Rude Much

Okay quick post then I gotta run. Well not run but I do have to workout (OMG) and it's late and if I don't get started I'll never do it and Chef won't leave me alone.

BUT first!

So today we were out and about. The kids were hungry so we took them to the King (BK).
Now this next part is not okay. If you're eating then I am sorry in advance okay.

I was minding my own business getting my kids thier drinks when I had to approach this "lady"

1. She was on her cell. Talking like I cared what she had to say. You know what I mean.
2. Her chubby (I can say this as I am as well okay) behind (PG rating) was pressed all up against the drink counter. (Not even the worse part)
3. Her muffin top was hanging all out of her skin tight jeans (if you can call them that) and her shirt was all hiked up!

So I approach said "lady". I say "Excuse me" (she is ignoring me) "EXcuse ME" (Now she hears)

She takes, I swear...2 mins to move her nasty behind from in my way. Now by this time Chef walks up and I say (to him) "Some people are just nasty and rude." (She gave me the evil eye...LOL)

So public service annoucement!

1. Stay off your freaking cell phone if you can not talk in a normal tone.
2. Wear clothes that fit and people won't be grossed out by your "issues"
3. Learn some freaking manners.
4. Don't stand between a Mother and her babies (or what her babies want/need)

Thats all.

Now I'm off to work my chubby behind out. Night All!

*Thank you Elisa - In my defense I was tired. LOL*

An then there was silence...

*sigh*

It is my favorite time of day. When the little rug rats go to sleep. Four sleeping beauties and 3 Prince's being ever so quiet for fear of having to lay down as well. Yes folks I am "THAT" crazy.

No no let me reassure you. These are NOT my children. I am not the mother of the next Gossling bunch. Not even close. I birthed half of thier broad yes. I am DONE. These little angels (when sleeping) are my daycare children. Yes people were/are crazy enough to pay ME to watch and mold thier youngins. She's one of them. So if you want to know why then ask her. LOL

Now back to the topic at hand. See I do this alone. ALL ALONE!! Hence my internet obsession. At least I admit it. It's fine though. I can handle it (dramatic pause) most days. Nothing makes the day go by faster then painting, reading and singing. Not to mention throwing, hitting and crying. Opps - not so rosey is it. LOL No no my group is wonderful. For all their wonderfulness (is that a word) though I still look forward to nap time.

Why? Isn't it OBVIOUS! I look forward to the time to read my fav blogs. Read a book for ME. Also it is my time to chat with friends. See this career (After 8 yrs I'd call it a career) comes with no smoke breaks. No sick days. Very few vacations. Although I do get a four day weekend this week. THANK YOU Independence Day!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh - the silence. Yes today, today has been a good day.

I feel I should be witty...

but I'm not. Do you ever go read other blogs and wonder. Hmm am I this funny, insightful or witty? I know the answer for me is *ROTFLMAO* NOT. I try - lord knows I try.

Heather and Tiffany are witty and funny. Hey they were even smart enough to put together SITS. A wonderful sight that directs blog obsessed readers like me to new funny, insightful and witty blogs. How wonderful is that!

Ree is one of my FAVORITE reads. Over at the Pioneer Woman she not only COOKS, talks about daily ranch life but she is a kickass photographer. She is wonderful enough to SHARE reciepes and photoshop techniques. What a sweetheart. She was my first blog addiction.

The TIP Junkie is the place to go for wonderful ideas from around the blogasphere. Laurie takes time out of her busy life to share tips sent to her by US her readers. Hey I was even featured - how awesome is that. Right now she is having a 20day giveaway. FUN! Go check out the neat items you could win.

Lets see who else is wonderful (everyone is but I do have to get back to work you know - it is only breakfast time here and the natives will start demanding attention as soon as thier little bellys are full) Okay where was I?

Oh yes another fav of mine is Fairy Flutters. She is cute and funny. Her oldest daughter is the SAME age as my Princess. They are both May babies. I actually know of her from the Babycenter May 2004 board. (Great bunch of ladies there too) Elisa is so much more open and free then I am. I love how she views the world. I stop by daily to see what else she has to say.

The Nester over at the Nesting Place is a wonderful woman. She has many awesome ideas. If you've been there you know what I am talking about. Her sister is just as cute.

Aunt Becky at Mommy Wants Vodka tells it like it is. LOVE HER!

Here are a couple that I love to check out for ideas. The Crafty Crow, No Time For Flash Cards, and Franny Kate.

I have a couple real life friends who share the blog fun. StacyRenee is my sister from another mother (so stole that from LittleMan...LOL). She writes about her crazy life with her 4 wonderful kids all the while tryingt o survive her hubby being in Iraq. LOVE YOU DAVID!!! Sara USE to be my neighbor. As little as a year ago she was two doors over. Now she lives 5mins away (when the gate is open) but I rarely if EVER see her. See why I read her blog. LOL

Then there is this blog. Mine, my baby, my words, my boring boring life and I feel for you I really do. When you have to deal with THIS when you could have all THAT. I'll be better. I swear. I'll try. Peace and apple grease (is there such a thing as apple grease? I doubt it but it sounded better then the original...).

Yes I am crazy. See I have proof!

Weekend fun.

So I have been wanting to go to Manitou Springs for a few weeks now. We always enjoy it and not to mention there is some AWESOME food to be found there. YUM! Reason enough to go if you ask me. While there we came across their Clay Festival. So the kiddos got in on the action!

Monkey and Chef:



In Dad's Hands:



The Princess and Chef:



In Dad's Hands:



Someone is too big for help:



Little Man and Chef - he changed his mind and wanted Daddy's help.



The Parents:



So after we went running around town and then it was time for dinner. No one (Chef - you knew "I" wasn't going to ) wanted to make dinner so we went to Joe's Crab Shack. I don't think LittleMan counted on having to work for his dinner when he ordered the kids Snow Crab. LOL



The kids decided to "crab walk" out of the resturant. Goofy kids.
