Ten Things

CornFedMama has requested to know these 10 things, so Im gonna play along. I need the therapy right now too.

For today's Ten Things, Id like to learn more about my friends. Copy and paste the following questions into the comments or do a post on your blog.


1. Where in the world are you? central Florida

2. What is the first thing you do when you wake up? check KC, let the dogs outside, get a morning breath smooch from the hubby

3. Where have you vacationed? Disney(you never wouldve guessed that), Colorado, Tennessee, N. Carolina, Virgina, Maryland, Minnesota, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Wyoming, & Montana. I have never been outside of the US not even on a cruise.

4. Do you have pets? I have 2 Boxers Buster & Bambi

5. What do you think is your best asset? I would say my ability to read people, I can usually tell alot about people within the first few moments of interacting with someone. Then again I have been wrong a couple of times, but Ive been right about more people than not. My hubby said my ghetto booty, theres a mans reply for you.

6. What do you feel is the best asset in someone else? Honesty, I hate hate hate fake people. People that say things or act certain ways depending on who they are with or in front of. Who cares if you drive a Benz, or live in a fancy house. Just act like yourself not something you want to be.

7. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Yikes, I'll be 39 and thats kinda scary to think about. Hopefully we will be financially secure so by 50 we'll be swinging on our porch in the mountains. Id like to have atleast 1 more maybe 2 kids. Just healthy & happy! Notice there was no mention of the word "fat" in that lil saying.

8. Do you have a talent? I can pick up things and pinch the fire out of anyone with my toes. I dont know how much talent that takes but Im getting to sleepy to think about it.

9. If you could ask God anything, what would it be? When my life on earth will be over. Its kind of a double edged sword, but I would want to know.

10. What do you do with your days? I get to spend my days with the cutest baby boy ever! We have so much fun, and I treasure these moments with him while he is so young. I know that I havent missed out on him growing & changing in these first few years. Then theres the cleaning, cooking, laundry, and all the rest of the daily household chores that keep me busy when KC doesnt.

I'd like to learn 10 things about you!! Copy this for your own post or paste your answers in the comments.

What I have been doing all day

This is what I made for Nannys memorial service in the morning. It took me all day long and finally after trying a few different programs I used Scrapblog. Thanks again Sneaky Momma for introducing me to this cool place! I got KC the cutest outfit from TCP (The Childrens Place) I will take some pictures to show everyone.

Everyone is doing as well as can be expected during a time like this, and I appreciate the sweet comments and prayers.

Prayers for Nanny

Please say a prayer for my hubbys family, his Nanny (moms mom) passed away just a few moments ago. She was 90 years old and had really gone downhill fast since September. She was in & out of the hospital a few times and had to move into a rehab facility. We went and saw her on Sunday morning and she was doing ok and she really enjoyed seeing KC. She lived 3 doors down from us until moving to the rehab place, and after KC was born we always went for walks to see Nanny. She made the BEST homemade strawberry jam, and good chicken & dumplings too! KAS spent alot of time with Nanny to, she used to pick KAS up from school every Monday and Wednesday until she decided she couldnt drive anymore in May of last year. KAS even has Nannys middle name. Nanny had 1 daughter, 3 grandsons, and 3 great-grandkids and they were all her pride & joy! Nanny will be dearly missed by every member of our family, but we know shes in a better place.


This is KAS, Nanny, KC, and Syd at Nanny's 90th suprise birthday in Nov.


This is Nanny & KC the day we came home from the hospital. Since she lived a few house from our we stopped to see her before we went home.

Wordless Wednesday

Wednesday for another 41 minutes...better late than never.

Houston we have a MAJOR problem!

Ok Im mortified, disgusted, pissed, and many other ed words. We have just discovered we have a lice outbreak under our roof! EWWWWWWWWWWWWE! My hubbys cousins daughter came over and spent the night with KAS a few weekends ago and she had head lice. Now KAS has it, my mom came over and checked me and oh YUCK I have it. Hubby also has it and I dont think KC has it but Im going to check him when hes asleep when hes actually still. KAS uses my brush when shes here so that why I have it, Im so grossed out! I cant stop itching my head now, and the hubby is going nutso too. I think he is officially shaving all facial hair, so thats a bonus for me ha! Im really mad becuase I had to go to CVS and spend $62.00 and RID spray & shampoo to treat everything, and Im now doing Sundays laundry all over again. This is NOT the first time she has given KAS head lice either, the last time the rest of us were lucky. I think babies under 2 can not be treated at all so Im praying that KC doesnt have them. Im off to treat hubbys hair and then shave it all off, me...I have a 8:30am appt. with my friend that does my hair shes going to treat it and then give me some dye or bleach or acid to make sure those little bugs die a very rapid death!

Ok now that I have shared my dirty little secret, I know you are sitting there scratching your head now arent you.?

Ugggh I feel so icky!

Long overdue Thanks!

Check out my ancient Thank you over here! Since it takes me forever to complete something these days.

Ecspecially you Sneaky Momma!

Not Me Monday

I did not work out a total of 5 days this past week, I did not burn a total of 1,103 calories on the elliptical machine I now spend what adds up to hours on. I did not do a 13 minute ab workout everyday from the "on demand" from the tv, and on day number 2 I did not so wanna die. It did not hurt to laugh, it did not hurt to sneeze, or cough, or move for that matter! It was not rewarding on day number 5 to feel alive again, and ready to conquer program number 5 on my new sleek black framed friend. It was not me who hit the stop button 7 minutes in to tap out and decided to just leave it on manual for the duration of my workout.

Speaking of tap out, my hubby did not call me away from cooking dinner Thursday night to look at his latest discovery on you tube, Gina Carano a women's MMA fighter that will drop just about any guy I can think of. Shes not someone to piss off, thats for sure!

I did not drop KC of at Gigi's house (my mom) yesterday all afternoon so I could do some shopping and roaming by myself. It was not nice at all to be all alone for several hours doing exactly what I wanted to do. You know, Toys R Us, WalMart, exactly what I wanted to be doing! HA! We did not stay for dinner at my moms for rice & beef tips, homemade cornbread, black eyed peas, and squash! I so did not eat a second helping on the one day of the week I allow myself to eat anything I want to! That and my grande Starbucks did not total the calories I worked off this week either did it?

KC did not learn how to finally climb on the couch of by himself, he immediately did not walk right off the couch and face plant the floor. He did not learn his lesson and climb right back up and then slide down on his tummy like his should do.

My hubby and his oldest brother did not spend all of Thursday and Friday being mad at each other and acting like 15 year olds. They were not at all standing in our front yard shouting ugly things at each other over a friggin septic tank! They were not back to speaking and ribbing each other like normal by Saturday. Not normal behaviour from my 39 yr old hubby and 45 yr old BIL!

Well that was a few of my highlights from the week, now off to start some more! Head over to MckMama to check out more Not Me Mondays!

Heres a few photos:

BIL #2 (the 43 yo, middle), BIL #1 (the 45 yo, oldest), KC, (hubby, 39 yo, baby)

So does KC carry the hubbys genes or what? This is from KC 1st birthday party and he wasnt feeling good poor guy.
