I can just cry and eat a box full of KRISPY KREME'S!!!

Ok, so I have to take my husband's car to get checked this morning. His brakes were making "noise" and he said his steering wheel was rubbing?? Soooo I go get there 8:00, it's wet and slightly drizzly, I look like a bear in my coat and sweatshirt and I'm cold!!! Get the pic,LOL...The guy tells me he'll be out in an hour to let me know what's up and how much??. Sooo in the little room I go to sit and wait. You ever been in those dealer waiting rooms, this one was small and get this NO COFFEE!!! About an 1 1/2 later I get called out and the guy says "you need front brakes and the racknpin(something like that) in the steering wheel needs to be replaced, it's $1200.00, I say scuuuuuuuuuuuuze me did you say $12 00 not $12.00, one thousand two hundred dollars!!! yes mam!!! HOLY MOTHER OF FRICKING THE ONE WHO CREATED THE EARTH!!!!! ok I thought that but didn't say it out loud!!lol....so immediately I get a stomach ache, I seriously want to cry. My husband is a teacher he works so hard for me to stay home, I was just shocked at the price. So I ask the guy can you tell my husband, he said sure. I call school they transfer me into his class I hand the phone and I can tell my husband is asking a lot of questions....the guy finally says how much. More questions by my husband of course. The guy laughs and covers the phone and says to me "your husband just told his class that he's on a emergency personal call get your books out read a story he doesn't care which story just sit be quiet and read"...lol....that my friends is stress speaking out loud. Hope his class's were well behaved today after this phone call. Sooooooo I get the phone back he ask me how are we going to pay I tell him we have the $$ that was to be used to paint the trim on the house. Sooooo there ya go we have to use that $$. I need another job, ohhh yeah I got hired as a part time merchandiser for Hawwaiin Tropics. ;o).....I can clean a mean toilet and cook mexican food anyone need a maid!!!ugh....The thing is my husband just got a 5% raise and BAM we get hit with this. By the way we spent $800 in Dec and $600 in Oct on the same car!!!! Time to wrap myself in a blanket and eat a pot of rice pudding!!!!

Oprah, Oprah, Oprah.....

Ovey,,,,is all I can say!!!! Today's show is of course to be about "working mom's and stay at home mom's". Seeing the brief commercials on it yesterday looks like it gets purrrdy heated!! Ok this is MY OPINION and since it's my BLOG I can say what I want!!LOL First I say WE STAY AT HOME MOM'S WORK!!! I understand that there are women that have to work outside the home full time, but ya know I'm really beginning to doubt that in some cases. I think there are families that the mom's have to stay working in order to pay for those "cars, bigger house, current name brand clothes for kids, current games, vacations in the summer, etc.... I dunno I say if you really don't have to work and your only working BECAUSE YOU SAY YOU'LL LOSE YOUR IDENTITY if you don't,,,GET OVER YOURSELF. After I watch the show I'll throw in some more of MY opinions.....hehehe
========================================================
Ok so I watched let's just say it was disappointing. Let me just say this, not every working mom can do what I do, nor do I think they even want to hence them going to work. The show basically was asking can working mom's have it all. The working mom's seem to think they can, but to me you either give 100% to your job or your family if your working you have to give 100% to your job and your family will suffer. Oprah had on some anchor woman last name "Vargas" they tried to say she made a AGONIZING decesion to stay home, first off she went from ABC ANCHOR WOMAN to working for 20/20, so to me she's not a sahm??? And give me a break why does the decision have to be agonizing?? I'll never forget when I looked at my oldest son at 6 weeks and thought NO WAY am I going to put him in daycare I wanted him so much I could give up my career for HIM!!! ok enough about this..lol

You gotta just LIVE OUT LOUD!!!

I love the song by Steven Curtis Chapman "LIVE OUT LOUD". God created us to enjoy life and live it to it's fullest. Don't put off playing with your kids, jump rope, skip with your kids just enjoy the moment!!!! Laughter and smiles are contagious and a merry heart is good for the soul!!!

Proverbs 19:14

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers, and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
(Proverbs 19:14)

AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!! Love this verse!!!

Happy New Year!!!! ok ok so I'm late....

Sheeeeesh where does the time go? Already into the new year and it's looking crazy. Boy I sure dream of the "simpler" times when my kids were younger and they woke up stayed in there jammies all morning (ok me to). Would set up there toy's on the fireplace and play play play. Now Jake is in 7th and Cole in 6th and Cheyenne is in 4th!!!My how time flies.

For those mama's reading this that have little one's crying at your feet or screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO for the 25th time in five minutes, ENJOY it!! Seriously it goes by fast I know when your in that "season" you never think that moment will go, but it does trust me. I miss my baby boys and baby girl, I miss talking, laughing and just hanging out with them during the day. I can remember back then I use to wish I worked just so I could get a break or go to the bathroom by myself without someone walking in with a plate of food telling me THEY DIDN'T WANT TO EAT the YUCKY MAC AND CHEESE anymore!!LOL Ok my kids maybe older but they still insist on following me to the bathroom and standing at the bathroom door talking to me!!LOL.. Children are the best thing God every created!!! Enjoy them and just SIT AND PLAY WITH THEM you will be glad you did. The dishes, dust and laundry will always be there and need to be done but your babies will never be that age again!!!

I promised pic's in my last post, sorry no time lately to upload I have uploaded a few. Here is one of my fav's. I'd like you to meet the BEST PARENTS EVER, my mom and dad. They have been married 51 years and my mom was and still is a HAPPYHOUSEWIFE. She had nine children and stayed home and raised all of us!!! My dad was the provider and we never were without food or a home. THANK YOU MOM AND DAD for rasing me and loving me always, I LOVE YOU.....
