We have almost entered the Year 2010.
Freaky huh?
Wasnt the world supposed to end 10 years ago?

2010 will be the "Year of Momma". The year that I finally think of myself and do things to better my life and improve my mental state.

Not that I have mental issues. *twitch*

In the Year 2010 I will work my fat ass off to look like this

Which means I will also need alot of surgery, so I will be playing the lottery every week.



In the Year 2010, I will do more of this



And because I will be smiling more, I will invest in some teeth whitening services.




In the Year 2010, I will appreciate my children more. I say this every morning when I wake up but this time it is different. Really.




I will smile and appreciate my children even when they are fighting and calling eachother "friggin a-holes".




In 2010 I will do more of this



And I will smile while reading a juicy novel on the beach with my perfect bod.



In the Year 2010, I will learn how to take better pictures and uncovering the secret to convincing all three children to smile when they see the camera.
At the same time.



I would also like to learn how to better edit my pictures.



And win a trip somewhere pretty so I can spend a week taking pictures of pretty things. Just because.



In the Year 2010, I will eat less of this


And drink less of this


Ok, lets be honest here. Basically the Year 2010 will be the year that I starve myself while hiding out in my bedroom reading romance novels.



But I will be smiling with nice white teeth.



Happy Friggin New Year!

a Riddle. kinda

What do you get when an almost 8 year old boy takes a very rough turbulent plane ride and then hops in a vehicle for a few hours?

Oh yeah. And he had McDonalds in the vehicle for lunch.

You get alot of vomit.
In the vehicle.
On the seat.

On the almost 8 year old boy.

You also get a stench so bad that it makes you gag and almost vomit all over yourself.

And this.

A vehicle pulled off to the side of a major highway.
Luggage laying on the ground.

The best guy in the world cleaning up the vomit with a crib sheet while middle child observes (and laughs).
And the mom staying far away (while gagging) and taking pictures.

That's what you get.

Random thoughts about Disney characters

C'mon. I know everyone thinks this stuff. Maybe they just don't say it out loud. So I will do it for you.

While at Disney, oldest child had his autograph book and was on a mission to get as many characters to sign it as he could.




Ok, who am I kidding? I was on a mission and when I saw a short line, I neglected my family, other tourists and all thoughts of safety so I could get a spot in line.

Because oldest child needed an autograph.

But as I watched these characters, many thoughts popped up in my 34 year old stay at home mom brain.

I hope these characters get paid alot of money.


I hope Disney did extensive background checks because if I see one very large hand grope a bum or boob, I am taking them down.

Don't they get hot?


I bet they have days when they just want to backhand screaming children.




Or yell at them.


How do they always stay so quiet?





It must be hard to dance around to the Disney songs and not belt out the words.





Does every character have the same autograph every single time?






Do they go back to the character staff room and talk about the ugly kids?

When they go home at night, are they the grumpiest people in the Universe?

Can I get a job being Minnie Mouse?

Only if they pay me alot.

Burnt Out. So here are some pictures.

Christmas is over.
The surprise party is over.
Our Disney trip is over.

I am left with a huge mess in my house.
Huge debt in our account.
5+ extra pounds (I think).
And I am burnt out.

But it was all so much fun.
And so worth it.

Today I leave you with {some}pictures of our Christmas. {I took approximately 168}.
Maybe tomorrow I will give you some pictures of Disney.
And the next day some pictures of the surprise party.

You're welcome.

Happiness is.....

As the holiday approaches us, I cant help but think of all that I am grateful for.
I truly am blessed and will not let this time pass by without taking a few moments to sit back and reflect.
I am happy.
100% happy.
Happiness is my darling husband of 9 years. My best friend.

My oldest son who made me realize that I was put on this Earth to be a Mother.
My middle child who constantly teaches me to live spontaneously and makes me laugh every single day.
My youngest child. My baby. My daughter. The human being who has completed our family and brought more smiles to my face than I ever thought was possible.
And Studley. Even though he runs away and eats my food, I couldn't imagine life without him in it.

May you all take a moment to reflect on all that you are grateful for this year and what truly makes you happy.

And before Santa comes tonight, I leave you with this. Just because.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours.

To Do List For The Next 24 Hours

I'm starting from the bottom

Random Tuesday

So, yeah, I have been thinking.

Trying to figure myself out.

Because I am an odd one and find myself changing in ways that I cannot figure out. Is it age? Is it wisdom? Is it insanity?

That's what I am trying to figure out.

So far, no luck.

****I used to love wrapping. I looked forward to sitting in front of the television with the Christmas lights on and candles lit. I set out all of my wrapping supplies and went nuts.

Sometimes I would sit and wrap for hours.

Hours.

And I loved it.

That time of my life has passed and I now dread it. Hate is a strong word but I will use it here.

I hate wrapping.

*sigh*

****I had my hair coloured the other night. I am now a redhead and all I can think of when I look in the mirror is that I resemble this.

Dark hair. Pale skin.

I need to move somewhere warm year round just to have a bit of colour.

I also dread the gray hairs coming in because I am sure they will blind people when they look at my dark hair and see shiny whiteys sticking out.

Ugh.

****I have zits. At the age of 34 1/2, I have broken out. Just tonight I squeezed a blackhead and a "snake" the size of my baby finger came out.

****I almost did the happy dance when I learned that Ellen Degeneres is following me on Twitter.

Then I noticed that she follows thousands of others. I.Must.Do.Something.To.Stand.Out. Suggestions are welcome.

****My girl crush is engaged. Carrie Underwood has decided that some hunky {Canadian} hockey player is better than a pale red head married to a man mom of three and is getting hitched. How dare she????

Hmm......I think I am figuring myself out.

Age? No.

Wisdom? No

Insanity? I think so.
