Monday Blues

Happy Monday!


So this morning wasn't all that bad.. atleast it didn't start out that bad. 
 I woke up at my usual 5am hour, with a strange burst of energy,  in which I used to steam clean my carpet  at 5:30am.. (i have ocd, especially when it comes to cleaning) I did a load of laundry and wiped down my already clean counters. 


So anyways, I started for work, and had my coffee in a cup that I had no business bringing into the car.  I used a regular over sized coffee mug in place of a travel mug this morning. Which resulted in the whole cup of coffee completely spilling out, into my cup holder as I turned onto the 528 ramp.  I watched the whole thing go down, and couldn't help it, since I was driving, talking on the phone and smoking a ciggarette all at the same time..  It was strange, because i watched my cup holder fill up with my coffee, and then it slowly disappeared...  WONDERFUL... just WONDERFUL!
So thats how my day started...


On a brighter note, I had a very nice weekend, Friday night we had Family Movie Night..  in Mommys bed.. the kids always enjoy that. We had popcorn and watched A Night at the Smithsonian..  It was pretty good, from what I saw, since we all fall asleep not even half way through...

On Saturday morning I woke up to this:

Bacon on the mouth...Nasty.. i know.. but this is what happens when Daddy supervises!

So Jackson cooked breakfast for us girls..  eggs, bacon and egg shells.. yummy... 

On Sunday, Jack, Jackson and I went to Seaworld (we didn't leave Sophia home alone, she was with her dad)

We had a very nice time.  There was no sign of death  in the park, since a trainer was just killed a few days ago (thank god...not to the girl dying but to no sign of death..) 

 However, I did make a decision to boycot the Shamu show, because I feel like these friendly little whales aren't called "killer" for nothing.  I think they belong in the ocean, not cooped up in a tank dancing around for Seaworld guests.. drowning trainers and stuff.. So i've made the educated decicision to boycot!  First time i've ever boycotted something, and I feel productive!

 

I also watched a fun new show Sunday night, The Marriage Ref.. which stars a panel of celebrity judges, who take the side of either a husband or wife in an issue the couple is having.. for instance, last night a womans husband was wanting to stuff his dog after he died (wierd and gross) but the wife hated the idea. 

The panel of judges had to decide whether to take the husband or wifes side in this matter (they chose the wifes side, thank god) So the husband was ruled out and didn't get to put his stuffed dog, in the newly built shrine he made for his deceased pup!  It was hilarious!

 This show will now have my attention at 10:30 on Sunday nights, or atleast my dvr's attention! 

Anyways, it was a nice family weekend.. and Monday always arrives way too soon!

Wolverine ate my kids!

So, I know i've been away for awhile, but i've had alot going on.  I will give a brief update on what's been consuming my time, but only only a brief description, as Real Housewife of Orange County has taken over my life and is about to start in 15 minutes.

So I had an amazing Engagement party which was given by my wonderful mother... Thanks to our wonderful friends who came to show some love... and to those who were unable to attend..... You were missed!

Onto other events,

I recently got my drivers license renewed and almost fainted for more than one reason.

 First of all, I had to make two trips back to my house due to the fact that you must now bring your house with you to show proof of residence (or maybe I was just alittle scatter brained that day and didn't mark off the checklist of items to bring)  and second, it cost $67.oo to renew.. (ok, yes, I was overdue.. but don't you get a month grace period?  Not a chance)  So be prepared when its time to renew.

Jackson, my sweet Jackson, has reverted back to calling me Mama... but not in a coo coo goo goo kind of way. More like in a southern cute kind of way.. and im really enjoying it!

I've had to listen to Sophias 3 Cheerleading songs over and over again a million times in the past two weeks, that I now hear them in my dreams.. *thank you my darling daughter.

I was recently yelled at by a Lynx bus driver, because "I was stopped past the line"...  which,  whatever, learn how to maneuver your bus buddy!


Jack has learned how to play the drums and started a band with little people!

.

Jackson has a solo part

My kids have turned Gangster on me as of lately and alittle bit Country.

(Sippin on Gin and Juicy Juice.. thats how he rolls!)

And My dog has moved in on my man!

OH and Wolverine broke into my house, and ate my kids.....

Ta Ta for now!   (my son looks alittle fruity, but he's definately all boy)

On the road again.....

  You know your old when:
your child says something or asks you a question and you respond by making a song of it.

I need you today.

Always with you..


Behold, I am with you
and will keep you
wherever I go.


Genesis 28:15

Bedtime stories with Sophia

So Sophia reads a bedtime story to me tonight, but fails to tell me that she's learned a few new things.

Story begins:

"Our Tree House by Mercer Mayer"
(you know,the little critter guy)
repeat.
repeat.
"Mercer Mayer is the author Mommy"
*What I gather is, she's learning how to recognize title/author/illustrator.
So She starts reading and nearly frightens me with this strange voice she's using. However, I dont say anything. I just giggle to myself and continue to listen.
So she's reading,
and I hear hear, Sluuuuuuurp. Like she's sucking up her spit. But again, im all ears, and I look away, laugh at the wall and continue listening.
It was pretty entertaining watching her because she's straining her face, talking really loud in these very expressive type of voices.
*What I gather here is that; they are learning how to use expressions while reading.
So in between a few pages, she has to stop to put her two senses in.. this is very typical of Sophia.
"thats so nice that Gabby (sluuuuurp) was helping his dad bake cookies, (sluuuuurp) but it's like really sad that Gabby can't play with Litte critter" (her new favorite word: Like. I hate it)
So this is where I finally ask, because I can't handle the weird sluuuuurping noise any longer


"Sophia, what is that crazy sluuurping noise your making"
she looks puzzled, and asks what im talking about.
"that strange noise your making when your reading"
"thats my expressions.. im just reading the book with sound effects and expressions."
I tell her how cool that is, and proud of her I am, and i continue to listen.
(by the way, the sluuurping noise was very unrelated to the story. It was just a chosen sound I guess)
Alllllllllllll the way till the end.
the very end.
last page end.
back of the book end. (she tries to stretch bedtime out for as long as she can)

The End.

I tripped and fell over wednesdays hump

Woke up this morning and here's how it all went down:

• uninvited Jackson in my bed. (my 3yr old dollface)


• my shirt soiled in jacksons urine (peed the bed)


• my iron puked all over my uniform when i was ironing with wierd water spots filled with black stuff


• Jackson gets soap (tearfREE soap) in his eyes when washing him up.. cries like I just told him hotwheels stopped making cars.


• Marleys tail (stupid tail) knocks over my coffee cup from the coffee table, spills all over table and onto the carpet.


• I step in a puddle of marleys piss, and look over at a pile of her poop.


• Jackson refuses to wear the clothes i picked out for him. (such a pain)


• I trip and fall over Marley cause she isnt trained to walk beside me..(she actually enjoys trying to trip me)


• I can't find my cell phone, as im already running behind.. it won't ring because come to find out, its dead.


• Now im running late, and in a hurry to get to work.

Conclusion: Anyone want a dog?

I don't wish this morning on anyone that i know! Hope your morning was better than mine.

Preoccupied

The best is when your on the phone, and your not paying much attention, which causes you to respond like this:

• Ok well just call me tomorrow!


• me: ok yes, thank you
  
• Did you get to watch the dog whisperer show i've been telling you about?


• me: no problem. sounds good.

If i've done this to you... i'm sorry! I will try and pay more attention next time!
