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 :)

American Idol

First of all, I am a huge dork. Now that's out of the way....  American Idol. I have not watched it in a while, but my kids and I have tried to watch it when we remember. The finale last night was great (enough) Christina Auglieraboliiveas( I don't know how to spell her name and I am too tired to Bing it) was below average. But, she really didn't look like she was trying. Whatev. BRETT! BRETT!  He was so fragile looking. It was so cute seeing him up there. But, dude, really rest for a beat. Smoke stackin' Janet Jackson WHAT? She looked ( insert something to encompass scary, cool, solid, rich, confident). All in all entertaining. Oh, I forgot the Dane Cook part....whom I think I put before Bretydhjudmfskins. Dane was singing, then some goofybanana tool the mic and started talking about himself. Crazy fun. Love live TV.

Anyhoo. Please comment on the extent of my dork-ness. Do you think it's genetic? What are the chances of my kids getting it too?

WARNING- One small baby rant to follow-

One final thought. Are you late all of the time? Why? Do you not respect the person you are visiting or helping? Is their time not as important as yours? Do you make meetings with people and don't show up? COME ON!  In general, do what is expected of you. Show up to life. If you will be late, call. If you aren't going to show up call. Oh, while I'm at it...Don't wear mesh shirts AT ALL. No excuse for that mess.

I will be off until Tuesday. Have a very SAFE holiday. I mean SAFE. Take care. Go to Church. Wa Wha WAA.

Whoop there it is....

First I want to thank God, my family and Exgf!!!! http://confessionsofanexgirlfriend.wordpress.com/  How sweet to pass this on!

Along with the award comes with a Q&A session…



What do you do when you’re bored? Read magazines, blogs, EAT!





Are you an Autumn or a Spring?

Autumn. You cant beat the crisp evening air. The smell of leaves burning( if you don't have a city ordinance)



Quick! You’re stuck at an airport for hours, and the only options are crossword puzzles, or an old novel nobody’s ever heard of. Which do you pick?

Crosswords make me cry. HATE THEM> YES HATE!  Totally the novel.



Jane Austen or Emily Bronte?

Couldn't  tell ya! How about Oprah?



Do you feel prepared for the five other questions coming your way?

Fo Sho Maximo



Who’s your hero?
Hero... hum... Don't think I'm a kiss up... But I really look up to the Blessed Mother Mary. I take comfort in knowing that she was a mother just like me. Although her son was perfect in every way. But...I think my kids are too. Bonus round...Mother Teresa... she started her work at 40! 40! So many things I want to accomplish. Just knowing that Mother Teresa did so much and started at 40 gives me inspiration.



Favorite word?

Fo shizzle.



Are you one of those “checklist” people, or are you a “wing it and hope everything goes well” sort of person?

Who in their right mind DOESN'T have a checklist? Are they nuts? I have a checklist BOOK!



What phrase has stuck with you in your life?

" For I know the plans I have in mind for you, God declares, plans for peace, not disaster, to give you future and hope.... When you call to me and come and pray to me I will LISTEN to you"



If you were to choose between coffee and tea . . . which would you go with?

I love me some green tea! Yummo
