The Bright Side: PAUL RYAN 2016

Paul Ryan 2016: The GOP Frontrunner!

Sooooo... it was not easy to wake up this morning and see our country is in for 4 more years of Obama.  Overnight the American dollar has dropped AGAIN and the stocks have fallen drastically. That sure didn't take long now, did it?  I am angry and emotional about this.  I can say this much, those who voted for him and praises him will be going to hell in a handbasket with all of us.  No Republican, Demorcrat, Independent is safe because it's not just Republicans who are getting the kick in the nuts, it's every single American.  BUT I am going to look to the future (if there is one) and am already endorsing Paul Ryan for 2016, Republicans have control of the House, and Nancy Pelosi and Todd Akin are cleaning out their offices and about to join many in the unemployment lines.  ;)  

Today I had a doctor appointment to find out the results of my lab work.  Come to find out, I am healthy other than being fat and have serious depression/anxiety.  I was hoping the doc would tell me I have an 85lb benign tumor that needs to be removed as soon as possible.  My blood pressure, cholesterol, red and white blood cell counts, blood sugars, etc are absolutely perfect.  Hard to believe that as fat as I am, that I am actually healthy as a horse while being the size of a horse.  She asked me how I was doing and WHY? WHY is it everytime a doctor asks me how I am doing I break down in tears and cry about anything and everything?  The good thing is that I am not homicidal (yet) or suicidal (not my thing).  My doctor is a pretty, perky, nice, and skinny lil thing that I want to hate but can't.  Her prescription for me is to absolutely and postively give myself 30 minutes to an hour of me-time everyday no matter what, make some local friends and get into some groups to meet other stay-at-home moms, and to go and exercise so I can get my "happy endorphins" up and going.  I know she's right but I still wanted to hit her.  LOL   I never knew how hard being a stay-at-home mom can be.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MY KIDS!  I love being able to stay home and be there for them when they need me, but it really is hard to be an attentive wife and take care of 2 very loveable spidermonkeys.  Plus we have moved to a new area.  I have met some really nice girls in the neighborhood but everyone has their own things going on.  My hubby is not military but we have moved around as much as a military family does.  I am so thankful for him though.  He is a hard worker and is an excels in his job.  He moves where he can flourish in his career.  I will always stand beside him no matter what he has to do to move up in his career.  Moving is hard when you make friends who become your family away from your family.  I have such special friends all over the country.  Many who have become extensions to my heart and soul as my real family.  The last few months have been hard.  Moving to a new area and making new friends can be so hard.  I am a people-person.  I need people.  I need friends like a man needs sex!  LOL  It's essential to my well-being apparently.  

So today I took my Corbin to the park so we could go for a walk and get my "happy endorphins".  Let me just say, I did not get "happy" endorphins.  My lil spidermonkey did not want to walk and I had to carry him for 2 blocks and when I got him in the van, he ran to the back of the van and everytime I tried to reach him, he would run to the other side of the van and the whole time he has this little laugh that sounds like "hahahahahaha... try and get me if you can!"  Then when I went around the back of the van to get him, he ran out and I had to chase him around the parking lot.  I just sat down in the middle of the parking lot and was about to just lose it when Corbin comes to me.  He says "I sowwy.  I get in, momma.  See me?  I'm in.  We go bye-bye."  Bless his heart, I think he knew his momma was gonna go bat-shit crazy at the very moment he knew he better get his lil butt in that van.  SO now we are home.  We are chilling out and watching Bubble Guppies. 

I am feeling better now.  Sometimes I need to vent... Once I vent and get it all out there, I am good.  So, if any of yalls don't like my venting and can't love me unconditionally afterwards then F-You!  I am still a good person despite my opinions (politically or not!).  I am human.  I err.  I judge. I sin.  All things that are not good but it's what makes us human.  I know that most of us will never agree on anything when it comes to politics, religion, child rearing, etc...  it's just how life is.  PLUS if I don't vent, then who knows?...Maybe I will go postal!  

Anyways, I think I am going to lay down, let my Corbin waller and climb all over me, and eat this bag of mini chocolate chips.  

Much love to everyone.  I still love most of you... even if you voted for the communist.  <3

My Son Should Be An Actor!

My Super Mario

Hey yalls!  Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!  Ours was okay.  We didn't do as much trick or treating as we would have liked but the kids still have more than enough candy!  Connor dressed up as Super Mario and he played the part very well!  I can rarely get this kid to smile for me in pictures, let alone pose!  He had so much fun being Mario, that I got plenty of candid pics!  Corbin was a lil ninja!  A super cute one at that as you can see!

Getting that picture was no simple task of my youngest spidermonkey!  He moves fast!  He wouldn't wear the mask part, as they usually don't want to at 2 yrs old, so I decided to give him a lil moustache and goatee.  ;)    Cute ain't he?  He had a blast getting candy!  

My hubby got in the spirit of Halloween and dressed as a ninja too!  Here is a pic of him and the boys as we are fixing to head out for candy!  

I also dressed up a lil bit... I usually get into the spirit, but this year I just wore a moustache and a bat headband.  I was nothing inparticular.  Last year I dressed up as Mary Kate Olsen post-anorexia.  It got a lot of good laughs!  LOL  This year I was just a moustache mama.  =)

So I have to share with yalls the scare of my life that my oldest son gave me at the store yesterday.  He has gotten to the age where he refuses to use the ladies bathroom in public places.  He's almost 6 yrs old, so I understand where he is coming from.  Our rule is that the whole time he is in the bathroom, he has to sing so I know he is okay.  I know it sounds crazy to people who are outside or in the bathroom hearing it, but that's our safety thing. We have been working on the stranger danger lately.  If someone tries to take him and he does not know them or if he feels scared by an adult he doesn't know, that he is to yell "YOU ARE NOT MY MOM!  YOU ARE NOT MY DAD!  HELP!"  So I was probably 10 ft from the bathrooms.  I could hear him singing and I was looking at milk and eggs, and I hear "YOU ARE NOT MY MOM!  YOU ARE NOT MY DAD!  HELP!"  I got a knot in my stomach and pushed that cart as fast and hard as I could into that bathroom with my fists in the air!  I fearfully go "CONNOR!?!?!" and he says "Hey mom!  I am practicing for strangers while pooping!"  Oh. My. God.  He sounded so real and scared!  My heart was pounding and there was a woman who came running up behind me.  She asked if everything was okay and I told her it was, that he was practicing his stranger danger but scared the hell out of me in the process! She had heard him yell too and saw me run and she came too!  It was a damn good thing there was no man in that bathroom stall, innocent or not, because me and that woman were in Momma Bears Gonna Kick Some Ass mode.  It took 5 minutes for me to settle down... actually longer than that but my hands were shaking soooooooooooooooo bad!  So we had to have a talk about when to practice stranger danger, and practicing in the public bathroom is not a good place.  It's hilarious NOW, but wow, I was scared and pissed and raged and frightened... BUT I am so happy that the stranger danger has finally kicked in with him!  If someone we did not know would jokingly say to him "You want to come home with me?" and he would say "Do you have chocolate cake and soda?" or "What's your house like?".  Talk about scared momma here!  Any weirdo could have tempted my kid with soda and cake!  Geesh!  But we are beyond that now and he knows better than that now.  

Well, it's November yalls!   4 More days to vote!  I hope everyone has done their American duty.... well, the ones who are registered and here in the U.S. LEGALLY that is!  

I have to go.  Corbin has had God only knows how much candy this afternoon (i found his sucker stash in the toybox a bit ago).  There were several half sucked suckers and empty and chewed up sucker sticks laying around the bedroom!

Who knows what kind of stories I will have to share with yalls after this afternoon!!!!!!!
