Jessica Simpson is Fat???

I have a not-so-deep-dark-secret... I love celebrity gossip. I check People and Tmz with more frequency than I like to admit. So when all the gossip sites blew up with the buzz that Jessica Simpson was fat, in morbid curiosity I looked here at OK mag., expecting to see a lard butt(see my pics), and she is a stinking a size 8. That's fat?? Come on aren't there more pressing things in the world? Not to mention tons a little girls seeing a star ripped to shreds over actually eating! Just had to speak my piece on this. I know I probably don't help the cause actually reading this crap, but really? This is important, in a time when people are worried about having enough to feed their children?

CVS...slow week

I am getting really behind with coupon clipping! Two weeks into the semester and I am drowning in a sea of homework, ugh.
Dh was happy CVS had his shampoo on sale!
I got:
5 Gillette Shampoos sale $4.99 each
used 2 $2/2 qs
earned 3 ecbs on each
1 One touch monitor $19.99
used $20/1 q
2 Revlon Mineral Eye Shadow Trios sale $8.99 bogo
used 2 $1/1qs and $2/1 CVSq
Used $10/50q and 16 ecbs
Earned 15 ecbs
Total oop .33!

I had to get yet another One touch monitor to fill up to $50 because my CVS was out of Johnson's buddies soaps and I didn't read the fine print on the Fusion gamer razors. The sale started on Sunday but they wont have the razors in store until the 30th.. Bummer.
Does anyone need a monitor?? Really! I have a ton of them!

Just Another Monday

Well my day started up full of hope, I was finally getting my oven fixed (after 5 stinking weeks without one), alas my dreams of baking cookies, were squashed. They ordered the wrong damn part and it will take 2-3 weeks more!! I could cry.

My sister and I got our hair cut and mine looks pretty cute! Kinda healed the oven pain.

I arrived home to a freaking garbage can in the middle of my driveway. My dh put his foot down and is calling to complain.

Wanna hear the coolest part of my day? I met someone who reads my blog! Someone who I didn't beg to read it! lol
She is actually in my History class and recognized me! Holy cow how cool is that? People actually read this thing!

Open Note to My Garbage Guys

WHY do you hate me? We have lived here 3 years and everything in garbage land was cool. Then last year, I noticed my can wasn't quite making back to the curb, kinda (a lot) in the road. I was mildly annoyed, but hey, its your can and if it gets smashed it is not my fault. Then I backed out one day without checking and WHAM smacked my garbage can. Where was my can? It was in the MIDDLE of my damn driveway. Every Monday and Thursday my garbage can is in the middle of driveway. Now maybe I am the dumb butt, cuz I forgot to check, but yesterday I smacked the damn thing again and broke my side mirror. Dh is not happy.
So back to my original thought, why do you hate us? We don't even have diapers in there anymore! Did I break some thrash can code? I checked and no one else in our neighborhood gets cans in their driveway.
Thanks for letting me rant ya'll.

A Day I Never Imagined I Would See

I sit here, in awe, watching our 44th president accept his new position. My boys are excited, because we have been supporting Obama from day one, but they don't see the big deal about him being elected. As a mom of bi-racial children, I cry because this means when I tell them that they can be anything when they grow up, it is true. I cry because he has a way with words, that inspires hope and faith in his ability to lead us. I cry because I know this man will bring much needed change to a nation where the American dream has been lost.

A Look Back...Year at Disney

Note that I tured the pics into polaroids, I am soo hooked on it.


Have I mentioned we like Disney a bit? Maybe a few (hundred) times?? Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Florida, high of 72 and perfect clear skies. We spent the day wandering around Epcot and enjoying the day. I bet some of you may wonder why we would blow a lot of money on Disney passes, when we don't have much money to start with (I am guessing those thinking this are also wondering why we keep having kids too) but let me tell you it was worth every penny!
To be honest having a child with autism is no picnic and most out of the house activities are really rough, but last year a friend got us into the park for free and WOW! Noah loved it, as did all of us, but rather than screaming like he normally did when confronted with crowds, he was happy! That sold us..
It been a whole year and we have gone around 45-50 times, can you imagine that would have cost around $16,000? lol The passes are less than 10% of that cost.
Noah still loves it and his ability to deal with crowds has continued to get better, though he does still FREAK if someone touches him.
Please consider this and open apology to anyone he has called a jacka$$ in the last year, its his word of choice and we are still working on it.
We are really hoping to renew our passes and continue to go.

****Note to tourists, if you see someone running around a building SCREAMING a name, they are probibly looking for a lost child, GET OUT of the WAY!!
This happened to us yesterday and I guess this group of tourist thought I wanted there spot in line for soda (G*d forbid) and refused to move. UGH
