A New Low

Okay seriously… As a Woman as an American I am getting just too pissed about my simple privacy taken away. I today just learned about this. Now maybe it’s been out for a bit and I don’t considerer myself sheltered but I don’t watch the news much anymore. It seems to me that just about everything the report is sad, angry and devastating. A true showing of our national decline and our fractured society. This is NOT a X Ray it's a full body scan and you can eaisily see well, every thing.....

I don’t watch because I am burring my head in the sand I don’t watch because I try to have the few moments of blissful not knowing. Or being in denial for the moment. LoL

I cannot ignore this. This is just lame and not okay with me. No matter what it’s coming. It’s happening because our “Government” says so and gives ---> their <--- two thumbs up. I’m glad they can make such a decision to step in and show their goods to the world.

It won’t stop it though. It won’t end this madness of people putting bombs who knows where and trying to hurt others with them. This is the crazy world we live in. Now it’s sunk to a new low. Our Mothers Fathers Grandmothers Grandfathers and Children are going to be paraded in front of these things to detect a “threat”.

The real issue is that some way somehow this too will fail. These maniacs will find another way. What is it next??? What other way do we get molested to be safe????

One very short year ago Today….

The day is January 10th 2009 John and I at this time we had just finally left for dinner.

On this night we headed out for our 4th year anniversary celebration. It was two days till Nathaniel’s big surgery and we both needed some relaxing together time. Time to emotionally escape and regroup. It had been a long time since we were just us.

This night was blown away we thought by my Sister and her boyfriend being late to rescue us from our sweet boys for the night. We had lost our reservations at our restaurant. We were stressed, and trying to salvage the night by any means. It was, by a land slide. We had a great dinner, drinks and laughs. Forgetting our stresses and worries we relaxed and enjoyed our rare alone time. That night arriving home from a fantastic dinner we celebrated some more *wink wink* not knowing at the time that I had just received the best surprise anniversary gift possible. A gift not known yet not expected but very welcomed. This is the anniversary of Christian. Today one year ago our last and final sweet heart was conceived. I look at him now and am just in awe of him. How different our lives are with him, how wonderful it is. What a gift. 

Happy LATE New Year!!!

The decorations are gone the sales are over. Wow 2010 has already been a whirl wind!! I am glad to finally have things sorta back to normal though. Since then I have in full effect started my journey to a smaller more fit me. Yep I’m on a diet.
I started a few things to get this on the go. I’ve began writing down my food. Upped my intake of the good old H2O and made my pledge to The Biggest Loser!! http://www.pfpchallenge.com/ You can do this too if interested. I like it because really it’s like killing two birds with one stone. Sorry for the expression :o).

I hope by doing this I will run out of excesses to derail myself. Mostly it seemed to be the never ending Holiday parties, get togethers and DESERTS!!!!! It never seemed to stop. But we are away from those holidays now and moving on to the next Valentine’s Day… great…. Yet another holiday with junk food and candy. Can’t a girl catch a break!!? lol
Any who, looking forward to what this year unfolds! It will be a great one, I can feel it.

The Holiday Sabotage

I’ve been trying so hard to lose some of this pre & post baby weight. I was doing pretty good then it hit…. Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Ice cream, Homemade Candies and FUDGE!!! But most of all Holiday Parties!!! The battle of the bulge has been declared!

What do I just not go?? Go Cold Turkey?? Shut myself up in the house lol Too late!! It’s almost over at least. Christmas is Friday and then I can get away from it. Right??

Funny, I use to have self control during the holidays but now… none. I suppose now it’s the time to quit sweets. So like most of America lol the world… I’ll start January 1st 2010! I am still on my goal of Back to me by May or pretty darn close to it. For now I’ll blame it on my pants… they shrunk darn it! ;o)

Life sure is Great!

I love days like today. Woke up greeted me babies and Husband. Relaxed a bit while doing some morning dishes. Made some pancakes and eggs…. Good times.

John is gone with the baby for his first outing alone at Fry’s. He has done this with all our boys. A rite of passage he says. I think it a great excuse for him to go to Fry’s. Brave of him though during Christmas season. He also plans to go to Target. Better him and not me lol!!

Now for a while I’ve been playing games with my two oldest. It’s been fun. I love they let me play with them. They love this one particular game Let’s Go Fishing. I have to admit it I also love this game. I use to play it when I was little too. Crazy how a game has been around so long I’m 35. Not that that is terribly old but I’d say a long staying for a simple children’s game. It was too funny.. Johnpaul actually somehow managed to get his finger caught by one of the fish. Silly kid.


Any who it’s a mellow beginning to what may prove to be a crazy evening. We have a family get together tonight……

Where is the Christmas Spirit??

Okay so people can be irritating during the holidays. The traffic the rushing the general crazy to get that one special gift.

It drives me nuts every year that the meaning of what is Christmas has been lost. It’s about the cost the amount the quantities!!! People rushing into to buy that perfect gift for their loved one having no issue of hurting harming or being rude as hell to someone for it.

Christmas and it’s true meaning is lost.

Today was a perfect example of this.

I’m out with my three children at our local Target store. I stop a sales associate to ask a question about a item, I should say that I am in the Christmas section lol When this “Gentleman” I use this loosely with him stops behind us with his cart. He’s huffing and puffing and showing his best distain that we are stopped in the isle. I turn to him and say “Sir you may want to go around, we are going to be a moment and I don’t want to be parted from my children.” It was at this moment that his true sprit comes out…. He rushed passed while almost running over my 2 year old and mutters mot quite under his breath ”Bitch…”

Okay NOT okay!!! So I quickly acknowledge it with “And you have a very Merry Christmas too Sir!”

Holy crap people! Really??? This man was looked to be in his 70’s!!! Now I know he’s old enough to know better.

Yep…. Christmas has taken a huge turn for “Badsville”.
Lame… Oh well not going to change or ruin my holiday!! At the very least it’s a strange story to tell people right??

Almost ready......

How do you get ready for the holidays?? Is it putting up the tree?? Buying gifts?? Family Pictures are done??Or is it sending out those Christmas cards that does it for you?? Baking cookies??

This year it’s all of the above. For the very first time in well.. forever I am READY!!!!

Last night I bought my last gift. This morning I licked my last envelope. Now off to the post office with me. Next week Friday is Christmas. Now all I have to do is wrap gifts. With the three crazies I have I think I’ll wait for that just a couple of days prior to giving them. I could just see it now…. Come down stairs to be greeted with I’m sorry Mama from Johnpaul…. Or the confused stair from Nathaniel.

So this is how it will go…. Let’s Play Christmas Party the 16th, Johnpaul’s Christmas Pageant, Family comes in on the 19th, Christmas Party on the 20th, over to my Sister’s for Christmas Eve and then Christmas is here!!!

Exhale……
