TMI .. Wait New Topic ... A Call You Would Rather Not Get.

Okay I was all ready to BLOG about my mole removal incident with Dr. Handsome and then I get a phone call.

The number on the phone appeared as 1-416-000-0000. So naturally think it's a telemarketer (even though I signed up for the DO NOT call list), so I don't pick up. But they leave a message ... weird ... telemarketer leaving a message? Strange, so I go listen.

It's NO telemarketer it's a product recall from Costco due to .... SALMONELLA!!!!! Ya, seriously I guess the protein bars I bought we recalled by the manufacturer because some of the nuts may contain salmonella. Yikes!!

I guess it's a good thing Costco has on record everything that we buy. Instead of Big Brother watching, maybe it's Big Brother watching out.

BTW - they were Detour Protein bars with a best before date prior to Feb 2010. Check out their website if you need further info. http://www.giantfoodstores.com/shareddev/prodrecall/

And yes that is a pic of me in case your all wondering.

I Am Living My Life Vicariously Through My Children.

Remember these? Well, I do! I remember looking through them hoping and praying that my mom would buy me a book. But never such luck, NEVER! Oh, how I longed for just one book. I promised myself when I was a grown up I would totally buy them for my kid. ( I am pretty sure I said totally too - you know the 80's). And now that I am all grown up it is a promise that I have kept. Not like those silly old promises 'when I grow up I will never yell at my kids.'
My fav day is book order day. I look through it first, then let Ethan look through it circle what he wants, and then I choose a book for him, so he's all excited and surprised when he actually gets the book.
Ahh book order day.

Here's Me Being Positive :)

Okay, I don't know about where you live but up here, way up here it is freakin' freezing. We're goin' on 4 weeks now of a -20 to -35 degree deep freeze. I am going to shot myself if I don't find something good about winter. So here it goes ...

(None of these were taken by me - are you kidding, that would mean I would have to go outside.)

I guess if those little baby penguins can survive then so can I . . . WHAT? some of them die due to exposure . . . Oh, geez, there goes my theory.

But let's be serious as pretty and as beautiful as those were ...

I'd rather be here!

Livin' The Life of Leisure

I don't know if I can have anymore kids. Not for medical reason, but laziness reasons. Having 2 kids that can get themselves up in the morning, including getting themselves dressed and getting a snack, makes it hard to get pregnant again knowing full well all the work that I will have to do. Getting up in the middle of the night and getting up with the kid in the morning. Not to mention all the other work a baby requires, and I am not even talking about the delivery!

I love my kids more and more as they get older and the thought of a new baby, Yikes! I do want more kids so I guess I gotta psych myself up.

Can't get enough!

I only have limited time for this blog. It's 9:45am and my kids want breakfast... geez I am blogging leave me ALONE! In all fairness this is their second breakfast, Bart fed them before he went to work, while I was sleeping. I led a charmed life.

OK, but the reason for my post.

Joshua James. Love him!

30 and Feelin' Fine!

Okay, I know this should have been posted last post but I just wanted to make sure that the day after I turned 30 I didn't suddenly need a walker and my family didn't put me in a home. Because if they did, I would NOT have titled this post '30 and Feelin' Fine'. Maybe it would have been '30 and Super Pissed'.
In all seriousness being 30 years old is great. I am healthier than I have ever been, I have more energy and now a little more money to do the things I now have energy for (can you follow that?), and my temper is just starting to balance itself out. This past week 1 out of 3 opportunities I didn't lose it on someone who deserved it. - I am not talking about my kids, I try to keep it together, even if they deserve it. I am talking about perfect strangers that are rude and asking for it. I can't get into the stories they just rile me up and remind me that maybe I should have said more and I start thinking that I should go back to that store and give the lady a piece of my mind. OK - maybe my temper hasn't changed at all, but the first couple of things are definitely true. I realized a few years ago that every stage of your life has good and bad. I would never want to go back to high school - living with my parents, not having a car or money. But I would never trade all the good times for anything.

Maybe I'm Glad I had Kids

Sweetest thing ever. Makes me happy that I had kids.
I says (that's right says) to Ethan last night while we were snuggling before bed (also a good reason to have kids)
"If you could have anything in the whole world what would you have" I thought he would say some sort of vehicle, but instead he said
"I would have mommy."
Almost makes me want to stop the yelling and beating...almost.
