Do you go all out for Halloween?

Halloween parties are this weekend. I totally let the kids dress up, but I just don't go all out for the costumes. I used too..lol...oh yes...child 1! If you have more than one child..you know what I mean.

This year we will have a baby, spiderman, and yes an 80s girl. HOly crap...has enough time passed that kids think it's a great idea? to dress up like those crazy looking 80s girls? Wow. My daughter came in and told me in the old days..back in the 80s (gulp)the girls were so into making their butts look big! Excuse me!!!!!! Oh yeah! According to my 12 year old...we loved pants high up around our waists and that's how we had big butts. No wonder, she pondered, there was a big butts song! LOL...yeah really funny. Ugh!

"Hey Mommy...I'm going up to your closet for some 80s ideas!" The miss priss cackled.

Joy! She brang down this sweater (that i actually like) and put on with her black leggings. She just needed some shoulder pads and we'll rat the hair with a little (lot) hair spray. LOL. So there you go...I'm from the Old Days!

Off to get some things together for her Oldtimer outfit!

BLACK IS FOR BIKING...

I've got nothing..really. We can thank my sister for this Monday Funny. LOL.
Here's the reason why biking shorts should only be made in BLACK!

Friday 13th A Week Late

Yep...It's been one of those mornings. You know what I mean. Everything just goes wrong from the moment my eyes opened.

1. Oldest missed her bus by a minute.
2. That lead me into chasing the bus down in my minivan! Ummm Didn't work!
3. Ordered the children to find the boy's missing shoe and get to the car in heartbeat.
4. Signed all that needed to be signed.
5. Went for coffee to bring in the car....ummmm forgot to press the on button.
6. etc.
7. etc.
8. etc.

You all know it just keeps going on and on...

So, now I"m sipping coffee. Just got off the phone with the Kindergarten teacher who thinks I probably lost my f-ing mind. LOL...yep..forgot to pack his lunch money, but thankfully he has money on his tickets (lunch tickets.)

Now I get to fight the Electric company for the money pit, because of a misread on the electric bill. LOL...Yep.

Happy Day..

Worth A Read

Amazing Idea and worth a read. I went and bought a T shirt. It's amazing how much medicine can be bought with the profits from one T shirt.

What a day...

Do you ever just take in the view? Breathe it in and just take it in so you don't forget how good life is sometimes? I suggest you do that right now. If you're having one of those days...find a good view and breathe it in deeply. I've just been looking at the ocean drift by and life is good to me.

Just enjoy whatever view you have near you. It's worth it. I promise.

Notice all the Power Ranger gear..and Lego Star Wars 2 for his XBox.

Yesterday was wonderful. My boy turned 6. I felt like the hole I'd been in was at least a mile away. I turned out to be quite the mommy with the perfect gifts for the boy. Do you remember Power Rangers? They, like so many other things, are back!

Well I'm off now. I need a nap. I went shopping all morning. (I know..poor me..lol) So now It's time for the mommy to relax before everything starts at 3 when the little ones arrive.

Happy Birthday Baby!

In honor of the birthday boy...his favorite song, by THE WHO! LOL...you should see him sing this song! I need it on video.

I can't believe I have all three children in school. My baby is 6 today. He amazes me every single day. Last night when he was running up and down the soccer field, and enjoying it, I just smiled. My baby is growing up.

Time just flies. Ejoy it and soak it as much as you can.

I have the presents bought, wrapped, and ready for cake and ice cream tonight.

He woke up to his birthday morning...big in my house...and he's off to school to wear the birthday crown.

He's so cute! (PS...don't even start about the white socks. The black ones were in the dryer..lol)

MOMMY YOU'RE NOT THAT OLD YET...

Just wait...your time is coming, too.

I'm not Thaaaat old, yet. LOL. Oh just wait. We're doing the how old will you be when games. So very good for my soul.

Let's see...
Another soccer game and this mom screwed up the oranges at halftime. Yep. I did apples and was quickly told how soooooo not ok that was for many reasons. I managed the after game snack and drinks...so give me a break. I tried.

Next, why do some parents get so f-ing crazy at under 7 league soccer games? I'm clueless. Ugh. It's rather disgusting.

I'm watching The Last Samurai right now. I've never seen it and I love it! Love it!

Happy Birthday to you...

Hmmmm....The Home Sweet Home Yankee Candle is what is lit in my living room right now. Yumm.


XOXO

To Give Advice...or Not...Now that's the Question!

Ok...I gave it, even though it's totally none of my business. :)

Two of my favorite READS broke up a while ago. I've never met one of them...ok. LOL. You just need to read them both to realize how special these two are to one another. He still loves her. Sigh......

It's moment I always talk about. It's the one where if the call was made or the trip taken...what might have been. Sigh..... again. :)

I love a good love story. Don't you?
Love to you all my friends...

I LEFT MY DAMN CAMERA AT HOME!

CRAP CRAP CRAP! The boy had a fabulous soccer game! FABULOUS!

The only problem is that I left my camera at home! HORRIBLE! Back to the fabulous... He had a great time. Here's the great part...HE MADE HIS FIRST GOAL!!!!

Here's another funny thing from the boy.
"Hey Mommy I asked the HOTTIE Girl to come to my park," said very a matter of factly by the boy.

"Who's the Hottie Girl hunny," said the mommy in her floored voice.

"She's Sarah and mommy....she's such a hottie...and my girlfriend," announced the boy proudly.




That's about all I've got today.
XOXO

Finally The Money Pit Is Sold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a gorgeous house, but the damn buyers just want so many little things done, and of course we're so tired of owning it...we'll do almost anything to get rid of it at this point.

Let's just recap the last few homes we've owned and give me your best guess to the following question.

Which one looks to be the more expensive home?!!!!! Anyone...
Below you'll notice a nice little colonial that has 2400sq ft, built in 93. New carpet, paint, HVAC and new roof repairs. LOL...oh and did I mention new lightbulbs, per the buyer's request. LOL...


This little beauty is a southern California gem. Tiny...but a gem. It's a three bedroom with all new tile downstairs. New carpet is upstairs. Fabulous paint. The house is about 1436 sq ft. LOL...a little smaller huh? LOL. Oh you'll notice the tiny little backyard.


Ok...well the answer is....the little gem on the bottom went for 150k more than the one on top. Lovely..huh?!


Soooooo now i'll just enjoy my ocean view and my fabulous house I'm in now. The house is sold and I get to enjoy this one in peace.


The happy dance can begin...The house is soooolllld. The house is soooollllddd!

Out of the hole and back to the living...

You all know that hole. We all seem to stumble in it from time to time. I'm obviously no different. It's been hard getting out of it, but here I am. I still don't want to pick up the phone or "just talk," but I'm out and that's a good thing.

I had some crazy crazy dreams last night. Sweet dreams, actually.

I can say...

I've loved, been loved, lost love, discovered love....and you know what they say. Life goes on friends...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Breast Cancer Awareness is what I'm passionate about! It's been something that has touched me personally. If it could happen to me...then it could happen to you! I'm young. Soooooo check those boobies! Go to Komen.Org and check out the self exam video. I'm serious my friends. Just do it! :) I say in my sweetest pain in the ass voice.


Love to you...
