I’m slowly weaning myself away from the Internet, as noted on FormSpring and Twitter, and verrrry slowly deleting as many people off my Facebook as I possibly can so I don’t ever have to hear anyone ask a single question or have to read the tiniest, most subtle comment when they all start realizing that my entire life fell apart months ago.

Whoa.
Whoa.
Crazy thought.
Think of a movie you watched a lot as a teenager. Mine, embarrassingly enough, was ‘The Mummy Returns’. Its sad but true. Either way. The movie I watch the most now is ‘Barbie: A Mermaid Tale’. And that’s because its what my kids, more specifically: Charlie, want to watch. And everything in my life is guided by that: What my kids want. But!...

Why I disabled my FormSpring:
Your boobs must touch your belly button if you went from having huge boobs to tiny boobs. Get surgery cuz that shits gross.
Thanks, by the way, for publically pointing out one of my biggest self-conscious paranoia about my body. You literally have no idea the struggle that I have to go through seeing the bodies of people my own age & not seeing them riddled with imperfections &...
Flash Back - June 30, 2006.
Found another old Xanga entry I thought might be good to post:
June 30, 2006.
i can be the first to say that growing up is NOT easy. we all hold onto things that have happend to us. we wonder what’s going to happen in the future. we sit there and worry about moments in our life that might have turned out diffrently if we would have done this or that. we wonder if people that we’ve lost...
How to Install a Home Security System →
I thought this was hilarious for some reason…
How to Install a Home Security System:
1. Go to a secondhand store and buy a pair of men’s used size 14-16 work boots.
2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo Magazine.
3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines.
4. Leave a note on your door that reads: “Bubba, Bertha, Duke, Slim, & I...
Flash Back - 4 Years Ago.
I was looking through my huge folder of WordPad documents & I found one named ‘Old Journal Entries’ & it’s years and years and YEARS of all my old Xanga entries! I forgot that I went through & found all of these. I found one entry from just over 4 years ago and, I don’t know why, it just seemed like something I should post. So much has changed and it blows me...

Every mom should read this.
atcityy:
I turned to a random page in a Chicken Soup for the Mother’s Soul book and this is the story I came across:
Our daughter Ariana moved from baby to toddler with her share of the usual bumps and scraped knees. On these occassions, I’d hold out my arms and say, “Come see me.” She’d crawl into my lap, we’d cuddle and I’d say, “Are you my girl?” Between tears she’d nod her head yes. Then...
“As of yesterday, Stephen & I have officially been together for 3 years....”
Conner: Mom, Ben-10 hasn't been on in, like, 50 months.
Me: You know, you're right. We haven't watched Ben-10 in forever?
Conner: I miss it.
Me: Me too. How about we try to find something else? Let's see what's on. [Flips on Guide.] Oh, hey! Batman is on!
Conner: Hmm. What's after Batman?
Me: Uh... Johnny Test.
Conner: And then what?
Me: Uh, let's see... HOLY CRAP. IT'S BEN-10.
Conner: This.
Conner: Has to be.
Conner: The best day.
Conner: Literally.
Conner: Ever.

I have way too much to be thankful for.
Yesterday was Thanksgiving.
And me, being me, never ended up getting a picture of the Turkey. Go figure.
‘Oh yeah, don’t worry 9-year-old child. I’ll handle the veggie platter. I’ll give you something easy. Like Deviled Eggs.”
My mother & I at 10AM. No make-up. No showers. No hairbrush. YUM!
However, this precious girl doesn’t need...
Where the hell did my baby go!?
Last night, Nic brought over my absolutely gorgeous new nephew, Jordan Matthew-Lee VanDuisen.
We all passed him around. Nic went outside to have a cigarette and Ashley was holding him and he started to cry. So, I grabbed him, tried burping him: No success on Operation: Stop Baby Cry. But then I saw that he was sucking on his hand. “Oh! You’re hungry!” So, I grabbed his...

Inspiration can be found anywhere.
luuuuucyy:
When I was five years old my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. when i went to school, they asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up. i wrote down “happy” they told me i didn’t understand the assignment, & i told them they didn’t understand life.
Isn’t it strange how you don’t have to read an entire book or a 47 paragraph blog to be inspired?...

Trick-or-Treating with 5-yr-old > Sluttin' it up...
Halloween was yesterday.
Husband’s work decided to let the one young guy with kids work closing shift on Halloween, as opposed to making ANY of the other people his age (and older!) WITHOUT kids work on Halloween. So, we decided that Halloween is more for the kids. And since Daddy wasn’t going to be able to go with, we decided to do whatever would make the kids most happy. My...

Sometime I draw, I guess.
I just want to start out by saying that I, in no way, consider myself an “artist”. I actually NEVER draw. Ever. I absolutely do not think that I can draw THAT well. I mean, I know I’m not shitty at it, but there are people out there with an actual talent. I just know how to scratch a few lines together with my children’s set of 64 mini Crayola Markers.
But I figured since...
You're gunna have alot of explaining to do when...
I’ve been house-searching my little heart out because, literally, within DAYS of moving into our new house, my new landlord got a call from my old Property Management (because we put them down as our ‘Rental History’ because, come on, we lived there for 2 years and were fantastic tenants)… Well, I’ll quote Kristy Munkres (who also lived in the same apartment complex):...
I definitely chose the right sperm to breed with.
I was looking for my Father-In-Law, David Knibbe, on Facebook. Two of them showed up with mutual friends. One, I recognized immediately as my amazing, outrageous, offensive, loving, ridiculously charming Father-In-Law. The second, however, I didn’t. I looked at our mutual friends and my Sister-In-Law, my new Oma & Opa. Oh, that’s “Grandma” and “Grandpa” in...
Science Experiments gone wrong.
Apparently Saturdays have turned into “Activity Day”. Last Saturday, Conner and I made cookies. THIS Saturday, we did science experiments.
SIDENOTE: I bought this Science Experiment kit (complete with 10 experiments for kids 4+, test tubes, beakers, water dropper, etc & ALL the ingredients needed) from TJ Maxx for $7 DOLLARS. I was always under the impression that TJ Maxx was just...
“When I go to Heaven, I’m going to ride on Tigers. Because Tigers...”

"You're having a bad week? Well, that's life!"
That’s a bullshit reason.
Just sayin’.
Crazy times in CrazyVille.
My cousin/brother (I know that combination probably gives off a sort of “incest” vibe. But it’s the only word I can think of that really explains us. Because we’re technically cousins. But we were raised like brother & sister, as in: In the same house. Our bedrooms were right next to one another. Had the same authoritative figure whooping our asses, etc.) Nic and I went...
No good deed goes unpunished.
Literally.
Everyone ready for a TMI story? What am I thinking? Everyone loves TMI stories.
So, for the last few months all Husband and I have been doing is fighting. Constantly. It started a little before our 2 year marriage anniversary. (We’ve been married for over 2 years, you guys. WOW.) We had a HUGE blow out fight on our anniversary. Which made it even worse for me because...
“If Twitter were a man, you’d let him touch you wherever he wanted.”

Family Photoshoot.
Love, love, love.
Because my best friend moved to fucking LA.
Thus he missed the prettiest storm in Washington this year.
I figure if I moan, bitch & post enough pretty pictures that he might come back. Because he owes me a goodbye hug that he never gave me before he left. (But that story is for another time— err, blog. ERR, Tumblr blog? Tumblog? What the hell is a blog on Tumblr called?!)
Rain by the bucketfuls.
I hear people in LA...
The weekends are Mommy-Son time.
Charlie is at my Mother-In-Law’s for the weekend. I like when she goes there because, not only do I get a break from repeating,
“Pretty hair? Yes. You have pretty hair, Charlie. Your doll has pretty hair? Yes, she does. Oh, you think YOUR hair is pretty? Yes, you have pretty hair, Char. Aww, so does your doll! Yes, hunny, she has pretty hair! Oh, so do you!”
But that...

Tumblr: The next step in my social networking...
If I could melt down and inject all these social websites,
I’d have probably overdosed by now.
