Fire alarms and fish

Don't you just hate it when your smoke alarm battery is running low and you get that annoying chirping sound? Try that crap at 2:45 in the freakin' morning! Aaahhhh!!! That happened the other day. So I asked my wonderful hubby to change the battery. I had moved to the sofa that night cause I could not take the noise. My sofa is big and fluffy and hurts like hell to sleep on. Oh and I'm a tosser when I sleep. Try that on a sofa. Hello floor.  So, the next night I went to bed excited to get some sleep in own bedroom. Then 2:30am CHIRP! WTF! Now, I love my hubby but I yanked him out a deep sleep to ask if he did indeed change the battery. He told me that he ran out of time to do it and forgot. Dammit. There I went again with my pillows and a blanket to the sofa. Another awful night of sleep. He did change the battery the next day since I nagged him until he couldn't take it anymore. Finally I was able to get some sleep in my own bed and stopped being so grouchy. Every...

Toys R Me

Friday my hubby and I got up early, took the kids to school and went for a Venti Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks. It was awesome. Usually I don't get to spend alone time with him until the weekend and even then the kids are home. We decided to go to ToysRUs to get some fun stuff for our son's Easter basket. Unfortunately, they opened at 9:30 and it was only nine. Now right about now you're probably thinking Why the hell do I care about this? Just indulge me for a minute I do have a point, of sorts. So as we were waiting in the car for ToysRUs to open, we saw many, many cars pull up and also wait for this store to open. My hubby and I were totally surprised that there were that many people waiting at 9:30 in the morning to buy toys. As the manager opened the door, letting the small crowd that had formed in to the store,  we noticed seven yes seven (7) cars zoom into the parking lot and park. I was in shock. Was there a sale that was going on that I didn't know about? H...

Hurry up, wait and get hormonal

Here lately I feel like I am marking time. Standing still just waiting for my life to hurry up and start. I know that is the worst way to view my situation but it's what I feel. I start my real estate classes in the middle of next month and until that time I am just waiting. I know that I should be using my time wisely and getting all the stuff done that I need to do before I get too busy and that's why I have been exercising. I am, again, trying to lose weight and get healthy after my bout of flu. I have been working out and trying to get more movement into my day but I am having a problem with my sweet tooth. It seems that every time I eat "clean" (organic) I end up having this terrible sweet tooth. Then when I indulge in sweets, I get sick. I feel strange. My eyes feel like there is air being blown in them and I feel a definite mood change. What the hell? I feel sometimes like I am falling apart. I am looking forward to May when I see a doctor that specializes in ...

Coughing, sneezing and fevers...oh my!

Hello my five readers I have missed you. I have been violently ill with the flu for the past two weeks and was obviously unable to write down my deepest thoughts for you to enjoy. After these two weeks I have come to the terrible realization that I have never had the flu before. I thought I had but these past two weeks have made any sickness I have had in the past look like a simple 24 hour bug. Of course I am the only one in the family that did not get a flu shot. Yes, you read that right. I had heard that this year's flu was a mean strain and so I bullied my whole family into getting one. I even got my son to get his flu shot and was there to catch him as he fainted dead away on the floor. I felt bad about that, of course, but I felt some since of relief knowing I did what was best for him. As most mother's know, it's hard to find time for yourself and that's where I fell through the cracks. I meant to get my shot but as usual I put myself low on the priority list an...

The sick and the sickos **WARNING GRAPHIC**

This past week has been crazy for many reasons. Monday started out good but ended with some very unexpected twists. First the weekend snow, we got 10 inches, kinda had us locked inside. The garage doors were frozen shut and we could not open them. Luckily my hubby's car was outside and we were able to go places we needed to go. Even with all the snow, the kids did not get a snow day. That was OK with me. Hubby worked from home and I was thrilled to have some alone time with him even if he was working.  We picked up our son after school and remembered that he had a play date with two of his friends. We changed and took them to the rec center to play. Since there were three boys to watch my hubby and I decided to tag team the exercising. I let him go first. As I sat in the play room watching the boys play, the youngest of our team decided that he was not interested in playtime. So he kept me company watching Micky on my phone. All seemed to be going well until loud crying filled...

Fox but no Friends

I don't usually allow my dander to get worked up over something I see on television but I have to say this was out of the ordinary. A friend of mine sent me a clip showing Fox weekend anchors Tucker Carlson, Ainsley Earhardt and Clayton Morris all talking without thinking. This was Fox news and it is widely known that this station's level of journalistic integrity is extremely low but this was bad even for them. It seems, without having any real news to report-because there is nothing really going on the world-the three amigos decided to cast their ill spoken views on the University of Missouri's new policies on Pagan holidays. Clayton showed off his master of mishap sayings by mocking the fact that if you were to join a religion Paganism would be the best one due to the amount of holidays the religion celebrates. He went on to acknowledge that the Pagans that he has met are peaceful, earth-loving worshipers. Clayton should think twice before he speaks about religions...

Love and Death. A Valentine's Day journal entry

Before I start this blog I have to say Happy Valentine's day to everyone out there. It is a very special day to many women I know (myself included) and I hope that everyone out there got what they wanted...love. I know that there are many holidays in the year and that there are many special days to different people but for me Valentine's day is the holiday I hold dearest to my heart. Yes, even more than Halloween or my birthday...scary. Today I had a wonderful and thoughtful day. First, I woke to the wonderful smell of coffee. When I went down stairs I saw the enormous "Happy Valentine's Day" balloon and pink roses my husband bought me. I love pink roses they are my favorite.  He also got me a huge box of chocolates in a beautiful red heart container. Yum. We got the kids ready and sent them off to school to spend the rest of the day together. We made our way to the local IHOP (International House of Pancakes) for some breakfast. Now as my five readers know I...
