So yesterday i was talking to my sister telling her to stick with broth and crackers and pastina. So, I said, "get a huge thing of broth, and have some craCKer soup"
From the back seat I hear, "NOOOOO Mommy!! I don't want CRAPPER soup for lunch, I want a hot dog!"
LOL!!

Friday Night Fever!
so last night we had the meeting of the first dinner club - and i had a great time! It was nice to hang out with mom's, even if my kids were around :( that's what's hard in our tiny place, I felt bad to tell my hubby to get lost with the kids since he has no family here he has no place to go - so they banished themselves to our bedroom, but my lil girl was just to curious to stay in there.
great food, good peeps - fun night!! :)

Hello?? Poison Control?
my son ate 1/2 a packet of the cascade 2 in 1 action dish washer soap.
I gave him milk, washed his mouth out with water and the kitchen sprayer, and he puked."
GOOD GOD. that shit smells horrible, what would possess any living being to continue to eat it?
:( this is totally my fault, i left the cabinet open. STUPID MOM.

In response to a friend...
In response to my friend, who is having a hard time, your house and life isn't the only one in disarray.
You know, you just seriously described my life. I am pretty sure whether or not you have 2 children or 10, those problems will exist. I noticed a DRASTIC change in our lives when we added another one. Only having one, I got things done. Now, we pick and choose what is important to us. And now, what's important is selling our place!!
We also took our lives back last week. We decided enough was enough and we were to de-clutterize our house. We went around and did a clean sweep our style, and threw shit in bins and then went through the bins.
Out of 8 bins, only 3 remain, and one full bin of those is give away/sell stuff.
The clutter problem is mostly my problem. I am running two businesses out of our house, and there is really no room in our house to do these businesses. I am trying to record keep for personal and business, and I SUCK at recordkeeping (ie: tax crap) so now i have a new system in place.
clean laundry - MUST i go take a pic of our kids's bathroom, bedroom and the toy crap corner? you say yes? ok, here you go:
Bins left for me to put away:
Plastic Hell:
Our nice clean laundry in kids's bathroom:
So see my friend, you are not alone!! (hug)

Laughter. The BEST medicine.
There are some blogs that really bring you down - you know the kind that you read and the sky is falling - all of the freaking time!
And then there are those that you read and lurk on b/c, omg, someone else in another state or country is living your life. In fact, you could be Irish twins!
Dooce is just that to me. This woman is SOOO funny, I LOVE her writing style, and we have a child about the same age and her kid could seriously be mine. Some days I am laughing so hard when I read what she writes, that I have to take a break.
Speaking of laughing so hard, my face STILL hurts today from laughing so hard last night. I play in a buncogroup - and we had our bi-monthly GTG last night. We celebrated Fat Tuesday and my aunt's birthday and had a blast - er, well, we laughed so damn hard, I think I peed myself.
Cousin 1 was going to go get the cake for my aunt's birthday. Said cousin was looking for matches. We were asking around, and my sister and I asked my grandma (whom was sitting at our table) where her matches were. Grandma began back peddling b/c she thought they were up high in the linen closet - b/c you know, an 80 yo woman and man could start a fire!
So, we ask her again, as she seemed reluctant to get them or tell us where they were, and she whispered - "if you need something, I have spray" OMFG - she was thinking that we were asking for matches for the bathroom and NOT a cake-
Laughter erupted and us 12 women ROARED like you wouldn't believe - and for like 15 minutes straight. I think I peed my pants and was crying. I couldn't stop. So, my aunt goes to blow out her candles, and my mom whispers - go get the spray - so I run into the linen closet, and then come running out screaming HOLD ON WAIT FOR ME - with the can of spray - laughter erupted again, I thought my aunt was going to fall out of her seat. I am pretty sure we spent a good 1/2 hour laughing at this whole thing. And when all was said and done, and we started playing bunco again, every once in awhile you would hear a giggle and then the entire table laughing. My aunt was sitting by my grandma (her sister) and she just giggled so loud and like every 20 seconds and all she could say was - Oh A - I just can't stop laughing!!
And this is good. My aunt's husband died about 4-5 months ago and had lived with Alzheimer's for a good 5-6 years before passing. She is very sad. They had been married forever. My aunt is depressed, Another woman there suddenly lost her hubby a year or so ago, and this type of laughter is just what the doctor ordered.

And yet another thought....
i am taking my curly bug to get tested out at a preschool to see if she needs to be in preschool or pre-k. I am guessing preschool, but the teacher, upon talking to her, didn't even think that she should be in preschool until I told her thats he can recognize almost all her upper case letters, all basic shapes and colors and numbers up to 15. Now, she wants to evaluate her - hopefully curly bug won't make me look crazy :)
I love my Tuesdays
I go to coffee on Tuesday nights and I have to say that I am just totally refreshed after going. I love the company and the feeling of being by myself.
Although I am sick today, I just wanted to thank the girlies for coffee night!

work from home moms....
how do you do it?
It is now 12:48 and I have sent out two quotes, scheduled three photo sessions and received 10 phone calls for items needing to be ordered.
One child is sick, the other TOTALLY bored with me (but keeping herself occupied) and I just now saw that it is lunch time.
I MUST come up with a schedule. Or find someone *cough* my mom *cough* that can take the kids 2 afternoons per week.
