Another Year, Another Princess

Happy Halloween everybody!!! Here is the Princess dressed as Princess Jasmine. I figured she will be probably be a Disney Princess tell she is 10?? Oh well at least the Mini-Princess has some kick ass costumes when she is older :) Hope you guys all have a great Halloween!! Remember to save all Snickers and Peanut M&M's for me :)

Oh and yes this is Julia's signature pose

Can't Wait Till She is 13...

Do you think that we should stop watching "America's Next Top Model" together??





Yes I know- what is she going to be like when she is a teenager??

A Little Bit Better

Ok so yesterday was good, today got even better. I have this small, tiny, little, itty-bitty, obsession with Justin Timberlake. If you have not heard him and I are secret lovers. Goes back to my boy band days when I waited 3 hours on the phone to get Summer and I Backstreet Boy tickets. Anyway, he is coming to San Diego and I didn't think I was going to get tickets and guess what- I did! No trouble at all either. So on January 8, 2007, I, the husband I am dragging, and 20,000 14 year old girls will be rocking out to Justin. Too bad I might need binoculars to see him :)

Mrs.Shitty McShitterson

That should be my name lately. My attitude sucks, my head hurts, my ass and arms hurt from the gym, my one kid (guess which one? Here is a hint- she is 4) is driving me crazy, my husband bugs, my best friend waits to call me back six hours later after I leave a message crying on the phone (you know who you are), and my toe nail almost broke all the way off yesterday. I guess this could all be PMS since I am on my period. I don't know- I just have had it!

Ok sorry had to vent- thanks for listening :)

-Amanda

FYI

After 4 shots of sake, don't let your friends and husband talk you into eating eel by saying it tastes like chicken. I don't know what kind of chicken they have been eating lately, but if it is salty, mushy, and fishy then it is true that eel tastes like chicken :)

-Amanda

Typical

Of course her first word would be "da da" Here is to Mommy always getting the shaft :)

Bringing Sexy Back

My recent shoe fetish splurge. I think the Hubby almost fainted when I tried them on. How about that for sexy- meow :)
I did however counteract the sexiness with these mom shoes. They are so comfortable-like wearing slippers. Not so sexy, but had to be sensible too :)

7 Months

The Mini Princess it is 7 months already!! Time files :) Well she crawls, sits, pulls herself up, wants to eat everything she can get her hands on, and talks to her little hands and toys. I am so in love!! Here are some pictures. Hope everyone had a great weekend :)

-Amanda

The Results

So yesterday was horrible! They has to stick 116 needles in Julia's small little back all filled with something that she could be allergic to. It was pure torture- I cried right along with her (well she screamed, I cried) It was amazing to see what people can be allergic too- everything from geese to vanilla. Well it turns out she is allergic to most pollens, trees, mold, and the best horses, dogs, cows, cockroaches, and green peppers. Good thing we don't live on a farm. The solution the doctor suggested- 4 years of 5 rounds of shots 2 times a week. Make sense?? 208 shots a year for 4 years. Um...yeah you can kiss my ass on that. I would do it if lets say she can't breathe, but she just gets her normal sickness during those times and it goes away. She will be on Claritin for the rest of her childhood I am sure, but that to me is better than shots for 4 years. I just could never do that to my girl. So anyway, that is how it went yesterday. We did take her to Target and purchased her whatever Polly Pocket she wanted (I hate those toys)

I hope everyone has a good day!

The Test

Today Julia has the test that I have been dreading since they told me she needed it- The allergy scratch test. This where they are going to scratch several places on her back and put what they might suspect she is allergic to in those scratches. What ever she has a reaction to is what she is allergic to. Sounds like fun huh?? I recruited Jon to come with me because I am sure as hell not doing this by myself. Also my grandma is watching the baby so we can focus on Julia. So that is what I get to do today. Cocktails are in my future :) And I will bet you $50 that she is allergic to cats and then that I means I have to find a home for the one we have. Yeah for me!!

-Amanda

Pick Up Time

Anyone willing to come pick my children up? I can have them ready in 30 minutes. They come with clothes and toys. I will even throw in last weeks "People" and "Us Magazine" Anyone??

-Amanda

Question? I Might Get Slammed for this One

Okay- my 19 year old neighbor is pregnant. I am not one to judge, but this is a total case of "I told you so." So anyway, I was invited to her baby shower next weekend. Jon and I will be out of town so I can not attend. When Samantha was born someone gave me a bath seat. We already had one so I never took it out of the box and used it. Would it be so bad to re-gift that?? I checked her registries and she does not have one on there. I also have some really cute Carter sleepers with tags still on them that I thought I could wrap up too. Am I being totally bad? I mean besides you guys, no one will ever know. Will I my karma come back to haunt me?? Help!!!

-Amanda

PS As I am writing this, Samantha is pulling herself up on my chair. At almost 7 months pulling herself up! I am so screwed even if me re-gifting presents doesn't get me first :)

Finally

I am so excited that "Lost" is on tonight- they better not disappoint :) What TV shows are you or were you excited about watching this season??

-Amanda

Grandmas Rock!

My Mother and my Grandmother are on their way as we speak to come a babysit my two wonderful children so that my husband and I can have a night away. I get to get dressed up, have a steak dinner, go to a concert, and have hotel sex! When I asked my Mom if she could babysit, she didn't even hesitate and said "I would love too." Too me that deserves the manicure and pedicure I am taking her to today! I would eat worms if necessary to have a night away with the hubby :) I love you Mom!

The Bad Mommy Files

This is not a joke. My daughter and I had a rough morning. The result was she got sent to her room. When she came out she had a piece of paper with her and told me that she wrote me a letter. Now I thought "How cute is that. She wants to apologize in a letter." Well that was not the kind of letter she composed. She read me her little scribbled letter and told me that tomorrow morning she was moving out because she didn't want to go to her room anymore. Now I wanted to laugh, but she was serious. Anybody have room for a 4 year old with tons of attitude??

-Amanda

Biggie Smalls

Jon has come up with a nickname for the Mini Princess- Biggie Smalls. That is because she had her six month check up yesterday and she weighs 17 lbs. 13 oz., which by the way is in the 95th percentile for weight. I don't think Julia weighed 17 lbs. until she was like 10 months old. It also took Julia 2 years to gain 5 lbs and at 4 she is only 35 lbs. Samantha weighs half as much as her 4 year old sister! She is also 26 inches long which is all in the 95th percentile for height. The doctor even said to me "Wow are you sure she is only 6 months old. She looks like she is 9 months old." Well you know what- I love those cubby little legs. I guess that just means I am doing a good job? :)

-Amanda

Question?

Is it bad that I locked myself in our master bathroom with my US Magazine, turned on the fan, and sat and read it for 20 minutes? And the best part is when I came out no one seemed to notice. Have I finally gotten away with something??


-Amanda

Holy Crap

I stepped on the scale this morning. Now would I want to ruin my day with that? No clue, but anyway I have lost 6 lbs. already- Holy Crap! Man drinking TONS of water and actually going to the gym must be working. Just makes me want to lose 6 more! I just miss my friend chocolate a whole bunch :(

-Amanda
