Monday Morning Ramblings

Linking up with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom

*** AAAAHHHHHH !!!!! its Monday already and that means no more sleeping in.  I love the weekends because the boys and I can sleep in and be lazy in jammies all morning.  Monday means dragging the kids out of bed if they did not go to sleep at 7:30, these boys need some serious sleep.  Monday also means a dash for the door so we can walk to school, I like to get them there early so they can play and warm up for there big brain day.

***  My obsession with Walking Dead, Masters of Sex and Homeland take up all my Sunday evening.  Seriously these shows are so amazing and I love every second of them.  Your probably thinking no big deal, when this season is over she can get back on a Sunday prep schedule.  No, I can't I'm sorry to say because then we have a round of Game of Thrones and whatever show will replace Dexter.

*** Does anyone else out there love to play games on your phone?  Its crazy how fun these silly games are.  I'm totally lovin Sugar Crush Saga again and PetPop.  I'm starting to understand that when its time for my kids to put their Kindles away they freak out.  I sometimes have to drag myself away from these games.  Phone games are required to have a timer for how long you can play, and that is no joke.

*** So we recently we lost our Englush Budgie Parakeet who we called "Pudgie".  He was 2 years old and overweight and slightly challenged in other ways if you know what I mean.  Once we brought him home I purchased "Opal" as his companion.  Now that Pudgie is no longer with us Opal is very sad and needy.  She will fly out of her cage when the door is open and land on your shoulder.  This is amazing because the people I bought her from said she was wild and was given to them because kids chased her around.  This sweet little bird got on my finger the day I brought her home, such a doll.

*** Last thought is this; I NEED TO PACK for our move to Texas.  I would like to have a very organized move and nothing break.  Its going to be a crazy move because its my family and my mom moving from two different locations in one semi-truck!  The truck will take our stuff and we will drive our cars and kids and animals out to Texas, YIKES!  I'm super excited and ready to go Today :)

*** Seriously October what is with this month that brings hot dry winds our way.  I know San Diego peeps are spoiled because are weather is amazing, but with that said this spoiled girl hates these dry winds and cold nights.  I really should not complain for one second considering we are moving to Texas in January.  Texas is going to be HOT and Humid so I better zip my mouth considering I will melt like the wicked witch, Help I'm Melting in Texas.  

*** Showtime always, and I mean always has amazing shows.  Personally Showtime puts out shows that are better than many movies they put in theaters these days.  Master Of Sex is no exception and is much deeper than a Porn, lol.   My Extreme Hobbyist personality and easily addicted to radness has got me hooked on this show.  I promise your going to love it and I recommend watching after the kiddos go to bed :)

*** Since were touching a bit of a naked subject, it popped Miley Cyrus into mind.  What is with this girl walking around naked all the time and making videos in her birthday suit.  She has a beautiful face and I must admit I have some of her songs on ITunes because I kinda like her stuff a tinie tinie bit.  To understand fully I think you should check out Vevo and watch her video "Wrecking Ball". 

 The Cambridge Satchel Company

***  I'm not joking when I say I NEED this bag immediately.  Santa I would like to put on my list the Batchel in Pink and if I'm a really good girl I will also like Vintage Brown too.  This company makes amazing bags that are oober chic and will never go out of style.  For me this is a purchase I consider an investment :)  Really, our purses are just an extension of our lives, careers as moms and allow us to be Mary Poppins. 

*** Heading to Bates Nut Farm this Saturday, our yearly visit to the pumpkin patch.  I have been going to this pumpkin patch since I was a child, and I have taken my kids every year as well.  I always take a pic of them sitting on Big Mac pumpkins in the field.  If I put all the pics together throughout the years they look like they are growing up on pumpkins, oober cute. 

*** Every year I'm torn as to how we should treat our pumpkins.  These little orange balls have taken months to grow and once we get our hands on them they are doomed, LOL.  If we cut them up they mold and squish to the ground like a melted pile of orange mush.  So the question is do we cut or paint?  I love to paint them and put super cute Halloween paper hats on them, they last for months.  Really though do I need them to last a month or just a few days?  I guess the kids will have to decide the fate of these orange dudes this year.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Linking of with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom to share what I'm loving this Wednesday.

Kigurumi Gloomy Bear Costume

I'm totally in love with these Japanese costumes called "Kigurumi", especially the Gloomy Bear.  You can order online or purchase at JapanLA, a super cute shop in Los Angeles that specializes in all things Kawii from Japan.  I'm not the kind of person that likes to dress up for Halloween, I just feel uncomfortable in itchy cheap costumes and makeup :(  But this Kigurumi I can totally get into, its like wearing super cute jammies.  I think I could rock this on a cold night at home, snuggled with kids and Chihuahuas too.

Every year I put Ugg Boots on my Christmas list in hopes that Santa will bring them.  Last year was not an Ugg year, so this year I think I will put them on my list again and cross my fingers.  I'm loving the button up ones this year because I think they will be super comfy with skinny jeans.

I'm loving my little boys, they are awesome and so much fun.  Yes this has been a difficult week, my oldest son has ADHD and it seems there is something in the water.  Its crazy because we can go a week or two and things go smoothly and its a good vibe in the house.  Then a week like this comes around and nothing goes right and he is falling apart at every seam.

Tuesday Troubles

*** Listen to your GUT, you know that thing down deep inside that warns you of something stupid you are about tot do, that Gut.  "I told you so" will ring loudly when you ignore your gut and do that stupid thing anyway.  Recently I ignored my Gut Feelings and it has left me terribly sad, full of grief to follow me in memory forever.  With that said life is full of ups and downs, we just keep hiking to the heavenly top and remember all is good with God.

*** Why is it that the exact item will be one clearance price at the Target five miles away, but ten miles away its on clearance for a totally different price or not at all.  All I can guess is that it has something to do with quantity on hand, and not that I'm driving around looking for the best deals on this particular idea.  Come on Target you need to be in more tune with me, lol.  

*** Our home is totally into Lego's right now, I mean just totally loving them with a full cup of love.  We all know that the Lego people are the BEST part of the entirely overpriced box.  Now you can buy Lego men in little Blind Bags.  My need to be a "Extreme Hobbyist" means I must hunt all of the series out.  So the adventure begins and I have a secret to reveal to my many followers, lol, zero people follow me.  Learn to feel the bag and all its little pieces, feeling for the one unique part to the character you want.  I think my success rate is about %75 !!!

Aaron is turning 8 today !!!

Happy 8th Birthday Papa

October, Friday the 13th 2005, you came into this world as our first born child.  It was an amazing moment in our life and such a blessing from God.  Perfect little man with the skin of an angel and the face of a little gnome.  I could not believe how much you looked like me, it was shocking, crazy part is you still do but with freckles.

Happy, Happy, Happy, you where the happiest baby all the time, except for those few weeks you cried every night from 9 to 1 in the morning.  Don't worry I cried with you too :)

Every day, you become more and more amazing, and I know you will be an amazing man, husband and father in your future.

Growing, is what we do everyday together as we travel through our lives together, learning, experiencing and becoming the best that we can be. 

Happy Birthday, Papa (Aaron the red baron), know you are loved with all my heart, you are amazing and my greatest gift and accomplishment.  You make me proud every day to be your mom.
