GReat!

This past weekend  my hubby and I took our little children for a little vaca. We took them a few hours away from home. They enjoyed a water park, zoo, and museum. The water park smelled like wet dog. I was so worried the whole time about them. I watched a show on Oprah about "Dry Drowning". Way to stress out us mom's even more. If you don't know... basically its when you playplayplay fun in water and some small bit of water gets into the lungs. A few hours later, death. AHHHHH! As if I don't have ENOUGH to worry about. The kids were sporting some very germy life jackets that were allowed by the park. But, it still didn't prevent their falls in the water. God was with us, kids a-o-k. We had a great time.
My husband and I don't leave home often. We were worried about finding a Catholic Church in the area we were visiting for mass. I checked out masstimes.org and had an idea of local mass times. The greatness of our church, its the same mass. Same traditions. Even though different location, we had the feeling that we were at our home church. The beauty-- no matter what location or space in time---now or 1000 years from now....The Catholic mass will be the same. That's how Jesus set it up.
My children seemed to need to say "Hello Jesus" "Goodbye Jesus" so so so LOUD. We definitely made our presence known.They did a great job.
So incredibly sleepy. Off to get another water vodka. I miss my kids.Really miss them. Have to work though. WORD.

A big thanks to AWAG at Our Happy Married life for flipping this award to me. Awag has been my RLF since college. Its probably best that I was dating my husband when AWAG and I met. Otherwise, I cant imagine what adventures we would have encountered. We did a lot just in the small amount of time we actually got to spend together.  You are a great friend. Love you lots.

Herr it....Here it goes.

1. I am terrified of divorce. My mom is on her 3rd marriage. I have this theory that couples get divorce at10 years. My husband and I have been married 7. I don't believe in divorce. But, I still fear. I just continue to pray to God for  increased faith in HIM. That's what it boils down to folks!

2. Love making lists. I must be prepared. Although my moms didn't love me enough to let me be a girl scout. She would say..."Ugh, you'd have to be away from home and camp". I was not a camp type girl. Bugs and bears are not my thing. Peeing in random places...yes mos' def.


3. I love to knit. I am terrible. One of my clients taught me last year. I do it for me. I make "anti theft " scarves. Cause taint  nobody stealin' those. They are beauty challenged.

4.  I am constantly thinking of different businesses or products to develop. Hurts my brain.

5. Last year at 29, I was told I had a stroke.(Hence learning to knit..if I was old enough to have a stroke I thought I should start knitting too) Sorry Jet and Awag, you've heard this mess. After 5 months of thinking I would die any moment, I  was all clear. I have a blood disorder that is being monitored and few other hiccups. No big shakes. So now you really know why I could rock a Bret.


6. I love listening to Catholic Cd's or radio. I am listening to http://www.relevantradio.com/ right now. LOVE IT. I also subscibe to the cd of the month club. Changed my life. I love my faith. Thrilled that I am Catholic. Need to be a better witness... not perfect. I know it. Still working on it.

7. I do not have a facebook, my space, twitter. UGH. I didn't talk to many people in high school so why now?

8. I don't drink pop, soda, fizzy lifting drinks. Basically water and booze(on occasion :)) Love Piesporter, Moscat, Riesling wine.


9. Led Zeppelin is my most favorite band eva. I love the guitar. I can play guitar a little. My dad can sure rock out though. He taught himself.


10. I want to have at least 2 more kids. I hope God will bless us.


Ok.... nominations.. I don't know any other bloggers who I am not scared to give this to. All of my other bloggy friends have already splat it.

Don't hold the Mayo!

Mayo was great. My boy was a trooper. God was with us the whole way.

The drive was fun. We go lost so often.In fact, we could have started our own "lost" show.  Everywhere we stopped I was sure we were a blink away from getting mugged. But again, God watched over us. We stopped several places on our journey. I had the best, I mean BEST food eva in Madison, Wi. at the Old Fashioned. It was rockin and organic. I am so jelly of the Madison , Wi vibe. The exact environment I would like to raise my children. BTW..why don't I have a Trader Joes where I live. I will totally be a close to perfect( cough hack) mother if I could shop more often at my lovey lovey Trader Joes. Everything organic-y and cool. I am sad just thinking about how much I miss Bret Michael's Trader Joes.

Shicka loo, we also stopped in Chi town for a little Mag-Mile action. We (my moms, son, myself) decided to get a bra fitting at My Intimacy. This is that rockin bra fit shop that my girl Oprah featured on her show. So moms and I went for a fitting. My son was in the room with me. Threw a major fit... BECAUSE some chick does a "holistic" fitting..... OH yeah...close to ...lets feel you up to see what size you are.!!!!!  So, my son was mad this lady was touching my "privates". But, she didn't leave. They put the bra's on, nip and tuck. Then proceed to tell you how cute you look. How vulnerable I felt all neked. Agree?. Now, I had  have a stack of cute $90-$200 priced bras to choose from. Oh yea...they DON'T offer a 0% financing. Because a girl has got to finance to by these bad boys.
All in all, it was fun. I did get a few cute bras. My moms was thrilled. Her monkey jumpers need bigger cages then mine. So, her bras were $200+ a piece. She was so happy. Her clothes DID look so much different. No joke... she did look skinnier.

AWAG- Thanks for the award. I appreciate it. I will hang my hat on it tomorrow.

Now, I hope to get my business and life back on track. With answers under my belt about my baby. I can think clearer on what needs to be done. I keep praying that God will lead the way! Peace out.

I am alive. Hope to post soon.

Dear Person who hates their job.

Do your job!  Is it that awful that I am asking you to send me medical records. Is it unimaginable that I might want them for our trip to Mayo. What is wrong in your life today that its just like ridiculous green elephants to ask for something  SO easy. Shum-on! 
If you hate your job. Do something else. If you cant attempt to do it. QUIT! You are not doing anyone any favors mulling around like you are dying just being there. Work is work. There are jobs that people do love. How can you be so awful to other humans?
We are all dealing with something. (Seems like my theme) I always keep that in mind when I am not treated the way I would treat someone else. However, if you are in a customer service job. You are supposed to at least help. Forget the fact that you might hate your job, I AM  A HUMAN BEING!  I will always, even in anger, treat others with respect.
I am not even going to mention that said job hater is lucky to even have a job. Rant rant rant. The end.

When it rains it pours....Really? Yes, we all have situations we would rather not deal with. I am heartbroken when I see a friend that is hurting, or even worse my babies. The last year, has been a Noah's Ark year. But guess what. I have been closer to God  more than ever. I have sobbed thinking" Does God make my son sick, so I will be closer to him?"  " Is God "punishing" him so I will grow in my faith"   A bit selfish to think that I am that important to God that he would have to punish my son with an illness for me. But, maybe that was the only way I would listen. God doesn't punish. I have to see the good in the trials my son is going through. The only rationalization I can make is that it's happening so I will be stronger in my faith.

It could be worse? Yes it could!!!!! I know this. I thank God everyday that its not. That we somewhat have an idea of what might be happening.  My son could have something very terrible ( i don't want to even type it) But, when our family goes through his illness, its hard to see WORSE. So if someone says to you "It could be worse" Give them credit for what they are going through NOW. We don't want it to get worse. God's gives us warnings. Wake up calls. To be in his light. So if it does get worse. He will walk it with us.

On to superficial stuff... I grew up in a town of about 2400. This past weekend was a little fair for the town. Seems like if you were conceived in said town, you have to come back to the fair. So, my hubby, and 3 little ones oblige. The kids LOVED the rides ( only safe ones, i wouldn't let them ride the roller coaster HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE KIDS NECKS WHIP IN THOSE BAD BOYS) Anyway, my three talented children were skilled enough to win 5 goldfish. Unfortunately, we are down to three. My baby girl says " Wha Waaaaaa" When she sees one dead. 

Are you still friends with people you knew in high school? My husband and I graduated from the same school. I never talk to any one anymore. But he greets them like they are his long lost friends. I saw so many of my closest friends from high school...but we didn't even acknowledge each other. I didn't feel the need to because, frankly they were crappy friends. Very fake. I swear I wasn't. I don't have much of a poker face.
I know my BFF AWAG totally keeps all of her friends. But maybe she can take more crap than I can. I just couldn't. It is hands down the right thing to do...be nice to others/ see God in them. But man oh man. It pretty hard to see God in some of those girls who NEVA had my back. Not that I am reliving high school :)
Maybe it's different for boys.I will chalk it up to that.

Work is sucking wind. Kind of hard to do anything with the impending trip to Mayo for my Big Boy next week.  God has plans... God has plans.. I will keep telling myself this :) PEACE.

Worth it?

I don't care. I'm gonna talk about Bret. VH1 aired the first episode of his new show. I will definitely be tuning in. Because its great to watch tv that you don't have to think about.

It was a pretty nice Memorial Day weekend.  AWAG- I got permission to go an hour away to a spa with my moms and sister. We had a great time.(only gone for 25 1/2 hours) Drank too many coronas and wine(not together). But can you believe it, my MOM was hit on the entire night. We got drinks bought for us the WHOLE night. Because of my MOMS. WHAT? I was busy asking any guy who looked at my sis " Are you Catholic?" "Wanna marry my sister?" I am so sure that was annoying... but fruitful. She met (i believe) a nice boy whom she has been texting all weekend. HOLLA. My sister will graduate from Chiropractor school in a few  months. So proud of her. We had a great time. Laughed a whole bunch. Played Wii. Crazy fun had by all. A much needed break. Cant wait for the next one in 6 years.

Back to work. Go do something :)
