~{Confessional Friday}~

CONFESSIONAL FRIDAY

Its time to confess!!!

~{1}~

It is so stinking hot outside that the only time I have gone outside today is because Mr.Bax has to pee.  And the only reason I even went out then is because he can't be trusted to do this on his own.

~{2}~

This leads to confession number 2... Being that I have not had to go outside today other than for Mr.B's needs.. I have not changed out of my pj's let alone showered today.  Hey! A girl deserves a weekday of doing nothing every once in a while!

~{3}~

I found two boxes of RIT dye under the sink that the previous tenant left (my mother.. leaving a trail everywhere she goes;) ) and weeelllll... I mixed them together today and redyed my living room curtains. Blog to follow on that fiasco!

Baby Addi is almost here!!!! I can't wait to see her sweet face!!!!

~{5}~

A family friend told me and Sissy that we can work harder than most guys she knows.  

That's one of my favorite kinds of compliments. :)

I (the work-a-holic) am looking forward to not doing a dang thing this weekend (with the exception of helping mom and Tater finish painting!)

Happy Friday!!

It's raining babies..

So its raining babies, people!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!

This pretty much sums up how I feel right now..

On a more serious and happy note:

My:

Sister from another mister Mama Bird is having a boy!!!

and...

my sister from the same mister is having a girl!!!!

annnnndd...

they are due within days of each other!!!!

So needless to say we (Sissy and I) ended up being hostesses for both of our sistas on the same weekend.

For those of you who have ever been a hostess for anything be it baby or wedding shower, know that you should never double them up.. EVVVEERRRR!!  It causes people who always get along to fight and dislike each other and causes stress for EVERYONE.  So to all my friends who are currently pregnant, plan to soon become pregnant, married or anything else that involves a shower please be considerate to your hostesses.. they love you and are trying their best!

In the long run both showers were successful and we all still love each other! Here are some pictures to prove it.....

Who's the bomb??? The Sisters.. that's who! Mom made 132 cupcakes... Gam decorated 132 cupcakes and the Sisters made Cupcake Bouquets!

Gam and MooMoo

Nana and Momma

The Pregnant Beast... Looking very cute I might add

 ..here too..

and the highlight of the afternoon ..well my highlight anyway.. a electronic booger sucker.  As if this poor kid isn't going to be traumatized enough by having her boogers sucked out we are sucking them out with a battery operated booger sucker! I tell you what! Technology.. geeze!

Unfortunately/fortunately I don't have any pictures of the other baby shower, but it was cute too!

Happy Tuesday!!

Pearls of Wisdom

Pearls of Wisdom...

                          ...from none other than...

                                                  ....my muhtha...

Those who know my mom describe her as funny, caring, intelligent, loud and witty (among other things.)

I would describe my mother as:

• beautiful on the inside and outside
• loud AND witty
• hilarious
• dorky
• intelligent
• caring
• kind
• wise
• short (dynamite comes in small packages)
• strong

So you're getting the picture right? 

I mean who else could raise 3 crazy daughters by herself and come out alive?!

Times of high stress for me ALWAYS involve a trip to sonic.  ALWAYS.  These times also simultaneously involve me calling my mom to _____ (insert: cry, vent, ball hysterically, throw ideas around, ask for advice, etc.)  I don't even plan for it to happen, but inevitably I find myself at some sort of beverage serving establishment trying to pull myself together to speak coherently enough for the disembodied voice to understand that I want a "large dr. pepper."

So, this past Friday I found myself on the phone with my mother and this time at a Starbucks ordering a Grande chocolate chip cookie frappe thing, (which was absolutely AMAZING!!)  

My mom laughed as usual, because I was telling her about life as I know it and ordering an extra sugary, un-healthy beverage.  The topic of this conversation was the death of a friend.  I was upset, but holding it together.  I was telling her how I this friend had barely been married for a year and didn't seem to be living his life on the edge like he used to and suddenly he has a heart attack! What the hell!?  My mom's pearl of wisdom which as usual took me by surprise went something like this: (best if read in a German accent) 

"Well Annie, that's just proof that you shouldn't stop drinking, acting crazy and living life on the edge!  Because you know, only the good die young!  Just proof that getting your life together might end in you dying! Might as well be bad and have fun!" 

So there you have it.. straight from the krout...

                      ....be bad because the good die young!

Happy Monday y'all!
