It's a new year!
I told myself that I have NO said resolutions this year, afterall I ALWAYS break them!
So, instead of resolutions I am instead making hopes and dreams. Sounds lots nicer doesn't it?!? These hopes and dreams are a HUGE array of things, but one of them starts right here and at my "professional" blog job!!!
When I always thought about being a 'writer', first thing that came to my head is "I will NEVER ever be able to write a book!!! EVER!!" but I have come to the realization that I DON'T HAVE TO WRITE A BOOK! I can blog!!! I can work that until I make something of it!! I never know what could fall into my hands if I take this seriously!! My "professional" blog is an opportunity! One that I would have never dreamed of getting in the first place! Yet, I took a chance, sent an email, got a response-not so good either, sent another e-mail, no response, sent another one and wallah response! I don't know if they were sick of hearing me or realized that I was SERIOUS about this and they decided to give me a chance. What is it hurting them, it is purely volunteer. But that is okay. As a writer friend told me, you would be stupid not to accept it!!! She also told me that I should be proud of this gig! And people, she knows what she's talking about!!!
With that being said, I am hoping that good things are going to be coming my bloggy way. I am dreaming of a time when I have more than 15 followers on here and 38 on my Facebook page!!! GO HERE TO 'LIKE' ME!!!
To those of you who are loyal, I thank you! To those of you that are new...THANKS BUNCHES and tell a friend-it's easy, just share my link on your Facebook page!!!
Here's to the start of something good. I hope. I dream.

Decorate much?!? Organize much?! HELP!!!!!
I need YOUR help!!!! I am really going to hit this writing "job" strong this year. But. I need a comfortable inspiring area to write. At this homestead that is easier said then done. My "office area" is a corner in our hallway. Until Boy #1 moves out that is all it will be. No, I'm not pushing him, just daydreaming about all that space that can soooon be mine! =)
So, if y'all have any ideas on pictures, sayings, organizing tips, pretty post its to put on my wall for all the "ideas" that I tend to have while writing other stuff. Attention Defecit?! Naw.
Bring it people!!!!
Ohhhhh and ignore my 1986 desktop computer!!! Hoping to take care of that problem soon! NO speakers. NO webcam! This blows! When I do get a webcam, I am thinking of doing a Vlog a month!!! Ohhhh sooo then I need some decorating/signs/saying tips for the little wall behind me too!!!!!
Okay. Go!

It makes me sad and freaks me out all at the same time.
To each his own...
Any thoughts?!

~Two-Shoes AND High Horses~
Okay, it is Christmas time and yet I am not writing about Christmas. I want to. But, as we all know I like to write about ridiculous things that seem to ponder
on my brain for weeks at a time, they ponder there until I bore my loving Big Daddy to death with them-mainly because I tell whoever I think would be the
"good" listener at the time and that unevitably means he gets to hear the story no less than 8 times. Go figure.
This will be a rant. But it will be MY rant, which means if you read this thing that I call a blog, it now becomes my rant to you. YAY!
I am so completely disgusted with people. Not everyone. But certain people.
Good effing two shoes to be exact. I am so disgusted with these damn women that think they are so much better than other women. Either they are
prettier, they drive a better car, they have a better coat, better jeans, they have more kids, less kids, a nicer home, a bigger home, clean carpet, cleaner
carpet, better hair, better friends, better job, no job..do you get my damn drift??!! Do these bitches have ANY idea that we are alllllll different?? That even
the ones that they are "nice" to are NOT the exact same as them! Yeah they are close, but totally NOT the exact. I hate the little bullshit pitiful little looks
that these so called women give. I hate the not pitiful looks they give EVEN MORE. Ya know, the don'tmakeeyecontactbecausewhatcouldIpossiblyhaveincommonwiththisone bullshit. Well, just let me tell you what we have in common.
1. We are both mom's.
2. We are both women.
3. We are both pulling for the same "team"
4. I have a home, hair, vehicle, coat, jeans, kids, carpet, friends *GASP* shocking I know!!, a job (call it what you will), and heaven freakin forbid..someone
out there thinks I am PRETTY!!!
5. We both love our kids. Our life. Our family.
6. We both sleep.
7. We both do laundry.
8. We both clean our houses.
9. We both go #1, #2 and yes #3.
10. We both like some of the SAME people!
11. We both tuck our kids in to bed.
12. We both like money, it is just what some of us tend to spend most of it on is where we differ.
13. We both can feel low at times, certain times of certain months.
14. We both have mom's.
15. We both have dad's.
And finally...
16. We both feel that we are doing OUR best for our family.
Next time you are in the same situation whether it be a meeting, a school function, a mom something or other, the grocery store, the SAME day care where
you pick your kids up, the doctors office, damnit just anywhere. Remember YOU are NOT better than me. You do NOT know me. Until you KNOW me, I
will NOT let you judge me just because it makes you feel all high and mighty.
Oh yeah, I was going to say that I am sure there are some things that you ARE better than me at. But guess what goody-two-shoes...there are just as many
things I am better than you at. THAT does not mean any of us are better. It just means we are individuals. We are NOT the same. We are different. And to
me...different does NOT mean better. NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT!!
So, get off your damn high horses before someone -namely me and whoever I bring to my side- knocks you clean the eff off of it that it will take you weeks,
and weeks to get back on the damn thing!!!!! IF EVER....

Tonin' It Down....really. I am a flippin' adult people.
Hi.
My name is Stephanie.
This is my blog. I suck. Deal. With. It.
I have come to a conclusion. The reason I have not written is because my blog is 'too busy'. Plus I have NO computer to call my own. It is screwed up. Says some weird thing about files are lost or not available or whatever.
Whatever.
If anyone absolutely loooooves to work on computers and figure out dumb crap, let me know. If you can fix it that would be great. But, if you can get allllll my information off of it that would be mind blowing. Please. Thank You.
I am going to work on my blog. Tone it down. It's crazy. It's like I was drunk when I "created" it! I need simple. Easy. Not flashy. Just calm...ya know like me ;)
P.S. Watching QVC. It's driving me nuts. This host Dan is so non-TV worthy. He sucks. Anyone that is selling on television ALLL the time and he can't stop looking at himself in the monitor needs to be brought down a couple a notches, and I got the channel changin' fingers that can do it! Idiot.

Just a thought....
Just got on the computer and went straight to Yahoo to check my messages and there on the ticker thingy was a picture of LeAnn Rimes. She looked beautiful. Bitch. I have this total love/hate relationship with her. I like her singing. I sometimes like how she looks, she has on and off days like anyone, just because she is all country superstar doesn't mean she won't have those 'some days she looks like crap and some days she looks amazing' days. Plus, she totally reminds me of Big Daddy's ex. *sighss* Bet she would looooove to hear that, I mean really that is like a kick ass compliment. Really it is. Truly! Okay, back to love/hate relationship with Ms. Rimes, or Mrs. Eddie Cibrion...that is a reason I can't stand her. The whole situation of how they "fell in love". Blahhhh Blah Blah. *coughs*homewrecker*coughs* Okay, anyway onto what she even has to do with my blogpost anyway. The reason she was on the ticker thingy-ma-bob was her weight. She is ultimate skinny. Whooooo gives a flying leap?!?! Really?? THIS bull has to be on the Yahoo ticker?!? So the eff what?! She is skinny, she is skinnier than she was a few years ago. She started eating healthy AND working out, is THAT NOT what everyone in the damn medical profession wants us to do??? It would be different if she was 85 lbs. and her teeth and hair were falling out, but she is not. Leave her alone.
She's skinny. Fine.
This whole thing just got me thinking to a few thoughts that I have struggled with in the past. Who EVER made it okay for people to say anything about skinny people??? WhoEVER said it was alright to tell a person they were skinny just because they are?! If any of you are thinking..."Isn't that a good thing?! What the heck is wrong with telling someone they are skinny??" Well, I am going to lay it all out for you.
If you know me, I am skinny. Always have been. Except when I was PG with THEBOY#1 and I had toxemia or when I was PG with THEBOY#2 and they were pumping me full of steroids. Ohhh good times....
I have had people say to me "You are too skinny!" I have had some say "You are sooooo skinny." I have had some say "Do you ever eat?!" Sometimes it doesn't bother me, other times it does. What gives anyone the right to say this to me?? When did it ever become socially acceptable to say that to thinner people. I mean really. Come on people, don't you think I know I'm skinny? Do you really think, hell I'm gonna tell her she's skinny it oughta make her day. Well, it doesn't. It actually makes me feel small, and no not in a "skinnier" way either!
I KNOW none of you would EVER think of going up to a heavier person and saying "You are too fat!" or "You are soooo fat." or "Don't you ever QUIT eating?" I know I would NEVER EVER do that. EVER. So, next time there is a discussion on how to make our kids not worry about what they look like or how not to make them self conscious of their weight. Think of it this way, just because someone is "skinny" doesn't give anyone the right to say something to them about it. Especially when we are trying our damndest to make it all about loving who we are, whether we are fat or skinny or in-between. Remember that the next time you want to comment to a teenage girl how skinny she is, ask yourself would I be saying something to her if she was heavier?!
Why not just change our wording all together. If you think someone looks nice or beautiful, whether they are skinny or heavier, say "You look soooo pretty today!" Or "That dress is really perfect for you!" Or "I love that shirt on you, it's like it was made for you!" THAT is how you make someone feel good about the way they look. It has nothing to do with our size. It has EVERYTHING to do with us. Our individual whole selves! =)

*GASP*
*GASP* AGAIN!!
I have not written on here in more than a month!! TSK...TSK...
My family (Big Daddy, THE GIRL and BOY#1) are still sleeping so I can't type fast and furious like I want too. Which need I tell you is really HARRRD to do?!?
So, I'm just gonna leave it at that. I haven't written for a LOOONNNGG time. I am hoping to get something down on the drive to THE GIRLS band competition today...the first one of the year!! I have to go get things packed/ready and the house cleaned. Dontcha just hate coming home after a whole day away from home to a dirty house?!? I do. It depresses me. A-LOT!
I'm feelin' good about life and about who I am and who I strive to be. Makes me smile from the inside out...ohhh so grateful!
I came across this verse today. It gave me a great amount of comfort in the path I chose, mommyhood~
Isaiah 40:11
"He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young."
