Last year David had some major oral surgery, which at the time was pretty intense and not so fun. But a year later it’s pretty dang funny. Really anytime someone starts talking about going to the dentist I start laughing thinking back to when David had his mouth worked on.

We get to the dentist and he goes in and tells them that he’s probably going to gag. They tell him it’s fine we do this everyday. Umm yeah not happening they send him out with a prescription to go pick up to help him with his phobia of people sticking their fingers in his mouth. So we head to the pharmacy to get it filled. The pharmacist says you may have some memory loss. I’m thinking “Woah what is this stuff” He takes it along with some pain pill they told him to take right before and some other crap to calm him down.

Yes he was totally out of it. 5 minutes before they call him back in he leans over to me and says “The walls are breathing”. I stifle back a giggle since the room is filled with people and don’t want to cause a scene. He then starts laughing at some guy sitting across from us. I’m thinking ” Great this guys going to come kick his a**” I whisper in David’s ear “What are you laughing at that guy for?” he tells me that the guy has two heads. OMG!

When it’s all over with and they call me back. First thing he does is smile at me with gauze stuffed in his mouth. He looks like a chipmunk and then when the nurse is telling me how to take care of him. David is making little blah, blah, blah gestures behind her back.

The pharmacist was right too, he only remembers parts of this story.

My Dad wouldn’t let me get mine pierced until I was in the 3rd grade. Which maybe I should have waited longer because I took them out and never put them back in so I had to get them done TWICE. My MIL and SIL didn’t get their ears pierced until about 10 years ago. They are 30 something and 60 something.

The other night Ava asked me “Does it hurt to get your ears pierced?” I told her just for a second. It feels a little bit like a bee sting. I then asked her why she wanted to know. She told me she wanted to get them pierced. I’m assuming this is because her friend wants to get hers pierced before Christmas. Which really is not a big deal to me. I think she’s old enough. I just don’t know if David will agree. You know how Dad’s are.

Ava then told me “Did you know there are little preschoolers with their ears pierced at school?”
I said ” Yes…Did you know some people get their babies ear pierced. Kids the age of your brother and younger”
Ava: “That’s dumb…babies are already cute they don’t need earrings!”

Do not buy clothes without trying them on.

Sunday we went to the mall to do some Christmas shopping, after being there 2 hours I started to get burnt and ready to go. I was starving and sick and tired of fighting the crowds. So my last was something for me. I haven’t bought myself anything in a LONG time so I decided to treat myself to a few new shirts. I was so tired I really didn’t feel like trying them on. So I didn’t….big mistake. I know I know this is rule numero uno! I just couldn’t do it. I was so hungry that my stomach felt like it was going to eat it’s self.

I get home and try on the first two shirts. Perfect fit. Love them. Now for my favorite of the 3. I could not pull the thing over my boobs. I finally get it on and realize it has to be zipped on the side. Yeah that’s not going to happen. David tried to help me…he kept telling me ” Just suck it in…you know in the old days they had to do this”. So I take it off. Which was harder then getting the thing on.

Then the light bulb goes on in my head. Zip it up and then put it on. Ok…I get it over my head but this time it’s really not wanting to go over my boobage. I’m pulling the girls from the top and David is pushing them from the bottom. After what seemed like a hour I get the shirt on. The only problem is if I move the thing is going to rip to pieces. AHHH! So I will be going back and trying to find another one that FITS right. Which probably won’t happen since it was on the clearance rack. Pooh…I really like that shirt too! Oh well you live you learn right.

That would be how I describe what happens to me occasionally. It’s like *bam* you see every single dirt speck and you all of a sudden have to clean, clean, clean. Here’s how it normally happens to me.

I will be cleaning up the kitchen and putting dinner away and then I notice things that somehow get by me during the day. The next thing I know I have everything pulled out of the fridge and I’m scrubbing it down. Why must it bother me all of a sudden.

Here’s another example…I’m putting clothes away and decide that I need to rearrange the closet. So I must color code and hang everything up the way I think it should be.

Maybe I just have a bit of OCD I don’t know. Most of the time it drives my husband crazy. Not that he does not enjoy having a clean house…it’s just that these things happen at the wierdest times. Right before bed, when I’m supposed to be doing something else. Like I’m supposed to just being doing a quick pick up and I end up alphabetizing the Dvd’s or the books. Things like that. Thinking about it makes me feel like Bree on Desperate Housewives. Please tell me I’m not the only one who goes into Clean Freak Mode.

I recently had the chance to review a couple products from Born Free.
BornFree™ specializes in producing smart and safe baby products.
BornFree™ has developed a range of products baby bottles, cups and accessories that is totally free of the potentially dangerous chemicals Bisphenol-A (BPA), Phthalates and PVC.

The first product was the Orthodontic Silicone Pacifier

New from BornFree™, the BPA-Free Pacifier for Day and Night Use is an orthodontic silicone pacifier with a flexible handle that retains its shape and doesn’t hamper sleep. Made from materials that are 100% free of Bisphenol-A, Phthalates and PVC, the BornFree™ pacifier also features an orthodontic collapsible teat that encourages the natural development of baby’s teeth and gums and a breathable shield to reduce skin irritation and protect sensitive skin.

Rush took to these pacifiers…and he’s not really a pacifier guy. My favorite thing about them was the flexible handle. Now only does it not hamper sleep but it seemed much easier for him to pick up.

The next product was the Born Free Training Cup.

The first ever, BornFree™ Bisphenol-A Free plastic training cup, with a low vacuum valve, designed to create a free flow of liquid for your child’s comfort.

When I handed Rush the Trainer cup, he knew exactly what to do with it. He grabbed the handles and put it right into his mouth. You can also take the handles off and use it more like a bottle. With a soft spout it was similar to his bottles and made it easier for him to realize what he was supposed to do with it. It didn’t leak either which was great. I’ve tried similar products over the years with my other children and they always seemed to get to much milk from the spout.

One day, Trisha was outside going for a walk. She really hated to walk, in fact, she downright despised it. This was because…….

she was tired of the nasty old men who would pervertedly let out cacophonous wolf whistles as she would hike down the road. Trisha hated feeling like a sex object, despite her night job as a lap dancer at the local T&A bar.

Working at the T&A Bar, Trisha makes AWESOME Money from the men AND women that wont ever go home. One day Trisha got fed up with the bar and headed to a nudist beach

Being utterly disgusted by the fat men at the beach, Trisha decided to start a campaign to exile any overweight men, so the beach would no longer be an eyesore. This quest however, ticked off all the wives who thought their hubbys were fat yet fabulous.So she decided that this was not the place for her. She headed back to her hometown, and on the way she saw a house that was completely decked out in Halloween decor. “It’s only July, for crying out loud!” she thought. This person needs to be taught a lesson. So Trisha decided to….Toliet Paper the guys house to add decorations!! Then the next night, she forked his yard! (She really loves watching his reactions in the morning!!)
He isn’t quite sure what to do with the forks. Well he knows is it’s going to be such a pain to mow the lawn.Trisha is so happy with herself for playing these little pranks that she brags to all her friends about it. She even puts it on her website!

This man/neighbor finds out and comes running over to her house and passes chris in the garage killing black widows. He asks Chris about the angels and the other christmas decor and Chris starts to panic. Not knowing what to say Chris runs inside and grabs Trisha. Trisha says to the man………….

I really didn’t want to be a snitch but I do know who is responsible for it. It was Kim’s crazy neighbor, she thinks the world is ending and the only way to save it is………..

THis has been one heck of a week and it’s
only Tuesday…wait scratch that it’s
Wednesday. Told you it’s been a heck of a
week so far.

Sunday we went to Lowes twice
yes twice. We’ve been remodeling. It’s
looking so great and I can’t wait for it to be
finished. Monday Hubs took the day off so
we could spend some time together…it was
our 13th anniversary on Tuesday. We did
some work around the house. Remember the
remodeling. We also took his truck and
dropped it off at the shop to have some
things fixed. Poor Truck hasn’t sounded very
happy lately. It’s been moaning and
groaning. Putting a bunch of tile in the back
seemed to make it even madder. They are
fixing some U-joints and other things I have
no clue about.

Hubs took me out to dinner
Monday night. The only down side to dinner
was the people sitting in the booth behind
us. The guy kept moaning…I’m not sure
what his deal was. Either the food was
orgasmic or he had really bad heartburn. It
was rather annoying.

Oh and I forgot before
we left for dinner I started the dryer and
walked off. I smelt smoke like plastic was
burning and then the smoke detector went
off. I run into the laundry room where the
smoke is coming from. MY DRYER CAUGHT ON
FIRE!!! The plug in the back just caught fire.
I’m just glad we were here. Sometimes I
start the dryer and leave or start it when
we go to bed. I won’t be doing that anymore.
So before we went out to eat we stopped at
LOWEs again. The 3rd time in 2 days and
bought a new one. That was fun because the
truck was in the shop and we had to fit the
thing in my car. Hubs said that should have
been a commercial for the car. “We’re not
sure what you’re going to do with your
car…but we do know a dryer will fit in the
back.

It’s everywhere…When I turn on the TV I hear about it. When I turn on the radio I hear it there also. It’s all over the papers and magazines. It’s all over the web….but I never thought it would reach my children. No they are just to young. It would never reach them. Ahhhh…..but it has.

This morning Miss Priss told me that Mary and Beary are running for PRESIDENT! (her stuffed animals) That is the game they are playing today. WOW!

I do…this takes practice, patience and endurance.
When waking the grizzly bear make sure you speak in a pleasant tone so you don’t startle it. Once it opens it’s eyes keep coaxing it to get up. Sometimes it’s takes a few tries to accomplish this part.
Once the Grizzly is up make sure you have everything ready to go. He/She will be a little grumpy but you can get the job done.
Now my grizzly is picky about what it wears so it takes a LOT of effort to get it to wear what you feel is best. Just this morning Grizzly did not want to wear pants he wanted to wear shorts. My Grizzly isn’t very fuzzy and when it’s cold he need extra coverage so pants are a must on cold days. I finally got the job done and he was all ready.
Another tip is to keep the other cubs away because they can start fighting early in the morning.
