Out touch...out of my mind

I know that I haven't been able to WOW the five readers I have lately but I have been super busy. I also got a new car. Now this is where my bytching will begin. My husband bought me a new C300 Mercedes Benz for our up coming anniversary and I just love it. It's what I've always wanted but I have noticed so not so nice things going on since I've gotten the car. You know the old saying "Never judge a book by it's cover" well I feel that happening a lot lately. My neighbors are being extra rude and snobby, I've had people I don't even know give me dirty looks (nope it's not my driving...I am a safe and awesome driver), I've had friends give me the cold shoulder when they see my car, what gives people?!? I know you might see someone driving down the street in a Mercedes or BMW or whatever car you feel is over the top or expensive but you don't know their story.

My story is really down to earth. My husband and I have had our share of hard times and massive debt, baby cost, medical bills, student loans and everything else that comes with being a middle of the road American. It has taken us YEARS to get to the point where our kids are old enough that we don't need a minivan anymore and we have really worked hard to pay off our bills. But people look at me and assume we have massive amount of money and that we think that we are better than everyone else. NOT TRUE. 

Even now as I'm writing this blog I feel the need to explain myself and get defensive. I have had people actually try to make me feel guilty because I have this car. My son is autistic, so they think that I have some how sacrificed his needs for my luxury. NOT THE CASE.

Why can't people, especially "friends" and family, just be happy that you are doing well? Why can't they just not think about it? It's not your car, money, life so what is it to you?!

I will not apologize for driving this car. I will not feel guilty for having this car. I will not care, after this blog, what people think of me anymore.

My husband and I work for what we have, we were not born rich. So like it, fine don't kiss my big round butt! 

Until next time...

    Who gives a shit what people think!! Your are so right, they don't know where you've been and what you've been through. And so what if you finally have the chance to spoil yourself a little...hell go right ahead because life's too short. Your an awesome mom and take great care of your kids. Your an awesome wife with a wonderful husband who loves you. I am so happy that you both were able to work hard for the things you have. I love you cuz & never regret anything or feel ashamed...nope, enjoy and embrace everything you have in your life. Love and miss you!!!

    P.S. If i go up to Colorado to visit, can I drive it around the neighborhood?? LOL

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...

Nail Journal Update

No, my five wonderful readers, I have not forgotten about you. I went camping! Yes, yours truly went into the woods and camped. Actually I drove through the woods to a cabin. But before you say that's not real camping. Let me elaborate. It was a one room cabin, no running electricity, no running water, no restroom. See...that is camping.  And before you say "ewww" there was an outhouse down the dirt road for us to use. Now you can say ew.  Really it wasn't so bad.  We camped out in Hermit Park by Estes Park Colorado .  So we were out there for 4 nights, 5 days. That's a lot when you have to ration water, keep your own food cold in the cooler (which this wasn't too hard since there was still snow on the ground) and figure out lighting at night. Now in all fairness, the cabin had propane lighting and a stove with a heater, Not too bad.  Why am I telling you this and what does this have to do with nails? I'll tell you.  As you ...
