Tuesday...Tuesday.....

Well Cat is ok. She doesn't know if she has a town to go back to, but she and her family are safe. Does anyone have any info on Slidel and what it's like there. If you do...maybe you dould go to Cat's blog and pass on some info. We do have a unique little network of people to pass info.

I couldn't imagine not knowing if my home were still there, let alone my town. I've been sitting here this morning numb from the stories on tv. I'm a softie. I feel, I cry, give money to the poor, and just wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm the I love you girl. I mean it, though. I don't just throw it out there. Sooooo to see this devastation is so sad. Thank God for the Z and Dr Feel Good. LOL!

I woke up and read Mama Duck this morning. She's one of my top 3 reads every morning. In the midst of all this she can give me a poignant story and a good laugh all at once. According to our friend Erik, he wants us all to know that pictures and cds would be on his list to run with, but you know good porn is hard to replace. :) Love the levity we give one another.

Maire, sweetie, take a deep breathe and just breathe.

I have more to be thankful for today, but hunnies...i'm on cup of coffee #2. I need at least 3 for all this Mooshy stuff I'm about to bestow on you all!

Oh and PS...if I read one more "7" meme with Jon Bon Jovi as a CRUSH...I'm totally going to gag ladies! LOL!

Hi Friends...I don't have much.

Hi friends. I hope all our Southern Friends are safe and well. I'm so sad that so much destruction is happening. I am here watching the news and ready for the impending storm with My kids and Mother in law.

Oh yes...tomorrow all the kids in Middle Tennesse are out of school. Hmmmm. I will inside my home with Mother In Law, three kids, two dogs and let's see...the hubby thinks his dentist is still showing up for his appointment. Men!!!

Well, I'm cooking dinner (home made pizza.) It's good, but I'd kill a to not be cooking in the kitchen. Oh and I'm having a cup of coffee to wake my ass up.

On a lighter note, do you guys know the singer David Gray? If you don't you should. He's awesome. TOTALLY AWESOME! He has a new album (or should we say CD) tomorrow and let me see...I'm ready to go to ITUNES and buy it. Ok..just wanted to pass that on to you.
XOXO

SPF ..... Come on play!





Welcome to another edition of SPF, thanks to our cutie Kristine! Go over and check it out. Let us know if you played so we can check out your "HOOD!"

1. Eyesore in the neighborhood: Now we really have tight HOA rules, but there is this one house. The house itself is nice enough, but this particular lot has been driving me crazy. Look closely you'll notice no grass! It's been like that for 3 months! Now...they had a perfectly nice lawn before they got a hair up their ass and decided to rip up all the lawn! Ugh...I sooooo don't get it.

2. The signage in the neighborhood: I posted this little shopping place. It is at the enterance to our massive subdivision. However, take a look at the "Harvet Market." Come on..I think we need one more beer or cigarette poster in the front window. LOL...Come on, you think so too! It's just tacky!

3. Caught in the act: Yes, my friends...that is me in "traffic" southern style. It's a little two lane road on the way to a school with construction and more homes going in. It's bumper to bumper. Hmmmm, before the houses don't you think they should widen the road a little? That would mean they would have to shop down some of those hick looking trees. Someone, please explain above ground wires and lines! LOL! No I'm not a west coast snob....ok maybe I am a little.

PS...I enjoy you all so much. I look forward to connecting with my friends every day. I love you all!

XOXO

My World is Crazy #498

* Mommy, I'm not going to ride the bus and you can't make me! (from Ava)
* Mommy, Kelsey won't pick up the doggie poopy and if I do I'll gag. It's on the pee pee pad, but it looks like a gross little chocolate. GET UP ALREADY! (from AVA)
* Mommy...Ava is being a little brat. Is it ok if I say Brat. She really is one. Can't she see I'm getting ready. If I pick up the poop, then I'll smell like dog turds. (lovely kelsey)
* Mommy...Where's my wiggle outfit. MOMMMMMMY MOOOOOMMMMMY I need my Wiggles Belt. Get up already!(Sam)

Finally the husband says....LEAVE MOMMY ALONE. Let her get up first.

Yes, friends...I was still in bed for all of this. It was 5:55 AM! Ava runs off and slams our bedroom door.
*Fine...I know you don't love me. Fine. Fine. AAAAAHHHHGGGGRRRRR! (whatever a loud growling scream sounds like.) That's my Ava.
*The hubby now starts getting touchy feeling. (excuse me..like i'm hot or something?)
*I really need a BJ. Hunny I really need a BJ!!!!! (yes screaming is going on in the background)

FUCK ME..and not in the literal sense. I hadn't even had a cup of coffee up to this point. They know how I function. COME ON! I could go on, but I think I'll stop now. LOL. I'm on cup #3, Zoloft is running through the system and I actually feel like I'm thinner than yesterday...considering I'm having my P! Wooohoo for small miracles!!!!

Way Back Wednesday!!!!



Hi Guys! Well in another intallment from Mama Duck's Way Back Wednesday, here are school pictures. I couldn't find a portrait picture of me, but I did find cheer/drill team pics. We were cool and fun! LOL! Here's you'll find me with my hair slicked back for a competition! Lovely, huh.

Because I couldn't find too many of me, I thought I'd throw in one of my baby sisters. That picture was taken during my Senior year of high school. Sooooo cute they were. They still are, too. I miss those two little cali girls.

Am I The Only One With PM Fucking S!




Riddle me this Batgirls..and ok batguys can comment too....

Why is it that when I tell my hubby My P is starting, he's like ..."GGGGGreat!!!!!"

Does he think I do it to him on purpose?! Holy Crap...I'm not his beck and call girl for the next few days! Not by my choice..lol. On top of already feeling bitchy..that just throws me into overdrive! lol. The only two not making me crazy are the cute little fluff balls in the picture. They love me, cuddle with me, and help soothe my mood. Maybe it's just the fact that they don't complain. Hmmm what a concept.

If men had even the slightest idea of cramps...do you think they'd give us such a hard time? I bet if men got cramps or periods...the world would stop and they'd go to bed for the week. They'd expect us to continue doing out mommy duties and everything else while they reverted to being babies. UGH!!!!

Ok...I'm pissy. I'm venting and my Mother In Law is coming on Friday! I only found out today! Uh huh! Yep! LOL...hmmm.

Edited 12:04PM...In response to Mama Duck's post. I am in agreement. The last picture is of my dryer all marked up from my husband's fucking pens! He leaves them in his pockets, shirts...everywhere. Maybe he needs a pocket protector so I know where they're all hidden all the time!

Serenity now.

I was tagged last week by some of my favorite girlies Bethy and Cat. I've been a loser and a little slow...so here it goes.
List ten songs that you are currently digging. It doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're no good but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artists, and the ten songs in your blog. Then tag five other random people to see what they're listening to.

Here are my 10 songs:
1) Mississppi Girl - Faith Hill, Love the whole Fireflies CD!
2) Cool - Gwen Stefani,If you haven't heard this..you need to.
3) White Lines - Grand Master Flash, Total College tune, but I've been working out with this on the IPOD. College parties, drinking and this song..holy crap.lol.
4) Since You've Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson, Get this cd! She is awesome!
5) You and Me - Life House, Just beautiful
6) Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stafani, I just dance with my girls to this!
7) I Can Only Imagine - Mercy Me, Just love it.

XOXO, C

You Know You're In The South When....!!!!!!!


Friends...I have sucked in my posting of blogs this week. My Mom, Baby Mocha, and the first week of school really ROCKED MY WORLd!!!

This makes up for it! Ok, so we went to another AAA Minor League baseball game. It's the thing to do here in Nashville. There was a special Marine Night function, so it was, as we say as wives of Marines, a MANDATORY function. So it was only, once again the hottest day of the year. WE had a heat index of 105. So I wasn't thrilled, but had to fake it.

Here's the funny thing. ONLY in the south would you find the hokiest give aways ever. Last night was no exception. That's right guys....last night we got a freebie.

A JOHN THE BAPTIST BOBBLEHEAD!!!!!!

WTF?

There's a whole disciple themed bobblehead set, for those interested. LOL...alll together now...laugh!

Aaaah Thursday!

How many of you wait until the gas light comes on in the car to Fill UP? Ughhhh, Guilty!

I must say that my husband can handle many of my quirks, but let me tell you..he sooo doesn't get the fact that I know just how far I can let it go until I fill up. Hmmm. I know why it is. I don't do gas. Somehow I work it so he always ends up filling my car with his money...even though my gas is worked into my allowance. LOL. For some of you...yes...it is all "OUR" money. It's just easier for him to plan my "spending" out before hand. He also infuses my account when I sweet talk him. So don't think I'm a total Yes woman. I'm sooo not.

Well today this habit of mine came back to bite me in the ass! Somehow I'm totally wrapped up in life and I never botherred to tell him I needed gas. Hmmm. So now I'm on E...to the bottom of the line. I'm going to have to take my money and splurge for a little gas. Problem #1 I've overspent this week. Problem #2 Costco is too far away. Finally #3 I'm going to have to go spend 2.67 for Gas! UGH! Yes this sucks.

I guess the fabric store will have to wait. LOL! Such sacrafices!

As you can tell, I have nothing. Just letting you all know that getting gas is just right there at the bottom of my list! I will also take the non feminist approach of ....it's such a guy's job. He's not here quite a bit so I'm forced to get it, but when he is...it's like I refuse to give in! :)

It's A Boy!



Well, we have a little addition to our happy home. Here he is...Oreo baby. He's a little Shih Tzu and he's precious. Now, the story behind him is a little more funny. This is a classic Jan (my mom)story. She went out and bought a little pet for the kids. That's right...just bought him. The kids have wanted a Shih Tzu for sooooo long, but come on...they're $1100 dogs. Well, for some reason my mother felt it necessary to do it. I guess since there isn't a Nordstrom here in TN, she couldn't go shopping for them. So..instead, I get to suprise my hubby with a puppy. Lovely!

I am happy, though. He's so good and Reeses loves him! See...my mom is a piece of work. :)

Funny Sam comment #372 (during Simon says..with the girls):
"Simon says lick your penis."
Ava says..."I don't have a penis."
"Simon says lick your Gina then." ....LOVELY!
Where do they learn this stuff!
I need to figure out WBW now...My parents are gone and I'm back. I've missed you guys!

Monday Monday....First day of school

So the Eagles are here and nesting quite nicely. I'm a little frazzled and have come to a few conclusions today.

*Where did I learn how to cook? It sure wasn't from my mom. She thinks I make gourmet meals. She's just shocked. This is from the mom who only cooked 3 meals while I was growing up. Yes...a running joke in the family.
*Today I am officially old. I have a daughter in middle school. The girls were off today looking cute and soooo happy. Ava went decked out with the "Princesses" backpack and matching lunch box. Kelsey went with jeans dragging on the floor and a little shrug with her tank. Soooo cute. My mom decided to tag along to "SNEAK" some cigarettes while my dad wasn't around. Hmmmm yes sneak!
*How did I turn out so normal?
*My General Hospital addiction is from her.
*They have more money than they know what to do with.
*My work out his marine games days around purposely to avoid long weekends with his inlaws.
*Finally...I need a drink!

Saturday Coffee and Kids...

They're already at it with each other (the kids). Yes I know, go figure. Ava came down with a glimmer of naughty in her eyes, and told her sister the dog peed in her room. Kelsey, of course, began to cry hysterically. LOL. Of course the dog didn't, she just wanted to piss her sister off. Got to love sisters. I just don't remember being such a shit to mine. Maybe, because I was the oldest. Hmm.

Well the eagles have landed and they are nesting in MY bed. Yep...my bed. Since the hubby is doing training away this weekend, they're just sleeping well. I, on the other hand...hmmm I'm sleep deprived. It's nice to visit though. My mom hasn't really been critical at all..soooooo...we're having a good start. She's taking us to Target today to buy the girls treats for school. My mom is a Nordstrom gift giving grandma...so this kind of continual gift giving this summer is pretty nice.

So we're off to the MECCA that is Target this afternoon. They have some great little pictures for the kids rooms. Little princess wall hangings. Ok Ok...enough of Target daydreaming.

Oh and Ava just came down with a picture of Kelsey she just drew. Yep...she told her sister it was a picture of her in jail. LOL. Lovely! On that note..I'm off to enjoy my javalicious coffee.

Home Away From Home....







Here's the weekly SPF thanks to the lovely Kristine! Go to her site and check out all her wonderful ideas. Let us know if you post and we can check out your world.

This week's topic is:
My Ride, One mile from my house, and Why I love living here.

My Ride is a lovely new car. It's got a great GPS, so when I get lost in the back woods of Hickville USA..I can find my way home. Yes, I live in Nashville. No one told me about all the trees and woodlike scenery..lol. Culture Shock.

One mile from my house and I'm getting ready to leave my subdivision. I'd love Mama Duck's one mile trip.

What I love most about living here is my house. I'm working on getting trees cut, especially the ones next to the door. It's just trying to get someone out here who wants to work! Don't get me started. I do have a huge lovely home. I love the cozy feel and how homey I've made it. Yes..I do love something about Nashville. Plus, notice both big cars in the garage. I love the tidiness of a garage when you can get to big cars in a nice two car garage. That is a freezer not washer and dryer next to the jeep. Oh and yes...that's the mommy mobile in the back. My minivan. :)

Vitamin V to the rescue.

Well, I took some Valium and think I'm starting to relax a little. I wish there was a tape recorder function, because then you could hear my children and dog go at each other all at the same time. My Mom invades tomorrow with my Dad. Then I'll have the new found Father calling when she's here. Hmmmm Can you stay stress. LOL. Oh yeah baby I'm sooo looking forward to the chaos that is my family.

I'm enjoying some much needed Diet Coke. We were having such a day that I packed them up, bribed them with Ice Cream from McDonald's and went and got a huge Diet Coke. Then I took a little vitamin V just to soothe these nerves of mine. It's been a month since I had one, so I feel ok by it. Dr. C would be proud. Of course this is all because of the kids inside because it's 105 outside and the fact that my mom is invading. Yep..stressed.

She's even called 5 times today asking if I was ready. Jeez. Ok, so let's see.

Calgon take me away.

Loving These!




I'm actually doing a little work today. I guess it's all this nervous energy getting ready for my Mom to come visit. Ugh. I love her. She stresses me out, though! It's for 5 days, so I think it will be ok. In the meantime...you have all been so great! Thanks for all the good stuff. Here are some other ones I put together. I love fabric.

Can anyone tell me who they think of when they see the striped photo album!

Some Of My Creations....Cute huh...!

Here are my little creations. This is my business. I have them in a few shops! They so much cuter when they're right in front of you. Now, I'm working on getting them frilled up a little. So I'm working on some new designs. There are copy cats coming out around here! So, I must make mine a little more distinct. Is embroidery big where you guys are?! It's huge here.

This is all I have because I've got nothing else!!!!

Sad, Happy..and Something to think about...

I wake up every morning and start my day the same way. The kids nudge me out of bed (as if 6 AM is late to wake up.) I stumble down the stair and put the dog outside. Then I walk into the kitchen to kids voices asking all different crazy things for breakfast (pudding, popcorn, coolwhip and straberries.) I say the same thing every day, "Breakfast food!" I continue to my friend...my shiny, hot and steaming delicious coffee maker. I wait for the coffee to brew. I stumble to the living room and turn on the news.

Peter Jennings died. It happened so fast. He had lung cancer and it took him in 4 months. So sad. I grew up watching him. Soooo Sad. I was hoping he'd make it. Cancer is such an ugly deadly thing.

DO you all remember the days before cable. We only had a few channels and were stuck with our parents watching Peter, Tom, or Dan.

I know I'm dating myself, but I remember the weekend that MTV came out. I think Billy Joel was big and had a video on that weekend. LOL!

Ok, so after the sad..now I have some happy. I took the kids to see "The March of The Penguins." It was adorable. My three kids loved it. The boy maybe loved it a little less and was (as usual) more interested in watching the room in the back where the movie came out. LOL. Yep my boy.

So there are the basics of my weekend. Basically not much happened. Hmmm.
1. Cleaned my closet. (getting ready for those California Closets.)
2. Washed and folded laundry. (yes bought TIDE because I felt Cheap buying Cheap.)
3. Cooked some amazing dinners.
4. Decided to enter some cooking contests. Why not! You can win all kinds of things. There's money, kitchen appliances...and trips to be won.
5. Finally...prepared for my Mom who is invading on Friday.

Ok...I've really got nothing today. That's it. Maybe i'll get my camera out and take some good pictures. Maybe I just need more coffee. :)
Thanks for humoring me friends with reading my daily blah.
Yes...I think i'm feeling a bit off today.

PS on the SPF post!

I AM NOT CHEAP! I'm just obsessed with cleaning products. I love the ones that smell good. In order to get everything I minimize cost. Otherwise, how could I spend all the extras on Lattes, Manis and Pedis...and all the little Target trips. :) I just didn't want you to think I was a total mizer living on Generic stuff. LOL. Ok...and by doing this...I can splurge on my 17.99 flavored Vodka.
XOXO...just needed to make that clear.

SPF Friday....! Ooooh...I'm a Nutcase!


Here's my SPF about OCD. Go to Kristine's Website and play!

I love our SPF Friday, especially when I don't feeling guilty or obsess for not doing it. Yes Ladies, I'm a nutcase to the 10th degree. Just take a look at the pictures to understand.

1. My Habit .... It is my morning coffee. Don't screw with my coffee. It's something I enjoy. It's something that total gives me pleasure. I sip and enjoy. If I don't have my half and half the night before I will make a special trip to the market for just the Half and Half. My hubby will buy me Non Dairy skim crap...and let me tell you it doesn't work. I use skim milk for the house, but not for coffee!

2. Anxiety ..... This is my PRICEY Scale! It keeps track of my weight, my body fat...my age (still says 34)...and it's totally fucking accurate. I weigh every day, plus. In the morning, at night (so I know what I'll weigh less than when I wake up) and yes..it sucks! I keep it tucked away in my bathroom closet. Yes...I weigh after the morning pees. Just to make sure I got the first weight right. There you go...I'm a fucking loon. Ugh...No...my girlies don't hear about it. That's Why I keep it tucked in my closet. Ugh.

3. Obsess .... My obsession is funny, actually. I'm a bargain hunter. I live on an allowance. I just wrote A whole post on Saving on things that are generic, and the same as the name brand. This is in the Cleaning Supply portion of my life. Let me do a quick rundown. I live on the allowance and anything I save is my mad money. It's all budgeted in. I look for the deals.
Clorox and Pledge wipes are my thing....These from Walmart (which I hate) are awesome!
Laundry Detergent...AWESOME DEAL...This stuff works as good as Tide (my obsession) and I have tried them all! Trust me...three kids, a marine, and dog paws!
Rowenta Iron ...Not a skimp I need this for my fabric with my business! It's a fabulous Iron!
You get the point! I splurge on the good stuff so I save on the stuff that I can. I obsess about it! I'm a fucking nut! I need to get a life!

Mommy Can I Shave My Legs?!

Hmmmm. Let's see. Do I feel like I'm getting old? Yes.

There's something wrong with that question. If you have to ask "Mommy" then maybe you're not old enough. Hmmm. However, if your friend has already visited then maybe it's ok?

Calgon...take me away.

I wish life made a little more sense right now. I wish I could travel on a lovely beach and sand vacation. I wish my brain could be free, but you all know if we went without the children for days that we'd miss them before too long. :)

I've got nothing today, really. The tivo/directv guy just left. It's fixed and now we have an extra tivo in the bonus room. It's 104 out right now and we're in for the rest of the day. Wish I had something funny or witty...but it's not going to happen friends.

Hmmmmmm....any ideas on the shaving?!

When did this happen?


My beautiful girl.

Here Comes The Bride....May 28, 1994



11 YEARS!!!!
MAY 28,1994


Our Way Back Wednesday is here. Mama Duck started this fun little Wednesday ditty! Play along. Let us know you did...and let's enjoy looking back and bad hair, clothes, and great memories.

This week's theme is you Wedding! If you're not married then maybe one with you at a wedding or drunk at a wedding! Yes, we love the drunk ones!

Here mine are. Listen...before you say...oh blurry...icky, remember I am still lacking in the scanner department! I suck..I know! I'm working on it, though.

Will the keys work..?!


The hubby keeps coming home late. So, no picture of the cute little car. However...here is a pic of my keys! LOL. If nothing else you can see my cute key chain. That's a little leather coach key ring thingy. My Y card, my market card, my van...and the new all in one key. Pretty cool.

Just wanted to pass that on. Anyhoo...today was a shocker for me. Kelsey got her hair cut yesterday. School starts on the 15th...and you all know I'm in back to school mode. She didn't want it cut, but we went anyway.

She came out looking 15! OMG! This morning she then put a little eye shadow on...followed by light mascara on the top lashes...and yes....legs from ground to the sky. Help me now! I will get pics for tomorrow. Mommies and Daddies.....welcome to preteen hood! Then we went by the school (yes the one that has 8th graders) and I became sad. It's just gone by so fast. DON'T GET ME WRONG...we're ready for school to start. No homeschooling here! It's just sad she's on her way to her next adventure.

Oh and trust me...the make up is not happening. She thinks because she has her "friend" now that make up is the next step! Ugh No! Ok, maybe a little light light shadow...and some gloss. LOL. Yep...I'm a pushover!
Love you guys...
XOXO

You Guys Are Sooooo Naughty!!!!!

First of all the AA batteries are for the DIGITAL CAMERA!!!!! LOL. I mentioned batteries after car, because I want to take a picture. I bought some batteries at the local MECCA...! Ok, so when hubby comes home I'll take a picture of the new car.

He bought a Jeep. Now, this isn't your normal jeep. This is the Grand Cherokee Ltd! LOL. Yes, it's completely loaded. It took the dealership a week to find one in Tn with everything. They then lost it and had to find one in Alabama. So, yes...the hubby is in guy heaven. He wanted the Acura, but they didn't have the deal Jeep had going with the employee pricing for everyone. It cost the same amount as the MDX, but Mr.Let me Find a Deal got his car with the GPS and DVD. So, he is a happy camper. :)

Anyhoo...there's the update on the Batteries and the car!

BTW, my toys take C batteries! LOL!!!!!! Naughty Naughty Naughty!

Monday Monday....

Yesterday was all about School Shopping!

We did Old Navy. We bought clothes, found deals, tried on arm loads for the girls, and realized that I have little fashionistas! LOL! They are now BEGGING to go to Target! Is it in the blood? Hmmmm, it must be. What can I do? I guess I'll HAVE to take them. I know, twist my arm!

Ok, I have a ton more to pass on, but I'll say TTFN...I need to go get some more "School Stuff!"

XOXO
