Make It Stop! Make It Stop!

As if being Monday wasn't bad enough. Jacob woke up at 6 this morning covered in vomit. His bedroom was even scarier. I was already not feeling well myself and now I have this to deal with. He feels like he's running a fever but he won't hold the thermometer under his tongue and he refuses to shut his mouth. I don't want to do a rectal temp on him because his poor booty is so raw from the explosive diarrhea he's been having since last night. I guess it was a sign of things to come. I tried to give him Tylenol but he just threw it up about 30 minutes later. So now he's in the bath acting like nothing ever happened and I'm freaked out. Trying to keep the two little away from each other is not working out. Would it be wishful thinking if I thought it would start and end with him? I can only hope. I can't deal with that again. After the fiasco in January '09 I can't even imagine doing that again. I'd rather have kidney stones again. No seriously, I would. What we went through the entire month of January last year is what I would envision life in hell to be like. What made it even worse is both DH and I had it at the same time and Josslyn was only 6 months old, Jacob was barely 2, and Justyn had school. I want to cry just thinking of it coming back into this house. Is it bedtime yet?

Spring Break For Who Whom Who?

It's day two into Spring Break and I'm pretty much ready for school to start again. I just keep thinking about how looooooong summer vacation is going to be.

If I hear the word "mommy" one more time I may jump out the window!!! Now that I have 2 that know how to say "mommy" it's pretty much never ending.

The whining...oh the whining and the crying. Jacob is in this habit of running right to mommy and daddy if he doesn't get his way instead of working it out.

Josslyn is cutting teeth I think. It's been a super fun couple days. If she can't see me she's fussing. Separation anxiety at it's finest.

Justyn's best friend is moving today. He is so sad and constantly asking if he can call him. He tears up every time he talks about his friend moving. Breaks a mama's heart.

The ADT guy came too early this morning. Everyone was still sleeping. I say "was" because his incessant ringing of the doorbell woke everyone up. I asked him to come back after I got dressed and Josslyn woke up (since the thing he was fixing is in her room) he said no. So I was forced to reschedule.

We are supposed to be leaving tomorrow for Alabama. We still don't know if we are because my dear husband hasn't submitted his leave request yet. He's known for 2 weeks now. I have laundry and packing to do but I don't even know if we are going!?!

I need a vacation. I need a spring break. I need it quick!

So It's Come To This...

We've all heard that in the future robots would take over all of our jobs. In a lot of ways it's true. Then a lot of people have lost their jobs due to them being sent to other countries. But never, never, did I believe that Barbie dolls would take over modeling jobs. Is this what it's come to?

I was over at OldNavy.com and right there on the home page. The scariest Barbie dolls you've ever seen, modeling the new lines. First off, that just makes me want to close out of the site. Those things are disturbing on so many levels.


The ones on the left look like cross dressing Ken dolls. Not that I have an issue with that, but really, it's kinda weird. Not to mention, what are they wearing? Maybe I have zero fashion sense but seriously, I would never ever put that stuff on my body. I guess you have to be made of plastic to pull it off?


Don't even get me started on the "chick" in the middle. Seriously? Does Old Navy think this is cute for their site? It's scary! I don't love it. OK, off to check out the deals at Old Navy. :-D

Happy Flippin' New Year!

UGH, The past week and a half has been HELL! Everyone in this house was sick, though Josslyn didn't get it too bad. I thought I was going to die. I've never used the bathroom so much in my life! We are finally all better as of today and all this started New Years Day. So that is where I have been. Busy as hell and sick. I hope to jump back into blogging now that I can sit at the computer longer than 5 minutes without going poo.

Frackin' Annoyed!

So I was catching up on my favorite blogs today. I've been a little behind since we were out of town. Anyway, I won't call out the blog because I don't want any drama started over there as it was not her, that irritated me, but a comment.

I know that moms can be super sensitive when it comes to parenting styles. I'm NOT a crunchy mom. I'm not a bad mom. I don't have a certain parenting style I follow. I do what is best for us and mine. If you don't like it, I don't care. You parent the way you want and I will the way I want. But there is nothing more annoying than when other mothers make such broad judgmental statements when it comes to breast vs bottle, cloth vs disposable, CIO vs Not, and of course the ever popular to cut or not to cut.

In regards to the comment I read to a mother who's dealing with a baby who cries when she's put down. Now it could be reflux or something genuinely could be wrong with her but for someone to reply with, "Some would say "let her cry". They probably don't have children! I could never let mine cry. I feel for you:(" This PISSES ME OFF! Not only do I have kids...I HAVE THREE! And you bet your ass I let them cry. Now, with that said, I am a mother. I was blessed with a little thing known as Mothers Instinct. It's a beautiful thing. If I feel they are hurting or something isn't right I will rush to my baby. BUT, BUT, BUT...if there isn't anything wrong, and I have shit to do...you can bet your life savings I'm going to let them cry. If I need to do dishes, I will set Josslyn in her high chair, give her some toys, and let her be. If she wants to bitch, cry, and moan...she can do that. As long as she's making noises I know she's ok. 9 times out of 10 she falls asleep, or she just stops crying. I HATE when people ASSume shit. I spent this past week listening to people praise how FABULOUS my children are. How Josslyn never cries. You are damn right she doesn't. She knows she can't pull one over on mommy. Now, I do snuggle my babies. I don't just ignore them all the time. Just when I know there isn't anything truely wrong with them and I have stuff to do. I have 3 kids and a house to take care of. I do have a sling and when she was smaller I would sling her while cleaning. I also have my chichi girls that are heavy enough without a baby on me.

Well, I think I've wasted enough time on here complaining, LOL. I just get so irritated at judgmental people. Rant over.

Shame On You Price Gouger!

Shame on all of you who are buying up all the hot toys this year and selling them for 2-3 times more than you paid! Maybe I should send you a picture of my little boy's sad face on Christmas morning because he couldn't have a certain toy he wanted. All because you had to make a profit for yourself! I hope you are left with crap you don't need after the holiday season. Maybe I shouldn't have waited till the last minute to buy their stuff, but that doesn't give you the right to cheat my children out of getting what they want.

Procrastination At It's Best

It is 1 month away from Christmas and do I have a single gift bought, NO! Why? Because I have NO idea what to get for my children. If you could see their bedrooms you would understand why. Wait, I will show you...

Justyn's Sty

Jacob's Sty

They are spoiled I know, guilty as charged, but now I'm sick of it. Do you think those heathens pick up those toys? NO! I do! I have 3 kids, a husband, a house, and MOUNDS of laundry not to mention cooking and taking care of myself. I don't have time for more crap to pick up. I am seriously at a loss on what to get them. I would love to just put money into their savings but then I feel like a scrooge because Christmas morning there will be nothing for them under the tree. I feel bad buying them all clothes. What a bummer for them Christmas morning. I can't handle the stink eye from Justyn when he opens up a box of underwear.

As for Rich...no idea. I would like to get him a new Xbox 360 since the Atlas Moving people stole ours when they moved us from Maryland to Florida. Bastards! Everytime I mention it though he gives me the "Ohhh I'll never play it, I'm too busy with work and school." Then he hops on his computer and plays Madden!

Also, we leave in 5 hours for Alabama. We will be gone for 5 days. Do you think I have a single thing packed? NO! Why? Because I'm still working on laundry!!! Why do I do this to myself? I hate packing that's why! I hate hate hate it. Rich is home but he's not allowed to do laundry. Pretty positive he doesn't even know how to work the washer. Not his fault, I forbid him to go near it. He does fold and put away but in order for that to happen, it must be washed and dryed. Yet here I sit, on my flabby arse, complaining about how nothing is getting done, LMAO!

Dear &$#!%...

...at Verizon. I do not appreciate you being such a shrew to me on the phone. It's not my fault your company doesn't know what they are doing or saying. There was no need for you to get snippy with me! Crap like that is why you are giving me the $25.00 a month credit in the first place. Get your shart together! Stop making things more difficult. If the people at Verizon were trained to do their job just a little better you and I wouldn't be on the phone right now, would we?!

Skinny Bitch!

I picked up this book the other day and for the first 5 chapters I couldn't put it down. It's full of raunchy humor. Sarcasm, and a lot of crazy factual stuff as well. But wait...hold up...what's this...::gasp:: I am taken aback...now I have to say I'm a little pissed off. WTF do you mean in order to be a skinny bitch I have to stop eating meat. Say Whaaa? I cannot just stop eating meat. I'm a meat and potatoes type of girl. I can give up my Coke Zero, it was hard but I did it. I can also maybe give up the junk food. I will even get off my lazy ass and do a little exercising, but you are telling me that I have to give up eating those delicious steaks, pot roast, and baked chicken?! Even EGGS! Yep that's right, I said it...eggs. The incredible edible is no longer incredible or edible. HMPH!

Are you NUTS?!?! I can't do that. I am NOT going to eat Tofu. I am so let down by this book now. I will continue to read it because I have learned a lot since starting it. I have also laughed my ass off. I just can't believe they want me to give up meat. Damn those skinny bitches!

Hey Mr. Gas Man!!!

It only cost me $46.00 this morning to fill up! Why am I so excited over this? I remember when I got my license and thinking $13.00 to fill up was outrageous. "It's only gas!" I thought to myself. If I had only known then what I know now. I am still finding myself confused on the whole gas issue. Why are we paying this much for gas? How is it legal? Will it ever be back to $1.00 a gallon? Do politicians have to pay for their gas? CURSE YOU GAS MAN!
