  • What do you do to entertain yourself on long road trips?

    What a perfect time to answer this daily xanga question.  Since my long road trip home is tomorrow, I will have to think about what is going to entertain me for the WHOLE day in the car.   The drive back will be 9-10 hours and that's literally the whole day.  I know it's going to be the whole day based on my kids nap and sleep schedule.  Not looking forward to entertaining them along the way...actually correction...not looking forward to hearing them entertain each other.  It's so funny hearing them make each other laugh and communicate in their toddler talk but listening to it while driving for so long is going to be hard.  I am definitely planning to listen to my iPod while playing their favorite song...Bleeding Love by Leona.  I can't believe they love this song too!  Husband is going to kill my CD after hearing it twice.  It was the first time I heard the song and I told my boys that this is my favorite song now and since then they love listening to it on repeat and falling asleep to it. When I am driving, I am definitely listening to my music and cussing at people on the road and finding people to annoy.  When husband's driving, I will most likely be turning my head back trying to make the boys happy with snacks and drinks and picking up Justin's bottle 10 billion times.  I seriously need to attach that bottle to his wrist or something.  He's getting real smart now and playing games with me.  He looks at me first with that innocent puppy face before dropping his bottle and saying "Bottle bottle bottle!!"
      
    Here's to spending the entire Friday tomorrow in the Odyssey!

    I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

  • Past 2 weeks have been difficult

    This past 2 weeks have been really pushing my patience and tolerance level.  First of all, I dislike the numbers 3 and 18, referring to my boys who are 3 years of age and 18 months.  During these 2 ages of toddlerhood, the temper tantrums are at it's peak! which is just wonderful news to my ears.  I don't even know how this got started, or wait I remember. It was when Justin decides to start growing his 2 year old molars, which hurt like crap believe me.  I hear growing teeth is similar to getting braces tighten, but on a 1 year old!  We can hardly stand the pain why do we expect a little toddler to?  So this glorious event of growing new teeth then lead to a fever which finally ended up with fever sores on his lip.  What is the grand product?  A skinny 18 month old looking like mommy punched him in the mouth whose not eating anything.  All I can offer him is drugs, liquids and a hug. I am completely frustrated and annoyed right now.  I hate it when my boys get stuck in a situation where I can't help them out.

    It will get better...or so they say....

    So let me tell you about my adorable 3 year old.  I have a little sneak peak into his teenager stage.  Most of the time he's very good, but as soon as I start congratulating him for being good, he turns all devil on me.  He would do things JUST to see my reaction, and if it was a bad reaction,  he will do it AGAIN. At Tennessee I don't know how many times I have told this boy, "Stop hurting your brother! Share with your brother!"  "Don't do that, Stop it."  I have said it so many times that I am sick of hearing myself say it so I have stopped.  it gets really tiring when you have to say that every 15 min.   So I am listening to you Kate that I should not waste my time breaking up every fight between my boys.  Kate is my hero, you might of heard of them from the show "Jon and Kate Plus 8".  I love watching that show at night at the hotel, it gives me hope, humor and inspiration and I thank the Lord that I do not have any multiples in my life, let alone TWO multiples.  I think if I had 6 year old twins and 3 year old septuplets, I might just hide myself during the day until they go to sleep.

    sigh...I will rest now in peace....my life is blessed with my 2 boys (plus one bigger boy).

  • Leona Lewis - Better in Time

    It's been the longest winter without you
    I didn't know where to turn to
    See somehow I can't forget you
    After all that we've been through

    Going coming thought I heard a knock
    Who's there no one
    Thinking that I deserve it
    Now I realize that I really didn't know
    you didn't notice you mean everything
    Quickly I'm learning to love again
    All I know is I'ma be okay

    [ Chorus ]

    Thought I couldn't live without you
    It's gonna hurt when it heals too
    It'll all get better in time
    And even though I really love you
    I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
    It'll all get better in time

    How could I turn on the TV
    without something there to remind me
    Was it all that easy
    To just put aside your feelings

    If I'm dreaming don't wanna let
    Hurt my feelings
    but that's the path
    I believe in
    And I know that time will heal it
    If you didn't notice
    boy you meant everything
    Quickly I'm learning to love again
    All I know is I'ma be okay

    [ Chorus: ]

    Thought I couldn't live without you
    It's gonna hurt when it heals too
    It'll all get better in time
    And even though I really love you
    I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
    It'll all get better in time

    Since there's no more you and me
    It's time I let you go
    So I can be free
    And live my life how it should be
    No matter how hard it is I'll
    be fine without you
    Yes I will

    [ Chorus ]

    Thought I couldn't live without you
    It's gonna hurt when it heals too
    It'll all get better in time
    And even though I really love you
    I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
    It'll all get better in time

    Thought I couldn't live without you
    It's gonna hurt when it heals too
    It'll all get better in time
    And even though I really love you
    I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
    It'll all get better in time

  • Kid Rock - All Summer Long

    It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
    Caught somewhere between a boy and man
    She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
    It was summertime in Northern Michigan
    Ahh Ahh Ahh
    Ahh Ahh Ahh

    Splashing through the sand bar
    Talking by the campfire
    It's the simple things in life, like when and where
    We didn't have no internet
    But man I never will forget
    The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

    [Chorus:]
    And we were trying different things
    We were smoking funny things
    Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
    Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
    Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
    Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

    Catching Walleye from the dock
    Watching the waves roll off the rocks
    She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
    We'd blister in the sun
    We couldn't wait for night to come
    To hit that sand and play some rock and roll

    While we were trying different things
    And we were smoking funny things
    Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
    Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
    Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
    Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

    Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
    Or how we thought those days would never end
    Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
    And think man I'd love to see that girl again

    [Repeat Chorus x2]

    Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
    Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
    Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
    Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

*Favorite Quote*

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake to just watch you sleep...wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you, how much he cares, and loves being with you, and how he is the luckiest guy in the world to have you, The one who turns to his friends and says, "Thats Her"
