The Hubs and I have this little "game" (for lack of a better word) that we play with each other. It goes a little something like this:
Me: Do you like my dress?
H: Honey, I love you no matter what you look like.
M: So you're saying I look horrible?! (This is said in jest. I'm not really one of those type of women)
H: No, that's not what I said!
M: That's what I heard!
Then we both laugh at how very stuck he is. I've played this game on him since we've been married. Lately the Hubs has gotten good at turning the tables on me. He will trap me and I didn't even see it coming! Then I realize how it feels ;). Then we both laugh at me being stuck. This is reason number 2,948,479,987 that I love him.
Hope you have a great day!

Containers
I have long despised cleaning out the refrigerator. You find things in there you can't remember when you last saw them. And of course they smell..... ummm shall we say lovely?
I have learned a trick that makes this unpleasant task so much nicer. I keep all our old whipped cream tubs and butter tubs etc. I put most left overs and things into these containers. Then when it comes to cleaning out the fridge if the item is questionable I pitch the whole container in the trash and never look back.
I do have regular tupperware or rubber maid or whatever you wanna call them containers. And I do use them. I just thought you all might wanna know about my little trick ;).
Have a great day!

The Mob
This Christmas I was made "an offer I couldn't refuse" (read that last part with the voice of the guy on the Godfather). Not really, but I couldn't help but put that line in this post some where! =).
Actually, I learned that I am part of the Mafia. My family have dubbed ourselves the "Minivan Mafia". My BIL went outside at one point to get something from his van, and when he came back inside he said it looked like the "Minivan Mafia" had attacked my parent's house. After we all had a good laugh over that we adopted the nick name. So be careful and don't mess with anyone in my family, or you might find yourself sleeping with the fishes! (you know the little cracker kind, you can find those on almost any minivan floor, along with various and sundry other things. Trust me that's a true threat! hahaha!)
Now, I feel I'm in the need of some kind of Mafia-ish nick name. You know like Lefty, or Baby Face, or Guido or something. I'll keep you posted if I think of one! =)
Have a great day!

5 Question Friday!
Good morning, Friends! It's Friday again! Yippee!! Don't know exactly what this weekend holds, but we shall see! Alrighty, on with the fun. Once again thanks to Mama M. for letting me link up. Buckle up, because here we gooooo! =)
1. Have you set any goals/resolutions for 2013?
Yep, and you can read all of them here, but the biggest one is to be more hands on with my kids. I only get one shot at raising my kids, and no matter what else I may accomplish in my life, if my kids don't turn out well, then I'm a failure. (This is the way I feel personally, I'm not passing judgement on anyone.)
2. Have you made any travel/vacation plans for 2013?
I Hope to be able to go to Disney in September. We used to go to Disney every year with out fail. It's one of my vices, but when Firecracker turned 3 we just couldn't stomach paying 70.00 for a 3 year old to get into the park. So we didn't go in 2012. Hopefully, we'll be able to go this year... Fingers crossed! Disney is so awesome. I LOVE it.... and I have to get off of this subject now, or I'll never finish the rest of the questions ;).
3. What room is never cleaned in your house?
Never cleaned or never clean? Because I clean all the stinkin' time, but does it stay that way? I'll give you 2 guesses, but I'm thinking you won't need them both. Yeah, so I'm going to go with "never clean" and it's got to be a toss up between the kid's bathroom or the kitchen. I swear to you I clean both of these rooms frequently, but it seems like everytime I leave them and come back little elves (probably named Firecracker and Sweet Pea) come out of the wood work and mess it all up again. Oh well....
4. What food must be in your house at all times?
Some form of chocolate. I hate that I'm so dependent on the stuff, but if there isn't any in the house I feel like a druggie looking for their next fix. I get all wild eyed and start saying things like, "come on, man, I just need a little. Barely a taste and I won't bother you any more".
5. Are you a hugger or more of a hands off person?
Once upon a time I was a hugger. I hugged just about everyone I knew. However, I've become much more withdrawn after having babies. I still hug some people, especially people I've known a long time, but do I pass out hugs as often as I used to? Nope. I'm pretty sure it went down hill when I started going crazy
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Schedule? What Schedule?
These last few weeks have been crazy. We have been playing, shopping, hanging with family and doing all the rest of the stuff that comes along with Christmas. We've had a great time. However, the kid's schedule is all wackadoodle now.
Their schedule used to go something like this: Get up, have breakfast, play, read some books, play, go to the store/ any other necessary errand, lunch, nap. However, the last two weeks the schedule has been something like this: go, go, go, sleep if you must, go some more!
Thankfully, they have been remarkably well behaved for this interruption in their little lives. I'm one blessed Mama! And now that life is going back to normal our schedule has gone back to it's much more mundane and normal way. It's like any other vacation. We've had a great time, but it's nice to get back to normal =).
Happy New Year!

Directions, Who Knew?
The other day I was doing laundry and I actually decided to read the directions on the back of the stain remover. It said not only should you spray it on, you're also supposed to rub it in and wash the clothes in hot water. Silly me! I've always been told that you shouldn't washed stained clothes in hot water, because it'll make the stains set in.
I decided to give the directions a whirl. And guess what? It worked! With 2 kids I go through so much stain remover I should buy stock in the company. For real. And the thing is, Sweet Pea is worse than Firecracker. Anywho, sometimes I have to wash clothes 5 and 6 times to get the stains all the way out. But now, now I'm only washing them like twice! I know this doesn't sound like a huge victory, but I'm conserving water, energy (and moola) by actually reading the directions. Who would've thought? Because saving water and energy basically means I'm saving the world, and that means I'm a freakin' Super Hero!!! Who knew that my super hero power would be reading directions? Well, we learn something new every day =).
Hope you have a great day!

New Year's Resolutions
This is the time of year that everyone determines to do better. People start diets, determine to go to the gym more, promise to be nicer, etc. etc. Well, I have a few resolutions myself.
1. Not get pregnant. I know this sounds silly, but I'm happy with my little family and I'd go clinically insane if I got pregnant again.
2. Be more hands on with my kids. Meaning doing more things with them like art projects and games etc.
3. Read at least 1 parenting book. I LOVE to read, but I despise "self help" books, or instructional books. I'm all about a story line. And books that help you become a better Christian, Parent, Person etc. don't typically have riveting story lines. It takes true discipline for me to read one all the way through.
4. Continue working on my mental health, well, at least the depression part, because the crazy part I've lived with too long to get rid of now ;). I've come a LONG way in 2012. I've battled hard and long, and I believe the worst is behind me. PRAISE GOD! I don't mean that it's all sunshine and roses everyday, but it's not the doom an gloom it was. And it seems it's getting better all the time.
So what are some of your resolutions?
Happy New Year!
