Alrighty today I'm going to talk about mothers. I could spend the whole time talking about how all the mothers and motherly figures I've had through my whole life have taught me how to be a better mom, (because you all have) instead I'm going to get a little venting off my chest.
It's a quarter to 12 and where am I? In my house, sitting on my butt, with absolutely nothing better to do than write on my blog. While (I'm not going to name names because you would still be in denial even if I did) "X, Y, and Z" are out drinking, being promiscuous, and "having a life". You know what? You don't get that option if you have a kid. If you wanted to go back to your pre-baby days then you should've given your kid up for adoption where a mother who actually cares could be loving that kid. Your mother is 40+ she already had her kids! She doesn't need to be raising your's. Get your butt home, put on some jeans and a t-shirt, put in a fricking disney movie, and snuggle that child like you mean it. You made the choice to have your baby. I don't care if it taught you to appreciate your young single life. You can appreciate it while reminiscing. Right now you have a duty to your kid and to yourself to prove that you can be a good parent.
I know ,while you're out in your hoochy mama dress with those pathetic guys who want to give you a second baby, you're judging me. Well guess what?! My daughter is worth more than you and your fake body parts. While you're showing people just how selfish and trashy you are I'm here at 12 listening to my daughter sleep peacefully after holding her for hours while she cried. I was the one soothing her, I'm the one who takes care of her, and I'll be the one she turns to when in need. Where's your kid? I bet you don't even know.
Come on women! We're so much better than this! If this is how we're going to act then instead of having the stereotype of our place being in the kitchen it'll be that our place is in the bedroom periodically like an on call hooker.... oh wait there's a word for that... "booty call". Shape up and get some class.

Clocks, timer, hour-glass...
How do you judge your time with a person? For me I would say that a person's time in your life is up when you stop making memories with them, they don't leave your life until you stop thinking about them, and they aren't really gone then are they? They can still pop in and make new memories any time "The Fates" decide to be cruel.
But the real question is, Do you make every moment count? Every tick, drop of a grain of sand, digital-number-change.... do you use your time wisely?
Do you care enough about EVERYONE in your life to try and make every moment count? Or do you simply focus on one person to care about and leave all the others in the dust?
Do you love all your family the same? Do you try to find the good moments in everything you do? Is your time worth spending with other's? Do you respect those you love to let them make memories with you? Are you doing everything you can to make sure those you love stay in your life?
Makes me reflect in on myself....

Have you noticed how misconstrued family portrayal is?
When you see a commercial of a family enjoying meal time you see a Thanksgiving dinner, Campbell's green bean caserole, Roast, or pizza. (In reality Thanksgiving dinners are the most stressful because mom and the older siblings have been slaving away for hours, dad put the Turkey in to cook a tad bit late, and you have to deal with relatives who get on your nerves. And pizza is the easiest thing for parents on the run to buy so their kids won't start screaming when they realize they're hungry.)
Random food:
Twix can obviously freeze time so you can revise what you just said, while bringing your foot out of your mouth. (If anything you get a sugar rush from the chocolate and caramel mix, you start to talk faster which in turn confuses the other person into forgiving the insulting comment you just made.)
Take five is like a candy alarm clock telling you to take some time for yourself. (Enjoy the little moments in life, spend money on a salty, sugary candy that'll go straight to your hips or thighs.)
Dairy Queen Blizzards tells you to trick yourself into believing you earned a reward. ("Hey Bob! You just told your wife you cleaned out the garage so she'll let you buy me! Now you get to be lazy and feel good about it")
Hersey's kisses shows you that "kisses" love when you eat them! (I hope you enjoy being the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk.)
Hersey's bars tells you that moms love to share pure chocolate bars with their children. (Really they steal it from their kid's Halloween candy and eat it while hiding in their closet trying to have some "alone time".
Nutella=chocolate on toast that all your kids will eat. (Wait until they're teenagers, it'll change.)
Fruit roll-ups "fruit by the foot"! (Those suckers aren't even made out of real fruit.)
Motts apple juice= a juice your toddler will love, with all the nutrients they need. (Go let your toddler play outside on a jungle gym, in a nice sundress, and keep her perfectly clean.... I'm sure you'll be worried about what she's drinking when she starts crying that she's thirsty.)
Coca Cola, a soda so tasty even a polar bear will drink it. (NEWS FLASH! If a polar bear drank soda they'd kill over and die. Which isn't a good thing because they're an endangered animal.)
Pepsi= makes everyone sing and dance. (Even if it were true we already have enough musicals in the world without having double left footed people trying to keep tempo in a never ending can-can line.)
Bottled Water=pure, crisp water that makes you smile when you drink it. (I'll be drinking tap water thanks. You can give the bottled water to kids in Africa, China, and in the Downtown area of any city, they don't have clean drinking water so why don't you make them smile.)
Goldfish= "The snack that smiles back!"(Do you really think you'd have a smile on your face if you were going to be eaten and you knew it? PSSSH!!! I'd be one of the random fishes that happened to fall down the crack of the couch and you never see again.)
It's just interesting to me how simple things can be twisted into making a family think they have to be perfect in order to have happiness or contentment.....
You want to know what a happy family is? A happy family is= Dad having a day off work, a child telling you they love you, mom feeling like she has some free time to read a few pages/chapters of a book, enjoying a nice meal while sitting at the same table, and going on a family trip without fighting the whole time.
I hope we all can find the simple happiness that is there for us everyday.

Facts...
My family doesn't know me very well so I thought I'd let you get to know me a bit more....
(And yes I am catching up on not being able to post for a few months...)
1. I'm unbelievably self conscious.... i.e. if someone were to tell me that my shirt was a bit tight I'd freak out over my weight, my taste in clothes, my morals, and my ability to suck in my stomach.
2. I'm scared of singing in front of my family. Friends or strangers? No problem. But family, I get shaky and I want to run away and hide.
3. I'm a knowledge sponge. If I learn something I'll remember it.
4. I don't rush into things. If I'm going to make a decision that could affect me (i.e. buying shoes, lap top, picking schools, picking an occupation, signing a contract...) I learn everything I possibly can.
5. I'm scared of talking to other people because I don't want to sound stupid, mean, snobby, or spoiled. So I usually just keep my mouth shut.
6. My sisters intimidate the CRAP out of me. They always have and they always will.
7. I have to put make-up on for pictures, going out of the house, having guests over, or while staying at a relatives house because I wholeheartedly believe that I am plain and that make-up might help with that.
8. I worry about being able to take care of my family, my family's family, my friends, and my extended family... and I'm talking; emotionally, physically, financially, and any other way possible.
9. I'd rather go through the most excruciating pain than to see some one I know cry.
10. If I could, I would adopt EVERY; hobo, orphan, out cast, and elderly person without family I could.
And these are just skimming the surface.

Teddy Bears...
When you're a child a Teddy Bear is a plush, stuffed animal that more than likely goes to bed snuggled into your arms, but by the middle of the night winds up on the floor or crammed down the crack between your bed and the wall.
Once you're grown up the definition of a Teddy Bear changes. It is now known as a big, broad man who snores like a chain saw.
A bit ago I found an adorable picture that changed my definition of a Teddy Bear forever...
Gemma has quite a few of these courageous little warriors posted up in her bedroom. And I won't be surprised if she does for a while. =]

God deserves a HUGE hug after that one....
It has FINALLY happened! We have a new place (new as in never experienced by us until now)! After Corey and I managed to hurriedly flee our last place of residence we were stuck in John and Angel's motor home which isn't bad but as Dorthy would say "There's no place like home." And really there isn't.
Luckily Corey and I had two friends who lived in a quaint apartment complex along with Corey's grandfather figure Don. We had an apartment lined up within three days of being back in Lovelock. The reason we had to wait so long to move in was because the old manager was moving away and she had to train the new manager before doing so. Lucky us! We were the new tenants she got to be trained on. =]
Anyways.... Today we got to do a walk through on our apartment.... two bedrooms, one bath, CARPET, patio, pool accessible, DISHWASHER, linen closet, spacious bathroom, spacious closets, PANTRY, CENTRAL AIR, WORKING HEATER, REAL LANDLORD, no spiders, no whore houses, floors are properly installed, no raw sewage backing up, the tiles in the bathroom aren't broken, the house isn't slanted, Corey can come home to me every night, healthy environment for Gemma, almost two hours closer to our hospital, far enough from John and Angel's that we'll have plenty of privacy, and it has a storage closet too! Heck I don't even care that the carpet is a greyish blue. I'm so excited to move into our new place!!! And I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father saw fit that we get into a newer and healthier place before Gemma is born. =]
The best part of this move in is that I'll be able to organize and deep clean everything without it being such a hassel!!! YAY
