Pondering thought

I am not sure about you but I rarely get on face book. I like it because I get to talk to all my old girlfriends from home but I still try to limit my waste of time. Unless of course it is one of those can't sleep kinda nights, or I am bored and have time to peek. I do have several friends that I feel like if I were a stalker or any other bad thing that walks around I would know where to find you, what you are doing, and how you do it. Some people just give way to much information and probably innocently I am sure but none the less still giving it out. Also, the other thing is I have several friends who do this crap too... example post: "Oh I am so lonely and I can't wait for that bottle of Vino tonight" the neagative nelly attention wanting kinda folks that you know all 236 so called friends you got on face book are going to say "awww bo bo you ok". So I heard this the other day and it goes hand in hand and it is sooo true...
Don't tell people your problems 80% of them don't care and the other 20% well they are glad you got the problems.

Oh my...

Not sure about ya'll but I am so sick of this garbage about the Balloon kid & Where the Wild Things are movie. If you haven't heard the news it goes something like this... balloon kids parents came up with a huge ploy to become famous by putting their kid in the attic and telling the world he was in this balloon and might die. Using their kids to become famous and all the news coverage came from having the kids lie to authorities, TV shows, etc. The other story is around The Wild Things movie being too scary for kids... REALLY? I have heard several comments about how Max bites his mom before he runs away...is causing bad behavior in the kids going to see this movie. Yeah, I would blame the movie too and not your bad parenting skills.

We love our children and we think they're the most precious little monkeys ever created, and so naturally we want to protect them. And we should protect them from some things -- predators, disease, abuse, etc. But we shouldn't protect them from ALL things. And we certainly can't protect them from life. And part of life is getting scared now and then and even maybe being that kid who didn't get a trophy..humm, you lost honey you can try harder next time. In time, we learn to separate reality from fantasy and figure out this is life and there are hard times.

I miss the way our world used to be where the parents didn't really worry about the kids being so "comfortable" I know they didn't want them hurt but still could tell scary stories, let them out of their sight to ride their bikes until dark, play smear the queer without being politically incorrect, pop your kid in the mouth when they talked back without getting CPS called on you. I think it is time for this old world to get back to the basics you aren't going to get famous you fool. Kids are going to get scared and see things way worse than this movie... plus every kid I know grew up reading this book and we all turned out just perfect.Well besides this little twitch I have from getting my mouth popped from talking back and maybe some of that lead I had for dinner. :0)

2 Little Monkeys

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed,

One fell off and bumped his head.

Mama called the Doctor and the Doctor said,"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

"Put those monkeys straight to bed!"

We taught this song to Cooper over the weekend.... cause he was "Bouncey Bouncey" on our bed.. so when I sang this song to him... he looked at me a little confused..shook his little finger and said "no no no mommy me not ump my head..baby Uke" "why me bed me good boy"

ok so I had to laugh as this one was funny...not sure Luke stands a chance.

Ahhhh Ha

So I had a big ole Ahh Ha moment this morning as we woke up to 46 degree temperatures. Yikes. Brrr Rabbit as my 2 year old was saying. FOR REAL I have been prego for 3 years... well the winter I wasn't prego I was still wearing prego clothes I guess. So here is how my morning has gone... one pair, two pair, three pair of jeans poof don't fit... now what? So I dug into the stack of skinnier jeans. So here is the deal after 2 kiddos and still quite a bit of post baby weight to loose. People some how forget to tell you when you sign up for babies that you get this flap thing it is so gross and doesn't fit in one damn pair of jeans you have to go up a size to fit it in with everything else. I promise I have enough I don't need extra... So anyway I didn't have to revert to yoga pants...as my girlfriend once told me you know you are fat when all you wear is yoga pants so every time I wear them around the house I have visions of her preaching that to me. Around the house is ok though... momma gotta be comfy. Anyway on with the morning... I go for a cute pre prego shirt that has long sleeves.. yeah looks like a hot dog shoved in a cellophane wrapper. Finally, I found something kinda falls in the cute group but heck it will do... add some bling and gone. Then came the shoes...really the feet change too after kids...umm well yeah I guess so I gained 60 pounds with the first and 20 with the second and with the first kiddo swelled up like a big ole pig. Forgot for a minute my feet had to carry all that around.. so I am not sure what they are doing now but I can't seem to wear my shoes I loved so much. After 2 babies and only 16 months apart and almost a whole nuther person added to my pre baby body this momma looks like a train wreck. I will get it back I just know it... but shewww weeeee mean while I gotta take this body of flab to da store and find some clothes to cover it up and some shoes to carry it all around.
BTW did I tell you I love my babies and wouldn't trade them for the pre skinny body anyway.

Icky Sticks

Let me start by telling you I was raised by 2 smokers and in a state that keeps the tobacco industry in business. I have never smoked myself, but can still tell you about my silent research project as I have paid more attention to this population over the past year or so... I have my 2 year old telling his NaNa and PaPa "ewww Icky Sticks" everytime they light up in hopes they quit some day.
So here is what I don't understand if you have ever meet a smoker they will start by telling you they are "quitting" then they will talk to you about how the government is taking away their rights... they raise the price of cigarettes, you can't smoke in public places,blagh blagh ,blagh. So as I have been gathering information here is a good reason SOMEONE needs to take away their rights... First of all you never throw away your butts instead you throw them on the ground where ever they may land. Where I work they moved this whole population out to the sidewalk... thank god away from the doors. Now they walk out there and spend 30 min puffing away and bam throw it down..it looks like paper confetti out there. So really you have the right to go smoke 5 times a day 2and a half hours plus a lunch break. humm Next thing I don't get people drive down the road with their windows cracked or down smoking and their hand doesn't move from that window to ensure the smoke is going out the window...REALLY maybe you should roll it up and take in ALL that nicotine. If you don't want it in your car you think the rest of us want to smell it? Then once again they cant put it out in their car and carry around the butt in the ole ash tray (not many new cars even have an ash tray, get the hint?) they throw it out the window. So here is another thing.. I am glad they quit the smoking in restaurants... it never fails a smoker has to be the fastest eater on earth.. I look up and just got my steak cut and the smoker is saying as they have already lit their cigarette.."umm you don't mind do ya?" little late there don't ya think? as you get a smoke ring in your face. For the most part as a kid I never really noticed any of this I just went along with my parents and thought all was good... but now as an adult with my own little ones. I just don't get this population of folks they seem to get more and more disrespectful of my rights as a non-smoker. I have a ton of friends who smoke, I have friends who are closet smokers, I have friends who chew the gum... they are all my friends doesn't mean I agree and I tell them, too.
Smokers spend a fortune a month on smoking, it is filling up their lungs like suet, most of the ones I know have an awful cough sounds like they are going to loose a lung, I think you infringe on the rights of those who are not smokers, your home smells god awful, your breath stinks and you can smell you a coming, you liter the place we live with those dern butts and the smoke itself. Most of all it is interesting that most of them never see any of this as an issue..they are so used to the habit now that is is all normal life. When you mention it again you hear " oh I am cutting back, or quitting" yeah right! I even have a girlfriend who goes as far as to buy the gum that is 30 bucks a box and she goes thru a box of gum in 2 days... really??

So to the damn smoker who was under a umbrella blocking the door in the pouring down rain this morning to get one last puff off a damn stick that is killen your ass.... get the hell in your car roll the windows up and choke.. I don't want to have to walk thru the crap nor do I want to have to step on the butt as I leave for lunch. I have rights too ya know....

Spider Webs

You will have to bear with me on this story but it is too funny not to share... I have to tell Cooper that when we go to the doctor they look in his nose for Spider webs and in his ears for frogs. Crazy I know but hey he is 2 and a mommy just has to do whatever to let the doctor take a look. So the other night Cooper and I were laying in our bed and he jumps up on his knees and says

"hey mommy des what?"
"What Cooper?"
"me tinger it has tarp toint"..see as he pokes at my arm.
Oh your finger has a sharp point on it....
"Des Mam"
Well how did that get there?
"Me Chop Chop"
Oh you been biting on your finger nails?
"Des mam"
Cooper who taught you that?
"NaNa"
Cooper your naNa did no such thing as to teach you to bite your finger nails
Des she Did mommy..but but but me no spider web daus it poka poka poka
he makes this funny face and heads towards his nose...
Cooper are you trying to pick your nose and can't because of the finger nail.
"Des Mam"
OMG at this point I cant quit laughing.... he is so serious

OMG

ok so our Saturday started off just fine and well for that matter ended fine BUT it was the early morning that made this mommy CrAZy.... Have you ever tried to go clothes shopping with a 2 year old.. someone should have warned me. Cooper wasnt bad so to speak but he is TWO... and the whole I am done trying on clothes last a total of 20 seconds. Cooper is super skinny and kinda tall for his age, I guess. So we hit every store in the mall looking for jeans. NO LUCK. I am not sure how I am going to fix this issue but if you see my kid wrapped in towels with duct tape holding them on him you will for sure know why...

Football Saturdays

At our house Saturdays are fun filled days FULL of football... I love football don't get me wrong but sometimes I would love to just see Texas get beat ..even if it does mean my husband pouts around the house the rest of the day. Somehow some way they always pull a rabbit out of the hat... last weekend was a perfect example REALLY a non ranked team is beating you at half time and you are #2 in the country... come on something is wrong here with this picture..I'm just saying... I think it is a little bit of over ranking going on combined with a mickey mouse schedule. I am going shopping this weekend during the game so hopefully OU will readjust the longhorns pants for them...Either way I snapped this picture of all my boys cheering on the longhorns....soo cute!!~

Witches

We had to make an emergency call last night to PaPa as he knows all about witches.
My 2 year old ran to the back door and looked out very intently then ran back into the living room and told his daddy the Witches were coming... UH?? It wasn't long after that Cooper got in trouble and his daddy was sending him to time out. Well Coopers time out is on the step down into the living room so if the foyer light isn't on it is somewhat dark on the step. Cooper got the quiver lip and had a terrified look in his eyes and almost busted out a tear telling his daddy how he couldn't go over to time out the witches were coming. We both looked at each other very confused turned the light on and Cooper still went to time out, BUT where did he get this from.. the older kids at school probably. I just hate that my 2 year old seems like he is leaning towards NOT liking Halloween just like his mommy. I am still crossing my fingers this is a phase of being scared of the dark and it too shall pass. For his sake I sure hope soooooo...

My LOVE.....

So I have to tell you for some reason I simply LOVE this place... I could eat there every single night and it never even bother me. I am not sure if it is the atmosphere or just the good food... I know I know there are much better steak houses in this town but for the money it is hard to beat The Outback. Not to mention the big ole beers... and the thunder from downunder to top it all off. I am so craving me some Outback. I love my kiddos and my hubby but some days it is nice to go sit at the bar and take in ALL that this place has to offer without even having to tell someone to sit a million times or answer any questions..LOL Ahhh weird form of relaxation but it is mine for sure....

Ahhhh yes!~

It may be Monday and it may be raining and cold outside... but I feel like this spring frog... I am so glad to be out of the house and everyone feeling better even if it is just to go to work. I know alot of banks celebrate Columbus day but for some reason our daycare decided they needed to celebrate too. So thank goodness for Aunt Gickers & Uncle Steven they came to the rescue this morning. Cooper thought he was in heaven as they came equipped with breakfast tacos and twuptakes for later... Aunt Gickers Twuptakes... day da best in Texas!!~

me and my boys~

All piled up on the couch watchin Pete's Dragon AGAIN~

Flu Flu Go away !~

I tell ya it has been a rough week at our house we have all been sick with the flu. We are feeling somewhat better but still our peditrician says to keep the boys in for at least 7 days. I didn't realize they could still spread it without running a fever... but yep they can. I don't want to pass the flu germs around and for anyone else to get it for sure! Plus, Tamaflu really doesn't taste good and the mommy and daddy can't even take it cause of the supply demand. Niice. Looks like with our house having such a high risk little guy we could all get the bad tasting expensive stuff. Either way I hope we are on the mend...
I think I have cabin fever in addition to the flu..the rain is holding us back some and it is nice sleeping weather but not many in our house have slept without being woke up by "toughin" or sweats from a fever. Cooper ask me this morning if he had to go to the "dwoctor.. no twicks mommy me cry"..bless his heart he has told us his hair hurts.. and he has had numerous sticks up the nose. I hope the boys get to feelin better and we all see sunshine by the weekend.

Enough Already...

Can we please, for the love of God and all things good, get Jon and Kate and their 8 out of the spotlight?

Jon Gosselin is not a celebrity!

Jon Gosselin is a pudgy dork who had too many kids with the wrong woman and somehow scored a reality show.It's enough already.It is mildly amusing that now that his name was dropped from the show (it was finally going to be Kate plus Eight, as I'm sure she's always dreamed) that he's all indignant about the forced child slave labor of his kids. It was fine for all those years, huh? Yeah. Sure.So sick of these ten. I feel for the kids, but mostly I'm just tired of all of it.

My Wittle Pun'kins

As most of you know we have been on lock down sharing germs... everyone in the house has the flu except for Da Daddy. Luke seems to smile no matter what and Cooper well he just wants his mommy when he is sick (he has had the worst of it this time)... it has been a super long weekend following a super crazy week but none the less...my little pun'kins still looks cute all dressed up ready for Halloween. Sick or not dernit!
I have to say after 2 and a half years Cooper has never been this sick. Cooper never really had to go to the doctor for anything I think maybe he has had 2 ear infections... so this has to be the sickest he has ever been, normally he gets drug along cause of his little brother... I was expecting another trip to the emergency room with Luke cause he couldn't breath or something to do with this preemie junk as it seems to follow us around, not Cooper...but after a long rough night on Saturday with no sleep and it continued to get worse Sunday he was retracting in his neck and was fighting to breath we went on in to see "da dWOCtor"... and thank goodness we did... "they" say 5-10 days of this junk.. damn I hope "they" once again don't know what they are talking about. I am convinced mommies are much better doctors than those we have around this area... ugh!!

HeyyBB

lt all steams from this one picture...
I was on the phone with my dad and Cooper got excited cause his daddy had printed this picture of Dusty (Cooper's Horse) out really big ...so my dad ask Cooper where he got the picture and he says "All-Art" for those of you who don't talk two year old that is Wal-Mart. Well, I thought that was funny so I went ahead and ask Cooper " Coop, Where did we get Luke" my two year old comedian of a child turns around and holds his little hands up and as serious as he can be says "UH, Hey BB" in adult language that translates to HEB (the grocery store chain here in Texas) so I guess next time we decide we want a baby we can just go down to the local HEB and pick one up. Shewww I wish I had of known that a few years ago.. LOL.
