Frumpy MomMom

I used to say to Aj, why does she let herself outta the house like that?
We'd be out to dinner and I'd see a family of say 4, mom/dad/toddler and baby, Dad looked great, kids put together, mom without makeup and her hair all in a desheveled heap...
Now I get it.

Making Memories

Christmas always makes me kinda sad...not sad...melancholy...I think alot...

Maybe now that Maggie will be all about Christmas, it'll be more fun...
I can't wait to see her ripping into her presents...
We are making memories and our 'own' traditions...I've stole some from my childhood of course, cuz that's what I remember but it'll be fun to make our own...I want memories and traditions Maggie will remember when she is 32 years old like I am now...I want her to see pictures of herself opening her presents on Christmas morning all sleepy eyed and excited...I want her to put up her tree later on and think about MomMom and Dadda when she is going through her ornaments from the past 30 some years...I hope she laughs and cries(just a little)...I hope she rolls her eyes and laughs when she thinks of some dumb doily sweatshirt she got when she was 10 from her Grandparents...
I still remember, for real, seeing Santa too...there was a light up santa in his sleigh on the way to xmas eve at my grandpa's house in someone's front yard and when we left later that night, he was gone...for years, i knew i'd seen santa...i still wonder, even if it's corny, why would it have been gone? why would the people move it? basically, it HAD to have been Santa because no other explanation makes any sense, right?!:)Jenna and I had a very good Santa, we had no reason to not believe!!! My 4th grade teacher actually ruined it for me...he told us that there was no Santa...I was in shock...I guess my friends already knew there wasn't a Santa...I felt dumb for being so old and not knowing...part of me still believes in the idea of Santa, so there Mr. Peterich, you didn't ruin my WHOLE life, buttface! :)

I had a million dollars...

I'd be rich.

oh, my point was not just to plug a Bare Naked Ladies song but to say
seriously if I had a million dollars, Maggie would be getting alot of stuff for Christmas...hmmm
What would I do with that much money?
1.I would buy a new house, not a huge house, but a nice 4 bedroom 2 bathroom ranch with about 2 acres of land(enough room for hubby to have his pole barn).
2.I would buy Aj a Harley.
3.I would give money to my sister.I assume she'd buy a house too probably.
4.I would give money to my mom.
5.I would buy my seester a new car, the older Honda style she likes so much.
6.I would get lasic eye surgery for sure, no more contacts!
7.I would buy home gym equipment.
8.Aj would give money to his mom I'm sure...
9.I'd not give my dad money, I'd see what he needed and pay for it myself because he'd go blow it on stupid shit:) Hey, it's the truth.
10. INVEST
11. Put lots of money away for Maggie(cars, needs, College...)

Would 1 million even be enough to do all that? I don't even know what 1 million is. The biggest check I ever had was $14,000 and I thought that was a butt load...hmmmm
anywho, it'll never happen. Back to life, back to reality...(another song plug by I don't know who from like the 80's or 90's)

Maggie likes to perform

Today, I woke up BEFORE Maggie, which was a nice change. I got to sit and watch the news for a little bit before she woke up. She woke up saying HI HI HI HI.
She is saying so much: Hi,On,Ellen(EhNin)Shoe,Happy,Hat,Abby,Why...WHY is her new favorite. I don't think she knows what it means yet, thank goodness. MomMom is also alot more now. She'll even grab my sweatshirt off the back of the chair (coat rack) and says MomMom, like she is really helping me know that it's mine, it's too cute.
Her new favorite room to play in is her own, but she wants Aj or I in there with her. She puts on some of her sun hats and 'sings', but the door must be closed to do so because then she can stand in between her closet door and her door, which makes sort of an echo sound, but it is also a nice little area for a 'stage'! She even claps when she is done 'singing'. She really likes to 'sing' to the Princesses on her bag that is hanging on her closet door too. SHE KILLS ME. I would rather gnaw my limbs off than sing on a stage! :)
She is also all about dancing, to every beat imaginable. She loves All the Single Ladies by Beyonce' alot! I can just start to sing it to her and she puts her hands up and starts rockin' out. Thank God Maggie doesn't know yet that MomMom cannot sing, it would ruin our moments.
So my little performing Midgit Princess is all about it and today at Target, I spied a pink and purple MICROPHONE! I'm the best MomMom ever, that's what Maggie said to me with her eyes and her very enthusiastic smile! Now she can 'sing' LOUDER! woot woot

ChrisTIMas!

I've had a HORRIBLE few days...Maggie's been sick, I've been sick, Aj's been sick, the devil reared it's ugly head and is messing with my sanity...

long story short...
Aj, bless his little heart, gave me my christmas present early(well xmas present and anniversary present, our 3 yr anniversary is in January)
Two tickets to see Tim McGraw at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids MI in February!!Bonus is Lady Antebellum is opening for him too and I like them alot...Hopefully spend the night up there somewhere too the night of the concert:)
Woot Woot.He knows the way to my heart...just mix it up with a little Tim baby!

BUT this could also be the end of our marriage...hmmm...can he handle seeing me seeing Tim?
I get 'a little' excited...it was nice being married for 3 years:) ha ha ha

All I want is....

If I had like $500 right now, I'd be all about Christmas shopping.
There are so many cool things I can't afford to buy people. I'd buy for pretty much everyone if I could too. Just buy it cuz I can and it's perfect for someone.
BUT
Since I ain't got no monies, I'll do another load of laundry, watch the Bears football game, blog while Maggie is sleeping, eat a home made tuna melt with lots of relish and dill and a little paprika, blow my nose alot on my Puffs Plus, use my sinuCleanse to get the goo out the nose, shower and then get back into some jammies...you heard me, get back into jammies for 3rd day in a row...stupid head sickies, go away!

Shrek helps the Sickies

We're all sick.
Snot.
Cough.
Sore Throat.
UGH.
Maggie's is the worst because I can't 'do' anything for her. She is taking her medicine, which is good, but I want to take her sickies away. Poor thing is miserable. Sleeping and snuggling alot, not that I'm complaining. Snuggly Maggie is nice, but after a week, I could go to the bathroom without her crying cuz I'm not holding her :(
and
Thank Heavens for Shrek, Shrek 2 and Shrek 3(which she picks out and says BeeBee (baby)cuz Shrek Baby is on the front cover)! She is liking Shrek even more than Elmo at the moment, I could get used to this, that is for sure. Elmo is sitting on my last nerve. The Shrek movies are funny and I can watch too. She obviously is cool watching longer movies too, cuz she is glued to the tv when Shrek is on, so no ADD yet:)

Maggie is sick

sick with a little tiny low grade fever...
I'm nutty worried...
I over react...
so glad God knows what i can handle...
anywho...
i worry
