Over it.

Yesterday,  I went to the all-American mother's store Wally World. Bought shampoo that came with a sample of the new Elnite hairspray. No wonder they are giving it away for free. It is awful. Doesn't hold anything up. Smells like my grandma's hairspray (kisses) NOT WORTH $14. I will stick with my lovely smelling, bump keep upper, Pureology hairspray. I did have to take a small loan out to buy it though. What ev. Its only money.gag.
I have decided with out a doubt, to make my way over to the organic food life. Maybe I am a bad mom because I haven't already done so. Most of the hesitation is not knowing enough about what you are buying and should buy. I hate the chemicals in our food today. I HATE feeding that crud to my precious babies. So, slowly but Aunt Shirley, I will get there. I am hoping this will change our family's health.
Not much to report. My customers don't even show up for appointments to tell me disgusting stories like you Awag. I love those that I stay late for and they dont show. Real nice.
I don't understand over spenders. I save. I save like a baseball player on third.But I spend too. I just cant get over the big screens, big cars, big everythings that people have. It all results in BIG debt and little retirements. Get your elephants in a row. Do what you are supposed to do. Over it. Word.

Whatever it is I think I see...Becomes a Tootsie Roll to me!

My tummy hurts. Could it possibly be the 904+ Tootsie rolls I just ate? I normally don't have bulk quantity's hanging around. But today my Big Boy son and I had to get ready for a school party tomorrow. So now I must eat all of the remaining  tootsie rolls before someone else does! 
This morning my Big Boy and I went to daily mass. He loves to get out of the house just he and I. He did everything the priest did during mass. I always try to point out the Eucharist to my kids. I make sure they know "Jesus is in the house!" Today, I asked my BigBoy " Did you feel Jesus in your heart?" He said "No, I didn't, but I did feel that big bump" At least he felt something :)
Talk about that super kid that survived the plane crash out of 103 people. Check the odds on that one. I cant imagine what that 10 year old's life will be like. Not only surviving the crash, more than likely lost family members, but being the only survivor. My whole life would be ......Why did I survive? I'd better do something special? I am just amazed by this story and the life a head of this little one.
I will be giving a speech today about being a "superwomen" Women who work and have kids. The theme is "you can have it all" I really don't believe it. I do feel I have the best job a mother can have. But, I am constantly feeling guilt for not being with my kids. I am always stressed about the success of my business. Stressed about not being with my kids.Stressed about people who drop their stress off to me to dry clean. Ugh! My kids are already 2, 2 and 4. Its so speed of light fast. Advice- Give yourself a darn break. You are doing your best. Be with your babies as much as you can. Know that you are working to provide college and lots of toys. BTW- AWAG- I am the worstest grammor people ever. I hates the spelling and was no newspaper edittoring lover. Sorry to you. Hope you like the blog. Go to church.

This post is just not into me....

As Mother's Day approached, I made sure to coach my 4 year old son on what to buy mommy.
" Sweetheart, all mommy wants is a ring with LOTS of diamonds"
His response " Is 10 a lot?"
"Yes, honey 10 diamonds is perfect".
My baby boy..." Well, mama, if I cant find that one I will give you something like it"
Tons of kisses later he and his father left to find me my perfect gift.  After opening all of the boxes on the display and carefully counting all of the "diamonds"  My baby boy brought home the most lovely ring. He was certain that I would like it because it is in a shape of an animal and has LOTS of diamonds.
Also, I just wanted to give you a heads up on the best EVA nail polish.
Well worth the 5+ dollars spent!
                                                  Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure

This nail polish lives up to all of expectations. I feel skinny just wearing it. Stop at Wally world, buy and shout to a sista if you love it.

Happy Mother's Day

Before motherhood, I wasted time. I didn’t value what I had been blessed with. By nature, a planner, I seemed to always look into the future as to when my life would begin. My first son was born and it all changed. Now, I realize how quickly life passes us by. He is four now and I have 2 two year olds. The dreams I had as a child are happening now. I have my husband, home and children. I know that this IS my life. I am living it NOW. I am present. I cherish every minute I have with all three of my children. I cling to each moment. I am constantly aware that swiftly, I will be longing for just one brief chance to relive these times.


I stopped waiting to do activities with my children, I make time now. This is their childhood. These are the times they will remember me as their mother. I will fill it with love, play dough, chocolate cake, picnics and tons of kisses.

Being a mother smacks me alive with understanding what I have been blessed with. I am enlightened about what life is. We all have struggles, being a mother isn’t easy, life isn’t easy. But the looks on my kids’ faces when I come home, handfuls of dandelions, crayon marks on the wall, dirty food faces make me so enriched. I am consistently surprised by the little characteristics I see in each of my children that remind me of myself and my husband.

Being their mother is a great gift. All parents say their kids grow too fast, but they are growing with the pace of life. I am so blessed to be walking through the paces of life one little footstep at a time, with my family.

Tune it Down Tiger you are 30 Thursday part DUEX

Your expected programming- Lash Extravaganza- will be shown next week..... Sorry for the change. :)

I am sure you've hit the tab above "next blog" . 85% of blogs seem to be momz talking about their kids poop or missing teeth. I adore my children. But they adore their privacy. I will keep them under the blanket (thanks Micheal Jackson). Another 8% is the extreme holy roller type.3% is stuff  I like and actually pertains to me.... Then there is the wackiest scariest craziest extreme weirdness of the world. I am sheltered for real. I totally admit it. I was shocked to see a blog about an atheist mom.... I know get over it. What was disheartening was the SEVERAL blogs about death and wanting to die. OUCH!

Worse... these are everyday people I am sure I live my life around. Its not that I don't want to be around them. People aren't their true selves in the "real world"  Shall I say FAKE?Maybe we don't see the hurt, anguish, distrust in the everyday run of the mill human encounter. Too occupied with our own junk. But, in the blog world, its whale wide mouth open for everyone to peer into.  I will try to be more mindful, understand that people I encounter maybe hiding a  loony bin person underneath. Also, I  more aware of the hurt the other may be experiencing. 

What is the kookiest weirdest blog you have encountered? Any frightening? Am I weired for being weirded out? That is a positive.

Side note, Brettdushinmeankisslove Michaels, is doing great. My bud Jet said that maybe he will put me on his bucket list. :)

Jillian Michaels VS Bret Michaels

I recently read a blog that my bff Awag told me about. http://confessionsofanexgirlfriend.wordpress.com/. Love it. Exgf is trying Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I thought I would too. So here I am  negative $8. I completed my first day. Not bad. I think I can hang. We shall see. But, I totally felt like the fat kid for sho.
There are a lot of simualrites between Jillian and my sweet Brettypoosmoockins. Here it go.
                 
 LADIES AND GENTLEMAN  MICHAELS VS MICHAELS

     Bret can shred it on the guitar( i think...) 
               Jillian shreds it in the gym
    Bret makes my heart race when he sings about thorns
            Jillian makes my heart race when she makes me fake jumprope
       Bret totally has long brown hair( died blonde! have you seen his roots?)
                Jillian also has brown hair( this post is sucking wind)
          Bret makes a lot of money off of chubthumpers like me. AKA his reality shows
                 Jillian makes a lot of money off of fatty mgilicuttys like me too.

Last but not least, I feel throwuppy after I watch them on TV. Why does Brettygushymook like those dirt-tay chicks? They are so... grace challenged. And Jillian, I was a little sick after playing her "You are almost done game" Really Jillian? I'm done now BAM!

KO.. that was painful. The post sounded better in my head. To my 3 readers out there, I plan to post the Lash-out extravaganza tomorrow. If, that is,  I can move my neck, I hurt it doing Jillian's "not in your neck crunches" Yes, told you I sound like a classic fatty. 
BTW, I know I mis-use commas. I like ........doing....leading....dots....(or whatever they are called). Sorry.

Goodbye sucky broccoli post. Off you go into the abyss. Better luck tomorrow. Stay drama free chickpea. La La L8r.
