You make that Gum Look GOOOOD!!

Once upon a time there was a 30 year old woman, who had a very decent body, and a pretty good tan....nowadays? Hair is in a ponytail, sweatshirt on, and hopefully legs have been shaved once in the last week. And we won't even mention the body! How are we supposed to do all this????


"Balance" someone told me. Balance? What the crap is that? I am not super mom, super woman, super cook, super anything. Society bangs at us from all angles, showing us supermodels on tv that we are supposed to LOOK like, professional chefs on tv that we are supposed to COOK like, and porn queens that we are supposed to ^%$# like....ugh. (sidenote here...notice how supposedly is spelled S-U-P-P-O-S-E-D-L-Y? I hate it when people say supposeBly..please, if you are one of these offenders...do TRY!!!)
My four and a half year old is on my absolute last nerve. I thought that my 15 year old was high maintenance when he was 4....nope. We are in the midst of whineyville...and that drives me nuts. We whine about EVERYTHING...even things that make us happy. I have tried the "I cant understand you when you talk like that" line....to no avail. I have tried "go to your room until you can talk right" to no avail. So what I am fast learning is that my four year old is out-witting me...hmmm.

On the lighter side, my husband has fully recovered from his surgery...you know what that means...saddle up!!

I am posting some pics of the kids on their first day of school...they may be teenagers and tweenagers, but they are good kids, and I adore each and every one of them...




The Sophmore in High School...who has a date to Homecoming!!!! He messed up last year and waited too long...she didnt have time to get a dress...so she said no! This year, he listened to Mom, and asked with plenty of time for dress shopping!

The Freshman...I know...she doesn't look like a Freshman. She had just finished BAWLING due to severe nerves!

The Seventh Grader, and Step Daughter #1 She was actually excited for the first day!

My Fifth Grader! This is his last year of Elementary...and boy is he glad!

The fourth grader, and Step Daughter #2... She is anxious NOT to miss the bus!

This is the four year old (aka WHINER). This was his first day of 4 year old preschool and man was he excited...not nearly as excited as MOMMY!!!
