" doesn't know what littering means?..I very much confused at this odd statement ask what he is talking about.
He told me that "the Spanish kid" and his family don't know English well enough to understand what littering means..Because there yard is full of wrappers, cups, trash and he has even seen spoons in the yard..LOL
He told me their yard looks like a "junkyard"
My son explained to me that he tried telling them that throwing trash on the ground was bad and you should really use a garbage can..My son really cant stand to see littering..God Bless him..So he is now convinced folks who hail from Mexico have no idea what littering means or that garbage cans can be uselful:)

My littlest spawn while outside tonight was throwing rocks..everytime she threw one she would say.."See..See momma"...And when I would ignore her..She would say it louder...When I would say "yup I see"..She would lift her arms in the air and say"ta da"...She is such a ham..I taught her where the sky is..Now when you ask her where the sky is she looks up..Points..And claps and says..:guy guy"..Guess you have to be there:)

I have added a few new sites to my list...All good of course..I am adding more but I have a hard enough time adding a few at a time...Remember I am a recovering blonde..Always keep that in mind when you read my nonsense..

Doing good with the Bloggers Biggest Loser..(it is a weight loss challenge in case you were wondering)...It is fun..And good source of tips and support for anyone wanting to lose a few extra pounds...

Do you ever have days where you think everyone hates you?..Yup having one today..And frankly I could care less..:)

Thanks for all the good advice from my earlier post..I have decided that I am going to just offer advice when she ask for it...I am not going to hound her or tell her I think she is totally whacked for staying...In due time I hope she will come to see..And Thank you Princess for writing and talking with her..Your great:)

Well I am off to bed...Gonna watch a little John Stewart..(if I miss the nightly news...I watch him and call it good..LOL)
Then watch a little Letterman...Then a little Conan after, hopefully sometime between now and morining I can catch a few winks..I am a sleep deprived soul on the verge of running away and or changing my name and hair color...:)

I have decided to run away

After much thought, I have decided I am going to run away.

I have not yet decided on a destination, or have I decided how I am going to live once I get there...I am only packing a fresh pair of underwear, chapstick, and a bottle of vodka..(and I don't even drink)

My kids have drove me crazy, the house, the job,the kids, the dog, the kids,and everything else you can think of..Oh yes and the kids..

My son has told me he is tired of doing all the work around here.(he stated this after he got mad and threw one of his toys on the ground and I told him to pick it up)..The 2 older ones are always fighting, or just itentionally getting on eachothers nerves...

Some days I feel I have had it...Some days I think I really need to get a full time job and let someone else deal with it all day....

At least it is cooler today. It is about 75 now compare to 100 yesterday..

I will let you no where I end up once I decide where I am going...I am thinking Bangkok or Katmandu...Haven't made up my mind yet..Depends on which one os farther away and closest to the sun...

I wonder if I am the only mother who wants to run away...Maybe I need to start a support group for myself..And call it.."You cant run away your my mother"............Any takers????

I better go..My son apparently has not ate all day and is on his way to deaths door...The dramatics on this kid are very amazing..He would give any leading man a run for his money....He can cry in cue, have a fit at the littlest thing, run and hide when asked to do any work, throw himself to the ground in a huddle like you were running in a bomb shelter when you scold him....Very imperssive..I need to get the kid some head shots..And a good agent:)

Hope all you moms out there are fairing better...
(I think my son must be getting ready to go thru puberty..He is 8 and half..Very emotional, cranky, moody, and annoying)....Any moms with young boys..Please let me know what you think?..He seems a little young to me...But I don't know for sure...I may need to commit myself if it gets much worse.

Sundays in the land of the munchcins and runaways

Enjoying some much needed fresh air today, the kids went "swimming " in the little pool in the backyard.... The kids were having fun..Then they started complaining...They did not want to be splashed by the other...So after I had scolded the 2 older ones, on not splashing others when they do not want to be splashed..The Boy takes his foot and kicks water at the middle spawn..

She starts crying..I say to The Boy...Go to your room for that..I just told you not to splash...This is what I hear:.....TB: "I know your just saying this because you want me to run away"
ME: "whatever"
TB: "Ok that is it. I am running away..You can not stop me...I know you want me to leave you like all the girls better"
ME: "noone wants you to run away"
TB: "well fine..One day I will make you happy..I will leave and I will never come back..Never ever"

So after that fight was over and we told him that noone wants him to run away..My hubby and I decided that this child should enter some kind of drama class..Really he puts on a better show many soaps I have seen...
This kids wants to live in a mansion and be the richest kid on our block..LOL...Well I am gonna make him work for it..:)...For some reason money is a big deal to him..He is always wanting to know how much money we have..How much things cost..I tell him.." We own 2 houses..We have 2 student loan payments.credit card bills,insurance on 2 cars,payments on one,groceries for 5,plus all the other expenses one may have...Kid we have no money"..LOL.....He didn't like the sound of that..He says "how can I live in a mansion if we have no money?"...I said.."Good question"...:)
*******************************************************************





Reason number one you should invest in buying "little swimmers" if your baby is going to get wet..She can barely get around with that load..:)

Do opposite attract?..Chapter 3 of mom and "little man Tate"

So I guess the date went well..They seem to like eachother..Maybe its love..yikes.. Not sure though

I don't want to come off with the impression that just because he is a "midget" or little person , that that affects my feelings. I could really care less how tall he is..I just worry about the "moving to fast " part..But I think in the long run they will move in together..I may have a new daddy one day after all..LOL

And my mom says."good things come in small packages"...I guess she would know:)


Going to take the kids outside to swim in their pool..It may rain today...Has not rained in over 2 weeks...My poor flowers are begging for a drink..And I am too darn lazy to go out and water them....Hiigh of 99 today, but tomorrow only gonna be 76...Then back to the 90,s Tuesday..Yippie..

I am gonna go make a sandwich..eggsalad made with fat free miracle whip and light on the mustard...I would eat it on whole wheat bread if I had any..But I don't....Gotta hot the treadmill today...gotta hit the weights today...May try to hit the bike too around my lake....I say that like I own the lake..LOL

Maybe I can work out some of my aggression that way....We will see..Toodles

Hello God..Its me....(you no what my name is..Your God)

So my mother has spent her Saturday with her new found "friend"..Am still a little Leary of the situation..I do not trust people, nor do I expect them to trust me..And I have no problem with that what so ever..My poor ole mother has been thru a lot the last 10 or so years and I really hate to see her do something rash or speedy...But such as life I guess..

We are staying home from church this lovely steamy Sunday morning..My house needs some grave attention..Which when something needs attention, that is when I tend to ignore it:)

Some days I feel I have no clue what my purpose is..Sure I am a mom who stays at home all day..But I always hope I am more than that..Like I have stated before..I am a bit of a biologist..I know blood,bodily fluids,nearly every disease,and have seen man y disgusting things...I have dissected a fetal pig..I have looked at nearly every organ and cell under a microscope...
OK..So why am I just sitting here everyday..I should be out contiuing my education so I can get a job that pays more than 10 dollars and hour..(that is roughly what I make at my part time job at the nursing home where I play games and read to the elderly)..Yes my husband has a real good job..We have a nice home...We have 3 good children...So what am I lacking?..Not sure?....A dog?..Nope got one of those for Christimas cause I thought I needed one..(turns out I didn't,spend $600 on dog that I really didn't need)..A cat..No I have one of those..My mothers day gift about 3 years ago..(she is a Siamese..Beautiful kitty)..But no that wasn't it...A job..Well I have that now, still nothing..

So I am thinking it is lipo suction..I do think that will do the trick..Maybe a boob reduction...Nothing fancy:)..Not asking for an extreme makeover..Just a little nip and tuck:)

I know it is not that I need another kid..That would just drive me to the nutty bin..And I do not have time for that in my scheule....

Maybe I need a shrink..Maybe he or she could tell me what my problem is...If any of you are shrinks...Please insert the cure for my diease..Is it just the heat..(been nearly 100 degress for 12 days in a row)....

I want to take the kids to the beach today..Not sure if it is gonna pan out..Hubby never wants to leave the house..And I try to think of ways to get out of it...

Well I better go shower and whatnot...Try to get some crap done around here ,as my maid hasn't shown up..:)
I will try to write something bouncy and cheery later..But do not hold your breath:-)

"And they call it, puppy love"..The continuing saga of mom and the midget

First off I want to say that I am still trying to get over the movie last night...As I stated last night..Johnny Depp good..Willy Wonka good..Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka..Not so good..One of my most favorite movies has left me blind sided..And in a comment from Marel about Tim Burton and his "directing"..much agreed...He is way more creepy than we give him credit for..
Gene Wilder if you are out there.."I love you Willy Wonka"....Not even the sexiest man alive can compete with you as the one and only Willy wonka..You are marvelous:)....On a side note the child who plays Charlie, so freaking adorable...He actually made a better Charlie than the first one..I wanted to wrap him up and bring him home..:)

So the saga slash soap opera of my mom and the midget continues...One day she hates him, the next she loves him...She tells me"I am not talking to him anymore!!"...
then a while later I see her on the computer so I IM her..And this is the conversation.
ME"...WHAT YOU DOING"
MOM"..YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW"
ME"..YOUR NOT ON SOME PORN SITE ARE YOU"
MOM"..NO!..WORSE I AM TALKING TO (the midget)!!
ME:.."THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T TALKING TO HIM ANYMORE"
MOM:..I KNOW"
ME"..DANG, JUST LIKE 3RD GRADE...LOVE EM AND HATE EM ALL IN THE SAME DAY"
MOM" YUP"

Well you see here in is where my trouble lies...I do not mind so much he is younger, heck I don't even care that he is a midget ..What I don't like is he says he is going to call..And he doesn't..
He seems to be on some kind of a bandwagon to get married..HELLO YOU HAVE KNOWN EACOTHER ALL OF 2 WEEKS..!!

He is suppose to be coming today..WITH A RING...WTF???...And he talks to her about wanting to adopt kids and living happily ever after..

I just smell somethin fishy..And I do not like fish...
Sometimes she acts like a love sick 13 year old...Other times she acts like a normal old lady, who can see the weirdness in this whole situation..

Now maybe I am wrong..It has happened once or twice..LOL
But I think this is very bizarre..I am no sure if she should continue to see this guy,,plus he wants to buy her a new car....Why cant I find a man like that??...

Well..You guys talk amongst yourselves and let me know what you think..Hurry before they run off to Vegas...Or worse..Toledo..:)..(ohio)

OK..Cheer up Charlie...Not..Not there..The candy man can..Nope not there either

I want to thank you guys for your kind words on my ho-hum day..You guys truly are the BEST!!!!

Ok..So Johnny Depp..Good...Willy Wonka ..Good....Johnny Depp as Willy wonka....Not so good..

I left this movie feeling very overwhelmed with a feeling of being cheated out of Willy wonka..Johnny Depp, as beautiful as he his, came across more as a creepy ,ambiguous sex, cross between Michael Jackson and Laytoa.freak show..LOL..His smile and demeanor was a bit lacking..There was no similarity between the two movies..I don't wanna spoil it for anyone who is going to see it..So I wont go into any details..But if you loved the songs from the original and the spirit of it..You will not enjoy the 2 hours you spend in it..My kids loved it..I came out lacking something..I knew I should not of went to see it...But I could not help myself.
don't get me wrong...It was full of color and special effects..Johnny Depp was wonderful..But just wonderfully creepy..I give it 2 and a half out of 5 stars..And I am no movie critic..LOL

On with other matters..I am still feeling a little out of sorts still..Maybe its the weather..Maybe its this and maybe its that..Not sure..Guess in the long run it really doesn't matter...It too shall pass..

I better get the spawns off too bed...Way past bedtime..For me I mean:)
I hope I do not wake in the night with bad dreams of Johnny Depp in my face with the big ole teeth telling me I am weird..I just know it is gonna happen..I am hoping for a wiggle dream tonight..Please keep your fingers crossed on that one..
Have a good night and a pleasant tomorrow..Toodles

Down and out in the mid-west

For some reason today I am in a bad mood and feel kinda down..Not sure why..Maybe I am tired of never having any money..(well I mean in my wallet..LOL)..Maybe I am tired of being tired all the time..Maybe it is because I feel lonely or isolated in my home...Maybe it is because I feel like such a huge slob..Maybe its because I feel I don,t have any good friends left anymore..Maybe its because I need some Zoloft..LOL...Maybe it is because it has not been below 95 for the last 6 days and we haven,t went outside..Maybe its because everytime we go outside we are swarmed by a family of mosquito's who haven't ate a good meal in a few days..

Anyhoo...I am going to take my 2 older spawns to see Charlie and the Cholcalte Factory tonight..Although I love Johnny Depp...I do not see him making a good Willy Wonka...That is one of my favorite movies..I am worried I am gonna walk away being very disappointed...I hope all the original songs are still in it...Oh here is hoping...I will let you know how it is when I return tonight..

This morning my little baby spawn was in my room watching TV..(it was around 5:30 am and I was NOT getting outta bed then..LOL)..When I looked over and she had taken her diaper off...Very proud of this fact she walked up to my bed.."Momma momma"...She had a big ole grin on her face...Then she walked back by the TV...piddled on my carpet..Then got a dirty sock from the floor and proceeded to clean it up...I think I may try potty training her soon...

Well I am gonna go wallow in my own self pitty..If anyone cares to join me..I am at the bar on the corner..I will be the one laying on the floor face down in the peanuts asking for another shot of the cheapest stuff they have...Toodles

spf day

My first spf day...How exciting...

First up is a photo of you from then 80,s..Had to do some digging but I found a photo of me and our dog Magnum that drown in our pool..(from a past post..Remember)...:(






**********************************************************************************
Next up is a movie or CD from the 80,s you can not give up..Well I had a few..So here we go again...

as you can see it is Purple rain...A few Prince CD,s..And my very favorite CD by Def Leppard..I am a rocker at heart:)







********************************************************************

Next is something from the 80,s you can not give up..I had a hard time with this one for when I moved I have found I lost some things along the way..But for some reason this darn thing follows me where ever I go.

my dad and I picked this out for my mom for Christmas or something when I was little..I have no idea why I have it now...It isn't even mine..But he has to be over 20 years old...










**************************************************************************************

That was fun...I have trouble scanning photos because my scanner is mentally challgened and my photo edit program seems to be unistalled now so I can not crop or edit them....Poo on that whole thing....So please forgive my sloppy pictures...I do the best and that is the best I can do:)

I have made a startling revelation

Well you know how we are always hearing on the news and such the we Americans are getting fatter by the second?..Always showing pictures of the heavier people walking,usually carrying a hotdog or eating fries or pork rinds?..

Well I think I know why everyone is getting heavier..I have spent much time thinking about this...And what is happening is evolution.....We are preparing for another iceage..Kinda like why polar bears,seals,walrus,penguins...They all have extra flubber to keep them warm...So I am thinking sometime in our lifetime, it will happen..Because the process seems to be over producing results, so this must be because it is going to happen soon..Am I wring people?...Yes I am no scientist and I have no data or research to back up my findings..Although I think I am on the right track...

If you have a better explanation I would love to hear your thereory....

*****
Watched that INXS show last night...It is pretty good..No American Idol..But it is pretty amusing...I have not heard a really good singer yet..Although I have only seen it twice..
Have any of you seen it?..I know J&j's mom has....Am I the only one who likes those tacky talent shows?...If so...I can live with that..I would rather watch bad singers than watch those other "reality" shows..I really hate reality TV...Please give us some good family sitcoms..Hello..You twits..(talking to the TV executives)..WE would love some nice family sitcoms we can watch with our kids..With no bad launguae , sexual situations,...Or penile disfunction commercials or commercials about herpes or douching..Thank you..

I am off..Need to get in shower..Get kids breakfast..And go on to work later..Peace out..Toodles

OK here it is..Way back wednesday

Ok way back Wednesday is your old prom photo...I had to do some digging..I found it..

You have to remember this was 1993.My senior prom..My hair isn't too big, but I must say it is big enough...

I look that dress and think to myself "what was I thinking"...Oh those were the days...

Please insert laughter and giggles here______..LOL

Have a good one..Toodles

I am gonna play way back Wednesday

ok I got this off of Beth and Peanut...(sorry I will try to link soon..I have had many nice folks tell me how to do it:)

Only problem is I can not figure out how to hook up my dang ole scanner..As soon as hubby gets home..(took kids to the church ministry..Every Wednesday they do activities at the church)....And me being the recovering blonde I am..I can not get it too work....I have until midnight right???..LOL....I love these kinda things..When you know that there is one going on..Please oh please tell me...I will post it soon...Then you can all get a good laugh...Toodles

Interview and such

I was out pulling weeds tonight and asked my son to help me. He was all gung ho about helping me pull weeds..Well, when I finally got him outside and asked him to pull weeds by a near by tree, this is what he said"I am not touching anything without gloves on"...Ok what is the deal with that?

This is the same kid who touches spiders, digs in dirt, and eats without handwashing..(I am sometimes bad about reminding them)...We had a fight and I told him to get in the house becuase I did not feel like arguing about him pulling weeds with gloves on...Who does that anyway?..What fun is it too pull weeds with gloves on?..I so need a gardener...

I have to work in the morning..Kids are excited about going to daycare for a few hours..Really makes ya feel good ya no:(

You named your baby WHAT

My oldest spawn the other day was wondering how he got his name..Just wondered why would choose his name out of all the other "cool" names out there....

Well Early on had decided that I would like to name my kids names that are either Biblical and or presidential....I would never name a child of mine after another person...being family or friend....Hence how 2 got there names..Zachary Noah...(presidential part being Zachary(Taylor) and the Noah from the BIBLE....Makes sense right??...Second spawn Abigail Paige..(Abigail as in(Abigail Adams)..Wife of John Adams..Pagie..Well I did find it somewhere in a Biblical baby name book..At least I am pretty sure....Then we come to my 3rd and final spawn..Emma Kimberli...Well not sure if any fit here..Emma came from the fact I liked it....And it sounded very old...And rustic...I like the old names..In fact she was gonna be Jack if she was a boy..Hence John F Kennedy....But the Kimberi was named after someone..

A cousin of mine who I always looked up to my whole life...Killed herself a few months before I got pregnant...So there went that rule of not naming your kids after anyone..Her kids have some of the strangest names..Skylar(girl) Mylan,and Saige...Can anyone top those?

I would love to hear why you named you kids the names you did..And what they are..Just something kinda fun....If you have no kids...Do you know why your parents named you what they did?...Cant wait to hear..Toodles

Happy family..Well sometimes..Depending on who dad is dating:)

Since I dogged on my mom yesterday..(well really today but this is meant for tomorrow..So don't read till then)..LOL..Today is my dads turn...

My dad is a good man...I am like him in many,many ways..Other ways..Not so much..I have never been fond of a woman my dad dated...He really has only had 2 serious ones since my mom and him got divorced some almost 20 years ago...One was a psycho..And the other one he married...yikes..I wont get into that one..Sore spot..LOL

Well 2 years ago I got a call from my sister..Who is very nose..LOL...Said our dad was just at her house with Jennifer so and so..I am like..Who the heck is that..She said it was a girl she graduated with...Im like huh???....She said she was over at his house right now...So what do I do...I drive right over there to confront this nasty situation...There my dad is ironing his clothes and there SHE is sitting on HiS sofa...Well..I says"is she a girlfriend or you guys just friends"...Yes I was very forward:)....My dad being the wuss he can be..hee hee..Says "you can never have too many friends"...So I was not too sure what was going on...A few weeks later when I had my baby..(spawn number 3)...My dad shows up at the hospital with HER...What nerve...So I was thinking this must be serious for him to drag her to the labor and delivery floor of a hospital an hour away...

WEll too make a long story short...She is the best...We are really good buddies..We have went on vacation together to chicago a few months ago..We talk nealry everyday(by email)..My dad finally got it right..Now I am just waiting for him to marry her...Not sure why he is stalling...I mean she moved into his house...She cooks for him..Cleans up after him..Come already dad..LOL..Really she is wonderful and I am glad they found eachohter..Not sure what a young chick like her wants with an old man..hee hee...But they both work hard and enjoy eachothers company...I am kinda jealous in a way..I mean she is 28..Has no kids..And they can do whatever they want whenever they want...She makes a good granny though..LOL...My kids really like her..And they call her grandma Jennifer....

I am glad he finally got it right...Now I just need to work on my mother...She is a work in progress though...I will find her a good man eventually..If everyone let me pick out their mates..The world would be a better place:)

ummpa what...??

Ok...I know 2 posts in one day..How do you keep up with me..LOL..

My dear ole mother who has been single for some 12 years..(has dated and lived with more than handful of losers through this 12 year period..Don't get me wrong)...Finally went out on a date this past weekend..She met a young man online..Yes on line...He lives about 3 hours from her place of residents..And he drove up to her place Friday night...They hung out..Then he got a motel for the night in a neirboring city...Came back in the morning and they spent Saturday together..

When my mom was first telling me about the man...She said oh he sounds really nice..( I am am thinking I bet some of Charlie mansons victims thought the same thing)...I do not trust people...anyhoo..She tells me what he does for a living, and he owns his own home..All that stuff..
She tells me he is 32 years old...Say what...Really not too bad...My mom is only 30..(well that is what she thinks)...Really she is PUSHING 50..Yes..Don't deny it.....
Which the age thing does not bother me at all..In fact my dad has a lovely girlfriend for the past 2 years...She graduated with my youngest sister..My dad is 50...She is I think 28...But she is a wonderful gal..

Then my mom then goes on to tell me more about this man...Then at the end she says...he is a migdet....did you catch that?...Yeah I didn't either at first...I said HE IS AN UMPA LUMPA?......And she she yes mam...
Turns out he may not be a good fit for her...LOL...I am not against her dating a man of small stature..I just don't see how it could work...I could insert many jokes here...But out of respect for the little people I wont...

I know I am bad...I do not have a problem with any humans on this good earth...And I am not making fun of him..Or others like him...Just me picturing my mother dating a little man...Just does not seem logical..

What do you think?...I am being mean and heartless...Or is it just as amusing as I think it is?....

Ok..Whatever

So the baby gets up bright and early thins morning..She just can not wait to start her day..But 5;30am is a little early for me..I do not like to start mine that early..No I don't...Ok..Whatever

Lat night when I was down in the laundry room..(doing laundry..LOL) I noticed by my cats food dish a few of those pesky...ANTS....Yes..I somehow got rid of them up here..Now they are down consuming my cats food in mass quantities...I holler upstairs to hubby asking where the any spray is....I find it and start spraying..I soon see tiny feet in the doorway...It is my middle spawn...I say what are you doing..She says "I love watching you kill ants momma"....Ok whatever...

Again last night my son screams that he gets no respect...An 8 year..He said and I quote..."I am tired of getting no respect around here and I am gonna start demanding it".......Ok whatever

Here is short story of a true tale....I once brought home a kitten..Begged to keep it...Both parents told me know..Ok whatever......So I kept it in the basement at my dads house...No one knew...After a month or so..I had to get rid of because it was starting to come out of the corner..And my dad was going to see it eventually......But I did take care of it...And they said I wouldn't//and that is why I couldn't have one...Well I showed them....Don't think he even knows still to this day...Eventually he let me get a cat...His name was Homer...Oh yes..He is a story all in himslef...But for another day:)..Toodles

a good read..trust me

A blog I frequent has a wonderful post for today..I think everyone should read and follow it as well...check out my blogroll..http://www.ambatigan.blogspot.com/..check it out..and live by it..he writes some pretty cool stuff..and I was very fond of this one..enjoy

Heat..Oh the heat

I am usually the kind of person who envies thoughs that live in Florida...I love hot,humid air..I love palm trees..My dream is to have 2 palm trees in my front yard and 2 citrus trees in the back..Preferably oranges and tangerine..

The last few days have been very hot here in ole Midwest..At least in the mid 90,s..I can not allow the kids out in the heat because I fear they may die of heat stroke..I know stupid..

Right now I wish I were sitting in my igloo in my nice village in Alaska..I would have friends over for a spot of iced ice..And a side of whale blubber..We could go ice fishing with our fur coats on and give eachother Eskimo kisses...

I know this sounds weird..It will pass in a while..I am just drained of all enegery because the heat has made me lazy..I can not bare to think of it any hotter..

Hot breezes are useless...Keep that in your mind...The husband has just opened all the windows in here..Says there is a nice breeze...Feels like maybe the devil is blowing on me..Yeah nice breeze alright...

Well that's all for now..Toodles

I have a new site

I have stared anohter website....it is lamer than this one..lol

It is on weight loss..I know there are moms out there who are trying to shed some extra baby weight..So I wanted a place where we could go and talk about it..share stories and share whatever is troubling us...

I think the adress is babyweightbites.blogspot.com..
but i know it is in my profile for sure...If i get enough readers on it i will try and keep it up..but if I dont I am not sure if I can keep up 2 blogs...we will see..

Hope everyone is having a pleasnat Sunday..too hot here to breath..Toodles

Am I over thinking this..Do I have too much time on my hands

OK maybe I am over thinking this. Maybe I spend too much time watching children's programming..But why does nearly every kids show make adults seem like horses as$(I mean rears)...????...I have many examples I am going to talk about..I will start with the ever popular The Wiggles..Now you all no I love them..Especially the blue one..All that aside , for those of you parents with the unforunate viewing of such shows you will get what I mean..

For isntances when Jeff.(the purple Asian wiggle) is in the middle of working.the buttwipe falls asleep..The guy can not hold down a job with out his fellow wiggle comrades waking him up 5 or 6 times during a show..What is that teaching kids anyway?

I will now move on to the very weird and disturbing show The Doodlebops..So much to say about this one..But I am only going to bring up 2 points..First of all they are always losing Moe..Fire him if he keeps getting lost..Man...Second they have a song about getting on the bus.."Get on the bus..Lets get on the bus"...They should be telling kids to NEVER get on the bus unless it is their school bus..I mean there bus looks like something out of a bad scooby doo trip or maybe the Greatful Dead tour bus..Not sure...

Now I am gonna to move on to Blues Clues..What grown man sits around his house all day taking orders from his dog...And the fact he can never see the clues is what gets me..We teach kids that adults never need help from them..So if a stranger approaches and asks you to help find his lost puppy..YOU RUN...But yet Joe is always asking the kids for help finding clues that are right under his nose....Makes adults look very uneducated..Like maybe they can not be trusted if they have no idea how to do do the simplest tasks...

I will say I have analyzes sesame Street many a time...And I have only found one flaw..And that is the way cookie M0nster speaks.."Me want cookie"..."Me don't know what to do"...at least have them use proper English..And the adults are actually smart on that show..THEY NO STUFF....

Maybe I am looking way too much into this...I find myself watching these shows even when the baby is napping....Weird I know..I just find it absolutely amazing..I am going to come out with a concept to a real program for kids...Gonna make a load that way....I need money for my lipo remeber and all my other attempts have failed miserably.....Well the baby has takes her diaper off and wandering around with no pants on...She could pee on my floor at anytime..Later gators..TOODLES

Crap..And double crap

As I was enjoying some much needed rest, I just all of a sudden wake up..As I lay there I am moved by this overwhelming feeling that I have to move..ya no like toss and turn...I get this ever so often , and I must say it really does suck..So now it is 2:44 in the am..And I am laying here doing this...CAN IT GET ANY WORSE??

feeling tired and overpowered by moving
I cant help but wonder
Am I somehow getting what I am deserving

Sleep does not come easy for my tired soul
never been one to just roll and doze
after all these years it sure has taken a toll

my kids keep me moving all day long
its not that I am not sleepy
somedays trying to sleep is a never ending song

one that plays in your head till you want to die
not sure how to get it to stop
so you just lie there and cry

I am hoping in hour..Maybe two
that my body will calm
and I will start to snooze

then morning comes in thru my window like a bright annoying light
I try to explain to the sun
this just isn't right

for I haven't even slept long enough yet
can not you see
you must not see I have no bed head I bet

well off to slumber I must try
try to beat the sun
gonna try and trick him with a lie

but the sun is much to wise to fall for that
I will be awakened ealry buy the bright light and the Wales
and in bed all night is where I have SAT

well hoe you enjoyed my annoying ditty..toodles

Cant get it right..Shucks anyway..

Hello folks...I have come to realize that I should not even bother trying to do anything that involves anything to do with computers..I can not spell I an not type and I can not figure out how to post anything..I am trying to figure out how to post a profile picture..Well I have one on there, only it is all messed up..It does not fit the space and I can not get it to change..So in the morning I am going to try and change it....

I want to thank Cherry again and web-divas...I am so in love with what you did*hugs* to you:)

We went to the parade today(pictures posted below and I messed that up too as there a double and triple of the same photos)...It was hot..We were sweaty...But we went darn it all...The boy was in it for his cub scouts...God bless him:)

I have spent much of the day admiring my new look....I must come by every hour just to say Hi to it...True love I say...True love...

I should be getting church clothes out for the morning but I am sitting on my bed with the cool breeze of the air condtioning blowing on me...Yup that's the life..

Well I better mosey...Thanks for all the compliments on my site...Have a good night all...Toodles:)

parade and such

Dirty..Than clean..Dirty again

As I take a look at the house today, I seem to not remember it looking this dirty when I went to bed last night..Somehow every one of the baby's sippy cups seems to be dirty....The living in the basement seems to have had a major tornadic storm blow thru...And my upstairs living room..Well..I wont even mentioned that one..All three of my bathrooms are in need of some "special attention"...I guess that is what happens when aliens come in the night and drain you of all your enegry, because yesterday I really did nothing..And it shows today...Oh boy..

The baby seems to get mad everything someone takes a ball away from her..She thinks every ball on this Earth is hers...Yup..She owns them all..So remember that!!

Here is a dirty little story about my torrid past:)
When I was about..Lets say 10.( I am not for sure on this one..Please forgive me)..Me and a friend of mine named Laurie..Well we were out playing together..This was when kids could acctulaly ride bikes around town and play for hours without being kidnapped....We were over playing by the hospital. There was a little lame playground over there...One of us decided it would be fun to go take a look in the gift shop, so we did..
Well to make a long story short we stole stuff...I stole one of those real fuzzy little balls with the little beady eyes...You no what I mean?...Anyway..Laurie did her share and stole some things...Well after that sticky finger encounter ..We felt like pros..So we headed up to the local pharmacy...

And there we continued our rath of the five finger discount..I think I stole some chapstick..lipgloss...Everything a 10 year old needs...

I get back home, and my mother sees all my new items..And she asks where I got them..I told her Laurie bought them..Well being my mom and lauries mom were best buddies..That was a BIG MISTAKE....To make another long story short our parents turned us in..We had to go to the pharmacy and return the items we stole...The guy had the cops there and everything...That was the start and last of my rap sheet...I could of have been quite the little criminal..But I have since changed my ways:)

Have a good weekend...I will check in on you all later....Toodles

somedays I just don't know any better..Live and learn is what I always say

Today I feel like an alien may have probed me in the night and sucked every bit of energy I have. I swear, I almost felt paralyzed with fatigue all day..I did not even go to the fireworks tonight..(I know the 4th was Monday..We are having our watercade festival this week)..I am laying up here in bed with the trusty laptop..I am hoping by morning I will have even a spec of energy..

I am going to attempt to mow my lawn tomorw.although it is suppose to be about 95 degrees outside..This will be my first time since my "accident"..That is what I refer to it as now..So embarrassing saying I fell down my basement stairs..And my beautiful treadmill sits there..It is so ironic the day it finally gets fixed I have an "accident" that forbids me from walking.
I am going to try and get out on the bike too..I think I can do that..I am getting around pretty good...But walking is the biggest problem..Still sore...But I am getting better..

I am convinced my kids are addicted to fighting with eachother..I can hear them screaming and yelling as they are "playing" in the basement...I get to the point I don't even bother to holler down to see what is going on...I know I am going to get 2 different stories so why even bother...Unless there is blood...They can handle their own fights...Am I wrong?

I have also come to realize I am emotionally unstable...Yup...Not sure how I came to that..Or even why...But that is what I am thinking...Could just be pms...Either way..It bites..

I have another story...I know how we all love this..(gagging)..
Back about a year ago..Maybe not that long ago...My hubby and I had to fly here to Minnealpolis to meet with our realetor to start looking for our home. (which the bugger started off showing us million dollar homes..I mean come on buddy I drive a 2003 dodge caravan..Not a roles Royce)..anyhoo as we are driving thru the city site seeing I get a call from my oldest..Actually we were lost..I will admit it...
My mom, who was in charge of my spawns for the weekend had set him up to call and tell me this...Your gonna love this one I swear....
Zach: "mom..Becky had to call 911..(my kids call my mom by her first name..Not sure why..But they do)
ME:.."WHAT"
ZACH"..SHE GOT EMMA CAUGHT IN THE STROLLER AND COULDN'T GET HER OUT"
ME:"ARE YOU KIDDING ME"
ZACH:"NO MOM THE COPS WERE REALLY HERE"
ME:"PUT BECKY ON THE PHONE"

I am not sure exactly what happen..But she somehow got my baby caught up in her stroller and could not get her out...This is my family:)

Well I better get along to bed..The aliens may be back to get what I have left..I swear this time I will get pictures...Toodles

Run away,,run far away..Hey wait..I am not allowed to cross the road

Ok now that I got my pitty post out of the way this morning I thought I would get back to old style and add a witty and amusing story from the past,,I know how you love those..LOL

When I was about 6 I had decided it was time to get my own place. My parents were just way too Bossy and would not let me live my life...I had to obey the rules, go to school, do my chores..ya no stuff that every kid hates...
One day I had enough, I told my mom I was leaving..Running away and she would never see the likes of me ever again..I stomped upstairs and packed my little brown suitcase..I packed only the necessities to live on..Such as towels, barbeis, doll clothes, and I think my Michael Jackson microphone...

I head down the steps and am headed out the door...I swing open the front door and run down the steps...I am free..I am finally moving out, getting on with my life..
As I walk down the side walk to the corner..Something hits me...I am not allowed to cross the street..Crap how the heck am I gonna get my own place if I can not cross the road?..That posed a problem..I walked from corner to corner pondering how to get around this problem...I must have walked up and down my street for close to an hour..I knew if I were to cross the road I would be spanked..But I am running away..So how would she know...Well my mom seemed to me at the time to know everything..She would find out..She would find my new home and walk right in and spank me..I just knew it...

Well to avoid all the drama I decided I better just stay at her place...When I walked in the door my mom asked why I didn't run away, I told her that was I was not allowed to cross the street..So I would wait a few more years....I think that was for the best..Not sure how I would of acquired my milk money if not for living there.....

I know one of these days one of my kids will try and run away...I just hope they are better packers than I was..:)...Toodles

Not moving off couch today!!

I have decided that under no circumstances will I answer the door and or phone.(unless it is someone I wanna talk to:)...I need a day to just do nothing, but when you have 3 small spawns and a dog..Someone is always wanting something..

Now as I tried falling alseep last night I had more thoughts run thru my head....Like: when you check your site meter and see lots of folks stopped by but none of them left you a comment, does that mean they think you suck? Of a person does not return a reply to an email..Does that mean you suck?...

Anyhoo.I am crazy and I know it..At least I can admit I am crazy..And I had another Wiggle dream...I swear I never can look at the blue wiggle the same..I know what he can do..And it isn't for children's viewing let me tell you...

Why don't any of my old friends I had way back when call anymore?..Has this happen to anyone else?..Or am I the only one that sucks?...I always thought of myself as a good friend.Very loyal..I can keep a secret..I had a bunch of really close friends back in the day..Now I have one..And her and I hadn't talked for a good 10 years..And we just now stared talking about 6 or 7 months ago...Sometimes I feel like the biggest loser..I do not go out with any girlfriends..As I have none...The only friend I have is back in the homeland..And I only got to see her once for like half an hour...I think she is going thru a rough time right now..Wish I could be there for her...

If you haven't guessed it is pour Christina day..Sorry...I have a splitting headache for the second day in a row...So very tired....And my house seemed to be overtaken by flies while we were gone on our trip..I killed like 20 yesterday..And they are still flying everywhere..

And thank you for those of you who said you would meet me..That was nice...Made me smile:)
I will write something better later..So check back..Right now I am tapped and the baby wants out of her highchair..And I need to go polish off a box of coco pebbles..(not something I would normally consume, but hey, I am having one of those days)....
Have a good one..Toodls

Rat a tap..Ring a ding..I am moving and disconnecting my phone

So I finally am able to lay Emma down..Hence I can lay down now. Not more than 10 minutes later I hear a knocking at my door. Being the fool I am I get up to see who it is..It is not like I get a lot of people knocking on my door..I don't even no anyone...And I see it is a young man...He is cute..And I already know he is wanting to sell me something...I tell him "if you are selling anything I am not buying anything"..But he keeps on talking..And because he is cute I keep listieing...He is a student and going to attend Michigan State..He is from Grand Rapids..I know where they it is so I tell him I am from Michigan..Love Michigan ya no:)...We talk for a few I still tell him I am not buying anything..He keeps on..Finally I tell him I have no checkbook with me as my hubby took it to work(which was a lie)..He says well you can pay me cash..Then I proceed to tell him I do not make any money at my job so I have no cash..hee hee...Finally he leaves..

I get settled back on my couch and my phone rings..Normally I look to see who is calling before I answer because I so hate telemarketers...Why did I put my name on the Do Not Call regisrty anyway?...I get this same call about 3 times a week.. It is a call for a person who does not live here..A creditor..I am so sick of it..No matter how many times we tell them they have the wrong number..The still call..So of there is a ZACHARY ROSENBERG OUT THERE..PLEASE PAY YOUR $45 SO YOUR CREDITORS STOP CALLING MY HOUSE...THANK YOU..

Then I get back to my couch..Ring ring..I get it ..Again...."Is Mr. So and so there"..I say "no can I take a message"..They say "is this Mrs so and so"..I say "yes"....Then I hear.."I am not trying to sell anything I just want to know if you have a few minutes to take a survey"...So I say"..If I had a few minutes to take a survey I would of called you"...Then I hang up...I know that was not lady like or very Christian of me...But I can only take so much in one day...
By this time the baby is awake and wanting lunch...I so give up...Toodles

Can not sleep..Am I wishy washy

It is 12:28am cst..I can not sleep. I do suffer from extreme insomnia ever since I had part of a gland removed..So this is no big deal. But I am laying here in bed wondering what is wrong with me..I start going thro things in my head..For instance...
I have always considered myself a liberal..I vote democrat..I am for equal rights for all humans..Yet I did vote for George Bush(only once though)..I am against abortion yet for stem cell research....I am for separation of church and state yet think prayer should be allowed in schools..(even public school)..I am for family gatherings..Yet hate traveling to get there..
I am against meeting folks from the internet..( I don't trust anyone)..Yet think it would be cool to meet some folks I blog with..

I consider myself an educated woman..I have went to college for a number of years, but have yet to graduate..I know nearly every dieseae and how to diagnose it..Can draw blood..Start an IV..Tell what I am looking at under a microscope..
But yet can not look if my child is bleeding...

What is wrong with me..Is all of this normal?..Am I just worrying about all of this because I know I have to get up with the baby in a few hours yet have not got a wink of sleep yet...Is the fact I have taken nearly 30 vicoden in less than a week mean I am addicted?..(really I have been in a lot of pain)..

Help me....

Well I am off to try and catch a few winks..I have photos posted below..Please check them out...Toodles:)

There is no place like home...

It is about time...We pulled in our driveway around 3:30pm local time Wed.

After many nervous breakdowns, we finally made it...really I am not meant to travel..I know this now...Good thing to find out...Never knew I was so paranoid and breakdwon matarial...but I am...

I think everyone had a good time...It didnt seem like we had enouhg time to do everything we wanted to do...but hense, I am not going back anytime soon.
The drive would kill me:)

I have leanred that maybe flying there isnt such a bad idea...save my heart palpations that is for sure...

Nothing really excieitng happen whikle I was gone..Not many funny stories to tell..or at least I can not remeber any....I came home and relaized we had a power outage while we were gone..other than that...Not much..The cat was happy to see us and the dog was happy to be out of the car....

I think that next time we plan a vacation.....I may have to stay..home I do not travel well....Like fine china...:)

Well I hope everyone is well....I am going to catch up on some blog reading tongiht....I havent forgot about anyone..Just very tired....I am putting the kids to bed early tongiht....and do my reading and try to get some sleep...
I will check back later..Toodles:)

Getting closer to home..I can smell it

We are on the way home from "the homeland"..(that is the thumb of Michigan for those of you wondering)..WE drove about 8 hours today..So that mean about 8 tomorrow..Ugh!!!

So last night my littest spawn starts to whimper..I let it go..Hoping she settles herself down..But it grows louder into a cry..I have the hubby turn on the light to find her puking her guts out...Yup..All over her little portable crib and pillow..I pick her up and she continues to heave on the floor..I get the mess all cleaned up..And decide she is gonna lay with me..So I can watch to make sure she don't puke again..After an hour she was fine..thank goodness..

than on the way home the middle spawn has a tummyache..drats will it ever end?

WE had a goodtime with everyone..Kids fought a lot..But what else is new?
I will post some photos when I get home..

I am eating my chicken teryiki sub from Subway..Oh there is a heaven..LOL

Cant wait to get home..Take care all..Toodles

Homeland doing well

Just wanted to say "greetings" from the homeland..
Over visiting my mother..usinf her computer to get my blogging fix..hee hee.

Leaving Tuesday for home..Not looking forward to the 16 hour drive back to home...

Some things I have learned over the last few days...
1. My oldest daughter is part octopus..well at least at night..I slept in the same bed with her in the motel on the way here..and she kicked me and poked me wiht my limbs than any one human should have..

2.Listeing to The Wiggles in the car is not the same as watching it on tv..

3.I would rather have a root canal or birth a cow than drive thru Chicago..

4.I am a horriably bad back seat driver..Bad enough I think my hubby wanted to drop me off ont he side of the raod...

Well...I will add more later...take care all...have a good Holiday..:)Toodles

Hello...hope you all are having a good holiday..We got here about 4pm Friday afternoon..
