Cruisin Down the Street in my six-fo

Mommy got a new ride....Happy Early Birthday. We decided we needed more room to stretch our family out for road trips. Well I think this Nissan Armada will do the job, Cooper was upset this morning cause his daddy takes him to school "No mommy me new tar" so we may get to go cruisen around da hood this afternoon.

Get This one....

I had a girl tell me this week she came back to work because being a stay at home mommy was to HARD she needed a break! I looked at her like she was kidding at first... and then no by the look in her eye she was serious as a heart attack. I can talk to both sides of this as I have done both (maternity leave counts my friends), I went ahead and threw her a pair of these "Big Girl Panties" and told her to put them on cause she was going to need them in a few weeks (more like days). As the story went on she proceeded to tell me that she had a mommas day out twice a week, now her boys are not that much older than mine and about the same age distance between them. I am still looking at her and almost speechless thinking she is kidding me!! No No clearly she isn't so I start asking questions... are you looking for a mommy of the year award? cause clearly you are sugar coating this pile of SHIT that is coming out of your mouth... let me get this clear... you are coming back to work cause you stay home and basically have 2 days to yourself, you are required to cook dinner for the hubby and kids every night, take care of the kiddos 3 days a week, while doing that you still have the opportunity to run all your errans, grocery shop, wash clothes, you "PICK" up your house cause you have a maid clean every other week, you also have play dates on your 3 days of supervision, you go to the pool, you go shopping (and that she does very well), you also take your kids to the gym as you work out. Oh and did I mention she has family in town to help out as needed. I am so confused really all that is HARD??

I hope this girl has alot of big girl panties cause she is going to need them... and as far as Mommy of the Year year they dont give those out to Bull Shitters my dear friend.

Seems to me she has life pretty easy and a husband that must be blind... I dont have family in town to help and I do all that plus some and still work 50+ hours a week. I workout, go to work, play with my kids, do the dishes, cook dinner, clean my own house,wash clothes, give bathes, not many playdates cause we dont seem to have time to fit all those in a 168 hour week. Please dont be confused I am not complaining I love my life and I love my kids and thank god cause my husband helps a ton...but please I just wanted to choke this girl with my own big girl panties!!

Make-Up Day

Back in the day when I was much skinnier and had hair ( had to borrow that line from the hubby) I had just moved to Texas and didn't really know anyone worked 2 jobs to keep busy and lived in a 500 sq foot apartment by myself. I used to tell people if I was a dude that apartment was so small I could sit on the couch and pee in my sink..kinda gross but you get the idea... Anyway, as you can imagine any day cooped up in that space would get old real fast. I used to have to "Make-Up" stuff to go do... so during the week I would research things around Austin... for sure make out my little maps cause anyone who knows me knows I get lost going home most days. So I found all kinds of cool things to go do.... things outside of my Box as my friend Gloria says..I went to Central Market for Oatmeal (the best in town) I actually had time to go work out on Saturday mornings and go tan, too. I used to even go sit at the airport and watch people... now that makes for a interesting day... people are just weird including myself for getting that bored. I went and watched the latest movies on super hot days, wondered out towards the lake a few times. I somehow wondered over to my favorite hangout and to this day remains my favorite and meet some of my dearest friends at... The Outback. I have spent many a $$ and drank many a beer and discussed and solved every problem in the book at that bar.

Over the weekend I was wondering hummm do Make-Up days really even exists after you exit your 20s get married and have babies cause I would sure like to have one back....

ReGaining???

Yep..I am regaining.. and not weight I am actually on the opposite side of that finally. I am regaining my sense of humor these days. Several months have gone by and I have been wondering what the hell... I have been fighting insurance people over medical bills. So I have finally come to the conclusion two can play this game...we have a half a million dollar baby on our hands LITERALLY. Somehow they have managed to code things wrong, tell us we owe this and that. Some of the things we were charged for are just crazy.. They even went as far to tell us that since my husbands birthday falls before mine his insurance should cover the first 30 days of the baby's bills..WHAT but I put the baby on my insurance now my insurance doesn't want to cover and wants someone else to cover and encoraged us to sue. Isn't that what we pay insurance for in case of an emergency and not to have such a hassle in tough times?? It has been such a pain and they all want their money yesterday.... cause you dont just get one bill there are about 15 total...just amazing. So I decided we are going to do the best we can and pay 20 bucks a month and when Luke is 95 well he might be paid for by then.... until then we will carry on with life... it is far to stressful to worry day in and day out about this stuff.

So here is the latest one... the baby has to have another surgery in Sept and they are saying it is cosmetic...he has hypospadias (look that one up) REALLY believe me if it were that he is getting a big JOHNSON and going into the porn business and we are all going to be rich.. see I told ya I am regaining it..

My New not so Favorite Drink

So I was loving these drinks at Sonic and had been driving myself by there every afternoon for a little "mommy treat". UNTIL I looked up the dreaded nutritional information...on the Strawberry Limeaides Oh Lord and I thought I was doing good with the chunked up fresh strawberries.

Calories 481
Carbs 126
Sugars 112
Can you say "Holy Cow BECKY..look at her butt..." people already say that now so yeah Sonic I don't need any more of your help. They are good but not that good... so I am back to the wild strawberry Crystal Light drop in's to my water....oooooOOooooo all craZZzzzyy.

Fort God

We finally found a new church we really like... and we like to refer to it as "Fort God"..cause well it is huge and covers a lot of ground every where you look there is another building. Cooper was all excited this weekend cause he thought we was going to get to go to the nursery. So was mommy cause there is NEVER more than just a cry room at a Catholic church. We got to church and needless to say Cooper had to sit in church like a big boy with mommy, daddy, and Luke. Church got started and Cooper was doing really well for a 2 year old...then he got a little restless so we went outside... and about that time Cooper looks over at me and says:

"Mommy.."

Yes Cooper???

"Me MAD..."

Really Cooper, well why are you mad?

Me no nursery

so I guess Cooper was pretty upset about not getting to go to the nursery at church..I am glad he is so passionate about going to church now we just need to work on why we are going I guess... after all on the way there I had ask Cooper why do we go to church? yeah my 2 year old says "eat mommy" ok not the right answer but we will work on that..

My Handsome Men !!

Luv Ya Uncle Bobby

This is a picture of my Uncle Bobby (on the left) he passed this week and his funeral is today... it is so hard being so far away and not being home with my cousins and aunt, and my own family during such tough times. He fought a hard fight against cancer...he has been sick for some time and played golf until he just couldn't play anymore. I have to say I have alot of memories of my uncle Bobby.... he always laughs... and when I say always I mean ALWAYS... I dont think I ever saw the man in a bad mood or not laughing.
A story that always comes to mind about my uncle Bobby...He and my aunt lived in a two story house and my brother and I and my 2 cousins used to bump booties down the stairs and there were a bunch of em... he would lay on the couch watchin TV at the bottom in the living room and they had those rod iron rails you could see thru..and he would roll laughin at us and never said anything to us. You know we were being loud and he never heard a word of those TV shows. Probably cause we were always putting my little brother up to going head first....humm that was a disaster waiting to happen cause there was nothing but a solid wall at the bottom.

Thanks Uncle Bobby. I am sure going to miss your laughs.
