Sammi is nine pounds. I know this becuase we recently tried to weigh her here at home on our scale and were unable, so we took her to the vet to get an accurate weight. Anyway. She is a tiny thing, full grown, nine pounds. She eats like she was a nine hundred pound dog in another life, but must be taking Lipovox on the side becuase she has eaten like this since she was a puppy and doesn’t have an ounce of fat on her.

Just now though, Im pretty sure her nine pounds felt like 900 to my middle son. She was curled up on his lap, sleeping when the doorbell rang. she jumped straight up and pushed off his lap to run to the door – only she pushed off on him in such a way he doubled over and began talking a few octaves higher!

of course, becuase she IS so slight, it only hurt him for a few seconds, but it was hilarious!

maybe you had to be there. i generally don’t laugh when my kids get hurt, but in this case, he was not really hurt, and was fine enough to tell us in a fake screechy girl voice that he was in “agony”

LOLZ

Wow. Blogher fever much? in the past week, I have seen THREE different bloggers do full body underwear shots and put them up on their blogs…apparently they are dieting or something, and these photos are their before and after shots.

One girl, she didn’t need to diet in the first place, looks gross. Her ribs and crap are sticking out like a skeleton! How does any woman think that looks good?? The other two women. Well…they are insane to be publicly posting pictures of themselves looking like that. How freaking embarrassing! I mean, if they had taken a top rated diet pill or something and actually ended up looking skinny – even toned, take the picture and post it, but these lumpy bumpy bodies are just not pleasant to look at!

In my opinion. My undressed body is for me, my husband and my doctor to see. No one else should be looking at me in my underwear, but hey, thats just me. If their husbands dont mind the entire internet staring at their bodies, i guess it shouldnt bug me.

But from now on, at least tuck the pictures under the fold so others dont have to see!

(pee ess: not linking to the three, its really not pleasant!)

So my mother in law is scared of moths like i am scared of spiders – in a word, terrified! The otehr night she was in her home and a moth flew right at her face. In fear, she jerked from it, falling, twisting her knee and hurting it very badly. They know there are torn legiments for sure, they just don’t know how badly they are torn yet, she goes back in on Tuesday for more testing.

Im just thankful that it happened this week and not four weeks ago when they were off on one of their trips! (they go by plane to different states and drive vehicles home for a family friend who has a dealership). They have the run of the mill leaving canada insurance, but it covers rather skinty. They dont have specific to the state, like NC health insurance or anything, so if she had hurt her knee like this, the run of the mill insurance they have wouldn’t really help – especially in terms of the pain pills prescription!

it sucks that she is in pain, but I sure am happy it happened at home and not away!!

When i was researching quitting smoking, i read on nearly every site that I needed to expect to gain at least 5-8 pounds during the process. Sunday is day 14 of no smoking and I weighed myself this morning and have lost three pounds.

Im gonna assume that it is directly becuase I keep eating. LOL. confused? I am constantly snacky. I keep getting up with the urge to smoke and I occupy myself by eating. But, I am eating carrots and celery and nectarines and spitz, I am chewing gum and drinking so bloody much water that i am getting up at least once a night now to go to the washroom!

I honestly figured that I would be shelling out for the best weight loss pills i could find at this point, becuase i really want to lose 20 lbs not gain 8!

So dude, losing 3 pounds WHILE quitting smoking is the best thing EVER!

LOLz.

Micah and the boys are sitting down to watch a movie. he keeps teasing them, pretending to hit play but never does. Finally our ten year old must have given him some sort of look because Micah told him “Don’t look at me in that tone of voice” and hilarity ensued. Now instead of watching their movie (X2) they are all three testing their daddy with different looks!

At ten, our eldest is a pretty good kid, he gets little moods, and sometimes rolls his eyes (I fucking hate that!) but over all, he is a damn fine kid. He is unbelievably helpful round the house too! In a few years, the story might change, I might be sitting here reading acne products reviews while he and his daddy argue for real about some tone or other snotty look, but for now, I like to sit here, fooling round on my blogs, checking facebook, and listening to the kids giggle with their dad!

A few times over the last year or so, I have thought, fleetingly, that I should give this URL to some family members. Thank socks I didn’t! I’m not sure if I have ever needed a private place to vent more than I have in the past two weeks!

OhMiGawd! The drama!

My brother and his long time girlfriend have broken up. Again. Remember those two? six weeks ago it was all about running to Vegas for a wedding, four weeks ago it was break up time, three weeks ago it was lovey dovey never be apart and today? who the hell knows!

they SAY they are broken up “for good this time” that its over and they are gonna be contacting lawyers, but at the same time, they make plans for getting out together like old times. Uhm, hello? either break up or shut up, but choose one or the other, and do it now becuase i am sick and freaking tired of the drama!

I wanna lock the two of them up in metal buildings (metal ‘cus my brother has anger issues and regularly punches holes in walls) lock the two of them up, together and refuse to let them out until they have figured it all out.

I am SO SICK OF IT
