WATCH OUT!!!!
I saw the funniest thing today.. It was a souped-up Ford Excursion.. The door was about 3 ft from the ground and ...(here's the kicker) there was a Handicapped license plate on the back...I wish I had taken a pic.. It was great...

Wake Up....
"You shouldn't be telling our problems to your friends"! I guess I just don't grasp this statement. About 8 years ago, hubby tried something along that line and I immediately told him he will never tell me who I can and cant talk to about what I want to talk to them about. And so, the subject has never come up again.. I was recently told this morning while speaking with a very good friend, that she should not be talking to me about whats going on.. Now, here is my problem.. The guy is new in her life where-as I have been there for about 6 years. She happens to be going through allot in her life right now and it happens to be rolling over into her relationship. So, who should she talk to about what she is going through? Nobody?? I understand that somethings are not everybodys business, and I understand that guys generally don't talk to other guys like we talk to other girls, but come on. How many times in 1 week do I need to hear this statement from multiple people.
This is probably why women tend to be more "well rounded" then men. Its strange how many instances in which that statement occurs.. And how relationships tend to fight over it. Thankfully my hubby sucked it up and has dealt with it for 8 years..And that probably why my relationship with my friends is never strained. They don't have to hide from the hubby and hubby doesn't care if I need to venting partner..lol Love ya babe

Starbucks...-NO MORE
Hubby has been on me for years to be a better saver/spender... I've never complied well with this before. But now the reality of saving is setting in. There are allot of things that we(or should I say I I I..) want to be able to do/have, and at the rate I am going/spending, this is not going to happen. So, as of today, I am going to be making more conscientious decisions on what I spend money on..
That means, no more Starbucks, no more eating out everyday, no more shopping for things that I don't need(well, want is the more appropriate word)!
Hubby is now getting what he wants!!hahaha WIFE TO SAVE $$$$..

Wonderfull...
It was about mid-afternoon when I received the phone call from my 4 yr olds pediatrician calling to inform me of my sons blood work results. Oh, let me back up. Jorden, my son, has had issues poop training ass well as allergy issues. Doc put him on some allergy meds that would help with the constant sneezing, running/stuffy nose. She also put him on some heavy duty over the counter stool softeners to help him poop.. As far as everything else goes, life went on as normal.(back to blood results)
He is allergic to milk, egg whites, and shrimp.. Ok, so no shrimp, that's fine, he doesn't like them anyways.. But milk and egg whites!!!:( Im a HUGE Paula Dean Fan.. ) BUTTER BUTTER BUTTER ) Im screwed.. I start doing some research to find out that just about everything I buy or make, has milk and eggs in the ingredients... The egg whites can also cause histamine reactions in people( which explains the allergy issues) and the milk protein can cause constipation getting more sever with prolonged use ( this now explains the poop issue) So, on my day off today, I hit the supermarket.. I half gallon of Almond milk $3.99, 1 small tub of Earth Balance butter $3.49... Did you know that there is milk proteins in half the things that most of us eat on a daily bases... So, now my son is being put on a vegan dairy/egg diet...
Thank goodness I have met a vegan of I would have NO IDEA what to give my son in place off all the yummy things he can no longer have.. Next week, Im hitting this store in Tampa (Whole Foods) which should provide me with more options on dairy for him...
