Talking Out My Yipper

Lastnight I got to experience a screaming, crying baby for over 2 hours. I'm not being mean about it and wasn't upset or anything but it was the confirmation I needed from the Sweet Baby J that my birthing days are over and I can thank Him for that (Jesus not Luke) LOL! Nobody realizes just how often young, sexy, awesome Mothers get asked "Sooo, when you guys gonna have another?" Well, let me tell you: it's too often. What's it matter? What's it any of your business? Why do you care? It's like it's just something to talk about; but that's why I thought people talked about the weather... Anywho, there is only a few answers that anybody could give (all of which are super personal and shouldn't be shared with anyone but...) they are: A. Yes we are trying, but failing miserably. B. No we aren't trying anymore b/c I had my cervix removed. And 3. Screw off you nosey jerk. But when family and true friends ask me, it's cool b/c they like r

So I sit on my computer at 12:30 am, and wonder, yet again, what to blog about...I feel like my blog is lame and needs some sort of "theme." Why do I feel like I can't just write what I want?? so ~same bat time, same bat channel~ This past weekend has been ROUGH!! Brian is not working and his schedule just isnt vibing with me! I mean, there is no time to chill and think or veg out. It's go go go all the time. I did hear him say a few times this weekend that this is the busiest he's been in forever. So thank the Lord for that b/c today when I got home from volunteering at the church I was all "I'm napping."----- like end of story, not a question. And NAP I DID! I slept for over 4 hours!! GOOD LORD! I can't remember the last time I did that! Anywho, it was fabulous. But I'm pretty sure that I love *food* more than sleep. This has been a smorgasbord of food since our...um...tax return and I'm LOVING IT!! Friday was Doc Pierce's Saloon

Yesterday was Brian's first day *not* working & I'm not so sure I like it. I can't just slack off and sleep all day like I used (or so he thought) :) I actually have to do stuff because he's around with his judgemental eyes on me LOL No, really, yesterday was one of the busiest days I've had in a while and I fill my lungs with air and say... I got up at 7 am and took a shower, made Em's lunch, quickly drank a cup of coffee, woke Will up with his miwk at 7:30, watched the Today show Olympic update for about 10 minutes, made Will's breakfast, got him dressed, fixed his hair b/c it was crrrrraazzzyyy!, brushed his teeth, and did the same for myself, got ourselves ready to walk out the door, drove Will to preschool, drove Em to middle school, went to my sister's for pancakes, came home and did dishes, cleaned the bathroom, checked my email, facebooked for only about 5 minutes :( drove back to get Will, came home and fixed lunch (fastest I've ever eat

Yesterday, 11:15 couldn't come soon enough...that's when Will gets out of preschool and it was his 1st day!! He was all smiles when they brought him to the truck (curb-side service: I likey!). He didn't even get himself buckled in before he was trying to take stuff out of his bookbag to show me what he made. Once he was settled, he rambled on and on about the letter x and showed me his project. Then he said he learned about George Washington who is on "Johnny" (cash) and the next time he gets some from Poppa Dodge, he'll show me :) Then we went right down the street to his Mimi's office and she showered him with hugs and kisses, of course. Then I surprised him by having his bff, Mazerick, and his Mommy meet us at McDonald's!! When I brought his chicken nugget happy meal to him he said that since he's a big boy and in school...he only eats cheeseburgers now LOL. And while there, I almost had to knock this old jerkface down a few notches in the pl

Yesterday, I took Will to his new pre-school to meet his teacher Ms. Jayne and to show him around. (it was president's day so no kids were there) He checked everything out and played with the toys while Ms. Jayne and I talked and filled out paperwork. She explained what his day would be like and WHO KNEW! he would have gym class and field trips!! Also, she explained the Letter of the Week was X and today he would learn about George Washington. She told Will that Mondays is "Show & Tell" and he can bring something that starts with the Letter of the Week...although, she said X is too hard and he could bring something with the letter x IN the word. Will took his Lexus :) LOL. Then when it was time to go, Will didn't want to leave. Ms. Jayne probably thinks I'm abusive because Will *really* wanted to stay there! But she explained how he has to go home and sleep good and come back when the other kids were gonna be there (worked like a charm). Will talked about scho

In the book The Stepmom's Guide to Simplifying You Life there is a part where I am to write a short paragraph about who I am and what defines me to others. I am to "jot down" the answers as if I am talking to a friend over coffee... I'm a woman who loves ______________ and _____________ and _______________. I believe in _____________ and ___________. I find great enjoyment in ____________ and ____________. I cannot tolerate ______________ and _____________. I am _________________ and _____________ and ___________________________. I want to improve __________________. More than anything, I want _______________ and _________________. Then it goes on to say "So were you able to fill in the blanks completely, without breaking a sweat? If not, you soon will, b/c living in a stepfamily, you'll come to rely more and more on who you really are. You'll continually deepen what you know about yourself as you grow in your role. You may have to study and wrestle and w

Will is already old enough to play tee ball!! OH MY WORD!! I remember "walkin' the mile" while in labor, secretly wishing that it was over and done with and my child was already walking and talking and no late nights and loss of sleep would be suffered. I regret that now b/c it happened. He's walking: check. He's talking: check. He's gonna be 5 in less than 2 months: check. Just signed him up for tee ball: double check. This just can't be happening. The time went too fast. I'm not ready to give him up for school either. That's like 6 whole hours in the day that he will be somewhere else, like not with me, like: uncheck! I don't likey. I supposed I could homeschool him??....but let's not fool anyone here...I love my son but I don't want to be the sole person responsible for his smarts and knowledge and stuff like that. I only have an associates degree in general studies...C'MON PEOPLE! I am also realizing that with Will being gone 6
