Miss Priss & K Play Time

Wednesday i baby sat my niece K and she and Miss Priss had so much fun playing together. I went out to our shop and got Miss Priss' walker (that she NEVER sat in) for K. Then wouldn't you know Miss Priss, herself, thought she needed to be in it too. And all night last night and today she has found a way to wiggle herself into this walker and plays in it for up to 30 mins at a time. LOL!





UPDATED to show pics of Cami at about 4 months in her seat.

Britney Spears AKA Britishney-LMBO!

I'm totally lame for being so interested in the madness of this poor woman's life. I can't help it. I'm not sure what to think about her, honestly. She's a mess, obviously, but what gives? When is she going to wake up and realize she's been throwing away precious days of not only her life, but her sons!?! Anyway.. these videos blow my mind. It is obvious she isn't really split personality because she goes in and out of the British accent from time to time. She spouts off "Well ya thought wrong didn't ya" in a redneck voice , while talking to a paprazzi hounding her about her new car.. that is a "dealer."

Thankfully, my mom is having it at her house this year so my house doesn't have to get destroyed. (hehe) I volunteered to make coctail weenies,sausage balls and some kind of sweets. Mom is making cheese dip, cheese ball, hot wings, prob chex mix, etc.. OH and drinks of course ;) Bring on the margaritas and beer baby!(light beer that is-ha!)


GO GIANTS!!!!!! Let's break that Pats record!!

Hey.. she's eating right?! :P

LOL! Before you call me a horrible mother, know that i did not let her do this long. While i cook she sits there and "helps" me and has to taste everything i pull out of the fridge. I laughed my arse off when i saw her diggin into the butter. She totally loved it! The funniest part is i have a pic of myself when i was about 2-3 doing the SAME thing on my grandma's bar. I wish my scanner worked to compare pics. :)

Who's sick..say *I*!!

I have felt so gross the past couple of..weeks actually! I think i have a serious sinus infection. Hoping and praying that's all it is. After talking to my step mom yesterday (she is the lab tech at the dr) i think i'll make an appt today to try to get on some antibiotics.

On a happier note. Cami is feeling better, finally! Woo Hoo! :)

If you are sick as well, i'm so sorry. I know it's misserable. Feel better dust to everyone!!

What a Monday brings..

First thing this morning i find my monkey finding somewhere new to climb. Then she proceeds to drink my green tea. LOL! Thankfully it wasn't hot anymore and had been sitting there for about 20 minutes. I was sweeping and had to take this pic.

Later during our play time i found Chris' old Lincoln Logs and thought i'd take a stab at building a fort. I was so involved in making it. Very proud of myself i must say. I took great precautions to make sure Miss Priss stayed 5 feet away at all times until i got my pic. Haha.. she was very gentle w/ it though. The little man and the ladder was her FAV! Then Miss Super Stylin Diva needed her pic taken again. She said "Moma Cheese" and strikes a pose. She's SO my daughter. Hehe :)

Random Confession..

i LOVE Mondays!!

How weird is that? LOL! I'm not even sure why. I think it is because over the weekend my house t urns into a tornado zone. Chris and Cami together make the biggest messes EVER! I don't even worry about cleaning it up until Mondays. I like my schedule of events and going about my dad the way *i* want. Hehe :).

Mondays are sweep/mops days. Plus spot cleaning the kitchen(which i do everyday) and I crank the music and Cami and i dance around while cleaning the downstairs. It's FUN to me! Oh and probably because i wear my jammies all day ;).

Your daily dose of CUTEness

We found these footed PJ's at wal mart on sale for $5!! I haven't put footies on her since she was about 9 months old, but they are just SO darn cute, i couldn't resist. She thought they were just about the neatest things ever!

LOL! I gave her a cereal bar for breakfast while Chris was cooking the good stuff and i looked up and she found her a little perch.


Later we got ready to go out and run around. I was feeling picture happy so decided to snap a few more pics. Enjoy my cutie! :).
ps. her hair is getting super long.. i only noticed it in the piggy tails!

I'm in love..

w/ COOKIE DOUGH!!! Someone please tell me NO!! I have done so well w/ eating healthier and actually losing a few lbs, but the last week was funky and all i wanted to do was EAT! I haven't eaten sweets in probably two weeks.. so i saw cookie dough and the grocery store and pounced on it! LOL! Just thought i'd share my moment of weakness.

Tax Returns..dun dun dun!

I know this is a touchy subject for some, but i'm really excited to get ours back. It's always the time of year i look forward t most after Christmas :) Because.. well it's after Christmas and we need the money at that time. LOL!

This year we're getting back a pretty hefty amount and im so thankful. We truly need it right now. We had to take out a loan in August to pay off my dr bill debt from knee surgery. So the tax returns will pay that loan off and still give us some left over. We will use 1/2 of it to pay off random bills and stock up on groceries (which we already did). Then the other 1/2 we will divide into 1/2 again and use it for ourselves. I'm getting my hair done and buying a few pieces of clothing. I think Chris wants some tools. Cami has LOADS of stuff already so we're using this for US. Plus her birthday is coming up and we've already put back a little bit for that.

Like i said we went to the grocery store yesterday and stocked up on frozen and canned items. I was thrilled to just go in and get what we needed rather than skimp here and there to save money. The funny thing was i only bought sale items so we still didn't spend an outrageous amount. It felt really nice to get home and stock our deep freeze and cabinets though. We'll be fed for a while now :)

Possibly the CUTEST pic EVER!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! She's so cute. It's like "Mommmm, i'm trying to type on the computer, can't you see that?!" lol!


And a few extras.. just because.

Semi-updated hair

Okay so after becoming totally disgusted w/ my blahsay hair i took it upon myself to give me side bangs again. Hehe.. not to bad in my opinion. I cut about 5 inches and have NO thinning shears..so they're a bit blunt, but i think it gives me a little more dimension. The bad thing is it chopped all the blonde off so now it's my natural color which makes me look washed out. Okay i'm annoying you at this point. LOL!

I'm SO sad (re: a puppy)

There was the CUTEST pitbull puppy running around my neighborhood last week and it loved our dog and Cami so it hung around our house. I wanted it so badly, but it had a collar on so i just played w/ it when it came by.

Our neighbor friend just knocked on our door and told us that one of our MEAN, NOSEY neighbors called Animal Control. (No reason whatsoever because he sits in his house all day long..has no dogs.. that dog didn't dig in his yard etc..) Anyway he informed us that the Animal Control called and asked if he wnated this dog because the owners didn't take care of him and the man said no w/o asking any of us!! So they put the dog to sleep :*( Just pitiful. This poor puppy was so sweet and happy and adorable and still had a long happy life ahead of him. I'm just so dissapointed w/ this man, who is to selfish to allow other people some joy from a puppy. No excuses...

Stock Market

Do you pay attention to the stock market? I never have, obviously i'm still young, but in any event we should all be interested in it. It is a major factor in all of ourlives in one way or another.

I've been hearing more and more about it lately and it doesn't sound good. But one good thing is gold prices. Apparently they are very high right now. So if you have any gold just laying around in your jewlery box take it to a buyer and get you some money to make up for the other parts of the market that are nose diving.

Winter HATES me!

ps: i normally wouldn't post a pic this bad, but i had to prove a point. :P

Being a good mom..

Has it really taken me 20 months to become a *good* mom? I am starting to think it has. I mean of course i've always taken care of Cami, fed her, bathed her, dressed her looking super cute, but i don't think i have ever taken the time to really play w/ her and try to teach her.


Today we sat in her playroom and played for 2 hours! It was so much fun and she learned 3 new words from that one play sitting. I was totally impressed. Usually when i "play" w/ her i sit there watching her, talk on the phone, or take the time to hang up her clean clothes?After noticing her constant need for my attention though, i decided to really interact w/ her (which i know i should have been doing all along)
When we came downstairs i asked her "Do you wanna help moma put the dishes up"
She smiled SO big (literally) and said "UH HUH!!" then she picked up the wooden spoon and various cups and handed them to me like a big girl.

I always feel stressed like i'm constantly needing to get things done. But I think i've finally realized the house chores, errands, etc can wait. I need to spend every precious moment w/ my baby girl and she definitely benefits from it.


Here's our creations from today. :)

Miss Priss amazes me more each day.

This morning after i finished roling my hair i sat down on the floor to play w/ her. She grabbed her little fake toy rollers and tried to stick it to her head.
"Hewp" she whined. LOL!!
I finally put it in her hair for her and she looked at me w/ a big grin saying
"Pwetty!"

I noticed how often i look at my stomach throughout the day. (terrible habit) As i'm looking in the mirror to see if i've put on a lb or two over the last few days i look in the mirror and here is my 20 mo old daughter raising her shirt turning back and forth saying "belly"
I pray that i haven't sent a bad message to her already, but definitely will be more aware of what i'm doing.

I had to take her to the doctor today and she immediately knew where we were. She ran at a toddler jet speed to the elevator to push the button. Then laughed out loud letting me know just how proud she was of herself. Once we got inside she sat on the chair and watched the movie playing on the t.v. -Sharktale. We walked into the room and she jumped up on the cushiony bench and gazed out the big window. I said "Miss Priss, where's moma's car?"
"I don know?" she spouted off
I said "Look out there and find it."
"Der it is!" "DAYY!" she exclaimed!

haha SO smart i tell ya!!!

UPDATE: Bedding

I love this! It is in the adult section of bedding rather than the kids, but i am crazy about it. Plus it matches the color of our walls. (light tan) and we can add big polka dots or stripes to the walls. :) yay!

Just a helpful hint

NEVER drive while you have to pee!!!!

OMG i literally thought i was going to swerve into the oncoming traffic. I was on my way home from taking Cami to the dr and i held it in the entire time iw as there because i wanted to get in and out quickly. Well it's about 15 mins from my house to the dr's office and my eyeballs were filled to the rim by the time i got home. AHH! Sweet relief

Patriots Win..blah, blah!

It was expected though wasn't it? Their season has bored the crap outta me!! 19-0..blah, blah, blah. I'm sure every QB and team, for that matter, wants a season like that but for the viewers....eh, where's the entertainment?! Anyway, i reckon we'll be seeing them w/ the championship ring. Which is fine..Tom Brady is a hottie ;) (oh..right, that has nothing to w/ it..silly me!)

Fake nails=PAIN!

:*( i've had these fake nails for a couple of months now and had them filled twice, but now i'm to the point where i'm tired of the up keep. They are raggedy looking now and i don't want to pay $14 every two weeks to get them filled in. SO now i have to make an appt to get them taken off..which i HATE! Because i think they will charge me to have them taken off too. BLAH! Well i tried to take them off myself and OMG i had forgotten how badly that hurts. It's like ripping the skin off your fingernails..which i'm sure doesn't sound painful, but after having them on there so long it makes your real nails super thin! OUCH!! I'm just whining.. sorry.

UPDATE: I got them all off and painted them! LOL! I know they don't look as pretty, but it will be so much easier to take care of for now. Oh and it is morning so i don't have my wedding ring on bc i don't sleep in it.

Early start to Saturday

i LOVE when we get up and around early on the weekends. AHH feels so good to have a long day. I guess i should thank Cami becasue she has been waking up super early at 6am every morning. Now i'm in the habit of waking at that time so this morning i woke on my own and then woke Chris up. Cami got up at about 7:30. We all got ready and headed out. We had breakfast at Burger King for the first time since Cami has been born and she loved it!! She ate good and then got to play. :) Next we went to Target and Old Navy and shopped some good bargains! WOO HOO i love sales SO much!!

At Target we got Cami some sippy cups. They weren't on sale, but she really needed new ones. Also, we got two 24 packs of bottled water for $7!! WOW..that amazed me! And a Winnie the Pooh puzzle for $2.99. Cami loves her Pooh!

Old Navy was still having really good sales going on, so we picked up quite a few things for..CAMI. Duh, who else?! LOL! I got her the cutest jacket for $6.24!! OMG i love it! And 2 pair socks, 2 pair tights, 3 shirts and 2 sweaters for $32!! Yippie!! I'll try to find pics on their website of the stuff we got.

Now we're home waiting on Hurricane Cami to take a nap. Wish us luck!

ETA: Here's a few of the sweaters. This was alli could find on OldNavy.com They were each $3.49 or $4.49 in the store. I wish i could find the jacket it's so cute!!

Miss Priss & my niece K (then and now)

My niece K was born on June 26th 2007. Miss Priss and i went to see her when she was about a week old, weighing in at a whoppin 6lbs 5ounces (only 3 more ounces than Miss priss when she was born) I dressed her in this little yellow outfit :)..hehe!

Here she is now! I picked out this bow for her. My silly sister thought she didn't look cute in bows. I have to disagree! She is gorgeous. Guess what? She weighs only 4 lbs less than Miss Priss now. LOL! She is a chunky monkey!!
My girl looking on like "Whoa, what is this?" She was only 13 months here.Aw! She is so sweet!Miss Priss & K now! WOW! Big difference, huh?
