No MHR this week
Instead a post just to say I need prayers and thoughts today. It could be a very big and scary day for us. We have someplace important to go and I hope all goes well for us. We are making a huge step which will help us in moving foward with our lives. Sadly both kids will be home with my Mom instead of in school so no celebrating if all goes well but at least we will have the drive home nice and quiet. Here's to hoping to good things to come and even if they dont, well it is all in his plan and I must just continue to remember that.

The things children do...
Wow is all I can say. I just have to share. Big Girl came home from school today telling me some girl from her school was appearing on TV tonight at 7:30. She gave money to Haiti instead of having a birthday party. My oh my doesn;t that make me want to cry. How sweet of this 6th grader for sharing her money for other's more needy then herself. She said she lost her Grandmother long before she could remember and after that she felt the need to help other's She donated $5,000 to the tsunami years ago as well. Now she donated $600 to haiti instead of having a birthday party. She also stated she wanted to be a sister you know a Nun but she decided against it and now want's to be a writer. I think her story is amazing and it truly teaches me something. I truly hope that I can one day have money to share for my children to learn humility and to help those less fortunate them ourselves. Until then let me go coral them as they try to kill eachother over bedtime. Ugh maybe one day I can say my children not only want to help other's but also help eachother.
Thirteen Thursday
Just my weekly random rambling. This week I made notes in my iPhone just for this post. See I am organizing well togather.
1. I love my iPhone because it keeps me even more organized. It is worth every penny we paid for it and continue to pay monthly. I am obsessed and saddened that I did not get one sooner.
2. We are still looking for places to move. The state is Florida the location is still yet to be determined but Ocala has an apartment I fell in love with. well mainly the price and the rooms and ugh I just love it. Four bedroom, three baths dining room living room but no patio/balcony. Ugh some things are just not meant to be. The mast bedroom has it's own bathroom and then one of the other bedrooms has it's own bathroom. Right up my alley and I am sure Big Girl will be thrilled once she learns that will be her room and her bathroom. Oh how I always wanted a bathroom of my own when I was younger, imagine being a teen putting on my make-up. Taking a showr and staying in my bathrobe and not having to run through the apartment. Ugh the joys and the dreams. See sometimes making something happen for your kids that you always wanted isn't all bad.
3. I have not smoked going on day 2. Woohoo sadly I have no quit I just HATE smoking in the apartment so no smoking for me. I have something to do tomorrow that will stress me out and I am sure tomorrow I will be a smoker again. I just hate the smell and the addiction. I like to be in control of what I do and smoking is something I want to quit so badly but I love to do it. Sadly I dont love the smell, the cost, the thught or anything else just enjoy the act of it. does that even make sense?
4. Nightmare's again. I had another bad dream and I woke up and scrambled for the phone to record what it was and then I fell back asleep instead.
5. A different dream which was not a nightmare although it pissed me off enough to wake up and punch Hubby in his back because how dare he. Poor man getting beat up over my dreams. So the dream must now be told. We were staying at some couples house (I dont know who this is a 7 second dream people) for some reason. It seemed Hubby had an appointment he needed to go to. Well the couple had to drive us. We all get in the car with the couple two kids. Then he couple stop because they need their dog. We are already late and it is irritating me. I dont like being late! For some reason we all get out of the car to get the dog. OK dog gotten and now some other kids (which I think were mine... no faces in my dreams for some reason) come up to us about staying and playing in the pool/ splash pad area which was right next to the house. (See what I get for all this apartment hunting all these amenities in my dreams LOL). So we get back in the car with the other two children and are about to leave. As we are walking to the car I make a statement about how much I hate that we are now late and how men make everything worse and why did her husband need to bring the dog when we are already running late. Well the wife flips on me about me being ungrateful and complaning about her husband and how dare I when they are doing us a favor. Her husband is now in the trunk of the car doing whatever and wasting even more time. It is now 15 minutes passed appointment time. I ask so how long to get where we are going and was told by the husband an hour. I freakd are you kidding me and you sat here playing games knowing what time the appointment was and were completely incosiderate. Well the wife and I had it out. I got out of the car and left. Hubby on the other hand kept his mouth shut, did not stand up for me and went with the couple to the appointment. OK I know sounds completely stupid but it pissed me off that Hubby did not stand up for me. I hit him out of frustration and then woke him and asked him if he would ever do that to me. Of course he said NO.
6. Ha now move on to Saturday, we had a birthday party of a friend. Hubby had to works o he met us there. Well he had his car which has the bikes in it since our storage room is shut down for a couple of weeks. After bowling Hubby tells me he has his car and he is going to drive home his friend since he is exhausted. Seriously are you kidding me, I dont want to walk home with the girls I want to go home with my husband and how darn rude. My friend then says sorry I asked him to. She wanted her husband driven home so he would go to sleep and she could go out. OK no problem but man oh man did it just prove, ugh yes Hubby would go with friends over me. Dream came true, in some weird way.
7. Hubby and I have been fighting over dumb things. It has kept me in a bad mood. I am sick of being petty and I want to work things out but lately nerves have gotten the best of us. I think it is the stress of the move and the possible work transfer and the kids and school and lack of money and a whole bunch of added stress. I just dontunderstand why some couples fight when they should be growing stronger and on eachother's sides during this time.
Reality TV....
8. The bachelor I have never watched it before this season but way to go Jake. I definitely think it is awesome he is kicking girls off left and right. I think it is awesome because if he knows they are not the one why keep them away from their lives and homes when you can send them home and stop living a dream. I honestly love the drama and watching this. I just dont understand how so many woman could want to vie for this man and how they think they can fall in love in a couple of months and then get engaged and live happily ever after. Oh wait we had one of those quick whirlwind dating/engagement/wedding's, but seriously look now we s

WFMW- My flat iron comb
Head on over to visit Kristen and see what works for other's on this Wednesday.
This week I have something simple to share that works wonders for me and my hair. When I was in cosmetology school ot so long ago a classmate shared her biggest secret. A flat iron comb. I saw it and laughed seriously that is some magical secret give me a break. Then all the girls wanted one and spent $15 on them. Ok they are all nuts. I just kept laughing at all of them. Fast foward to the huge beauty show. I found the flat iron comb for $5. To good to pass up. I didn't want it or need it but sure why nmot go for it. I bought it and that was that wasted money. well fast foward to a year later. It is my saviour I would spend $15 to replace it (if truly necessary but I wouldnt because I can get one for $5 people). It is awesome and it makes doing my hair second a day. Literally like days like today when Big Boy stays home with a fever and nothing more. i thought we only were going to get Big Girl from the bus stop. Then Big Boy decides he NEEDS to go to dance. Umm my hair is not done. No problem here it is my saviour my flat iron comb, it took me three seconds to straighten my hair and I was ready to walk out the door and look civil for dance and not scare the toddler's. Have I mentioned I love my flat iron brush.
There it is seriously if you straighten your hair get this easy comb it is awesome!

My Husband Rocks
Well as in the previous post I have said we are fighting a lot. This week my husband rocks because he put's up with me just as I put up with him. I guess that is a reason to rock. Ten years later we are still together and we still love eachother and we have beat all odds. It is a short post as this needs no more explaining in my eyes. We work through the rough times, enjoy the good times and we stand strong to the vows we took. We may be going through a rough moment but I know this too shall pass and we will only be that much stronger afterwards.
Thursday's Thirteen
This week instead of thirteen random things on my mind I am going to do thirteen random things about me.
1. I go back and forth between short and long hair. I always cut it short only to want it long again I go through this process every 5 or so years and as I get older my hair goes shorter each time. In October 2008 while in beauty school my hair was chopped off to the length of.... Jamie Lee Curtis's in that activia commercial. Way to short for me. Next time it will not go that short it is over a year later and I am still trying to acheive a cute hairstyle with no luck.
2. I hole grudges and hold things in more and more as I get older. I used to be a harsh biatch who would say anything on my mind no matter who it hurt. I was a kid I didn't know better. I lost a lot of friends that way and honestly I still dont care but now a days I guess I do care and I care so much that I hold things in and am scared to say anything to my friends if I think it may hurt their feelings. It is pathetic because then I get mad and explode and not necessarily on the right people.
3. My husband and I have been fighting a lot. I keep reminding myself i9t could be so much worse but I also think of how much better it could be. I try to sta calm and hold things in but I may just explode. I dont know how much I can handle and I dont want to share with friends or family because I dont want to be judged so there I said it, my husband and I are not getitng a long lately at all. But the worst part he thinks it is OK to act the way he has been acting and he see's no wrong on his end. Even worse I dont see where I am wrong so maybe I need to start realizing where I am wrong and just let it go and move on and work towards making things better.
4. I want another baby or maybe I should say I wanted another baby. We have not become pregnant which could be part of the problem but I refuse to make it the solution. But we have been trying since May 2009 to get pregnant we even tried clomid for 1 month yes only 1 because if it is meant to be it will be and I am not using any medication to force it to work. I am done trying but still have it on my mind.
5. We are aggressively looking to move by July 2010 to Florida. It is a hard transition for all of us and I am researching as best as I can. I am aggrivated a lot by Hubby not helping in this search and his lack of concern for our future which is coming so much faster then he realizes. I just keep hoping and praying things work out and keep reminding myself what is meant to be will be. Now to just put those words into play in lifw would be so much better than just saying them. I need to do what I want to do about this move and I cant force hubby to partake in the search or anything else till he is ready.
6. This is a huge year for us. We will be amrried 10 years, Big Girl will be turning 10 and I will be turning 30! I cant wait for this next year I think it will be awesome. I am so happy to be able to say I made it to 10 years with hubby because it has been a long hard road and we made it through. We grew a lot!
7. I still dont know what I want to be when I grow up. I went to scvhool for cosmetology and I think it is an awesome career but I dont know if I want to do it for the rest of my life. Sometimes I feel lost on this road of life and I feel I NEED to figure it out. I am trying to learn to let it go but when people make the comment of oh you are still home all day while the kids are in school. What do you do? How do you afford to live on one income in a two income world. I just keep reminding myself opinions are like a-holes and my husband and I have decided to live on one income bcause we want to raise our kids and nobody else. Yes it is hard and we struggle but we also have a lot to be grateful for and when I can be home with my kids I am grateful for all hubby does.
8. Hmm this is hard..... I am 5' 2" and the shortest of all my friends. Even my friends siblings who are in their teems have outgrown me. I am only taller then a few people in my life and most are under 10. Hubby has a short family as well so I wonder is poor Big Boy destined to be tiny forever. He really is small like in second grade the size of a kinder kid.
9. I have always been extremely thin. So much so that people thought I was anorexic or bulemic when I was growing up. It was horrible constantly being teased for being so thin. Now as I get older I am finally gaining weight and it is all going to my mid section. Dont get me wrong I still weigh less than your average teen but people are now wondering hmmmm is she expecting. Ummm no I gained an ounce thank you very much.
10. I TRY not to judge other's because I hate being judged. I think it is wrong for anyone to judge another and I HATE when I hear my children judging other's we are not God or any better than anyone else to judge them or their lifestyle. I sometimes find myself questioning and talking though and it pains me.
11. I love shoes, mainly boots. I am a complete boot a holic. I own more then I can wear ina week and when we move to Florida I dont think my fur knee high boots are going to be needed, but I love boots so much I dont care and will find a place to wear them even if it is just for a costume party.
12. I am a facebook addict, there I said it!
13. I am also a reality TV addict it is pathetic and each year I add more and more to my roster of horrific TV. I cant help it. I will not judge but I will watch from my home and see the drama in other's lives. Is that bad? Oh well it is one of my guilty pleasures.

WFMW Practice what you preach
For more works for me Wednesday head on over to visit Kristen. I love getting useful ideas from the wonderful ladies who join in.
For this week I had to think long and hard and then it hit me. Take your own advice. OK this may seem simple to some or maybe even very difficult but I am starting to realize I need to sit down shut up and take my own advice. Practice what I preach. Just fartin(got that one from Big Girl, nipped it in the bud as well none of that I know what you are trying to say....) shut up and listen to myself. I mean I talk enough that for darn sure.
First things first, be a better listener. OK listen listen listen all I hear are cricket's but I am listening.
Stop cursing as much, OK no problem drunken sailor stay away. Hence farting and darn.
Dont yell at the kids OH MY GOODNESS did you seriously just spill the whole gallon of milk. My sweet boy I meant to say are your all wet go change and come back and clean. Darn it boy where did you go come back and clean.... I mean sweetheart please come clean this mess you made. NOW YES I SAID NOW. Ok I cave I cant yell any longer I will just do it myself.
Speaking to a friend we decided cleaning when we see the mess is a great idea. Ugh great idea yes I know but darn it who cleans what they see that second, oh you mean most people do. Well I dont but now that my friend and I discussed it I do, and I resent having to listen because then I have to listen to myself ugh cleaning is hard work.
Just stay calm and relaxed! Plain and simple I can live longer if I stay calm and relaxed it is just life and it will go on and this too shall pass.
So this is what works for me. What works for you? Head on over check out more and join in on the fun because what works for one may work for many.

Not ME Monday!
Head on over to MckMama for more not me Monday's I am sure you will find a ton that give you a good chuckle or make you feel good and know you are not alone with what you have not done this week.
This week I did not yell at all. I aimed to not yell in 2010 and come on now let's be honest, I have children who are angels so why would I need to yell. Besides the friendly doctor gave me some good stuff to help with my non existant anxiety issues so no yelling here.
I also did not call Big Girl's doctor almost daily. I mean the man is on vacation for two weeks and we have everything we need so why only 4 pills left and my calling like a lunatic with him on vacation for two weeks now. I mean I dealt with DD and her ADHD and ODD before med's and although the med's calm her completely I do not want her o continue them so I dont continue to yell and be stressed. OK I swear not as bad as it sounds, she hate's taking the med's but she loves how she is calmer and can concentrate while on them. Oh to be in her brain for a day.
I did not regret getting my furbaby's because I love them more than anything even at 8 a.m. on a vacation day while they are freaking out to get out of the crate and play. I mean come on now, my own kids are old enough to entertain themselves and furbaby's waking me is not a big deal.
I did not tell my kid's to wait for me on numerous occassion's because what wonderful Mother would do that?
In that case I definitely did not tell hubby to wait and never remember to get back to him. I also did not continue a fight, in which we never resolved the issues but moved on since we know it is just a reoccuring issue we BOTH may need to just learn to deal with for now and move on to improve our marriage.
Not My Child Monday!
This week things my children definitely did not do.....
Big Girl did not throw a fit because she felt like it. No other reason at all she just felt like it.
Big Boy definitely did not fight me on his one chore complaining that he has soooooo much to do I mean come on 1 chore is nothing even a 2 year old can handly one thing.
Big Boy did not brag because he got an A+ on multiple tests. I mean we are all thrilled and proud and all but bragging would just be wrong especially when not everyone is so fortunate to bring home those high marks.
Big Girl did not get envious because her test score that day was not an A+ I mean of course my children are raised to be thrilled for other's even when we are feeling a bit down about ourselves.
Wow pretty simple my kids did not do only a few things this week, or at least this is all I remember of this week.

For more my husband rocks Friday's head on over to Katy-Lin and join in on the fun.
So every week I think all week what has my husband done this week that makes his rock. I mean he is an awesome supporter and Dad and husband and just an all around great guy. To pinpoint one thing each week shouldn't be hard but honestly it is, I mean he does his normal day to day things and he does them well. He helps out around the house and he does things with the kids and he stays home with the kids for me to go out and sometimes tortures himself and even joins me when I go out. So what can I tell you when I write a blog about my husband rocks. I tell you he just does, because seriously he just rocks. He rocks out on rockband with me and the kids, even to guitar hero when we had it. He cooks and cleans and even when I am the best housewife I can possibly be he still comes home and does something just because he lives here and he too want's to be a part of our home. So for all those reasons my husband rocks. my husband rocks because he is my husband and come on let's be honest who would marry a man or even woman for that matter who they dont love and they dont think rocks. What would be the point in that?

Thursday'sThirteen
1. Not being able to fall asleep early stinks.
2. Waking up early after a night of not being able to go to sleep early makes for a rough morning and a even more jumbled blog post.
3. My husband is the best.
4. His job is not, but it is a job and I am grateful he has a job to be able to pay the bills.
5. The iPhone is the best invention ever made, EVER!
6. OK maybe not ever but it is pretty awesome.
7. Moving is difficult especially when you are planning that move out of state.
8. A clean un-cluttered home makes for a clean un-cluttered mind, at least in my home.
9. I love being a housewife, I can;t stress this enough. When I get into my groove I love it even more.
10. I love being a out of home worker as well and if I could mesh both I would because there is nothing better then being able to mesh home, work, family and friends it is the best cure for many illnesses.
11. Grey's Anatomy is finally back.
12. Betty on Ugly Betty started a blog. How awesome is that for those who watch.
13. I am a blogging Mommy not a Mommy blogger. I dont do this to get my creative juices flowing, I do this because I love to journal. I am depressed and I have issues (I mean dont we all) and my blog helps to keep me sane. I love coming here and writing things down it makes a bad situation seem so irrelevant and it makes a great situation a memory that this blog will always preserve.

Works For Me Wednesday- Menu Planning Sorta
Run on over to Kristen to see more Works for Me Wednesday and what works for others.
What works for me nice and simple and something everyone probably already does. Menu planning. Not just day by day menu planning but actually writing down all that you make and buying things accordingly and then deciding the day before hmmmm what do we want for dinner tomorrow. I am not one for decided we are going to have A on Monday and B on Tuesday and so on and so on. What if I want C on Friday and A next Sunday I can do it because I still have all I need and I just make it when we are in the mood. Like tomorrow will be French Dips with Au Jus and french fries, or maybe posta pronto italiano who knows I dont but I will make something tomorrow. It was one of my goals for the New Year and last week I failed miserably and this week I am doing well for now. I wont say I am perfect but it is working for me. Also when I have dinner planned the rest of the day goes so much smoother.

Not Me Monday a day late and a dime short oh well
This is my not me Monday because I can.....
I did not forget to post a not me Monday and instead doing it ona Tuesday not me that would be lazy and forgetful and I just dont forget.
I did not drag hubby out this weekend despite him not truly wanting to go. I mean hubby would willingly go anywhere with me.
I did not go insan cleaning last week and since become a lazy person because I am already sick of cleaning.
I did not eat out 4 out of 7 days last week after aiming to not eat out as much in 2010.
But I did send hubby and Big Girl food shopping and have been cooking daily since and we will definitely be eating homecooked meals from now on.

My Husband Is The Best
Why because I said so. Sure he pisses me off and he does tons I dont like but shoot dont we all. I know for a fact I probably piss him off twice as much but such as life and we chose to cmmit to eachother and because of that we will work through anything. We love eachother and our family and our lives, although we do not love every situation we are put through. I see a lot of blogs who say oh my husband is wonderful and never a bad word. Shoot if that were me I would be fake. I love that other's can gush about eachother but in this family we like to keep it real and we like to let eachother know when something bother's us. No we dont like to argue, disagree or even fight but we do enjoy the fact that neither of us hold things back. I am meant to be my husband's servant or so say some. Sure I will serve him, I will wash his laundry and I will stand beside him in everything he does, but if I dont like it I am also going to share that bit of info. I will not stand by and pretend that I agree with everything my husband does and neither will he with me. Can I just tell you that because of that MY Husband is the best.
Did I mention I also have these two beautiful brutally honest children yeah I love them too but maybe I need to reinforce when it is OK to be so brutally honest. I think they have seen some things and misinterpretted them because we do it out of love and I think my kids sometimes do it just to be mean.
We all need to learn to be honest, with friends and loved ones and ourselves. In my opinion honesty is the best thing in the world and it builds trust. I will always try to be as honest as I can. Sometimes it is brutal but it is meant with love and hopefully those who know me know that. Those that don't I will just say sorry for you not being able to have such and honest person in your life who will let you know damn straight you butt looks big even enormous in those jeans, but c'mon now you do have a big butt. Nothing to be upset over just something to work on.

Thursday's Thirteen
I am a bit late, or maybe early. I tend to do this Wednesday night so I am on time for Thursday. Last night however I passed out so this morning will just have to do.
1. I have come to realize having ONE true wonderful, you can tell anything to at anytime even if it might offend them friend is so much more worth it then having a million who you can't share everything with. You know like Meredith and Christina on Grey's Anatomy, your person.
2. People gossip men do it, women do it, shoot I wouldn't be shocked if animals were doing it. It's like sex it just happens, unless you are a Nun or Preist.
3. People love to judge. I TRY not to judge but shoot I am human I breathe and sometimes I pass judgement. I dislike when people want to judge me and when I go to judge someone else I just think do I want to be judged. I try hard not to and when gossiping to my person I must admit I tend to name name's because honestly how can you tell a story to someone you know without stating a name, you just have to you cant use person A, B and C when talking to your person.
4. Husbands and wive's piss eachother off. That's that no explanation it is marriage and if it is not in our marriage please share your secret.
5. Reality TV has taken over. Jersey Shore is everywhere, John and Kate Plus 8.... which I must say Kate looks awesome with her new long hair. I LOVE it. I am a huge reality TV addict. I love Biggest Loser, Celebrity Rehad, all the Housewives. American Idol has fallen off for me as has So You Think You Can Dance. I want the dirt I want the shows that I can sit and say Hell yea you are more screwed over then I could ever be.
6. I notice whether you watch reality TV or not you are talking about Jersey Shore. Seriously everywhere a train wreck that continues to happen and you can't help but stare.
7. I only have my children during a full school day 6 1/2 hours a day (awake at least), I need to stop getting upset, aggravated and annoyed with them being kids. I must remember kids are kids are kids. You know what for 6 1/2 hours I can deal with anything. Now the hard part actually living up to those words.
8. For the new year I did not set resolution's why you may ask? Because when I plan I fail so instead I am aiming and so far I have not failed because I am not aiming high.
9. I enjoy being a good housewife. I enjoy my husband leaving me facebook messages when he is home telling me how wonderful the kitchen looks when I know I did not do any work in the kitchen other then daily maintannence. WooHoo, but dont tell hubby that. I mean seriously I busted my hump in there all day yesterday.
10. I dislike laundry but I love my washer and dryer. If it wasn't for them I would go insane staring at laundry. I can't wait for the day I have enough room to get the big front loader, even though after reading some blog's maybe I should love my apartment sized washer and dryer.
11. I love my children and my husband especially when they piss me off because that is when I need to remember why I love them.
12. I am still obsessed with my iPhone and now even more then last week. It has tap farm and mobsters and a whole bunch of apps facebook has 'nough said.
13. I am also obsessed with facebook, when I check for status updates and there are none I get upset and feel the need to post one or to leave facebook upset. I mean c'mon people share your life with me, what's more fun then your friend's being your reality show.
So there it is my Thursday Thirteen. I think I will need to find a way to make a pretty picture on top of my post and then maybe force some people to come visit my blog and pick up on it. Then I can get a cool McLinky and more readers and oh my goodness I could go global. If only I dream!

WFMW- Backwards Edition
For more Works-For-Me Wednesday's go over and visit Kristen.
This week it is backwards works for me Wednesday where Kristen want's us to ask a question and you girls to answer. So here goes nothing.
How do you get your dog's (if you have them) to stop barking. I mean I know they are dog's they bark but my oldest bark's at every noise and there are a lot of them since we live in an apartment building. It can be troublesome.
New Yorka's
Just random thoughts for the day....
1. Why does my New York Big Boy call everything Jim Bob, maybe Big Girl has him watching to much 18 and counting. I mean seriously Jim Bob and even more serious do your shoe's need names. BTW how am I to know which Jim Bob pair you want today get it straight at least name them Jr. or 1st,2nd,3rd. I mean how does George Foreman do this?
2. Big Girl randomly states "Jordan in my class asked me if I was spanish? I told him no I am Peurto Rican" LOL thought's running through my mind...very good but if you are so Peurto Rican why is your brother the epitomy of an Irish boy and you dont speak a word of Spanish. She then proceeds to tell me and then Becky said... but you can't even say (insert spanish saying here.... I can't remember every detail people) and DD continues to say of yeah (insert same spanish word here). Again I am LOL, I said well Big Girl does Becky speak spanish and she says yeah Mom her brother's name is Antonio. Wow that so should have told me they were a spanish speaking family.... Got to love kids.
3. Big Boy is the man, sorry I had to say it. He is in a hip hop class with all girl'sand he hated it to begin with but wanted to stay in two classes and this was one of the only one's that had the male teacher and was on a day we could go other than the all boy's class he is in on Thursday... because you wanted all that into. and he love's it. Today I saw why. He is the tiny little red head who dances so amazingly well man. Even the teacher's helper had to go over and rub his head and then ask him for a hug, a teenage girl, ugh where is my future going. Thank goodness he is shy around the girl he does "like" and wont even give her the time of day. Maybe He's Just Not That Into You was wrong and the guy who ignores you really does like you, at least when you are 7 1/2.
4. Big Girl cracks me up. The other day I told her she had a big butt, sorry just a little joke in our home, we are not big butt people but she does have a big booty for awhite partially Peurto Rican girl. So I tell her Saturday night as I am getting ready that she has a big butt and what is her reply, whatareya jealous. Ugh love the New Yawk accent. I just laughed and then proceeded to steal her boots. What they matched my outfit and were oh so comfy.
5. Yes I steal my child's clothes and then she asks to be paid, just my kids always looking for a buck. I blame this on their father he will pay them to wipe their own butt's after going to the bathroom. I love him and all but where is my cash advance?!?
6. Lastly a conversation that has been happening a lot lately. I have to laugh and before anyone goes bashing meas if someone is actually reading to bash me get over it and NOW or just stop reading. So Big Girl had a flip out New Year's Eve first during the day she flipped on a friend while at her house and kicked her and then proceeded to kick the other girl who was trying to hold her back, no she was not correct and I dealt with it but it happened so there is the first start. Then in the evening we went to my best friends house who happens to be the sister and Aunt of said victims. Well little sister and neice showed up and gave Big Girl the stink eye. A bad night waiting to happen so I forced Big Girl and Big Boy to leave and go home. Big Girl proceeded to kick me in the middle of the street and run home alone in the dark in the ghetto that we call home and ugh I wanted to scream. When I caught her I grabbed her hair, it's her weakness what can I say) and dragged her home I was taking control before someone got hurt. Needless to say I told Hubby the story and he flipped out that someone could call ACS on us. OK fine grabbing her hair possibly could be frowned upon but watching her get stolen, hit by a car, or continue to beat me could be deadly. Ugh why must he worry about what other's think so much. When on the phone with my friend we were discussing how everyone has a comment, Yell at the kids you are horrid, dont yell when they are doing something bad and you let them rule. Hit them or grab them when they cause physical harm to you or someone else... how unruly, do something about it and ACS could get called. My reaction is then come to my house, if you want to be beat go for it. I refuse to allow it and if ACS doesn;t understand that then sorry but she is my kid and far from abused. Ugh people and sometimes that includes Hubby just annoy me. I love him to death but he needs ot stand up to Big Girl she is not his Princess she acts out, she is human and a kid with ADHD and ODD and she abuses me. Do they have an ACS for parent's because I have quite a few bruises.
OK enough of my randomness just had to share my thought's maybe now at 2 a.m. I can go to bed and wake up at a decent hour.

50's Housewife
So I always see the beautiful pictures of the 50's or maybe even before housewife. She is dressed beautifully with her hair and makeup done and she is always smiling. Catch me in a picture I swear I will be smiling as well. Come on now let's get to the real nitty gritty. That was a posed picture and in reality maybe they were home cooking cleaning and everything else but I am sure even then they were in pj's on the kids days off when they didn;t need to leave the house and they even had a headache when their husband came home and were not always "ready" for the deed. Well here we are in 2010 (twenty ten) and here I am a housewife, and stay at home Mom. My little tiny I can hardly move around in apartment home is not 100% but slowly and surely I am going to get there. I plan to get into better sleeping habit's even though hubby works nights I need to learn to go to bed without him. Sure I wont get to spend as much time with him but you know what, he will then learn to wake up early and spend time with me and I will be able to get more done and not be a lazy butt all night. I started yesterday when the kids went back to school because I also plan on being more available for my kids and not telling them Mommy can't I am cleaning. I have seen many a Mom's do it and I do understand but my kids are in school from approx. 8-3 and I have all 7 hours of that to clean. Cooking is another thing and if they need me while cooking I will help them and if they dont then they can help me. I have started a plan and I am sticking to it. Yesterday was the bathroom which might I say looks amazing. Today is starting on my kitchen and by week's end my kitchen will hopefully sparkle and if not then by next week's end it will. I refuse to kill myself but I also refuse to be the 2010 housewife who does nothing. I will be proud to bring anyone over at any given moment and just need to possibly get dressed out of my pj's or house clothes. I aim to do better in 2010 and so far so good. I also plan to work out to build more muscle and hopefully gain more weiht but make it work and not just be there. So here's to 2010 and me working towards my goal. I can and will do it. I have motivation and support from a ton of friends and if we all work together I know we will all feel like better wive's Mom's and housewive's for it. So what are your goal's or aim's for the New Year?

Not Me Monday!
For more not me Monday's head on over to MckMama.
I have a weeks worth of catching up to do so let's see all the things I most definitely did not do over the winter break.
I definitely did not sleep in every chance I got.
I did not let the apartment get messy and slack on my housewife duties since the kids had off.
I did not spend days upon days in pajama's, well at least I showered.
I did not enjoy every last minute of my laziness, especially those days I did not spend in bed all day.
Now the huge not me....... I did not tell my daughter yesterday to go get her iTouch and bring it to Grandma's. When she said no I said she had to. Then I for some reason brought Santa into the mix because my best friend and I were discussing Big Girl and her son's class (they are in class together) and spoke of the kids in class stating their is no Santa. So I asked so do you believe, I heard you too said there was no Santa. Big Girl then proceeded to tell me that sadly no Mom their is no Santa and the Elf on the Shelf does nothing I move him and even in the short week we had him I fudged on that one too. I then did not nope definitely DID NOT proceed to say, then in that case Santa want's to see the iTouch she got you so bring the darn thing to Grandma's. OMG not me because come on now how messed up would that one be.
Even sadder I DID NOT get thrilled that my Big Girl does not believe in Santa anymore. Oh how I waited for this day. Now the credit can go to those that really do things, but Big Boy still believes and Big Girl know's if she ruins it Santa will give her coal and she wont test Mommy on that one.

Happy New Year!
It was a rough day and a rough night but I have rung in the New year and pray 2010 is just that much better than 2009. I made a major accomplishment not only finishing school which I started a decade before but also passing my first half of my cosmetology test. Now on to even bigger and better.
