Yes I admit I am one of those women that just loves women’s shoes. I have been that way all of my life. My mother used to have a time keeping me out of her closet and her shoes. Now that I can buy shoes online, I am definitely a happy girl. I not only save money but time too which I have very little of with children and everything else I have going on. Maybe you might even like to check out my new favorite shoe store.
Funny ‘Mom’ story
I can identify with this unfortunately!!!
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room.
While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him if he needed to go, and he said “No”.
I kept thinking “Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don’t have any clean clothes with me.” Then I said, “Danny, are you SURE you didn’t have an accident?” “No,” he replied.
I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. So, I asked one more time, “Danny, did you have an accident?”
This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled “SEE MOM, IT’S JUST FARTS!!”
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An older couple made me feel better, thanking me for the best laugh they’d ever had!
I need new shoes
The kids get new shoes every week it seems but I just realized that I need new shoes. I love Dansko brand shoes. They have some really pretty clogs that are really comfortable. I also love the value of them. They really last a long time. Well that is unless your daughter wears them out in a mud puddle that is. I was fit to be tied!!!
This is very important. It only takes a few seconds
This is a very important email I got from my mother who is a nurse about a Proposed Mastectomy Law Change and was written by a surgeon;
I’ll never forget the look in my patients’ eyes when I had to tell them they had to go home with the drains, new exercises and no breast. I remember begging the doctors to keep these women in the hospital longer, only to hear that they would, but their hands were tied by the insurance companies.
So there I sat with my patient giving them the instructions they needed to take care of themselves, knowing full well they didn’t grasp half of what I was saying, because the glazed, hopeless, frightened look spoke louder than the quiet ‘Thank you’ they muttered.
A mastectomy is when a woman’s breast is removed in order to remove cancerous breast cells/tissue. If you know anyone who has had a mastectomy, you may know that there is a lot of discomfort and pain after wards. Insurance companies are trying to make mastectomies an outpatient procedure. Let’s give women the chance to recover properly in the hospital for 2 days after surgery.
This Mastectomy Bill is in Congress now. It takes 2 seconds to do this and is very important. Please take the time and do it really quick! The Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill is important legislation for all women.
Please send this to everyone in your address book. If there was ever a time when our voices and choices should be heard, this is one of those times. If you’re receiving this, it’s because I think you will take the 30 seconds to go to vote on this issue and send it on to others you know who will do the same.
There’s a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy. It’s about eliminating the ‘drive-through mastectomy’ where women are forced to go home just a few hours after surgery, against the wishes of their doctor, still groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached.
What a beautiful Saturday!
Today was one of the first Saturdays that the sun has shined all day in a long time. I thought it would be a perfect day to take my children to the park for a picnic. They had a blast. I packed their favorite sandwiches, chips, pickles and juice for them and then threw in some watermelon just for good measure. The kids played so hard and had a blast.
We haven’t had so much fun in a long time. I even got on the playground equipment with them. There was an old mill there that they used to grind corn into cornmeal and the kids were fascinated by it. I hope we have another great weather day on the weekend soon because there are a lot of parks that aren’t that far from us to explore.
Phone number lookup
If you’ve got a phone number that keeps showing up on your caller ID, or do you have someones phone number and want to know their address? Nationwide Phone Look up can help you find out who’s calling and not leaving a message or help you to find someones address when all you have is their name and phone number. That can come in awfully handy if you really need to find someone. It can also come in handy if someone is calling and leaving obscene messages too. You just can’t be too careful in this day in time especially when you’re a single Mom. Oh that web site is nationwidephonelookup.com. It might come in handy!!!
Spicy Town
My younger cousin sent me an email, inviting me to “meet her online” in Spicy Town. Spicy Town is a fictitious town in an online video game produced by the company that sells Slim Jim spicy snacks. So I went to the online game site to meet my cousin there. I had to create an avatar to use to play the game. It was kind of fun, creating the avatar. The avatar was called my “spicy side.” Setting up my “spicy side” was quick, easy, and amusing. I had to take a picture of myself and upload it to their site, then their program helped center my facial features around their pre-drawn outline of facial features, then they make a funny little creature with horns and funky hair, and then they turned me loose into the video game.
During the game I was supposed to go around collecting Slim Jim’s that I found lying around on the ground. I only found three, but I only played for a few minutes, trying to find my cousin. There were other people’s avatars in the game walking around too. Some seemed to be fighting with each other (I don’t know why, maybe one insulted the other, those spicy sides are unpredictable and uncontrollable!) some were just walking around ranting and raving. The game has chat functions and buddy lists, but I didn’t stay on it long enough to check those out, had to many other things that were demanding my attention at that time.
If you want to play the game yourself, go to spicyside.com!
Pig captured by using french fries as bait
It was with mixed emotions that I read the article on the local newspaper’s web-site, that the Vietnamese Pot Bellied pig that has been running loose since early March has been captured. I had been hoping that the pig would be captured soon because I was afraid someone would kill him and eat him, so I was glad that he has been caught and is now safe and sound. And I thought it was funny that the bait used to catch him was french fries. Seems to me you could catch a lot of things using french fries as bait!
What did upset me was reading that the police captured him by baiting him with fries and then using a taser to stun the little guy! In the long run, however, the guy is caught and is safe, and that is the important thing!
Now I know where they get them
You’ve seen the kids in their funky clothes these days just like I have. In fact, my kids have been asking for some of them but I have never seen a rave clothing store until I found this one online at beatdropscloset.com.
Now I know where they find all those things they wear. I must admit I do like some of the things the girls are wearing like the furry boots. They remind me of Cher when she first started with Sunny. Pretty neat if you ask me. Some of the clothes I’m not that crazy about so the kids will just have to be happy with what I get.
Now this judge just might have the answer
I don’t know about you but I hate to be driving down the road, have to stop at a light or stop sign and hear someone elses extremely loud music booming so loud you can’t even hear your own radio.
I really hate to admit it but I can’t remember who the judge is or even what state or city he is doing this but what this judge noticed was that there were a number of repeat offenders showing up in his court room charged with noise violations. Most of them were kids who’s parents simply paid their fine and off they went, only to return again at a later date, charged with the same thing yet again.
After giving it a little thought, he decided to sentence the repeat offenders to one hour of listening to different types of loud music from Barney singing ‘I love you, you love me’ to Barry Manilow singing ‘I can’t smile without you.’ After the hour was over, he would give them a little survey and if there happened to be a song in his collection he played that kept showing up as one that happened to be liked, it was removed and something else was added in it’s place.
He wants to make sure that most of the music is not something the kids like so they can finally learn what it’s like to have to listen to music they don’t want to listen to. The towns people have reported that it is working because there is much less noise all over the city. I think they need to start doing this everywhere.
