Compulsive Computer Interactors

I've recently discovered compulsive computer interactors and wondered if I'd become addicted. Like many addictions, we allow it to take over our lives which results in specific behaviors. The past couple weeks I've been on facebook playing games that never interested me before and once I started playing I found myself spending hours on the computer. Working from home allows me to do so. I spend a great deal of time on the internet and felt my legs cramping because I get too involved in what I'm doing on the web, I forget how long I'm actually sitting at the desk. It wasn't until this weekend when B said to me that my headaches could be from this. You don't often realize how much time is spent on the computer and it kind of shocks you when someone mentions it. Five days out of the week, I'm home by myself for eight hours and to think that a majority of that time is on the web is disturbing. I enjoy writing but that doesn't take up a lot of my time. I can whip up a post in a matter of minutes. I can print shipping labels quick, resulting in time left over to talk to family and friends on fb and sb. I observed a behavior that even my eldest daughter has picked up when she's playing games on webkinz. When told to get off and get ready for dinner she tunes her parents out, making us say it more than once. She gets an attitude when she finally releases herself from that activity. Making me think twice about what this addiction is doing to many computer interactors. It's time to relieve ourselves from this shocking addiction and take time for the important things in life. I'm limiting myself and my family on the web. The actual hours on it for myself is ridiculous. Even if I am by myself when they are at school, I'm going for a run instead.  

Throw The Amaretto Sours My Way

Been way too long since I got tipsy. I so need to. My little sis and I were talking on the phone last night about how we used to go dance and have a freaking blast. We're way too silly when we get together. Neither of us have gone out in years and every mother deserves. How I wish I was in NY at this moment. With the never ending appointments, trying to get things taken care of and not to mention the person that wants me to go to hell, I think I deserve an Amaretto Sour and some Lemon Drops. Will it happen. Probably not. I had to keep Miss H up late last night...we didn't make it until midnight and slept til 7 (oops) but we're so tired our eyes are black. Getting the blood work this morning was ridiculous and now we are getting ready to drive 45 min to get the EEG tests done. She's drawing right now and has been carrying her Fur Real Panda around that her Aunt Sonz got for her. She said, "Mom, how come she's not talking to me. I thought she was For Real."

In the meantime if you go out tonight, have an Amaretto Sour and a Lemon Drop and think of me;)

I Can't Stop Laughing

At Anonymous. First of all, man the fuck up and leave ur name when you leave a comment trying to bash me and my lady Nancy Grace. Your words meant nothing to me and to leave comments as Anonymous just made it that more funny. Fall Back. This is my shit your on but I'm glad you felt the need to put your two cents in because I don't make cents, I make DOLLARS. Hahaha....yes! I crack myself up!

I welcome your feedback but when you start calling me names that calls for some major Brawling. I hope your ready to keep stalking my blog to see if I responded to your ridiculous comments (notice the s on the end). Anyone that knows me, knows that I don't allow someone to talk to me like that. I will have the last fucking word bitch. You obviously don't know me well because if you did then you would have known that starting with me is the last thing you wanna do. I don't come from a place where you let people talk shit to ya. If you wanna fight, let's fight. You brought it, I'll finish it.

Feel free to keep hiding your face because at this point I think your looking like a sloth with no balls. Carry on. No words anyone ever says to me can EVER make me change the way I am or my opinions. I write what I wanna write. Plain and Simple.

And FYI. I have left comments on peoples blogs that may not necessarily agree with them but I have put MY name on it not Anonymous. Why. Because I'm Real. Your as FAKE as they come. Poor You.

Oh Where, Oh Where Is My Splash Of Spring

One of the reasons we moved down here was the warmth and sunshine. The winters are like spring but this winter knocked us out cold. It's warmed up a bit but taking the girls in the morning, we still have to bundle up. Not norm. I'm so ready for S-P-R-I-N-G;) Come Thither. Shine on Meh. 

I'm a flower girl. I adore them. All of them. I love the way they make you feel, the way they smell and how beautiful they are. They make me HAPPY. Not happier than my kids but HAPPY.

Now you know I could not have gone too long before another batch of CupCakes;) It's been a minute so the girls and I made spring cupcakes while making dinner. The smell of baking cakes is so delicious. How can you not make cupcakes. It's a must. Every so often you must indulge.

My little sis, mother of four boys has been making wonderful cakes. She is very talented. She just made a cake for her friends daughters birthday. It turned out fabulous. She also made this cake for her sons birthday. Check it out- Fantastico. 

 I told her she'd better start charging!

Well. I just received a phone call telling me I'd better keep Miss H up until midnight tonight. She has more tests tomorrow. Wow. That's gonna be fun considering after school she's gonna be whooped. Blood work in the early am as well. Gonna be a draining day.

Have a good one. And if you miss me on here, you can always find me on SB.

Life Is Beautiful

Hey Y'all. Hope you enjoyed your weekend. I sure did. I spent endless time with my family. Nothing better in the entire world. A quick thank you for your kind comments on the previous post. So very warm! Appreciated two thousand percent;) I'm lucky to have such caring friends. Back atcha.

Update on Miss Hannah Beans: We went to the Neurologist and boy was the drive there and back horrible. So uncomfortable. The Children's Hospital in FM is wonderful. We couldn't have been treated better. Staff was beyond A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The Doc was extremely professional and very handsome. A plus for Ma....ha. The facility was very clean and updated. I can't say the same for the girls current doctors office which made me immediately switch them to a better one so today I am going to be busy busy with making appointments. We only went to that doctors once and are now transferring records once again. I wasn't pleased with what that doc said to my Mack so that was the first and last time we will be seen there. That's another long post. The Neurologist had given Hannah a  basic visual test and said by the sounds of it and by looking at her, he was not worried about the dilated pupils. BUT. Ordered an EEG test and more blood work. What's up with the blood getting pulled from little bodies. Anywho., She must get all that done to be for certain that she's a-okay. Those appointments are coming and he also wants her to see a speech therapist. She cuts off the S's saying trap instead of strap and so forth. Yellow=Wellow. I thought she would have grown out of it but I think the therapy will help and be good for her. Crazy Busy. So that's where Miss H stands right now. Updates will be later. Thanks again for your kind words. Muahh

This weekend we went out to eat at Pei Wei. Fabulous experience. Very Nice and Classy. I don't often have good things to say about restaurants so you know this must be delish if I'm rating it this high. 

Not only is the whole place spectacular(inside and out), their food was divine. 

 

Yum. And the girls loved eating with chopsticks. Fun. 

 

We left happy campers. With laughs and farts none the less on the way to the shopping plaza. M is in the back seat laughing, " You spent all that money just for it to get dropped down the toilet." WOW. These kids truly have been spiking up the humor and sarcasm this family of ours has. Way too funny. I told the girls to get everything off their bedroom floor the other day and M replies, " Oh you want me to get my feet off the floor." All sarcastically. Her tone just tells you when she knows it too. She certainly has these jeans. Smart Ass.

Life is beautiful. Despite the scares we go through, each day we're given to laugh, hug, kiss and even cry is truly marvelous.

XOXO 

A Mother's Love

I've been totally lagging on writing lately. Been busy taking care of the girls and getting them well again. Sunday they were out playing in the back yard with that duck and when we came inside, I immediately threw them in the shower because of the allergies they have been experiencing. It's tough because one wouldn't think that every time you go outdoors and back inside again you must take a shower to get the allergens off of ya. But that is what we have to do right now and it makes me think twice about taking them anywhere. Kids must go play. They deserve the right to go run around in the back yard with ducks, wood storks, lizards and snails. I remember when I was young we were outdoors playing all the time. Most the time we didn't come back til dusk. It's frustrating to see your children suffering from nature. On Monday we were at the Docs all day. They were extremely sick and I blame it on playing outdoors the previous day. They were prescribed antibiotics, cough/allergy/asthma medicine and it was a little too much. I can't keep track of who's taking what at what time. They have never experienced being this sick ever before. I mean, not even a 24 hr. bug could compare to the endless hacking which leads to throwing up, leading to tired, achy children that are completely uncomfortable and I'm doing everything I possibly can for them but I feel like a Mother's love is not good enough. I can't cure my babies. I can't make the coughing go away. I rush to every cough, to every runny nose, to every holler, to every silence. 

How many of us can say that when we got pregnant we never thought of the health problems or illnesses that our children would go through. I thought about pampering my babies, showering them with endless hugs and kisses, providing them with everything necessary and then some. I thought of all the good but never the bad. Why is that. Because we never anticipate on having something be medically wrong with our babies. 

Hannah(my baby), well they are both my babies but she is only five and she's been terribly ill. If it's not asthma, I don't know what it is. But at the doctors they noticed her dilated pupils. They asked how long they have been like that and I said for a long time. Well she has huge eyes so I never thought anything of it. They said it was not normal and immediately sent her to get more x-rays. So they took one of her chest, facial bones and head. The chest because of the pneumonia last month. It still looked cloudy as ever to me. The facial to see if she has sinusitis. Tuesday both girls had to get blood work. It's early am and they've been fasting. Waited for almost an hour. M goes first and passed out during the process. Poor kids turned white as a ghost, fainted and were so sick afterward. Never again. Seriously. My kids don't need to go through all these tests. It's completely ridiculous. 
I made them toast and babied them all day-(everyday). Like really. WTF. I just hope we get to the bottom of this horrible feeling. 


I received a phone call yesterday from the docs telling me that I had to get Hannah to the Neurologist. They said after they received the x-ray results they would let me know if she needed to go or not. Apparently they seen something that made them rush her to get in there. Usually there is a waiting list but they said it was an emergency to see her at 2 today. God, I'm scared. I am anxious to see whats going on up there in her little brain but fearful of the results., These are my kids. My flesh and blood. I cannot bear to have it be something horrifying,....my worst fear is that she could have autism, a brain tumor, who knows. I know very little about Autism but was reading what could be the cause of her symptoms and that popped up. I know I shouldn't go looking for answers on the web but I do. At this point I cannot jump to conclusions. I need to wait to get results after seeing them today. I'm just glad she's getting in right away. 

A Mother's Love is all a child should ever need. Why were we brought into this world to suffer pain. I can never understand that. God has a purpose for all and I know he's by our side but couldn't life have been created without such agony. 

In the meantime, our prayers have been with Haiti continuously. I cannot understand why such disasters strike but that's another long story. Keep prayers open to those in desperate need. The greatest prayer is praying for others. 


I hope all of you are well and stay that way. ;) 
Good Day!



 

Meet Ronnie

While out playing the other day the girls attracted a new friend. We love the wildlife down here. Nothing can be more exciting than playing with these kinds of animals in your very own back yard. Love it. This one was in desperate search for some food and of course we must feed. M ran in to get a box of cereal and they immediately start throwing the food towards this dude. I always have the camera with me so I start recording while Miss H runs right towards him trying to pet him like he's a dog or something. I, the protective parent am freaking because I don't want this thing to bite or attack. This video is rather funny.

Miss H just starts calling him...Ronnie.... M and I start cracking up. Where did she get this name from. Funny. I never watch Jersey Shore with them but she must have come into my bedroom while I had it on and she picked the name up from there. I clearly didn't think she was paying attention to it because I wasn't. That must be where she heard the name and I just thought, WOW. With Caps. Kids hear something one time & never forget. Super Duper Funny.  

Shit Happens

I'm doing my normal Saturday thing when B comes in to tell me he's taking a bike ride because it has finally warmed up. Very well. Go about your business. I'm cleaning my bathroom and taking a shower when he returns to tell me some nasty shit is out on our front sidewalk. I rush to get dressed because I have to run some errands and shoot the girls in the car without shoes on because I'm in such a hurry. We didn't step in the shit. I made very well sure of it. I didn't have a chance to get a good look at what it was but it looked like a dead bird had been eaten by a dog and the dog puked it up with small noodles or some shit. Ughhhhhh....I wanted to puke myself.

When we return I make the girls go around to the other sidewalk and get inside. I'm still inspecting this shit like what the fuck is it. I immediately run hot water, fill up a big cup and start rinsing it away into the grass. Finally after ten cups or so I look at the shit in the grass and it looks to me like a frog smashed open with his guts all splattered. The little noodle looking things may have been his guts. How fucking gross. Does this shit need to happen to me. I have to clean the fucking mess up and get sick during the process. I'm starving because I haven't eaten a fucking thing all day and I can't eat now. Our floors are all tile. So it's bad enough I am constantly cleaning the dust off them. Now I have to clean guts and poop off them because someone who refuses to admit that he stepped in the shit got it on my fucking floors. Now I'm fucking steaming. Seriously. The doorstep rug had the shit on it and I knew B stepped in it and trampled the shit through my house to come tell me in the bathroom that the shit was there. Fucking scum. He happens to call when I finished cleaning my entire floors. Mind you it wasn't a lot of shit on the floor just a small bit but I freak the fuck out and have to clean every area of the fucking house now in fear that it may be everywhere. On my hands and knees, clorox wipes galore. Wow. I'm screaming at him, telling him this was his fault(over the phone). He promised he didn't do it and checked his sneakers and asks why it ain't on his shoes if he stepped in it.

It's on my mother fucking floor now that's why. 

I put a sign on the door. Make sure there is no poop on your shoes. Wipe your feet. I'm sorry but I'm a very careful person when I enter the house. Here in FL we just walk in with our shoes on and don't usually take them off at the door because of the hard floors. We're constantly running in and out so, no time to keep taking shoes off. Normally we do if we are done running around but come on. Wipe your damn freaking feet. REAL GOOD. 

Shit Happens. And of course mom has to clean it up. 
     

Froze To Death

I think I mentioned a bit ago that our little friends were dying from this cold weather. It was said to be a record low here in SW FL. The lizards were lying along the sides of the roads and yesterday our neighbors found this enormous one. At first glance I thought it was a weasel or something but I was rushing to get the girls so I called B and told him to go see what it was. He ran out and took a pic. This creature was as long as a shovel. I only wish we could have seen him alive with a full tummy. He would have been that much more exciting. The neighbor said he's lived here for 25 years and never seen one near the size of this. I'd been in this area for almost 2 and seen quite a few. Open your eyes. They are everywhere. Poor fellers. Can't take the cold. Luckily for us southerners it's going to get warmer in the days to come. Back up to 60's-70's. Finally.

Zip Your Lip

Yesterday was a hectic day. Couldn't get my baby into the Doctors office, so again we head to the ER. NO FUN. Ewww. I hate nasty emergency rooms. They are fully loaded with yucky, hacking, disease infested people and I can't do anything about it because my baby needs to be seen asap. You wouldn't think that having a doctor would be so damn difficult to get an appointment but when you have one thats way across town and only open 12-5 certain days, it's a hassle to get a sick child in when you need them to be seen. When I say so. Not when your done taking your lunch or because you don't have enough staff. When I say I'm coming in you should drop all fours. I pay enough money out of my pocket. We waited two and a half hours to be seen due to the one doctor working the entire E.R. I don't understand that. Aren't they usually busy. Everyday. Get more staff. Come on. What is wrong with people.

I thought for certain that she had pneumonia again. She was coughing and having trouble breathing. This child is more sick than anyone I know. I worry so much because she is so little and fragile. I fear her lung will actually pop out from coughing so hard. Finally when the doc checked her out, he stated he did not think it was pneumonia. What do you mean you DON'T THINK. He said from listening to her and the bags under her eyes, she has asthma and allergies. She had asthma months ago from the Chinese Drywall. Thank you for trying to KILL us. You have damaged my baby. We don't smoke and I throw them into the shower immediately when they get home from school to get the germs off....apparently she is allergic to something outdoors. Which I can't prevent so she must be on medication. Inhalers don't work well for her but he put her on one anyways. I just hope this fades. It's awful seeing your baby hurt. After the rushing around to get prescriptions filled and dinner, we get home and I realize the Claritin bottle the pharmacist gave to Bry was expired. From Sept. Who the fuck doesn't clean the shelves off. I worked in a pharmacy for years and always checked expiration dates. Yes. Because I'm perfect and don't make mistakes like that. I'm a very organized, on top of everything indivdual. Things must be done a certain way, checked over and over again. OCD. I know. That's me. Of course DAD picked the prescriptions up and wouldn't have known to check but me...I check everything.

So I had to leave my dinner and rush back to get a new one. Honestly, you don't mess with a bitch that hasn't finished her meal because being hungry makes you miserable. I had every intention on ripping this pharmacist a new one. When I got there I checked the shelf for expired Claritin and sure enough every bottle was expired but one. I picked that one up and went over to her and said, "You filled this for my daughter and gave my husband an expired bottle." I continued to tell her that all the bottles over there were expired and she needed to pull them. Why must a customer do your job. I was thinking that. I didn't say it. I zipped my lip. After getting there and simply telling her to exchange it was enough words for me. It doesn't do any good to get all worked up because then I might die of a heart attack. I did make her feel dumb (because a pharmacist should always check expiration dates)  so hopefully she learned. I did make a complaint to the manager of the store because she didn't even apologize to me for her mistake which made me want to turn around and say, "Bitch, you owe me an apology." But really. I'm trying to let the retards go and be the better person. I took care of business and that's that.

Without saying much, I think she got the drift. I handled it very well and from now on, I pick the meds out..not DAD! 

The Secret Of Life

I'm a huge country fan and have been since I was younger. I often find myself singing songs that I haven't listened to in quite some time. They get trapped in my head and I even fall asleep singing them. Faith Hill is one of my girls. Her songs are amazing and The Secret Of Life is just stuck there in my noggin. Probably because I was watching something on television about the secrets of life. I think it was Dr.Oz. Anyway, a way to get it out of my system: write about it. I thought this would be a wonderful way for us to share our secrets to a good life and what makes our days that much happier. So Faith hit it on the nail with this song. It's true to so many of us and really does make life a secret success.


♥A Good Cup of Coffee-You all know how much I luv my coffee.
♥A Beautiful Woman-We're all beautiful in our own ways.
♥Getting up early-It's true. If you wake up early, you have a more meaningful day.
♥Staying up late-Life is too short to waste it away sleeping.
♥Try not to hurry-Being in a rush leads to bad experiences. Always be on time. A must for me. You feel accomplished and worthy.
♥Try not to worry-As moms, how can we not. But I notice if I try to let my worries go and put my faith in the Lord's hand, I sleep better and have a love for waking.
♥Stretch-As soon as you wake, stretch. You'll feel like a million bucks.
♥Laugh-A good laugh will always soothe the day.
♥Give-Giving is always better than receiving. Even when times are tough a simple card says a thousand words.

I can't wait to hear some of your secrets. Please do share:)

Pocket Picker

Good Morning. Hope all had a warm, delightful weekend. We pretty much stayed indoors watching movies, playing games, puzzles and of course the Wii. Dad had me running out to get hard candy to chew on and I was not enthused about that at all. I hate that he likes Gobstoppers & Lemon Heads because I know the girls will want some and I fear them choking to death. Miss H has many times before so I'm very protective. Well Dad knows I don't want them to have any so he hides them on the top shelf of the wine bar. He pours some in his shorts pocket and engages in his computer game that I cannot stand so we wont even mention that. I'm watching a movie on lifetime while Miss H is over on B's side. Mind you, he has headphones on and paying no mind to what she wants. But she's being sneaky about whatever she's doing and I heard him say, "NO." I'm like, no what. Asking her what she wanted and why he said NO to her. Whenever he says no to them it takes them forever to tell me what they wanted. I'm like hounding them to reveal to me what they got in trouble about or whatever. I'm the Mom that has to know everything. If I think he said no for no good reason then I come to the rescue and solve the situation. But in this case- NO stood!

Minutes later after bugging her about what he said "No" about, she whispers softly, "I was picking in his pockets." I start cracking up so hard. First off because of the way she said it. She's very sneaky about it and says it so softly to where I could barely hear her because she knows very well that I do not want her having that candy.

Secondly because of the look on her face. Where do these kids get these ideas. Dad felt her trying to sneak in his pocket to grab a piece of candy that may very well choke my child and I kept thinking the whole time : She gets it from me. I was such a sneaky little girl. I used to sneak everything, hide under my nana and papas bed and sing songs to make my papa freak out. He used to catch me getting into things and called me, "Sneaky."

It's truly funny how much your kids act like you when you were young. Amazing. Hilarious.

So there's my fun, exciting weekend. How was yours. Hope Good. Have a great week:)

I'm Walking On Sunshine

Ooooohhhh oooohhhhh, and it sure feels good. I am beyond thankful to be alive, to have my family and friends, to wake up each morning and see my kids' faces. It's a feeling you just feel wonderful about. This year is going fabulous and I think the way I think and act is a huge part of it. I heard somewhere (can't remember where or I'd most def. give credit) that swearing is healthy, getting your anger out is even more healthier and you shouldn't be ashamed to get your frustrations out. I almost felt sorry for feeling so angry at the strangers that came into my life this past year. I showed my anger through this blog and thought that certain people were going to think of me a certain way.

I've come to realize that my life is not perfect nor is everyone elses. Everyone gets mad, angry, sad and shows their frustrations some way or another. We also show our happiness, gratitude and love but often don't feel it's paid attention to as much as the disappointments in our lives. I made a resolution to not be a potty mouth so much on this blog but realize that if I write my way through a bad experience than get angry in front of my children it's a much better way. It's not a crime to swear, to get angry or write your feelings. It's human and I'm beyond proud to be the human I am. I cannot stop cussing as this blog is a diary of my life and if for some reason I want to blurt out a swear word then so be it. I cannot make a resolution and stick to it knowing that it's just not me. I'd rather get it out on here than in front of my girls and that's the way it's going to be.

I'm walking on sunshine because my life is so blessed. I enjoy every moment of every waking day and thank God we're here. I've already begun my journey as a fabulous mom and know that I have more purpose on this earth than just being a mom. My dreams are huge and the things I want to do in this lifetime are going to be fulfilled. Something I've learned is that you never give up on the things you want out of life. You shoot for the stars no matter who tries to pull you down. You rise above and beyond and that's me.

I ain't going nowhere.

A Love For Jeans

For some reason when your fat you don't like jeans. I've been working so hard to feel comfortable in my jeans because my babe got me a couple new HOT Guess pairs for x-mas and I'm absolutely in love with them. I love, love, love jeans but if I feel bloated, I hate wearing them. Hence, losing weight is going to be a number one goal of mine from now on. I mean I'm not huge. Don't get me wrong. Depending on the jeans I can fit into a size 5-6 but who feels comfortable with a muffin top. Not me. I was never a fan of Skinny Jeans but now I really like. Most days I feel like it's pointless to throw a pair on because who am I going to see. But it's really not about that. It's about throwing them jeans on, feeling sexy in your own skin and showing off them buns. Even if it's just you looking in the mirror. Not that it's as cute as when I was in high school but still. So right now, I love Jeans....will have to go to dinner tonight just to wear my HOT jeans! :)

Friday Fun

Most of us can agree that Friday is usually a good day considering the weekend is here and we can pretty much do whatever the heck we want. At this very moment I would love to just sleep but that's because the cold has exhausted myself and I'm sure many of you. I'm still up for some Friday Fun so I would love for ya'll to join in and post your link telling us what you might be doing to have fun this eve or this weekend. I know with a house full of gals, we have loads of fun no matter what we're doing. So tonight we're having a sleep over. Make-up, nail polish, high heels, junk food, dancing, singing, the Wii and a movie. What else does a girl need than her favorite gal pals laughing and being silly. Feel free to steal the pic. I can't wait to read what your going to be doing.♥

Wipe Your Mouth

Many times I just blurt things out and never intend on the girls picking up on what I'm saying. I mean, I am a funny lady or at least I crack myself up most days and when my kids laugh with me it's even more fun. A lot of times I make my own words up and say things to replace my cuss words in front of them. Other times I say ass in front of them and Miss H repeats it. There is something about a kid that just says it with the greatest of ease. You can't help but bust out laughing. M has never swore. Ever. She's my first born, sweet, innocent little angel. Miss H on the other hand is a riot. She's wild, crazy, silly, spirited and says whatever comes to mind. Hmmm....I wonder where she gets it from. 

Returning home after school they immediately wash up and get a snack. I'm usually working on house work and getting dinner prepared. Not really. I'm either blogging or chatting elsewhere. Which leads to burnt dinners and kids running up to you asking to get them a drink right after eating a Little Debbie Nutty Bar. Whenever my kids come up to me at the desk, I wrap my arm around their waist and give them my undivided attention. So I'm waiting for her to get her sentence out, staring at her big blue eyes, which by the way take your eyes off of everything else on her face except the bit of chocolate that was left over in the corner of her mouth from the nutty bar. 

I simply said, "Go wipe your mouth, you still have a little bullshit around your lips." I instantly start cracking up and so does M who's doing her homework at the counter. Ahhh...ahhhhh..hahahahaha..we could not stop laughing while Miss H is getting pissed because we're laughing so hard but what I meant to say was, "Go wipe your mouth, you still have some chocolate on it."  Seriously. I don't know why that blurted out but it did and she had no idea what it meant but M couldn't stop laughing and the way I said it to her had me cracking up at myself once again. 

I amuse myself quite often. Really. I can be sitting here and all of the sudden I just can't stop laughing when I say something to myself about something/someone. I think without laughter and joy - life is boring. Trust me. My life is so not boring. Even if I am home during the day all by myself. I'm perfectly capable of entertaning myself or chatting with my sister on the phone laughing at whatever we talk about. 

With that being said, I apologize you don't live closer. I could surely make you laugh. Very hard. For long periods of time.
  

A Comment Hacker Is Really Pressing Buttons

Back on Jan. 2, I noticed that someone left a comment on this post that looked like a familiar comment. I thought someone already said that to me. So I scrolled up and sure enough my good pal Amy had said it to me. Or a part of it anyways. So this person just copied a part of her comment and then posted a link to some mortgage bull crap...(trying not to swear even though I'm extremely peeved) underneath and I was like who the hedoublehockeystick is this person. Why they messin' with meh. I let it go and received another one on today's post from the same hacker. They copied a part of my comment with a mortgage link underneath. I deleted it but can't understand why they are doing it.

So I googled/binged how to block certain people from commenting on my posts but did not find an answer. The only thing I can think of is setting things up to where anonymous can't comment but I have friends and family that don't have a blogger account that do comment and don't want to take it away from them. But the thing is, is that this person is not even anonymous, they are using a blogger name. HUH. I'm confused. WTF.  Anyways, has anyone ever dealt with this before.

I'm guessing someone don't like me and they are trying to push my buttons. Which is very well not going to work because if you remember correctly person, whomever you might be, I'm above you....moving on.

Good Moms

Carry their young all the way home in the cold........

I'll Take the Cozy Please

I really hope your all trying to stay warm. The weather that I haven't had a touch of for quite some time now has me drinking more hot cocoa than ever and staying snug in my cozy little house. Yesterday, I debated on whether or not I should turn the heat on. I could not deal with the low sixty seven so I bumped it up to seventy two. The poor iguanas are dying because they can't survive in this type of weather and the big one lying on the side of the road this morning had my heart. If it was a little one I could care less but we have some big ones down here and they're like our animals.

The girls loved going back to school. While getting them ready, I just kept thinking how big they're getting and how much M is maturing. I straightened her hair. She's such a girly girl. When we were chatting last night they each told me about their day. M said the boys just kept staring at her. I asked her if she knew what that meant and we both knew it was because she's pretty. Seriously. Growing up. Truly Proud. What a Beauty.

Miss H said her teacher came back from maternity leave and had a baby boy. This little girl was so anxious to get to school today to give him a teddy bear. What a feeling to have them come home satisfied. Attending a great school really makes a huge diff. in your child's life. Not that the old one was bad just that everything can always be better and I'm so glad they are happy here.

I'm such a cozy kinda gal. I don't mind if things get out of place especially if it's cold and there are throws all over the place. I love blankets. They make me happy. Even when it's ninety eight degrees, I need my blankets. B on the other hand gets all ansy whenever things get cluttered. He whines about the littlest things. He reminds me so much of the Monk that I sometimes wanna call him Monk. It's cold. I need cozy. I snuggle on my bed about 95% of the time because the furniture is leather and gets extremely cold. Even if I have a throw on it. The other day I cleaned the crap out of our bedroom. Spotless. I figured I'd make him happy for once. To me, the way I leave things lying around is clean. And not to mention it's very cozy. So what if a throw is hanging on the edge of the bed or on the couch. This is B's way of enjoying life.

This is mine:

I'll take cozy over bored stiff any day. That bed sure is comfy. No wonder why I don't want to crawl outta bed at six in the morn. I don't think any of us really want to. It's just too stinkin' cold. I feel bad for the ones that live in absolutely freezing areas. Here I am complaining of 40-50 degree weather and some of you live where it's zero below. I apologize. I promise I won't complain anymore. Stay warm, drink hot cocoa and come chat with me on Simply Bliss. 

XOXO

Don't Let The Cold Stop You

Really. It's that cold here in SW FL. We've lived here three years and never had it get this cold. Now I know it's nothing compared to other parts of the country but when you get used to warmth you get jolted when this happens. Mind you, we've never had to wear jackets before so I think we only own a few sweaters or pull overs, no coats. Not to mention I had to run to Target and get them some gloves. Crazy. Well. They have been trapped inside the Wii since Christmas, so I shooed them outdoors for a bit to run around, climb trees and let their energy get wild. It's been a while since Miss H climbed a tree so we couldn't miss a moment. They love the back yard. It's so huge, they get lost just running. I have to be out there with them because Miss H goes yonder to find friends. It drives me nuts because the little lake is right there and even though I tell them to stay back by the house they get curious to see what's in there besides the ducks and birds. 

Notice: They hold onto their webkinz and zhu zhu pets for dear life.

So they had a blast in the cold but I had to seriously rush in. Way too cold for me. I can't imagine moving back up north. I'm spoiled with sunshine. Oh. Don't let me forget. The dogs are still going in my yard. And she's trying to be all hush hush hurry hurry so no one sees. I see. I see lots of things.

  

Goodbye Sweets, Hello Skinny

The girls and I have been having the time of our lives off from school and it will all come to an end tomorrow. This is the last day they have off and I've been having a really hard time getting them to bed early. I tried starting last week to put them to bed at the usual seven thirty but they are way too excited that they continue to hop out of bed using excuse after excuse to be up. I'm still hungry. No your not. Go to bed. Starve. Geez. I'm thirsty. Drink your saliva. It's going on midnight and that's honestly how late we've been staying up if not longer. I don't know how to get back into the groove. God help me.

We had one box of cake mix and frosting that we did not get a chance to bake over Christmas so I decided to pull it out and let the girls make it since we are no longer going to be eating junk. CHOCOLATE will be an exception. I don't think I can ever give up a good chocolate bar. I'm good for a while then I must have a piece or I feel like I'm dying of starvation. This coconut cake wasn't even all that great. I think we ate all the frosting off and threw the rest down the disposal.

I've begun the yoga on the Wii. I was avoiding it up until a couple days ago. It's actually very relaxing. Calming. The girls have been playing this thing everyday and need to eat more before the school thinks I have no food in my fridge. You can tell that M is losing weight. It honestly makes you not eat so much. It's that fun. For us anyways. So today is Monday and I'm giving up the sweets for a while. I need to stick to my goal of 20 pounds. I have already lost so I'm thinking I should be good by next month. I need to lose about 10-15 more to feel right.

This year has already started out beautifully. I've worked on some of my goals and am feeling better about this crazy world we live in. I've tried to watch less of the news lately. I think it always gets me down whenever I hear bad things on it so I'm trying to avoid watching any of it. Hearing about horrific events makes me wanna strangle the person that I can't get my hands on, so what's the sense of wanting to beat someone up for murdering a precious child when I will never get the chance to anyways. Might as well laugh with the Kardashians instead.

I hope all of you are having a great year thus far. Please share what you've been doing.  Have a Fabulous Monday and Stay Safe.

Resolutions If I Ever Did Follow

Every new year people start a resolution and to be honest who really sticks with their resolutions. I never make one because I KNOW I will never follow through. I'm trying to be different and actually make one that I will look back on and be proud to say I'm a better woman because of it. 2009 was a blessing despite being far from family, the endless illnesses, moving around and the Chinese drywall. My life wasn't half as bad as some folks out there and for that I'm ever so grateful. On New Years Eve I could not wait until the ball dropped. I could feel a breath of freshness throughout the air and knew that from these moments my main goal was to become a bigger, brighter, better woman. Not in the sense that I was a horrible person cause I'm sooooo NOT but in the sense that everyone can make a difference and the way I come off sometimes is not how I want to be seen. I don't want people to read my posts (even though I started this blog for my own personal lookbacks) and think that I'm a bitter woman. I'm actually a real fun lady to be around and enjoy being around lots of people. Now if there was a chance we could all live in the same area so we could go out for dinner twice a week and get silly about our life experiences that would be awwwwwesssssome!

My goals♥ 

-To stop swearing so much in my posts.
-To write more about my girls even though I try to protect them as much as possible on  here.   
-To get a home and rescue as many animals as possible.
-To move closer to NY to be near our family.
-To comment to my sisters more.
-To meet many more fabulous people.
-To actually go to an event.
-To smile endlessly.
-To forgive more easily.
-To love my enemies.
-To exercise everyday.
-To spend more time with my one and only Father above.
-To stay calm on the road.

I was going to add more love and laughter with my girls but that already happens overflowingly.

They are my life, my world, my everything. Nothing could ever change the way I shower my love for them.

And once again HAPPY NEW YEAR. Take care and much LUV♥
