Spinning Anyone?

Someone should put a stupid sign on my head to warn people!

I spent the afternoon with Mini Bug in the pool again today, hoping to tire her out, and maybe just maybe she would sleep all night and I could get a good night sleep (didn't work by the way).

So, while in the pool, with us playing and splashing, her practicing her new swimming skills, I decided to get in the inner tube floaty thing, and dig this...spin myself around in circles as fast as I could. I remembered doing that as a kid, so I don't know what the freak I was thinking, but I did it.

Holy Mother of God, I couldn't open my eyes for about 5 minutes. Everytime I did it felt like I was going to be deathly sick, so I would hurry up and close them again. I kept praying..ohh please don't let me throw up in the pool...and try to open my eyes again, only to feel like the world was spinning a million miles an hour around me and I was going to up chuck last weeks meals, and maybe even my toes. Mini Bug, kept saying, you ok? (she says that so cute) I couldn't answer her, but I was glad she kept asking, because then I knew SHE was ok. I so didn't want to throw up in 18,500 gallons of water. How in the hell would you get that clean?

So, I was finally able to open my eyes, and get out of the pool. But let me tell you, I have felt dizzy and sick for the rest of the day and even still now. But I might be feeling sick now, because its 12:01 and Mini Bug woke up and doesn't want to go back to sleep. Spoiled..yes..did I do it..ohh yes...am I sorry...Damn right.

Words of Wisdom...if over 40, don't spin in circles dumb azz!

Yard Signs

We moved to Florida the end of October last year. We bought a house in a residential area. What a change that has been for me. I went from very rural, where houses were far far apart, to neighbors everywhere. I think the biggest thing that bothers me is the litter. That's right, people just drive down the road and throw their trash in my front yard. I have spent a lot of time and money to make my lawn pretty. Every morning I wake up and find trash thrown my in yard. It's really starting to make me angry.

So, I think I am going to get some yard signs and put them on the edge of my property, where my lawn meets the road, and say, keep your trash off my lawn!



I found a nice company that will make custom signs for me, fast and exactly the way I want. If the signs aren't absolutely perfect, they will make it right.

Lady Finger Cheese Cake

On Memorial Day, my parents neighbor came over for the picnic. They brought a Lady Finger Cheese cake that was to die for, it was so good. I finally got the recipie off of her, and I will share it with you all, because, well...it's good, and easy to make, and I'm all about easy! Oh did I mention, NO BAKE! How cool is that huh...don't have to heat up your kitchen on these hot days.

Fat Fun in the Sun

Today was hot! So Mini Bug and I spent a lot of the afternoon in the pool. Playing in the water seems to really tire her out. Which is a good things, because she has a ton of energy, like that damn bunny, she just keeps going and going and going.

I want one of these, doesn't it look fun?

I am getting a nice tan from spending so much time in the pool with her. Which is nice because fat always looks so much nicer when its tanned and not sickly white. And fat I am. I will have to really make an effort to get these pounds off that I put on since moving down here. Checking out all the new restaurants is what did it...that on top of falling and severely spraining my ankle...which still isn't 100% healed. Things don't seem to heal as fast as you get older. Not saying I'm old, just saying...older! Having to chase a 2 yr old around on a sprained ankle doesn't help the healing process either. So...I have to start a diet, and soon! I have nothing against fat people, I just don't want to be one, and I am one right now! Yuck! But you know your husband loves you, even after you gained 30 pounds and he tells you, your beautiful! I am blessed indeed

What Are The Words To That Song,

I love music, almost all kinds of music...even some rap. I have to admit that with Rap, 9 times out of 10 I don't know what in the heck they are saying. I came across a site today that solves that problem for me. Now I can look up Rap Lyrics and know what the words are to the songs I hear on the radio. Or, better yet, I can call one of my sons and sing the lyrics to them on the phone, that always cracks them up when I do that.
Imagine your mom calling you up and singing these words,Twista, first time I kicked it off with "Adrenaline Rush" Next album I kicked it off with "They Kill Us All" This time, I'm a show you how to "Check That Hoe" Check it out...which are Kanye West Lyrics.

So if your like me, and you hear a rap song on the radio and you don't have a clue as to what they are saying, you can just look them up!

Watch Your Children

I read the news every day on line, I hear the news on TV in the background, and I am sort of numb to all the crime and horrific things that people do to each other that is reported each day.

I read this today, and it really affected me. I am very sad, and also mad. This is a tragedy that shouldn't have happened. My heart goes out to the 14 yr old girl who made a terrible mistake, my heart bleeds for the parents of the child that was killed.

I want to say this, and I am not putting blame on anyone, or passing judgement. I just want to take the time to remind all parents out there, to, WATCH YOUR CHILDREN!

14 yr olds still need to be watched. 5 yr olds should never, ever! be out of your site. These poor families are suffering, and will never recover from this tragedy. Keep your children safe, keep your eyes on them, know what they are doing at all times. Know WHERE they are at all times. Never allow your small child to play outside alone unattended, or so far away from you that you can't grab them and protect them.

I really am sad.

Oh No, Oh My

Kids are sleeping, I needed a little humor!

Bug Me

Sorry about not posting, I have been so very busy, with changing stinking diapers, washing formula puke clothes, chasing the 2 year old around like a mad woman.
Since the baby came Mini Bug has been very clingy, more so than normal. She loves her new brother, and will sit next to him and coo..ohh baby, and kiss him on the forehead and stuff like that, but when I am holding him, she insists I have to hold her also. Holy chit, my lap and arms are ready to fall off. I suppose it could be worse (maybe)

Memorial Day, we went to my parents for a picnic. Mini Bug and I took a swim in her pool, and she was wearing her life jacket, and for the first time, she let go of my hand! I was so proud of her, so I swam just a little bit away from her, and said, come on ..come to mommy, and by gosh, she did!!!! I was so proud of her, because I knew how afraid she has always been. She's getting to be such a big girl.

So we had fun on Monday, ate good food, like potato salad and fried chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs, beans, corn on the cob, and the neighbors came over and brought a to die for home made desert..I don't know what the name of it was, but it had lady fingers, strawberry's and some kind of cream cheese that put pounds on my ass before I even took a bite. Twas a good day.

Today, not so good. Woke up to Mighty Bug, having chit from his toes to his Adams apple, while I was cleaning him up, Mini Bug busted my glasses. So I walked around all day squinting. I usually have contacts around, but not now. Haven't bought any new ones since I moved down here. Now I will have to make an eye appointment and get glasses and new contacts. One more thing to add to my never ending list of things I have to do.

Similac sent me a Diaper Bag today, that was nice, I have a diaper bag, what I need are COUPONS...not a coupon for their formula to be found in the diaper bag. There was a small can of similac advance that's a sample...but no coupons. With Similac Advance costing around 25-26 dollars a can, and we go thru a can a week.. I NEED coupons, more than I need a diaper bag. Sigh...I hope they send some. But again, the diaper bag was a nice thing to send me...made me feel kinda errr...special, in an all black kinda Goth look way. Thank you Similac.

Then I called Playtex, because the bottles that I bought, all leak! Playtex Airvent Advance, I think is the name. She told me she would send me a mailing label, to send them back and then send me coupons to replace them. So, in the mean time I will have to buy all new bottles. Sigh again.

Well, there is a lot more I could complain about, but Mini Bug is running around like there is a fire under her azz and Dr Corny has Mighty Bug who is now being very fussy so I better go give a hand or two, and both feet I suppose to chase the runner.

.....and it's still being written.

Memorial Day

Tomorrow is Memorial Day, and while we are all having our Bar-B-Que cook outs, opening our pools, and having fun in the sun with family and friends,

Let us take a moment or two and reflect on this.

In Flanders Fields

John McCrae, 1915.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

Memorial Day and every day, God Bless Our Fallen, God Bless our Soldiers in battle and bring them home safe.
