Shame on me

I know...I'm a baaad blogger. I've just been so focused with closing on our new home...moving into our new home...and now settling in our new home. But as soon as I have a few minutes that I don't feel guilty about because I'm not unpacking boxes I'll post a few pics of the house and the kids playing in the yard....but until then I hope all is well with my bloggy friends which I plan on staying up late tonight to catch up on but as of now...I can't wait for NORMAL to pay a visit. :o)

The prompt I picked:


What are three things we would love to know about you!(inspired by Live. Laugh. Pull Your Hair Out)

1.) I’m the baby of 3 girls. My sisters are mother hens. Which means it doesn’t matter that I’m a grown woman who’s married with kids of my own. I still get bossed around like the good ole days and I still do WHATEVER my seesters tell me to…or else.

2.) I REALLY dislike cats. Especially THIS one that poops in front of my house. Everytime I see the little sucker I can’t help but have visions of taser water guns.

3.) I have a new food or drink craving every month that I can’t get enough of. This month it’s Smartfood white cheddar popcorn. Last month it was Apples and Peanut Butter. The month before that it was white mochas. I know…I’m a weirdo…at least that’s what my hubby says :o)

Thanks for reading!

First Hair Cut

Jeren got his FIRST hair cut from Grandma today. He went from my baby to a little boy just with the snip of a pair of scissors.

Eating the gummy worms Mommy bribed him with

Hmmm...what is Granny up to?

There goes his baby curls...the few he had :o(

My handsome lil' boy

Power90

Last night the infomercial for Power90 came on and when Jeren saw a before picture of this guy he innocently pointed and said “Dada”. Which of course I started to laugh hysterically because the look on Jerry’s face was priceless.

That was until a before picture of this woman came on and Jeren pointed and said “Momma”.


Needless to say we should have our P90 program in 5-7 days….

As good as I once was

Jerry and I just got done eating a late lunch at the Pub. He introduced me to the new bartender who by the way is a complete sweetheart and remindes me of my sister but anyways she says to me.

“Oh my gosh! I recognize you from some party pics in John’s office! I heard you used to be such a blast!"

You heard it. I used to be a blast. Opposed to now, a mother of two that has not only lost her womanly enticement but her "blastyness" as well.

At this point my husband was trying not to laugh so hard that beer would come shooting out of his nostrils.

As if his legendary days aren’t behind him? What-e-v-a!

But I do feel a song coming on.

We believe in 2nd Chances!

I haven't blogged much lately probably because I have GREAT news! Friday our realtor called and the people that were getting the house couldn’t get financing and the seller (a relocation company) dropped the price of the house $25,000! I was so excited I almost peed my pants (sorry to much information) Anyways, I called Jerry we submitted another offer and they took it plus they are paying all the closing cost! We got the house we wanted for 30 thousand dollars cheaper!

Seriously…the man upstairs was watching over us.

Here is a pic from the realty site I will post more when we move in since this doesn’t give the house justice.

Bar Flowers

Jerry called me yesterday to see if I wanted to meet him for a beer after work. He already made arrangements with his Mom to watch the kids a little longer and he pre-ordered a pizza so I wouldn’t have to cook dinner
(This is his way of saying “I’m sorry for acting worse than our 18mth old son while being sick the last few days)

When I arrived at the Ace he had my drink waiting for me and after we chatted with everyone for a few minutes the bartender pulled a bouquet of flowers out from the beer fridge and sat them in front of me. Now I have to give my husband some kudos.

There is nothing like getting flowers in a bar while sipping a Malibu and coke…I think I feel in love all over again :o)

My new favorite shows

Now don’t get me wrong I still hold a spot in my heart for Dr. McDreamy and Dr. McSteamy and I look forward to our time together in the future months, but for now.

Dr’s are out and Nurses are in!

Nurse Jackie

Hawthorne

Sickness and Men

I’m sick…again.

I’m not big on taking medicine I never have been I think it might have something to do with the fact that I grew up with family members that where pill popping fools. Need to lose 10 pounds here take a pill, need some sleep here take a pill, oh you have an ingrown nail here take a pill!

Okay you get my drift.

So basically if I don’t need it…I won’t take it. I see myself more as a vicks vapor rub, orange juice drinking dupe when I’m sick. I have vicks in my purse, office, nightstand, kid’s toy box (Okay it only happened once) Anyways, It drives Jerry nuts. He tells me I smell like an old lady and he sleeps on the couch when I’m all greased up. This morning however I went upstairs to find him on the couch sprawled out with a shiny coat of vicks on his chest. When he woke up I asked if he slept okay and he snapped at me he didn’t because I gave him my freakin cold and warned me 2 days ago not to give him any freakin kisses so he wouldn't get sick and look what freakin happened and he couldn't find any freakin cold medicine so he had to use some of my freakin vicks that he freakin hates.

I know. Isn’t he just a freakin ray of sunshine when he’s sick?

NyQuil here I come.
