Just Blabbing

Here's a run down on my busy little day...

Went to the kids awards assembly...it's highly screwed up and disorganized now. Different grades overlap their times on when they are giving out the awards, instead of doing it like they used to in the gym. How in theeee heck am I supposed to see everyone get their awards if they are scheduled at the same time??! Just sayin'

Then I had my hair appointment to get my hair did. Let's just say my stylist cracks.me.up. She talks mad gab about people, and I love it. She's funny. She invited me and my hubby to a wine tasting bar with herself and her hubby and a whole group of other people. Had to decline though...number one I don't like wine, I've only tried 2 though and didn't like either. And secondly, no sitters. Come to find out that another one of her clients is the guy that did my butterfly fairy tat, and she is going to be getting hers done from him soon. Awesome.

Did half of my grocery shopping and then picked the kids up so we could meet up with hubby at his grandparents house for a visit. Love them. They crack me up too. Met other family members while there. My oldest Alyssa went for a walk while there with two other teen girls that were there. They had a blast while out. Guess they terrorized the neighborhood. It's an elderly community. Guess one of the girls pissed off one of the elderly residents by sitting on the block wall. The girls cracked up when describing how pissed off the woman was. They also smelled like a bunch of weeds when they got back. Weeds. Not weed. There would've been some huge problems if that were the case. Anystanky, guess they decided to pull some weeds along the way. What the hell, Alyssa would call that a terrible chore around our yard, but ship her out for a walk with some other girls her age and it turns into a fun sporting event of picking weeds and throwing them at each other. She needs to get her priorities straight!

Ate dinner at Chipotle on the way home. First time eating there. It was pretty good, but I thought it was a restaurant, and not a fast food type of restaurant. Healthy and good though. And then...at band camp..just kidding....we stopped at Cold Stone Creamery for some ice cream. Yum...but dumb. Cause we were already freezing our azzzez off, so the dang cold ice cream didn't help.

And that was my day. Hope you enjoyed it for whatever it was worth!

And on one last side note....I am going to participate in Shortmama's Spring Swap. If you would like to participate then visit her and link up and join in!

Dear Someone and A Tag

I'm going to start this with a tag that I received from Margaret. All you have to do is describe where you will be/hope to be in 10 years, and tag 10 people to play along.

Now this could potentially be a hard one for me, instead of the seemingly simplicity that it offers. I don't even know where I see myself in the latter part of a day half the time. Sooooo, on that note, maybe I'll list a few things that I wish to have accomplished by then. I'd like to be working as a nurse by then, my house should be paid off before then, I'd like to say that I took a cruise to the Bahamas by then, and maybe visited Atlantis, and maybe taken a trip to Bora Bora, that's if I can get my husband over the fact that it's a tiny spec of land in the middle of a vast ocean. Worth.It. I wanna party like a rock star, hit a bunch of...oh wait, no, I don't want to do that. Well, I guess I'll stop there, though I could go on and on. Soooooo...if any of my readers would like to do this tag, then tell us where you will be/hope to be in 10 years.

Now for a little bit of Dear Someone letters...

Dear Spring Break,

So looking forward to you and my time away from studying, cramming, cussing. Ok, so I'll still find other things to cuss at, but at least I won't feel pressed for time while doing it.

Dear Fellow Math Student,

I know you have some type of disability, and that ain't no thang to me. A few of the student's including myself find you quite entertaining when you get pissed at the instructor and the note taking process, and then you start to talk to your computer and call it a "stupid piece of shit". Highly.Entertaining.

Link up with Shortmama if you would like to do Dear Someone letters....but you'll have to wait a little bit, cause she's slackin' today and her post for the day isn't up yet!

Wordful Wednesday

Here is my pic (s) for this Wordful Wednesday...



Meet my son Jayce....he has a drinking problem ;) Not only is he always thirsty, but this is the way he drinks out of bottles. He does this still to this day....he's 6 now. But, I find it cute so I don't correct him on the way that may possibly be better for him to drink out of the bottle...I'm just sure to not drink out of his bottles after him...I just picture what trickles back in to the bottle. Cans...no problem, bottles...mmm mm, not gonna do it.


If you have a picture you would like to share and talk about, then link up with Seven Clown Circus.

Happy 9th Birthday To Taylor

Well today is the day that Taylor turns 9, and she's grounded all.day.long. for it. Ok, she's not really grounded, but I still don't agree with her turning 9. She is now considered to be a tween. That sounds pretty crazy to me. Although, I am starting to see the tween tude, though mild.

So here's Taylor over the years...can't start from when she was a baby though...long story on access to the pics. So here she is in all her glory...

Don't ask about this pic! I have no answers!

And here she is today, on her birthday morning...

Happy 9th Birthday Taylor! I love you to pieces...now go stand in the corner, 'cause I didn't give you permission to grow up!

A Funny Story and Awards

Ok, I'll start this with a funny story. We just left Shortmama's house a little bit ago from her daughter Rhiannon's birthday party. Well Shortmama's 2nd cousin is staying the night with my daughter Alyssa tonight. We decided to take Alyssa and the cousin and Jayce out for a ranger ride. While on the ride the kids were having a good time being all crazy. Out of nowhere, Alyssa decides to share with all of us that she has a wedgie. We share these kinds of things ya know. So anybuttfloss, "cousin" didn't quite hear Alyssa and she said "WHAT?"! She had thought that Alyssa had asked her if she had a wedgie, and she was like "what kind of question is that?!!". That got us all cracking up. And then "cousin" decided to remember about the time that I wore underwear on the outside of my clothes for Shortmama's mom's 50th birthday party. I told her it was so I wouldn't get a wedgie! And then she said "you mean, you weren't really wearing any other underwear!". Oh man, kids are great! Here's a little pic of the underoo episode...



Ok, now on to the awards.

Have I told you lately that I love you...

Could you guys hear me singing that? If so, I'm so very sorry, cause I can't sing for shit. So anybrokeneardrums, just thanking all of you who follow my zany life and thoughts. And also a thanks to two ladies that have passed awards on to me. Oh ya, and thanks for sharing your lives with me, I'm really digging how I'm really getting to know some of you and enjoying our back and forth emailsations...that's my shortened version of email conversations.

This first award comes from....

Holy mole poop...I just went to One Loopy Life's blog, cause that's where the first award came from....and what do ya know, she's given me yet another award today! 'Scuse me while I gather myself! So it seems to be that I have three awards now.

So, the first two awards both come from One Loopy Life. Thank you! I know some don't like to check out who the awards come from, but it would be awesome if you could just check out the pics of her cutie little girl and especially the pics of her hilarious tub hair here. Gave me a really good laugh, so cute! And just as a P.S...she called me Dessert Rose..very common mistake people make of my title...but I'm not a yummy dessert...I live in the hot AZ desert!

Here is the first award...

1. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
2. List who gave the award to you and use a link to her blog (or hyperlink).
3. List 10 things that make you happy.
4. Pass the award on to other bloggers and visit their blog to let them know!

10 Things that make me happy are:

1. When the kids say things that make me laugh, and when the are naive!
2. Margarita's, with Monin Agave Nectar.
3. Napping. Love me a nap.
4. Reading.
5. Quad Riding.
6. Camping.
7. The beach.
8. My friends...luv them.
9. Road trips.
10. Orange circus peanuts...yum.

Now for who I'm passing it on to...I'm only going to pick a couple, cause I swear this post is going to be hella long, and it's very time consuming!

* Frau from West Family Adventures...she's sick to day and looking for remedies, so this is my remedy for her!
*Arizona Mamma from Our Daze In The Desert...yup, she's an Arizonan like me. Maybe one day we shall meet.

Now here is the 2nd award that One Loopy Life gave me...I've actually been awaiting this one, it's so cute! So thank you!

The rules are to list 10 things you may not know about me, and to pass it on to 10.

Ok, so here's the thing, I'll list the 10 things, but it's late, I'm tired, and I don't follow rules sometimes, so again, I will pick just a couple of bloggers to pass it on to.

So here are 10 things that you may not know about me...and maybe you don't want to!

1. I can't stand bras. Uncomfortable.
2. I wear a bra cause I don't want the small mounds to look like pancakes sooner than they should.
3. Sometimes I curse like a sailor...and I thoroughly enjoy it.
4. I don't like to be told what to do.
5. I like shooting hand guns, but not shot guns and rifles.
6. I used to be a streaker, skinny dipper....having kids has cured me of this. Damn.
7. I have NEVER texted. I know, I know...you can stop looking at me like that now.
8. I'm like an old person, I go to sleep early. Well between 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. usually.
9. When I get tired, I get cranky.
10. I've always wanted a motorcycle.

I will pass this award on to...

*Everything But The Kitchen Sink....she's funny and a smart ass, and she likes to cuss like a sailor too, er, maybe cause she's a Navy Girl!
*Fighting Off Frumpy....I don't even think she knows I'm following her, so maybe I'm just stalking her....she talks about some funny shiz!


Ok and now for the award from 3 Boys + 1 Hubby = What's Next. Thank you!

I'm passing this award on to...

*Sitting on the Mood Swing at the Playground....She's definitely brought some sunshine to my life, cause #1 I like her blog and #2 I've won 2 giveaways that she has done...woot woot!
*NieNie....Ok, so I don't think I could technically give this award to her, cause her blog doesn't take comments that I know of....but let me tell you, just watching what this woman has gone through and she still keeps her chin up, that spreads a little sunshine in my world, cause if she can keep her chin up through all her pain, then I'll be damned if I can't get through some tough bumps in the road.

So thanks again for the awards....and sorry for the long post!

I know that a lot of people enjoy blogs that are specifically about that, but that's not what I blog about and not what I'm looking to follow. :)

Dear Someone

Dear Alyssa,

You do not have permission to act like me. So when you have a sleepover with your friends, there will be no more running around in bras and panties because you want to get a little wild. That behavior is reserved by me, so you need to take the more modest route. That's an order.

Concerned Momma


Dear Bra and Panty Episode,

That has brought back a flood of memories of what used to be. Running around all over the boonies here in bra and underoos, playing fire drill in the car running around and swapping drivers in nothing but the underclothes. Ah the memories.

Smiling at the memories
Me

Dear House,

Ok already, I'm ready to attack you now that I have some time after neglecting you due to all the studying. Be.prepared.

Woman who can't believe you let yourself go
