About Me

My photo
Well, lets start with the important stuff...Im the wife to a really hot guy! Im Blessed with three great kids, Hope is almost 18, Morgan just turned 6 and the true love of my life my son Tommy who is 5. We recently moved from the Flint area, yea I know what your thinking so let me finish, we Moved to the country away from the crime and grime. We bought a more beautiful home then we deserve on five acres. life is good. I work full time as a commercial Banker, my husband Tom owns his own business doing Home theaters and security. His business is BOOMING! I was born and raised in Flint and moved to Arizona in 1996. I stayed about ten years and had the desire to move back. So I packed up a Hundai Elantra a 9 year old girl, a yorkie, two turtles and a car load of gear and moved back to Flint. We stayed with my girl Michelle for a bit until I got settled with a job and new place. Then I started stalking my husband to be and it has been blissful ever since.

momsomnia

I heard a new word today,  Momsomnia. Apparently this is a disorder that causes mothers to not be able to sleep. um  is that for real? I think your doing this parenting this wrong!   Im not familiar with this "disorder"  have you read my previous blog the day in the life of Rock Star mom?
I certainly hope these momsomniacs are making good  use of their time like cleaning, plucking their eye brows or reading my blog! There was this women that was talking about the momsomnia started when her baby was small and she was afraid that she would not hear her baby cry...does that really happen? I know when my babies cried the neighbors could have heard them! The moms say they lay in bed and worry about the next day, seriously??  OK let me break it down for you, your baby is gonna need your attention, your husband is going to need your attention, the house is going to need your attention. And it 's  gonna be CRAZY just like yesterday, there now you can stop worrying and sleep. Im a genius Ive cured Momsomnia! 
    Momsomnia   Please Im drooling before my head even hits the pillow from my day of being a mom. By the time I get home and can actually go to bed after the cleaning the laundry the baths the picking out clothes for the kids and myself and packing lunches and making sure back packs are ready and making sure every one has a little of my time. IM DONE no problem sleeping on my end! Its the waking up part that is my Nemesis. anyway I guess everyone has their disorders Lord knows I have mine.   Here is some advise from one mom to another if you are a sufferer from this Momsomnia you email me and Ill give you my address and when you can't sleep come on over and  do some house work that Im too tired to do.
Im done TTFN

Ohh and lets talk about the  movies ! The best Movies were from the 80's.   Lost Boys the Best Movie EVER...license to Drive, Dream a little Dream...."can you tell I was quiet the Corey Haim fan" Pretty in Pink, the Breakfast Club, St Elmos Fire, Cherry 2000, A fish called Wanda, Nightmare on Elms street,Aliens, April Fools day " I still have this one VHS." Back to the Future, Caddy Shack, Childs Play, Cocktail, The Dead Zone , Desperately seeking Susan " I still have this one too."  Dirty Dancing, Earth Girls are easy LOVEed that one hahah..foot loose , ghost busters, Gremlins, Heathers another of my favorites love me some Christian Slater , the last unicorn hmm I gotta get this one for the kids, Mommie Dearest...no more wire hangers, Over board , poltergeist, Porke'ys, PURPLE RAIN," have this one on VHS and DVD".  Robo Cop , Scar face, Some kind of Wonderful...I watched this one with Michelle like 100 times , Soul man , stand by me, The Terminator " great movie" , Top Gun, Twins hah just watched this one recently still hilarious , Uncle buck , when Harry met sally aah what a classic and the last in the alphabet list Xanadu. My daughter Hope is one of the teenagers with an 80's buff mom and I never grew out of it so she knows the songs and movies, we were in the van jammin tonight to some 80's music. Hope is pretty Cool I guess, well not as cool as me but maybe she will grow into it. Being in jr high and in high school in the 80's was as good as it could be.  I had my group of friends and  we thought we were Normal and cool. We certainly dressed the part with our , florescent shirts,  leg warmers, multi pair of sock , acid wash, ooh the jeans the zippers at the bottoms the flaps at the top  the k-swiss the converse the 3-D Nikes, my silver penny loafers the big jewelry I never grew out of.  I wore like 12 watches and on that note the swatch watches ooh I had the clear one, I saved my money for like months!..Karen and I used to wear our sweatshirts inside out and backwards man we were cool! Oh and the hair I remember my mom perming  mine  with spiral perms. ooh the Big hair I had. Maybe that is why I wear it so short now to make up for the ozone layer I helped deplete with my aqua net hair spray in the big economy size aerosol can. My dad called may hair the great wall of china it was so high. I loved blow drying the sides out with my pick and my hair spray to get just the right "wing effect"
oh how I love the 80's even now, going to see 80's cover bands like Rock star and voodoo honey and going to the 80's fest in April in Frankenmuth we just still cant get enough.

ThE HaIR

Sometimes being a chic is so complicated GEEEZE, the hair you do want the hair you dont want lets get it together ladies I have ta shave my legs my arm pits heck even the tops of my toes when I had really short hair the hair on the back of my neck, beauty marks , chin, upper lip, treasure trail, uni brow  and where ever else a stray pops up pluck it shave it wax it trim it groom it  really this is crap ! oh ...... and the waxing please I had a bikini wax done when I was in my 20's cause some stupid chic told me it didnt hurt LIAR! So in my 30's I was told about the Brazilian wax "I know I dont learn" so I went and had that done. Now ladies do not attempt this one at home !  Go to a professional and it is really great I promise! I loved it but Im too cheap to pay the $40 every few months so well you guessed it Im all hairy again in that region oh well. Ok so moving on,  there is the nose hair that you get when your in your late 30's that you have to steal your husbands trimmer to tame!  and how is it that my hair brush  and shower are always full of hair but it is never the pesky gray ones that I have to make my teenager pluck with the tweezers in between coloring.....how come they can't  play well with the other hair noooo they have to stand up and be all kinky and crazy* and how the heck do they get soo long over night ? really all of a sudden there is the longest hair on my head and its shiny silver did that thing grow like 3 inches in one day? so back to the head hair, Ive worn mine short for a long while and I mean SHORT and I got a bug up my butt to let it grow,  so Ive not cut it since like May and it is a HOT FREAKIN MESS!!! I swear I'm   gonna start chopping at it myself ...and just FYI cutting hair is not one of those many things Im good at. I had to go get the picture of how I want it to  look from my FB just so I remember what Im working toward.
so lets review wanted hair on head and a limited supply on the nethers
not wanted hair... legs, arm , nose holes, toes, moles between eye brows, upper lip, knuckles chin, treasure trail and and aureoles I forgot that one above did I miss anything? 
My good friend Karen once said "I hear by declare leg stubble and chipped toe nail polish sexy" she may be right about the stubble this is getting to be too much!
* Im all for being kinky and crazy but there is a time and place for every thing ya know? like too much clevage at church oh I know all about this one,  and no standing on end in my hair when the others are playing nice together.
done TTFN

sick days

I dont know what I expect from sick days maybe some Martha Stewart crafts some good quality home time with the kids or maybe some quiet time. um no none of the above, instead we get to fight over what Disney movies to watch, yelling about me wanting to wash the favorite blanket that smells like sweat pee and puke, and just a house of cranky babies! I got about a zillion loads of wash done... didnt I just freakin do laundry??? what the heck? the kids took a little nap and woke up even fussier if that was possible UGG.... The house is lick-able cause I have ADD, OCD and WTF....so now Hope is home and making the house even more chaotic so Ive moved from coffee to wine and Im here blogging while chicken parm is in the oven, now mind you Im still on the maintenance phase of the HCG so I cannot put a yummy bread crumb coating on the chicken, I had to make my own sauce and I cannot have the pasta or the yummy cheeesy garlic bread I made with some old stale hoagie buns cause that how I roll!!! ok im done TTFN

ooh this is gonna be fun

This is the disclosure to all my friends,
Jaynie, Karen , Trina, Michelle, Dennell, Becca, V, Kathy, Bre, Erika ,  Cassie, my sister Becky, Chrystal and who ever else I offend on a regular basis,  you will have to give me some grace.  You all know Im not always so tactful or nice when I have something to say but I will keep this as tame as I can. and know I love you but this is about saying it how I view it not necessarily what really happened.
