I know some have you have seen this before on Kym’s Facebook but I nearly pee myself every time I watch it and don’t wanna be the only one wearing Depends ’round here. Don’t forget to turn your sound up!
On a side note: MOM! you’re getting a Target in D’Iberville on Oct. 7!!!!!! No more driving across state lines!
Just keep in mind this evil company nearly gave your daughter a mental breakdown. So don’t be giving them too much of your money!
Re-posting this from earlier this year. I just can’t get over the fact that I am more in love with my husband now than I was when our relationship was new and hot and heavy. It’s amazing how good it feels to be comfortable with someone and you don’t ever plot how you’d off them. Jase is a firm 10.. A 15 on a really good day. He just gets me.
In the winter of 2001 I put an ad on Match.com. Yeah, I know. Just shut up and listen.
I was up front about being a divorced mother of three small children, I didn’t believe anyone would actually contact me. I got a few messages from some MUCH older men. I don’t have anything against older men but I was 21 and they were 50-60!
1. I had to be very careful who I let around my children.
2. I wasn’t looking for a sugar daddy. I wanted to love and be loved.
3. I wasn’t looking for a “booty call”. I even put that in the ad after a few more randy emails.
In February 2002 I received a message from someone my age. I logged onto the site and took a peek. His profile was adorable. Witty and self deprecating. Then I saw it! It was a picture of him holding a turtle in the Caribbean Islands, right before he sat down to eat turtle soup. He was grinning big and there twinkled my Kryptonite. Dimples! Ok Ok they are harder to see in person but that photo endeared him to me instantly.
He had sent his AIM name in the message so I IM’d him right then. We talked for hours and agreed to meet on March 1. He knew I had children but liked my profile and thought he’d see where it went.
He brought me a rose that first time. He came in and met my parents who were kind enough to babysit for me that night. He did not meet my children. More on this later.
He was sweet and funny and SUPER shy. His poor car kept stalling out and it took us forever to get somewhere. He kept turning red every time it sputtered and I loved it! He didn’t get mad he didn’t beat on the dash when it died. He would just look at me with this sheepish face to see if I were upset. We talked and really got to know each other as I am not one to shy away from asking or answering questions.
Since his car kept dying out I didn’t get home until 1am. My mom was up waiting for me and I told her, “That’s the guy for me. I think I might just marry him one day.”
I would stay at his apartment on the weekends my ex had the kids and he would come stay the night with me a few times during the week after getting out of work late. Yet after three months he still had not met the kids. I was very firm on not wanting my kids to meet someone until I knew it might get serious. I think Jase started doubting I even had kids.
One night as Jase was staying over Seth woke up and was crying so I went and got him and brought him into my room. I sat him on the bed and he crawled up to Jase, sat beside him and just looked up like, “Hey dude wassup”. Jase was wide eyed, not knowing how to handle this turn of events. For about a minute they just starred. Seth started jabbering his baby talk and Jase was answering him like they were having a perfectly grown up conversation. He didn’t talk down to him he didn’t try to baby talk him to please me. I could tell he wasn’t putting on a show like my ex did when in front of people. He was being real and my son approved.
I fell in love right then and there.
He met the other 2 rug rats the next day and my poor moms rug and couch never got over all the wrestling matches, piggy back rides, and tv snuggle time. Becca has been attached to his hip since then. Kyle is now a GIT (Geek In Training) and Seth is a total smartass goof just like his step-dad.
I have a question for you….
How do YOU distract yourself from something that is in the forefront of your mind constantly? How do you get that little voice to STFU about the one thing you don’t want to think about? Or at least quiet it from a scream to a whimper?
I am really curious to hear your advice!
Out damn bot!
The last couple of weeks my blog has been under spam bot attack! No, I don’t want Viagra, Cialis, or my penis to grow! For the time being I am changing my blog to login commenting. If anyone has trouble commenting go to the Contact Me page and let me know so I can figure out another solution.
Thanks!
P.S I got my Scrabble necklaces in today.. I must say, they are FABULOUS!!!! Will post pics once I find my damn camera.
I have noticed a lot of us bloggers have hit a steel wall when it comes to putting fingers to keyboards on our blogs.
I figure the only way to push though is to just start typing away and see what happens. So I am as excited as you guys as to what this post is about!
Found an awesome Etsy store while doing my regular insomniac web surfing the other night. I had typed in Cherries just to see what Etsy would show me. When I saw this I had to take a closer look. It’s a reclaimed Scrabble tile that is lovingly redressed as awesome necklace charms. I LOVE SCRABBLE! I was hooked! So let me show you what I have bought so far.
For me!
For when I start to get panic attacks.
For Becca
I showed my mother the site yesterday and we OOOOO and AHHHH’d on the phone for about an hour as she picked out ones to give the young girls in our family for Christmas. She found a beautiful dragonfly one for my aunt and couldn’t resist it.
I got to talking to the site owner, Becky, and we hit it off big time. She is super sweet and makes me giggle. Jase and I don’t wear wedding rings and have talked about getting wedding necklaces. I hate putting rings on necklaces so after I found Becky inspiration struck. She does custom orders and I asked if she could make a pair of charms with the front symbolizing marriage and the back would have one initial on it. I’d wear the J necklace and Jase would wear the H. She loved the idea!
Here’s what the front will look like.
She’s still trying to pick the absolute best colors and font for the back initial piece. I leave it in her more than capable hands. You can find Becky’s Etsy store on my side blog or by clicking TinyTreesBoutique. She has two other sites to serve you as well. Look for those on her Etsy page.
Becky is the first person I am advertising for in my side blog that I wasn’t friends with in advance of her shop opening. You guys know me. I don’t recommend anything that I am not 100% in love with. I also never charge for throwing up a link or a button.
If any of you have Etsy shops or web stores don’t be shy asking me to put you over there on my side bar. I take great pleasure in seeing my loved one succeed.
Whoa! That worked out well.. A whole post just for letting my fingers do the mindless tap dance!!!
Now to do Jase’s Facebook astrology…No surprise that we are perfect for each other.
General Description of All Horses
Horse people are extemporaneous and quick-witted. They are quite intelligent and use their practicality to their advantage in their business and personal lives. Their sharpness makes them quick to pick up new skills and are able to handle many tasks at one time. However, this ambition can be harmful because Horse people often don’t finish what they start for fear of missing out on the next big challenge.
Horses are trustworthy, friendly and open-minded. They are good friends to have and will always be honest with you. Although they are good confidants, Horse people do enjoy their alone time and are usually independent people. They can struggle with obstinance and self-centeredness, which can lead to a flare of the temper if they don’t get their way. Usually, after an episode or temper-tantrum a Horse can feel remorse, yet not all people will be able to forgive their reaction.
Dual Signs – Horse and Cancer
You’re a type who’s gentle, sympathetic, affectionate, and who knows how to make himself/herself loved. But these good traits are not innate it’s you who’ve forged them since your earliest years. Indeed, your childhood is often marked with painful events; but these ordeals, instead of rendering you revolted or bitter, strengthen your desire to understand, protect, save others from the sufferings that haven’t been spared you.
You possess a solid appetite for living in the innermost part of yourself. But your multiples painful experiences may bring you moments of melancholia and discouragement.
Having a keen interest in childhood and its problems, you’re all at the same time an affectionate, tender parent and a good educator. Fantasy will never be excluded from your home.
You tend to engage yourself lightly, which can complicate your affective and amorous life. Your real happiness would be to found a large family.
Facebook has this neat application that combines Chinese and Western Astrology. I don’t buy into this stuff too much but this was was pretty good.
General Description of All Sheep
Sheep are nurturers. They enjoy taking care of other people. Like their animal counterpart, Sheep people are pretty calm individuals. Their personalities are quiet, reserved and soothing. They like to be in the company of others but do not wish to be in the middle of everything. They like standing in the back, watching contently from the sidelines, as others dazzle the company. Sheep will generally do better than they are aware because they are so good at keeping the peace and accomplishing the tasks at hand.
(I always hated being a LEO because they always painted us as HAVING TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT AND BEING MATERIALISTIC AND FLASHY. Sooooo not me.)
Detailed Description of The Earth Sheep
I am already starting to freak out over the house. I can’t tell you how much I HATE this… I hate feeling out of control and just having to sit here playing the waiting game. There is nothing left for me to do but wait…and wait…and wait… GRRRRRR! We gave the bank until mid-October to decide if they want to sell to us or proceed with the foreclosure. How will I last until then? What will we do if the bank doesn’t decide before the deadline.
We are having to plan like we aren’t going to make it in time to get that $8,000 upfront house buying rebate so we’re in SUPER SAVE MONEY MODE. We’ll end up having to borrow the closing cost money from Jase’s mom then turn right around and pay her back after closing.
My tummy is in a constant state of upset right now and I am chugging copious amounts of peppermint tea hoping to settle it down.
Thanks for letting me have my whine. I needed to get it out before my head went BOOM.
Now I am off to find a ticker to count down mom and dad’s arrival!!! They hadn’t visited in YEARS and now this year we get them TWICE?!!!? LOOOOOOOVE IT!!!!!
