IN my early mid life beautifying routine, I decided to do something that I have never done before and always associated it with hoochy mama (little ok, too much na). This is fake nails. I have had a few friends in my life as of late, mention how my short, somewhat dirty nails don’t look so good. Athletic nails ok but not with paint etc in them. I have a hard time sitting at the nail place that long, unless they do it at the same time. Well a teacher at school showed me her PRess on Nails. She raved about them. I bought them, and raved about them to everyone I saw and know, encouraging them to go out and buy them. Atleast for the first few days. THen they kept on falling off and falling off, infact everyone of my friends said that they found my nail somewhere in their car of house. Ha ha. So I just gave up and went and got a french manicure on my real but minuscule nails. I love it but I was upset the lady clipped my nails (the two I had) down to the other ones. Maybe they will grow now
My neighbor Maica is a life savor. Seriously God sent her to me. We get closer all of the time. She always helps me out. Infact I am using her car today. Last night I sent her home with a nice dinner for she and her husband, it is the least I can do..
I feel much more rested today and I was looking back at past blogs. It seems I have repeated myself many times about things I want to change and have not. I have stopped going out as much and frankly only want to do it for special parties and occasions but I have gotten in to socializing at home and having a glass or two of wine. I need to break this habit. LAst night I had nothing and felt nice. I also did not have anyone over and the kids and I had a nice dinner, talked, studied an watched a movie in my bed. Ofcourse I fell asleep cuz after nine I turn in to a pumpkin. I went to sleep feeling so happy and full of love but guilt for the times I have been lacking.
Had two order two new keys because I lost them again. So far this year is a worlds record for me two license, two wallets, ten atm cards, and my keys three times or more. Do they have a memory pill for that? It has been tough but sort of an adventure and I have enjoyed being stranded at my home more and drinking coffee, watching the VIew, cleaning the house and just being mellow. Kaylee asked me last night if I was going to stop working so much now. I said, I hope so, I just hope I can afford to.

I am just saying that because when I put dog for sale, I had several inquiries about how I could do that. I was completely joking. I can’t sell or give anything I love, especially alive. Anyways he is still being a bit of a terror. He ripped part of my carpet up, has eaten half of my plants.
So recap, I am exhausted again. I had a busy week with entertaining and work, and then had another dinner party the night before we had to go to show which was growing rapidly as I had more vino. I kept inviting everyone I spoke to that night. It was great fun and very nice to see some friend’s I had lost touch with. Then I went to the Oscar gifting suite giveaway which is always fun and exciting but tiring as well. We returned that night late and then the next day I had errands to run, things to do and a Oscar party to attend. I hit my max. I went to bed at nine before the Oscar’s even ended and then today have mommy mush brain and turtle memory or no memory. I can really feel it. So this week, staying in and also not entertaining or drinking every night. I need to cleanse my body and get my mind completely healthy. I have a lot on my mind and on my plate and the responsibilities I have are being effected.
Yesterday michelle and I went to see the movie “the LAst Station.” My mother recommended it. I now know why. It was a touching love story about the author who wrote Anna Karina. I had a lump in my throat the entire movie and was crying so hard that I was hiccuping. It was very touching but made me think a lot and fear some things that are inevitable.
When I am not as tired I will try and recap some of the funny things that happened during the show and or interesting stories that happened, or stars we met but that will have to follow after my promised Hannah montana story. For example when I went up to Chloris leachman and told her I loved her famous line about happy hour somewhere in the world, in Spanglish and she yelled at me saying that was not accurate. Then I found out she is going a bit senile. I think I am getting thicker skin cuz my feelings were not hurt one time yesterday and such possitive feedback. The iron chef was as happy to meet me as I was to meet him. Very cool.Tonight is family bonding night and just a syncing in. Ha ha.
Kaylee told me to please turn off Lady Gaga, cuz the song is ringing in her ears and head all day and won’t go away. I love the way she expressed herself. I also got some strawberries for the kids today and when they ate them Kaylee said,” Strawberries are the language of love.” Oh and speaking of the language of love, William told me that he looked at girls in bikinis on line, and wanted my forgiveness. I told him that is totally natural and okay. he was relieved. His teacher had nothing to say but nice things about him as well as Jac’s. I see how Jac being the middle child gets a bit neglected sometimes and how I need to really focus on that not happening……….Night, night.

Ha ha. It seems no matter how old we get, especially when one has childish tendencies (ha) our mothers still watch out for us like no other. My mother was givng me a mini lecture yesterday but in a loving tone, and she made a lot of sense. I respond much better to soft lectures. Anyways I was surprised by some of her comments , that she noticed (damn hate when that happens) but she has good insight. So I need to look at what she said.
Yesterday some comical things that occured and I laughed then locked in my blog part of my brain-was when William and I were leaving, I was rushing, yep, and I grabbed a bowl from the night before, that had spinach dip in it. I filled it up wtih water cuz thats what I do. William came running in and said,”Mommy bailey’s water bowl has guacamole, and I said, “No its spinach and its good for him.” I sort of saw that on a sitcom. I have a lot of outer body experiences like this. ha ha. William never misses a thing. Then Kaylee came in and had made cards for me and for her friend Ava. They were beautifully done except for she ripped out leaves from my indoor plants to decorate them. he he. …………………Oopsy back track. On of the things my mother told me was when I am entertaining or have people over, and my kids ask something of me, that I want them to wait until the people leave. I thought that was okay and I usually pass it on to another child.. She was explaining to me how it looks and makes them feel.
Have to tell a few stories today cuz they occured, so Hannah M will have to wait. I am embarrased to say this cuz I hold the worlds record for losing my keys, phone, atm card, license. etc.I misplaced my keys. So yesterday I was stranded and I actually got a lot done around the house. I cleaned it, organized my jewelry (yea one step at a time) Part of solution not problem. anyways it felt nice to have no options to go anywhere. I managed to have some friends and get out which was nice and it all worked out but it is amazing how inconveniencing it is to not have a car. Last night we just had a nice family steak dinner, and all the kids were happy. I went to bed at eight thirty again. Jac told me my hair looked very nicely brushed. Ha ha. When I wake up the extentions look like a birds nest. I have so much hair like cousin It. Hopefully cuter though,. Oh and for the great housewives out there that keep their house immaculate-Charlene recommended Mr Magic Sponges……..well oh my gosh……….they took the dirt of everything my walls, my couch etc tc. just hope they don’t deteriorate them but so far so good. I am a fan!!!

Okay so I have turned over a new leaf and going to try and write more oten and briefer as to not confuse and overwhelm. So my story today will just be about wiliam. William my elleven year old, just told me he reads my blog now. He said He really enjoys it because he understands my perspective now and gets to hear my side of the story. Last week at church, he heard the pastor say when we jude someone or critisize just look at oursleves first because that is always where it begins or hypocricy starts. I really believe in this and it has changed my life for the better. Wills was so cute, and then I told him when I die or when he is grown up he can read his life documented daily since he was six. We went back to the first time I wrote and it was all about William. He loved seeing that. It was a special moment and everything in our home is running smooth for the most part. The kids have all been sleeping with me, cuz they are scared about the girl that was found at the bottom of Lake Hodges, but I am sure that will be not long lived. I am staying home more and having friends over and it feels nice cuz I get to be with my babies and adults all in a nice setting. I am going to have a lot of dinner parties in the next few months. Lovin it…………oh and I have been scolded by many about my foot an still wearing highheels and now I am seeing how my foot is not healing so I am finally listening. Gotta do a show saturday in La for Oscars and I guess I will be wearing flip flops and using a crutch. so much for glamour but hey sympathy works as well. ha ha. Next blog……..hannah montana.

I admit it my dog is tiring me out. He wants to play twenty four seven as well as is constantly chewing my nice boots, my hair, and eating things that he can choke on. I really do love him and we all enjoy him but I admit I forgot how much work it is. Anyways the other night he got out and was running in the street and we wcould not catch him. It took five of us. Dyane said I looked like Bridgette Bardeaux running with my long hair and highheels and could not catch him for the life of me. It was comical and more data for my new reality show,”Who’s that girl??” that is what Dyane thought up for me. I think I will make it the name of my book as well. Yesterday I let my lovely neighbor and friend take Bailey, or should I say she helped me out, I even gave her my Gucci tote to bring him around. I find myself calling him Molly, and a girl but that should adjust in time.. So much has happened and so many memories I want to blog about but I am going to try and keep it simple and hopefully I can remember them all one at a time. So I guess I will start with this past weekend. Ashleigh told me she was getting married three days before she did it. Well it so happened I had planned a dinner party that evening and they are so hard to schedule so i did not want to cancel it. Anyways so I tried to find someone to venture up to Fallbrook with me, as I am afraid of the unknown. No such luck so Kaylee and I had to tough it out. Well I tried to use my navigation and by accidently put in the wrong information and that did not help. It talked to me the entire drive up there saying,”Take a uturn as soon as safe.” I could not turn the fricken thing off. Then it would shout directions out and follow them with another uturn. It was like a bad sitcom. So we were on the way and I started seeing signs for fallbrookand so we got off the freeway, if you can call it that. ha. jk. I was looking for someone to ask and there was nobody in site. I panicked and started calling every guy friend I have, cuz men are better at telling us directions right? Lord knows they don’t ask…….ha ha. Anyways nobody was answering until my girl Stacy called me back and saved My a**……..She looked up address and stayed on phone with me and until I found it and then sent me directions home. Love ya sister. when I feel blessed she is one of the people in my life I feel blessed with. oh and you too charlene,,,always. xo. Love ya……….So made it to the wedding and showed up late but it was just starting. I think we stood out like a sore thumb in Fallbrook with my highheeled boots, puppy in gucci bag and the usual. I was so surprised how put together this was and how special the ceremony was. Ashleigh looked beautiful and they both looked so in love and content. It was sweet. Congratulations Ash and Zach. Then we rushed out of there and managed to go to the grocery store get home by four and cook up a wonderful dinner. You know I work well on adrenaline. It was very fun for me to entertain and set up the table nice for people I care about. Everyone was in good spirits and I was filled with joy. The feedback was very nice and eveyrone loved the food. Now I got the flava for doing my dinner parties again. I am much more in to doing dinner parties than going out to the same, dumb bars. So it was nice to have a nice night, but I have to tell you about the horrid twenty four hours prior to that. Also did I write about our trip to see Mileey????

Right now the puppy is tugging at my pant leg, he is giving my hair a break. Oh by the way yesterday the alarm guy who is sort of a friend came by my house to help me safety proof my house, and my dear son William told him two patches of my hair extentions fell out, and needed to be glued back in. Love , lOve when those prescious words come out of my darlings mouths. Ha ha. …………I have been doing to much again. I fell asleep at seven thirty last night to prove it. I keep having to remind myself to say no, and priorities. My foot is fractured a bit but healing quickly. I am happy about that. I have not worked out hard in a few days and I am josning for it. I took a vicadin the other day and did I have a day of laughing all day. I was cracking myself up with my quick wit. I had lunch with Hadley and we had a wonderful time, as usual, supporting one another, loving and laughing. This must be the week for highschool reunions, cuz yesterday I saw Cynthia for lunch and I have also known her for twenty five years………Off to take the kids to school. I will blog later.

My foot is fractured…….yowza. The only time it feels ok is when I take a vacadin. I have a walking cast and crutches. First time in my life ever, not so bad since my nickname is Calamity. ha So I am chalking it up to a life lesson and experience. My trainer said we can work around it so it’s all good. William has bronchitues and now Kaylee and Jac are coughing. Those kids work me not sure when its real or if it’s memorex……………..Kaylee is taking care of me and say’s she feels so bad, and WIlls is being a doll. Jac is busy with his xbox, the love of his life. Gotta work compassion a bit. William told me yesterday that he told the girls at school, you can lock a guy up in the bathroom, with food water, and xbox and that is all they need. I said-until you turn thirteen then you will want a girl with you in there. Ha ha. He said he is not sure what else he can learn in sex ed since everyone knows it all………..aaaaaaaaaa yyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaa. I don’t think so but I am glad I don’t have to tell him about it. William is growing up so much, it is bitter sweet. Kaylee is def. acting like a almost six year older…………………..I feel that I need to check my spelling and grammar more on my blog but not now since I just took a vicadin. Probably will blog later since I will be around. So remember this don’t jump a three foot fence with highheel boots on no matter how cute you think you look. Ha . It was funny yesterday everywhere I went someone commented on my limp nad half of them saw me. William say’s “mom you know you are popular when you tell preson and ten call you right after that they heard. ” Ha. I said Some people love and some don’t, especially I think my new neighbors around here> They are not sure waht to think yet.

Another lesson learned the hard way- I went to Jac and Kaylee’s soccer game all dressed up cuz we were suppose to go to the theater. well I had the great idea to jump a three foot high fence in highheel boots, and not such a great idea. I fell and hurt myself landing so hard on my heel. I have not felt that fearful or that mch pain in a long time. thoughts were running through my head as I was laying on the cement. William was with me and half laughing and half concerned. then these two guys came over to me and said,”r u okay? we saw you jump but not get up?” Ha ha. They were very nice but William was like a true gentleman helping me alk. We went to get some tacos and ice my foot and hung out for a while, and it was very special and nice. love time with him solo.. He is being so sweet again and realized that he was regressing again and asked if he could start over. I said,”you can always start over, and everyday is a new day to make a difference.” Thank God for this, It is a life savor and very important. My trainer told me what to do and hopefully it will not be to bad tomorrow. I am so in to working out I will be upset if I can’t. Why do I have to learn lessons the hard way???
Btw kaylee and Marina were hilarious at soccer. Kaylee was more interested in her hair looking in place and then she would tiptow on the tulips the entire game. I don’t care if she does not play well, I am just enjoying her exersizing and how flippin cute she is on the field. Dyane and Chris are much more competative with Marina, Infact it is hilarious to see. Despite hurting my foot, I had a great day with a lot of laughs. Jac ofcourse scored two goals and was he champ of the team and creamed them. He is so excited and everyone is saying he will be pro……………I never mentioned to you all that the other day when I was crying about my past dog, I forgot to take her ashes away. Isn’t that ironice, after crying so hard about her. I then was distracted with telling my mom the story and blogging about it. ……….Last night Charlene and family came over for dinner. We barbqued steaks and had a lovely feast. I was telling her that my friend mei was menitioning how it is nice when someone keeps their home nice and cleanthat it is very important. I was so in to cleaning when I first got married and then a few years ago, I gave up. now I am trying to balance cleaning with work, friends, fun. It is not easy, especially cuz I have so many more responsibilities. Infact I forgot to take trash out for three weeks, and had to take it out with Wiliam. First time in my life, and I did not like it at all. Yuck. I won’t do that again. Man this year is full of lessons. My friend asked Jac to help and he acted like we wanted him to climb mt. everest. After a lot of pleading he did it but cried the entire time, and pretended he sprained his ancle. As you can see my kids are not use to helping. So my lovely friend Charlene, was giving me some of her southern hints on being a good homemaker. She told me to get up an hour and a half early clean the kitchen and then throw a load of laundry in. She was so sweet to tell me that, and now I just have to do it. !! Just do it, like Nike….. My parents made it to the play that we will go to next week, and they loved it. My Mom said my dad smiled the entire time. so happy. …………I made the mistake of giving my puppy some steak today, then he barked all day for m ore. Not a good………..kaylee just asked me to listen to her burping and guess what she is saying? It was the alphabet. Guess it’s evident that she has brothers and is only girl………..Off to take a bubble bath with Kaylee and ice my foot. Nite

I am lovin my extentions and so are my boys. The puppy keeps biting them and whn I say something to Bailey about it Kaylee say’s He is just brushing my hair with his teeth. Ha ha. Kaylee now wants to do cheerleading. She wants to keep up wiht all of the girls at school. I am not a mom to sign my kids up for three or four things. I think it’s cute that she wants to do it. She carries the puppy everywhere and evertime we let it outside she goes and gets it cuz she thinks its cold. ha. Yesterday she was saying that her bff marina has the best wardrobe ever and she only wants me to buy clothes for her, when I am with her. Okay bossy five yera old. She wore one of my brouches the other day that weighs as much as she does. She described it as being the perfect dimensions for her body. Okay???? Now when I watch Disney with them I comment on all the sassy bad behavior. so what else other than Kaylee? hmm. Jac has another soccer game today and is excited. Kaylee has one as well, and told me it is too tiring and she does not want to go. Too bad. Their games are back to back today and then we are off to go to the theater to watch another version of willy Wonka and chocolate factory. My dear friend Maica and her lovely daughters are in it. BTW did I tell you that Kaylee wants to audstion for Annie now. Although she does not want to take lessons so we might need an act of God or a miracle is required-that is if she has any of my voice in her. Ha ha. My parents are coming to the show and then we are having dinner with them. A nice family day. Enjoy it.

i woke up today feeling a bit bummed from the drama yesterday and lack of sleep and did not feel to good but I ended up having a great day. A day so great that you want it to continue and never end, where you feel so blessed and lucky and you def. don’t want that to end. Anyways the big news of the day is that I got hair extentions….omg. I forgot how much fun long hair is and was. I am defintitely noticing an attention increase. The best news is that they look real , mainly because my hair is so thick and looks like the extentions hair. Fun new thing. Today we all loved on our puppy again and Kaylee said,”This puppy makes me smile everyday, ” and i said,”I agree.” I also say that about you Kaylee everday. I can’t remember if i wrote about this or not but the other day at Daisy meetings. Kaylee had told me how she loves being small now cuz all of the taller kids fight over carrying her around and treat her like a baby . hA. well I saw it in action today. I don’t remember that as much as everyone carrying me down the halls by my overalls, or guys pinching my hynie…..ha ha> So one story before I go night night. I went to Kaylee’s daisy meeting the other day and besides the fact that our puppy stole all of the spotlight, and I was warned from bringing him again, they had a policeman and a fireman. The fireman was talking about the safety and importance of putting up a smoke alarm and then my daugher shouted out,”We don’t have one anymore cuz my mommy would set it off when she burnt things and then my dadd ripped it out of the ceiling to shut it up. So now we don’t have one.” And I thought to myself Leave It to Beaver we will never be but going to bed early I got down pat.
