Doghouse



              Well, It must be some kind of record my family wanted to break.

                       It was virtually unheard of.

                             It was something out of legend.

But they managed to do it.

My entire family has managed to get themselves in the doghouse all in the same day, but for different reasons

My Son, for not answering his cell phone after my repeated calls...mind you this is a teen who's phone buzzes continuously and he is in constant communication with friends.

My Daughter for being sassy and yelling at me in the car. I don't care if you're 20....sassiness will not be tolerated.

And the Hubster for neglecting to inform me of a very important financial matter.

Yes all three are in the doghouse.

It's quite crowded in there 

In fact its so crowded...

     There is no room for the dog.

Happy Mother's Day!

   Happy Mother's Day To all the beautiful Moms out there!

                                   and the ones who might not feel so beautiful too!



When I first had my daughter I knew that my body would change but I had no idea how much!


         A day after I had her the doctor came in and palpated my stomach and when he did It felt like he was mushing on a bag of jello.


After we brought my sweetie home I was....


                    let me see...


                           um...


                                 how can I put it .....



                                           A FLIPPIN' MESS!


Suddenly I had no shape...no wait I did.... I was the shape of a potato.


         a big lumpy potato


                 and nobody told me that the boobs would turn into huge painful boulders after about a day of being a mom.


                         and the leaking! Every time the baby cried there seemed to be a faucet attached to them.



  

If I wasn't changing my blouse because of the boobs, then I was changing it because all of a sudden I was sweating all the time...I'm talking pit stains the size of Texas.

My feet were still swollen and my skin was dry.

and to top things off the Zippity Doo Daa was....was... lets just say every time I went to the bathroom, I yelled in pain...I sort of sounding like this...


                  


Yes, Mommyhood was a big adjustment...It shocked me and it shook me


         and from the beginning...from the moment I saw the extra line on that pregnancy test.


            I knew my life would never be the same. 


              I had a beautiful new baby that I loved all my life, but I had just met.


                    Does that make sense? 


                           I thanked God for every painful, ugly moment. I thanked God for it ALL!!!! I received the greatest gifts...My Two children.



                                        Happy Mother's day!!!

                     Enjoy and God Bless!

Three's a Charm



             Hi All! I started two new blogs.

                        Some of you know of the one I started a few months ago. Never Ready for Company That one is a blog about trying to get myself organized, and maybe helping others along the way. The third is one I just started Tea and Devotion. That one is about my wanting to be consistent with reading God's word. I combine it with a tea time set up (which I really do make for myself) and just write about a verse or more. 10minutes2breathe is still my baby with my ramblings about everything and anything and weekly art love shout out.

I'm hoping you stop by and give them a little look-see.

A-Z Dropout



          OK, so I'm officially a A to Z challenge drop out.

                  I failed the test.

                  got sent to the Principal's office and got thrown out.


I'm a delinquent

           all I need is a cool leather jacket and a motorcycle...
           


     or maybe a tight sweater and bra that makes your boobs look like torpedoes

         I'll even hold a cigarette to try to look cool...I won't smoke it, and quite frankly it'll likely be a candy cigarette...

But I'll hold it just the same!

I'll say "whats it to ya?!" whenever questioned by authority

and I'll stay out late with all my drop-out friends.

I'll turn to a life of crime

       My days full of ding dong ditchin'

             talking back

                   and hangin' at the malt shop with my good for nothin' pals. After burgers and milkshakes we'll pinch candy bars from Old Man Wilson's store.


Yeah,  that's me

    bad girl through and through

             later in life when I'm doing a stint at Sing Sing...and the parole board asks how did I become one of America's most wanted...I'll say

                         It all started when I couldn't find a topic for the letter "I"
