To clean or not to clean

So, I've been talking about this to a few people and I thought I'd post some pictures so u'd all believe me. My girls have to be the messiest girls around. The funny thing is these pictures r not even bad, they were taken on day 2, not sure y I didn't think to take pix on day 1...so by this time we had already filled 2 large 30 gallon bags with trash from their room: dolls with no feet or heads/naked dolls/papers/book covers with no books in sight/clothes/candy (oh yeah I flipped my lid on that one), u name it, it was in their room. I talked to my sister the other day and she was telling me about what she does with my niece...and I CANNOT believe I didn't think of this sooner. She makes her ask permission to touch ANYTHING in her room (LUV IT!) So I could not WAIT to get started, which was perfect timing because they r on punishment, and kept complaining about boredom so I gave them the cure: CLEAN YOUR ROOM! I helped of course cause had I not it would have taken longer than 2 days. And still 2 days is RIDICULOUS, I THINK. So now the rule is they have to ask for anything and everything, to play, to watch, to listen, I'm even thinking about making them ask to pee...OK, no I'm not. I know I'm going to be annoyed from time to time with them asking for every lil thing but I'm going to have to stick to my guns on this. Sux cause they r STILL on punishment so I have to wait till Wed, when they r free and able to ask me to play with their own toys! Muwahahaha! So here it is:

AFTER:




AH it feels so good to walk into their room now, I'm not tripping over toys or slipping on papers and almost breaking my neck...it's so cute too as if I have two lil tweens in my house, their room is so girly (not like me at all). What makes me happy is that it will stay this way for a LONG time because I refuse to give them permission to play with anything. JOKING! But it WILL stay this way, they did NOT like being bored.

Now to get them to do the chores without me asking them!!

Baby steps, I know!

I HATE PC

SO TODAY I WOKE UP AND MY STUPID POS COMPUTER THAT IS ONLY 3 YRS OLD MIND YOU, WOULD NOT START UP...SO I TRIED TO REBOOT IT BUT BY ACCIDENT I FORGOT TO REMOVE MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE THAT HOUSED ALL OF MY PICTURES...PHOTO SHOOTS, PREGNANCY, FAMILY, FRIENDS, OCCASIONS, THE BIRTH OF MY LONG AWAITED SON...EVERYTHING, EVEN MY MUSIC. I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW, I AM SO HURT, I DON'T WANT TO MOVE, I CAN'T CRY. I'M JUST SO STUNNED AND LIVID AND SAD, I MEAN I AM ALL MIXED UP RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I'VE DONE THIS B4, BUT IT COST SO MUCH TO RECOVER AND I CAN'T AFFORD THAT RIGHT NOW...MY COMPUTER GUY MOVED AWAY AND SO I AM HERE AT A LOSS FOR WORDS, AND TEARS. I HATE PC,, I EFFIN LOATHE PC, I'VE BEEN WANTING A MAC FOR THE LONGEST TIME ANYWAY AND SO NOW'S A GOOD A TIME AS ANY. I HOPE BILL GATES GOES BANKRUPT!!! HE'S AN IDIOT FOR NOT MAKING PC'S SAFER, IN ESSENCE HE ISN'T KEEPING UP WITH THE COMPETITION. IT WILL BE LIFE'S WORK TO SPREAD THE WORD AND GET PEOPLE TO SWITCH OVER TO MAC. CAN U SAY BOYCOTT?!?! PC SUX!!!!

THIS IS MY ANGRY RANT...I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LOG ONTO THIS CRAP ANYMORE, SO I MIGHT BE MIA FOR A LIL BIT. TILL I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO COME NEAR THE PC WITHOUT A HAMMER.

Future blackmail

 
One day my son is going to have deep rooted issues and it will be my fault, BUT I can't help it, he is so friggin cute, I have the camera in his face EVERY DAY! He will either be VERY conceited or really shy because of how much I am in his face...My walls look like a shrine in his honor. My baby boy discovered himself during bath time the other night and now I am told I will never have to buy him a new toy again. :| He was just so cute laying there as the water drained from his new rubber ducky tub, staring down at "it". And like any curious being, of course he had to grab at it, or shall I say like any MAN. lol. I love my baby boy. I sent the pic to his dad and as expected he was proud! lol. Boy oh boy. Needless to say he better never step out of line with me while his girlfriend is around...heh!

Surprise to me

I have a lil ticker thingy on my page that tells me where I get hits from, which I put up for what reason; I DON'T KNOW because I never expected to get hits...but I actually have one from GERMANY! How cool is that? HALLO to my German peeps out there. lol. I lived there for 3 years and if it wasn't for my wanting my kids to know their grandparents and visa versa I would SO go back in a heartbeat. I LOVED my time in Germany. I miss it so much!!! The food was out of this world...the clothes r top notch and out b4 anyone in the western world see's em, the people r great, friendly, love kids and Christmas...the towns r historic and beautiful...MAN I'm convincing myself to go back again....I WISH! Well anyway, I just wanted to thank all who read and actually come back to read more of my ramblings. AND u leave comments too...HOW COOL IS THAT?! lol.

{My bliss}

I LOVE my baby boy...but it's moments like this that give me peace. Not because he's a pain or he drives me nuts, but it's the only time I get to stare at him and admire what my husband and I created through our love without him trying to leap out of my arms, crawl all over me, or crawl away. I am so in love with him, I have never known a love like this...I thank my creator EVERY DAY for this lil blessing in my life, and for the privilege to raise him into a man.

Happy Fathers day my love! We miss u so much! (I miss u like worms miss dirt).

My boys

I'm just really missing my hubby so bad right now...Looking through my pix and found this one we took a few days b4 he left. I want him home when where he belongs!!! In my arms, in my bed, on my couch with our children. We all miss him so much...the girls like to talk about silly stuff he does and it always puts a smile on my face. It's stuff that normally gets on my nerves and now that he's gone I miss so much...Like those stupid wet willies he gives me NOT with his finger but his tongue, straight in my ear...UGH I HATE those, but I'd give anything to have him here trying as I fight him off. I MISS U BABY!!!!

CRAZY TONGUE!

SO my baby boy found his tongue!! And now he is having a BLAST with it...he massages his gums with it, he twists it, he gives big wet kisses with it. I sent a picture to his dad titled "Fresh boy" and he replies "Like his father"...men find the oddest things to be proud of. lol. Like take for instance the sonogram...we went to get a 3D sonogram of E and well OF COURSE it looked huge it was in 3D for God's sake. But nope...he was so proud, I think it was the proudest moment besides any in his military career. Men r funny that way. A group us ladies were just discussing that very fact last night. ALL men think alike...Makes me miss my baby even more...If u're reading this pa, I LOVE U SO MUCH, DON'T EVER CHANGE!!!!

Child labor

 
Not sure what the child labor laws r in Hawaii, but I'm quite sure I don't care. I figure it's time these girls start earning their keep...no more free rides...Got Mariel brining in the trash after trash was picked up.
 
Got them both wiping the table after lunch...
 
Loading the dishes into the dishwasher...mind u, they did NOT use all those dishes for lunch, but they forgot to turn on the dishwasher the night b4...so...they only doubled their work. (Now ask them if they care)
 
And here's Ilana folding her pile of Laundry. Weird thing is, once they saw me taking pix they were MORE than happy to pose and ACT as if they clean like this daily...What a trip...I think ima lie and say I have cameras in all the rooms that way they forever think they r modeling and have to be on their best behavior and I stay happy with a clean house!!!!

POTD

 

My baby boy...what a messy eater...I looked a way for what I thought was a "quick" second and when I looked back he had his hands in his mouth and then all over his lil face, and this was the outcome...even covered in cereal he is the cutest baby boy on God's green earth!!! And I'm not just saying that because he's my son. lol. Well maybe a lil, but can u blame me? Look at those eyes, those lashes...he melts my heart. I'm in trouble when he get's older.

My kids

 

Turned my head for a second and caught my lil munchkin messin with the surround sound.

 

When I called his name and said "NO!" he thought it was just the funniest thing. "pfffft, check mommy out, pretending to yell at me, me of all people, her lil prince"

 

I love that my girls r very expressive in their choice of clothing...Lord knows I didn't have the guts as a kid. Bright pink skirt with green crocs?! All the while scootin round the block.

 

My littlest helper (when she wants to, which is NOT often)...notice her sense of style today, for the most part she is a FUNKY dresser from mismatched socks to mismatched shoes...today, however, it's mismatched genre...a church dress with healy's...gotta love her.

Pin on ceremony

 

I was not there to take these shots...but I wanted to share anyway because I am so proud of my husband and his accomplishments! Here someone is cutting away the old stripe/rank...

 

And as per tradition, PUNCHING on the new stripe...he seems to like it (Masochist)lol.

 

and some more punching.

 

Congrats baby! We did it. I miss u!

I"m in love

 

This lil boy has become such an important person in my life as any child should be for a parent...but it's been so long since I've had a baby in the house that now that he's here I can't get enough of him...He is such a joy to have in my life...he is so happy all of the time...he is so funny, I can tell he is going to have a sense of humor already...he is so smart, he is hyper and fast sometimes and it drives me nuts, but I wouldn't have it any other way. "They" tried to tell me that a mothers love for her son is different than for a daughter, and I thought I understood that until I met my son. THANK YOU GOD for this lil blessing in my life. He looks so much like his dad which makes me mis shim so much more right now. But I'm glad our love prodiced such a treasure.
