One of my favorite muthas!

So I have never met Rocky but I have stalked read her blog for almost 2 years now. She has never ceased to amaze me. She has an incredible blog which you can check out here. She has been volunteering for Global Volunteer Network for a couple years now and has traveled to Kenya and Africa. She is a mom of 6, which 2 of them are adopted from Guatemala. She has been an inspiration to others and I can't stop gushing about how great she is! I hope everyone checks her blog out and sends her lots of love!

Also, Underwear for Africa is one of the programs that Rocky has created and has been a really big hit! Check it out here

ugh. husbands.

My husband...Lord I love him...thought that it was in his best interest to buy a model car and paints. I am cursing him under my breath while smiling saying "honey, when will you have time to do this project?" He insists that he will get it done in due time while I'm betting how long it will actually take in my head.

So we get home and soldier boy decides that after the kids were in bed he was going to open this bad boy. I look in the box and say "um. I hope that you are going to be putting this away when the kids are up"

He does. Thank God.

Here opens the paint and they are in little bottles. I am not going to freak out. Soldier boy decides that he is going to leave the paints in this lazy susan carousel on the kitchen counter. Next day we get up and get breakfast going. I'm in the process of starting up my computer for the day when I hear "clink clink clink".

Oh. Dear. God. what is that and what has little man gotten into now? Him and his sister proceed to clink the bottles of paint together because somehow he managed to get the bottles from the counter. I am like, "Ok, they are just clinking them, no big deal". I continue to start the day and it gets quiet.

Real quiet. I see little man run into the living room. What the heck did this boy do now? He is covered in paint, princess is covered in paint. The love seat and carpet now have a beautiful shade of red and blue. Momma is not happy. I start screaming. I try and figure out how to take out this mess. I want to call up soldier boy and yell and scream but I blame myself for not taking them and putting them away in the first place. I call him up anyway.

Me: Hey babe, you know those paints you got for the um car you bought?
Him: silence.
You are going to tell me its all over the place right?
Me: Technically its not "all over" the place but some of it is all over the carpet, I'm mad at myself for not putting it away.
Him: Well, its my fault for putting it on the counter
*gasp*
I'm in shock y'all

He continues to tell me he has to go but he'll deal with it when he comes home from work.

The steam cleaner managed to make it look like this:

Seriously, why do I even bother?















If anyone knows of a great paint remover please help a momma out!

Damn you netflix!

I really do love you but I HATE your 500 limit queue. (Thanks NGIP for reminding me of that!) I did, however, go through it...for the 10th time...deleting my drunk picking greatest hits! (So what, I had to have the B Rated gore films where the half naked girl gets chopped up by a sexless psycho murder, whats so wrong with that?)

Friends tell me that only I could know that there is an actual limit of movies you can put on your queue.

I tell them "Screw you too! Thats why I kick your ass at Scene it!"

Now that you had the pleasure of reading my latest vent, go comment on my giveaway...maybe one day I will give away a free month of Netflix and see if you can get up to my 500 limit queue!

Will it get him to actually go potty?

I got this boy sized urinal to try and get Braden to go potty. This boy is hardheaded and refuses to go pee on his potty chair or the seat that I put on the regular toilet. I found it from another blog who had a contest for it but since I didn't win it I had to buy it myself....dummy me I forgot to use the code for free shipping and if anyone has bought anything to get shipped to Alaska...well lets just say I paid an arm and a leg too darn much!

Here it is!

Crista, come out here!

Me: What do you want? (I hate being interrupted)

Hubby: Come and take pictures of me shoveling snow in shorts and a t-shirt!

Me: NO, that is dumb!

Hubby: No, its funny!

By this time I am ignoring him while he's still insisting that I do this. Keep in mind he has Jim Beam in him...not sure how much but at this point he is being annoying.

Me: Do I REALLY have to do this?

Hubby: Yes, its great!

Me: *sigh* Fine.

So here are the damn pictures I just HAD to take.
