money...just as bad as a 4 letter word

ever thought money should be a 4 letter word? i do at times, it is right up there with damn, shit, and whatever else some days, feels like one can work and work and still spin on that same hamster wheel of life, sometimes i know it takes hard work to get ahead, i truly understand and respect that but would it be so wrong to ever get one gold star? one award for doing good? one small break? It truly just gets frustrating, what is your word that might as well be a 4 letter word?

so this little magical pill, i remember it well. I myself used to swear by it, I had taken this when younger and shed a ton of weight, but long forgot about it some how god only knows how/why) until, today when i saw it on Dr. Oz . it basically is in our bodies already, and thinner people produce more of it, we could get the same affect if we ate oh gee 90lbs of raspberries.. OR take 100 mg in morning of this, i think id take this... it pretty much tricks the body into thinking its thin, it truly does help the body naturally, no hard chemicals, or weird FDA needed research things in it, pure and simple, so look into it, of course diet and exercise is a must as well with any lifestyle change, i don't say diets for diets fail one needs a lifestyle change.

digital scrapbooking

so i said ok, I will give digital scrap booking a 2nd chance, and now that im sorta getting hang of it i do actually like it, but i do like the old paper and stamp way as well. but must say the options are ENDLESS! it is addicting and very time consuming! but i must say i find it very comforting and relaxing to say the least, i use a free program called GIMP. it is just like photoshop but free. here is a picture of my attempt with GIMP

Veggie snacks ...who knew

So bought these the other day (despite my husbands distaste look when I showed him) get home and wouldn't you know my fussiest of fussy husbands and kiddos liked them, they are indeed a must try

a pet peeve of mine..

a big pet peeve of mine that i truly have, is those that sit and complain about how hard it is to be a parent, granted YES it is hard its damn near tiring.. however, it is those with 1 child, and specially if you work, or if your husband works a 9-5 mon.-fri. job, and you have plenty of friends/family around, and you still have the nerve to sit and complain and moan about how hard parenthood is?.. that is the type of parent i truly despise and really REALLY want to smack upside the head with a big dose of reality! my world? Two kids, ages 3 and 1 girls, a husband that works 70-100 hours a week depending on the weather(truck driving) no daycare cause frankly it is NOT cost-efficient for us, why pay some one 60-70% of my check to watch my children ? to me that is to much of my check to make it worth the time to be away from my kids. it would cost us roughly 2400/month for daycare alone, no thanks. so I am basically the sole provider for my kids 95% of the time from time they wake to time they sleep , and every night mare and monster in between. A simple trip to the store, Hell a simple trip to gas station bathroom is a thing of the past to this mother, so when i hear some of these stories of how " hard" it is with that 1 child you have that you 1. don't see much due to working 2. have a great support help from family or significant other. all i have to say to you is trade places with me for a week, and then we can talk.... after you pick up your shaken body off the ground from experiencing real "hard parenting"

duct tape and little girls

oh, the days i wish i had duct tape(oh and the fact that i wish it was humane too) and i could just duct tape the girls to a wall or each other, that could provide rather amusing in the end as well....hmm (thinks), the constant "mommy she hit me" and "wah" all over one toy or another is very tiresome, i used to intervene at every page turning drama, puppy toy stealing moment, but I've reached the point, as to if unless your crying tears cause your hurt then don't bug me about it! figure it out between the two of you! mommy has to maintain her sanity(what she has left of it that is) some how)
