30 Days About Me (Things I am OCD About)

There are a few weird things I do.


If I am getting myself a drink I always put in 7 ice cubes, must never be 6 and more than 7 is just  too crowded in the cup. Yup, weird. 

When I am loading the dishwasher silverware slots I have to have equal forks, spoons and knives in each slot. Yup, that's weird too.

MUST BE sock, sock, shoe, shoe. NEVER sock, shoe, sock, shoe.

And lastly when I kiss my kiddies at night I always kiss them twice on the lips and once on the forehead. I don't find that one too weird :) 

What things are you a little OCD about?

The Tank Top Photo Shoot

I was shocked that so many of you wanted to know what my cute new tank top looked like from my previous post! So I thought I'd do a little photo shoot to show off my 20 pounds lighter self in my new Harley shirt...

Take 1: Oops, my boobs squished the design.

Take 2: Hey, it's me! but you can't really see the shirt.



Take 3: It looks like my armpit is going to attack!



Take 4: How did I accidentally take a picture of my feet?
Taking pictures of yourself is harder than I expected.



Take 5: Hum, well... Here's a picture of my back. Not sure
how this helps you see the shirt though.

Take 6: Since we're goofing off now, let's try one of those sexy close up eye shots! Not quite what I expected, I look drunk.

Take 7: Viola! I figured taking the shirt off would work better :) Here you go my dears, my new shirt. (and yes, I am standing in my living room with no shirt on with the blinds wide open, AAHHHHHHHH)

WOW, I'm exhausted! This photo shoot stuff is tough. It's a good thing I never pursued my modeling career, HA HA! Hope you had fun :) Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Kindergarteners & Nutjobs

What do you think about all the Pomp & Circumstance surrounding Kindergarten Graduations? The munchkin will be finishing up his kindergarten career this Friday, and while I am incredibly proud of him, I don't understand why these little people are being treated like they graduated college?! They have special outfits and hats they need to wear, they have a class party. That's all fine and wonderful. I am talking more about the overboard moms:

Graduation invitations to everyone in suburbia, catering companies called, party planners, photographers, everything! Some women have been planning their child's kindergarten graduation party for months! Doesn't that seem a little excessive to anyone but me?

My little man did a great job in school this year, even changed schools halfway through it. I am amazed at all he has learned and how hard he has worked. I have a great bag of goodies for him to celebrate including a bunch of books for summer reading, activity books and a few action figures he's been wanting. But what he'll also get is a very proud mommy and daddy!

I want my munchkins to know how important school is, but I also want them to understand there is more to come. I will throw the BIGGEST college graduation party you have ever seen, and you're all invited! But, not this year. Not for a 6 year old. Goodness.

What are your thoughts? (please take no offense if you planned a ginormous kindergarten grad party, every one is free to do whatever they want... i just might think you're a little loopy that's all, ha ha)

au revoir, adieu, ciao, till next time...

Cartoon-y Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day everyone! On this day of love I went a little goofy with one of my favorite websites, JibJab and created a bunch of pictures of my hubby and I. I hope you all have a wonderful day, hug your honey, your kids, your pets... anyone :)

Lunch Anyone?

This morning my mini-munchkin was playing in her pretend kitchen. She asked me if I was hungry and did I want her to bake me some lunch. Well, of course I said yes as any good mommy would have. She started to clank away, working on my meal. A few minutes later I was presented with my meal:

Whole baby piglet with a tomato garnish

Oh my... what do I make of this? Should I be concerned? I laughed so hard, luckily she laughed right along with me.

"What mama? you think food is funny?" Yes baby girl, I certainly do :)

Puppy Bowl V

This Super Bowl Sunday will you be watching the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet?

If you have never heard of this, check it out. I am not going to say it is great television, or amazingly entertaining... It really isn't, but it does make me laugh. And plus, who can't resist a bunch of adorable puppies running around playing and bouncing on a football field?

My mini muchkins thinks it's wonderful, she wished this once a year event could be on TV everyday. My older child however, keeps shouting "where's the REAL football? Come ON!"

Seriously, who comes up with this stuff? And don't even get me started on the Kitty half time show! Here is a clip from a few years back:

A Geeky Christmas

As you know, every now and then my inner geek shows herself... This is one of those times :) I ran across these super fun Christmas cards yesterday and HAD to share them with you. Here are a few of my favorites:

This one if hard to read, it says "Oh, I am SO Blogging about this."

(LOVE IT!)

I had Christmas cards... before the move happened, now I fear they are somewhere in the depths of the box filled garage. It was just a photo card of my little family, nothing fancy. Maybe since mine are lost, I'll send one of these, ha ha.

Do you have your Christmas cards ready yet? Do you send cards? Are you one of those people who send a nice lengthy newsletter about the past year?

The Movers Have Arrived

Today is D-Day, the movers are packing up our home as I type. Yes... I am stealing a few seconds before they disconnect my internet, who wouldn't? So in honor of moving day here are some funny pictures I came across. I hope our movers are a bit more professional!! :) Talk to you all soon!

I love how smiley the driver is hauling his load

notice the bed at the very top?

I've seen this one before, I think the caption was "Your ass is over loaded."

How is this even possible?

Goodness, remind me never to complain about carrying a full load from the laundry room again!

Alright people. I am outta here. I hope you all have a great week. If you don't see any posts about the move in the next few days, it must be because we are staying in a way too cheap hotel with no free Wi-Fi. You can picture me tired, curled up on a ball going through internet withdrawal. See you on the flip side.

Locked Out... Again

This morning was quite entertaining around my house...

I locked myself out of the house. In my jammies, no bra, hair pulled up and not brushed yet. In the cold, no phone, and needed to pick the kids up from preschool within the hour. Get the picture? Yeah, it was fun! *grrrr*

Thanks goodness my neighbors mom happened to be home so I could call the hubby. I would have been wandering all over town half naked, in search of a phone. 3o minutes later my knight in shining armor came driving down the street to let me back in the house.

Sadly, this isn't the first time I have locked myself out of the house. I do it often. But, I have never been so vulnerable and in need of saving. I used to have 2 spare keys hidden just for this occasion but they got packed up this weekend.

Thank you sweet heart, what would I do without you?

(I'd be a naked street walker apparently!)

The Mini-Munchkin Asks The Question

Let me set the scene for you:

It's dark out, kids are wondering up and down the streets pumped full of sugar, crazed look in their eyes. Then out skips a beautiful princess, Snow White! She creeps up our neighbors steps, rings the doorbell and says...

"Trick or Treat! Why do you let your doggy poop all over our yard?"

Neighbors smile leaves her face, she quickly hands out the candy and shuts the door. I guess we'll never know why her grass isn't good enough for her dog.

I love her, she's so direct and straight to the point :) My hubby looked at me with a disapproving frown. What? Do you think she got that from me? *he heee hee, i know she did!*

Happy day after Halloween everyone!

20 Questions

I have been so preoccupied with moving stuff. My mind is turning to mush, so I thought I would let you in on some tidbits about me.

Fun With Politics

In light of all this political stuff going on these days, I thought I would share a silly pictures of my kids looking for Halloween costumes. My son "Obama" (note he has to go potty and is holding himself... oh that Obama is a riot!) and my daughter as "Hillary". I tried to get them to try on the McCain mask but they insisted that they didn't want to dress up like a "Scary old man" ha ha.

I was laughing so hard while taking this picture.

They decided on a Captain Jack Sparrow and Snow White by the way :) I hope you all have a great day, it's rainy here so I am sure my house will be a disaster by evening from bored munchkins wanted to play outside.
