I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by the lovely Bobby over at Mom2dm. Be sure to visit her blog. Thanks Bobby!

Here's the RULES:

Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules in your post.
Share 7 random/weird facts about yourself.
Tag 7 random people at the end of your blog and link to their blogs.
Let each person know they've been tagged by leaving a comment in their blog.

1. I love fresh squeezed lemonade: 1 lemon, cut in half, juiced, 3 tsps sugar, 3 ice cubes, and a lot of water. Mmm.

2. The most common argument I have with my husband is about sex (how much we have don't have of it.) It's also about him being a pervert.

3. I still look at my husband the same as the day I met him. He is handsome, beyond words, and I love him so much.

4. One time I was eating as orange in the car, and I was so hungry, I shoved half of it in my mouth at once. I started to chew, but it was absolutely full of seeds. I was on the highway, and couldn't stop to spit the wood-tasting mouthful out, and I had nothing in the car to spit it out into.

5. I generally bite off way more than I can chew. For example, I had thought that since I was home already with my kids, it would be nice to raise puppies as well (good experience for all of us.) I would never recommend this however to anyone with 3 small children. I clean up more poo in a day than the guy driving the sewage truck.

6. I finally got my double jogging stroller, and after my 4 year-old went to school, I went for a jog. I felt like a Goddess! Oh my gosh, I finally feel free again. It was peaceful, quiet, and felt like it was just me - but my little ones were right there with me, it was awesome.

7. I'm now reading the last Harry Potter book, I will admit that I think that J.K Rowling is a writing sensation/genius. Love her writing.


I will now tag....



1. Melanie of Straight to Your Hart
2. Tena of Punky Monkey's
6. Diva Ma of Mommy Fabulous
7. Becky of Behind Blue Eyes



Thanks again Bobby for the tag!

Junk in My Trunk

As I bent over to pick up some dirty clothes off of the floor, and head toward the laundry room with them, I catch my husband staring at me.

Of all days, today I look...well, like a slob.

And, I know it.

I don't often just not care what I look like, but every rare occasion I just don't have any gusto left to fiddle with my hair, or get all dressed up.

Besides, I had in mind to tackle a million things around the house, all of which would render me even more dirty, and slobbish looking.

Hubbie is still staring. He doesn't really look like he's happy, sad, mad, annoyed. Just a blank expression.

Straight away, I think to myself, oh gosh he must think I'm gross. Or fat. One or the other.

"What are you looking at?" I ask as he continues to stare.

He says, "Just at the junk in your trunk."

WHAT? Okay, so he does think I'm fat! I think to myself.

"What do you mean, the junk in my trunk?" I ask, now slightly perturbed.

"You know, the junk in your trunk." He repeats.

This conversation is going no where fast.

"Alright, are you saying that I'm fat? Cause you know, if you had 3 kids in 4 years I don't think you'd be looking like a hot skinny super model either." I protest.

He bows his head, and chuckles. "No, no, I think you're pretty, I'm admiring the junk in your trunk."

This still isn't making me feel any better.

"Alright, so you like that my butt is huge, thanks, thanks a lot. That makes me feel much better."

I don't normally get caught up in these "Am I fat? moments."
"No, I don't think you're fat, I'm admiring your junk - you know your boobs, and your snatch." He says.

I burst out laughing.
What!? I can't believe he just said snatch.

"Dear, junk in someones trunk, that means their big butt." I attempt to clarify.

"No, it means privates." He argues.

"No...." and we have a little friendly argument about the meaning of "Junk in my trunk."

When I think about it, the song "I like big butts" comes to mind.

Who knows though with all this lingo that changes practically daily.

I should start a poll for everyone to vote. Does "junk in your trunk" mean the fat in your butt, or your private parts? You tell me, apparently I'm out of the loop, but thankful that my husband doesn't think that I have a huge butt - to my knowledge anyhow.

Strobing His Stuff

Like a kid in a candy store, my husband pranced...dare I say *pranced* across our kitchen floor when he arrived home from work just the other day bearing a small box. The box appeared to house some kind of electronic/man tool/boring thing.



I heeded no concern.

However, hubbie continued to look extraordinarily excited. I wonder at this point - should I be worried?

When he finally set the mysterious box on the counter, I picked it up to get a better look, and to see what all of his excitement was about.

Do you know what it was?


A strobe light.

My husband made a special trip to the hardware store, to buy a strobe light.

What are we hosting a kiddy dance for all the 2, 3, and 4 year-olds in the neighborhood that I don't know about (I don't recall being informed about this monumental event.)


Then, I realize - ahhh, it's almost Halloween!! That's why he got the light. That makes sense, he wants to set the Halloween mood for when the 1...maybe 2 trick-or-treaters come. Oh wait, we won't be home!

What is this silly forsaken thing for anyway, I wonder?

So I ask. Trying not to sound annoyed that he spent money on something frivolous, or concerned about his mental state.

Me: "Dear, why did you buy a strobe light?"

Hubbie: "Just cause."

Me: "Cause....why?" I say, smiling.

Hubbie: "It's Halloween, don't you know."

Me: "Oh I know, well that's great! So why did you buy it?"

Hubbie: "Okay, well when I was younger these babies cost like 100 bucks, and it was on sale, and I always wanted one."

Me: Trying not to laugh my buns off at how geekishly corny, cute he is.

I shake my head, and continue about my business.

Well, I tell you there was so recapitulating of the good Ol' days because of that strobe light, no Sir. No heart felt fond memories of the yesteryear's.

He did not buy it because he always wanted one. As I saw later from my view laying in bed, with my naked hovering husband jiggling, and wiggling his buns in the blinking light - he bought it because he always wanted to dance in the light of a strobe light naked, in front of a woman.

I feel so lucky - Hehum to be that woman. Now turn off the light so you don't fall down, and break something, and so I don't feel like the world is spinning.

This is the good stuff that memories together are made of. This is right up there with the liquorice butt.

The Great Baby Debate

4 years, 5 months, and 17 days ago I became a Mom for the very first time. It was one of the happiest days of my life.

Now I'm a Mom to 3 beautiful, unique, and amazing little men.

Their ages are 4, 2, and now 1 year-old, and while I hear the words "you look like you have your hands full," far more times than I can possibly count as I push my grocery cart full of not only groceries, but children, I'm presently weighing my options of whether or not I should make my hands a little more full, or whether my husband should go ahead and get the snip-snip.

The great baby debate began the day after my youngster's first birthday party. The day that he stood, and declared the words Mama, with his grinning smile, and 6 protruding teeth, and - almost took his first step.

Now, he wants to play with his big brothers all of the time, and all they want to do is play all of the time, that has Mommy (me) feeling a little lonely without a baby to rock, and hold. I'm still so young, and just not sure if I'm comfortable with the thought that my little one year-old, going on 4 might be my last little bundle of joy.


Since I was little, I always thought that when I grew up I would have at least 1 boy, and 1 girl. Reality though, seems to say that this scenario simply isn't in the cards.

I know, and am a big believer in that if the baby is healthy, that's all that matters.

But, I'm thinking ahead...5 years, 10 years from now, am I going to look back, and wish that I had of had just 1 more child, just maybe that it might have been a girl.

I feel so selfish in having this thought.


But, when I look at my little men, and their father, and see how close to Daddy that they are becoming - well, it makes me think of how pretty soon, they're going to all want to do Guy Things, and little Ol' Mommy will be left all alone.

Maybe it's because I was so close with my mom, maybe it's because I lost her so early, that I long for that kind of Mother-Daughter relationship. So far, to no avail.

That isn't to say that my little guys aren't the love of my life, or that I love them any less, because I don't - they mean everything to me.

So, hubbie and I talked, and talked, and revisited this do we, or do we not subject over, and over again.


And, I'm happy to announce that we are not only making love for the sake of making love any more! We are trying to make a baby!!!!

Everyone think pink for me, would ya!?

The panties are coming off tonight Baby!!

Mama of Romance

Sassy Saturday - I'm the Sassy One Today!

I have to say I am so sorry if I have left comments for people that don't make any sense, or adhere to the wrong name!

Apparently it's tricky business blogging, and bouncing a baby at the same time.

I tagged some ladies, and might have left the wrong comment on the wrong blog! Renee, I am sorry! Yes, I am a little preoccupied...but not because I'm having sex! I was baking cookies.

Just kidding! Can you believe this picture! Who would make this kind of gingerbread cookie!?...other than my husband, who actually does make really yummy cookies. This is my sassy picture for today by the way!

Maybe, everyone should call me The Neurotic Mom - but I think I'll leave that title to the awesome Kelly!

Or say that I've gone Banana's - but no, I'll leave that to the Mom over at Absolutely Bananas!

Anyhooo....while I was at Renee's sweet blog Cutie Booty Cakes, I noticed this in the sidebar, and since it is of deep meaning to me because of my life experiences, I had to post it today.

I feel strongly about this subject (not feeling boobies) - no I don't enjoy feeling boobies, but in breast cancer awareness. So, ladies please pass it on, post it, make sure that you ALL check yourselfs out this week, and regularly!

Many of the women in my family have had breast cancer, some have not survived. Cancer is something that has deeply impacted who I am, and how I live.

So, please do your part to spread the word.

And, have a great weekend!

Mama of Romance

I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by the lovely Dee of Two of a Kind, Working on a Full House.

I love to be playful, so I'll go ahead, and play along, and pass on the fun while I'm at it.

Thanks Dee!

My seven random facts:

1. I'm a brunette, with long wavy hair who is really good with a curling iron. When I was in high school, my friends literally lined up for me so I would do their hair before dances, and even at prom. Perhaps my calling was to be a hair dresser?!

2. I am most at peace when I paint, or draw. My son calls his mommy an "Artiste."

3. I went to university to be a doctor, when I switched my major to psychology and decided that I would be a counselor, or a psychologist. Now I'm a Mom of 3, and still a student. I'll finish someday - or at least that's what I keep telling myself. I believe you're never, ever too old to learn.

4. I used to jog every day until I met my husband, that was over 7 years ago. I am still trying to get back to jogging everyday. The last time I jogged was probably 6 months ago. I'm not an exercising diva, that is for sure, but I'm planning to invest on a jogger stroller, and take up walking.

5. My favorite thing to eat is chocolate - but only certain kinds. I have a weakness for it, so I don't keep much of it in the house. I'm a picky junk food eater. You'll never see me eat candy, ever unless it's a certain kind of chocolate. Not even pop.

6. My dream is to write, and illustrate children's books. I've written a hundred of them probably, and still don't have the nerve to get one published. I want to illustrate all of them, and that takes a long time, especially when you're a perfectionist.

7. My husband, and I built the house that we live in, and another a while ago. He can build anything. But you know what they say when you live with a carpenter? Nothing ever gets finished. I am on a mission to get things done. I don't like things that are left undone, they grate on my nerves. So we're a good pair.

Well, I'm tired of hearing myself, now I will play along, and run out into the blogging world, to tag....

and

Tag! You're it!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Caution If You Dare Do It In Public

In Dubai, a popular tourist destination for Britains, a couple have been charged, and sentenced to 3 months in jail for having sex on a public beach according to Yahoo news.

I read the article however, and to my surprise, they were in fact not charged for having sex, but for kissing, etc (which is deemed an indecent act in public in Dubai.)

Dubai is a Muslim region, and according to their laws, it is illegal to perform "indecent acts" such as making out in public. The act of sex out of wedlock is against their laws entirely - in, and out of public.

Whether or not the couple actually had sex is inconclusive.

Reportedly, one of them admitted to having sex on the beach, but then later changed their story. The couple had been drinking heavily apparently.

If this couple had been charged for sex out of wedlock the sentence could have been up to 1 year in prison, plus 3 months for the indecent act.

Their sentence was thought to be light, and there is a chance that both parties in this legal matter may appeal.

What a way to pop your holiday bubble!

One of the first trips that my husband, and I made together was to an exotic place where we did make love on a beach. It was 5 o'clock in the morning, the sun was rising, and no one could be found.

It was just the two of us, the sound of the waves crashing in, sand against our skin, and the smell of the ocean.

We had been staying at a resort, nearly all of the people that were there stayed up extremely late to drink, and party each night.

So, the resort was close to vacant in the early mornings.

The thought had never, in a million years crossed my husband's, or my mind that we might get arrested, or thrown in jail for our little act of love. Now knowing what this couple went through (not that I have sex on public beaches often - I barely make it out of my pajamas, let alone my house now that I'm a Mom of 3), but I am inclined to in future proceed with extreme caution when visiting other countries.

If you're going any where with your partner, it is well advised to look into some of their countries laws, and regulations before you have sex in public, do anything that might be deemed "indecent," or do anything at all - because you never know.

Mama of Romance

Sex Talk for Grown-Ups

How often do you have to have sex in order to be happy in a relationship?

This is a question that leads to an answer that neither my husband, nor I have ever, and may not ever be able to agree upon.

So how important is it that a husband and wife (or partners) be sexually compatible with each other when it comes to the frequency that they have sex?

I don't know. But, I wish I did.

It seems that since the beginning of our marriage - our relationship even, we have never been able to reach a consensus.

I say 5 times a week, and I'm more than happy.

He says once every morning, and once every night - so, 14 times a week, and then he would be happy. But I don't know about that.

It seems that the more he has sex, the more he expects, and the more he wants.



I feel as though I can only do sooo much.

This "Sex Talk" that my husband, and I have had time, and time again has always taken place because sex is something that we disagree on, we argue about, and it's a thorn in our big fat toe called marriage.

Actually, lack of sex in my husband's opinion is what causes the majority of the tension between us. While he says that he is happy, don't ask him if he's happy after a sexless night - he might bite, or rather explode. (This picture would be more appropriate if it read "Beware, Horny Monster.")

He is the most intolerable, cranky, awful person to be around if he hasn't had sex.

Like a Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. Dr. Love, and Mr. OneEyedMonster.

Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever both be "Happy" in the sex department of our relationship.

The other day, I asked.

I asked what exactly it would take for him to be happy.

Do you know what he said?

"I would be happy if I had sex once in the.....morning, and once at....night.....every day."

Well, what am I supposed to do, lock the kids in their rooms, turn up the radio, and say "yes" to a morning romp?

Am I supposed to sleep all day, while the children trample over my head , toys fly, things break, and poop happens so that I can be awake enough at the end of the day in order to want to have sex?

5 times, 7 times if it's a good week - that's what I feel is realistic.

My husband however, it's like he's on another planet. A planet called Wannabeasinglemanagain.

It hurts my feelings, makes me feel awful inside that I cannot ever satisfy him. That nothing is ever good enough, I'm not good enough.

I told him exactly how it made me feel. Tried to put him in my shoes, asked him how he would feel if I never thought he was good enough, and I reminded him of it each and every day.

He felt badly.

I hope that this sexual imbalance is more caused by our stage in life (3 kids, under 4 years-old, 2 in diapers, 1 still crawling, often waking Mom up in the night) , and not by who we are as individuals. I hope we will outgrow this.

Our Sex Talk went rather well. But, I know it's something that just like how we should give our teens a refresher Sex Talk every now, and again, that we will be revisiting this subject often.

It's the only way that I know of that can allow us to continue to understand each other's needs, feelings, and expectations.

For now, hubbie better learn to love himself a little more, ehhhum. At least until our kids are in school. Otherwise, I'm not sure that our family can tolerate the grumpiness.

Please tell me there's hope for 2 people who love each other to be happy even if their panties are on just a little differently. No my husband does not wear panties. How ever could you presume as much!....neither do I, teeheee. (Too much info, I know.)

That picture, too much info as well - cracks me up, every time!
