Still Catholic and proud of it. Don't have a lot of rants like my dad, the ignorant redneck. Love being a wife and mother and have known that was my calling since I was 10 yrs old.

i've also noticedhow everyone fawns al over the first lady and the president because of this. So the first lady is supposed to be a role model for behavior and fashion. So what. I don't care what or who she wears. I don't care what she's doing.
Everyone keeps saying how good looking they are, i think because they feel they have to or be called racist. Personal opinion- I don't think either one of them is attractive (keep in mind i'm not attracted to girls, don't take it personally). I've also found the only man i will ever be attracted to for the rest of my life. Unless he dies, I won't even think about another man. All this coverage to say "oh isn't he/she attrative and don't you just want to sleep with them" is reallly getting in the way of fatihful marriages and relationships between, not only men and women, but also in the same sex relationships. Don't hink i haven't known some unfaithful people if same sex relationships.
So in then end, my personal opinion does not make me racist. Just faithful to my husband.
Wonder what anyone has to say about that.
Yes that made me mad.I'm sure it made a lot of people mad. She not only insulted the inteligence of millions, but in implying they don't know their history, basically called them unpatriotic.
Well I hope someone points this out to her. They know exactly what the origal boston tea party was about. Taxes. Also taxation without representation. Now I know that the new protest were over taxes being raised and the group of people protesting were the ones that were paying the higher taxes for all those pet projects in that economy stimulous bill. As well as for the bills being signed behind closed doors.
Notice how nothign else comes into play in that. Nothing. Just taxes and government opperation, like the first tea party.

So on the way home today i saw this bumper sticker that said "don't move firewood, it bugs me". Apparently it's an environmentalisst thing about moving firewood and spreading bugs that will destroy the forest. hmm..
So, the greenies don't want to move fallen trees to use for fuel because they think that the bugs Already Present in the environment will destroy the forest. So now i'm supposed to be afraid of bugs. Well, that's just peachy!
This is the way it is. Bugs live on the woods. Moving the fallen tree next to the standing one to use for firewood is not going to destroy the forest. If new bugs move to somewhere it's probably because they migrated there naturally or they came here in an imported product. Kind of like moths getting into a store on dogfood bags.
So lets just say that bugs are not all bad. Creepy yes(spiders guh!) but not bad. The only one that I can even think of that is bad is the ladybug look alike that got imported to kill another bug and is taking over where it should not.

I was going to review a book called A Woman's Worth by Marianne Williams. I'm sorry to say it won't make it as I cannot bring myself to finish the book. I made as far as about half the first chapter and was too mad to finish it. So, in light of the fact that i fell the need to review what i did read, here a statment and then the review of the preface and part of the first chapter.
What the hell is going on here! And where did this woman get her info about "the hell and bak club"(as she would put it.)
This review is my own personal opinion. I do NOT apologize if it offends anyone, as I am entitled to have my own opinion. :
A woman's Worth: Marianne Williams 1993
Preface review:
"For us, for women who have been to hell and back?"
Firstly, I don't think the women who made this statement really understand what this fraize means. The author claims that knowing what it means make it a membership badge for the club, a badge of honor so to speak. I don't think she full understands what it means. My best friend really has been to "hell and back" She knows what it means. Some of what I have been through myself makes me a nominee, not a member. I have not truly been through hell. Just glimpsed it in the distance waiting for the right catalyst.
Miss(or Ms. or Mrs.) Williams listed abortion as one of the things that makes you a member of this club. From a personal stand point, that is NOT CORRECT. Abortion is the murder of the child you are to be protecting. An infant separate from your body that has a visibly heartbeat at 3 months. That from the minute you start seeing an obstetrition they can monitor for health. It has it's own arms, legs fingers toes, organs, brain and body funtions. It is not part of your body. The reason we reproduce by incubation for 9 months is because it is the safest place for the baby. Abortion is the murder of a helpless human being. IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU A MEMBER OF THE CLUB.
As for the rest of the book:
I could not make it more than half through the first chapter because it became clear that the sum up from the inside cover makes the book mascarade as a christian book, but in truth I don't think the woman believes in God at all. The book also seems to be makeing women fell better about liking sex so much they can have it with men who aren't thier husbands.(yes i know i had sex with the my husband before we were married i'll clarify). It seems to make married women fell better about that. Unfortunately for the unmarried girls our culture has taught them that virginity is something that does not need to be charished.
That is af far as I got. I am not going to finish the book. I do not apologize for offending anyone. My personal views are mine and you are entitled to have yours. I only hope that any who read this post understand that my views cannot be changed, but that i will not forcfe them on you either. I would like to hear your views and I hope you are not overly vexed by mine.

I am so happy to be a woman. I have been so fed up with the way some people in my household don't help keep house. So, instead of staying annoyed and fighting with them over it- I"M TAKEING OVER. The only places I haven't taken over, is the bathroom(it's still someone elses chore), and the upstairs(I just can't leave the kids alone long enough to deal with it).
Grinnin' bouncers b-day party is this saturday, and to make sure that the house is presentable, i've taken over the cleaning. What they don't know is..it's not just for the week. I am so keeping this up. I'm already getting a routine for getting it done. And I like haveing a clean kitchen floor, and the carpet vacuumed, and things dusted and windows washed and the grease off the things over the stove.
I really like doing laundry (I think clean laundry smells good). I like being able to see out my windows without a film on it. And i really got a kick out of being able to tell people to take thier shoes off if they were going to track things onto my clean floors.
I know a lot of women are going to think that i'm some poor, misquided, brainwashed thing. Well, I love breaking this to you, I LIKE DOING ALL THIS STUFF! IT keeps me from being a couch potato. I get to go up and down stairs, which really keeps my butt and legs in shape. An the girls get a good example set about not just laying around and letting the trash build up on itself and the clutter block things from view or fall off of things.
so i'm going to say this loud and proud:
I LOVE BEING THE TRADITIONAL HOMEMAKER. i LIKE CLEANING AND COOKING.
And for all those young girls younger than me being told to get things a certain way. Men like food, LEARN TO COOK. men don't like girls who don't take care of themselves, KEEP YOUR HOME CLOTHES AND YOURSELF CLEAN. And , lastly for my mom and all those other moms who worry about the kids- Just carry a tide pen for those little stains when out and about, have a good stain lifter for the clothes and put them in the nice stuff anyway.
Since i'mm doing all this old school woman stuff, I feel better about myself, my home and i worry less about all the other things out there that give other people migraines.
Feel free to comment. I'd love to hear them.

Well, my dad told me today that all the "trendy" people who write for the internet are shortening valetines day to V-day. I have one observation to make about that.
The only people who make up languages to sound cool are kids. It only really works for kids. some of the slang i heard in high school that was made up to sound cool, sounded absurd to me. It just seemed like abbreviating something or makeing up words that were shorter or run together just made a person sound lazy and stupid. I didn't even understand half the words some people used because i didn't bother using them.
It's true that there are many laguages in our country, and different ethnicities will have different slang words in there culture., But we shouldn't lose what is left of our base language (which is acuired standard english) to being trendy or cool, or lazy. It is a part of our culture in the united states that needs to be kept and not lost to fahionistas, trend setters or anyone else.

well, when you start you are sore for a week. litterally. then its all good. but you have to keep making it harder. that's the tough part. but its worth it. i can almost get into my jeans from high school. when the weather warms up walking ought to take off the last bit so i can. they are important because they are the only jeans i have that aren't stretch. yes i looked for new ones, but nearly all of them have spandex in them now. i wouldn't mind feeling good about getting into a pair of "skinny jeans" either. I have nice legs, i could pull them off.
for those people who want motivation to exercise. here is what motivates me:
- Clothes i have that i know is realistic to get back into( my high school jeans were my healthy weight level for height and bone stucture
- When it's nap time i'm bored anyway
- yoga around kids is intersting and possibly harmful to your health nap time is important.
- i can fing quick workouts that work and don't take more than 30 minutes
- the mcdonalds work outs are what i started with and i noticed the difference after that first week of soreness, if you know someone who has them borrow like crazy, or do them together
I do mean it about the yoga. SD almost pushed me into the christmas tree. And not olnly did the excercises work, i was able to buy a size 8 pair of jeans instead of 11. But i still need to work to get into the high school jeans. I havent lost weight yet, just toned up. But the toning up means that i can now lay down to fasten those jeans instead of being nowhere close to getting into them.
Next step after walking is eating better. And i have a love of junk food. Willpower is escential to getting into shape. Keep in mind height and bone structure are key to the right weight you should be. If it helps, i have a small bone sctructure and am aroun 5'6" and the healthy weight is 125-135lbs for that one. That's why getting into the jeans and having a flat tummy (or close to) are my goals for it. realistic and not scary skinny. Guys like boobs, not ribs. I repeat:
GUYS LIKE BOOBS-NOT RIBS
The only ribs men like come from pigs and cows and are sreved with bbq sauce. Keep that in mind.
Well, it has been a while. merry christmas, happy new year, happy honukuh(hope i spelled that right J).
The little ones are growing like weeds. Grinnin' Bouncer is starting to talk a lot. She took the phone from mee a couple weeks ago at visiting and jabberred at her father, also throwing in "no mine" when i tried to take it back. He thought it was hilarious. He doesn/t understand why shes was always so much better behaved for him than for me. I don't think he'll ever fully understand. She also has all her teeth save the very back molars.
The super drooler is getting her teeth in right along. She still drools a lot. tantrums are bad from her, and my sister still thinks it's odd that she still won't eat or sleep here like she does at home. at least she doesn't bite like the other one does. I hope she bites her back soon, that's how it stopped last time.
The two little ones are so cool! It sounded like GB said "i'm mad" after she bit SD. I also told SD no on something last wed and she started crying and something that sound like "katy said no. i'm sad" I'm hearing actual stuff from them. They aren't even 2 yet and they are almost doing full sentences. GB even says "from poppo' , or mommo or dan. She actually sayd it. She is doing alphabet flash cards and can say R, Q, W, B, F, S, A(of course), H, X, T (she recognizes this one). I mean they are just so cool! I know i'm going to wish at some point that they would just stop talking. Like I do with the uber kid(she's not a toddler anymore), i'm not happy about that, but she constantly talks about nothing, or characters from movies or just jabbers incesently like the other two do. Jabbering is cute, when they're little but at her age it's anoying, especially since she can talk. BUt i've worked out an incentive for her. She talks through all her movies, so i told her when she can be quiet for a whole movie i'll take her to the theater again. She's only been once. "ratatouille", she loved it. next time i hope the seat doens't try and swallow her.
The two little ones are so close to potty training i can wave at it in the distance, and it might just wave back. They say "go potty" and they try to puul thier clothes off. things just get cooler and cooler. And The UK can now play UNO. She loves it. She even remembers the rules. We quiz her on numbers while we play. and it helps her with some colors. Maybe I shoul bet another deck and finish the colors off. Hey that's not a bad idea.
