So I received an email from Justice (The most amazing store by any little girl age k-8th grade) that the new boy band group New Hollow would be at local stores in  the Chicago area for a concert  & Autographs.  I had never heard of them, so I clicked the video embedded in the email in case I needed to be a really cool mom and take Princess Bean & Liberty.  Their title song is called 'Sick' .

Today I am thankful for sleep. Mostly because I'm suffering from lack of. PC and I stayed up way to late and then I was up to send kids off to school. Now I'm about ready to close my eyes, with the laptop on my desk, and slip away into oblivion...zzzzzzzzz

Today, I am thankful for my friends!  I have recently reconnected with a few people from my past whom I missed very much. I look forward to getting to know them all over and creating a stronger bond.  Over the past few years I have really found out how much friends can enrich your life, make you a better person and help with your sanity in the times you feel the world has taken a contract out on

It's been a long day. Not being able to get up and do things is so frustrating. I suppose that's a good thing I'm doing this thankful thing! It reminds me of the better parts of my life! I am thankful for My husband!  We have been through so much in our 15 years together. Somehow he still manages to love me and put up with my crazy. On top of that he even manages to go to work all day at a job

It's crisp & colorful this morning. I am trying to think of a way to talk PC into letting us take a family walk, but I have a feeling he'll remind me I'm grounded to the couch *sigh*   Dang responsible men, teehee.  So what am I thankful for on this beautifully delicious day?  My Momma: Without her my life would be so much harder than it is. Her ability to stay calm in a storm, hold my hand and

It's November and Thanksgiving is quickly closing in on us. In an effort to show my gratitude for the many blessing in my life, as well as help ease my way back into daily blogging, I am going to start posting things I am thankful for...Feel free to share with me!

I have Google Reader for the 50 or so blogs I read daily and I love it. I have a Google Reader app for my phone so I can stay in touch while on the go. But yesterday while searching extensions for Google Chrome (My preferred browser) I ran across Feedly, a magazine style feed reader. It uses your existing reader account (in my case google) and then allows you to sort by category & create your own

So maybe, and I'm only saying this as a hypothetical situation, Prince Charming is right.  Maybe (again..total hypothetical here) he really does pay more attention to me than I think.  We've been on a long road that had it's beautiful serene flower filled landscape, then it got a bit bumpy, and then for a while, there was a wild horde of killer bee's chasing us from the same flower filled

Did you ever wonder about Jesus as a child? If he ever did anything funny? Stupid? Childish?Well, Christopher Moore (with his usual straight forward & smart ass sense of humor) wanted to answer some of these questions and thus began the discovery of Lamb, the Gospel according to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. It's irreverant, intriguing, hillarious and shocking. It's also one of the best things

Okay, so I'm a bit slow. The speech from the President has, apparently, been everywhere..and I just heard about it today. In my defense, we don't have any television in my house right now, and a chance to read a paper or even listen to the news is somewhat dicey in my constant daily rotation of work, kids, homework and 3 different sport practices. Today happens to be a priceless & rare day as

Okay, so I suppose it is sort of "cheating" to post a youtube vid as a post after being gone. But...It's something, right? And besides...it's really cute and funny...so I should be forgiven :-D Enjoy!

Frustrated workers in France have taken matters in thier own hands. Fed up with working conditions, not being heard and the number of layoffs, employees at a 3M plant decided to take thier manager hostage. While reading this article I was surprised to learn that this type of thing happens somewhat often. Maybe U.S. companies should stand up and take notice!

I have been wanting to blog for weeks now, but every time I sit at my computer my mind goes blank. Every thought I had, every post idea, every humorous quip....gone. Vanished. I don't know what to do, with the exception of posting meaningless dribble in hopes that suddenly inspiration will will bite me in my arse. So, I guess I will end this post today by asking...what do you do when your

Where to begin is the problem. So much has happened, and trying to sort through the boring, the uninmportant, and the things I should share is the hardest part.I am not sure how much I said before or where I left of in my little life saga that began last summer, so I am just going to do a quickish recap and go from there.Last year Prince Charming and I seperated. It was a horridly difficult thing

Okay, so it's not exactly midnight. It's actually 12:12.Why does that make a difference?Umm, it doesn't. Duh!I decided to check out a few of my fav. bloggers (whom I have missed horribly) and the urge to give into my urge of the past few days became to great.A LOT of stuff has happened since I've been here last (including the loss of my domain where all my bloggity pretties were housed..thus the

So here I am all excited to be back in the world of blogging...when everything goes just plain wrong.My darling laptop has had a nervous breakdown. She simply has decided it's not worth her time or effort to power up. Thanks to my new Palm Centro (yes, I did trade my pearl in) I can finaly blog a bit.

I forgot to mention that the reason I have made such a grand return to the blogging world was this nifty little gadget:Meet Scarlet, my new Blackberry Pearl 8130. After 4 years of suffering through life with a basic boring ugly dysfunctional phone... I was thrilled to receive this upgrade. One of the selling points was that my new pearl could be used as a modem for my computer. Actually, that

Apparently, the answer is yes. Although it could just be my warped and wicked sense of humor! I just couldn't resist purchasing this at a recent visit to the grocery store!And that fact that it's spicy..just makes it all the funnier.

Because every time I sat down to write something....anything, my mind just went blank.So I started to think up an open letter to government officials about things like gas prices, jobs, government 'help' programs, education and how they are all failing miserably.

I woke up this morning and after my initial thought of "OMG, do I have to wake up now!" came the thought "I love smelling my coffee when I wake up." As the morning progressed I found myself focusing happily on small mundane details.I'm not usually a negative person, but things have been tough lately and sometimes it's been hard to find a reason to smile. A day when the little things give me a

The Other Players:Anna - outspoken, know it all, hard working waitressHanna - cranky, hard working waitressTheir names really are only one letter apart and it causes mass confusion at times.The first half of training I spent 'shadowing' Hanna and simply observing(I felt like a stalker). Once I was actually allowed to approach tables Anna followed me around. Like, 4 steps behind me. At.All.Times.

I have no excuse. I have just been so darned busy between filling out applications, job interviews, baseball practices and then last week Alex got suspended for 3 days(long story) that once I get the kiddos to bed, I fall on the couch, and have no brain power to think or be funny, let alone creative!I started training for a waitress position yesterday.

The Midwest has had a horrible freezing winter this past year. My great Aunt sent this pics to the family and I thought I would share them with you. It may look like Antarctica but it's really Michigan!Michigan has had the coldest winter in decades. Water expands to freeze, and at Macinaw City the water in Lake Huron below the surface ice was supercooled. It expanded to break through the surface

In honor of St. Patty's day I went looking for one of my favorite songs,'The Scotsman.' Never has anything ever, ever made me laugh so hard. I know St. Patty's is an Irish holiday and not a Scottish one, but they both wear kilts so I decided that meant I could use it for the holiday. Good logic, huh? When I searched YouTube I found a nice little World of Warcraft video done to the song. It made

So I brought her gift over today and spent the afternoon hanging out with her and Bean.When I got home she forwarded an e-mail she had gotten from my cousin and I begged her to let me blog it.

2 weeks ago I started having trouble breathing. Then I woke up the next morning with a horrid pain in my right lung. It was Sunday and Prince Charming had the kids for the weekend so I decided I should take advantage and go to the E.R. It was a long, drawn out, and horrid experience complete with drawing all my blood, x-rays and a cat scan. I left with an inhaler and they told me there was

Well, Reality is a bitch.I only work 4-6 hours a day but my drive time is 2 hours a day. Then when I get home it's cleaning and quality time with the babies. Then dinner, then start of bed times.

I couldn't find a youtube video that allowed me to embed this, so you'll have to click here to see the video. It's how I wish my daddy still felt about me and it's how Prince Charming will (does) feel about his little Cinderellas.This is the one PC mentions in the comments, and the original one I was looking for but couldn't find at first :-)Sorry if you cry. Guess it's that kinda day today.

I have a confession to make. Or maybe an FYI. Anyway, Prince Charming and I have separated. We have been for a week and one day as of today. We have known since before Christmas that this needed to happen, but were unable financially to do anything. Finally,at the end of January, we were in a place where we could go through with it.

Due to the dangers of silicone breast implants, scientists are trying different methods to actually grow implants. The forefront in this scientific endeavor is the latex-plaster implant shown here in size "D" during it's mid-growth stage:Okay, so it's actually a water bubble in my mom's bathroom ceiling due to the leaking toilet in the apartment above.

When your laptop, desktop, cell phone, i-pod or other electronic device goes bonkey it's usually easy to fix. You simply reset the system, either by powering the item off and then back on or actually hitting a system reset button.Lately, I've really been wishing I came with one of these. A simple little power off or reset button that I could push to make my brain magically reboot and stop

As I was perusing on Sk*rt this morning, I ran across this article all about some people in Texas who say they saw a UFO on Jan. 8th. The story itself was pretty interesting and, of course, because it was on CNN, somewhat credible. One thing I did find funny was how they tried to give themselves more Credibility:Several dozen people -- including a pilot, county constable and business owners --

Dear Alex, Liberty and Bean; You are wonderful children. I have been complimented many times on how well behaved and polite you are. You are all thoughtful, kind and loving. Daddy and I try to tell you this as often as we can so that you grow to be secure, confident and even more amazing adults.

Alex is eight and we knew it was almost time. He kept asking. And asking. And asking."Mom, I'm 8. It's time to tell me the truth. I need to know. Is Santa Claus real?""Well, what do you believe? Do you believe Santa is real? Then, if you believe he is real, that is all that matters."I managed to make it through the last two months that way. I just wanted this one last Christmas.

What happens with that 'stuff' once it's there, is completely based on the individual.I am a people pleaser and a peace maker.

As part of Prince Charming's Humanities class he is required to see a play or performance of some sort. It is not allowed to be a major production (i.e. Wicked) and that really annoyed me (I really wanted to see Wicked.
