Okay party peeps.. Today is the 1st official day I feel like I am going to get some serious creating done !!! All my stuff has finally arrived & I have noticed that I want OOOHHH sooo much more but I will be content with the goodies I have...

I lugged down my BIG OL table from the garage, took 4 or 6 trips from the kitchen (where all my tools have found a comfy spot) to the basement plus an extra ........." OH I FORGOT THE IPOD" trip & have snuggled right in .. Pulled up the shades to let the sunlight shine in.. In the picture you might be able to see a beautiful necklace I got for my birthday, well I am going to try, NO, I AM going to create a set of earrings to match it as my 1st project for the day & then go from there... I just had to post pictures & share before I got to busy & forgot about all my FAITHFUL followers !! NOT ... :)

So close your eyes & imagine me in this spot (black chair) & watching the wheels of this so called BRAIN go to work !!!

Instead of reading w/ enthusiasm ... Listen to this voice that has captivated me today !!!

So I am driving home this morning from taking little peeps to school & this song "Rolling in the Deep" from Adel comes across the radio.. Now I have heard this song about a dozen times before, but to be able to CRANK it up this morning & sing along with it & take in her deep & sultry sound was amazing... So of course.............. I came home & youtubed her & low & behold she has some really great stuff out there & stuff I know... So I decided to share 3 of her songs that all of us probably know ... So now it's time to put it on the ipod !!! Enjoy ....

:)

Day 5

Well today is the day............. As a good friend of mine says... Your not that old but remember you now you have to check mark the box that gives the next age group from 35 to 40 .... WHATEVER.. But thanks Megan for making me smile !!!

So as I reflect.......... NAAA... No reflection only smiles & joy.... I love my birthday !! I make everyone Else's birthday around me special for them. Weather it be a very special birthday cake, special one of a kind birthday present or just special lovin's from muuuhhhaa & I feel as if your birthday (even though you might share it w/ a million other's in this world) it is all about YOU & in this case ME !!! So today I WILL sit on the couch, catch up on my shows, have an extra cup of coffee, lunch w/ a friend, paint my toes & fingers then enjoy a bunch of people's company whom love me very much & are taking the time out of there life to share it with ME tonight at one of my favorite jute-joints, El' Bait Shop ... So bring on the next 35 years (slowly please & please don't let my face reflect it)....

Peace & Chicken Grease !!!

T-Dog, Moose, T.T. & good ol Teryl !!!

Day 4 of 5

Nothing insightful today.... I have been avoiding doing any house work this week.. I was pretty sure I had a dream about a fairy coming and folding all of my laundry last night but when I woke up & saw all the laundry STILL not folded, that's when I found out that my dreams of fairies was just that, a DREAM !!! Darnit !!!!

So instead of mulling over what to post today on this boring & unread blog, I will sign off today & put on the i-pod & actually get some work done around this jute-joint !!! So happy Thursday !!!

And the only reason I blogged this was because I said at the beginning of the week that i was going to post everyday for the next 5 ... So, truly sorry if you read this & thought "WHAT A JIP" ... :)

"Whenever I Call You Friend " Stevie Nicks & Kenny Loggins

my 1st 4 pieces !!!!

check it out !!!!

Day 2 of 5

This post shall be named................. "Wonder of it All" ...

So if you live in IA, you along with myself woke up on this March morning with

snow clinging to the branches of the tree line & gently laying upon the tops of the yesterdays greening grass... Now alot of us posted on our FACEBOOK status "SERIOUSLY MORE SNOW" or "WTH (what the hell)" etc... But I looked outside & saw a purity... My treeline/woods were no longer dirty & dingy but washed clean with this brilliant site.. Okay so it might be chilly but it's not like any of us have put away our coats & have broken in those new flip-flops !!!

So today is a day to appreciate the change of seasons & to realize that this will pass & we will be seeing not only green grass & leafs blooming VERY soon but to appreciate the change of seasons & stand back at the WONDER OF IT ALL !!!!

Sincerly,

Amazed at the Wonder of it ALL

1 a day for the next 5 ... Appreciating my TUMMY

Monday: Well this is the start of my birthday week and as each day closes in on my "34" years & I leap into the "35th" on Friday I want to have a sense of appreciation... So here goes...

As I am getting out of the shower this morning I am doing my normal.. Take my hair out of the towel to brush it, q-tips, stare at my wrinkles a little, moisturize my face & last lotion up this body.. Well as I am doing that my towel falls away from my knot just above my chest bone... As I have the lotion in my hand already I am unable to pick up the towel & re-wrap it around.. I MUST apply w/o a towel wrapped around my body to hide my eyes from this "VISION" in the mirror... As I am applying I look at myself... Now we all might look at ourselves weather it be clothed, naked or just standing in our undies but this morning I run my lotioned hands across my tummy.. I gently do it at first then pull a little to see if the white stretch marks disappear (they don't even as hard as I might stretch). Then I turn sideways normal then of course SUCK IN.. Then I inspect the little white arch stretch marks along my hips .. Then I proceed to ponder a tummy tuck & that passes quickly because ... Well just because.... Now of course my 1st thought is "Man I need to get out JOG" but then I smile.....

Now I am NOT skinny, but don't believe I am a HEFFER either... Not necessarily quite completely comfortable in my skin but definitely doable !!! But I see those stretch marks and look at them as BADGES of HONOR... Each one was created because this body has seen 6 pregnancies & 3 full term births ... Yes you read correctly I have been pregnant 6 times (and for the first time in about 13 years I am shedding tears over the 3 unborn children I have lost, where did these tears come from??). We lost 3 babies before we had Walker.. Different story for a different time... But as I smile in the mirror I am smiling because God gave me the ability to carry 3 children & though I will NEVER carry another child in my womb again I am grateful for the blessing/opportunity to have done so. Some women might have these "badges" surgically removed but for the rest of my life I will choose to wear these "badges" with honor.. Now don't get me wrong I am not some EAST SIDE, WIFE BEATER WEARIN, HOT MAMA whose gonna go get a string bikini cuz I want you to check these badges out but I AM NOT ASHAMED of these faded marks that have been placed upon my body !!!!!

So enjoy the pictures below & you will see why I am grateful for my BADGES OF HONOR...

1st picture is me pregnant with Mayson

2nd picture is me pregnant with Walker

3rd picture is me pregnant with Maddox..

don't know why they are out of order but ya know !!!

Enjoy & Appreciate the blessings that have been given to you !!!!

YAY WEEK OF APPRECIATION & THANKS !!!!!

Walker's head is covering the pizza but it was shaped like a heart.. We wanted a dinner that everyone would enjoy.. We had a candle lit dinner w/ pizza, salad & strawberries .. Oh & let's not forget sparkeling grapejuice out of champne flutes for the kiddos !!! Was super fun !!!!

My 1st Precious Metal Clay Piece..Thanks Renee

Just a quick one !!!

Okay so I was sitting here trying to get off of FB & decided to yep... BLOG... 2 days in a row.. WOWWEE !!..

I was continuing to say in my head a few of the random phrases that gals/guys at work say & they were making me smile so I decided to share them with those who read my blog...
1. I LOVE YOUR FACE
2. SHUT YOUR DIRTY MAN PLEASER (YOUR MOUTH)
3. SHUT THE FRONT DOOR (shut the f up) ..
4. I KNOW, RIGHT?

As silly as they are they make me smile & I like to say them..

On a more serious note..... OH wait I don't have to many of those "notes" so whatever & enjoy the day .... To all of you out there in FB land, Blog land & working land , I LOVE YOUR FACE !!!

Beautiful Monday ... Oh How I love THEE !!!!

BEEEP...BEEEP...BEEEP... (Alarm Clock) I REACH over to hit the snooze, once again & realize, YAY it's Monday & I haven't heard the annoying sound of my alarm clock in 11 days.. But this brings me JOY... It's the 1st day back from Spring Break... As I did enjoy not waking up to the alarm clock for the past 11 days & I truely did enjoy the kids being home a small (BIG) part of me is glad to have my days back to myself... Our spring break wasn't eventful but peaceful & quiet.. We did do some family fun days but mostly relaxed & hung out...

So I've decided that this will start the count down to SUMMER BREAK... Wait till you see the 1st day of school being in session.. It will be a joyous one & I will be blogging about how I am sitting here infront of the computer & telling you all about my plans for my days.. But for now I will enjoy what time I have left of this school year & yearn for the time on the deck with my book in hand, ipod playing softly in the background & enjoy my silence !!!! Even though upstairs right now my hubby is running late for work & I hear him shuffeling around to get out the door.. I on the other hand have accomplished so much.. Got up, took the kids to school & have already had the ipod playing in my ears while taking a much needed walk for both the dog & myself... I still have such a long day ahead of me...

SOOO.... Not only do I get to have lunch w/ some girlfriends this week, get my wax on but...but.. the best part of the week is ......druuuuuuummmmm roll........... I take my PMC (precious metal clay) class 2mrow !!! I couldn't be more excited to get my hands dirty & start my creative juices flowing.. I have ordered & ordered & ordered books, products & materials & I am just chopping at the bit to get this show on the road.... I have officially asked my spousal unit for KILN for my birthday.. He asked the price & I encouraged him to call him mom & mine so they can all go in on it.. We'll see how that works out... I have my little note book with all of my project idea's written down & am ready to start creating...

As you all know I LOVE being a waitress & do believe that I am a "career waitress" and am absolutely thrilled that this is the path that has been laid before me. I love my job & I am GREAT at it... But to find a passion, not a job but something that I love & that is just for ME is truely a GIFT.. So many people search for that 1 something for so long.. My passion, in which I believe I owe my mother credit to, is, creativity & working with the imagination & the drive to do so.. So, thank you mom !!! I know it's not painting on sweatshirts, pillows & getting the fine art of stenciling down (like when we were kids) but none the less it is MINE !!! So, thanks MOM !!! I will post pictures of my pieces once some are complete !!

Thanks for reading my very THANKFUL post today folks !!! Have a good Monday !!! Hugs to all !!!

SUP !!!!

Okay.. Let's see if this post will actually come onto my FB page so I can share my insanity...

So today, March 17th, St. Patricks Day whoohoo, naaaa... I didn't celebrate today w/ all the other "wanna-be irish men & woman" .. I get to go to work tonight.. But I am looking quite festive though.. You'll have to come out & see me if you want a good laugh !!! This day doesn't mean much to me, well it never has but I did get the opportunity last year to go out & celebrate w/ a bunch of my gal-pals but I figured I could get smashed anywhere or on any given day so why just choose a random day to do so !!! Oh well.. Enjoy to all of you who do so !!!

So this last week & a half or so has brought alot of things about.. Good conversation, bad conversation, fun adult "toy" party, too much absolute vodka, spring break & 1 trip to the ARL to return a stray dog ... I would say all in all it has been pretty eventful ..

Kids had GREAT confrences.. All my kids are thriving & excelling in there studies.. HUGE WRAP AROUND PAT ON THE BACK.. Spring break hasn't been very eventful with them though.. We did go Rollerskating, did a little paint job on the club house, pizza day then a stray dog was found.. Woweekazawee !!!! We named him Sammy & loved him up for about 24hrs & T-dog & I decided that we just aren't ready, or maybe never will be, for another dog.. BIG or SMALL !!!! So we had a non-shedding tear moment when we took him to the ARL for adoption.. There is no way that little guy will not be adopted (just not by this family)

Conversations with old friend... Well that is left to be decided eaither as a good or bad note.. Not sure how to take it !!!! Ya know the choices that we make in our lives decide alot for ourselves. OBVIOUSLY.. But ya never know which path is the right one & if we knew that in the decision process there would be no need for anxious hearts, worry or bad choices because it would all be written out like a novel for ourselves.. So with that said ................WHO KNOWS !!!!

Well enjoy the rest of the day !! I'm off to work & play !!!!

love..love..

BLAH..BLAH..BLAH...BLAH...

So it's been a weekish or so since my last blog... So today I will just "rambel or is it ramble" anyways....

#1 if you read my FB stat from yesterday you have now figured out that DUN..DUN..DUN..DUN (suspensful music) Mayson is having her "period" talk at school today.. Of course she reminded me of this once again this morning.. But she had no fever & no flu like symptoms so the young Mooter will be hearing about how her body will be changing & she will bleed for 7 days & NOT DIE !!! Too funny.. I told her I was looking forward to hearing how it went... She rolled her eyes & went to do her hair & teeth regiment for the morning...

#2.. I was running around after I dropped the Junior highers off (cigs & gas stuff) and was on the phone w/ my gal pal Mindy & saw that Walker was calling me.. So I say to Mindy, "Hey Walker is calling me I'll call you back".. Now, some time later when I called her back she says..." When you hung up w/ me I realized you just let me go to take a phone call from your son"... Now I didn't think much of this once it came out of her mouth.. But to her it was one of those moments. Like... When in the world did Walker get old enough to have a cell phone? When in the world did he become this young man who is able to thrive (shortly) on his own.. These moments also come to me when I am able to run to grocery store & leave all 3 of them at home instead of packing them up in there car seats, making sure seatbelts are on, telling them to look for traffic while crossing the parking lot etc....... ALL FOR A DARN GALLON OF MILK... It is a beautiful thing...

Last night while at work I was talking w/ a former Phillips (kids school) parent about Junior high & elelmentry etc, & she showed signs of saddness that her kids are all getting older etc.. Then I informed her that as I am not ready for the raging teenage years yet but I am looking forward & do everyday appreciate the fact that I no longer have young toddlers at home... I am glad I had the oppotunity to have my babies, OOOHHHH NURSE MY BABIES (loved every second of it), raise them, watch them take there first steps etc but am unbelievably greatful at the fact that they are no longer whinney 3yr olds.. YUCK... When I hear a child whine or the parent is chasing down that stinky little one I just sit back and smile.... I can relate so much better & have such a more meaningful conversation w/ all of them at this age instead of trying to figure out... "now which cry is that & why in the world will they not stop asking WHY" ... :) So to all you woman out there who just love babies & would keep having them until God closes the womb, MORE POWER TO YA... But this old brod is THANKFUL for the Ball-o-cologist's (Urologist's) ... SNIP..SNIP BABY...

Another funny this week involving the SMALL people in my home... For those of you who know me I HATE LONG hair on MY boys.. But against my better judgment I allowed the boys to grow out there hair for the past few months.. YUCKKO !!! Anywho... Walker has said "mom you can bribe me with a subway when your ready" ... I reluctantly have said, "no it's okay" ... Well it is now the middleish of March & Walker says Monday morning, "It's driving me crazy" & i said "what is buddy" ? His exact words were "THIS LONG HAIR"... I needed no more hesitance... So that afternoon I texted Tommy & said Walker says he wants his hair back to his 3 & 1 (length on the clippers) and so it shall be done.. He (tommy) calls and says, don't worry babe I'll take them to get there haircut 2mrow, I say WHY, he says just because...no worries I got it... I say, your just gonna try to talk them (Walker) out of a butch cut.. too bad pal, Walker wants his done & Mack needs a trim ... Long story short Walker got a butch & Mack is got a trim & is still on the warpath to grow his hair out like Anakin Skywalker (not on my watch you won't..).. I hate to be that mom who says what they can & can't do with there hair but they just look like hot messes & scurvy little monsters when they are all shaggy... Yuck ... I figure when they can comb there hair so they don't have bed head everymorning & actually care then they can wear it how they want (we'll see about that one too) ... :)

Anyways the point of the haircut story is as follows.. I actually did have to buy candy that day for the kids & to sweeten the deal I had to buy gummy bears the next for science project they all wanted to conduct with leaving the bears in water to see how big they will get... MACK ate 1 or 2 of the water logged gummy (slimy little boogers) bears this morning & he wasn't impressed.. But if he wasn't impressed after tasting the 1st one what makes you think the 2nd is going to taste anybetter.. Who knows ??? Crazy clowns...

Well that's all folks.. If you read, thank you & I do enjoy blogging & think i will continue !!! Now on with my day !!!!

Okay so I haven't blogged in awhile !!!!

So it's been about a weekish or so since my last blog, THE DAMN BABY HAMSTERS !!! So I find myself avoiding house work to sit in front of the computer & write a blog in which about all of 3 people read instead.. WHATEVER !!! Don't care !!!

I have found myself in these past few weeks of NON-DAY employment quite refresing. I have made it a point to enjoy a quite cup of coffee everyday after I drop everyone off at school, cleaning the house up (because WTH no matter how much i do it the day before it always needs it again the next day), doing lunch with someone special (whoever that might look like that day), coffee with someone special (whoever that too looks like that day) & running erronds for the ones I love..

So as I sit here on this BEAUTIFUL March 1st day, with the sunlight streaming in the windows, stalking the neighbors house & watching the new "neighbors" move in I am in aww.... Why you ask? I will tell you? Because as I have gotten older I appreciate the change of seasons.. Yes we all complain about IOWA weather.. But hell the reason I live in Iowa (well I was born & raised here) is for the change of seasons.. Warm, Hot, Chilly, COLD !!! I can't say I enjoy the snow melting & seeing all of the dog crap in the yard but enjoy the fact that soon enough there will be green grass growing (minus the dog piss spots) & the smell of lawn fertelizer (no, not dog pooh) on the yard & watching the tulips come up, watching my winterized daylillies & hostas go from just brown little dead leafs to full blown green foliage !!! It seems to happen over night.. It seems like the leafs pop out over night also... Another beautiful thing about spring is watching our tree line in the back yard go from YUCK brown & seeing all the fallen trees to "DAMN, IT'S A JUNGLE IN THERE, WATCH OUT FOR THE POISON IVY"....

I am just stating that I am very appreciative to the abiltiy to watch things change around me.. Change that is inevitable.. For those of you who know me I don't do change very well (on any level) so when the season's change it is one of the "changes" I handle very well & accept with open arms.. And if I can fit the word CHANGE into another sentance I might shoot myself.. So what word should I say instead of change.... ummmm......... I don't know I'm not that patient to try to figure it out.. so whatever.. count the word change as many times as you would like... :)

So I think I am going to end this nonsense post for the day & go about my day... Enjoying another fun filled day in this crazy life I call MINE !!! Right..Wrong or indiffernt (as a good friend of mine always says) it's my life & love it or hate it at least it is all MINE !!!!

love..love...

Worth the read: BABY HAMSTERS

Let me be the 1st to say DAMN HAMSTERS !!!! Okay this story is a oldie but a goodie & totally worth the read... BTW: I had someone ask me today "why havn't you blogged recently" so here it goes !!!!

It was April (easter) of 2009... We had gotten rid of our dog Louie & the kids were dying for a pet.. I the NON-petowner that I am decided that hamsters would be a great Easter gift.. We got the kids (to share) 2 hamsters that they named Marissa & Ginger.. They were these tiny little dwarf hamsters & the kids loved them... They did great with them for oh I'd say about 3 months then the newness wore off & it was up to me to handle the damn things..

So now remember we got Ginger & Marissa in APRIL.. Sha (my cuz from WA) came to visit in August with the boys, Gabe & Noah.. Sha & the boys were departing from there 2 week stay here in IA & Walker had just left on a fishing trip to Canada w/ my dad... So i was doing my weekly cleaning (more like monthly if we are being truthful here) of the damn hamster cage & I couldn't find 1 of the hamsters. I lifted up the little house & low & behold there was Marissa w/ 7 newborn damn baby hamsters.. I screamed at the top of my lungs & the kids (mack & mays) came running... They instantly freaked out & were ecstatic... I immediately called Pet-Co & asked to speak w/ a "Hamster Expert" the woman kind of chuckled at me (because yes, I said hamster expert, i'm a idiot) and said hold please... They advised me to remove the male from the cage & so out the door we went... By the time I had gotten home only about 45 minutes from the time I discovered the baby hamsters & my bringing home a new cage for the "male" hamster had elapsed !!! REMEMBER ONLY 45 MINUTES... So we removed the male hamster, which by the way was later named WOODY (totally appropriate) & we went on with our weeks..

Not knowing what to do w/ these hamsters I just let time go on... Well about 3 weeks after the damn babies were born we discovered that Ginger had eaten about 4 of the them... Kids didn't freak out cuz i had told them that sometimes if the mother feels that they are sick she will do that etc..... Well it happened... So the next day I am peering into the cage & low and behold WE HAD 7 MORE DAMN BABY HAMSTERS.... I didn't scream this time but started swearing at WOODY & that he was a NAUGHTY boy hamster & horney !!!!

So Woody had to have mounted Ginger with in minutes of giving birth to the now "teenage" hamsters to get her knocked up AGAIN... So at this time I now had about 13 damn hamsters in this house at 1 time...

I went to work that night & I was retelling my story & my dear friend Mo says, ya know what to do right??? I said no.. She said kill-em... of course being the non-pet owner/like that I am I still couldn't... My dear friend Mo says well I'll come on over & take care of it for you this evening... I said THANK-YOU THANK-YOU THANK-YOU... So she came over, I got her a walmart bag & she took every sigle baby hamster we had... Teenagers & newborns alike... I didn't ask her for a few weeks what she actually did with them & I won't say what she did with them on here eaither but let's just say she was very "matter of fact" with what she did... :) I love you MO !!!

Next morning: Kids: MOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM....
Me: WHAAAAAAAATT ???? (this is in the am so I am a little crabby)
Kids: WHERE ARE THE BABIES...
ME: Well remember kids, if the babies are sick the mom eats them...
Kids: OHHH poor things, they must have been really sick for the mom to eat every single one of them plus the teenagers....
ME: WHEEEW .....

March 2010.... Beautiful spring day ... Our pet crayfish, Camo, had passed on & I figured it was a nice day for the hamsters (Ginger & Woody) to be set free cuz by this time there was NOOOO interest whatsoever in these little puffballs except by me cleaning there NASTY cages... So I took each cage out & decided that they would make perfect OWL food & set them free in the woods behind our house...

So folks, that is my DAMN HAMSTER story.. Now some of you might judge me for this story but I don't really care or I wouldn't have shared it & no offense but I do find humor in it.. They are rodents & that is that....

BUT, I am looking forward to telling the kids this story when they are older.. BTW.. They didn't even realize for 2 weeks that the hamsters were gone & then I lied & said they died...

THE END ... :)

Tasty Tuesday !!!

What up BLOG followers !!!! I was actually asked, "when are you gonna BLOG again" so here I sit...

Tasty Tuesday is for no particular reason besides the fact that it ryhymes !!! Maybe i should have titled it Teryl Tuesday but then again I have to work tonight so it's not like I'm gonna get my beverage time ON !!! Darnit... Oh well...

So since my last BLOG, the spousal unit has gone back to work (he was on vacation) FINALLY.. He knows if he reads this he will understand & not be offended !! It's just that if he is home I feel as if I can't get everything accomplished that is necessary.. I get roped into playing guitar hero instead of folding laundry. Or sitting on the couch & watching a movie or something & not cleaning a toilet... So yesterday was my 1st official day at home w/ no distractions & wow the things that I accomplished I should have totally gotten a gold star.. So I hung up the gold star that my lovies @ the bank gave me for myself in rememberance of how AWESOME it feels to get stuff accomplished... and just because I am AWESOME... :)

So maybe some of you read in my FB post that I had a proud Mama moment... Ok so here is a little more detail.. Ya see, I was hoping that Mack got accepted into this reading program called Reading Recovery.. Which is intense 1 on 1 for 30 min a day at school for like 12 weeks (Walker did this & it made a HUGE difference). Well his teacher came out to me last week & said "I have good/bad news, Mack wasn't accepted into R.R. because he is doing such great work on reading". Mack has gone from a pre-a in reading from begining of the year to a E level.. Which is absolutely spectacular... He has been a challenging little man pretty much since birth.. Not behavior but always seemed to be about 6 months behind his peers. But he has made such HUGE strides recently & everything seems to be clickin for the little man.. So when he read the word "dangerous" last night w/ NO help I was so proud... He is reading constantly & I feel this huge weight lifted !! Knowing that not only is my job being done but the teachers he surrounds himself w/ only lift him up ... Praise God !!!!

Mayson Taylor wore a skirt for the 1st time yesterday to school in 2 years... FO REAL !! She was very adament about wearing this & she actually got mad at me because I didn't buy the one she wanted on Thrusday night (a black/red plaid) after I got off of work for her V-day party ... Whatever.. So we went to Target on Sunday & got the 1 she wanted... But here is how the convo went in the dressing room.... "Mayson, I am totally cool w/ you wearing a skirt, but 2mrow will you wear a pretty shirt instead of a hammy down Tony Hawk skater shirt with it, please"... She said yes mom but maybe next week I can wear my skateboard shirts with it & leggings & boots.. I said that is just fine child.. She is so individual & I absolutely love that about her !!!

Walker Thomas... Oh brother.... He video taped (on his cell) how to make a homemade lava lamp yesterday... I thought of course this is totally killer right.. The more I got to thinking about it i was like... Hey your not suppose to have your cell phone in class dude.. And if you get caught with it your BUSTED... He sheepishly smiled & I said well I am glad that your so interested in science but dude you can't have your cell going in class... He didn't respond...

Oh the joy of kids... I know this post wasn't going to have any of your laughing but... WHATEVER ... Then quit reading & go back to work... :)

GOLD STAR..GOLD STAR..GOLD STAR

Day 3... When do you think I will stop numbering my posts??? Just sayin... Anyways.. Today's adventures didn't begin for me until about 8:30 this morning.. Tommy woke up with the kids this morning & did the morning routine & took all the kidlets to school & such so I could sleep in .. He get's a GOLD STAR for the day.... After my 3rd cup o joe I decided to get make a grocery list & head to the wonderful place we call WALLYWORLD... I swear the florecent lighting in that place can make a person go insane !!!! There is my #1 GOLD STAR for the day.. Then had a most spectacular conversation with a old friend #2 GOLD STAR for the day... Then not only did i make that earlier mentioned grocery list but the contents on that list consisted of me making 2 wonderful treats for the kiddo's... I came home & made dirt cake (w/ oreo's & gummy worms) then procedeed to make my own trail mix ........OH YEAH !!!! GOLD STAR #3.... Then I know that I will get a 4th GOLD STAR when I prepare the evening meal... HECK YA !! And yep you guessed it I enjoy a good pat on the back weather it is my own hand streaching around or someone elses !!

Okay so here I am on Day 3 of non-employment during the day & I am becoming Betty Crocker in the kitchen... Wonder when this will get old??? Who knows but the adventure is a exciting one & am thankful to have the opportunity no matter how long it lasts !!!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE !!!!

Day 2 of this crazy thing we call a BLOG !!!

Hola peeps who happen to read this blog today !!! I started my day just right, actually got up & SHOWERED, yep I sure did... My morning was full of smiles & giggles & a great cup o joe w/ a good buddy !!!

She shared a text message, because who has time for phone calls anymore & it says ponder this, "insanity is doing the same thing in the same way & expecting a different outcome" ... Now isn't that the truth !!!! That's all I got to say about that (in the famous words of Forrest Gump) ...

So I was pondering the idea of maybe working at the local coffee/sandwich shop i have made a frequent place of "joy"... Not that I know if they are hiring, but I think it would be awesome & then I could still interact w/ people & get my "juice" on ... For those of you who know or don't know me very well a few of my favorite things are... coffee & sandwiches (don't forget the chips) .. But who knows.. But to put it directly, NO, I am not quite bored yet.. Well not completely but I know that moment is just around the corner & I want to have options if necessary !!! Suppose I could sit still long enough to read a book or not be on here typing & folding laundry or maybe talk w/ good friends about MONKEY'S & HAMSTERS.. Remind me if I don't post soon my story about the HAMSTERS !!!!

Post #1

Feb, 7th 2011... Okay so today is day 1 of my new status, stay at home mom, but with the benefit of no babies, no diapers, no nursing & key.........NO KIDS !!! Unless you count the spousal unit who happens to be home on vacation for the ENTIRE week... And the only reason I am a "SAHM" (for those of you who aren't paying attention it means STAY AT HOME MOM) is because I decided that the "MAN" can't push me into a corner & in this case it was a woman... Pretty much the bank wanted me to work every Saturday & I wasn't gonna do it so THERE !!! I put my foot down & here I am creating a BLOG because I think I am COOL !!! Well duh we know I am cool ... Okay so right now I am in the middle of my very first post & my #2 blessing is talking to me about dessert & family game night which i look forward to doing but I just want to get this 1st post in.... :) So ... On with my rambelings.... Seriously, does this BLOG thing have spell check???? Just sayin ... Maybe I won't even worry about the spell check to drive the spellcheck freakazoids ( and you know who you are, dad) a little crazy !!! HEEHEE !! I figure I talk alot & it isn't always about anything important but sometimes funny, weird, cooky, interesting & sometimes just downright FORWARD... So maybe I will save myself from embarassment in saying to people directly & just indirectly embarass myself for all of you to see... FYI if you don't like to hear things that might be labeled TMI (to much information) please do not read any further.. Because I have a tendancy to be very forward in my thinking & sometimes don't sensor (is that how to spell that) myself & can get into a lot of trouble but WHATEVER .. Love me, like me or be ANNOYED... Don't care !!! Happy reading & we will post maybe again 2mrow (cuz i can't spell 2mrow, TRUE STORY) ...
