Awesome/Awful Day

My day started out fantastic! I've been stoked to go get my old homemade tat covered up by my youngest son's actual baby footprints! I was so excited I could hardly sleep last night!

ugly old homemade tat

cool new footprints tat

Got my new tat done, with all my kiddos names there too. Also had him put "No Lies ~ Just Love" on my wrists. I love my new tats! Yes they hurt and yes the larger one is stinging quite a bit... But it's totally worth it!

So... sounds like a great day right? Well, mostly...



Right after we got in the BBB (big black beast - it's what I call my SUV) we noticed a wasp. A fraction of a second later we'd both jumped out! Now I don't know if it's from sitting there getting the tat on my leg for so long or maybe I hoped out of BBB the wrong way or what, but I somehow pulled a damn muscle! OMG! Really??? Finally getting past a shin splint and now I've got a stupid pulled muscle! To top it off, I hadn't done my 30 Day Shred (day 2 of level 2) yet and now I can't because of the fucking pulled muscle! It hurts way worse than the shin splint ever did!!! Like I could still push through a workout and walks with the shin splint, no way that's happening with a pulled muscle... It's beyond frustrating! I hate getting off schedule with my workouts! And then for some reason I started feeling like total crap... I can only guess my body was in a bit of shock after basically getting 3 tats. Luckily some H2O and crackers later that passed, but the pulled muscle still remains... Ugh! *Fingers crossed it's better by the AM, cause First Monday is calling my name!

So, that was my awesome/awful day... Mostly awesome with a dash of awful, guess that's no so bad. Now I'm just resting watching my lil ones plus on of my nieces play in the backyard while hubs prepares a late late dinner. Speaking of late, better get the kiddos inside! Ta Ta!

Birthday Fun Weekend!

Happy 5th Birthday! - We finally (better late than never!) celebrated my son Caleb's birthday! His actual bday was early this month, but with hub's job schedule up in the air and what not we kinda had to plan it when we could. It was sorta last minute and hectic, but I'm just glad we were able to have a party for the monkey!

We did have a mini party on his real bday, with cake and one present. Plus he had a lil celebration at school also. He got to be "King for the Day" on his bday at school. I brought snack cakes up there and got to see him sit on his "throne" and have all his classmates, I mean "subjects", bow to him. It was fun! I think my lil man was a bit shy by all the attention he got that day! LOL!

Right around his bday he got money via Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, so we took him to the store and he got his very first Beyblade. Also due to Grandma and Grandpa B having to go out of town, he got another early present last week! This boy was spoiled all month, let me tell ya!


And finally this Sat we had a bday party for the rascal! Yay! He chose Cars as his theme. We did it at a nice park in a nearby town (love that park!). We are grateful to all who came! It was so last minute I swear! Weather was great, cake turned out fantastic, kids had a blast.... All in all it was a super day! And next month we get ta do it all again, cause my oldest son will be turning 12! Omg time flies! Later this year my eldest will officially be a teen!!! Yikes!

The very next day after Caleb's party, we got to enjoy some Chuck-E-Cheese time for my nephews 6th bday! Tons of bday fun this weekend! (And last weekend too!) Whew! I'm worn out!!! Better rest up now... Next weekend I'm scheduled for a new tat and it's 1st Monday! Who knows... we may get a bunny???? We'll see....  My guess is we'll walk and walk and walk some more, "window shop", look at animals including bunnies, and eventually leave with no more than we came! Usual 1st Monday for me! At most I may pick up a new sign for the kitchen... Hmmm... that'd be cool!

Well, here's some pics of the bday boy over the month. And one pic of my handsome nephew Zach with his dad (my oldest bro).

Who knew silly string could make a kid cry???

just love how well his Cars cake turned out!!!!

And a Happy Birthday to Zach also!

Ta Ta folks!

Gonna take some getting used to...

Tonight was hubs first night shift... Not sure how I feel about it just yet.


 I like that he'll be home during the day, although much of that time will be spent sleeping... Guess that's not too different from usual lol! J/k... Hubs loves his sleep though! He'll get to spend more time with the lil kiddos, so that's good! The boys miss their daddy when he's gone all day!


I don't like the idea of going to bed alone at all! Guess that's why I'm up blogging at nearly  midnight... That and the fact that I'm waiting to talk to hubs when he goes on lunch break. That's not true, I'd be up at this hour regardless. Still gonna be hard to go to sleep without him here, that I'm sure of! 


Right now I'm missing hubs terribly... Feeling lonely with all the kiddos asleep :( 


Hopefully I get used to this new schedule asap! I can't stay up till I pass out every damn night... Gotta be able to get up to get the kiddos up for school in the am. Hubs won't be here for that either... That's right, I have to go to bed and wake up without him. Boo! 


Yea he leaves well before bed time and doesn't return till right before the older kiddos get on the bus. This caused us to have to do dinner at like 4:30pm! Ugh! 


Now I'm just soooooo bored!!! Where's hubby when I need him??? Oh, that's right... work! Blah work! 


On a completely unrelated note: Watched the season finale of Pretty Little Liar's (yes I'm a closet PLL fan!) today. Wasn't at all surprised to see who "A" was, or shall I say one of the "A's". And like every freakin episode, I'm left wanting more and left with more questions... Damn, have to wait till next season to not get any answers!!! I've decided I must start reading the books! Like as soon as I get a new fucking charger for my NOOK I'm purchasing the first book... then the next and the next and on and on (cause there's a butt load of them!!!). 


Ok, well I'm prob gonna do a fit/flab blog and hopefully hubs will have called by then... And after that I'm gonna try my best to sleep... TaTa!

My Fav Nails Thus Far!

Those who know me know I've become totally obsessed with my nails! I pin every nail tutorial in sight! I got super excited and bought some Konad online, then completely failed at it... But I won't give up! I love nails and I get so proud of myself when I do a great job on my nails!

Here's some of my fav nails I've done thus far....

Black/Glitter Nail - No pic will ever do these nails justice! 

Farewell to McDs nails! I think I did the french fry boxes fairly well.

Absolutely loved how these Pink Skull nails turned out!

Smiley nail - my first attempt at cute non-plain nails.

Girly Glitter Zigzag nails - My latest/greatest nails thus far!

Still gotta master my Konad, but until then I've got plenty other ideas saved on Pinterest! I'm quickly becoming a nail junky... Now there's so many nail supplies and such I want! Magnetic nail polish, gel nails, soooo many awesome colors out there I want, nail pens, and the list goes on! Sooooo many tutorials to try also! Sure I'll be posting more on my growing nail addiction!

Ta Ta!

2 Weeks Notice :]

Turned in my 2wks last Sat.... So, one more week and I'm officially no longer a McDs employee!!!! I hated working there! Glad to be leaving the place!

Overall I'm super happy, but I have a met some cool folks I'll miss... But it's time for me to move on. My gas guzzling suv is further motivation to leave a job I have to drive 20-30mins to. My plan is to take a bit of time off, enjoy my kiddos and relax some. Then I'll be on the hunt for a new job either closer by, or maybe via the web... Who knows! We've talked about me going ahead and attending massage therapy school, since that's what I'm wanting to do. Nothing is set in stone as of now....

My absolute ideal would be to actually find something I could do working from home AND go to school. That'd be the best of both worlds if ya ask me! I'd have plenty time with my kiddos (who insist on growing up way too fast) and I'd be working toward something better for me, something I'd not hate doing and make more money at than fast food (YUCK!).

For now, I'm saying adios to the hell hole I've been at for too long now... Thank goodness! Also, keeping my fingers crossed and be praying for guidance for the road ahead. I'm excited for what's to come! Don't know what exactly that is yet, but anything is better than McDs!!! Only thing left to say now... Goodbye McDs!
