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:)

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:)
