Topaz…..as I told her earlier, this causes my mind to reel.  The bit of long hair, the necklaces, the wisp of material covering, that ‘sweet’ spot her cleavage creates, ok yes, and the FRISKY ink….sensory overload.  And in a good way.

The Reluctant Princess…..wine.  bath.  bubbles.  She had me at hello, er um, her in the tub.  ~wink~

Barefoot Dreamer….. and NO it’s not just bc seeing her texts/IMs/FBmsgs, etc give me butterflies and draw up thoughts of pushing her back up against a wall in a dark corner and doing very bad things to her….her photography and pictures are amazing

If you haven’t done so already- hit the girls up!

Who would have thought my kiddos going back to school would actually cause me to be busier than I was when they were out.  Good lord, the blur of craziness the last couple week have been for me!  I think I might catch a break the middle of next week and actually be able to breathe again.  Part of the issue is that the HUGE children consignment sale that comes twice a year happened to fall the week after school resumed.  I always consign/participate and it’s a ridiculous amount of work.  But thankfully, always pays off, making it worthwhile.  Add in the mix, two separate parent nights (one for each kiddo), a very pregnant Daisy dog, household upkeep, a self created To-Do list….  Honestly.  The last two weeks have been such a blur I don’t even know what day it is barely.

Anyway.  Speaking of parent night. I have mentioned my kids school PTA in previous posts.  We live in a tiny town.  They dynamics of our PTA is….um….well, reminds me of high school.  A group of cliquey, catty, snarky women.  There are those that are PTA moms and then those of us that ‘are not’.  And it’s a very clear line.  At first I tried to pretend it was in my head.  But uh, no.  I could give you scenario after scenario.  Whatever.  It’s a whatever.   *rolling eyes*  I just do my thing and pretend to play nicey nice to get by.  I enjoy volunteering at the school, in the classrooms and I’m not going to let wanna be high school girls trying to re-enact the movie Heathers fuck that up. 

So the first night went down drama free, with out incident (other than the usual BS).

The second night however…  Whoa. I have officially met the. biggest. asshat. EVER.  From the beginning of the evening the man (father of some poor child) was a complete ass- being belligerent, rude, highly inappropriate and quite obviously had a massive chip on his shoulder regarding….  teachers?  parents?  schools?  school systems in general?  the human race????  I couldn’t even begin to recount what took place but a mini-riot ensued.  Seriously.  It was insane.  I do not handle confrontation well at all and my anxiety was through the roof.  I pity not only the child of that person but also the poor, poor teacher that will have to deal with that parent for the entire school year.  Gah….

So there you go.  It’s Friday!  Time to decompress and let loose.

The kiddos go back to school next week.  I had fabulous plans of spending a few more days soaking up some sun before the pool closed (sun goddess—>ME), had promised them a day at the water park in Six Flags, the splash pad at the park….  All of which were thrown out the window when LP continued to spike a fever between 100-103 (plus…), wavering between the appearance of death smeared on toast and being backed over (several times) by a Mack truck.  The poor thing had been sick since the previous week.  Just when I thought she was perking up, her fever would spike and she’d visibly go down hill again.  A trip to the Dr…..she has pneumonia.  Hell of a way to spend your last hoorah before going back to school.  The ladies in the Dr’s office were perplexed to see things like the stomach flu and pneumonia during the summer months (both of which my children have been plagued with this summer).  So while one child was incredibly sick.  The other grew incredibly bored bouncing off the walls with more and more ants in his pants (which I can’t blame him, I don’t do well day in and day out sitting at home, I am my ‘best’ on the go with little down time).

Fun times my friends…..not.

We also had a fun filled weekend with friends that we’ve had to cancel. 

*POUT*

(Side note- I did just find out our pool is ‘extending their weekend hours through Sept 30′…that’s exciting news!  *giddy* Hey!  It’s the little things!)

Also. Is it too late to start counting down to my birthday weekend?  Or um…Vegas?  Don’t be surprised if you see a counter go up in my side bar.  Soon. I am that excited!

*remember…..free spirit….hate to be cooped up*

The stars have all aligned for me recently.  Things are so perfectly perfect feeling. 

Friday morning I am leaving for a short weekend to Roxy-ville.  It will most likely be my last visit out there for awhile.  This is the time of year she becomes a slave to her job and will be busy, busy, busy.  As if it won’t be bad enough I can’t see her, she’ll be so busy days will go by that I probably won’t even be able to talk to her.  *humpf*  But wait, back to the happy part *giggle*.  And hey, her and Quicksilver are, after all, coming out for my birthday next month to see if we can top last years crazy fun.  Coyote Ugly has possibly recovered from the five us by now.  *wink*

All the necessary arrangements have been finalized for my girls trip this fall to the city that never sleeps (hint, hint).  I’m completely GIDDY with excitement.  And having everything set in stone makes it feel….real!

And.  AND…  I had a sleep over date with Ashton (aka Tall Glass of Yummy).  We haven’t seen each other since the middle of June.  Life gets in the way of fun sometimes (pout).  What can you do, ya know?  It was um, nice (*huge grins*) to spend some time together again. (and don’t think that PC didn’t reap some benefits from it either….*wink*)

Speaking of…  PC and I are doing amazing.  We hit a bit of a rough patch of sorts a bit ago, did some stumbling but are back on track.  Actually better than back on track, we might be doing the best we have been.  We’ve discovered our nitch- which makes us both super happy and we’re having some fabulous fun.

I’m just in a very good place and it all makes me sigh happily.  Love. that!

*****

Anywho.  Have a fantabulous weekend!

I leave you with two ‘not so great-but oh so funny’ pics from my last trip to see Roxy over the 4th of July, debaucherizing the Os Shirt.  Which, um, I think I saw being packed somewhere.  Hmmm….. *wink*

(Yes that is my bikini top AND hat on Quicksilver, yes that means I’m not wearing anything under the Os shirt and yes….Roxy’s got her hands full with that hubby of hers *snort*)

In hindsight. I think I could have named my HNT on Thursday- three tattoos, a bruise and a birth mark.  Don’t ask me why those things stuck out at me so much when I looked at the pic later.  Doh.

Last week after my mini melt down I began taking a low dosage of Progesterone.  What a difference some hormones make!  I definitely was experiencing a deficiency since my surgery.  I’m back on the road to ME ME ME!!!!  *huge sigh of relief* I haven’t had a melt down in almost a week.  That right there makes it worth it, besides the fact it seems to be taking care of all my ‘other’ symptoms as well.

That said though….

I seem to have lost my pep.  I’m not entirely sure what is going on.  I’m not in a funk, definitely not depressed.  Just…lost in thought.  In a weird head space.  I’ve taken some steps back, looked eternally.  Trying to figure out what is going on.  Causing this. 
My best friend notices and asked if I was ok (several times…have I mentioned lately how much I *heart* her?!).  Oh.  Why?  Do I not seem ok?  No- she says.  Hmm…
My husband notices.  Asks if I’m ok.  Asks if it’s something he has done.  Because he wants us to be ok, me to be ok with him.  I am.

I’m fine. (more so emotional and neurotic than anything else) 

No really. I am though.  Sure I’m emotional.  And quiet.  Subdued.  Deep in thought.

I wonder….
The surgery I had 3 months ago was something I put a huge amount of thought into.  It was debated and considered.  I had battled PMDD symptoms combined with ‘other stuff’ for 7 years.  The procedure seemed so perfectly perfect.  And it was (ok, once I was finally back on my feet…the recovery sucked ass).  Until recently.  My concern is…the surgery I had was meant to put these symptoms at bay.  And imagine my glee that is HAS for the last few months.  But now things have sort of come to…where ever it is now.  And I’m not really sure what is going on with me.  Or how to fix it.  *sigh*

*****

Anyways.  It’s the weekend.  I’ve gotten very little sleep this past week.  I’ve kept PC from getting very little sleep this past week.  We’re still working out the kinks of his new work schedule, juggling the stuff he likes to do, the stuff I like to do- things like the gym, Jiu Jitsu, running, friends, sleeping… trying to spend time together with out me keeping him up until 3 am.  Um…yeah…still working on that part, as I said.

Have a great weekend.

Barefoot Dreamer… Really, nothing I can say here isn’t what you aren’t thinking now looking at her pic.  Right?!  Go tell her how fabulous she is.  GO.

Sexie Sadie… Mirror shots are awfully high on my list of *insanely sexy*.  And this one is a car rear view mirror.  Naughty, naughty girl…  *grins*

There was one more but she’s new-ish to HNT and while I have a blanket permission to use most everyone who plays pics, I don’t from her.  So, check out her link.  It’s an incredible shot!

It’s no news (or at least it shouldn’t be, ha!) that I spend a good portion of my summer at the pool with the kiddos.  We have a fabulous pool we go to, as well as the equally fabulous (yet different) one we meet my sister at usually once a week with her kiddos.  My children are fish/dare devils (seriously you should see the thing they can pull off on the diving board, it amazes even me, and I’m their mother!). It’s easy, fun, inexpensive entertainment.

I do a lot of people watching.  Over the last month or so I’ve made some mental notes.

Notes from the pool-

There is a difference between ‘having tattoos’ and turning your body into a walking billboard (and you know I am a HUGE fan of ink).  It seems to be the new trend for the 18-20something crowd to do this to themselves.  Sayings, names, words all in large fancy writing covering their entire chests, legs, backs, across one shoulder to another.  I wonder how much thought was put into their ink and how they will feel about these random slogans later on in life.  Yes there is laser removal….but from what I hear it’s way more painful than any and all tattoos.  Things that make you go, hmm…..

To the rather good looking, very buff man who comes to the pool daily with his toddler daughter…your board shorts should be longer than my 7yro son’s.  Just sayin….  Not that you don’t have nice legs and all but it’s not a good look for you.  Or men in general. 

Bikini bottoms that go up past your navel are out.  No matter how cute your figure….when you pull your bottoms up past your navel, so that your butt cheeks then hang out.  No.  Not ok.

Just graduated high school boys who seem nice enough….until they open their mouths.  And talk smack- loudly- about some chick and one of them being her baby daddy.  The ick spewing from their mouths was crude, rude, and offensive.  Please refrain from opening your mouths.  Excuse me while I find somewhere else to sit in disgust.

Men.  If you have to dig your shorts out out of your ass after getting out of the pool- YOUR SHORTS ARE TOO SMALL.  They should *not* fit like that.  Wrong, wrong, wrong….  *still trying to remove that image from my brain*

To the parents of the seven (-ish) year old wearing water wings… Your child needs swimming lessons.  Not inflatable armwear that make your child look like a dork.  And I’m pretty sure if you look at the specifications of those water wings- they are for toddlers, possibly small preschoolers.  But most definitely not a school aged child weighing 40 plus pounds.  At the very least, buy them a life vest.  That at least might do some good for your child if it’s neccessary.

*****

TGIF…  Have no clue what plans this weekend may hold. I’m feeling as if I owe everyone some pics and possibly some stories from my trip to see Roxy.  It’s been brought up numerous times in comments this last week.  Maybe I’ll try to work on that.  Many of you have also asked about Ashton (aka Yummy…). I guess I have some things to fill you all in on.  In time….

Nominations are open for the 2010 Top Sex Bloggers.  Hop on over to check out the details and nominate your favorite sexy blogs!  (Just remember that there are some specifications- like that you are nominating a *blog* not a blogger, and the blog must be a year-ish old.  Also, the number of times someone’s blog is nominated won’t help the rankings)   Rori is also looking for help with the judging again.  Want to be a sexy judge?  ANYONE can do it!  I enjoyed helping out with the judging last year so much that I volunteered to do it again.  If you would like to help too, go HERE to check out the information on how.  (Judging will be based on numerous things like quality of writing, frequency of posts, etc.)

I know there was some controversy last year regarding this list.  And all I can say is…it’s a list people.  Mainly it’s nice to see a compilation of a bunch of really great bloggers and their blogs.  I know I always discover some great sites I might have not known about before.

It’s been sunshiney fabulous all week (finally!) and my happy meter has been recharged.  Finally was even able to take the top off the Jeep.  LP and I have been be-boppin around listening to Kesha blaring.

Kiddo stuff….
Kiddos and I have been Rock Band playing fools in the last week.  LM insists that I’m ‘awesome’.  To which my sister first about choked on her beer probably and then vehemently disagreed saying she was kind of surprised ‘even LM thought I was good’. *snort* Hey! I’ll take what I can get, and if that’s flattery from a 7yro little boy \- then so be it! Ha!  I mean, don’t we ALL sing awesome (in our heads at least)?!

PC’s son is staying with us for the next month.  It’s fun to have the three kids back together again.  They really get along famously the first week.  *LOL* Actually I think we’re all happy to have a good drum player (Rock Band people…keep up with me). He rocks it on the drums.  *beaming* The weather has been awesome.  So I’ve been entertaining them with pool days and the awesome splash pad park we have.

*****

I’m otherwise boring bc any spare time I have is being spent as the kids cruise director.  I did have plans to go to an outdoor concert of some kind with a super fun friend this weekend, but it seems the beautiful weather I just gushed about is about to ditch us, turning super crappy.  Totally annoying.  *SIGH*
(actually I think Sage willed it on us…he’s been giving me crap lately for ‘stealing’ all his girls.  *humpf* I was only going to BORROW, I mean seriously, we came to an agreement I thought, give the weather back already.  Sheesh! *LOL*)

Hope everyone has a fabulous Friday!

Things change.

I’ve been mulling over a bunch of things. It’s funny that this time last week I was an anxious mess.  So many…‘issues’ were laying heavily on me.  Finally things became too much, PC and I talked them out, made some changes and I think we both walked away feeling much better about the new ‘game plan’ (mainly concerning summer plans that were beginning to overwhelm us both).  So come Monday night…I was sighing heavily with relief (while drinking several margaritas at my favorite place) because so many things had been lifted off my mind, making it possible to breathe again.  Finally able to rid myself of that tightness in my chest that was making it impossible to breathe.

And then *just. like. that*….a variable changed.  As things became simpler for me, they became overwhelmingly more complicated for this other person.  One having nothing to do with the other.  Just timing.

I’m a bit melancholy over these changes.  I have had moments where I was utterly obsessed with the how, the why and whether things could have been done differently.  But I understand.  And such is life. It changes.

On the Banana Rum.  Amazed at how many people either hadn’t heard of it or flat out despised it. Really?!  I’m a HUGE fan of the stuff.  Rum in general, not so much. I’m that lush person that has over-indulged in quite a few liquors over the years to the point that the thought of most of them make me want to puke.  Rum is one of them.  Used to live on the stuff.  Do you have any idea how many different flavors of rum there are?!  Malibu, Vanilla, Spiced, Coconut, Banana….  My favorite of them all that I can still occasionally enjoy- Banana.  If I were to choose a simple pool side drink to be brought by a hot waitress, it would be Banana Rum with Diet Coke.  Mmmm….  It’s pretty much what I lived off of while in Jamaica (bc their already warm-ish beer, drank while sitting in the heat is *pukey*, take my word for it), both times.  YUM.

*****

Thursday was LM’s birthday.  He turned seven.  SEVEN.  Which is like….crazy to me that my youngest is now seven years old….  I jumped through hoops for this kid… medical, life changing ones.  Two devastating miscarriages, three plus months of bedrest, emergency induction at 34weeks, beyond high maintenance- cried unless he was held all. the.time, ruined marriage….  Funny (not in a haha way, but in an ironic one) that the one thing that made my life complete and finally drew me out of the deep depression I had fallen in for over a year… that ultimately ruined my marriage was this child.  BUT I wouldn’t change a moment or choice I made.  It all happened for a reason.  And this reason is him.

*****

Crickets chirping.  Lilacs blooming.  Warm summer nights.  I’m in heaven.  I live for this time of year.  And summer is officially here, I say, despite the crazy ass weather.  Pool is open, Elitches as well, passes to both bought….road trip in just over a week.  Another less than two weeks later.  Summer break has only just began and I feel as if we’ve planned it away.  But with the way the kiddos have been at each others throats this last week, that may not be a bad thing.  A busy, entertained child is one less likely to be driving me to drink.  Oh, shut up, like I need an excuse to drink.  ~wink~

It’s Friday people.  Party like rockstars!
