My Christmas!

My Christmas comes once every three months for nine months.
REPORT CARD DAY!

Bug will bring her report card home from school today! I can't wait til noon when she gets off the bus!!! I rip open her backpack to find it! I love to see how AWESOME she does!!

The suspense is killing me...
Count DOWN...
only 2 hours and 45 minutes....

Pity Party for One, by One.

I hate rodents. I am letting my oldest adopt a hamster from our cousin. I feel like a shitty mom lately, so yes, I am willing to let her bring a disgusting rat like creature into our house.

It is no secret that we are broke.  Soon, it will be marked as part of our history. Not just days we talk about, but days we will constantly be reminded of every time we will apply for a car loan or anything.
We SUCK.

I am depressed. My husband thinks I am just a bitch. I'll let him think that, I don't want him to know how unhappy I really am.  Its not him or the kids, just what I have become I am unhappy with. 

Bug is super smart. Kindergarten is almost over! She has a count down. I am more excited than she is. I can't wait til there is no bed time or awake time.  Just a pool time!

I think I getting my period, today. (I know, how doesn't she know? is running through your head right now, well they are never consistent and sometimes only last a few hours to a few days)  If its for real, then this will be the first time I had a period since October 2009.  (minus the 6 week bleed time after giving birth, of which I don't count)

Beast is now 8 months old. She has no teeth. She eats all the time.  She is happy, smiley and giggly all day. She stands on her own, holding on to nothing. Soon, I am willing to bet, she will just take a step.  She is going to be smart just like her big sister.

I take bug to the library every Monday.  At first she was allowed to check out 5 books. That is all my mind can keep track of.  As of yesterday, we are now up to 7 books.  Do you know how heavy and cumbersome seven books are to carry when you have a baby to carry too?  Heavy and Hard!

I just want some one to tell me once, You did good, Amy.  Ya know, for more than just finding someone a super deal on something. Surprisingly the last person to say this to me and it was the first time I remember hearing it, was from my father in law. After each of my kids where born. 

I am proud of myself for keeping with breastfeeding.  It is HARD. I have done it now for 8 months. I plan to stick with it til she weens herself, or around 15-18 months, which ever comes first. Its the hardest thing I have ever done.  &  I saved us tons of money we didn't have.  No only if I could magically  train her to use the potty, I could save us tons of diaper money too!

I think about how much money and calories I would save if I was an alcoholics. They have a built in savings plan. If they could quit, look how much money they could save, and look how much weight they would lose. Too bad I don't drink. Can't give up what I don't do.  I could save $ and lose weight! WIN WIN for alcoholics. 

I am jealous of alcoholic, I am an ASS.

This totally turned into a self pity session.
I really do suck.

When Will it END??

Oh Summer where are you?
I have air conditioning, I dont complain about you. I love the heat. Well really only because I know I can escape into the air.
We HATE winter. Ok. I hate winter. Ok. I hate THIS WINTER.

TOO MUCH SNOW!
I love snowflakes. They are beautiful. Unique.
But I have seen my fair share this winter... too much of a good thing makes me apperciate it less.

Ainsley hates winter too. I tell her that she does. She really dislikes getting dressed up in her heavy jacket just to sit in her carseat. YUCK.

Ava, now, she kinda likes it. She gets to play in the snow.  She likes this. She misses school. This she doesnt like.  Snow is eating her Easter vacation & soon summer vacation.  UGH.

So like I said. Summer are you heading our way anytime soon? We miss you!!

More Random Babble... Yay for you!

1. I tried to make pumkin cheesecake cupcakes. I did not have all the proper ingrediants. They taste good, look horrible.  Atleast my cream cheese frosting is AMAZING!

2. I have laundry to the ceiling to do.

3. It annoys me to NO END  when women wear shelf bra tank tops and think they don't have to wear a real bra.  Most peoples tittays are way to sagg-ay for that. Its gross.

4.  Beast's smile makes my heart melt. Its adorbs.

5. My mother turned me on to kcups ice coffee. Its yum. Its also dangerous. This means ice coffee all day long. I am pretty sure that I put more sugar in my coffee then is in a pepsi.  I have cut back on pepsi to one like every 4th day or so.  This could be a problem. I need to buy splenda.

6. I love love love my white fossil watch. If I could marry it, I would.  Its classy. My husband is not.

7. Beast rolled over the other day, I missed it. Pdubs saw it. It a bittersweet feeling for me. I love that he got to witness a "first" since I always have to tell him about them.  Awesome for him to finally see one rather than hear about it. but I didnt see it. I heard about it.  I missed a first. I am sad.

8. My dogs went on a mini vacay to there favorite place. Aunt Deanns house.  I was sad to see them come home.

9. Yoga booty ballet kicked my ass yesterday.  Today is P90 express. I am sure I will be in tears by the end.   GOOD.

10. I love Christmas time. I am dreading it this year. 

11. Bug should be cast in the next KickAss movie.




 
12. Bug's teacher sent home a newsletter.  It had a list of what she was thankful for with every students name.  She is thankful for Bug's reading skills. I was relieved when I read this. I was glad she wasnt thankful for "enthusiam".  We all know that means, that kid be crazy! I am Proud.
 
13.  Breast feeding makes me feel like a cow.  Boob juice be flowing!
 
14.  I need to find a job, one that will let me milk myself when I need too. So waiting tables - out the window.   Too bad its the only thing I am good at.
 
15.  I hate that I have to find a job.  It makes me a little hostile. I want to raise my kids, not let some idiot do it. I want to be that idiot. It pisses me off. I resent it, and am starting to resent the reason why.
 
On that note, now I am pissy and will take it out on my dishes.  Your welcome.

Today Bug has off school It is Colombus day. Wahoo!!  I like days where I dont have to get up early and get her ready and out the door. I enjoy sleeping past 7am.  If that makes me a bad mom, yeah well.  I hate sending Bug off to school, I hate that she has to go to school. But I make her go, and I do get up and ready her to perfection.  That makes me a good Mom, so ninny ninny on you.

Bug sporting Bug glasses.

Baby Beast has been sleeping very very Well!! Mommy likes this a lot.  She gets up maybe once around 4 to eat. Thank You Baby Beast. At 9 weeks old, sleeping through most nights is music to my ears.  I love that you do this.  So does your daddy. He thanks you too. 

 Baby Beast aka Summer Snowflake is growing!!!! Yay!! She is now a little bigger than LuLu.  LuLu is Bugs daughter. She adopted her in NYC. She is my granddaughter and is treated as such.  LuLu and Beast hangout.  When Beast came home from the hosptial she was much smaller than LuLu. We are glad to see her growing.

Beast and LuLu hanging out.

Today will be the first day of my workout. Beast is 9 weeks old now, I should probably start trying to lose the baby weight I gained 5 years ago with Bug.  Sad, but Beast weighed more than I gained. So now I start trying to get rid of the weight I packed on inbetween babies.  I wish it wouldnt be as pathetic as it sounds. It is what it is though. Cant change it now. Can only chnage going forward.  I hope to lose atleast 10lbs before Thanksgiving and maybe another 5 before Christmas.  I dont know if these goals are reasonable.  I have never dieted before.  I should have, but was always OK with myself.  Today is different. I am not OK with myself today, so today I change.  (I should have probably skipped the cornflakes for breakfast then, and ate maybe an apple... too late now) I will start with this old dvd I found. P90 express. My husband has been doing it for a week now. He feels better. Lost 3 pounds. So fingers crossed it will help me too.  GO ME!

This is a great Picture of ME!! yeahright. Bleh..

Anyway, this is as good as it gets for a before picture.  I am the MOST unphotogentic person you will ever meet EVER. So there arent many of me.  Good ones anyway! 

Wish me LUCK! 

My Child the Fashionista

Cute right? She thinks she's the next Rachel Zoe. Her new dream is to dress the stars. And attend fashion shows. Thats okay by me ... I guess. Yes that is a pillowcase.

On another unrelated note, I cant stop lactating through bras and pads and shirts. This is becoming a huge problem.  I pump and feed the beast on a regular basis. The boob juice just keeps flowing.. UGH

No one tells me anything

My kid is in the paper today. Did I know this? NO. No one asked me. Its okay though, my sister wrote the article that her picture was with. It would have just been nice to know, so when I was asked about it, I didnt look and sound like a dumbbell. But oh well. I am used to looking and sounding like a dumbbell.

Bug LOVES that her picture is in the paper. She thinks this makes her famous. Like famous famous, Gaga and Justin Beiber famous. I didnt want to crush her spirits, But I did explain to her that it will take a gossip mag cover to be considered famous. Thats her next goal. Diva Much?

Ugh.. Maybe not such a great idea

I am trying to figure out this whole blogging thing. So far is going... well not great. I am really a computer and internet dumbbell. YeahWell. Sometimes, Alot of times I start something and do not finish it. Well I am going to try to stick with this for a bit. Just so I can accomplish something. Even if its as dumb as posting to a blog everyday.

We woke up a bit later then usual. But we still brushed our teeth, combed our hair, took our medicine and made it to the bus stop with time to spare! Bug most of the times moves like a snail. (she gets that from her greatgrandmother) but when we gotta move, I must give it to her, so hustles. Yay Bug!
Beast is napping while I try to figure this all out. Very productive of me. Save your applause. I should really be cleaning this tornado site up! Well there is always later!
