The birdbath and the ranting of me!


OK! So fair warning.. If you dont want to read about me going on a rant or see bad words you should probably exit out of this blog now! :) Because WTH is that huge yard ornament doing in my neighbors yard??!!! OMG, my blood is boiling.. I hate having neighbors.. at least in a neighborhood that their are no laws to live by.. And those laws should be this, mow your lawn regularly, fix broken windows/shutters and DO NOT put huge concrete birdbaths in your front yard!! Good thing I'm moving to the country!!! Aww, I can just see it now, no neighbors on either side of me, Glorious!! I just wish it was yesterday that I was moving there.. Because these common sense house laws are something my neighbors clearly know nothing about! Because instead of using their money for landscaping, fixing their broken front window or buying a weed wacker they decided to put their money to better use and buy a BIRDBATH! Good call guys!! It looks beautiful right there in your front jungle that is 5 feet from my manicured lawn... Really, its amazing! Amazingly gross!!! Ah! What is wrong with people?? And while they are admiring their latest yard decor their dog comes and takes a huge dump in the middle of my front yard! For a second I thought I was being tested and filmed on one of those shows.. but no such luck.. It was all reality! Great!!.. I love birdbaths and crap!!... these are the people mind you that started a fight with me because I asked them to stop parking in front of MY mailbox long enough for the mail man to deliver my mail.. Hmmm. that was a fun day... Those are real gen-u-ine people right there :).... anyway.. as you can tell I cant wait to enjoy the birdbath everyday as I load my kids in the car or the mosquito's that the standing gross water will attract........... Ok.. Now let me apologize for all that maddness... I really needed to vent and I'm sure some of you will find this very amusing... And I dont mean to offend those of my friends that have birdbaths in your yard.. Im sure its very tasteful ;).... Good Talk!! :) until the next explosion!! ~luv's

Terrible Two's and My Missy PooPoo's

Helloooo! So I haven't blogged in awhile and you know you've greatly missed me ;)... Ahh where to begin.. These last few months have been rather challenging... Piper is now 8 months and is crawling all over the place and on the verge of walking. Which makes me happy! I feel like her and Brody can play better together now... Piper has however followed in her brothers footsteps and has developed bad allergies, ear infections and is possibly, like him, needing tubes in her ears.. But on a good note I think I finally got her acid reflux under control! :).. Despite all the issues, I adore her! There have been some trying times however... For me, I thought being a second time mom would be easier.. hmmm NOT!! She has been a whole new ballgame.. And that can be frustrating.. Feeling like you dont know what your doing and not understanding why things are the way they are.. If I had a dollar for every time I asked God for more patience and understanding, well you know, I'd be rich! I'm not rich but I have learned that many things are out of my control.. Which is hard for me being the control freak that I am.. Patience is coming to me, slowly but surely... all my craziness melts away when I see Piper and Brody playing together... Awww... It is the sweetest most precious thing to watch.. She smiles a smile like no other at him and he says "I lub you sissy" in this angelic voice... It makes everything worth while... Brody will be 3 in July.. and he is all crazy boy 3!! He is in his testing phase.. Like where I tell him no and he looks me straight in my face and does it anyway.. Ya, good stuff!! GRRRR.. Just take a deep breath and woooo saaaaa.... but its hard not to laugh sometimes ;).. which makes the no part even harder.. even though he is nutso, he still makes me laugh.. The stuff this kid says is hilarious!! i seriously dont know where he comes up with some of it.. the other day he asked me "are you my conscience?" lol... he got it from Nemo but it was still funny to hear him say it with this questionable look on his face... he's a funny lil fella! Anyone attempting potty training? Wowzers!! Brody is not interested!! I'll say "did you poop?" and he'll say "nooo" as he walks by leaving a stinky trail... awesome Brody! And then he will come pull the back of my pants out and say " did u poop?" So as of now that's all he's learning from this experience :) But im not stressing it.. He'll go when he's ready.. I dont wanna force him.. he will grow up in his own time.. anyways thats about all for right now! This blog wasnt too exciting but its my life right now... Thanks for reading!  XOXO
