So What Thursday!

This week I'm saying so what if:

- I've been too busy to blog for the past week!
- I drink a glass of wine...like every day.  Mmmm...Moscato
- I used to read daily but now I fall asleep every time I look at a book.
- My aunt Bonnie is one of my best friends.
- I have no money...but who cares??  I have plenty of love. Hehe.

What are you saying so what to today?

Hypnobabies

So i was respectfully chosen to be a doula for my best friend Katie in a couple weeks during the birthing process.  Her birth method is called Hypnobabies.  It's a form of natural childbirth where you put yourself in a state of hypnosis to block out any pressure waves (contractions) or discomfort (pain) you may be having.  I think if i had another baby...WHICH I'M NOT...i would definitely go this route.  Just to see if I could.  I really hope all goes as planned with Katie and she has the will power to stick with the program!  I'm supporting her 100% and almost done with the Hypnobabies book, so i'll know just as much as her about Hypnobabies!

So What Thursday!

So today I'm saying so what if:

- I window shop online by adding everything I want to a shopping cart and then close my browser.  Somehow it makes me feel better.
- I can't wait for the new season of Sons of Anarchy to start.  I <3 Jax!
- I want to quit my job and do crafts all day.  Hey, there's money in that shit!
- I haven't updated the music in my ipod for almost a year.
- I can eat a hot pocket every day for lunch.  Or Ramen noodles.  Mmmm..that's good shit

I'm broken

I jumped out of the shower this morning in a rush to hurry and get the kids ready since Kyle had to leave early for work.  I ran down the stairs with a towel wrapped around me and tripped off the last step and right into the open bedroom door.  I hobbled to the bed and felt like I couldn't breathe.  My toes hurt so bad.  I tried to bend them a couple times and stood up, got dressed, and tried to forget about the pain.  Couldn't do it.  My toe is broken.  It turned black and blue within about 10 minutes.  This is the third friggin time I've broken that toe.  Not a good time.  So no treadmill for me today!

On a lighter note...Jersey Shore is on tonight!  Woot woot!

Planning for a trip

So I'm taking Bobby to Legoland in Chicago on a train.  He's never been on a train before and he's super excited.  It's becoming a huge headache.  I planned on taking him on Monday since he's out of school for President's Day.  Well now I can't because Kyle (hubs) wants to take Aleena too.  I thought it would be just me and Bobby, but I'm totally cool with taking them with us.  Only now we can't go til the end of March because he can't take off work on Monday and I have to wait til Katie's baby is born since I'm the designated doula!!  She's due March 6th and I'm not buying train tickets and tickets to Legoland and then risking not being able to go.  Ugh.  Planning sucks.  So as of now, the trip is scheduled for the 21st of March.  We'll see how that goes!!

{ Tired }

So after a long weekend of partying like I did when I was 21, I'm way too exhausted to think today.  I'm very disappointed in the Grammys last night, so I won't speak on that.  Katie's baby shower was a success yesterday.  Lots of people showed and the games were a hit.  We poured beer in baby bottles and had the guys (and girls) see who could drink the whole bottle first.  It was really funny.  Now I'm getting ready to go to Bobby's school to make Valentine's Day crafts with his class.  Then Laila's party is at 3pm today in the daycare.  Going to dinner tonight with hubs, Katie and her husband.  Then home to sleep...i need it!

Happy Valentine's Day!

So What Thursday!

I'm totally stealing this idea from another blogger (thanks, Mama Dew!)

This week I'm saying SO WHAT if...

- I watch Jersey Shore religiously.  I always feel a little dumber when it's over, but there's something about those 8 guidos (and guidettes) that keep me coming back every week!
- I'm too lazy to exercise.  I try to motivate myself but it never works.  Every once in a while I do some push-ups on my bedroom floor or some sit-ups or squats while watching TV. 
- I can eat 5,000 calories a day and not gain a pound.  It's a problem, people!  How do you think I feel when someone tells me I make them sick because of how skinny I am??
- I like to watch scary movies alone in the dark.  Hubs hates them, so I usually go in my bedroom and watch them solo.  And yes, I hide my face under a pillow during all the scary moments.
- I only download apps that are free.  I have tons of apps on my ipod and my ipad and I think I only paid for one.  And it's a Dora the Explorer app for Laila.

What are you saying SO WHAT about today?

All about me

I stole some interesting questions from another blog so if anyone out there will ever read my blog, they can know a little more about me...so here goes nothing.

Name someone with the same birthday as you.My childhood dentist is the only one i know!

Dance floor at Raymond Park Middle School with a guy named Shane.

Yes.  My ex had an old school Riviera with one of those bubble windows in the back...smashed that car to smitherines.  I kinda feel bad for it, but not really.

Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?Yep.  Fucker was talkin shit about my husband when he wasn't around.  So I clocked him a couple times in the nose.  Bet he won't do that again.

Teeth and tattoos

Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?Yep.  Airbag broke my wrist in a car accident about 7 years ago.


Okay...so those were not your every day "get to know someone" questions.  Now you know me.

Oh Baby!!

So I've been as busy as a bee planning my BFF's baby sprinkle for this sunday.  I've just about gotten everything done now.  I have to go tomorrow evening and get the rest of the supplies we need for games and prizes.  The weather is supposed to be nearly 50 degrees on sunday, too, so no excuses for not showing up!  It's a coed party, so I hope everyone enjoys the games I have planned and doesn't think they're too "girly" or "lame".

Our snow...thing

It started out as a dragon.  But everyone who saw it said it looked like something different.  I heard it called a caterpillar, a worm, the Beetlejuice worm, a sperm, and a dragon.  Whatever it is, it got some attention! The food coloring started sinking into the snow after a few hours, so it didn't stay this bright very long.

Go Pack Go!!

My team will always be the Indianapolis Colts, but I LOVE Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings and the rest of the Packers.  I'm so happy for their victory yesterday.  And everyone that doubted them...ha!  I  had Silva winning the UFC fight on Saturday and the Packers yesterday, so I made a few bucks this weekend ;)

On another note, Laila was extra lovable this morning.  She must have had a bad dream because she climbed into my bed around 2:30am and hugged me like she hadn't seen me in ages.  Then she fell asleep and kicked the shit out of my rib cages for the next 4 hours.  That's my girl!

TGIF

Yes.  Thank God it's Friday.  Today has been the longest day ever and I'm exhausted.  Nothing planned for the weekend yet.  My only photo shoot that was scheduled for the weekend (oh yeah...did i tell you I'm a photographer?) was cancelled.  Looks like we'll have to find something fun to do with the kids.  Aleena is coming over tonight.  I just love three crazy ass kids up my butt all weekend.  And I just love not being able to sleep in past 8am on a Saturday morning.  Oh the joys of motherhood.  Have a great weekend!

Green Light

On the way to drop the kids off this morning, we're sitting at a stop light and I wasn't paying attention until Laila says "GREEN LIGHT!"  So I look up and get going.  Then Bobby says "Mom...did you hear that?  She just said green light.  For real.  In English!"

Umm..yeah.  She's 2...she talks.  In English.  What other language did you expect it in?  He thinks so highly of her that he thinks she's bilingual too, i guess! 

When Will It Ever End?!?

It's official.  I'm tired of this weather.  But hey, Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow today!  Woot woot!  That means early spring.  I can't wait to get back into my hoochie clothes!  Short shorts, tank tops and flip flops. Mmmmm...the sweet aroma of fresh cut grass and bonfires.

And just one more excuse for a party!  Cornhole tourney at my house! First night over 60 degrees.  Can't wait.

But for now, i need a cigarette and some ice cream.  Ice cream sounds really good right now...but since no one decided to get on the icy roads this morning (except for me), nothing is open that sells it around here :(  Oh well, i can be happy with just a cig for the time being.

Holy ice monkeys!!!!

Uuuugggghhhh!!!  So they're calling this ice storm we got this morning the worst in over a decade.  True, there was about an inch of ice all over my car that took an hour to get off.  But i made it to work.  And there's only 4 people in my office.  Come on.  Really?!?  You can't come to work because you're too lazy to clean the ice off your car!  The roads were fine!

And now the crappiest part of the storm is supposed to start around 1pm today.  The daycare is closing at 1pm, so i have to pick Satan up early.  Bobby's school was cancelled last night.  He goes to a public school.  You know it's bad when IPS cancels school!

So I'm gonna sit at my desk on my ipad and play games til it's time to leave...cause there's no one here to tell me I can't.
