A Rotten Apple

I debated whether or not to write this post, but decided to go ahead.  I was reminded a few weeks ago that there are "bad apples" in this world.  Bad apples can ruin a whole pie, ya know.  Due to the "bad apple" that left this comment "What the fuck is that to brag about? And why do you put up pics of her naked here? She is not a baby anymore so maybe you should teach her some manners or maybe you should keep that private? " anonymous people can no longer leave comments on my blog.  I'm sorry to those NICE anonymous commenter's, but you can thank the TURD that left the ugly comment!

And to Mr./Ms. Anonymous:  Last time I checked this was MY blog, and you are not being forced to read it.  Feel free to not read it ever again.  I'm pretty sure I don't need people like you in my life anyway.  I also love that you question my daughter's manners simply by looking at a picture.  Quite the little "judger" aren't you :)  My daughter has great manners, for the most part, just like any 3 year old.  Here's an idea for you, how about you raise your kids the way YOU want, and I will raise mine the way I want.  Sounds fair enough to me.  I would love for you to come forward, perhaps not be a coward and hide behind the "anonymous" button.  I suspect I won't hear from you though.  That's how bad apples are, they hide when being confronted.  Anyway, I wish you the best Anonymous, and I'm sorry I wasted post space on your ugly comment.

This is the post were the comment was left, if you're curious :)  And yes I left the ugly comment, just as a reminder to myself that there will always be BAD APPLES in the world, we just have to learn to block them :) 

I'm All Grown Up

Last night we had a "girl's night out"!  It was tons of fun.  It's so nice to go out, catch up, trash talk the husbands,  and just have an all around good time.

We started out at a winery.  I've never been a wine drinker.  I've tried different kinds here and there, but they always taste horrible to me.  I'm a beer girl, plain and trashy. ha!  Kelly has told me that there is a wine out there for me I just have to find it.  Well she was right! After tasting several last night I picked my poison....

French Lick Red.  I swear they just bottled up Concord Grape Juice!  Maybe that's why I like it so well.  I felt so grown up purchasing a bottle of wine.  It was like I've evolved to this mature woman!  Of course then we left there, hit up a bar, and guess what I got BEER!  haha  Even after all that I went back to my tried and true friend!

Here's a little snap shot of what it's like for me when I'm trying to take pictures of something other than my kids...

They can't stand it!!  If I take 10 pictures the heathens are usually in at least 8 of them!  I usually end up having to go lock myself in a room to get them out of the picture...sad I know! 

Also, I'm working on my picture taking skills.  I have a nice camera, but I want to upgrade to a fancy schmancy one (Canon Rebel please!).  My friend, and AWESOME photographer, Erica is giving me pointers on the manual settings and such, but I'm asking for any other advice you guys might have.  Please remember though I'm no where near a pro (hence the practice!), so please "dumb it down" for me.  Any advice, or websites would be greatly appreciated!  The camera I have now is a Canon Power Shot S2 1S (if that's something you need to know).

And one more thing, click the follow button!  I know you're out there reading, so don't be shy.  I would love to find other blogs, and this is a easy way for me to do it!

The Day in the Life of Me

My days are usually pretty routine with a little comedy along the way. Here is how my day went today....

Wake up at 6:30 because that's when my "loaner kids" get here, Titan and Liddy. Titan passed out on the couch...cartoons do wonders...Liddy took her morning bottle. Then she puked about 2oz up on my shoulder. Great start:) After we all get up and get going, because we go back to sleep after that bottle, the boys got dressed for preschool. It was wear red day for Dr. Seuss' birthday..they looked cute!

After they were off to school us girls come home for naps. Laney always wants to stay awake. She says she's not tired, but then almost falls asleep on the way home. I took this picture today before she layed down...she's a cheeser:)

Then this is when my day got entertaining...well at least it will be for you guys! Liddy was taking a bottle and began to poop (yes I'm already discussing poop). Well she isn't a conservative pooper so to speak. Lets just say I get REALLY nervous every time she starts grunting! Here's why.....

Seriously, how can one little girl poop that much!!!! I can't ever stay mad at her for long because she's so cute!So once she was cleaned up are day returned to boring and monotonous. I'm sure tomorrow will be an adventure too. The next day is always better than the last, right?

On another note (I told you I wonder) Liddy had the cutest shoes today....I wonder if they make them in my size?
