Hi everybody! (did anyone else say that in the Dr. Nick voice? lol)

I just thought id pop on and make a quick post. Nothing too exciting. D and I were talking about Christmas today! He wants to get the stocking stuffers out of the way early so we have more time and less running around trying to make it even for all 3 kids. I can't handle it when 1 has more than the others. And because I tend to over buy for the drama queen we end up doing just that. Every year. This year though I made a list of things I would like to put in their stockings and we will go off that. Smart right?

Drama Queen
1. Cupcake body lotion
2. Body wash
3. Nail Polish
4. Lip gloss
5. Erasers
6. Jewelry
7. Wallet
8. Key chain w/ house key
9. Perfume samples
10. Razor
11. Shaving cream
12. Tooth paste travel kit

G
1. McDonalds gift card
2. Camera tripod
3.Captain America Poster
4. Comic Books
5. Glow in the dark stars

Little Boy
1. Glow in the dark stars
2. Character silverware set

{25 things YOU don't know about me!}

There's this tag going around youtube (yes...I love youtube..) and I wanted to do it lol. It's basically just 25 random facts that you don't know about me. So here I go!

1. I have had 3 last names and only been married once. It depends on who I'm talking to, as to which last name they know me by. Family knows me by my birth name & fathers last name, they usually called me by my fathers last name though when talking to someone about me. Friends at school knew me by my fathers last name. When I turned 18 I went by my legal last name (my mothers maiden name) and that is who the people I worked with knew me as. Now I've got my husbands last name. It's confusing to keep all of us straight lol.

2. I am a nail polish addict. I look at the displays every store we go in, pretty much every time I go lol. The displays rarely change and the colors never do (at walmart) but I look anyway.

3. I am the oldest of 4 kids. I have 2 brothers & a sister.

4. I am not a vegetarian. I love meat!

5. If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be tacos. Good lord I love tacos!

6. I was born on Friday the 13th.

7. I met my husband online :). (So be careful girls! That crazy guy you met might actually be the one you spend the rest of your life with!)

8. I had no intention of naming either of my boys the names I gave them. I changed them both the day I went into the hospital.

9. I am DEATHLY afraid of a zombie Apocalypse. I have nightmares about it on a regular basis. *shudders*

10. I am a night owl. I sleep best during the day. Having kids has made this challenging.

11. My first crush was in Kindergarten and I "loved" him from then to our high school graduation. Sometimes when I see him I still get butterflies. And he probably STILL doesn't know my name lol.

12. My grandparents raised me.

13. I have a far better relationship with my dad now than I ever did as a child.

14. Pink is my favorite color (and I...I wanna wrap you rubber..10pts to whoever knows what song that is from!)

15. Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday!

16. I never make my bed. Ever. If someone is coming over I just shut the bedroom door and don't let anyone open it lol.

17. I said I didn't want kids up until the day I delivered my first born. What can I say? He grew on me ;)

18. (You probably already know this but I'm gonna tell you again) I LOVE the Backstreet Boys!! :)

19. Oddly enough I do not enjoy any of the little boy bands that have come after the Backstreet Boys. Go figure.

20. Clowns freak me out. I think it's because my grandparents used to let me watch IT when I'd spend the night with them. Creeeeepy.

21. Sometimes when I look down at my hand and see a wedding ring on it..I get a little excited :).

22. My favorite place to sleep in the whole world is in my grandparents motor home. No joke. Even though it smells a little funky.

23. Halloween is my 2nd favorite holiday. Mainly cause it's the only one husband will get excited for. *sigh*

24. My dream is to one day own a real designer bag. :)

25. I'm not pregnant. And thank the LORD.

There you go. 25 things you didn't know about me. Or maybe you did. Either way. :)

{Here I go}

I'm blogging from the bathroom! Don't judge!

Anyway- I know I haven't been blogging as much as I used to. But really there is just nothing exciting going on right now. Tue kids are in school and I'm currently looking for a job. I don't want babble on in blogs that have no point...like I'm doing right now lol.

I can share a few pics with you though from Bugs birthday party! I can't believe he is 5 already. It doesn't feel like he should be that big :-(.  Beforw you ask no he is not in school right now. I didn't feel like he was ready and he missed the deadline in terms of birthday to be screened anyway. So we are doing a little learning athone and since he's my lid I fet to make that decision. Thanks do much! But here are a couple pics.













There is that! We just did a chili and hot dog party cause it was crazy cold out that day. Which I thought was funny cause the day I brought him home from the hospital it was 90*.





We also managed to get the living room floor done. We painted this one. I think it looks awesome and as soon as we can we are gonna.paint the walls. I'm excited to finally be getting things done to the house! It only took us a year and a half lol.

I think that's about it. Gonna go now. Have I mentioned how much I love my phone lately? Cause I do. And it is that that you can thank for any typos cause its what I'm blogging on right now...in the bathroom. LOL

{Another year gone by..}

5 years ago today at 6am I delivered the most beautiful 7lb. 12oz. bundle of boobie monster I'd ever seen. I spent the rest of the day trying to first get the OK to take a damn shower (cause apparently they don't want you to be clean? I don't know) and then calling everyone under the sun to tell them he had made his arrival.



And here we are 5 years later. He is the most unbelievable little boy I know. Smart (sometimes too smart lol) and real mama's boy. I didn't know that after G it would ever be possible to love another kid as much as I love him, but I do. I could not imagine my life without my Bug :)

{A new season!}

I am completely in love with fall. I love to watch the leaves change and fall off the trees into my waiting back yard. I love the smells especially though. While I took a nap after going to a town festival and parade D took the kids outside and built a little fire to burn some random things in the yard. When I woke up and went to hug Bug he smelled of my favorite fall smell. Camp fire. Is that a weird smell to like? I suppose no weirder than gas, which I also enjoy the smell of (the kind you put in cars..not the kid that clears a room lol). I can't wait to break out my hoodie and wear my favorite pair of boots all over town. I am so excited to decorate for Halloween. It's the only holiday I can get D even a little bit involved in. Which I admit is kind of annoying, but still..I'll take what I can get.

Today we had a town festival. We all got up semi early for a Saturday and went to the parade. Which was oddly enough, about 45min. long. The last parade I went to I waited for an hour to sit for 20min. of parade. Dumb. Not the case today :)

waiting for the parade to start.

 Silly hat!

Daddy bought him a cop set from a vendor. $10 for a toy I could get for $2 lol.

His first carnival ride!!

G & D riding Scat...G's first time riding a big kid ride!

So that's what I did today. And next week I'll be going to another fair! Can't wait for that one either. So what's your favorite part of fall?

{Up all night..}

What I do at 1am:


Taken with my webcam. Don't you love it? I try to do this at least once a week but I'm doing it twice this week because I got bored. Don't judge me.

A lot has been going on here lately. Nothing super exciting. But still, stuff. The older kids (Drama Queen & G) went back to school. Kind of exciting stuff!



He looks so thrilled doesn't he? This was at orientation. I didn't get any pics of the drama queens cause she didn't have an assigned seat or anything. Anyway- that's exciting stuff. G is also riding the bus to school this year. Which I find helpful since I don't want to get up and drive him lol. Their bus stop is right up the street, I can actually stand on my front porch and watch them get on the bus. So all is good with that. I'm not concerned. Last year we had troubles with his bus driver however and I hope we don't repeat those or I'm gonna open a can of whoop ass on her! ;) Or I'll let D do it, whichever.

Also, it's getting to be that time of year. I've already seen Halloween costumes displayed in stores. It's not even September yet and they're already pushing holidays down our throats. RIDICULOUS I TELL YOU!!! But I'm excited for them too! Halloween is the only holiday that D gets in to. I'm hoping to get to decorate a little more this year and make it fun :). We didn't do pumpkins last year or anything cause we just didn't have the money *sad face*. So this year I want to make it good :). No one has said what they want to be yet though. Maybe when wal-mart has its costumes out they'll start talking more about it.

With Halloween talk soon comes Christmas talk. And it freaks me out!! Christmas is so close and we don't know what the hell we're getting any of the kids yet. *sigh* Maybe I should start asking now? Avoid the craziness in Dec. Especially with the whole "the world is ending on Dec. 22nd" thing *eye roll*. I don't know how nuts it's gonna be and I don't want to be out shopping in it. People are nuts!!

So there was my random all over the place post. We're supposed to go to some Native American shindig tomorrow. I don't know what it is, but if I can take pics, you can bet your booty there will be some posted :). Good night kids!

{Kid Mode..thank you!}

I know that I've talked a lot about apps lately, but I downloaded another one about a week ago that has been a real joy lol.

I don't know about anyone else, but Bug loves my phone. He loves to watch videos, netflix, and play games. But honestly I don't like for him to play a lot on it, not because he might break it, but because there are always so many ads on the game apps. So as he's playing things are popping up wanting him to click them and obviously he doesn't know what he's clicking on. So it was rare that he could actually go ahead and play a game without me sitting right on top of him.

Until now. I downloaded an app called Kid Mode on the android market (or google play whatever you want to call it now). The description says: "#1 App for Kids! Fun, educational games for kids 8 and under. All your child's favorite Android apps in one place. With our Child Lock feature, kids stay safely in Kid Mode!" I've heard it before though.

Let me tell you this girls, this app does what it says! You create an account and customize it with your childs picture (so they know what to click on when they enter the app) and they can play games, watch videos, listen to stories. It's awesome! Now Bug is constantly on my phone lol. I put it on the main page and he knows right where to go and does it on his own. I love it! Oh! And he can't exit the app on his own. That's one of the best parts for sure. He can get to the main page of the app, where he logs in, but it won't let him hit the home button or back until I sign him out :). It's handy.

The only thing I do not enjoy is that for more than just 1 story you have to pay for Pro. Which isn't that big of a deal because he isn't a 'story' kind of kid. But still. And I understand that if they want to keep the app running and do updates they need people to buy the pro and such. Still. Could have added a couple stories to the free one instead of just 1. But that's seriously my only complaint.

So if you're looking for a good app for your little person to use on your phone (or tablet), check this one out!

{Renovation Realities}

I hate working on the house. Hate. But I love the finished result.

This weekend D and I (mainly D cause it's "mans work" as a friend put it lol), refinished our hardwood dining room floors. I am in love with them. They make the whole house seem cleaner. I don't know how that's possible. Then again, looking back at pictures of my floor before, I can see how it would look dirty to some people.

These pictures are before, during, and 2 afters. It might look like the floors don't match, but I assure you they do and they look amazballs!

But now we have to figure out a good color to paint the walls. Originally I was thinking a green to cover up this white/blue the sellers had painted it (along with the entire upstairs..ugh). Then today while I was looking at paint samples I came across this beauty.

It's Warm Gold by Glidden. I'm pretty much in love with it right now. We'll see in a few weeks when I actually have to buy it lol. We're going to do white base boards and white crown molding. I originally wanted wainscoting but I don't think it'll look very good in this room. *sad face*

I'm excited to get this room done so that I can start on the living room and bedroom! That's a whole new post though lol.

{3rd and 5th and Pre-K..Oh My!}

I am so not ready for this to happen this year. I just can not handle the thought of my little boy going off to school. I know I'm going to have a hard time with it. But I also know it has to be done. He has to go to school. He can't stay with only me forever, that's just not how things are done. Besides, D & I don't want him to 40yrs old and still living in the basement. That's just weird and wrong on so many levels. So I'm going to suck it up, hold back my tears (at least as far as he can see), and register my little Bug for Pre School tomorrow. *tear*

And lets not even get me started on G and the Drama Queen! Wasn't it just a few days ago that I was taking a picture of them on their first day pre school?


But now G is going into the 3rd grade (after much deliberation on how we were going to help this year. Thank God for this school district) & Drama Queen is going to be in 5th grade! Do you believe that? I know I know! It's crazy.

Friday after D gets home we're going back to school shopping! My favorite kind of shopping! I have their lists all made out and stored on my phone and as soon as I can go through Drama Queens clothes, I'll see what they need clothes wise. They don't get but an outfit or 3 (depending on the sale) right now though cause they get plenty of clothes for Christmas lol.

Just a few weeks to go now! Are you and your kiddos getting ready to head back to school?
