Big Daddy is the "Man of the House." He takes his daddy role seriously. He & I met when we were in highschool, and the rest is literally crazee history. As the only guy around it's his job to fix things, and scare off the boogie man. He spends his time working hard & playing a little golf. For extra fun he loves pulling pranks on the girls.
While I believe that my role as a mom is to teach my girls how to become strong independent women, I have another not so secret agenda as well. I find it important to teach them to laugh, and not take themselves so seriously. That is my philosophy. I love my husband, I love my children and I love the fact that we are not your average "cookie cutter" family.
Miss Mae is our oldest daughter. Just stepping into the world of being a teenager, she is learning to assert her independence and make her opinions known. She has a big heart, and loves to have a great time. She enjoys playing sports, especially basketball. She plays competitive basketball year round. She also enjoys dance, singing, fashion and texting her friends.
Despite turning 10, Hannah is still referred to as the baby. Most of the time, she finds being the "baby" to be more of a burden than a blessing. She loves animals, and would most likely run a zoo out of our house if we would let her. For now, she has to settle for taking care of her Schnauzers; Zoie & Ozie. She was blessed with the voice of an angel and loves to sing. Hannah also enjoys cooking, and can't wait until she's old enough to babysit.
Just so you know, I'd kind of banned myself from participating in blog carnivals, like this one... only because if I participated in everyone I saw--and/or wanted to, well-- that's all I'd get done. With that said- Tuesday is a good random day for me. Or at least it is this week, and so..I'm playing along because I want to...
I don't know why I felt the need to explain that to you like you care, but I did...so here's more randomness for me:
Standardized tests are of the devil.
Is it safe to eat pork, because we had pork chops last night for dinner...and really they were good, but if I get the Swine Flu...just because my hearty appetite can't say no to a pork chop-- I'm totally going after Porky Pig, that is if I have the energy... Better yet, if I get Swine Flu--will you take care of the pig for me?
4th Grade girl drama--I'm so over it, because not only did I go through it in 4th grade, I also went through it when Maeci was in 4th grade. And now, the third time around with Hannah Grace, I'm not so nice-- "Tell them all, your mom's tired of it, and she says that you can punch the next person who is mean to you..." Yeah, I don't think I'm going to win the "Mom of the Year" award for that one. Actually, I may win a free pass to a parent/teacher/principal conference, so I may want to retract those statements.
I would like to officially go on the record to say: I said, "NO" when asked if Maeci wanted to play softball for the summer. I said no, because she is already playing summer league basketball and has to attend summer cheerleading camp. On top of this, she is also babysitting for my sister this summer.... So, adding one more activity is way over the top. I said no, no, no.... That is why I don't understand how not only did my kid wind up on the softball team, but also-- my husband is helping to coach the team. I have no authority in this house.
I know that we call it "mating" socks when folding them into pairs. But, I'm just a little uncomfortable with it. I mean, really, do we ever expect to unfold a pair of "mated" socks and find a little baby sock inside?!? I'm just saying....
I'm a little too invested in the show "Dancing with the Stars" and I really want Lil' Kim to win. I have almost zero desire to watch American Idol, after the people who I loved to make fun of left the show. I enjoy good singers--don't get me wrong- but when it comes to my reality shows I like a little fizzle with my sizzle.
I feel like I'm on a soapbox right now, because my random thoughts don't seem too cheerful. And since, this is "my"blog--where I like to come across as a happy person, and not like I really am some crazee on my soapbox, so -- I should probably share something a little more cheery now.
I really ♥ my nephew Cody
11 people got crazee and lived to tell about it:
Hah, I will definitely 'take care of' Porky the Pig if you come down with the swine flu!! Just consider him a goner.
And, oh my word, you're absolutely right. Who are we going to make fun on on American Idol?! I love it, but man, everyone that is left is really good. ... Where is Megan Joy when you need her to do a bird call!?
There you go again....looking like different person. Who is this crazee lady? I love your randomness! Idol rocks this year...can't belive ur not watching. However, I do share your sentiments about reality tv. Quiet as it is kept my main reason for watching is to see just how ridiculously dramatic it can get and to get a good hearty laugh. Ditto on the standardized tests! The other day I was in the store and this little boy was actually chanting to himself, "I hope I pass the test. I hope I pass the test." Crazee!
I woke up yesterday and felt like crap. I instantly thought I had the swine flu. Does that make we weird?
I was wondering about the pork last night when I was at the store getting stuff for dinner. Kyle wanted ribs. I could only find pork ribs. Didn't end up getting them but the thought about the swine flu did cross my mind.
Drama sucks. Period.
Wow! Maeci is going to be one busy chica!!! Good luck with that!
Hahahahaha Finding a baby sock when you undo the 'mate'. Hahahha Too stinkin funny!
Cute pic!!! =D
Oh and I'm totally invested in DWTS! I don't want ANYONE left to go home! I lerve them ALL! =(
yeah I know what you mean about the pork! My friend who is also a nurse went to this emergency meeting that they held at her other job to teach them more about Swine Flu and they told her that eating pork was perfectly ok as long as it was properly cooked meaning until it comes out 170 degrees F. and over. But honestly I still feel kind of weird eating it:)
So, it's NOT okay to tell them to punch their bullies?
Gotcha. *takes notes*
So if hubby is the coach you don't have to shuttle her around, right? This could work you know. Maybe he will coach basketball too!
I've never heard it called 'mating' before but I'll never look at my socks the same way again!
I love your randomness!!
And I agree tell Hannah Grace to pop those meanies right in the nose. You'll get in a mess of trouble and then she'll never have to worry about it again :)
Tell her to hit them with a standardized test. It would be near fatal.
