I never thought I would be a blogger but I'm glad I tried it out. It took sometime to get used to it and now I can't stop. This is about the day to day excitements of being a mom, wife, daughter, friend, or just a plain woman doing her thing.
Thanks for reading. Have a nice day!**

My $100 Hair Straightner!!
Get home and wanted to kill the dog. (Just note I love animals, it's just an expression) Rebecca, my 65-70 lbs Chocolate Lab ATE MY $100 HAIR STRAIGHTENER!!!! OMG, I wouldn't have cared so much but for that it was $100! Maybe a $30, $20, even those cheapy $10 ones but $100....I was so mad. She also ate the bathroom rug, which I don't care about since we are remodeling the bathroom anyways, just gives me an excuse to go shopping. :)
On another note, I had to clean out the spare room, we are having some guests stay with us for a while. Spencer's buddy from work and his fiance. At least for a month I think, while they search for a house around here since she can't stay in the barracks, also she's 2 months pregnant, so I'm not about to throw a pregnant person out on the street. He will be coming tonight and be picking her up tomorrow from the airport. Can't remember where she is from.
Looks like stuff is starting to look up.

Same Ol' Same
Nothing else that's new on this end, Spencer goes to work, I stay at home and Hayden runs a muck, hyper and walking on the ceiling. He's definitely a healthy and strong 3 year old, that likes to cause mommy with the need to pull out her hair. I am sooo ready for it to warm up outside so I can send him & the dogs out in the back. And also complete some outside construction work that I didn't get to finish last year.
Wow I can't believe that in March we will be home owners for a full year.

GoodBye 2010
Some New Year's resolutions include:
1. Along everyone else, being more active.
2. Paint the kitchen & bathroom
3. Save money
4. Organize
5. I will spend less than one hour a day on the Internet. This, of course, will be hard to estimate since I'm not a clock watcher.
6. Cut down on junk food (aka Hot Cheetos)
7. Cut down on sodas (aka Dr. Pepper)

Merry Christmas
Visited with other family members for the 10 days that Spencer has off. Headed back to NC tomorrow, day after Christmas. Should be fun.
This year so far I've bought for myself I have given a new haircut and acrylic nails. Which the nails may going soon. I can't remember the last time I had these nails but I know it's been a long time. Most of the stuff that I have a problem with is my phone keys and opening things. I've been giving it time but I'm getting irritated. Lol.
Hayden got from Santa a Vtech Camera and it hold up to 500 pictures. We got that for him so he'd leave mine alone. So he's off taking pictures. I'm probably going to make him his own Facebook just filled with his pictures so that the family can see what a good picture taker he is. Not bad either.
December 7, 2010
I think Spencer was sorry...
He brought me this last night when he came home. I think he was sorry because he knew I was right the day before.
For the past, oh week, I've been telling him he needs to get a ladder to get on the roof to hang the rest of the lights since I can't reach that high and if I get on the roof I ain't coming down. Well he said he was 100% sure that he could get up there without a ladder. sure.....
Well the night before he was going to get up there and he realized, oh hey, I need a ladder. ***head desk*** So he went next door to borrow one from the neighbor. I knew it wasn't tall enough because these are old people and they don't need to be climbing. Well, it was off a foot or two. ***double head desk*** It irritated me more because we were out that day and before, during and after driving past Lowes & Home Depot I checked with him again.
So right now we have hanging lights in our walkway from the area I could reach, and all these other decor in the yard not lite up because someone couldn't listen to the wife, who knows what the hell she's talking about.November 24, 2010
I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving since half of us won't be here tomorrow ... aka me :)
Hope everyone has a safe, baby-making, face-stuffing, family gathering, wishing for no drama (from friends and/or family), head in the oven and turkey, beating the Black Friday crowds, no emergency room because the turkey didn't want to be fried... Holiday! (I'm pretty sure there are more stuff that I can describe but can think of any)
While searching the net for a funny Thanksgiving picture I found this:
Roasted Turkey Pringles??
Well we were supposed to have people over tomorrow, but not so much anymore. For some reason we get invited to parties but when it comes to hosting our own party everyone else has plans, etc. Oh well, who needs them any-who, the 3 of us & the dogs can have our own party.
But for some miracle people come over, they have to bring their own food because last minute calls were a week ago when I did grocery shopping.
The Avon business is slowly going. Still not sure if I'll stick with it come the New Year. I mean I still have orders coming in, but actually making it my full/part-time job...a little iffy on it.
November 10, 2010
I spend 25 minutes searching for the code, that is still missing by the way, to shut the alarm off. It finally shut off by itself, but I was running around the house searching all the places where it could be, calling Spencer asking him if he knows it, telling him to call our Real Estate person and see if she still has it. But no luck.
But don't have to worry. Hayden won't be touching it anytime soon. And by the time he should want to touch it, we should have found out what it is, or changed it.
This morning I had to call the Dr's Office and reschedule my appointment since Spencer wouldn't have been able to come get me. So I call, and the nurse asked why I was canceling it. I told her, and before I got off the phone with her she has the nerve to say, "Make sure you get the car next time, so you don't have to cancel".
Mind your own business lady. You don't control my life, you don't know me. Unless you want to give me a car to use, shut your mouth. I wish I had gotten her name, but Hayden was screaming and it was early.

Quick Update
As you can see from my previous post, my brother died.
And Halloween basically sucked. For some stupid reason the county we are in decided to celebrate Halloween the day before, since Halloween fell on a Sunday and thought that it was sacrilegious. Whatever, they don't even know the true meaning of Halloween then. (Before you start changing the holidays, do your research!) Anyways, Halloween was a bust because this house celebrated it on Sunday, the day that it was supposed to be on. Hayden still had a blast but everyone's light was off, and we have mountains of candy since no kids came. And since some of our friends felt the same way they didn't come over so I had extra punch made.

Yesterday my mom's co-worker/friend died & Spencer's grandmother died.
Can we have happiness & joyful experiences now?!?!
But on another note, besides of all the crap, the Texas visit was nice. We will be returning to Texas in December for Christmas. Driving this time tho. We just don't have the money for another 3 plane tickets. We will also be taking the dogs with us too. Know they will be glad for some travel too!
It's getting colder outside. I think it started getting colder here a couple days before Halloween (Sunday). I'm def. going outside with a long sleeve shirt if not also with a sweater/jacket, also putting those closed toe shoes on too.

Christie's 24th Birthday At Kemah & Texas Roadhouse

Hayden, Haleigh, & Brooklynn
He loved the Sting Rays. Got to feed them too


October 6, 2010
Please note: I am afraid of heights......
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was thinking of random airplane songs or puns or jokes whatever, like stuff while traveling, came to my mind this morning.
I posted this on Facebook earlier : "Tooommoorrrrooww Tomorrow I'll See Ya'll Tomoorrooww It's Ooonnllyy A Daaaayyy Aaaawaaayy!!"------from Annie
"I'm leaving, on a jet plane. I don't know when I'll be back again.....''-----Armageddon
*If you step onto a plane and recognize a friend of yours named Jack don't yell out Hi Jack!
*He became a sky diver out of the blue.
*Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.
*The propeller is just a big fan in the front of the plane to keep the pilot cool. Want proof? Make it stop; then watch the pilot break out into a sweat




October 5, 2010
Hayden started freaking out earlier because I told him that we weren't leaving today. He is so ready. The last time he was on a plane was like 2 years ago....before he turned 1. (I think)
This time he gets his own seat. I have provided him a coloring book and 2 books with some toys....I even put a movie on the iPod just in case with a BUNCH of songs.
I come prepared. lol
Spencer leaves really early that morning too. So we are trying to figure out if there is going to be a point in sleeping at all, Well for Hayden yes. I'll do my best on trying to get a nap sometime tomorrow to help it out.

Fall is here!


Going to Texas on Thursday. Flying of course. There is NO way I'm driving 20 hours by myself. I mean I'm going to have Hayden but still. Plus if I was driving I would take the dogs with me, since I'm flying I'm boarding them cuz I'm not paying for them to fly. It's would probably cost more.
So happy that my new phone is arriving today. Hopefully soon so I can activate it. Rebecca, the 65lb Chocolate Lab, stepped on it about a month ago, and cracked the screen of it. Since it's a touch screen I couldn't answer it or anything, so I had to go and switch back to my old, battery draining, P.O.S. flip phone. So I'm like dying here waiting for my phone to arrive. I ordered it Friday and it's supposed to be an over-night thing, but since they don't want it delivered on a Saturday and mail doesn't work on Sundays I had to wait. UGH!

I'm a horrible Avon Rep
Guess maybe I should've gone with Pampered Chef...since I like cooking. Maybe I can do both....I dunno...I'm going to stick with Avon for a little while longer and if nothing I'll switch to something else. It should pick up since I'm going through the airport(s) next week so "BROCHURES AHOY!!"
Hahaha! Anywho...hopefully while I'm in Texas I can get my transcripts from my High School & College so I can sign up and take classes this next semester....of course I'm going to need my car fixed before then, and also get Hayden set up for daycare...and all that wonderful fun stuff.
September 28, 2010
Now the reason why I'm so freaking scared of these damn f'ers is because 5-6 years ago I was at my friend Christie's house. She had this tree that hung over the driveway (it was like 10pm-11pm ), I was holding a flashlight for her aunt so she could see inside the car since the light went out and I soon then felt something on my head. Yup, your right, a roach! I start freaking out I drop the flashlight and started screaming, then more of them start to fall.
At this point I am freaking the "F" out and I'm running down the street screaming without a shirt. About 10-15 minutes later, cops show up, and I had to apologize for freaking out like that. The cop gave me a warning and drove off. I soon then got in my car and drove off myself freaking the fuck out.
Never been the same since. LOL
So Christie and me now have our own site. It is called Tutu's, Tote's & More. I originally had this site created for my crafts, but recently Christie has started making Tutu's & Bows, etc so I figured that we should combine our creative selves and our minds together and make a site. Now, my part of the creative-ness won't be available until I get back from Texas but Christie's is still good to go. I know not a good way to start a site, but it was kinda out of the blue.
I can't remember if I told you if I was going to Texas yet or not. (I'm not going back and searching right now) But anyways, me and Hayden are going to Texas in Oct. Spencer won't be joining us, :( , because he's going to be doing some training for the Army. (sorry can't tell you where, or when) BUT, we are still going to have fun. Going to the Texas Renaissance Festival too. I think I have been EVERY year except for the year Hayden was born. Too close to the due date, etc. Wasn't going to chance it. But anywho, I can't wait. Hayden will be old enough this year to do more stuff and understand it.

I got this idea from another Youtube blogger that I'm actually subscribed to called ShayTards, I know weird name but sooo funny. Anyways he's been on Youtube for like 2-3 years. Possibly 2 going to 3, but anyways. I don't want to really copy him or anything, but I'm going to start off that way. I already have some videos on there for my Avon, but being a stay-at-home mom, working for Avon, having a kid and 2 dogs, and a husband that works all the time....gotta keep myself busy. There are going to be some limits, having my hubby dear in the military I can't show you everything. So if I film something that can't be seen or Spencer doesn't want it to be public I'll be cutting it out. Sooooooo.....

Snot, flem, and baby rub
18 more days till I leave for Houston. Can't wait. Not a big fan of flying but I'm not driving the 20 hours by myself with Hayden from here to Houston. Not gonna happen, plus my mom would kill me.
Hopefully when I take my trip through the airport I can drop off a few brochures at random places to boost my sales through Avon. I'm just hoping that business with Avon gets better. I know everyone doing a at home business deal like what I'm doing has a rough start but I'm keeping on trying.
Don't forget that I made an Avon blog. You can get to it by clicking on my picture on the side bar and it will take it straight to it. It should be able to help you know all the new products that are coming out. I'm linking all my videos from YouTube to them, and all the news, specials, etc. If there is anything that you would like to see let me know and I'll do my best to add it.
September 16, 2010
I actually considered switching places with Spencer last night for about a week. He can be Mr. Mom, and I'll go to work. Yup, I think that will work. At least for a week. He thinks my job is so fucking easy. I know his is hard and shit and I'm not saying it's not but he thinks that he will do a great job at it. Yeah....okay.....so that's why when I came home last night from Verizon he was still on the computer....still haven't taken a shower....and the kid destroyed the living room, oh and still haven't eaten. Sure......good fucking job.
September 15, 2010
I heard him crying (cuz he knows he's in trouble) and I'm walking into the living room and I already smell it. I'm like what the hell is that smell. I see pink on his foot so I'm already thinking, CRAP! So I follow the smell and low and behold, HOT PINK NAIL POLISH. Just what I needed for the day. To clean, like I don't have enough already.
I will post pictures later. I'm going to go soak it some more.
September 14, 2010
No new additions of stories lately. I really am trying to get on here regularly but when nothing to talk about happens, kind of hard to write about nothing.
September 9, 2010
Early Morning?...I think so
But it's all good. I needed to wake up this early anyways, so I can deliver my brochures. Which I've been putting off for a while. I still need to make out notes and put them in the bags, which I think I need to make 25-30 notes. So I've got to make the note short as possible so I'm not writing forever.

Avon Animal Testing
Avon is known for its leading efforts to eliminate animal testing. On June 2, 1989, Avon became the first major cosmetic company to announce a permanent end to animal testing on all Avon-manufactured products. In place of animal testing, our safety evaluation process utilizes data from in-vitro tests (test tube/cell culture) or clinical tests (on human volunteers), and references existing animal-testing data.

A day in the life of....
Okay I like having a clean cut yard, I don't want it looking like trash. Also, since I took down those fences I needed to run over those spots to even out the yard.
Anyways, I went outside and mowed, edged, and took the leaf (grass) blower to everything. I'm finishing up edging on the side and Spencer comes out and says, "I was going to do that". I laughed, I couldn't help it. Sorry but ummm...if you were going to do it, you should have been out here helping me DO IT, and not play that damn stupid game.
Which in fact, he played that damn f-ing game ALL day! I even went to sleep without him. There's no telling what time he decided to come to bed. Oh, there was one thing he did do. Make pasta. He also wanted to go for a walk at one time and it was like 730-8pm...yes I want to take my 2 year old son walking while it is pitch black outside.
I was watching t.v. at one point and he said he was off, nope...5 minutes later he got back on. Whatever. All I know is that mess he made in the kitchen last night, I'm gonna end up cleaning it.

My Grandfather's Pickles
Now my mom just recently just gave me my grandfather's recipe for making Hot & Dill Pickles. Now that's something I can do. Turn my grandfather's pickles into a profit. Now I'm not talking about going big like the ones you see in the store. I'm talking about Flea Markets, or Farmer's Markets. That's something that's in my area. Plus I want to do something that is going to make me happy. And Avon...not really.
I am going to give Avon a try though. Possibly when I get the pickle making going, I can do Avon part-time. Just for a few extra bucks. But I truthfully think making my grandfather's pickles will be a better, happier, and not time wasting job/hobby.

Another Day Another Drama

So I've done it again. I haven't been on Twitter for for like a year at the least. I got back in it. Not sure why. (Mom, please don't sign up for Twitter, you have to much stuff already) Basically lately I've been just trying to get the word out online that I'm working with Avon. I guess I'm doing okay in the business. Hasn't been a full month yet. So as some businesses go you've got to give them time. Spend money to make money. Well me not so much of the spending part.
OMG! I woke up this morning at 7:20am to the damn doorbell and the dogs barking. Of course that woke up Hayden. But this dude at the door asked if he could take the stuff by the side of the road. Ummmm....DUH! That's why at it's on the side of the road aka CURB! It's like an unwritten rule that once someone doesn't want it anymore and it's too big for the trash they "Curb It". Free to all may want. I just really hope today isn't "Ask Stupid Question Day". I'm sorry but DUMBASS!
Yesterday Spencer got paid and he said we are going to Buffalo Wild Wings. So we got there and by the time we sat down and got our food it was 2HOURS!! And it took 30 freaking minutes for our ticket to get to our table. So much for going grocery shopping. It was soo freaking slow, we only gave our server a dollar. She should have been happy she got that. They supposedly dropped Hayden's food and had to remake it. But we had 3 different people come to our table and tell us a different story on why Hayden's food still wasn't there. Lies! The server said she put Hayden's order in with the appetizer so it would be out faster. NOPE...it was after we got our food. And with the normal food..our fries were cold. And we had to ask multiple times for napkins and refills.
I'm sorry. I'm a server..I mean was a server. I worked in 3 different restaurants. If you can't handle your job ASK FOR HELP! Don't be afraid to ask for help. You get more "respect" from the customers, and your co-workers if you ask for help. And don't take on more that you can handle too. If you have to many tables and you can't do it, your going to struggle and piss off your customers.

It's been a while...
So ya it's been a while since I've been on here. Not much important going on lately. Yesterday I took down the front part of the fence in our yard. I'll be taking down the side pieces either today or later this week. I like being different in the neighborhood but I didn't really like the white fence in our yard. Also needing to take down the other brick column and get a actual mailbox. Like I said not much going on.
