Dear Princess M

2010-05-09T11:08:00.001-07:00

Mother’s Day Mania!!!

Dear Princess M,

As I write this letter to you, I have Billy Joel playing in the background and I am thinking of my own mom. I wish she could be here to know you. She would love to hear you talk about your love of reading (which you no doubt got from her!!). Or about your friends at school, and how much you love cheerleading. Or that they are cleaning out the city pool and how you just can’t wait till it opens!!!

I have to admit I also wish she was here so I could ask her if she thinks I’m doing an OK job with you. I try so very hard to make sure you feel loved and safe. I hope someday you look back on your childhood and smile.

You are the one that gave me the name “Mommy” and the sound of it is so sweet, it truly melts my heart. I want to leave you with my alltime favorite quote, then I gotta run cause you want to play connect four!!

“The moment a child is born,
the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed,
but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.”

You are my world, my heart and my life. You and your brother are truly the reason I am here.

Five Question Friday!!

2010-04-02T17:24:00.001-07:00

1. Do you sing out loud in the car when you're driving?

All the time!

2. What would you never be caught doing?

Smoking. I quit almost 2 years ago, and I will never go back..ever!

3. Will you go #2 in a public restroom?

Only in a dire emergency…gross!

4. Have you ever broken a bone?

My right index finger..it’s still crooked

5. Do you prefer cooking or baking?

I truly hate baking…for two reasons. One being I can’t eat that kind of food, when I’m trying to lose weight. And two, It’s too precise for me. The only reason I ever do bake is for Princess M’s benefit~

5 Question Friday!!!!

2010-03-12T13:41:00.001-08:00

I sure do love me some 5QF…head on over to Mama M’s house (and by house, I mean blog) and join in the awesomeness that is 5 Question Friiiiiday!

1. How much time do you spend on the computer a day?

More time than any human should! I am overly connected…!

2. Will you pay for your children's college or raise them to pay for their own way?

If we hit the lottery then of course. The reality is, no we probably will not pay for their college tuition. But we will most definitely help out as much as we can.

3. Have you ever been in a car accident?

Yes! And it was a bad one too. We T-boned a car going about 45 mph. Their fault, not ours. Long story short? I was outta work for about 3 months and we got a nice settlement. The end.

4. What is your favorite book?

Hands down..The Notebook. No wait!! Twilight. Yeah, for sure, it’s Twilight. But then there’s Sunshine..That was a great book! Well then there’s just about every novel by Jodi Picoult..IDK…I just love to read.

5. Do you make your bed everyday?

No I do not! But I sure do preach to my 6 year old about making her’s. And that my friends, is why I'm the Mother!

Another angel got her wings

2010-03-10T19:50:00.001-08:00

I don’t think I’ve ever been this upset over someone I had never met before. (Except for Kayleigh Anne Freeman, the 1lb miracle)

Sweet, innocent, 2 year old Layla Grace has lost her battle with Neuroblastoma.

I have to be honest. I believe in God..I pray. I just don’t know how or why God would take such an innocent little life. I know ALL life is precious. But a child is something different. A child is a CHILD!!

I am just so upset. I was so hoping for a miracle, as I’m sure the parents of this angel were too.

Since I can not be there to attend the celebration of life for Layla, I am going to release pink balloons in her honor on Saturday afternoon with my little ones. Then I will hug them and hold them and tell them how very much I love them!!

God bless you sweet Layla Grace. You’ve touched my heart so very deeply. I will always remember you, and I never even “knew” you.

It’s about what I DO have..not what I don’t.

2010-03-06T07:55:00.001-08:00

I was watching the movie Precious last night, and it just made me so sad. I know I had it pretty rough as a kid, but then you see something like that and realize there is always someone who’s problems are bigger than your own.

That’s why nowadays I really try to look at what I do have, instead of what I don’t have.

I do have an amazing husband that works hard for us and loves his children.

I do have a home, and it’s filled with love and warmth.

I do have clean clothes on my back.

I do have food on the table every night.

I do have things that may seem so simple to you and I, but are huge to others. Running water, heat, a bed.

I do have my health. And my teeth! :0)

xoxo

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!

A party fit for a Princess.

2010-03-05T17:22:00.001-08:00

She’s been asking for what seems like FOREVER to have a party at Chuck E. Cheese. So little Princess got her wish!

All of her friends came to celebrate!

She got to go in the Ticket Blaster!

Got tons of presents!

GOT A ZHU ZHU PET!!!!!

In her words…”OMIGOSH…OMIGOSH…ZHUUUUU ZHUUUUU PETS!!!”

I’m glad she had such a great time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!!

XOXOXOXO

So much tragedy...thank God for healthy babies..

2010-02-24T08:07:00.001-08:00

I have stumbled across quite a few blogs over the past few year that deal with a lot of tragedy in peoples lives. It just makes my heart ache.
Before I even found Mckmama. I came across Kayleigh Anne Freeman. Such a sweet angel, taken home all too soon. Through Kayleigh's blog I found Stellan, who by the grace of God is such a miracle boy!! And I believe that through Mckmama I also found Matt Logelin, who's wife passed away shortly after having their beautiful daughter Maddie.
And now I have come across Layla Grace. Sweet beautiful Layla Grace, whom I can't seem to get out of my head. I have been thinking about this wonderful little one, who will soon leave this world and go to the next, and it completely breaks my heart.
I am so thankful for my healthy children. I watch them sleep, play, laugh...and I am overcome with such a joy to have them in my life.
I think we should all just take a minute and thank God for having such healthy amazing kids!!
And please keep Layla Grace in your thoughts and prayers.

Until next time, don't forget to floss!!!

Swee Layla Grace

2010-02-23T16:43:00.000-08:00

As an avid follower of Mckmama, I was introduce to this blog.
Please stop by and read Layla Grace's story. Keep her in your prayers..and pray like crazy for a miracle!!!

I'm sick of being sick

2010-02-17T06:37:00.000-08:00

Everyone in our house is sick!
It all started with a little runny nose on Prince M..next thing you know...we're all coughing and can't breathe!
And now as I type this, my ears feel clogged. Great! Just what I needed on top of everything else. And ear infection.
Excuse me while I scream at the top of my lungs!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Thanks! Now I feel better..well only a little.
Hopefully we will all be feeling better soon. This Sunday is Princess M's birthday party. And at Chuck E Cheese no less.
Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Until next time, don't forget to floss!!!

Debt free are we!!!

2010-02-16T06:21:00.000-08:00

I am so proud of the Mr and I!! We have finally paid off all of those pesky credit cards!! Yep! All the credit card debt is gone!! Outta here!! I feel as if a huge weight has been lifted off of our shoulders. It's awesome!
So hopefully that means this time next year we will start house hunting! I am so excited for that! To finally own our own home?? That would truly be a dream come true for me!
We may also have some exciting news from Mr. G really soon! Keeping my lips sealed and fingers crossed on that one for a while...I guess you'll have to stay tuned to find that one out.

Kiddies are amazing..everyone is just getting over a nasty cold and awaiting springs arrival. Hopefully it will get here sooner rather than later.

Until next time, don't forget to floss!!!

Five Q Friday….once again on a Saturday

2010-02-06T05:14:00.001-08:00

1. What are you most afraid of?

Death. Leaving my children without a Mother. I am so terrified that I keep journals so “in case” anything happens to me…they’ll have a little piece of our lives together. Very morbid, I know!

2. Do you use a flat iron or curling iron?

I like to switch it up. I have pretty long hair, so some days I flat iron it..and some days I like it curly.

3. Hands-free or phone to the ear?

I should definitely try out hands free…but I hate how loud it sounds.

4. Do you have a matching bedroom set?

As a matter of fact we do..and I hate it.

5. Do you believe in the paranormal?

Hmmm..I’m really not sure.

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!!!

Happy Birthday Princess M!

2010-02-04T13:48:00.000-08:00

I can’t even begin to type without my eyes watering. Or getting a little choked up.

As this day has been approaching, I have been asking myself the same question over and over.

“Where have the past 6 years gone?”

I feel like it was literally just a few days ago that you came into this world..pink and beautiful ~ not to mention LATE! Yes a week and half late…ten days! Ugh..I was so uncomfortable, I just wanted you in my arms. I was so impatient to meet you. And now what I would give for you to be a newborn baby again..snuggling in my arms, or sleeping on my chest. Just one more day…

But oh! How wonderful you are now!!

Sometimes I glance at you and it really does take my breath away. You are so beautiful!

Not to mention an amazing big sister! You love playing with your little brother…even when he’s bugging you.

So who is Princess M at 6 years old?

Funny, smart, silly, goofy, very girly!

What does Princess M love at 6 years old?

Reading to herself and having stories read to her. Singing. Playing dress up. Wii bowling. Sleepovers. Pink. Webkinz. Shining stars. Board games. Play doh. Snuggling. Her brother. Her aunt. School. Cheerleading. Swimming. Summer. Bowling. Christmas!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET GIRL! YOU ARE THE LIGHT IN MY DAYS..MY LIFE STARTED THE DAY YOU WERE BORN

The blah's

2010-01-28T05:26:00.000-08:00

Right now I really have a case of the blah's.
I'm not depressed.
I'm not exactly "happy".
Nor am I mad.
Sad.
Glad.
{Apparently I am Dr. Seuss though. :)}

Just feeling in a funk lately.
How do you get yourself out of a funk?

Until next time, don't forget to floss!!

“THE” Rainbow cake…here’s mine!

2010-01-20T18:01:00.001-08:00

I first saw this cake on MckMama's blog.
I've been going back and forth with myself about trying to bake it..considering I don't bake.
Don't get me wrong, I love to cook...baking? Not so much!

Then Princess M saw the pictures on MckMama's blog...of all the pretty rainbow cakes. Then she tells me it was the cake she wants for her birthday..which means I have to make it..er bake it. And I don't bake.

So I bought a few boxes of cake mix, quite a bit of food coloring and a dozen of eggs.

About two weeks went by and every now and then I'd look at the recipe and think about attempting to make (er bake) a practice cake.

FINALLY the other day I started my attempt. Did I happen to mention I truly despise baking?

So I prepare all of the colors...

I will admit, that part was a little bit fun!

Then the assembling began.

And the finished product??

I think it turned out pretty good, considering I don’t bake.

Getting to know you!

2010-01-17T19:46:00.001-08:00

This was pretty fun last week, so I figured I’d join the fun again. And if you join the fun and link up, 25 cents will be donated to the Haiti relief fund..what’s better than that??

Head over to Manland5 and link up to help a great cause.

1. Hair color..Au naturale..or not?

Not natural..but not far off at all. Im naturally a medium brunette, and I color to a dark brunette.

2. If somebody has food in their teeth or lipstick on their teeth do you tell them?

Eeeeeeeeeek! It really depends on who it is. If it’s my husband, sister or a really good friend? Yes I’d most definitely tell them. If it’s a stranger or an acquaintance? No way!

3. Would you rather have a million dollars or your vision of the perfect body?

Well couldn’t a million dollars buy me the perfect body?

4. Favorite magazine?

I cannot and will not chose just one. I buy way too many magazines and subscribe to at least 5 different ones too! I am what some may call a “magazine whore”.

5. Bra style..lacey or plain?

I have a few of each, thank you very much!

6. If you walked into Victoria's Secret..would you most likely come out with something sexy or comfy?

Comfy…Just went there yesterday and bought some Pink brand sweatpants…ohhhh so comfy!

7. Do you fake and bake?

Is this tanning? If so, then no I do not.

8. What's your favorite body part on a man?

A pearly white smile!

It’s that time again everyone!!!! Head over to Mama M’s and link up!

1. Worst trouble you ever got into as a teenager?

I was a really wild teenager…we’ll just leave it at that! LOL

2. Are you a morning person or a night person?

I think going to bed after 11 and waking up by 630 or 7 let’s me qualify for a little bit of both, don’t you?

3. Are you a one-handed or a two-handed Texter?

I never thought of it until now, but I only use one hand

4. Democrat, Republican, or Independent..or maybe even Green Party (whatever that is).

I really am not into politics much. I supposed you could call me a Democrat. I really think the government has all the say anyway, and regardless of what we do or do not want, they will do what THEY want.

5. Are you a pet person?

I am…hubby is not. He makes the final call on animals in our house, so I guess I lose!

Not me Monday!

2010-01-10T18:25:00.000-08:00

It was not me that used the phrase, “take the saw out of your mouth” nope! Not me! (good thing it was a toy)

I also didn’t eat two rolls at dinnertime! I would never jeopardize my diet, for the sake of carbs! Never! Not me!

It was also not me that gave the kids a “quickie” bath, so I could watch my TV show! Bath time is always playtime at our house. I’d never take that away from my kids. Nope! Not me!

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!!!

Getting to know YOU!

2010-01-10T16:02:00.000-08:00

I just stumbled upon this blog..and I love blog hops/carnivals, so I couldn't resist. This one seems like loads of fun! Everyone should head on over and link up!

1. If you were stranded on a desert island and could pick one person to be stranded with you..Who would you pick? Family members not included.
Hmmm, this is a tough one. I'd really be missing my family, but I think I'd chose one of my best friends. Either would do just fine!

2. Do you read celebrity gossip?
I have to admit, it's an addiction of mine! My favorite gossip blog is here. But what I really love is magazines!

3. Favorite show you're watching this season?
A new show I've picked up on is Modern Family! Super funny! But an old fave is Grey's Anatomy.

4. How tall are you?
5'4"

5. What was the last book you read?
The Rules of Survival by Nancy Werlin

6. Flats or heels?
Flats

7. If you had to choose one natural disaster to go through, what would you choose..Earthquake, Tornado, or Hurricane?
I suppose I'd choose a hurricane, since you'd get a lot of warning!

8. Thong, panties, or (gasp) granny panties?
I have thongs, panties, boyshorts and ahhhhhhhh...the dreaded granny panties!

How do I feel today, you ask?

2010-01-10T06:12:00.000-08:00

Proud that I've kept up with my workout for the entire week.
Proud that I've kept up with my diet for the entire week.
Annoyed with my husband, who seems' to forget everything.
Stressed about money, like always.
Happy that I have healthy children.
A little hungry.

A lot tired. I have a 12 month old that still doesn't sleep through the night. I'm always tired.

Sad, that my babies are growing so fast.
Proud that I've been smoke-free for so long!! Yaaa me!
Lonely. I feel like it's just me and my kids.
Lonely, really missing my girlfriends.
Great full that I have a great sister that's my best friend!
Excited that we may go sledding today!
Guilty that ate a little too many carbs yesterday...remember that diet I told you about?
Energized from all of my exercising!

Five Question Friday!!

2010-01-08T07:16:00.001-08:00

I have really started looking forward to this blog carnival! Everyone should head over to Mama M’s and join in the fun!

1. What's your "comfort food"?

If I can only pick one, I’d have to say mashed potatoes! Home made of course, by my hubby. When he makes them, I pretend not to notice how much butter he spoons into them, before he mashes them up.

2. Do you send Thank You's (handwritten or email)?

I always try to remember, but I’m terrible at it.

3. If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?

I’d have to say Lost. I want to this smoke monster for myself!

4. What is your favorite online recipe site?

well a lot of the time, I’ll just google what I’m looking for. I am partial to recipezarr.com though, because I like that they have the nutritional information on each recipe.

5. If you had to choose: "Friends" or "Seinfeld"?

I absolutely hate Seinfeld…it depresses me! On the other hand I have seen every episode of Friends there is…about a million times each, and I still laugh! I could watch Friends all day!

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!!!

It's MY gray hair, and I'll cry if I want to!

2010-01-06T17:57:00.000-08:00

Yep! That's right! A stinking gray hair was hiding on my head!
How did it get there? Well maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm almost 30. My hubbby thinks I'm being silly, but that single little gray hair really made me feel sad...and old.

So, yes honey. It's my (single, solitary, itty-bitty) gray hair...and I'll cry if I want to!

Until next time, don't forget to floss!!

Not me Monday!

2010-01-04T12:11:00.001-08:00

Everyone should head on over to Mckmama’s place and join in the “Not Me” fun!!

It was certainly not me that ate about 15 Dove chocolate promises today because “tomorrow I start my diet”! Nope not me!

It also wasn’t me that let Prince L run around naked tonight after I took off his diaper! Nope! There’s no way I’d risk letting my 12 month old pee on the carpet! (which he did!!!)

And it’s definitely not me that can not get enough of the Jersey Shore!! No way would I watch that trash!

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!!

5 question Friday..wait what day is it?

2010-01-03T17:01:00.001-08:00

It seems I’m always late! Better late than never! Head over to Mama M’s place and check it all out!

1. If you could bring one character to life from your favorite book, who would it be?

I’d love to say a character from some classic novel, but honestly I only read fluffy books. So I’d have to say I would love to bring Noah from the Notebook to life, especially if he were a real person and we could talk about his love for his dear wife Allie
2. Where did you get your very first kiss?

I believe I was in 6th grade at the Roller rink.

3. How did you welcome in the New Year?

We were with family, playing the Wii, eating junk and having fun!

4. What is your favorite Beatles song?

I hate to admit it but I am not a big Beatles fan…I know, right!!
5. Donuts: Overrated, underrated, or 'bout right?

Wayy overrated! Kinda gross actually!

Counting my blessings of the year.

2009-12-31T13:03:00.000-08:00

As the hours pass by on the eve of the new year, I wonder what this coming year has in store for my family and I.

We were truly blessed this year, with the birth of Prince L. He is the light of my days, and the laughter inside of me!! I feel so very lucky to have him.
We were truly blessed to have such a smart/funny/beautiful/creative/caring/loving daughter! She is without a doubt, one of my favorite people!
We were truly blessed to have jobs! I know quite a few people that had to wait in the unemployment line, and thankfully it wasn't either of us.
We were truly blessed to have found a bigger house, and pretty much right at the time it was needed.
We were truly blessed with our health! Not much more than a cold.
We were truly blessed with love...so much to go round!
We were truly blessed with soon to be new members of our family...will be gaining a brother-in-law in the coming year or so! Congrats to the happy couple!
We were truly blessed with friends. I love you all!!

XOXO

Hopefully the coming year will prove to be as wonderful as this one!!!

I love doing this blog carnival! Head on over to Mama M’s and join in the fun!

1. Which boygroup did you like most in your teens?

Well in my teens it was N’Sync. But when I was a tween….Oh man, I loved loved loved New kids on the block!!

This year I did family photo cards

3. If you could meet one celebrity who would it be and why?

If you asked me a year ago I would have without a doubt said Kenny Chesney. Now it would have to be Taylor Swift. I absolutely adore her and I think she is a great role model for young girls.

4. Favorite thing to cook with (i.e. stainless, non-stick, Dutch oven, microwave, debit card...or, perhaps, a cauldron, etc.)?

Oh this is easy…as a birthday gift last year I received Rachael Ray pots and pans…need I say more?

Sweats….or scrubs depending on the day!

2009-11-30T08:00:00.001-08:00

2. What is your favorite Christmas tradition with your family?
On Christmas eve my brother and sister come over and I cook a big dinner and we all just sit around playing games and having fun!

3. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in your neck of the woods? And, if so...how many calories do you think you consumed yesterday?
Yes I do...and I have no idea...probably enough for the whole week!

4. Have you started decorating for Christmas, yet?
A little here and there. We've put the gel window clings on the windows.. I have some garland up. The big decorating comes today!

5. What is your favorite Christmas cookie?
I can't pick just one...either peanut butter or sugar cookies!

A five year olds broken heart.

2009-11-24T15:28:00.001-08:00

I really didn’t think I’d have to console a broken heart for at least 11 more years.

Today I had to tell my 5 year old that her best friend, our neighbor is moving away. And not across the city. Across the country! First she cried. Then she snuggled up to me and said in the saddest little voice ever..”well, can we still play together?” “No honey, I’m sorry you can’t. But you can write letters and talk on the phone” “But why does she have to move, Mommy? I will miss her so much”

My heart aches for her. This is her very first best friend, not to mention that they live literally next door. There are no other children in our neighborhood, except a few boys that are little older.

When she asked again, why they were moving I just told her that I wasn’t really sure and that her mommy and daddy decided to move. That all of her life things will be changing and there isn’t too much we can do to stop it. She had to sign a birthday card for her friend and she drew a picture of them playing together with flowers and a butterfly that said “I love you laura”

I know her heart is broken tonight, but so is mine.

Not Me Monday!

2009-11-15T20:12:00.001-08:00

This blog carnival was created by MckMama! everyone should head on over and join in the fun!

It's certainly Not Me, that keeps swearing she is done Christmas shopping for her children, only to buy "one more thing"

It also wasn't me that gave her baby boy gross, disgusting keys to play with in the store to keep him quiet. Nope, Not Me! I'd never replace the toys I forgot, with germ infested keys!

When I asked my husband to put up our lighted candy canes in the yard, I certainly didn't come home and rearange them...Nope! Not Me!

And lastly, It surely wasn't me that re-gifted a baby shower gift! Nope! I buy everything brand new!

Five Question Friday

2009-11-06T09:30:00.000-08:00

Everyone should head on over to Mama M's place, and join in the fun!

1. What is your dream job?

Not me Monday!!

2009-10-26T06:33:00.000-07:00

This blog carnival was created by MckMama over at Mycharmingkids.net..go over and check it out and join in the fun!!

It was not me who picked her baby up ~~at a restaurant~~ in front of a bunch of people, and smelled his crotch to make sure he didn’t poop. Nope, not me…that’s very rude and tactless, and I have tact.

I also didn’t bring Prince L out in the cold October rain to watch his big sister cheer at the High School Homecoming game. Nope, not me! I’d never bring my baby out in the cold rain.

It’s also not me that’s been running around our house with a can of Lysol spraying everything that Princess M comes in contact with. I would never do that, (especially not after giving a speech about how the media is scaring everyone with the H1N1 stuff and it’s really “not that bad”) Nope, not me…I stick with what I believe!

And lastly it’s definitely not our family that already has Christmas lights up, with pumpkins on the front porch..Nope not us!

Hopefully you got a few laughs from me…Until next time, don’t forget to floss!

To my Husband

2009-10-25T08:51:00.001-07:00

I’ve been wanting to write a post about my Prince Charming…It’s so easy for me to talk about my kids, but when I have to put into words what hubby means to me it’s difficult.

He is so funny! Can always make me laugh, even when Im mad. (which sometimes drives me crazy!) He has such a great sense of humor, kind of dirty at times, but still super funny!

He loves to play with the kids. He’ll get down on the floor and crawl around with them. They love it, and so does he. When they do this, I love to get out the video camera and just make it a memory.

He works hard for us. He is so amazing. He works two jobs so that I can work part time to be with the kids more. I don’t tell him often, but I appreciate it more than he knows. He never takes times off of work, and even does work on the side. He is truly amazing.

He accepts my family without a question (even when I am not so nice about his) they needed a place to live and there wasn’t even a second that he hesitated. It wasn't even a question. “Thank you baby!!”

He loves me…probably more than anyone ever has. He thinks I’m beautiful, even when I don’t. He thinks' I’m sexy, even when I don’t. He loves to flirt with me, joke with me, and pretty much just be goofy with me! I love it. He makes me feel so loved, sometimes I don’t know how to react.

“I know I don’t tell you nearly enough honey, I love you more than these words can express. You are my heart and soul, and there is no one else I’d rather be walking through life with than you! You are my life and the air I breathe. I could never do this without you.”

Until next time….don’t forget to floss!!

All together now....AWWWWWWWWWW!

2009-10-21T07:02:00.000-07:00

I know he's my little chicken, but he is too cute for words!
All at once...awwwwww!!

Life through the eyes of a 5 year old..

2009-10-19T14:31:00.001-07:00

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance…….

I hope you dance….

Not me Monday!

2009-10-19T07:51:00.001-07:00

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

It sure wasn't freezing out this morning. And if it was, there would be no way I’d bring Prince L out without his hat! Nope, not me! I would make sure the find the lost hat, before leaving the house!

Speaking of the cold weather…there’s no way I’d drag my bundled up children, costumes and all, to Boo! at the Zoo. No way would I go and spend a few hours walking around in the freezing cold, especially with a 10 month old!!

I really don’t think it was me that put a few extra toys in Prince L’s crib in hopes that he’d just play in the morning instead of crying and waking me up..(he didn’t give 2 hoots about those toys anyways)

Finally…I’m pretty sure it wasn’t my husband that was feeding Prince L last night and pulled a dried up booger out of his nose, then handed it to me..that is so gross and I know my husband has more class than that!

Ok, that’s all I have for the week…until next time, don’t forget to floss!!

The Rock and Roll hall of fame..Cleveland Browns and a few others?

2009-10-18T19:46:00.001-07:00

The Cleveland Rock Hall…ever been there? I haven’t and I live about 20 minutes east of it.

Ever seen the Cleveland Browns lose a game in person? No? Me either.

How about Labron James? Ever seen him running down the court? You guessed it. Me either.

I was recently on a website that gives me ideas of things to blog about, when I came across this: What tourist attractions do you live by, that you’ve never seen? It’s funny, because all of the things Cleveland is known for, I have never seen. I guess I must be waiting for an engraved invitation. Wonder if they sent it out yet?

Of those that I haven’t seen, the only one I actually want to see is a Cavs game. Are there any attractions in your area that you’ve never seen? Let me know!

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!!

5 question Friday…on a Saturday!

2009-10-17T07:30:00.001-07:00

I know, I’m a day late..Oh well! Head on over to Mama M’s place and check out her “Five question Fridays” It makes you think, and it’s a fun time!

1. What phrase, or phrases, do you say a lot (holy cow, geez, seriously?)

Well if were talking out loud, I say “oh my god” a lot. But if I’m typing or texting I say “ lol” way too much!

2. Swimming: Are you a kamikaze off the boat, take the plunge from the deep end, or a gradual, slow submersion from the shore or shallow end kind of person?

I almost always have to ease my way in from the kiddie pool.

3. Have any tattoos? If not, what would you get?

I have 2. The first one I regret and I am determined to get it covered. It’s a very ugly “butterfly type thing” on my foot. I was in such a hurry to get a tattoo I got that crap! The second one I love. My sister and I both got the same thing. It’s actual notes from the sheet music to “only the good die young” by Billy Joel. We got in in memory of our mom who died at the very young age of 45, and whom was also a huge Billy Joel fan.

4. What is your favorite tree?

Cherry blossom trees are so pretty!

5. Two pronged question: What is your favorite non-physical thing about your spouse? What is your favorite physical thing about your spouse or significant other?

I love that he loves to flirt with me! It’s so cute! I love his smile and his cute little butt!!

Mama M’s giveaway!

2009-10-14T06:49:00.001-07:00

Everyone should go check out “My little life”! Mama M is doing a pretty awesome giveaway!

Really, go look! What are you waiting for? HURRY!

Very beautiful necklaces, pretty great for mommy's! Check out Christi’s Etsy shop, where you can see all she has to offer!

Not Me Monday!!!

2009-10-12T11:52:00.000-07:00

This is so much fun! Head on over to MckMamma's place and join in the fun!!

After being home from work on my long weekend, for only 2 of the 4 days. I did not tell my husband I'd rather go to work because it's less stressful and they pay me to be there! Nope, I'd never want to be anywhere but with my babies!

Also on a family outing to the farm park yesterday, I did not lose Prince L's binky. Nope! I'd never lose that thing, it's more precious than gold!

And there's no way, I'd keep saying "yes" every time Princess M asked for another candy corn, just to get her out of my hair! I don't use candy as a babysitter! That would go against all I believe in, especially being a DA (dental assistant) and all!

Never would I leave my beautiful babies in the car while I ran into the gas station to complain to the attendant! (i could see them from the window). Nope! I don't leave my kids alone for a even a second!

And lastly I know it wasn't me that used their baby's shirt to wipe a booger off of his face. That's just disgusting and I'd never do that!

I hope you got some laughs from me! And until next time, don't forget to floss!

Honorable mention.

2009-10-11T09:08:00.001-07:00

So last night Princess M had her very first cheerleading competition. I use the term competition lightly. It was mostly younger girls, between the ages of 5 and 9 doing cute little cheers.

All the teams got awarded for one thing or another. Most spirit, loudest team, most entertaining..you get the point.

Our team got Most Spirited team!!

There were a few teams that took this very seriously. Back flips and all! Very seriously. But mostly, it was just a fun event.

The 2nd half of the night consisted of girls doing jumps and tumbles. They had the girls mixed into age categories and they each did a cheer jump, or back flip. Well my sweet little girl got honorable mention! I know it didn't really count for much, but when they said her name, I really did choke up just a little. I don't’ even know if she really understood what was going on, but she was so proud of that green ribbon! When they called her name she walked halfway out onto the floor, then looked back at her coaches, like..”should i do that jump again, or what?” It was really cute! This is pretty much the end of the cheer season for our town, but I know she loved it so much, we’ll be doing this next year too!

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!

The Best Day.

2009-10-09T09:35:00.001-07:00

I absolutely love this song. It’s just a girl talking about her Mother, and the day they had. It’ the best!

Taylor Swift, The Best Day Lyrics

I'm five years old and it's getting cold
I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides
Look now the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop till I forgot all their names
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you today
I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out he's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run
And I had the best days with you
There is a video I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine and I didn't know if you knew
So I'm taking this chance to say that I had the best day with you today

Five question Friday!

2009-10-09T07:41:00.001-07:00

1. What is the one thing that you reach for the most in a day (excluding phones, computer or children's butts for spankings)? When I’m at work, its a pen..I feel like I can never find one! and at home, I’d have to say Prince L’s binky!

2. What is the farthest you have been from home? Myrtle Beach…Loved it!

3. What kind of cell phone do you have? Love it or hate it?Well I just got a Samsung Magnet..I don't hate it, but I do wish the keys were a little bigger for texting.

4. Coke or Pepsi? Diet coke…100%

5. If you could go back and change anything about your wedding day, what would it be and why? To have an actual wedding ceremony, and not go to the court house.

A letter to my Mother…

2009-10-06T19:57:00.001-07:00

I often wish we had been closer. I also wish there was a way for me to let go of so many things I hold inside. I have so much anger and resentment just sitting there. There are so many things I wish I could have had the courage to ask you.

Why did you let me go with him? Weren't you worried about me? How could you not know? HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW?? Why didn’t you ever ask? Was it just easier to send me away with him, than to deal with me…and love me?

Why did you send me to school in dirty clothes? Why didn’t you pack me a lunch? Why didn’t you spend time with me? Why didn’t you tell me about boys? Friends? Sex? Why did you call me stupid? A bitch? Why didn’t you take better care of me, of them??? We were just kids! Babies. Children. They were worthless men…where are they now?

…Why didn’t you love me? Yes I’m sure you did…but I just never felt it.

What about being a mother? Giving birth? Having a newborn? Having a daughter? Having a son? I have no idea what I’m doing. None whatsoever…I wing it every day. I question every little thing…everything! “Will this screw her up?” “Will she remember this advice?” “Should I even feed him this?” “Should I let her have another pack of fruit-snacks” “Did I yell too loud?”

I know after the alcohol wore off, and you became sober you were finally a different person. But then It was too late, I had no idea who you were. And I was too mad to find out. I never thanked you for letting me live with them.

“MOMMY, THANK YOU SO MUCH…YOU SAVED ME FROM MYSELF THE DAY YOU LET HER TAKE ME IN..WHEN I THINK OF HAPPY TIMES WITH YOU, I HAVE TO GO BACK TO BEING 3 OR 4. YOU TOOK ME TO SCHOOL…I DIDN’T WANT YOU TO GO…I BEGGED AND PLEADED…CRIED! YOU HAD TO GO..YOU’D SEE ME SOON. THEN THE SCHOOL DAY ENDED AND GUESS WHO CAME TO PICK ME UP? YOU…THERE YOU WERE AND I RAN TO YOUR ARMS…I ALWAYS JUST WANTED YOUR LOVE AND ATTENTION..I HOPE WHERE EVER YOU ARE..YOU CAN READ THIS. REST IN PEACE MOMMY”

My 5 year old goes to a concert

2009-10-06T07:09:00.001-07:00

When I first bought the tickets I thought It was a great idea. I mean she loves Taylor Swift, so why not? Then I had them for so long and started thinking maybe it wasn't such a great idea after all. I just kept thinking “a 5 year old, going to a concert?” There was actually a point when I thought about selling the tickets. I am so glad I didn’t!!!

I wish I had pictures to show what an amazing time Princess M had. She danced, sang, clapped jumped up and down! Pretty much had the time of her life! I don’t know If it was the show, or my daughters excitement that I enjoyed more. I’m sure when I look back on that concert in a few years the only thing I’ll remember is Princess M telling me “thank you sooo much for my surprise Mommy! It was so much fun..Taylor swift is so pretty”

You’re the prettiest of all, Princess M!!

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!!!

Not Me Monday!!!

2009-10-05T11:03:00.000-07:00

Please come and join all the fun over at MckMama's place. It is a safe place to admit the things you definitely couldn't and wouldn't ever happen with you around.

I didn't make up a lie about having "dinner in the crock pot" to my neighbor, to get out of having dinner at her house. Nope! Not me, I love spending time with my neighbors.

There's no way I put on The Mickey Mouse Club House for my 9 month old to keep him occupied while I was reading a magazine. I never make the TV a babysitter!

I also didn't put a headband on my baby boy, just to get a few laughs...I'd never torture my kids for my own satisfaction!

Also there's no way that when I moved the couch today to find my cell phone and found a bunch of other crap under there (IE: cheerios, dryer sheet, board books) that I grabbed the cell phone and pushed the couch right back into position. Nope! There's no way I'd leave a bunch of junk under my couch.

And finally there certainly isn't a pile of clean towels sitting on my couch waiting to be folded while I type this. Nope...my clothes get folded right from the dryer, they never sit for over a day. NOPE! NOT AT ALL!

Seriously, I named my blog this for a reason…

2009-10-02T14:50:00.001-07:00

It truly amazes me how many people truly do not care about or have no knowledge of oral health!

Your children should see the dentist by their 1st birthday. Not their third birthday, or when they start kindergarten…their 1st birthday!

Please do not assume your 5 year old is brushing their teeth correctly. Actually, please don’t assume your 7 or 10 year old is for that matter!! If your child is younger, let them do it then you do it again. If your child is older check their work…just like in school! If you take them to the dentist and they have cavities..don’t wonder why. They are children and need help with this.

Make sure you teach your children how to floss. Make sure you know how to floss before you teach them! Please stop sawing the floss!! If your gums bleed when you floss, it’s not because of the floss. It’s because you don’t floss.

Also, please do not instill your fear of the dentist into them! You may not realize it, but they hear you saying “ oh my god, I hate the dentist…the sound of the drill is blah blah blah” Just stop! Why do you think your child has to be put to sleep for dental work? Because someone terrified them of the dentist so much that they freak out every time they have to go!

Just stop..and don’t forget to floss!

Kitty cats and chickens.

2009-09-29T19:30:00.001-07:00

I absolutely love fall! The smells, colors, clothes, activities. Pretty much everything!! I love that we finally live in a home that we can decorate for the season! Before we moved, we had never decorated for fall. This past weekend we got right to it!

Well, hubby did anyway. :)

We also got this pretty awesome pumpkin..Princess M seems to really like it.

I also got some really pretty mauve colored mums. Sorry, no pictures of those, I’m pretty sure everyone knows what mums look like.

I can’t wait to get Princess M’s costume together so I can post pictures of that too. She’s being a ballerina/kitty and Prince L is being a chicken. The first time I tried the costume on him, I think I laughed for about 5 minutes straight. Then he started laughing, so I laughed even harder and on and on..you get the picture.

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!

Not me Monday

2009-09-28T10:42:00.000-07:00

I've been following MckMama for a while now, and I've never done my own "not me Monday". So here goes!

I didn't give my 9 month old french fries from McDonald's today, not me! I always give my children healthy and nutritious foods.

I didn't let my 5 year old roam around the children's section of the library while I looked at the magazine rack. (it's within arms reach). I'd never walk away from my child, even for a second. Nope! Not me!

I didn't tell my hubby I'd watch a movie with him, only to fall asleep. Not me! I always spend quality time with my man!

I didn't let Prince L play with my germ infested keys, just too keep him quiet. I'd never do that, not me!!!

I'd also NEVER, EVER FORGET TO FLOSS! NOT ME, I FLOSS AFTER EVERY MEAL. :)

Music to my ears

2009-09-27T08:18:00.001-07:00

I think the best sound in the world is your baby’s first cry. You wait 9 (almost 10) months for it, then one day..there it is. Loud and clear! Letting you know, it’s all going to be OK.

It was music to my ears, for sure!

Then as they grow, you talk and try to teach them to talk. They make sounds, screeches and giggles. But still you’re waiting for that “real” first Mama, or Dada. Then one day, there they are saying “mamamamama” and your heart literally skips a beat! It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Almost like your heart is melting.

That’s how I felt today, it was music to my ears!

I know he’s not really calling me Mama, but still just the sound of it made my day! I love you little man.

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!!!

5 Question Friday...my first time!

2009-09-25T10:19:00.000-07:00

Quick run down of the rules...copy and paste the following questions to your blog, answer them, grab the MckLinky BlogHop code and link up! Oh, and if you don't have a blog, but want to join in, just leave me your answers in my comments!

1. What celebrity have you been told you look like?
2. What is your all time favorite movie, any special reason why?
3. Since we're talkin' movies...Popcorn: overrated, underrated, or 'bout right?
4. Are you a glass half empty or half full kinda person?
5. What perfume/cologne do you wear?
1. What celebrity have you been told you look like?

I've never really been told that I look like a celeb. Hmmm, and I don't see a resemblance to anyone either.

2. What is your all time favorite movie, any special reason why?

Hands down, would have to be Grease! #1 I love all the songs, and I know all the words! #2, It will always remind my of my mom, as she's the one who introduced me to it in the first place.

3. Since we're talkin' movies...Popcorn: overrated, underrated, or 'bout right?

Underrated! I think popcorn should be a food group! I am soo addicted, it isn't even funny.

4. Are you a glass half empty or half full kinda person?

My husband says I'm kind of a negative person. So I'd love to say I'm a glass Half Full kind of girl, but I'd be lying.

5. What perfume/cologne do you wear?

Heavenly, by Victoria's Secret. I just love that scent.

They say the clothes make the man…er woman.

2009-09-23T17:46:00.001-07:00

Well apparently my clothes say I’m a bum! Ha!

Ever since I had Prince L (December) and haven’t been able to lose this last 12 (or 20) lbs I seem to live in my sweatpants, cotton shorts or gauchos. I almost never wear jeans. I recently broke down and bought one pair at a bigger size than I wore pre-Prince L.

You see, before I got pregnant with the Prince I had recently lost over 40lbs! It was great! I had bought so many new and might I add, very cute clothes. Then my dream came true…I found out I was pregnant!!! I was beyond excited. Then my worst dreams came true…I gained 40ish lbs. Ugh…I had worked so hard to lose it. Then my ass got huge, my hips got wider and my thighs got a new zip code.

So here I am almost 10 months later and and have lost half of what I had gained. I have no motivation to try and lost it again. I know my old jeans and cute sweaters should be motivation enough, but that’s not doing it!

Where do you get the motivation to work out? After working and taking care of the Prince and Princess I am beat! I just want to lay on the couch and ~~eat junk food~~ watch TV with my hubby---in my sweatpants!

Until next time…don’t forget to floss!

BEAUTIFUL

2009-09-23T07:33:00.001-07:00

I don’t think there are any other words.

Family

2009-09-21T18:56:00.001-07:00

What does family mean to you?

The person you chose to spend the rest of your life with?

Having the same parents?

Your sister?

Your brother?

A really close friend that your pretty certain God forgot to give you as a sister?

The people that are there when times get tough? That you can depend on, no matter what?

Before I started this post, I was feeling sorry for myself. I was feeling like I don't have much of a family. Obviously looking at these pictures I am very blessed! I guess I just needed a reminder.

When you’re feeling lonely like I was, just count your blessings. Even if you have to search through all your picture folders to do so!

Until next time…don’t forget to floss!!

The other man in my life

2009-09-21T11:20:00.001-07:00

He is the other man in my life!

Both of my guys are pretty great!!

Fussy baby

2009-09-18T21:39:00.000-07:00

Prince L is fussy. Prince L is almost always fussy at night. He lays in his crib and whines, and babbles. Same thing happens every night. We wake up and stumble to his room, feel around in the pitch black for his binky...hopefully finding said binky without turning on the lights or having to crawl under his crib. Then give him the binky back, only to have to do this again in an hour or so.

I don't know why, but Prince L has never been a good sleeper. I don't know if it goes back to his having colic or that he's always teething. Either way, a full nights sleeps would be awesome! Then again, I would probablly wake up in a panic because he never woke up. Guess it's a loose, loose!

I'm going to go floss my teeth and head off to bed. I'm sure I'll be up in an hour or so, searching for a binky.

Untill next time, don't forget to floss!!

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.."

2009-09-17T19:35:00.000-07:00

Do you know who said that?

How about this one? "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

Anybody?? Dr. Seuss!!!

I absolutely love these quotes! I actually wrote them both down in the kids journals tonite. They are both so inspirational. The title quote really hits home today, because at Princess M's open house tonite, they told us that she is reading at the level of a kindergartener who has been learning to read for 7 months! My baby is READING! They even have her in an advanced group of kids! I am so proud...As a mother, it makes me feel like I'm doing something right. It's really a great feeling. When at other times, we doubt ourselves and the choices we make for our children. Or we have guilt for the choices we did make, or the things we said or didn't say.

I have to admit, that when she is fully capable of reading a book to herself I will be sad. No longer will she need me to read to her. Yes, I'm sure she'lll want me to, but it will never be the same..I'll never have the magic of the story on the tip of my own tounge. Instead, the magic of her reading sentences will replace it. It's very bittersweet.

I can't wait to read my little ones a book in the morning. Untill next time.......don't forget to floss.

Curly korkers and pretty flowers

2009-09-17T08:27:00.000-07:00

I'm thinking of trying to make hairbows. You know? Those cute curly korkers? I know how obsessed I am, with finding the perfect matching clips for Princess M's hair..so I imagine there are other Mom's with the same obsession.

I'm pretty big into craft fairs this time of year, and I've honestly never seen anyone selling these, and I'm really surprised! They are so popular on Etsy.com, you'd think they'd be all over the place. Maybe by this time next year, I will have enough made, so that I can bring them to the craft fairs! Wouldn't that be great?? I'll have plenty of time to practice and of course make some for Princess M as well.

I also really like the alligator clips that are covered in ribbon. The possiblities are endless with these! You can add flower, jewels, crowns...pretty much anything! I'm pretty excited to get started, and I can even have Princess M help!

Wish me luck, and untill next time dont forget to floss!

Migraines......are ruling my life!!

2009-09-15T04:45:00.000-07:00

I have to admit. I'm really sick and tired of my migraines.

Before I had Prince L, my Dr. had me on a great medicine-that worked! No daily headaches, and maybe one migraine a month, if that. Then when I got pregnant, they gave me a medicine that was safe for pregnancy, but didn't work-at all! Headaches almost everyday and migraines two or three times a month. I was miserable. Once I had prince L, Dr put me back on the meds and low and behold, they didn't work anymore! So now I'm on yet another medicine, and it's not working either. Headaches are ruling my life again! I had one so bad last night, that I still feel it a little today. And I don't get to see my Dr until December 12th! I really don't know if I can make it that long.

Until next time......don't forget to floss!!!

My very 1st blog...here goes nothing!

2009-09-14T08:24:00.001-07:00

My main reason for starting my blog is a diary of sorts. A journal for my babies. A scrapbook, if you will. I'd love to remember everything I do with my kids, every minute of everyday, but no one can do that! So here I am blogging about our adventures!

Yep, that's them! Princess M and Prince L! What a cute pair, hu? :) That was a few weeks ago at the pool. Gotta love summer.

My highschool sweetheart (Mr. G) and I have been together for over 10 years now! WOW...everytime I say it, I can't believe it either. Our wedding took place on March 17, 2006. (HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY ALL!!! ) Nothing big, just a special little get together. I just wanted to be Mrs. G...it didnt matter where, or how! That was when Princess M was 2..then we tried for a long time to have Prince L. We were actually told that we may not be able to have him...long story short, he was born on December 12th, 2008. And here we are, 9 months later.

Besides being a mommy, I'm also a DA (dental assistant) I really love doing it. Honestly. Since I HAVE to work (money reasons, of course), I'm glad it's something I love! Now you know where the blog names comes from.

I'll be getting used to my new blog, and hopefully gain a few followers along the way. Untill next time....Don't forget to floss!

..And don't forget to floss!

Dear Princess M
