The super cute flower hat 1970-01-01 00:59:59 For those of you inquiring about Marigrace's hat in this video. My sister sells them in her store. She also has a headband that's super cute too. When I take her out in these people go crazy over her. It's a lot of fun. My sister also has a monthly cute baby photo contest where you can win stuff from her store. Sometimes I get to help her pick the winner and I'm not opposed to bribery. Read more:flower
A shout out to my blogging friends 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I thought today would be a good day to follow Morgen's lead and write about my blogging friends. Especially after yesterday's sadistic post. Sorry if any of you pissed your pants. Nothing like a little evil cheer to get you going in the morning.I've only been blogging for three months and I'm amazed at how important it has become in my life. Honestly, I started my blog to help plug my sister's new online boutique but it lead to what it is now because I found that I like to write and I love the comments even more. I can spend hours reading other blogs and in three months time I have made quite a few friends. This post is dedicated to those friends but I don't want to leave out the friends without blogs that I know are lurking. I'm so blessed to have you in my life. I love you and appreciate you. Feel free to comment on my blog. You don't need to have a blog to do so.My first blogging friend was Tabba. She was my first commenter and she kept coming back. Obviously she liked what Read more:shout
My baby has turned on me! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Marigrace has decided she prefers Mr. Fun Guy. She didn't get much of a nap yesterday because we were on the go all day with the activities of our older kids. She woke up around 10 p.m. so I had her sit in my lap while I was on the 'puter. Hubby walks in and she kicks her legs and flaps her arms in excitement. He talks to her for a few minutes then left the kitchen. She cried! I called hubby back in and she stopped crying, thrashing in excitement. She squirmed like she wanted down so I put her on the floor and she did her Ape Crawl to hubby. I'd put my arms out to hold her and she would pull away like I was the devil. I can't believe she would turn on me when I have the groceries. I'm still nursing 4-5 times a day. She has some nerve since I'm the one who miserably carried her in my belly for 9 months, had her cut out of me, changes 99% of her diapers, gets up with her in the middle of night, and takes care of her needy ass the majority of the time. Hubby gets to be Mr. Fun Guy. Read more:turned
Made a bet and got bit! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I made a deal with my oldest daughter, Madeline that I would buy her a Webkinz for every A she got on her report card. As I have mentioned before she has an auditory processing problem and her test taking skills aren't the best so I felt pretty confident that I would be buying one or two at the most. We didn't see many A's over the last two school years. Well it bit me in the ass! She got four A's! I'm extremeley proud of her but it killed to me to buy FOUR of those wretched stuffed animals. We have now renegotiated the reward for A's to one Webkinz for every four A's. I mean really how many of these does she need? Also do teachers have to take a class in bullshitting? The comments on the girl's report cards crack me up. Madeline's teacher wrote that she is an enthusiastic learner and always active in class discussions:Translation: Madeline is too hyper, talks too much, and needs to raise her hand rather than shout out answers.Her teacher also wrote that an area of improvement
Size does matter! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Here's my new pimped out ride.We had outgrown my Chevy Tahoe with having four kids, carpooling, and the long trips we take. Grocery shopping with all four kids was a joke because there wasn't enough room for the groceries. Nice excuse to shop by myself though. The best part is that in an accident the entire inside puffs up like a marshmellow. I'm going to be paying hubby back with sexual favors for a looong time!Other good news is I have left the 150's. I'm down to 149.5 lbs! Wooohoo! Not all is good though. I'm home today with a toothache and four kids. Read more:matter

My adventures with the Bakery Nazi 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Momish wrote a post about a "Seinfeld Moment" and asked us to share ours. I've had many but my most recent one has actually has been going on for some time and reminds me of the Soup Nazi episode. It's the one where the Soup Nazi would yell, "No soup for you!" if his customers did not follow his soup ordering instructions.My Soup Nazi works in the bakery at my grocery store. She has worked there for years and watches me with my kids to be sure we don't break her rules such as making sure I don't let them stand on the shelf to get their own donut or not using the paper to get our treats out of the case. Most of the time I can just ignore her but there was a time she made me angry. I left my cart in the bakery while I took my toddler to the restroom. We were gone less than ten minutes and when we came back our cart was gone. I asked the Bakery
Nazi if she knew what had happened to my cart. She claimed that she thought it had been abandoned so she took it up to the service desk. Oh p
Desperate Housewives and potty humor 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Did you see tonight's episode of DesperateHousewives
? Were you bawling like a baby at the end? I was. I won't spoil it for those who Tivo'd it but damn it was good. In my opinion it was their best episode ever. Ranks up there with the one where Lynnette became addicted to Ritalin. I hope to see more writing like that.On a brighter note; here is a funny video for your viewing pleasure. Read more:potty

My boobs are offensive! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I got a double emotional whammy today. The first is that Marigrace is refusing to nurse except for her morning feeding. Fortunately that one is my favorite because I bring her in bed with me and we cuddle. The rest of the day she cries, pinches my boobs, and pulls away as if I was offering poison. It sucks big donkey dicks! (Oh my! I haven't used that phrase in years!)Crank Mama can't get her babe to wean and mine can't wait! Do I sound bitter? Actually it is bittersweet. It would be nice to have my girls back and start shopping for sexy, padded push-up bras but I didn't think it would happen this quickly. Being the control freak that I am I wanted to be the one to decide when to wean. Marigrace is my last baby and it saddens me that time is going so fast. I can't believe she is nearly a year old. God forbid I blink because she might get her period and start learning to drive. I loved breastfeeding my babies so weaning has been hard on me with all of them. I got myself knocked up
Family Traditions 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I love family traditions, probably more than the average person because growing up in my dysfunctional family meant the only family tradition we could count on was my mom having a mental breakdown at some point during the holidays. I got through those shitty holidays with the hope that one day I would have my own family to create happy family traditions. No surprise that I married a man who comes from a family that makes a big deal about traditions. There are a lot of things that drive me crazy about his family but this is one thing that I really love about them. He is one of ten kids so our family get-togethers are huge parties. Most of the activities revolve around the kids unlike my parents who treated us like we were burdens.They have a huge Easter egg hunt every Easter, and a pumpkin carving contest during Halloween. On Thanksgiving we have a turkey contest where all the kids win first prize but they don't seem to catch on because one may win first prize for best use of pine cone Read more:Family
I'm back. Did you miss me? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I'm back from our fifth annual Branson vacation with hubby and kids. We went with another family with kids close to the same age as ours and for the most part had a good time. The weather started off fabulously warm but turned quite cold when the wind and rain came in on Friday. Saturday was better due to the sun. We spent Friday and Saturday at Silver Dollar City. They've added ten new rides which the kids loved but I was disappointed about a few things. I had talked up the live nativity show and Tinker The Talking Tree to the mom of the other family. They were supposed to be the highlights of the amusement park and instead they were disappointing. The Tinker show was not as kid friendly as it had been in years passed and the live nativity scene was a disaster. What was supposed to be the re-enactment of Jesus's birth turned out to be a presentation on biblical musical instruments. After twenty minutes we realized that we must be at the wrong show and along with several other peopl
My seat belt soap box 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I'm someone who doesn't believe in coincidences. I think everything happens for a reason especially bad things in order for lessons to be learned, for change to happen, and to allow for grace. I've written about this grace before in my 9-11 Remembrance post. Today I ran across a video that helped affirm that I'm not just a neurotic freak. Well, okay, I am a neurotic freak but on this particular issue I think I have reason to worry about the risk of death or injury to my children in the car. I wrote about how my hubby thinks my car anxiety is a little overboard in my last post. I was really feeling bad about how anxious I got in the car during our road trip and then I saw this video from a mother who lost her three year old son in a car accident. Grab a tissue and watch this video. Kyle did not die in vain. His death has saved and will save many lives by making the public aware of the dangers of improper buckling and buckles that unlatch in accidents. I especially hope those of you Read more:seat belt

I think I dated him before I was married.The post I was supposed to write in honor of Momish who I nominated for Izzy and Mommy Off The Record's ROTFL Award. Please go read it.

I will be very pissy if I don't place.Feeling stressed about getting the current slideshow I'm working done by Thanksgiving.

Family Council 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I want to thank everyone who left supportive comments in regards to my car anxiety that I wrote about in this post. Hubby read the post and comments. I think he needed to see that I'm not the only mom who freaks out about car safety. After reading it he came and found me to give me a hug. He apologized for nearly giving me a panic attack during our last road trip. We have another road trip next week and this time I'm either driving or sitting in the back. I'll keep a couple Xanax in my pocket just in case. I never imagined my blog would become a way to communicate with my hubby. I was actually planning to call a family council this weekend to discuss the driving issue. Although we've reached an understanding on this issue I still plan to have family council this weekend. We haven't had one in a couple of months and when I started it I had planned on doing it once a month. Our family life is so hectic and our council has been a great way to communicate about what is and isn't work Read more:Family

Lipstick Massacre 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Yesterday I got to spend the entire day shopping BY MYSELF! While I was getting gussied up I let Marigrace play with my make-up bag. This has been a great way to keep her entertained while I put my face on. She eventually got bored so I put her in the t.v. room with my other kids. I finished blow drying my hair and then cleaned up the make-up she had dumped out of my bag. That's when I noticed that I had a lipstick cap but no lipstick tube. I couldn't find it anywhere and then it dawned on me where it could be. In Marigrace's hands! I ran in the t.v. room to find her missing but it wasn't hard to find her. I just followed the lipstick hand prints to find this:Even the dog had lipstick on! It did not come off of her easily because I use the kind that stays on until I take it off. Luckily I was able to get it out of the carpet by using Krud Kutter. Awesome stuff for these kinds of messes. I get it from Target. I found the whole thing funny once the mess was cleaned up. Surprisingly s Read more:Lipstick
