Another Reason Not to Vote McCain

If I can find the commercial, I will post it.  Apparently McCain’s best defense is calling his opponent Britney Spears!  (and calling himself Paris Hilton makes him sound good?)
 
Barack Obama just another Britney Spears or Paris Hilton?
Not John McCain’s best shot, says the Democrat’s camp after the Republican likened him to the two celebrities in [...]

Dangit, Go to Bed!

I’m very tired.  Very VERY tired.  Ace outright refuses to go bed anymore.  He kicks, screams, pounds on the door and eventually breaks out of his room.  Last night we started the bedtime process at 9 (we’re working our way back to 8 o’clock bedtime)  Sometime around 10, I went downstairs and told him he [...]

Serving sizes = Starvation

Yesterday I began paying attention to serving sizes and eating just that amount and tracking my caloric intake.  I feel like I’m starving to death!  It’s INSANE how tiny a serving of cereal is.  That cereal needed to get me to 1:00 pm when i was done with work today, but by 11 my stomach was [...]

The Anti-Fat

Being that I now have a free gym membership (courtesy of awesome new job at hospital) I no longer have an excuse not to work out.  Before it was always too hot to take a walk, too cold to take a walk, Ace was sleeping so I couldn’t ride my stationary bike because it’s too [...]

The Morons We Meet

I have felt like crap most of the day.  My stomach hurts, sharp pains and an achy feeling in my back.  I’m tired and disoriented and crabby.  But I had to run to the store to get Ace’s medicine . . . you’re still mom even when you feel like poo.
The closest store to my house [...]

Fun Yet Exausting Weekend

Friday afternoon Mark, Ace, Patriot and I headed down to my brother and sis-in-law’s house for the weekend.  They live a short hour and half away in a slightly (laughing sarcastically) larger city than we do.
Ace fell asleep in the car as planned and woke up about ten minutes before we reached our fianal destination.  [...]

Aunt Flo Not Welcome Here!

I was due to get my period next week Monday, so naturally visions of BFPs were dancing in my head.  Of course i not only got my period, but I got it four days early.  I always get severely fatigued the first day or two, which is just flippin peachy because we’re heading out of [...]

Cry Me a Freakin River

Yes, i admit, I read People magazine online.  I’m not a star chaser, I don’t live to star gaze or watch all those E “news” shows.  But I do occasionally read People online.  And every once in awhile a story gives me a good laugh and some blogger fuel.  Exibit A:
Khloe Kardashian Recounts Hours in [...]

It’s Shabby Alright

As I may have mentioned earlier, I am addicted to HGTV’s Rate My Space.  I like checking out other people’s rooms and rating them.  But I am SO SICK of this shabby chic crap!  It’s too floral!  I hate floral, distressed, and cluttered.  I cannot understand why everyone on RMS rates these shabby rooms so [...]

Spa Night-DIY Style

Saturday night was Girls Only Spa Night at my house.  The boys went to Amber’s to play, and we relaxed to a little George Carlin while we spa-ed it up!
