Whirlwind of a week/weekend…  Since PC has been gone it kind of rolled into one, it felt like anyways.  So what you get is bullet points.  Bc that is how my brain is working at this moment.

*LP had a sleep over with her best friend Friday.  Which meant I had a date with a 6yro little boy.   We did it up right with pizza and a movie.

*We also spent the afternoon at our kick ass park (which is btw, THE. BEST. PARK. EVER!).  Super fun but my allergies bitched me out something fierce later that night.  As in a full blown histamine attack.  Greeeeaaaat.

*I’d made plans to party like a rockstar get together with my sister Saturday night.  Ice cold draft beer from her birthday kegerator, Patron, Capriana’s…..hello 3:00 am (lol) Ah….perfect recipe for drunk gossiping, drunk texting, drunk flirting….aaaand an awesome hang over the next morning.  Kuddos to sis’s husband that he got up with the 5 kiddos so we could sleep in.

*Word of advice.  When you have a deep cut on your hand, say near your thumb, you know right near where you would apply salt for a tequila shot….even though you’re pretty sure it only works on your right hand…  Perhaps listen to your sisters advice and try to switch hands.  You know, for that one thing.  (OUCH)

*Sunday after the Patron and Brazilian Rum haze had lifted, the kiddos, Phoebe and I spent the afternoon at our fabulous park enjoying the sunshine.  The way our spring weather has been, gotta take advantage of it while we can!

*Fabulous afternoon at the park btw, meant another histamine attack before we even made it back home.

*I think I’ve figured out how to manage my allergies.  Clariton, combined with routine doses of Sudafed and me not stepping foot outside seem to work fabulously.  You can see where there seems to be a slight snag with this solution….  *GROAN*

*Oh.  And discovered that if Yummy was Superman and had a Kyrptonite, it would be Brazilian Rum  *ahem*.  On the plus side, we’ve had some very good conversations recently.  And discussed some very….interesting and exciting ‘ideas’.   Vegas, threesomes…..oh my. *wicked grin*

******

So, finally gave PC the go ahead/told him to do something we’ve been talking about for quite awhile now.  We both liked the ‘idea’ of… him becoming a boytoy this little experiment.  We all know that sometimes ideas sound better than they actually are.   BUT we also know that sometimes they are even better in real life (you know like Yummy ~wink wink~).  You never really know though until you take the leap.  And you wonder…if it will be a situation of ‘careful what you wish for’.  Damn I’m being cryptic.  Sorry but for the time being, while we see how things go, this is all I have to share.

******

That’s it for now.  Enjoy your Monday…..

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat…..

PC wants to change cell phone service.  Me and change?  Yeah…we’re not friends so much.  Don’t ask me why the idea of change makes my anxiety shoot through the roof. But a new phone means I need to learn all it’s NEW features.  And a new service means I may or may not get as shitty coverage as I do already (can’t call it great when I can send/receive texts and emails in three spots in my entire house… *lol*).  I did finally agree to *try* a new phone with the new service.  Everyone on FB has heard me gripe, but I’m not sure I’ve mentioned here….  Last weekend my BlackBerry decided to stop working very reliably.  So the talk of a new phone was already in the midst.  Anyway, long story short.  While I had high hopes of pretending to be someone I’m so totally not trying something new and different that I might possibly fall in love with, I ended up with another BlackBerry.  But the newer, improved version which replaced the trackball with a trackpad.  At least I can take comfort in knowing how the thing works.  Now just wish me luck with the service…..

I’m thinking it might be a bit weird that the movie Jennifer’s Body turns me on as much as it does.  I mean Megan Fox is hotter than fuck but she’s awful….demonic and evil.  And not high school evil, evil EVIL.  But seriously, watching Jennifer’s Body is like porn to me.  GOOD porn.  Hmm…..

I’ve been considering changing my avatar.  For almost five years I’ve had the same avatar. I think people identify and recognize ‘me’ when they see the little pink plaid skirt in their comments.  But sometimes change is good, no?  I have a pic in mind, from the  “Rock n Roll Princess” series.  Thoughts????

YM is being deployed to Afghanistan this week, for the next eight months.  It saddens me. On several levels.  Over the last few months we’ve become great friends, of sorts, more than anything else.  I will miss him.  He really wanted to see me before he left.  But.  I shied away.  I had really no interest on that level.  I feel kind of badly I guess about that.  I just didn’t want to.  I know it has quite a bit to do with Yummy (or as PC likes to tease me, ‘Ashton’, doh).  My plate feels fairly complete right now….with PC, with Yummy (whom there is this awesome ‘click’ with and I’m liking an awful lot).  But still, him leaving is laying heavily on my mind.  My heart goes out to his family.

******

Kiddos have the entire week off for Spring Break.  So far it seems the weather might actually hold out and be nice.  Which will certainly make entertaining them MUCH easier.  Still, doesn’t stop me from wishing we were spending the week in California soaking up Roxy’s sun.  ~wink~

As you’ve noticed, these are thumbnails.  And true to thumbnails, you only are catching a glimpse of the true picture. I do this purposely, bc I want you to GO visit them.  GO see their actual, full size pictures, if you haven’t already, show them some love!

Elle…Kink Unleashed…..  LOVE LOVE LOVE this pic.  Very creative and artsy.  Her BoyToy is standing above her taking the shot and it’s fucking hotter than hell.


Emmy…Right Turn Without Signaling…..  I know my mind was filled with fantastic possibilities after viewing this ~wink~

Evening…In The Light Of Day….. Her blog is private but, if you hadn’t guessed it, she’s MG over at Os’s site.  AND a birthday girl!  I’ve said it many times before but I’ll say it again- this girl ROCKS.  I can only aspire to be half the woman she is.  Seriously.  ROCKS.

We had a snow day this past week.  70 degrees Monday.  Drizzle at noon on Tuesday which turned into heavy, wet spring snow within the hour.  It DUMPED.  That’s spring for ya.  Here anyways. I knew school would be canceled. I actually went away for the night.  Was surprised by a text from Yummy half way through the day.  A text with an invite….that I wasn’t going to pass up.  Patron and a hotel room.  Mmmm….  See?!  *grins*  Anyway, so being the rockin’ husband and good dad that PC is, he dealt with the kiddos and the snow.  And calling the school cancellation phone line I’d left him the number for.  And getting the kiddos to the bus.  Which never came.  Bc despite the hot line NOT being updated, school really was canceled.  Doh.  But hey, by noon it was sun-shiney and quickly melting.  Told ya, SPRING!

I know I keep teasing about it, and have dropped hints/pics as the week has progressed but fuck, I’ve been a bit busy recuperating playing catch up.  It will post the big recap from Roxy’s birthday get away this weekend, I promise!

In the meantime, it’s my other most favoritest girl in the whole wide world’s birthday.  My sister!  She’s my confidant, partner in crime, fellow lover of Coors Light AND the person who feeds my shoe obsession.  Haha! 

******

It’s the weekend and the first official day of the kiddos spring break.  Please oh please let the weather hold out so I can entertain them outdoors more so than INDOORS, or even more so…be stuck at home!

• Child puking all night= mom up with child puking all night (sigh).
• Oh. so. tired.
• Husband is sick too.
• Bought my first Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal from McD’s.
• Ha!  SO TOTALLY not for myself.  What sick husband wants, sick husband gets. (Hey! I don’t completely suck)
• Was worried what the lady in the drive thru would think of me.  That’s pathetic, isn’t it? Do meat eaters judge people like that.  (do they????)

• Parents are heartbroken for her.
• Parents do the most sensible thing….
• Buy child a puppy.
• (shut up)
• Vixen breaks down and asks husband to buy her a …*choke*…  artificial tree. (I will miss a freshly cut tree, but not the hassles associated with it… OCD people want to do things when they want to do them.  Damnit.)

• Male child is grumpy. disruptive. loud. grumpy. pouty. grumpy….

Both kiddos had their first soccer games this weekend.  Which leads me to my next thought.  WTF is up with some parents?!?!  There should be a ‘parents must refrain from being asshats’ disclosure before you can attend any of your kids games.  Seriously.  PC and I decided to tag team the kids games this wkend and bwtn the things he overheard and the parents I had to deal with, it makes me question why we encouraged our kids to even be in organized sports.  We are talking about 10 and 6 year olds here.  Gah…  I can guarantee you that if anyone makes nasty ass comments about our kids like they were to some of the other kids, shit is going to go down.  Ridicilousness I’m telling you.

PC had a pretty good birthday I think, despite both of us being sick all weekend.  He treated us to Starbucks, which has become a nice thing to look forward to on Sundays.  Yes, yes, I know, HE should have been treated but YOU try telling him no when he insists on something at 7am  (lol).  LP threw him a tea party.  She had been planning it for over a week and was beyond estatic to do that for him.  Awww…. (Hehe)  I don’t have pictures of that.  BUT what I was fortunate to get a picture of was dinner at Hooters when the girls made him climb up on a chair and shake his tail feathers.  Anyone who remembers his bday downtown two years ago, can recall him attempting to chug beer and hoola hoop at Coyote Ugly.  As he puts it- his hips are directly connected to his shoulders, so he doesn’t have much wiggle to his hips.  *snort*  Still horribly cute to see.  And the best part was that he played along in the first place.  ~wink~

Stunning photos this week.  I fell in love with so many of them.

hh the h & Sue…..  The composition and lighting makes this photo so professional feeling.  Beautifully done.

Archetype of the Temptress…The Temptress…..  Sensual and very professional.


Willful Damage…Elle…..  In *LOVE* with the colors used, it gives the lace such a feminine pretty feel.  And yes, yes….there is fantastic cleavage.


Scintillectual….. She’s been here before, under a different name.  Please go check her out and become reaquinted with her.  I love this angle.  I’m quite fond of this angle, I use it myself fairly often (I’m sure you’ve noticed, lol).  I’m diggin’ the cleavage, with such pretty lace and then the boots. You MUST click her link to see her boots better.  They are T.D.F.


Miss Sexie Sadie…..  Who’s NOT for Sadie taking off her panties?!  (*wink*) Shoes are pretty killer too.


Diana…..  See?  Again the angle!  Not to mention the fishnet thigh highs.


Amorous Rocker….. The seductiveness of this photo kills me.  ME-OW!

Just bc I told you about them here, doesn’t mean I don’t want you to click on them for yourself.  If you happened to miss any of them GO THERE NOW.  I provided links to give them credit and so you could go visit them too.

Mick spent the entire day Wednesday at the vet.  Running diagnostics…more blood tests, more xrays…….  Attempting to rule out new ideas of what might be going on.  Everything turned up ‘normal’.  So he’s home on drugs to help him feel better.  And is slowly improving.  Which is great and such a huge relief.  But it still doesn’t answer the big question of *WHY* and *WHAT*.  …:::sigh:::…  At least he’s getting better (again).

Kiddos are still sick but seem to be getting better.  Fucking nasty bug that got them.  In the grand scheme of things, they are usually fairly healthy.  Hopefully this was their bodies way of building it’s immunities back up from the summer break.  Poor muffins.

“I need to know that you’re ok“

“For months that is all anyone has wondered about me, is if I’ll be ok“

“What do you tell them?“

“That I’ll be ok”

“Do you ever mean it?“

“Ask me tomorrow…..“

I’m ok.

Thanks everyone who dropped by Wednesday to offer their support.  It meant a lot.  I was in a super shitty headspace.  Blech.  I get like that sometimes and it’s so difficult to put the breaks on.  But PC is home again (happy sigh) and despite being sick myself now (figures, no?!), am doing much better *mentally*.  Which is most important for me to function.  It’s amazing what cold medicine, rest and sex do for a girl. ~wink~

Anyone else besides Roxy and I hooked on the new vampire series?!  The Vampire Diaries.  It’s Dawson Creek meets True Blood.  It’s awesome!  Oh, and they used my word….  Asshat.  Hehe *smirk*

TGIF baby!  Our weekends for the next month and a half consist of 8am soccer games.  Starbucks here I come… Ha!

Most of the time I feel as if I have a handle on LIFE.  That I can rock the mom/wife gig fairly ok.  It’s what I *DO*!  I have my daily routine with the kids, the animals, PC, my life.  I LIVE for routines and schedules.  I do feel as I get older more settled in life I am able to be a bit more spontaneous and deal with changes a bit better than I used to.  If we have to deviate from our ‘normalcy’ once in awhile I take those changes in better stride than I might have used to.

But then, there are days like this week.  Where nothing goes as planned.  Where I haven’t gotten a good nights sleep in days.  Bc of anxiety ridden dreams that who knows where in the hell they are coming from.  A sick child up one night.  A different sick child up the next night.  One coughing so hard it makes *me* hurt.  The other unable to sleep bc of such a bad headache.  So one stays home for two days.  Meanwhile the other childs schedule of school and soccer doesn’t provide leniency for a sick sibling.  Then.  To only, truly test my sanity, my dog that I love just about as much as my children….  The one that was sick over the summer….  Is sick again.  Same symptoms, only 10x worse then before (who knew that was even possible). It was determined before to be bacterial hepatitis.  This will be bout #4.  I’m…a mess.

And the person I lean on, that I really need a hug from, has been away on business.  Figures, no?

I guess nothing beer…  And sex… won’t fix.  Temporarily.

Welp.  The kiddos went back to school on Wednesday.  This is the first year that they both will be in school the entire day (last year LM was in half day Kindergarten).  This means I have my entire day to myself.  For now anyways.  Wow.  I’m still adjusting to that aspect.  I have enjoyed running an extended five miles (compared to my normal 3) in our mild morning temps and listening to my new running playlist that consists of Snow Patrol and Linkin Park.  I’ll definitely be volunteering in both kiddos classrooms.  It’s something I enjoy and want to take advantage of since I can.  Maybe I might even consider finding a part time job.  Although that seems scary when my resume from the last ten years consists of kids and animals.  *sigh*  But it’s something I’m thinking about.  We shall see.  I have choices now with what to do with my time, right? 

It’s also that time of year again for the HUGE children’s consignment sale that comes to our fair barn twice a year.  I was much better prepared than last spring.  What a cluster fuck that was.  But I did find it well worth it for the money I made!  Wish me luck on my earnings this time around.  I’ve already taken the kids to the pre-sale and made out quite nicely on my findings.  Booyah!

Anywho.  Hope everyone has a kick ass wkend. I’m looking forward to a margarita (or two!) and a beer (or twelve!), *LOL*

TGIF!

Had a fucking *AWESOME* weekend.  The weather was finally nice and held out the. entire. weekend. We totally lucked out.  Sunny, warm, comfortable….  Sun. Sun. Sun.  Yay!  

Saturday we headed down South to the Renaissance Festival. 

It’s something we do every summer but with such a whirlwind of a schedule it was almost on it’s way out.  It’s a long ass drive up there but we always have such a good time.  Good people watching.  ~grins~ 

This time was even more fun bc we ran into TUG and his family.  They moved here earlier in the summer and we’d hoped to meet up at the Festival but weren’t sure it would work out.  Fortunately it did.  His wife is a knock-out and TUG’s not so bad himself ~wink~  Their kiddos were beyond adorable.  His son and LM hit it right off.  It was quite cute.

(sorry, this is as good as you get so that TUG can keep his anonymity)

Sunday was PC’s and mine anniversary and it was the best ever. He completely spoiled/pampered me……  Waking me up with kisses, roses and the sweetest card ever.  Then Starbucks in bed.  Amazingly hot and steamy daytime ‘fun’ ~wink wink~.  New pretty toes at our favorite nail place (I got polka dots!).  And then he surprised me with dinner at Benihana’s.  YUM.  He makes my heart go pitter patter.  The day was most definitely *SIGH* worthy. 

Hope all of YOU had a kick ass weekend as well!

Happy Monday!!!

(click the button for more info, email me if you have any great ideas for a topic, I’d love tho hear from you!)

There’s a couple, Jim and Angela.  Both have been previously married.  Jim has two children with his ex wife, a boy and a girl (8 and 12).  Jim had a vasectomy after his divorce.  Fast forward, Jim met Angela and they got married two years ago.  They discussed the idea of children before they were married.  Jim is happy with the children he has.  He doesn’t want to start over from the beginning.  Angela doesn’t have any children and was hoping after they were married that Jim would change his mind and have a reversal of the vasectomy. 

Jim is still saying no, reversals have a 50% success rate (according to his research).  His children are out of the diaper/high maintenance stage.  He has a girl and a boy.  He’s *content*.  She is not so much.  And is now disappointed that he won’t jump on board with her baby dreams.  In the back of her mind she had her hopes up that she would be able to convince him to change his mind.

Isn’t this kind of a typical woman thing to do?  The ‘no means maybe’ mindset. 

There have been several times in my life that I have wanted something badly enough that I would have done whatever it took to make happen.  And believed if I wanted it badly enough a- ‘no’ would change to a maybe or even better, a YES.  Having my son saved me from the deep depression I’d fallen into following two devastating late term miscarriages.  Us *not*  having another baby wasn’t an option in my mind.  But there have also been times I’ve come to realize what I was fighting for wasn’t what we both wanted and no matter how badly I wanted it, it wasn’t enough….  While still married to my ex, I had my head wrapped around a 3rd baby.  I wanted nothing more.  Obsessed.  My ex was wishy washy.  One moment he was on board, the next he wasn’t.  In the end it was for the best that I wasn’t able to convince him bc babies don’t fix marriages.  And ours was broken beyond repair. 

Anyway.  What do you think?  I can see her side, can understand her believing she would be able to eventually convince him to change his mind.  Can understand and see how and why she would want a child/children with the man she is in love with and married.  Then being very disappointed and hurt when she realized she wasn’t able to convince him.  And I can see his side.  He said no.  He was clear before they were married that he was done.  I guess, whether it be bc I’m a female as well (who is remarried and has toyed with the idea of a baby numerous times myself) or I just ‘get’ her…… I do feel for her.

What is your opinion, I’m interested in both guys and girls answers, to see if they differ much.

Happy HUMP Day!!!
