I have no excuse

2009-11-19T10:27:00.002-06:00

I have no excuse not to blog more often anymore. I am unemployed and have been since the end of September. Well, I take that back, I'm too busy wallowing in my own self pity to blog. Nah, not really. I've surprised myself with how well I am handling being unemployed. Of course, it would help if certain baby daddys would pay child support, but since one of them hasn't paid in 2 and 1/2 years

Well, I haven't done this in awhile

2009-09-22T11:54:00.002-06:00

Blogged, that is. I just haven't had time for it. Besides, I'm all addicted to Crackbook, uh, I mean Facebook. It has been 4 months or so since I last posted. I'm thinking about changing that. Blogging more often. I used to really love it and I just got so busy in life and so many things were going on, that blogging was put on the back burner. Waaaaaay in the back.So, how about we catch up

So what if I only post once every 6-8 weeks

2009-05-20T13:30:00.003-06:00

Acertain someone asked me today when I was gonna blog again. Truthfully? I haven't thought too much about it lately. I still read for the most part, but rarely comment. I don't know, I guess I've just gotten so much out of the habit that it's hard to start again. But, just to pacify Steve, I'll do a "quickie". Again, that's for Steve.So, last time I blogged, I had met someone knew and we were

Ok, so it's been awhile

2009-04-08T11:48:00.002-06:00

I just don't have time to blog anymore, maybe here and there I will, but nothing anywhere near regular. I guess I should have followed up a little sooner on my previous blog.So, here goes...The guy I met is just a friend. He was a little too flaky for me and it didn't take me too long to figure out that I wasn't interested.Really no big deal to me, I have been enjoying being single! I've been

I hate coming up with titles!!

2009-02-10T11:42:00.003-06:00

Clearly I have been too busy to blog. Busy doing what, I have no damn idea. Ok, I've become addicted to that timesuck known as F@cebook. A-ddic-ted! So, how about some bullets? Everyone loves bullets, right? No? Oh well, suck it up! I've been hanging out with friends.I went to a kickass Superbowl par-tay and played Rock Band until 2am. BTW I really really suck at it and I was only playing the

Assvice

2009-01-14T11:37:00.003-06:00

I know that most of the people that read this blog are moms. That one guy that reads? Yeah, he's not so much a mom. Or a dad for that matter. I hear he likes boobs though.I know that I, as a mom, hate getting assvice about how to raise my kids or what they are doing or what they should be doing and all that shit. HATE it. And, I know that most moms feel the same way. But, still, we get it.

OMG, 2 posts in one week!!!

I got this as an email from a co-worker. It is hilarious and sad all at the same time. Enjoy!It's time again for the annual "Stella Awards." For those unfamiliar withthese awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexicowhere she purchased the coffee.You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and

So apparently, today is Delurking Day in the blogosphere. Who knew? Well, not me since I don't blog like I used to. I am trying to get back to regular blogging. I know I've lost some readers what with the whole, I'm blogging, I'm not blogging, I'm private, I'm not private crap. But, rest assured, that shit is done with. I am blogging. I am not private. And I know you are so excited you

Catch-up

2009-01-09T10:54:00.016-06:00

It's been a busy few months for me. Very busy! And, so, I give you pictures to catch you up. Yes, I am taking the easy way out, but, trust me, if I try to put it all into a post, it would take you a day to read and me more than that to write it!So there was HalloweenAlyssa was a panda bear, Kaylie was Gabriella from HSM and that's my cousin in the background.There was Kaylie's 8th birthday!

Goodbye 2008! Hello 2009!!

2008-12-31T12:30:00.002-06:00

It's the end of another year. It seems like they just fly past the older you get. 2008 was not what I expected it to be this time last year, but, I think it has turned out to be just what I needed. There have been up and downs this year, that's for sure. But, I am really excited to begin 2009 and I think life is going to have some wonderful things for me in the coming year!I guess at the end

Really, I'm gonna try to do this more!

Ok, so I'm sure that some of you noticed that I never continued with my story. Well, it's long and drawn out and a conclusion has come of it, so at this point, I see no reason to try to put it all into words.Long story short, we were not gonna work things out, then it was "whatever happens, happens". Some other things happened that really caused me to reevaluate everything. And even though, I

Who let the dogs out?

2008-12-03T09:01:00.004-06:00

I didn't realize how long it had been since I last posted! I've decided to curtail my story for the time being (look at me using big words!) to concentrate on more upbeat things. I don't want to give you all the impression that I am sitting around wallowing in my own self pity. That's far from the truth.So, let's see. You'd like to hear a story about my Thanksgiving, no? Ok, you've twisted

He is my husband after all. So, I didn't confront him. I did, however, confide in my best friend about what I had found out. I had so many feelings about everything. I was so confused and like I

2008-11-05T12:40:00.003-06:00

I've not been doing too many, if any, personal posts lately. I've had so many posts going inside my head and so many feelings, etc, it's hard to put it all into words. But, writing and journaling is good for me, so I am just gonna put it all out there. This is a very long story so I will do it in at least two parts.Some of you know that about 4 months ago, my husband cheated on me. I was

As I am sure many of you did, I spent last night watching CNN. Watching the results pour in. It was surreal. I will tell you; I voted for Barack Obama. Even though I was quite sure that he would be elected, seeing the states reporting votes just made me realize that it was happening. We, as Americans, made history last night. You may not have voted for Barack Obama and that's ok with me. That's a

I know it's probably cliche' to do an election post today, but I don't care. I've voted in every presidential election and almost all state and local election since I registered at 18 years old. I've always been very proud to be a registered voter and no matter what some people may say, my vote makes a difference.This election in particular is so exciting. In just a few hours, we will have

It's hard to find time to update my blog here lately! I've been really busy at work, so it's hard to try to put together coherent thoughts while the phone is ringing and the boss is asking for this or for that.So, this past weekend was super busy, but filled with fun! Friday night was dinner and drinks with the family and then off to Fox and Hound for pool and more drinks with friends! We had

I've had some serious blogger's block lately. Or, maybe it's just that nothing exciting is really going on right now in my life. Just regular everyday things. Kaylie had her 8th birthday party last weekend. High School Musical, of course. She is also going to be Gabriella from High School Musical for Halloween. Alyssa is going to be a panda bear this year. Hopefully, I will remember to

Regrets

2008-10-13T09:09:00.003-06:00

I've spent alot of time lately looking back at my life. Thinking about things that have happened and decisions that I've made. For the most part, I have no regrets. There are some things I do regret, however.I regret my senior year of high school. I had fun, don't get me wrong. But, I concentrated too much on having fun and not enough on school. I got horrible grades and ended up having to

And, considering the state of our economy, most notably, the stock market, we all need a laugh.I work in the financial industry so the last month has been extremely stressful and hectic.

Why is it that you can care about someone so much that you can look past all of their faults, all of their wrongs, all of their empty promises and still love them? Still be taken in by them? Still see that person that you know deep down they really are? And, at the same time, be so angry with them? Be so deeply hurt by them, that you don't know if forgiving is even an option, much less

My and my best friend have birthdays 4 days apart. We have always celebrated together, whether it be goin out and having drinks and goin dancin or just hangin out at the house. This year was no exception. We opted to just hang out at her house. It was me and Crystal, her fiance (he's now her husband!), his brother and a couple of other friends.We had a blast! We cooked some dinner. I

the last time I did a post was on September 11th. But the last time I did a blog post was back in July.I guess it's been awhile. I'm not sure what all has happened since then, but I will at least try to give the highlights.I moved into my new house with my girls. It's great, I love it, they love it, the fish love it.Kaylie started 2nd grade shortly after we moved in. She's back at the school

2008-09-11T09:09:00.002-06:00

Even though I am on a blogging hiatus and not really sure if I plan to return, I cannot let this day go by without some sort of tribute.We all remember where we were when 9/11 happened. We will never forget that day. But, on my way to work this morning, I began to wonder a few things. Have we become complacent again? I know that 9/11 is not at the front of everyone's mind each and every day

SO MAD!!

Please go read this story first.I am absolutely outraged that the justice system in the city I live in would allow a murderer to get out of jail on bond! This man (and I use that term VERY loosely) was already charged with killing another human being. He should have been behind bars. I don't care how overcrowded the jails are. Perhaps our mayor should be more concerned with the crime in this

I cannot wait to see where my life goes from here, but I know this much, I am gonna enjoy every minute of it. I will no longer allow anyone to bring me down or make me feel like I am not good enough! Mark my words on that one!This is my life, my story and I get to write it.Oh, and I

For those of you that read this post, a little update. My latest pap came back NORMAL. I have now had all but one since my cold knife cone come back normal. I go back in June, which will be considered my annual visit, and if that one comes back normal, I won't have to come back for another year. This is great news for someone that has gone for a pap too many times to count in the last 2 years

Last week Kaylie had to go to the dentist to have a very small cavity filled. This is the first one and, hopefully, the last one she will have. I was unsure of what to tell her about what they were going to do. It struggled with letting her know they may give her a shot in her mouth or not telling her to keep her from getting real anxious about it. If I tell her she will get upset and nervous

I was a little freaked out by it, but I knew people that had them come back this way and it was nothing so I wasn't too bothered. At the time, I had no health insurance so I

Last night he was at our old house, cleaning some things and packing more stuff, blah blah blah. He got home and saw the girls for a

But, on the other hand, I love my husband much, much, much more than blogging and I'm very happy to say, that Chris and I have decided that we are going to work things out and we are offically

But, finally, I am doing it.Alyssa's 1st birthday was on Sunday, January 7th. Let's go back to one year ago.Early morning December 31st (around 5ish I think) I woke up having contractions.

I hope that everyone had a good New Years. Mine was quiet, I had my babies and stayed home with them. They did stay up until around 11 or so and had a good time playing.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas. My girls did. I loved watching Alyssa open her presents and, of course, she loved the paper more than anything. At my aunt's house on Christmas Eve, Alyssa opened her first present and that's all she wanted, she could have cared less about continuing. She just wanted to play with that first toy. I ended up opening more of her presents than she did, but

Alyssa is pulling up on everything she can get her little hands on, which is fine except when its the entertainment center.

It's great watching her grow up and accomplish things that she really is trying hard to do them! But it's also sad, because she's becoming

Luckily, my aunt has one she is not using, so I plan to pick that up this

I really don't think I'm weird, but I will try.Here are the rules - Each player of this game starts with the "6 Weird Things about You." People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

My poor little Alyssa is sick and was sick ALL weekend. She's been trying to get over a cold for a couple of weeks, but it was just a stuffy/runny nose (how you can have both has always made me wonder) and some slight coughing and sneezing. She started to get better and then, perhaps because our weather has so crazy, but now it has moved into her chest. She is so congested and feels so bad.

Alyssa ate up sweet potatoes like it was nobody's business. She loved them!I also moved the Friday after Thanksgiving. While bunches and bunches of people were crowding the stores buying Christmas presents, I was moving into

But I do realize that although things right now are not good for me, I do have many things that I am thankful that I do have.1. I'm thankful for all of my friends. Each and every one of them. Each in different ways, but all equally. Especially, Crystal

I don't really have much to blog about these days. Tonight I went to Kaylie's open house at school. She was sooooo excited to be able to show me around her school and her classroom and everything. She had been talking about it all week. I had a good time. I also asked her teacher to call me so that I can explain our new situation to her so that she can let me know if she sees Kaylie changing

That kinda surprised me, because, although my credit is not A-1, it's not horrible. Anyway, the apartment that I ended up with is bigger and nicer anyway.
