Love/hate

I love my husband very much. Like every person I have things that I love about him and then I have things that drive me nuts! And as we were sitting on the couch watching a t.v show he did something that just annoyed the hell out of me and I nicely said how it was annoying lol. So I'm going to write! I have many many things that I love about him. So many I probably won't remember and miss some of the important ones. But I'm clarifying now there are many things that I love about him, and outweigh my pet peeves! :)

 

 

Things that drive me nuts!

- We will be watching a tv show and he will turn it to something else during commercial then I get interested in that one and then he turns it back and we missed something in what we were originally watching!

 

-He freaks out when his nose is plugged or stuffy. Like he will panic and say he can't breathe lol. Open your mouth babe you can breath. And he will sniff non stop and blow hard in and out. Then I have to tell him if he's going to continue he needs to do it in the bathroom lol.

 

- He's like OCD to some point. He will walk by our desk pick up papers and move them to another spot. He's always moving things and loses them. I know where I sit or put something then he will move it somewhere else. Just because he needs to do something.

 

- Everytime we get into the car, (I usually drive when we take my car) as I'm driving away from the house, he opens up the visor and looks in the mirror at his goatee and/or his hair wether hyenas a hat on or not. Lol he's worse than a girl!

 

- When we go somewhere its all about the food. He can walk into someone's house and if there's food out he will say something about it or eat it lol. As much as he loves food you would think he would be on those shows for how big someone is and can't move! Lol.

 

-When we argue he will repeat what I said with a question. And when he does he answers it and twists it around. Drives me nuts! Lol

 

 

A few things I love!

- He's always there. Plain and simple. Whenever or for whatever reason I can always count on him. That's means the world to me.

 

- He never complains. He's always happy and in a good mood. (Yeah total opposite from me, which is why I say we balance each other out lol)

 

- He will clean up animal crap/vomit, change diapers, clean up any of our puke with no problems at all. I have a weak stomach so if he's home he cleans it up. And he doesn't care. Just does it like its nothing. <3 him so much for that.

 

- He will take me to any Girly,lovey dovey, chic flick movie I want to see and enjoy it. He says if it makes me excited and happy then he's enjoying himself. :)

 

-He goes shopping with me and likes it!

 

-He does housework.

 

 

There are many things that I love about him, these are just the uncommon things that my husband does that makes me love him even more! This post wasn't at all in a negative way. Just something quirky that I wrote because he did it right and there lol.

My favorite Pins!

Everyone all knows and is obsessed with Pintrest! If ou haven't joined Pintrest lately your missing out! It's absolutely addicting! When I first joined Pintrest I was overwhelmed! I started to get the hang of it and used it to my benefit. I wish I could try everything I pin, but we all know we don't lol. I do however use it often! I've used it for recipes, tips on style, holiday ideas, and a bunch of crafts for the kids!

 

 

Here are some is some of the fun stuff we have tried!

 

Chicken pot pies in muffin pans! Oh so yummy!

 

S'mores! Lucas and I made these for his class!

Layered brownie dessert. OMG the best thing ever!

 

Count down to Chriatmas with books! Every day Lucas was able to open a book.

Tomato, Fresh Mozzerella, Avacado, olive oil. I'm hooked!

Elf on the Shelf. First day for Red!

Xmas trees made from Popsicle sticks!

Lucas made marshmallow snowmen!

Sugar cone Christmas trees!

Cookie cutter pizzas. These were fun and delicious!

 

 

This is only some of the Pins that I have tried. I have made so many meals using Pintrest. I use it daily. Every Sunday when I sit down and make out my grocery list I get on Pintrest and see what new recipes I'd like to try.

There are so many different crafts I have done with the kids as well. I wanted to do all of them for Christ,as but there wasn't enough time to lol. So I have plenty more to try for next year!

If you haven't joined yet you don't know what you are missing. It's totally worth your time!

What good happened to you in 2012? Bad? I don't have anything I can say horrible happened but I have had a decent happy year in 2012. I married my best friend and love of my life! I gained a daughter, I went from shared parenting to full custody of my son, I really got better at couponing, Detroit Tigers went to the World Series for the 2nd time since I've been born lol (even if we did lose!) and much more!

 

I became a better person this past year. I have a very happy family life. This is what I've always wanted! I donated a lot of food and other items. I really grew up. And I'm glad I did!

 

Look at all the new (old) toys that came out in 2012. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Furby!, Gak, Floam and more! So many toys that have came back out or are more popular again!

 

What is everyone doing tonight!? Anyone doing anything fun and exciting? We have the kids this year so we are taking them bowling! We reserved a package for 2 1/2 hours. Pizza, bowling, pop and fun! Got them,ids glow bracelets and necklaces! Then after we are going to my sister-in-law's house to hang with family for a bit! I'm super excited to take them bowling!

 

I want to wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope everyone has a fun and safe night!

Perdue Oven Ready Chicken is bangin'!!

I was sent a Bzzkit with a free coupon for a free Perdue Oven Ready chicken to review. In my kit I also received coupons to pass out for others.

I give this chicken 10 thumbs up! It was so easy to make and tasted amazing!

You buy it right from the refrigerated meat section. You can either cook it then fresh or you can freeze it and cook it later. Well I didn't have it in my meal plan to cook that week so I put it in my freezer and cooked it this past week. ( a week later) ... So I figured you would have to defrost if before cooking, but nope! You can pull it from them freezer and cook right away!

It was so moist and juicy! There was even a ton of juice left over to make a gravy. Which they even give you directions n how to make a gravy!So I preheated the oven, cut open the package, and took the chicken (which was already seasoned and in a cooking bag) cut a slit, and put in baking dish. I cooked it for 2 hours and 45 minutes and it was done!

This chicken had such a great flavor! It was so simple a child could do it! (Obviously old enough to use an oven with an adult!) Its great for a full time working mom who wants to cook a nice meal for her family! It's so simple to prepare, cook, and cleanup!

Here is a picture of my Perdue Chicken after it was cooked. I forgot to take a picture of it before I cute it up lol.

I'm giving this a 10++++

Lucas begged and begged for Sylander's for Christmas. I heard good things about the game so I decided to give it a shot. It did seem confusing with all of the characters that they make for it. Different elements. I heard you need certain characters for certain parts of the game. So I was lost on what to exactly buy.

I bought Skylander's Spyro Adventure's for my Xbox 360. I just got him the starter pack. Since we did Christmas with Santa on Christmas Eve morning because Lucas would be with his dad Christmas morning I got to see the game played before I purchased anything else. Well ToysRus ended up having Skylander's buy one get one free. They are $10.99 a piece. So I got 4 for the price of 2. I have him those when he got back from his dads.

We are both hooked on this game! There are 7 elements so you should start with 7 different figures, since you need certain elements for certain areas of the game. Their are 32 Skylanders characters for the Spyro series. Then they recent,y came out with Skylander's Giants.

Eventually we will get that but probably not for a year. This will keep us plenty busy! It's a very fun game and story line. I love this game and am hooked myself! You can play one or two players which is nice since I get to play with Lucas and I can also play my own game while he's in bed! Lol.

So I highly recommend this game for everyone. Not just boys or kids but for girls and adults also! Very fun game for everyone!!

I finally said "I do"

 

On Friday July 13th I finally gave up the single life and married Lee. Lol! Actually the day was perfect. It went so smooth it was amazing!

I stayed at my parents house the night before so Lee could stay with the kids at the house. When My alarm went off I just wanted to hit off and go back to sleep. I was tired and NERVOUS! My heart was already racing and it was only 8 am!

I made sure my parents were both awake and hit Kroger for breakfast Goodies! I was determined to try and eat! And the kids were being dropped off to me around 9-10 am. So I picked up muffins, doughnuts, cinnamon rolls and of course Orange juice!.. I had a muffin and coffee. And that was all that hit my stomach until dinner!

Tiff came over to do our hair. She cut my dads first. Then my turn! It took awhile but the end result was gorgeous! But then again Tiff never does a bad job! She then did Mandy's and my moms.... Time to load the car, pick up bouquets and get to the church!

I was so ungodly nervous! My hands were trembling as I did my mascara! Lol. I got the kids ready, then mom and Mandy got ready then was the hard part... Me! Took awhile to get my dress on without messing up my hair! And took even longer lacing the back of my dress up since it was a corset top.

Finally everyone was ready and it was time. When I stood outside the door hearing the songs change to my son. Michelle featherstone " we are man and wife" I started to panic a little bit. There was a certain part I was to start walking at. She sang and my dad was telling me I'd be fine. The was the part "and now we are man and wife" and I tapped my dad with my elbow and said, "ok dad, let's go!" and we walked. We got around the the corner (and my dad stepped on my dress lol) and I looked up and saw Lee standing up there. I saw he had tears in his eyes and I looked away, straight forward. I just kept telling myself to breathe. I was shaking so bad! I didn't even hear half of the what the pastor was saying! Lol.. We wrote our own vows so we read them, lit the unity candle, and passed out the roses to our parents. His brother and sister took his mom (in heaven) and dad (in Florida recovering open heart surgery). Finally we said "I do" and kissed. We were married!

I was so overwhelmed but in a good way. I married my best friend. After the ceremony at the church we went to Botanical Gardens so Abby (a friend from high school) could take our pictures. I haven't recieved the cd yet just some that she has tagged me on Facebook and wow she did good!

 

I can't wait to see all the other pictures that she took!! I can't wait to get them printed and in albums, frames, and on my walls!!

We had a great time!... After pictures we went to Spaghetti Warehouse where we met our close friends and family. We were there for quite awhile talking, laughing and having fun. We cut the cake and smashed it in each others face! Lol. Although it was real icing and wouldn't smear real well. We still had a great time. Then we went on the party bus! All our friends family and we had a blast! ... Mandy loaded a cooler with beer and cupcake vodka for shortcake bombs! They were yummy! Laughing, blasting music, drinking while driving to the next stop.. It was fun. Had a great time!

I'm glad we decided not to have a huge wedding. That's not me. I don't really like being center of attention, being in front of a big crowd all eyes on me. Had a small ceremony, a nice dinner, and out for drinks after, all with only close friends and family. It was small and intimate. Memorable. I had a great nit with my husband :).

Games and movies aren't the cause!

I don't understand how people think. A guy kicks in the emergency exit door wearing a gas mask and throws a can of tear gas out and opens fire, shooting randomly. Many injured and several die. Ages ranging from 3 months to 45 years of age. What do people talk about? Why would a parent bring a 3 month old to a movie theater that late at night. It had to of been the media that made him snap. Movies and games are just so violent nowadays. I mean REALLY people!?! Really?

I don't understand how society can put blame on a video game or a violent movie. It's a movie. Fiction. Not real. Plain and simple. A violent movie isn't going to make you go out and buy a gun and kill people. This guy had this planned out. I've didn't just snap this was premeditated. He was already not right in the head. A sane person doesn't go in wearing a gas mask, throw a can of tear gas and shoot up the place. Not only did he kill and injure adults but he also killed and injured children. He had to of know children would be there. To me that's the sockets you can possibly get. Killing an innocent child. He was sick. Movies didn't make him this way. He can't blame it on video games.

People always want to put the blame on someone else. I'm not even saying the shooter is saying this. It's other people talking. It's something your born with or the type of environment you grew up in. Don't put the blame on an easy way out on something on t.v. I'm do sick and tired of hearing it! I grew up watching violent movies, playing with guns, and playing violent games and I am not a murderer.

I Took my 5 year old son to see this movie last night. He has seen The Dark Knight before also. Lucas is not violent in any way. I sensor some shows/movies but only nudity and scary movies. He gets nightmares from scary movies so I choose to not let him watch those. Violence and swearing is reality. I'm not going to shelter him. Some people think that's wrong. the media thinks violent movies and games make our kids grow up to act like this sicko!! I believe your born with a feeling to kill. It's in you from the day you were born. You born with a sickness. Normal people can't just shoot someone for revenge or just because. I do believe your upbringing and home environment can also play roles.

Say if your father was a leader of a gang and you grew up with him in and out of jail or killing and robbing people then your more likely to do the same as your grow up.. But seriously don't blame the tv and games!! Its just a place to point the blame. An excuse. Not reality!
