I added the "followers" gadet on my page. I am just so curious who is reading and I don't have a site meter or know how to use one. The word Followers sounds so so so religious! Like Disciples!

Any ideas what to call it? MY PEEPS? HA!

Question....I need a good foundation. I always use powder bronzer. I used to use a liquid body bronzer as a base because it was lighter than foundation, but I can't find it anymore. I like to glowy not MADE UP.

Our DVR is on fritz and I am in a panic. Intervention! Jon and Kate Plus 8!

Hope all your Monday's kicked ass. We had cheesy potatoes and steak. Nuff said.

The girls!

New bedding and curtains.

AND there it is in her hands....while doing the happy dance. A cellphone Aka the devil.

CANCER WALK...I would 2 miles any day to help out my dear friend Smangie and to help find a cure for cancer. And for beers and laughs =) Love you!

SIL, MIL and Nephew

The walk's namesake and Baby J...she is a happy, kind, spunky and HEALTHY girl!

What a view!

Sunday birthday lunch with at my mom's.

My beautiful G'ma

Salmon, pork loin and steak ....K dog's favs!

Right now I have 5 girls sitting in my living room on their sleeping bags...the night went pretty well. We had cake, roasted weenies (tee hee) they played and ran around. Now Baby J is sleeping and Jdog and I are sneaking down to the fire to sit and have a beverage.



K got some great presents....I owe her a B-day post...just wanted to catch up on some blogs!

Tomorrow- Cancer Walk orchestrated by one of my dearest friends, birthday time at the camper.



Sunday church and more birthday doings with my mom and step-dad.



PS Baby J has a TOOTH!

HOW COOL IS THIS?

Thanks to all of you that sent emails to your senators....

Dear Mommy and Daddy Bloggers,
If you have laughed at one of my posts.
Nodded in agreement with my frustrations.
Shed a tear over my losses.
Smiled at my children's pictures.

Please do one thing for me.

Go right now to Oprah's website (whether you are an O fan or not) and be a part of

Help Pass Senate Bill 1738—The PROTECT Our Children Act

I DVR her new shows and 3 minutes into last week's show about BABY and TODDLER molestation I shut it off and was shaking in tears. SICK... members of these horrifying groups are organized and have left threats on the web site because Oprah is bringing attention to this and being a driving, famous PUBLIC voice in what we can do.

Thank you.

Seriously did one of you call my temporary sitter, because things have improved A LOT!
She no longer text or emails me when things are not going well at work. Conversation is much more normal. Baby J is sleeping better and using his pacifier. YHEA!

Or what if SHE read this !? Nellie I need that site meter you use!

Anyone else's allergies acting up? wow!

Umm so about that post yesterday. The one where you all now think I am an irresponsible, drunk , mother...I am going to handle you like I handle all my closest friends and family.

Pretend nothing happened and act as if all is normal. Repressing all issues until the next time I drink or have PMS in which I will blow up randomly for no apparent reason.

Ta ta

Okay I posted like 30 minues ago and I have been bouncing baby J on my leg and reading blogs... I Hate Whine is a GOOD one
and I will admit I poured an A&W and dumped the last bit of vodka in the cup with it and I got p to put him in his jumparoo and I am a bit drunk?

WHAT?


We are social drinkers...my dad is a an achoholic and I never have even worried about crossing that line (my mother who does not drink does though) so anyway I drink wine with dinner...beer when we play bags...we go out a lot on the weekends but I have one stining drink and I am buzzered?????????????????????????????????????

My first drunk post...HA in 6:oo after 1 little drink hee hee

Just the fact that I am posting proves this week is better!

Great day at work...K too!
The sitter just said he was a good sleeper when I picked him up-No texst or emails about him crying =)

Washed the bottles, made some phone calls fed pets...and then relaxed looking for recipies to use up all these cherry tomatoes I have.

I thought I had a $233.00 dentist bill to pay, but they just sent out a bil the day my insurance paid up, now I have a balance of zero!

Yesterday some girls and I went to Vino in the Valley to celebrate a birthday and we forgot to take pictures! It was raining, but cozy and warm with good food and wine!

Hope all of you have a great week!

I am really trying hard to find A balance since I have been back to work I seem to be trapped in this vicious cycle of wake, pack, work, home, unpack, dinner, homework, laundry, clean bottles, fill bottles, bath, clean house, feed animals...

First day was:

=)
