What do you get...

What do you get when you are alone with 5 kids at a playground and one has to pee really bad? 
A big puddle at the bottom of the slide.
A kid walking really funny on the way to the car.
And a wet ride home.

Thanks to my sister who dealt with the situation very gracefully.

A day without naps

You know those days that seem to last forever? I swear, every time I looked at the clock today, it was three o'clock! The kids did not have naps, which could have been the reason for the long, never ending day, or the fact that I watched my sisters 4 year old twins for a few hours. A few hours with four 4 year olds and a 2 year old will make any day seem like forever. It was kind of like watching TNA wrestling, Super Nanny(before she shows up at the house), and Bloopers all at once. All I wanted to do was change the channel, but couldn't find the stinking remote!

My butt must have some kind of beeper on it, as soon as it hits the chair, a buzzer goes off, it causes all the kids to scream and cry at once. My voice seems to be on mute, I cannot find out how to unmute it and turn the volume up.  My mind is stuck on replay, or it might just be that my kids keep saying and doing the same annoying things over and over and over and over...see? Where is that damn remote?

The one good thing about not having naps, is the early bedtime! Hopefully the kids will be in bed early and I can finally sit down without any buzzing sounds and watch my reality TV. Oh crap, I've got to go find that friggen remote!

Ghosts, rocks and animals...OH MY!

Been busy ghost hunting, rock collecting and saving wild animals. Going to the beach tomorrow with Mom, Sis, friends and 12 kids.  Twelve kids equal...12 buckets...thats alot of rocks! Hopefully there are no baby animals at the beach to follow me home.   L

Silly Things That Scare Me

1. Dust bunnies, they sound cute, but are really NOT.
2. Cat hair tumbleweeds, I know they are only made from a cats fur, but the way they glide across the floor in the slightest of breeze....spooky!
3. Seaweed, you see it from afar, floating without any agenda, a wave comes, you can't get out of the way fast enough. Its suddenly wraped around your leg, trying to drown you in the 2 feet of water in which you stand....disgusting!
4. Fast moving bugs, all those creepy, little legs running towards me!
5. Slow moving bugs, they take thier time, for the dramatic effect!
6. Ducks
7. Bodies of water at night
8. Men with ponytails, just thinking of the little jar of colored elastics they might have on thier bathroom sink...eeeew.
9. Bad teeth
10. No teeth
11. Armpit hair, male or female!
12. Hairy moles, the hair always looks like its going to reach out and poke me!

There are many more, but these are the ones that come to mind first.
Add a coment if you like and tell me what silly things scare you.

Tight Underwear

Wearing tight underwear really does put me in a bad mood.
 Note to self: buy bigger underwear.... or get a smaller ass.

My New Diet Plan- Its Working!

I recently found out that I have a thyroid problem, I learned this through my Chiropractor, who is also a nutritionist. She put me on supplements and a special diet to heal my thyroid. I agreed to go along with it for as long as I could, in hopes of healing and getting my life back to normal.

The diet eliminates all dairy, soy and wheat. You cannot have anything with high fructose corn syrup, or aspartame in it. (low calorie sugar, like sweet-n-low or splenda) When my doctor told me this, I was a little shocked, I live on ice coffee, chocolate and Diet Coke! I didn't have a clue about what I was going to eat for the next 6 weeks. I had my doctor make a list of the things I couldn't have and a list of the new foods that I would be eating for the weeks to come.

 When I got home, I immediately got on the computer to try and make sense of this new way of eating. I was surprised to find out that it was an actual diet, not just a way to heal my thyroid. I came across this website http://www.thedietsolutionprogram.com/. I watched the free video, it was loaded with information and answered a lot of the questions I had lingering in my mind. It finally all made sense to me. I ended up buying the ebooks to this diet, they are full of  recipes, workouts, shopping lists and everything you need to know about eating healthy. I will be happy to share all the information with you if you are interested.

I have been on the "thyroid healing diet" for about 3 months and have lost 25 pounds! Some of the weight loss is from my thyroid healing and now working properly. The rest of it is from this new way of eating. I finally have hope that I will regain my cute body back someday. I know my body will never be exactly the same as it was B.C. (before children) but I do believe, that one day,  I will be able to walk by a mirror and not be afraid to look at the reflection looking back at me.

Wormy

My daughter loves worms. She actually loves them to death! She will beg me to find her one, I do feel bad giving her a healthy, juicy worm, knowing that, within hours it will be near death, stretched out, skinny and dry. My daughter thinks she is showing the worm love, by putting it in her pocket so it won't run away.  She thinks the worm is having fun, being slowly rolled down the hot slide, or being swung on her swing....really, really high!

 I watch as she dances with wormy, declares her love for wormy,  then chucks wormy across the yard when wormy poops on her hand. She spends the next hour trying to find her lost love, while whining and crying the whole time. By the time she finally finds wormy, he's lifeless and dry. Lunch time (for the kids, not wormy), my daughter uses all of her toddler skills to try and get wormy into the house with her. After many minutes of a borderline nutty (tantrum), I talk her into letting wormy take a nap outside, while she eats her lunch.

Lunch is always full of drama, my daughter forgets about her pet that is outside on the patio, in a bucket with 4 pieces of grass, in the hot, summer sun. I ship her and her brothers off to bed for their naps, trying to keep the focus on tasks at hand, we don't need anymore drama. Once they are all in bed and quiet, I sneak outside, carefully pick up the bucket with my daughters new best friend in it and carry it to the garden. I empty him out, being sure that he is hidden from sight. I place the bucket back where it was on the patio.

My daughter wakes up an hour later in a panic, "Mom, I gotta go see wormy!". She runs out the door, hair sticking up all over, still half asleep. The drama begins again, wormy is gone! I tell her that he must have crawled out of the bucket and went back home to see his mom. Since this is something she can relate to, she is sad, but understands. She tells the boys the sad news and runs off to go swing. Ten minutes later, shes digging, "Mom, can you help me find a worm?"
