the world's in sorrow, and devastation
Hello bloggers , not going to ask how your day is today. If your anything like me you are miserable over the occurrences that happened over night to Japan. I know I am very concerned , have prayed and prayed about there safety . Along with those that are in Hawaii and Calli. I hope you are praying for them as well. Today because of the tsunami and the earthquake I wont be righting much. The people are all I can think about and my mind seems to drawl a blank on anything else that is running through my mine. It just continues to boggle my mind about the earthquakes , so many lost , so many dead. And not even all of the people on my mind are from this earthquake. The one in Hati is on my mind and the others that have hit within the last year. I do believe we all know in our hearts what is going on, but how do we fix this. Is it something that can be fixed or is it all ready set in stone? That a question everyone should be asking there self’s. But please take this short blog for today with you were you go , keep the people in your heart and in your mind, and take a moment to say a prayer.
Blog you all tomorrow!

wed-thurs blog plus rant of the week!
Hello my bloggers! Yesterday’s blog was pretty emotional and I'm sorry about that, but for you mothers, you know how hard it is to see your children grow up! This week has been going very slow for me. I feel like it should already be Friday!! Not that I'm looking forward to this weekend or next week because I will be all by myself, no kids :( ! But I do feel like it should be Friday.
Today it is very dreary outside. It’s like I still live in England. Been raining for 3 days. That's ok, though; we need the rain, but not sprinkles like it’s been doing; we need hard core rain! But it doesn't seem like we are going to get that.
I was reminded by my mother the other day that I should really tell you all why I'm so scared of ants. So here it goes. When I was 8 or so I was told by my mother to go clean my room. Shocker, right? That's what moms do, ground you ‘til your rooms clean. Lol. Well so I went to go do it I was almost done and I noticed a cup on my head board that needed to be brought in to the kitchen. So I grabbed the drink (I think it was juice), and wasn't paying any attention to the cup, just that I was almost done. So half way to the kitchen I started to feel like things were crawling all over me and biting me (Ewwww just the thought is freaking me out). I looked down at my arm and screamed bloody murder while I also dropped the cup on the floor- spilling the contents all over the floor. I was so freaked out by the ants all over me biting me that I didn't care about the mess I had just made. I was still screaming (and correct me if I'm wrong, mom, this is where my
memory goes fuzzy) and I do believe that while all of this was going on ( I probably was giving my mom a heart attack) my mother rushed over and found it was just because of ants. She probably thought I was crazy. If I remember correctly, even if I was scared and freaked, I still had to clean up the mess. Now, mind you, these ants were not your normal house ants. We lived by a wooded area and these ants were the giant carpenter ants! HUGE BLACK BITING ANTS!!!!! I HATE ANTS!!!!!! And that my fellow bloggers is how I became so scared of ants, to an almost phobia stage of scared!
Also, another thing that's on my mind today is books. I just want more of them. It’s like every time I buy a bunch I get to looking and I see more that I want. A friend of mine told me that I have a serious problem about buying books. I think she says it because every year in one month I will spend close to 300 dollars in books, and that's just one month, not counting the other 11 months out of the year. Lol. Well, she will find it amusing that now that I have realized my addiction I am looking for a BBA (book buyers anonymous) lol. If that doesn't help me cut down my spending I'm sure that the rising price of gas will! Lol.
That brings me to my RANT OF THE WEEK!!!!! What in the world is going on in this country? Why in the hell do we have to suffer because of a third world country not getting along? In my opinion we should not be spending our money on oil from other places other than our own!! I have heard Alaska is covered in oil, and I know where I live there are oil pumps everywhere, and what about in the ocean- we know it’s there. So instead of spending money buying it overseas, spend the money to drill more here at home!!! I think we might be surprised. Instead of expanding our cities, check for oil! I mean really, why in the world are we spending money we don't have just for oil? There are local companies right here in America with all this oil, give them that money and in return they will help our economy by paying our workers, and our workers will buy more around town! That will boost our economy! That's it- I'm running for president! I really hope the government
can fix this problem soon. People can't afford to go to work and feed their kids if all their money is going into gas to get to either of these places!
That's all for today my bloggers. Hope you enjoyed my blog for today, and I hope you will continue to read my blogs and leave wonderful comments. I love to read your comments. Blog you tomorrow!!!!!

day 5 blog
HELLO BLOGGERS!!!!! How is everyone’s Tuesday? Hope it’s good; mine has been in a pool of pee. Lol. I swear I have not cleaned up so much pee in my life. Thing one has been potty trained for a year but we have been putting her to bed in a diaper. Why? Because she sleeps like a rock. Nothing can wake that child up after she has fallen asleep. So last night I thought I might as well try and see what she does, and of course she peed the bed. Not mad at her. I knew she would. Also, my Thing 2 is three years old, so I figured it was time for him to start learning as well. So all day long he has been wearing underwear…ugg. Like I said- I have never cleaned up so much pee in my life. He is doing ok. It’s just sometimes I don’t think he understands the feeling of when he has to go. Oh and O my goodness boys pee so much more often than girls do. NO JOKE!!!! He will pee three or four times an hour. Hopefully I have enough underwear to last the whole day. He is doing good for the most part considering it is the first day that he has really worn underwear. I have started a sticker sheet for him. Went and bought stickers so he could pick out which sticker he wanted and put it on the sheet every time he goes to the big boy potty!!! He seems to like this idea. A LOT!!!! So hopefully this will help move along the process. Thing 1 came to us and said she was ready. My thing 2 is not so ready but next year I want to try and get him in head start because he won’t be able to start pre-k ‘til he is 5 and I don’t want him to fall behind because he is a very, very smart boy. He can name 20 different dinosaurs and what they eat and how big they are. SO SMART!!!! I am sure that we can get his potty training down by next august!
With that: what in the world am I going to do next year? Thing 1 will be going all day to school, and thing 2 will hopefully be in head start (don’t know if the one here is an all day program or not). What am I going to do with all that free time? If it’s an all day head start I might get a job, maybe I will even see about starting school again? That would be nice if I could go back to school but my husband will be starting school in august so I don’t think I will be able to go at the same time as him. I will need his help with school more then he will need mine. So I am thinking I will have to wait. Which is ok because I’m not necessarily 100% sure that I know what I want to do. I would love to be a librarian but in this state I’m not sure I would be able to get a job at the school, which is where I would want to work. I will have to look more into that.
I think today is emotional for me. Talking about all this potty training and my children heading off to school has got me all up on an emotional rollercoaster. Sitting next to my son just now. I looked over at him and took his hand in mine and I told him I loved him (of course he ignored me because cartoons were on). Then I started noticing how big his hands were getting; then looked at his feet and noticed how big they were getting. He is most defiantly not my little baby boy anymore. His hands and feet used to be 10 times smaller than they are now! (tears) In all these years I knew my kids were getting bigger- I mean goodness they haven’t had the same shoe size in 2 years. But I just am not ready for them to grow up. I feel like the next thing I know, they will be in high school and be too cool for mommy. Whereas right now, I am their best friend, their confidant when they have secrets, their playmate, and their mommy. But soon I will just be annoying mom that asks too many questions, and is to overbearing. (more tears) I need another baby so I don’t have to worry so much. Lol. Just kidding; that won’t happen. Two is enough for us (I guess sad face).
Now for just a little bit of randomness… DO PEOPLE REALLY JUMP OFF OVERPASSES ON TO SPEEDING SEMIS? I mean you see it in movies; did they get that idea because actual criminals and cops do that? Or was it just some random thing they made up that stuck and now everyone uses it in their movies? If it is real I so want to see someone in real life do that. And I mean that as literally as possible, and If I knew I wasn’t going to die doing it, I might even be willing to try, but I know I would die so I just want to see someone do this!!!
That’s all for today; don’t want to bore you too much with my thoughts lol. Hope you all have a great night!
Blog you tomorrow!

Monday blog!
Hello my bloggers; how was your weekend? Good, I hope. Mine went way too fast. It’s like I woke up on Saturday and was awakened again to find it was Monday. Very sad. I hate when the weekends are spent busy, busy, busy because then it seems to just go by in a flash. What did we do this weekend? Well, we had to go grocery shopping, and that ended up also being a scavenger hunt for the cheapest deals on batteries that took us to 3 other stores until we found the greatest deal…ugg. I also had a headache at this time, so it was just miserable. After that, my brother came over to help my husband fix the boat: hooking up the battery and putting in new stuff for the motor. I don’t speak car and driver so I have no idea what they were doing. Then they fixed the trailer. Oh what fun !!!! Sunday was spent almost in the same way except I did get to sleep in, thanks to my wonderful husband. That’s how my weekend went. Sounds like fun, right? Ha …sure it does!
This morning I couldn’t help but think to myself “why are all kids’ cartoons without parents?” I mean, Dora has parents but they just let their 4 year old dilly dally all over the place, and time travel, and jump into story books with evil witches and mean kings. I mean, honestly, is that good parenting? Should I let my children run rampant through the streets? Umm, no, but they see Dora do it along with her wonderful cousin Diego and they think it’s ok to be left alone outside. As my daughter told me this weekend “it’s ok, mommy, you go take a nap. I will watch Justin; I’m a big girl now.” I was like “yes, my dear, you are 4 years old going on 20. Sure, I will just take a nap wile you run rampant all over my house and destroy everything. Why not? All the cartoon children are doing it.” It’s not just Dora, either: all the cartoons with toddler characters in it like Little Bear, Olivia, Little Einsteins and so much more. They do teach our children lots of good things but they teach the older children watching some bad things as well. Now don’t get me wrong, I love that my kids watch these shows because they have learned how to count in Spanish, sing their ABC’s before starting school, and so much more. The point I am getting at now is how hard would it be to have a little bit more parent interaction in these cartoons? It wouldn’t be hard at all, just more time consuming!
Okay, and here is another thing: BIRDS ARE ANOYING!! I have birds all over the place here in spring and in the fall. I guess you would call them black birds. They are not as big as crows but they are black so that’s what I’m going to call them. They live in my yard, or up in my trees, and they squawk and drive me nuts all day!!! It makes me want to pull out one of our many guns and just starting shooting these stupid birds! But I won’t do that because I know they will go away eventually; I just have to wait ‘til then. But still, birds are very, very annoying! Here is a picture of my trees covered in the birds. Not a great picture because there are more than you can see but still, you will get the picture.
On a side note, I think my dog Penny has hurt her back leg muscle :( very worried about her !!!

That’s all for today my blogger buddies; blog you tomorrow!

day 3- Friday mind blitz
HAPPY FRIDAY MY BLOGGERS!!!!!!
Is everyone ready for the weekend? I know I am: two days with the love of my life and my two beautiful children! Weekends are always fun!!!! My grandmother isn’t coming; I cleaned for no reason. But that is OK because my grandfather is sick and I would most defiantly prefer him to feel better!!!! Plus the house needed the spring cleaning I did. I threw a lot of stuff away that was just lying around taking up space. This time I’m going to try to keep everything where it is suppose to be so I don’t have to work so hard the next time!!! Wish me luck on that one lol. (I always say this, and it lasts maybe a week.)
So those that know me will know I am a music junky! I listen to everything from hard rock to hip hop to country, and occasionally I have been known to be caught red handed listening to my grandfather’s folk music! So with that being said, I am absolutely in love with country radio right now. It used to be I would only listen to country music in the car (for the kids). Well here lately I have fallen in love with it, plus rap and rock music just aren’t the same anymore. I mean really who wants to listen to Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga; (although my daughter does like that “baby” song from Justin, and I do like “bad romance” by Gaga) and let’s face it: rock music has become very repetitive (just my opinion). I just want to know what happened to great artists like (my favorite) No Doubt, and some original Jay Z or hell DMX!!!!! I will say that I am a big fan of the indie rock right now, but you don’t hear the wonderful, Lights, or Imogen Heap on the radio (well not here at least). I have also begun to be an avid listener to Christian bands such as RED, and Skillet (you will have to check these four bands out). So with all that being said , I just feel that all the good rappers are fading to the blackness, and the rockers of my time trying to fit in to the today ( i.e.: Green Day). I have no choice but to turn to my roots of country music. It will never change; they still sing of broken hearts, cheating husbands, revenge, and love (better than anyone ever has). So with that being said, don’t you miss the good days when on every channel you turned the radio to, there was a song you LOVED? I know I miss it!
Have added a play list of those four bands for your listening pleasure!!!!! Enjoy!
Another thing that has run through my mind today- well I should say this morning- is friends. Am I the only one that loves all of their friends so much that it would be painful and heartbreaking if you lost any of them? Probably not. I have four best friends; some I talk to on a regular basis, others I talk to on occasion, but I consider them my best friends because it would be (like I said) painful to be without them. You all might think I’m crazy. You’re saying to yourself “You would live; you’re just being overly dramatic!” Well, you are half right, I am being overly dramatic because I would live, but as for the pain, I’m not being dramatic. I have gone through almost losing a friend that I have had for years, (and when I say years I mean it) and it really did feel like my heart was bleeding. So to all my besties….. I LOVE YOU, AND WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!!!! I HOPE YOU ALL KNOW THAT!!!!! Oh and by the way, my besties, if you are reading this and not leaving comments (you know who you are) I’m going to seriously hurt you! Friends are so important: they laugh with you, cry with you, play around with you (in my case this means that they follow my stupid games like going along with my randomness). Of course, after a short time, or a long time depending on the friend, you start to become attached. You want to know everything about this person and them, you. Then after a while you start to feel love towards them. They help you out when you need it, and (in my case) you would give them a left lung if they asked for it (Not that any of my friends would want my lung). So with that being said, now you know that friendship is on my mind today. And, well, it’s important to hold to those that you hold dear. Hold them and carry them very close to your heart.
Also, what is up with dogs???? My dogs are so, so crazy. I have two. One is a mixed bread (of what I couldn’t tell you). She is very small, but she is the alpha in my little pack, even with my little pups. She runs the show around here, and we have a lab that is twice her size and she still controls everything. WEIRD: I THINK SO. Penny, my little alpha, will jump the back yard fence to chase away coyotes, and other dogs, and of course if a person that she is not used to comes in my back yard she will go ballistic. She has also been known to bark and growl at men, even ones that she has known for a very long time. She just doesn’t like men I guess. She has also herded my children to the porch and kept them there when a man came in the back yard to talk to my husband. SHE IS SUCH A GOOD DOG!!!! Ally, my lab, is just to playful and, well, a puppy. She will only bark at other animals but has no protective instinct. That’s ok though, because it’s nice to have a loving puppy around and not just penny my alpha tuff bitch (pardon my French, but she is). Here is a picture of my girls! (That’s what I call them even though I have a daughter; I do not put her in the category of my girls) -Penny on left, Ally on right!

They do tend to make me very angry. Ally has a chewing problem, but I have heard that it’s a lab thing so I just try to pick everything up so she won’t have to get in trouble for it. Penny has a problem with being too ALPHA. She will growl and snap at Ally when they are fed because she believes she has the right to eat first. This makes me very angry, so I have started sitting with them and feeding them separately! Even though they have their faults, I believe they have feelings just like people do and I treat them as my other children (Even though they do sleep outside, or in my laundry room). Every person has a fault, and the chewing and being too ALPHA, is there’s.
Other random things that have came to my mind today: rain; thank GOD for the rain that It looks like we are about to get. My dad is a farmer and could really use the rain, and my little family would really like to have a bonfire one of these weekends and we can’t without rain because we are in a burn ban. SO THANK YOU GOD! Also have been thinking about tacos, and how much I could really go for some awesome Mexican food right now! Maybe I can convince my husband to take us out to eat this weekend for some Mexican food!!!! Hmmm …. might be worth the try. I will bat my eyes and wear something sexy and see if that will persuade him. Lol. Still probably won’t work, because we have so much to do this weekend but still, it’s worth a try. My mind has also been running on the track of spring break for my daughter is right around the corner; what will I do? They are not going to be here, my thing 1 and thing 2. They will be staying the week with their nana. So the question is: what in the world am I going to do, all by myself with no hoodlums to chase after? Answer: I have no idea!!!!
One random crazy thing my mind has pondered today is: wouldn’t it suck to be ant? I sure think it would, but then again I have a phobia about ants. I can look at them from a distance but if one crawls on me I flip out. I am fine with other bugs (well, besides bees) but ants freak me out big time. But that isn’t the only reason why it would suck to be an ant. Can you imagine running around all hurry-scurry-like to do a job that is life threatening every single day? It would have to be miserable because here you are, minding your own business, doing your job that the queen told you to do. Then BAM, out of nowhere, you are squished by a dog, or a person, or a car! That would just be HORRIBLE!!!!!
That’s my randomness for the day my fellow blogging community. Once again I will not be blogging on the weekends so this is tata for now (or ttfn as tigger would say) and have a great weekend! Blog you on Monday!

Day 2- The random mind of me
Good afternoon my bloggers! A funny tidbit: when I first wrote that sentence I said my boogers lol. Today my entry will be short and sweet because I will probably be updating in length tomorrow: A) because I won’t be writing entries during the weekends and B) because I am still trying to get a lot done around the house! You know spring cleaning lol.
Today has been, well, normal. My children (you know, thing 1 and thing 2 lol ) are acting like they have just eaten an entire bucket of ice cream. Mind you, they haven’t, but they are still acting like it. They fight over the most bizarre things and it leaves me only asking myself one question: were my brothers and sister this bad when we were kids? Answer: yes, probably. Thing 1 will cry and get angry because thing 2 is looking at her, and thing 2 will cry and get angry because thing 1 will not talk to him! This will go on for hours. Then it stops and they play for oh, I don’t know, twenty minutes or so. Then they are back at it again. Oh the joys of being a mommy. Ha! I love it, though. A little secret: (whispers) I actually find them very funny when they fight.
Also my mind has been in many different places today (not any more than normal). Like, for instance, the question of “why can’t I keep indoor plants alive?” They should be the easiest to take care of, right? Umm… no, they are not. I have killed two mother-in-law plants and two ivies and I’m not sure why. I water them just like I do the outside plants. I stick them in the proper amount of sunlight. Am I able to keep them alive? Absolutely not!!!
My mind has also been around such weird things as “I wonder if volcanoes are still popping out of mountains that nobody knew were volcanoes?” I am not sure where that came from. I was just sitting outside (on what I like to refer as my union breaks) and it just happened to wonder to the thought of volcanoes! Super weird. I have also been rolling around the idea of dream jobs. What would be my dream job? At one point it was that I want to own my own bar. That’s not going to happen. Then I thought maybe I wanted to be a teacher. Ha, yea, that plan was a waist of effort. I don’t even have enough patience with trying to teach myself something new. How in the world would I teach others? I have finally settled on the fact that I would make a great librarian!!! (Go on people that know me; shake your head, giggle a little, and let’s move on.) I think I would be great at it. I love, love, love books of any and every kind. Literally my best friend the other day was talking about burning a school book and I was like “No, no! Don’t ever burn a book!” Even though I would have never read the book, nor do I have any interest, I still found it very hard to allow her to burn the book. Someone might want it. Besides I love kids and even though I don’t want to teach them I would love to enhance their desire to read as a past time. I would be a very FUN librarian!!!!!!
This mind of mine has also been with our new boat today. I cannot wait to take it out on the lake with the kids and go fishing and tubing and just plan have a blast. Hurry up summer. And of course with that thought comes the thought of WOW MOTHER NATURE I THINK YOUR DRUNK!!!!!! In January here we had a weekend of almost 80 degree weather; then two days later we had a blizzard. Now we are in nice 70 degrees with winds that would knock a baby over!!! But yesterday it was 40 degrees. So, Mother Nature, I think I’m going to enroll you in AA!!!
Have a great day or night or whatever my blogger buddies. Talk to you tomorrow!!!!!!
P.S thank you to whom this may concern (you know who you are)!!!! shhhhh lets see if you catch this

day 1 - the first look into my mind!
Well hello all bloggers!
I'm new to this blogging thing but have decided to give it a try, mainly because I have always wanted to, but never really thought any one would care and to be quite honest: you probably won’t. You see, the thing is, my head is always filled with random, off the wall thoughts and sayings (I'm a naturally random person). My facebook was getting backed up with all of my randomness that (let’s be honest) no one really wants to see all over their facebook page when they open it up. I know I hate it. Call me a hypocrite ... go on....it’s fine. I will leave a pause here for you to say all you want about me right now...
~
~
~
Well ok, now that we have that out of the way, if you’re still reading: That is awesome. If not then is shouldn't be writing to you. lol. Now, back to the other reasons why I wanted to start a blog. You see, as my blog is called, I am a stay at home mom; a stay at home mom with probably way too much time on my hands. Cleaning the house to me is a lot like what I would believe it would feel like for a train to be derailed - time consuming and tedious. My kids are all over the place, and the moment I pick something up, it stays put up for oh, I don't know maybe 5 minutes! Very frustrating. If you are a stay at mom who this little thing doesn't bother, my hats off to you because it drives me up the walls. So that I leave to once a week. I do a full clean and then of course when my grandmother comes I have to do a full spring clean even if it’s the middle of winter (more about that later). Also my kids (we will call them thing 1 and thing 2) are growing up and they just don't take near as much of my time as they used to. I will have to admit this breaks my heart.
Thing 1 started pre-k this year and next year will be going full time in school. Again, this kills me because, well, thing 2 has been independent from the day he came into this world. So he has no desire for me to play with him or talk to him. Actually he would probably prefer if I wasn't even here. lol . I miss them being babies, I really do!! But I am sure that in a few years I will say I miss them being this age.
So in order to have someone to talk to and something to do with my thoughts, I have started a blog.
Seeing how this is my first day I’m just going to give you a run-down on what has been popping in and out of my head all day long !!! MY PTA!!!
Shocked? Probably not, right? I’m a stay at home mom with a kid in school; it’s probably very common! lol
Well ok, so I live in a small little town right next to a city. So this means I live in a town that all the big shots that work in the city live in and that means that all the moms are pretty much stay at home moms too. Well that’s great for them. I mean, really, I would love to be these women but unfortunately I am not. We don't live in a big mansion and we don't have 50,000 dollar cars. We are not poor by any means; we just are not as well off as they are. Well, I joined this PTA before knowing what it was like in this town. BAD IDEA. Now I don't go to all the meetings and I have only met some of these women once so I may be wrong, but I feel like when I do get together with them. I am some fungus that is growing on their beautiful roses. I'm young, I have two kids, I don't look like a trophy wife, nor do I act like one. The looks that I get from these women just make me want to run for the hills (This saying will probably pop up a lot).
Anyways, Thing 1 had a school function last night. It was Dr. Seuss's birthday (hence the reason for my using of Thing 1 and Thing 2) and of course we went it was only a mommy and kid thing so just me and Thing 1 went. I felt like such an outcast!!! Who shows up to a school function dressed to the hills when all you do all day is take care of kids or a house???? Please someone tell me! So here I am in my blue jeans and my favorite college football team shirt on, and flip flops, might I add, and all these woman are in slacks and dressy shirts with high heels. Ugg I just wanted to turn away and go back home , but I didn't; we stayed. Thing 1 and I actually had a very good time!!! She really is a great kid!
I want to be a part of the PTA but it’s hard to be interactive with these women. I’m sure they’re nice but I’m not great with people giving me that nasty stare that speaks a thousand words. I know you know what I’m talking about!!! So in order for me to be a part of this PTA group I guess I will just have to spend my husband’s hard earned money and buy some snazzy outfits and always have my hair done and always look up to par. Hmmmmm that’s probably still not going to work because, once again, I am young and have two kids. Maybe I can find a scientist and just pay him a bunch of money to make me look older? I will have to look into that!
So that’s one thing that has been on my mind today and if you guys who are reading this have any suggestions on how to deal with this situation that would be great. Oh and might I remind you again if you are one of these woman who can look great and still do all the stuff that we do around the house: SERIOUSLY MY HATS OFF TO YOU! I'm more jealous than anything lol .
I won’t keep you much longer, I just have to add a few random thoughts to show you more into who I am. Ok,
so also .....you ready for this?! WHY IN THE WORLD HAVEN'T PEOPLE INVENTED ROBOTS YET??!! I want to go out and buy one so I don't have to do half the stuff I do! I mentioned earlier that when my grandmother comes I have to spring clean. Well that’s what I have been doing all week and will continue doing until late Friday night. You see, she is an owner of her own cleaning serves and she cleans very nice houses probably just like the women on my PTA own! (Food for thought) So I have to pretty much tie my kids up and say don't play, move, touch, just don't! I do this for a week before she gets here and then the entire time that she is here. You see, she is getting up there in age and she has a bad knee and a bad hip and has fibromyalgia (not sure if I spelled that right). So I try to make her stay as comfortable as possible and that means not having her mind looking on every shelf for dust bunnies ( if you follow my drift). She gets very into cleaning, (is a clean freak), and honestly I think she likes to clean, but I don't want her to have to do that here so I try my best! So again, why hasn't anyone made that robot so I could have some help around here?
Another short one ....it just happened. Thing 2 does not have window blinds in his room because he can’t be trusted with them (he destroys them). He knows he is not supposed to touch them but.... he does it anyway. Kids: they make me laugh .
Leaving you with that, have a great day ...or I hope you have had one (if you’re a late night reader). Blog you tomorrow!
I'm new to this blogging thing but have decided to give it a try, mainly because I have always wanted to, but never really thought any one would care and to be quite honest: you probably won’t. You see, the thing is, my head is always filled with random, off the wall thoughts and sayings (I'm a naturally random person). My facebook was getting backed up with all of my randomness that (let’s be honest) no one really wants to see all over their facebook page when they open it up. I know I hate it. Call me a hypocrite ... go on....it’s fine. I will leave a pause here for you to say all you want about me right now...

Well ok, now that we have that out of the way, if you’re still reading: That is awesome. If not then is shouldn't be writing to you. lol. Now, back to the other reasons why I wanted to start a blog. You see, as my blog is called, I am a stay at home mom; a stay at home mom with probably way too much time on my hands. Cleaning the house to me is a lot like what I would believe it would feel like for a train to be derailed - time consuming and tedious. My kids are all over the place, and the moment I pick something up, it stays put up for oh, I don't know maybe 5 minutes! Very frustrating. If you are a stay at mom who this little thing doesn't bother, my hats off to you because it drives me up the walls. So that I leave to once a week. I do a full clean and then of course when my grandmother comes I have to do a full spring clean even if it’s the middle of winter (more about that later). Also my kids (we will call them thing 1 and thing 2) are growing up and they just don't take near as much of my time as they used to. I will have to admit this breaks my heart.
Thing 1 started pre-k this year and next year will be going full time in school. Again, this kills me because, well, thing 2 has been independent from the day he came into this world. So he has no desire for me to play with him or talk to him. Actually he would probably prefer if I wasn't even here. lol . I miss them being babies, I really do!! But I am sure that in a few years I will say I miss them being this age.
So in order to have someone to talk to and something to do with my thoughts, I have started a blog.
Seeing how this is my first day I’m just going to give you a run-down on what has been popping in and out of my head all day long !!! MY PTA!!!
Shocked? Probably not, right? I’m a stay at home mom with a kid in school; it’s probably very common! lol
Well ok, so I live in a small little town right next to a city. So this means I live in a town that all the big shots that work in the city live in and that means that all the moms are pretty much stay at home moms too. Well that’s great for them. I mean, really, I would love to be these women but unfortunately I am not. We don't live in a big mansion and we don't have 50,000 dollar cars. We are not poor by any means; we just are not as well off as they are. Well, I joined this PTA before knowing what it was like in this town. BAD IDEA. Now I don't go to all the meetings and I have only met some of these women once so I may be wrong, but I feel like when I do get together with them.
