Score!!!

I have been searching ALL
over for a plain white dress shirt in Andys
size the last 2 weeks...
Pictures are tomrrow so I did a last ditch attempt and swang in a resale kids store today..Got a brand new shirt for $4, a black belt for $3 and while I'm not really into buying used toys ( germs and all...) I started browsing & found THIS!!!
I LOVE Taggies..but sorry..I can sew tags on for a heck of a lost less than $40!!! You cant even tell its used & it was only $9.

Yay for deals!!

The best part is, I was on the way back from the Little Tikes manufacturers..I got 2 pirate dress up outfits for $1 each, and since they're local, pick up was free!!!

Today was a good day.

Things

So..I figured..as much as I've been bitching lately..I oughta go ahead & share some things I currently am LOVING.

1- Vitamin C Toner from Pampering Delights. For you Northerners, you know how when you wake up in the morning in the winter & your so pale you look dead? (Please..dont even pretend I'm the only one this happens to..) I KID you not, I put this on after putting my contacts in, in the morning & My skin GLOWS. Typically, I just use bronzer ona daily basis, if I use this, I dont use bronzer. My skin glows with that pink "flushed" look that people get after running a mile ( or so I hear..I've never run shit in my LIFE) It is 98% Vegan Organic & a TOTAL steal at $3 a POP!!!!

2- Also from Pampering Delights.. Who I might add, I think has actually replaced my Victorias Secret body scrub... I am LOVING her Lemon Sugar scent.I've only in my whole life found ONE scent similar & it was a one time Bath & Body Works scent..
This scent is TO DIE FOR.

MY FAVORITE product from her is by far the foaming body smoothie.. Its unlike anything I've ever found in a store..It is a scrub that also lathers. It actually leaves such a moisture on your skin that I dotn shave after using it because I can literally see on my razor, the mositurizers my razor takes off!! ( this is a GOOD thing people..) lol. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her products.. I mean..I can not talk enough about how FABULOUS they are. I ordered soem "manly" scents for Mikes Christmas gifts from her & she even customized the labels on the products for me!!! Pamela is AMAZING to work with.. Oh.. and shes also my long lost twinsie.. But even if I didnt like her..I couldnt live with out her stuff.. Its truly addicting.

#3- I am loving my absolute favorite tart.. EVER. For those of you who know.. I burn tarts instead of candles..I buy from Mothers who make products in their homes to they can earn money while staying home with their kiddos, and tarts are avery popular product. My favorite tart maker is a SAAWWEEET little lady named Mandy. She owns Cat Lady Candles...I will say this.. she is actually a dog person..
I know..I was shocked too.. BUT..I understand. Cats are real assholes.
ANYWAY!!! She & I are swing mates, and she actually named a tart for me.. my FAVORITE scent.. CLOVES. Its called Claires Cloves. She told me today it keeps selling out of stock..and I know..this is just because people LOVE me SO much..it has nothing to do with the fact that she makes a really amazing product..
Okay so maybe it does..whatever.. If you like home fragrence..I STRONGLY suggest you push your Yankee candle away, and check her out. I light one tart & my ENTIRE home smells for HOURS. The scent is simple and sexy..JUST LIKE ME!! ;-)

#4-Pushing Daisies. Mike & I started watching this when it first came out.. Then Mike would "not be in the mood" so I'd miss a bunch of TIVO'd episodes..this season..I watch it A-L-O-N-E. And it is truly unlike any other show out there..it's a PERFECT Claire show. I believe I named my cat, Chuck, for the main female lead. And I also think..I am digging Lee Pace.. He's sorta hot..in a pie maker kinda way!

#5- Ryans mouth. There is just something SO perfect about a baby's breath. (well..breastfed babies atleast.. I've heard that formula stuff is pretty nasty!) Its a sweet, sour milk sort of scent..And I admit it..I straight up put my nose to Ryans open mouth & HUFF. Yes...I am a mouth huffer. And I'm proud of it!! If I could bottle that scent I'd make bazillions..there is nothing sweeter than a babys breath.. And dont think I'm crazy..TONS of other women think the same ( some even like breastfed poop... I'm not THAT nuts..Ryans smelled like chedder chex mix!!!!!)

..Thats all for now.. I'ms till ppreeetttyy cranky over here, So, be thankful you got this.

I have to get back to my life now.. Hopefully none of you will be joining me soon.
(yet another thing I LOVED.. Paris Hiltons my New BFF!!!)

Free Advice

...The next time you'll have to pay for it.. ok??

#1- Answer your phone "Hello" or "Hi" even. DONT SAY "What?" Its rude, tacky & disrespectful. It takes the same amount of energy, yet doesnt make people feel like crap.

#2- Be nice to your kids. Someday, they will be choosing the people who wipe your ass for you.

What a stud muffin..

I had Andy try on his picture clothes today..

He is just TOO handsome!!

Tis the season...

..So here is MY holiday wish list

1. -Trade husband for seeing eye/trained helper dog. Those puppies are SWEET.
2. -Wii plus Wii Fit.. to get rid of the extras my sweet boys left me with.
3. Calorie free chocolate. ( What.. no one has created that yet?????)

See?? I dont ask for much!!

I've been reasonably nice this year.. I give to charity when I can.I make my husband do my parents big yard of leaves so they dont have to rake themselves when I really could use his help at home, I dont litter, I care about the environment. I give advice whenever asked to help people with problems & I never complain that they dont listen, I just keep wasting my time politely!! I do lots of good things.. SO!

Santa.. Dont be an asshole. Kay??

I am SO over you.

I am SERIOUSLY over people who use me, people who take me for granted,and people who walk all over me.



I am SO over the people who "expect" things of you. Who dont consider, HEY!! I have a life to attend to to.. oh.. no no no.. let me take care of YOURS.. MINE can wait, of course!!!



I am over people who GUILT you. I "joke" guilt with Mike (IE- "Ohh..its okay.... I'll just pass out from hunger so you can watch this TV show...Just try to shake me when its over so I can eat..") But the people who truly CONSTANTLY have a "poooorrr me" about everything so you just feel guiltily obligated..THEY SUCK.



I am over people who are CHEAP. It is ONLY money. The whole "you cant take it with you" is popular for a REASON. If you need to remind people of gifts they've been given, or favors you've done, or basically be a cheap ass. Heres the deal for me.. Dont get me ANYTHING. Dont give me anything, dont DO anything for me. Because THAT, is wasted when you later bitch about it/hold it over my head/complain/whine/moan.

I'm not saying "go nuts: with buying things, I'd be perfectly fine if no one ever bought me or gave me a gift again. Its the attitude I dont like, the ((scoff)) Well I got you_____"

Wow..and I really appreciated that, I'm REALLY sorry I twisted your am until you had no choice to get me __ and now your obviously remorseful. Seriously?? STFU.





I am over the "friends" who dont have ANYTHING to say to me unless oh!! THEY NEED SOMETHING.



I am over the whole "but they're family" thing. THIS one my friends, has been a LONG time coming, I've just never had a "reason" to put it in writing. If you had a friend, who called you names/who treated you badly/who hurt your feelings/stole from you/etc.. You would NOT keep them in your life...RIGHT??

I cant think of a sane person who would say "Please, more!!" So WHY does EVERYONE always say "well.. they're my mom/dad/sister/brother.." like its OKAY to let someone treat you like this??

WHO CARES. Wow.. I mean..gosh.. I'm having a bad day..I guess I'm going to go kick my sister in the face because HEY!! She'll forgive me.. I mean..we ARE family after all!!! Well..my sister is so nice she'd probably cry apologizing for whatever she did to make me kick her in the face.. But a typical person would say "Wow.. F you..You kicked me in the face.. Dont talk to me again!"

So why do people keep negative, hurtful,m even abusive people in their lives when they BRING THEM DOWN, for NO other reason than, they are family??For example.. I love my mom & all but if she treated me super SUPER shitty.. mother or not..I dont need that in my life..and hell, I'd HOPE my family would do the same to ME!!!

Sorry..I just dont buy it.



I'm over people who offend you, you kindly tell them "Look..when you do ___ it upsets me for ___ reason" and they KEEP doing it. Or, when you even give people a heads up "Hey..I'm feeling a bit sensitive about ____ could you not bring it up so I dont feel even worse than I already do?? And not only do they bring it up..but over the next few months, or even YEAR.. they REPETIVELY bring it up.. Despite how many times you ask..either they DONT GET IT. Or they dont CARE. I dont know which is worse.



To sum it up.....





I'm over people who...

• act like they're your kids parents


• give too much advice


• are rude about parenting choices


• are offensive/think they know it all


• know NOTHING


• dont do research on their own


• are mean to animals


• take someones word as best & dont question things


• kick dogs


• eat soft eggs ((gag))


• act like fart jokes arent funny


• cant take JOKES


• are assholes


• work in customer service/with the public who have gigantic sticks up their asses


• dont brush their teeth..seriosuly dude.. Gross.


• get all up in my busssiness


• pronounce it "li-barry" LI-BRA-RY


• saw "worsh" ..where is there a R is WASH???


• dont wash their face in the morning..when I was little.. I mean like..third grade, the kids with eye boogers.. Gross.. HTF hard is it to wash your face?? COME ON.


• snort snot. BLOW PEOPLE, BLOW. This is why tissues were created!!!!


• use me


• guilt me


• are cheap ( not cheap as in.. penny saving but like "OMG..I spent $5 on this for you!!!" @@


• people who just dont "get it".. EVER.


• People who THINK they "get it" but..REALLY really REALLY..D-O-N-T

And last but not least..

I am SO over people who are just plain fucking stupid.

I'm off to read God's blog..I see he was making something in the microwave last update...

Well! LOTS to catch up on.. I started a new medication this last week that has this minor little side effect, called.. Trouble breathing.
So.. I've been feeling pretty bad lately, hopefully we'll get it all cleared up today when I go to the doctor!!

Lets see.. Ryan is just getting over Roseola. Yucko! He had his well check & he weighs a bit over 20lbs and is almost 31 inches tall. He is quite advanced physically, as we already knew & she was shocked at what an easy going baby he is ( she knows Andy, haha!)

Andy is really putting together LOTS of words.. he tells me to put my coffee down when I only offer him one hand to jump & am holding my cup in the other.. He is pretty much forming sentences that make sense, all on his own. Its pretty cool. He's also learning all the lyrics to his 2 favorite songs, "All I wanna Do" by Sugarland and his "car song" 'Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts. He does the motions they do in the videos, sings, dances & plays guitar right along with them!

Mike is at the end of the semester, lets all cross fingers he aces exams!!! Then he has about a month of break to be at home.. all day.. with US!!!! ..Poor guy...

Chuck the cat is doing quite well.. other than chewing & playing with EVERYTHING b/c Andy keeps losing her toys.. she's really good. Ryan is in LOOOVEE with the cats.. he gets SO excited to see them & when he catches one for a pet, its probably the highlight of his little life so far.

I'd say Andy is having a liitttllee trouble with sharing & being gentle lately..he means well, of course. I think we really need an Andy date before too long, to just spend on him.

We are taking the boys Friday for professional pictures. I've never taken them before this, so I'm pretty excited! I wont spoilt it by saying what they're wearing..but.. I'm expecting it to be PRETTY cute!!!! I hope it goes well & Andy gives NICE smiles ;-)

Mike & I saw Twilight yesterday. It was good..but I am always dissapointed with movies after I've read the book.. I expect a bit TOO much. I think Little Women is the only one that I've perfectly loved the movie as the book.

Getting excited fpr Christmas over here!! I'm thinking we arent going to put up a big tree this year.. Ryan is too into things & I could se ehim pulling it over on himself, or the kitten climbing it.. Our house is TOO small for that!!

Andy has adopted an old bracelet of mine..its covered in tiny jingle bells. He LUURVVEES it.. Hes sitting on my lap right now stroking it, jingling it & telling me how pretty it is and singing Life Is a Highway. he also has a new love for pockets.. He tries to put anything he can in them..things much much MUCH bigger than the pockets themselves.. He's a sweet boy, my Andy.

Well.. Its time to get back to cleaning.. I guess I've sat here attempting to breath for long enough..Silly breathing..Like its a necessity or something crazy!!!!
