My blog has no theme. I don't know if that really means anything or not. Maybe I don't have a theme because I'm not sure where I want to go with it. I started this blog back in January because I love entering blog giveaways, and I thought it would be a great place to keep track of them, and let others know about all the great giveaways I found. It's turned into more than that in the last few months. Now, I'm hosting giveaways every now and then, and it's a place for me to get things off my chest, or just to "talk" about some of the crazy things that happen in everyday life. I love blogging.

Then why don't I blog everyday? Is it time? Laziness? Other more important things to do? (like enter other giveaways!) It might be because I don't think people would want to read about lil ole me, and my slice of boringness.(that is a word, right?) Blogging is something I love to do, but I don't do it enough.

Anyway, I'm going to keep blogging, and hopefully more than I have been, and since I've decided to blog more, I thought you might want a little glimpse into all that is me, you do right??? Just say yes! :) ... your so sweet!


Well, here goes some randomness...

I love this pic! :)


I say "yo" and "diggity" at least 5 times a day. I'm not gangster. I just like it, and it fits.

I start projects, and give up on them before I finish. I have an afghan that I started two years ago, it's about half way done. I do that with all kinds of things. I get bored too quick.

I call my daughter and son "turd bucket" and "monkey butt" and "potato face" on a daily basis. Terms of endearment, really.

I graduated from an "alternative" high school. It was only 3 hours a day. I had to help take care of my grandmother and work, and there was not enough hours in the day for regular school. Since I graduated I've felt "less than" since I didn't graduate from a regular high school.

I worked the night shift at Waffle Hell House from age 15 to 19. I met my first real boyfriend there. He was 30, I was 17. Yikes. In my defense, HE. WAS. IN. A. BAND.

I think of my cousin as a sister, she has been and always will be there for me for anything and everything. She might not know it, but she is my rock. I totally got her hooked on blog sweeps!

My husband drives me insane on a daily basis. 'Nuff said.

I begged my husband for a cat for 3 years. He hates cats but he finally gave in. The cat I got was PSYCHO, now I don't want a cat at all. Nice huh? My luck lol!

I hate bodily functions, specifically from my son. Since I gave birth to him, I have been peed on, crapped on, and puked on more than one mother deserves. But he's worth it :)

I watch Disney and Nick more than my kids do. Yes. It's sad. :)

I have issues with odd numbers. It used to be horrible, I would count everything! If I'm putting gas in my car and it goes over by a penny, then I have to make it 2 cents. I scheduled my c-section on 08-18-08 and put off my induction with my daughter so I could have her on the 14th instead of the 9th. I have 3 tattoos and I think about it every night before I fall asleep. It's making me crazy, and I'm itching to get another! I'm getting better though.... really!

Hmmm one more? Oh, I made a pillow today, and it looks like crap! Now, I want a sewing machine so I make pillows lol!

Well thanks for reading my randomness, I would love to hear any quirks about you!

Wordless Wednesday

My Nugget has figured out how to get around the baby gate, and takes off when I look at him! He thinks it's a game, and he loves to be chased!!

Fishing trip with Papa

Last week I got brave. Or maybe I just had a momentary lack of sanity. I'm not sure which! My husband, my father in law, and I took my 2 kiddos and my niece and nephew an hour and a half away to go fishing. So really the only adults there, were my father in law and myself! My husband is a big kid, and he totally embraces it!

There were two different ponds that we went to, and at the first pond we caught a ton of fish. Enough to holds the kids attention for a while anyway! My daughter with the short attention span(that she totally got from me) only casted out once before she was bored! But she found other things to amuse her, like flowers, bugs, and the random things that we caught!

My husband caught a turtle, and I caught a frog. And my husband being himself, tried very hard to catch a snake that we saw. Even though he had no clue what kind it was, he wanted to play! See told ya he's a kid... yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinkin either! :)

Anyway, the day went well until my daughter had a major meltdown after being stung by a bee. It was all downhill from there. I felt so bad for her because there were little bugs everywhere that the bug spray seemed to attract instead of repel. After she got stung, every blade of grass that touched her sent her into a frenzy. So I carried her back to the van and we hung out there till things got calmed down.

After getting home and searching each other like monkeys for ticks, I've decided that fishing trips like that will wait til the kids are older! Not only am I seeing ticks that are not there lol, but my daughter is too! I feel like I tortured her, and she is scarred for life! I know it's not that drastic, but I sure feel bad!

Here are a few pictures from our trip!

I caught the biggest fish of the day!

We were a little bored in van! He's rocking his mo hawk!

The famous turtle that is still being talked about!

This was Noodles fun!


Thanks for reading!!

Ouchies ~ Review and Giveaway

I like it when I can help my kids express themselves, most days I let my daughter pick out her clothes, and if it's not too crazy I go with it. So I was thrilled when I came across Ouchies Band Ages! They come in three different styles, Teen-ages Girl bands, Teen-ages Boy bands, and my favorite the Make your Own-ages. Each tin has 20 bands, with 5 different styles so your child has a lot to choose from! They come in cute little tins, which my daughter already has plans for lol! And they are great for any (including imaginary) boo boos!


When we received our Ouchies, my daughter was amazed! "Mommy, those are so cool! Can I put one on my wall?" I let her, and she now has like 5 on her wall by her bed, I should have thought about that! So far every little scratch she has had, she "needs" an Ouchie to cover it up!


Yesterday we had a long day outside, which included a lot of sweating, running, and finally swimming. She put on her Ouchie before we left that morning. I was shocked when it stayed in place all day. In fact it is still there, because she didn't want to take it off for her bath. I'm loving these band aids! They seem to be a little thicker than normal band aids, they stay in place a lot longer, and they are definitely a lot cuter! At only $5.00 a tin, they are definitely worth it. The only thing I don't like about them, is that they go so fast!!


Ouchies would like to offer TWO of my readers TWO tins of their choice!!
