Send me your blog address!

Send me you blog address and I will put you on my blog roll. My email is somewhere on this blog.....just dont know where.

Goals-Update

1) Create budget~~Nope, didn't get this done.

2) Create menu~~I did do this. Hub still has to look it over and let me know if he needs something added or taken off.

3) Vacuum~~I did this too!

4) Finish diaper cake~~I didn't even LOOK at this thing. I was having too much fun playing with the boys.

5) Get ALL laundry washed and put away~~I didn't do a single load. Ha!

6) Work on book~~I didn't get to this either.

7) Yard Work~~Hub worked all weekend and the wind blew like crazy. I didn't want to go outside and smoke because of the wind. (But I did, but I didn't like it) There was no way that I was going to try to rake grass or plant something.

8) Find sunscreen~~I didn't need to. I didn't spend much time outside. See above.

9) Play some Rockband or Guitar Hero with Monk Man~~Yep, we played Guitar Hero a little. Monk Man played more than I did though.

I am a paranoid dork.

All right, I watched the walk through video of Sharon Tate's house. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! It was on youtube. It wasn't creepy, scary or anything else I associate with the Manson freaks.

So I get into bed last night and I got the most overwhelming feeling of paranoia. My heart was pounding, my hands were sweating and I was freaking out. I kept imagining someone coming into the bedroom and stabbing me to death. Leaving poor Monk Man and Bobblehead alone until Hub gets home from work the next day.

Yeah, I was freaked the fuck out. So I got up and locked the door. And I laid there, all worried, all night.

Even though we have nosey neighbors and 2 loud ass dogs, I was genuinely scared. I was convinced that some psycho was going to attack me.

I NEVER freak out about stuff like that. Never. I only freak out about the stuff that is already happening and is out of my control. Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal are my favorite movies. I love psychological thrillers. I love true stories of serial killers. I read Stephen King books. I like to be scared!

What the hell is going on with me? Am I getting old?

Or is it the fact that Monk Man and Bobblehead would have been left to fend for themselves for a day and a half? Even though the neighbors are nosey, some of them are DUMB. They wouldn't have noticed anything wrong for a while.

Ughhhhghghghgh!!!! I HATE being paranoid. It doesn't happen often but when it does, I OBSESS over it.

Goals for this weekend

1) Create budget
~~This baffles the hell out of me. I have been putting it off because I get depressed when I try to deal with our sucky debt. I have got to figure this budget thing out. We are spending way too much money. Scroll to the bottom of the blog and look at my ticker. I gave us a year to get out of debt. $50,000 in a year? I hope so. If this is the ONLY thing I accomplish this year, I will still be thrilled. I cant wait until we don't have to live paycheck to paycheck anymore and have some money in the bank. I have some friends on babycenter that are giving me a TON of support and ideas.
2) Create menu
~~Maybe we can stop going to the grocery store every damn day? We have so many weird things in our pantry due to the almost daily grocery runs. Questions? See the above paragraph.
3) Vacuum
~~Ugh. I hate to vacuum. It hurts my back but I am sick of walking on popcorn seeds. Thanks Monk Man. Thanks.
4) Finish diaper cake
~~I have GOT to get this done. I am afraid that Hub or Monk Man will destroy it before KK's baby shower.
5) Get ALL laundry washed and put away
~~Someone on babycenter gave me brilliant advice about laundry. As soon as the clothes are dry, fold, hang and put it ALL away before starting a new load. Genius! I am going to try it this weekend.
6) Work on book.
~~I have been neglecting this. I was putting it off until I got a new laptop so I could have easy access to it anywhere. But a few days ago I found this amazing thing Google offers. Google can store your documents somehow and you can access them from ANY computer. For FREE!
7) Yard Work
~~Hub wants to plant some more grass. Hopefully it will stay warm (in the 70's) enough to get some outside time.
8) Find sunscreen
~~I am so pale, I am clear. I would love to have a teeny bit of a tan but my skin only has 2 colors, clear and red. I burn so easily. I already have skin cancer fears due to the ridiculous amount of time I spent outside growing up. There is this mole thing on my lower back that appeared right after Monk Man was born and there is something going on with the bridge of my nose that I am worried about. Oh well, I will take care of all that later.
9) Play some Rockband or Guitar Hero with Monk Man. We both LOVE these games. The microphone that came with the drums and guitar is broken. Need to get that fixed so I can sing while Monk Man drums.

When I get back to work on Monday, I will let you all know how well I did on the goals. Off to find the sunscreen before I forget!

Ultimate Fighting Tots

Check this out. I found it on msn.com
http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/story/7959842?MSNHPHCP&GT1=39002

Photobucket



This is one of the few sports I can actually sit down and enjoy watching with Hub. I know a couple of lesser known Ultimate Fighters that live in our town. They are people I went to school with. We grew up together.

That being said, I would never let the Monk Man be an Ultimate Fighter at his age. He lacks the understanding of ANY kind of sport. But, when and if he decides that this is the kind of sport he wants to pursue, then I will support him 100%. Hopefully this wont be decided until he has finished growing. But if it happens before I want it to, then so be it. Not a big deal to me.

Sure, there are risks involved. But there are also risks playing football, or baseball, or hell, even walking in your house! Especially with our rampant clumsy gene.

There are also great lessons to be learned from Ultimate Fighting or MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). Discipline is a big one. Being able to defend yourself from someone else is another lesson.

So, if the Monk Man (or Bobblehead) wants to be an Ultimate Fighter, I will support his decision. I will be at every match. I will be his biggest fan.

The Ugly Duckling & Popularity

When I was growing up, I never felt comfortable in my skin. I was the tall, skinny, ugly chick with the funky teeth and I got teased constantly. I am not exaggerating when I say constantly. Every damn day, somebody had something mean and nasty to say to me. I will spare you the details, but I went home from school crying 4 out of 5 days a week. Kids are cruel. The teachers didnt do anything to stop it or even lessen it. They saw and heard it happening and not one of them did a thing. And when my parents went to the school to try to help, it got worse.

And then came Jr. High. I discovered make up and clothes. And boys. I was still uncomfortable with myself, but I tried to appear confident. People started noticing me. I wasnt the same girl I was before and I was trying to be someone that was liked. That was my big thing. I wanted so desperately to belong. To fit in. I didnt like who I was trying to be, but that seemed to be the only way I would fit in. I still got teased, but in a different way. The majority of the teasing seemed to be coming from the popular girls I was trying to be like. I looked up to these girls. I wanted to BE these girls. They were all so pretty and seemed perfect. Plus they got good grades and they boys paid attention to them. Puberty was a bitch.

When I got to High School, I decided that I wanted to be myself. Not what someone else wanted me to be. I was still having problems with other girls. But this time, the other girls were mean to me because I was tall, skinny, freaking hot, smart and HAPPY, and they were jealous. Afraid their boyfriends liked me more. Which they did, just not like their girlfriends thought. There is a difference in a chick friend and a girlfriend. That was fun. Insert eye roll here. Hell hath no fury like a woman whose boyfriend has a chick friend.

Just let me say, my 10 year reunion in 2010 is going to be fun. I have had 2 kids (and a boob job) and I look better NOW than I did in highschool. I am happy with who I am becoming.

I gave up trying to make people like me. Either you like me or you dont. If you dont, thats your problem, I dont care anymore. My kids like me and thats all that matters.

At 26, I am still trying to figure out who I am. I STILL have a hard time being friends with girls. I still have more guy friends than girl friends. And girl friends I DO have are secure, strong women who are not afraid that I will steal their men. Their men are friends with my Hub. And I am fairly certain the my Hub likes who I am. He better be, I got tired of being someone fake a long time ago.

Craptastic Day

Ugh. I am having such a craptastic day. Nothing bad has happened (yet) but I just feel blahhh. I have no energy at all. I dont think any amount of coffee or Red Bull is going to fix today.

Keep your fingers crossed that I dont get sick. I cant get sick. Hub is finally working again so he couldnt help with the kids and I sure as hell dont want to take care of kids if I am sick. Thats why I go to work sick. I would rather be at work getting better and not being stressed out than being at home, getting everyone else sick and being irritated. And I feel guilty if I take Bobblehead and Monk Man to Nonnie's so my ass can stay home alone and get well. The normal working guilt is enough, I dont need sick guilt too.

K.K.'s baby news

KK had her big ultrasound this afternoon. Looks like she is going to have a boy! Hooray another boy in the family! Now I have somebody to pass all of Monk Man and Bobblehead's clothes and "boy" stuff to since Hub and I are done, done, done with having babies. So yeah, give her a call or something to congratulate her.The baby shower is being planned for late June. I will keep you updated.
