Two New Addictions



As if I needed anymore, right? This one does everything. Pearl white in color, buttons, camera, speaker phone, MP3 player, internet, GPS. The works. Did I mention, the works. I have had others similar. None have compared. I can blog from it. Call from it. I am in love.

With what you ask?

My Blackberry Pearl aka my Crackberry. I love this phone. I have mine through T-Mobile. SD also has one and he loves it as well. It really is a good phone. If you have the option to get one I would suggest you do so.

So that's only one of the two. What's the second? I'm sure you want to know! Macaroni & Cheese CRACKERS! They are like crack in a box. They are so good. When I came to my mom's there was a box on the counter. Nephew didn't like them so I figured ill give them a try. Been hooked since and that was six days ago. I even made a special trip to the store and bought other stuff. I found a good deal too! 2/$5 with .75 off each box! I was happy.

Those are my two addictions. I love them. Gonna be hard to break.

Friday Favorites


I am going to start a new thing. Friday Favorites. Something to keep me from rambling on about everything. This is going to be about anything from beauty to kitchen. Kid stuff to dog stuff. What ever is my fav!!!

This week I will write about the first thing i MUST drink in the morning. My day has to start with this or it just isn't right. No coffee No hot tea. Soda. Coke Zero to be exact. I used to drink regular Coke but I went on a calorie counting diet and i figured i would try this. I loved it. It was not as sweet but yet had the same refreshing taste. I have been drinking it since about March and I hope they keep making it for years to come! It doesn't make me burp like regular coke does either!!! I can't say enough about it!

One Other Thing

The thunder storms. They are so nice and pretty. The sound of rain hitting the roof. The wind blowing it into the house. The kids having to find something to do inside the house. Prince wondering what the noise is..

The kids were having a pillow fight Prince snapping picture after picture with the Kid Tough Camera.

*later in the evening*

The storm is still here. You look out the window and you can see lightning strike. It is truely a beautiful disaster. Something so dangerous, such a huge force of nature can be so calm and serine. It is a part of the "seasons" I miss of California.

The kids are doing better than expected as we do not have this often. After all it never rains in Southern California!

Some Things I have learned about Florida


A couple things I have known about Florida but I wanted to share them with those of you in the blogosphere

1 It's hot. It's hot as hell!

2 It's humid. No use in doing my hair it's just to humid.

3. Where I am it is boring. There is nothing to do. I am in the center of the biggest county in Florida and its boring.

4 The weather changes faster than radar can pick it up! One second the sun was shinning then we had to get out of the pool cause storm clouds were overhead

5 Lots of old people. Not the retirement state for nothing!

6 This place is lots cheaper than Cali.

Overall I like to visit my family. I am glad I get to come out here and I am not far from water or civilization but I am not sure that I could ever live here. It's a beautiful place, really.

I am just not sure I could live here

Weekend Wrap UP


So my journey began Friday morning. We were off. Just the kids and I on a jet plane ride. For the east. Florida actually. They did great on the ride. Better than most kids. Nursing on the first flight was not an option because 1) Ethan is huge 2)there was a seat with a man sitting in it and Ethan is a flasher. So I had a bottle of his milk already and he was fine with that. Parents let's talk about flying with our kids. They make drammine for children 2 and over. If you can afford that plane ticket get you some. It was well worth the money rite aid took from me. Both children were very chill and hung out. The layover was hard but I was chasing them. I had a long layover so the kids could get up and move. Then our last flight was quick but they slept the entire time. It was nice.

My parents met us at the airport to help with stuff. They were all here. I felt loved. We waited forever and a day for luggage then began the journey home. We drove for what felt like hours to get to my parents house. The kids had to wind down and honestly so did I. The kids went to bed by 9PM pacific time and I fell asleep with them. Keep in mind that its 12am here. Fireworks still going off and everything. I heard them till 1 am.

Saturday I went to SUPER WALMART with my mom. We don't have those where I live. I got a swim suit and a new one for Brianna for $3! I couldn't believe it.

We went swimming today and yesterday the kids love it. I am glad that we were able bring the kids here. Ethan is having some separation issues. He doesn't really like me out of his sight.

All and all our weekend was wonderful. I miss home and SD but I think he will learn a thing or two with this trip.

Hair fix and on a jet ride to Florida!!

The day has come! We are on our way to Florida. I am so excited. I will be sure to have lots of photos.

I did get my hair fixed they way i wanted it! I am happy with it. My friends and i call it the "mom" cut and boy does it make me feel like a mom. I feel like i need to rush out and buy a new wardrobe asap! It will be good for the pool and simple to do for the rush of summer things.

I am a little nervous to leave SD. He always leaves us. We never leave him. I know he will be okay, I hope he will be okay, He has never lived on his own! We will see how much weight he loses if he can't cook!

I will be updating all along my trip. Hope everyone has a safe 4th of July.

Getting Lost and the results of it

I had a doctor appointment today. I have a mole on my nose that is a couple different colors and I wanted it looked at. I have anxiety and a sleeping problem also something wrong in my hip.... I recently switched doctors for the kids and I. So driving there was all new. Google gave the the WRONG directions. Completely wrong. Had me entirely out of my way. Anxiety was way up buy the time I got there. I got there and the staff was great and even though I had arrived late for the paperwork they got me right in.

The doctor was wonderful! I loved his bedside manor and he listened well! My hip is basically swollen muscles that is causing a pinch in my sciatic nerve , which I have had since 28 weeks pregnant with Prince. He told me the reason and looked at my body while I told him where it hurt. So we are gonna do physical therapy and see how it goes from there.

My mole. Its on my nose. It used to be a freckle but now it is a bump. I guess it has like 3 colors to it So he is gonna send me a referral to a plastic surgeon and see what happens. He wants it removed because it doesn't look normal.

my anxiety they gave me Lexapro. Which my Granny told me about. I guess my grandpa's brother took it and it really worked on him. My granny thought it would work on me. To at least try. Now this doctor listens. It I hope I can stay with him until we leave this location.
