{No denying it now}

This here is a picture of my first tattoo. I was dating a guy at the time with a friend who did tattoos and I got one :). I don't regret him one bit (the tattoo...the guy I regret to this day lol). Soon after I got him I wanted another. But me and the guy broke up and so on and so forth. I've been planning tattoos for years. I like them to mean something and for them to be a reminder of a time in my life I don't soon want to forget. Which is true for the bunny. He helps me to remember that I'm worth more than what I thought I was at the time.





And here is my 2nd tattoo. This "I love you" is written by D. He thought it was dumb of me to get something like that on such a public spot but its what I wanted :). Its honestly the next best thing to a name tattoo which I will not do.

And five minutes after leaving the shop where I got this done...I wanted another one lol. I'm planning it as we speak ;).

{Ematic Tablet & An Email from Santa?!}

I know not a lot of people read my little blog here, but I thought even if I help one person avoid the BS of this tablet, it'd be worth the time spent writing this. D and I wanted to get Bug his own tablet for Christmas this year. I thought a cheaper one might be better because chances are it'll get broken eventually and who wants to be out $200? Plus, he's 5yrs old. He doesn't need something that expensive. So I got on walmart.com and ordered him the Ematic tablet. It said it was an android so I figured it would use the market and have all the great apps that he loves on my phone. Not the case. This tablet is an android but has its own app store. I was super annoyed with that at first, but then it wouldn't even let me register for the app store! It kept giving me the drop down for country but it wasn't showing anything. No matter how I held the tablet it was blank. It also had a wonky touch screen. No matter where I clicked it would take me to where I didn't click and when I tried to scroll it would zoom in. Pointless. I eventually just got tired of it and decided to take it back. It was $64.00 at walmart (that's with tax). I'm just going to get him an Innotab2 and be done with it. So if any of you are searching for a tablet for your little one, bypass this one and save yourself the headache.

Now on to more pleasant matters :)...well..leading up to more pleasant anyway. Driving home from picking up the Drama Queen and Bug yesterday from my grandparents house, the subject of Santa came up. Bug looks at me and said, "Santa's not real!" Now you can imagine my horror. Who had taken my little boys innocent belief in Santa so soon?? He's just 5. He can't have figured out that it's just a story already! Has he?? So I ask him, "Where did you hear that?" Ready to rip whoever had told him this crap a new one. He says, "Drama Queen" (only he said her name lol). I almost pulled the car over I was so mad. She denied it of course because she knew she screwed up. I made her go straight to bed that night. How could she tell her little brother something like that?! She doesn't even completely not believe in him yet, how could she try to ruin it for him?? I'm still so annoyed with it that I could spit nails. But instead I took to my facebook mommy group (hi girls!!) and vented to them. One of them gave me this site..Portable North Pole. You can made a personalized video to your child from Santa! You get to choose if the child has been naughty or nice or if they've been an equal mix of the 2 (like most kids are). You add a picture and tell a little about your child so Santa can state some facts about them. Then the site emails the video to you from Santa :). Bug was completely thrilled by it! He officially believes in Santa again and will for as long as he doesn't realize I set that video up lol. To explain why Santa had emailed him I told him I had emailed him first and told him what his sister had told him. And he wanted to prove her wrong.

Of course when Drama Queen found out about this video, she wanted me to email Santa about her and see what he had to say. So I made her a video except I put her on the naughty list. Mean? Probably. But the kid told her 5yr old brother there is no such thing as Santa. And she needs to learn not to open her big mouth. Santa knew an awful lot about her too :).

So I think all of you should go over to that site and let your little guys/girls experience an email video from Santa!

{So here it is!}

I can not believe we are almost finished Christmas shopping and we still have a month until Christmas! This never happens to us! lol We are those parents still rushing around the week before trying to find exactly what the kids want. But this year we started kinda early. D got his bonus check this week and we made a huge dent with that. Drama Queen is pretty much taken care of. No problems with that. But G & Bug, those 2 are kinda hard to shop for.

All Bug asked for was a Halo 4 (which we are getting them) and a shot gun lol. When I asked him what he wants, he literally said those 2 things and nothing more. *sigh* So we are getting all 3 of them Halo 4 (joint gift), their own wireless controllers, and then the charging dock like the one that D got for his birthday 2yrs ago. That charger has really come in handy!

We also are going to pick up Bug another shot gun *eye roll*. The kid has 20 different friggin' guns up stairs but he wants a new shot gun. I figure I'll hit Dollar General for that. No point in spend $20 on something he's gonna leave outside lol. I also ordered him a tablet so he can stop stealing my phone lol. It should be here Friday. And he's got a couple costumes and a Halo figure for under the tree.

G asked for a pellet gun that looks like a pistol or something like that. I'm no good with guns lol. D got him that and a bunch of stuff to go with it. A holster and Co2 and all that jazz. We got him that thermus that he's going to be happy with I'm sure. And we're gonna get him some other goodies that have nothing to do with a gun. We just don't know what.

Drama Queen wanted a DS so we bought her one of those even though I told her she wasn't getting any more gadgets this year. She has gotten a camera, laptop, and an MP3 player over the last few years. I think that's enough. So this will be the last gadget we buy her for a while I'm sure. She's also getting clothes, which she said she wants, and some other random stuff that I found for her along the way.

What's uneven is the stockings. Drama Queen is so easy to buy for because she likes all the girly stuff right now. So I'm in 7th Heaven buying for her. The boys are really hard to buy for though. I did manage to find a few thing for them though that I think they'll enjoy. At least I hope so. I miss the days when just a couple toys in the stocking was enough. But I kinda like having an excuse to buy them all this stuff :).

So what are your kiddos getting from Santa?

{It has begun!}

Yup. That's my Christmas tree right there. I put it up yesterday. Why? I couldn't tell ya lol. I got in the mood after going to Hobby Lobby and seeing all their Christmas trees. I couldnt help myself. I love Christmas but I try to wait until after Thanksgiving to put my decorations up. Anyway- I'm kinda bumbed that my tree is missing the angel my mother used on hers. Not because I didn't want to use it. But because its a plug in angel and there is no plug in on this tree :'(. So we bought a star today and I figure I will just use my angel somewhere else. Still a little odd for her to not be on my tree though. I have had her since I moved out on my own.

But enough about my sad little tree. D and I also picked up some wrapping paper minus the cartoon characters this year. We also picked up a little DS purse for the drama queen to keep her DS in (cause we bought that last week). I also found G a thermos! I've been looking for one forever. He likes to take hot stuff to school but nothing stays hot. Its annoying. So he will be happy with that :).

OK so that's what I did today. What'd you do?

{This can not be my kid...}

Oh lord. Please someone help me. Something has taken over my little boy and turned him into a fit throwing little heathen and I don't like it one little bit! What happened to the sweet little boy that just wanted to nurse? Blah. I guess that stopped about the time weened huh? My fault. Should have kept him on the boob. *sigh*

Today he didn't want to put his shoes on to run up to the school. He refused to go up to the toy room to go look for them. He then refused to put them on. Same with his socks and his coat. So I told him if he didn't stop he couldn't play xbox the rest of the day. That means no Halo 4 when daddy gets home too, not just missing out on the kids xbox and netflix. So he was pretty pissed about it.

When the kids came home he kept asking for the xbox. He wants to play with G on it so bad. It's what they do every day after school. I kept telling him no, he started throwing another fit. Throwing around clean laundry and even kicked a pillow.

So this is where my little boy ended up...



He's still pretty pissed off. But he'll get over it. He's too old for fits.

{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 :)
