happy puffy me!

I think I would be happy if I were morbidly obese. Weird thing to say, right? But here is my logic...imagine eating anything you want, as much as you want, and drinking as much alcohol as you want. Now that would be bliss!! I love love love food and I really enjoy eating ALOT. If I could, I would eat all day.

Ok, I know the health problems would be a serious downside. Ok, wouldn't it be great to be able to eat like a glutton and not gain any weight?!!...I have a feeling that everyone in the world has these thoughts, right? ahahaha.


I probably shouldn't blog when I'm hungry....

Inspiration and yodelay yodeloo

aaah it's been well over a month since I've blogged. Really I don't have very much going on in my life! Well maybe I do, but nothing that ever stands out as earth shattering! Kristine inspires me to write though. Seriously her blogs are so well written and she includes pictures. I pretty much treat Facebook like my blog.

Let's see what's new...? I got an IUD! HAHAHAHA too much information??? yeah yeah I know but it's on my mind because it HURT LIKE A SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it will be worth it (or so I'm told).

The weather has been fantastic! Carly and I have been living in the pool. She's my water baby. Ethan is terrified. He screams like a girl as soon as he touches the water. It's too cold for him. I haven't tried bringing him in again since the pool has warmed up. Maybe now since it's above 80 degrees he'll man up. Seriously life has been so great since the weather has improved. We got a new stroller - it's handles so well, I swear it's a cadillac. My favourite part of it is the MP3 player!!!! Yes I can plug in my Ipod and it blasts out the tunes!!! So I've downloaded a bunch of kids songs and I'm determined to get the kids addicted to "The Lonely Goatherd".

Yes. They'll take after me!! Geeeeeks! hahahaha

I was just thinking the other day that it would have been so awesome if music downloads existed when I was a teenager. I found a really easy site to download songs for free and I think I spent two whole days doing nothing but! So, in addition to all of my kiddie songs I also have about 600 songs for momma! Rocker chick lives on! (and pop chick, oldies chick, easy listening chick...you get the idea).

Finally a bit of trivia...today is Corey Hart's birthday!!!

Sugar Daddy

I just had a genius idea!! You know how they have meals on wheels, pizza delivery, chinese food take-out...well, I'm sitting here on a Friday night, on the couch, in my comfies and I'm just wishing that I had a can of Root Beer and some ewy gooey chocolate cookies. Problem is, I'm too damn lazy to go anywhere.

So I'm thinking - junk food delivery! Call it Sugar Daddies! Why stop there? I've always thought that Blockbuster should deliver movies as well. Seriously, I think this would work. Hmm what else can be delivered to me?? I may never have to leave the house again!

I'm like a mushy banana...

I'm not 40 yet but I'm starting to feel the effects of aging.

I can't remember the last time I was able to stay up past 10:00 p.m. (and 10:00 is really pushing it) or when I was able to sleep in past 8:00 a.m.

My knees creak when I bend them, I'm not able to get up from a sitting position without making a groaning sound. Don't get me started on the farts! haha

Shopping has changed too. I look really out of place trying on clothes in those cute trendy stores like American Eagle and The Garage. I swear they make the clothes smaller, I used to be so proud that I was a size 4 but somehow those stores make me look like a lumpy sausage being squeezed through a ripped plastic casing. Can that be possible?!! No more La Senza sexy panties for me, now I get a multi pack of coton comfies at Zellers. Jammies are mismatched oversized t shirts and flannel bottoms or long johns.

The most heartbreaking of all......the clerks at the beer store don't even consider asking me for my ID anymore!!!!!!!

So I prefer not to call myself old. Just ripe!!

upon reflexion

Ok so I want to start over. It seems that I bitch about Carly way too much. I really should write about some good stuff. I honestly do love my little monkeys, and wouldn't trade them for the world.

My blog is turning into somewhat of a diary...I guess maybe that's the point but really who wants to read negativity?!!!

I vow to keep my blog entries light and fun, like I had initially intended

Have a happy, sunny weekend!!! If you see a huge pile of shit - don't fret, there must be a pony around there somewhere!

Return of The Jod-eye!

I'mmmm baaaack!!!! Either I had a blond moment, a senior moment, mom brain, or a combination of all of the above. I haven't updated my little blog in some time because I couldn't remember my username or password. All is good now and recorded somewhere safe. (as long as I never forget where that is!)

So I re-read my last post about Carly being alot better. I must have been high oh sugar when I wrote that. She is not better. She is WORSE!!! I don't know how I managed to create such a spoiled little girl. The temper tantrums, the clingyness, the screaming!! She isn't a bad kid, and she's cute and smart when she's playing. The problem is she cannot seem to play independently. Mommy has to be a part of everything. Even puzzles. She will lug around a puzzle all over the house until she finds me so that she can put it on my lap to do it. She's fine at playgroup and other people's houses. She has no problems with me leaving her with people...but as soon as I'm in the room MOMMA MOMMA MOMMA MOMMA!

I know what I'm supposed to do. I know I'm supposed to ignore her when she's having a tantrum. It would be alot easier if she didn't follow me around and if I didn't have another little monkey to pay attention to. And I know why she is so clingy...she's bored. But there is only so much I can do to keep her entertained.

Ok thank you for listening to me vent. I feel much better now. Really I do!

calm before the storm?

Hmmm well it's possible, dare I say, that we have gotten over rough times with Carly? Lately she's been very good. I should knock on wood shouldn't I? There seems to be less tantrums (if any) and she's much more independant. She still wants me around but isn't as demanding about it anymore. Nice!!

On the other hand - she seems to be having less afternoon naps. At least she has quiet time for at least an hour and then she gets up and plays very nicely. I still have a break and she has down time. I have to say that I'm really enjoying her alot more lately. She's alot of fun and completely adorable.

Knock on wood!!!!
