Flo

Flo came to visit me this morning around 6. I hate Flo. She is not my friend. She has given me a headache from Hell. I swear to you that I have an extra 5 lbs on me at the moment because of her. I hope she leaves very soon! One of the questions that I'm going to ask when I die is (if I don't just magically remember the answer) why do girls need Flo to visit EVERY SINGLE MONTH!? Couldn't we have a mating season the way other animals do? Divide us into fourths and have some girls "blossom" each season and once we blossom for the season, we don't do it again until the next year. I could really deal with that. There has to be a better way to have kids. But oh well, that is just wishful thinking. I guess I will have to continue dealing with Flo for years to come.

I was glancing at a website for menstrual humor (come on, I needed something to make me laugh!) and I found this...

You know the old exit lines "I'm going to make like a banana . . . and split," "I'm going to make like tom . . . and cruise," "Make like a tree . . . and leaf," etc., etc.? A vulgar addition: "I'm going to make like a tampon . . . and get out of this bloody hole."

smoooooth...

I shaved my legs today! Hallelujah! They feel SO much better!

have you ever?

Have you ever tried to use the bathroom while holding a 9 month old baby? Let me tell you, it isn't easy! I've done it twice this week. For some reason I had Jace with me when I visited the loo but without the stoller. I didn't want to put him on the every germ in the world bathroom floor, so I held him while I did #1. I was fine until I needed to pull my pants up and button them. How are you supposed to tuck in all those undergarments, pull your pants on straight, and then proceed to button them so that they don't fall down, all with one hand? It is IMPOSSIBLE! Finally the light bulb came on and I set Jace on the baby changing table. Thankfully there was one! He sat there without being strapped in & me trying to block him from crawling face first off the thing while I worked as quickly as I could to straighten my lower half. I see why women sometimes wear elastic waist pants. These bathroom trips would have been so much easier with those! Hmm, where can I find some polyester elastic waist pants?

THIS SAVED ME! stole photo from mercantila. can you believe this thing cost $160?!

Today Rich gave me a hug and said that he loved how happy I have been the past two days, meaning today and yesterday. Glad he didn't see me tonight when I freaked out on Garret over a stupid blanket. I'm a work in progress...

Oh, and I didn't go to Ikea. Probably best that way.

smootches!

Neville Longbottom... So last night I dreamed that he kissed me. It was a crazy dream. But I have to admit it was kinda fun. Shhh, don't tell Rich. :)  Anyway, Neville was always one of my favorite Harry Potter characters and why I dreamed about him last night, I have no idea. He was quite the ugly duckling but has seriously turned into a handsome wizard! Love him!

Hot stuff!!!!

just don't remember!

I had a whole post in my mind a little bit ago and now I can't remember any of it, not even the title. Dang it! Oh well. It must not have been that good if I can't even remember it now. Or maybe this is just another sign of the short term memory loss that I seem to experience every single day. I am glad to report that today was better than yesterday. I didn't completely lose it. I did yell a bit but I didn't freak out at all. Let's see... Today I weighed myself (since I don't bother going to weight watchers anymore) and I came in at a whopping 168. Now you watch, tomorrow I will be back up to 169. I hate the stupid scale! I'm hoping that once school is back in session, I can have some kind of routine in my life and lose some actual poundage from this body. We'll see. I also took Kira to get a hair cut. She just won't keep it out of her face and I'm tired of not being able to see her eyes. She looks different but cute. I took the kids grocery shopping with me. Please shoot me if I try to do that again. At least now we have food in the house to eat. Oh, and I threw away all of my coupons. Know why? I hate couponing! Don't get me wrong. I love saving money but I hate the tedious process of couponing. It's a pain in the ___! I got tired of looking at the piles of red plum, p&g, etc & threw the suckers away. It made me feel better. And then I spent almost $200 at Winco. It was great but I probably won't think that tomorrow when I want to buy something at Ikea!!!

patient

Today I woke up with very little patient. It was gone by 8am. I opened the fridge to spilled milk everywhere. I lost it! From then on, everything was bad news. I finally got myself together enough to take my kids to the dentist for their 9am appointment. Why did I schedule it for that early?! Things got better once we were there. The kids were great and cost me even less money than originally planned. They didn't need the laughing gas. What brave kiddos! I do love them. So some of my patient has returned but I can tell that it is at the breaking point. I know that it won't take much for me to have a complete mental episode. No joke. I even said to Rich that I needed to be locked up because I am going to hurt something. It might be the wall but something is going to get it. So right now, I have Garret & Kira cleaning their rooms. I doubt that they are really doing it, especially Kira. I walked by and saw her putting stickers on her desk drawers. I couldn't go in or I would have made her cry and that is just something that I can't deal with at the moment. I really do love my kids but I have no patient for the whining or fighting. Today I have no patient for anything. My house is a disaster. I don't feel good. Money is completely stressing me out. I hate the stuff. Sometimes certain people bug the heck out of me and a certain someone has been on my last nerve the past couple of days. I'm hoping to remedy that problem soon. And I hate the way I look. It's not a good day. And don't try to tell me about all of the blessings that I do have and that I need to look on the positive side of things because I seriously will slap you! :P

Dancing Queen

Well, actually a dancing princess. Kira told me her name was Rapunzel today. Big brother Garret was at a friend's house, so Kira had most of my attention. Jace still requires most of it. But anyway, we turned on the music and danced to entertain a crowd. It was a great dance party. Kira is so sweet. She has the best dance moves ever. They are so girly. It will be fun having her in ballet. Just watching her dancing around the front room, I couldn't help but smile. That smile reached my heart. I love this little girl so much!

sleep!!!

Is so good when you can actually do it peacefully! I miss sleep. I miss not waking up at all in the night. I was so irritable today from a lack of sleep last night. Jace is sick and he was up at least once every hour from 11pm to 6am. It was horrible.

hmmm...

know what I did today? I ate about half an 8x8 pan of brownies. It was delicious! Now I'm eating popcorn & it is not airpopped! How's that for being a member of Weight Watchers?!!! pathetic but oh so yummy.

hi

So, this is a blog about me. My thoughts, feelings, struggles, joys, anything. I guess I should say it's a personal journal that I'm sharing with the world. Read it, if you feel like it. Maybe I can inspire you or help you in some way or maybe you will just think that I'm a total idiot. Either way, I'm good with it.
