Christmas Eve Thoughts....

Can you believe Christmas Eve is here? I sure can't!!! There seems to be a little more magic in the air right now...a little more happiness...a little more fun with the family over this holiday. I thought I would share a few of my thoughts bouncing around in my head today.... and maybe tomorrow I will update you with some more pictures and such. :)

Sunday Night Thoughts...

Hello friends. It's been a while huh!? It's been a long week of being sick. I thought I would get back on here and say hi.. Here are some of my foggy headed thoughts. Hope you enjoy!

* This cold has totally kicked my butt. For days on end I have laid on the couch or in the bed thinking I was about to die. It's been hard. You don't really get sick days when your a mom. I still have a family to take care of. 

Inside my head...Tuesday Thoughts

Happy Tuesday friends. I thought I would just do a quick check in today because I miss writing. I make a lot of videos now but often times, I don't get to just sit down  and write. And writing is my first passion. So I thought today I would share some of the thoughts bouncing around in my head. Have run reading!

* The first time I was woken up this morning was about 745 am. I guess the boys had left and Romeo didn't like the idea of being in the house alone. So his big ass went up to flights of stairs and sat at the only door closed and meowed over and over and over and over and over. Seriously...he didn't stop until I got up and opened the door. And then he just wanted to play and I just wanted to sleep. If I moved around in any direction, he would totally attack my feet, arms, even hair. But how can I get mad at this boy? BTW...that was on of his fall pictures last year...he's never outside without extreme supervision. He means the world to our entire family but I didn't appreciate his harassment this morning. And to make it even better.....hes totally sound asleep right now.

*  I finally did fall back to sleep even kitty bites on my toes and woke up so abruptly with the loud ass door bell. So I had another bunch of unexpected issues pop up. At that point, I gave up and never went back to bed. Gosh...guess God is trying to tell me to drag my butt out of the bed and enjoy the beautiful day.

* Yesterday I stopped my weekly cleaning on the 2nd floor. That means today I have to work on the first floor. Yippe.

* For some reason I have been making the coffee super strong, so Scott says. I was trying to stick to budget and bought Folgers this last time. I think its just a stronger coffee Gevalia. But he's right...its so strong it could probably walk itself right out the front door.

* My sons math homework has finally reached the point where I can no longer help him. I have never been good with numbers but his 6th math homework drives me crazy. Thank God for Scott being able to help with that subject otherwise we'd be in trouble.

* My sister in law Trina has her daughter in the hospital sick and taking care of her 3 month old baby boy. They kept her daughter overnight and it is sure worrying me.

* Oscar Pistorius was convicted today and is to serve 5 years for shooting his girlfriend. I actually agree with that sentence...Here's what I think happened. It was reported that he was texting his ex girlfriend that night. New girl friend realizes it...flips out...goes and locks herself in the bathroom and he tries to get in to talk to her and can't. So he grabs his gun to try to shoot the door open. I don't think he meant to kill her but it happened. Its sad all the way around. See...that's how fast a fight can turn deadly.

* I am thinking about switching over to wordpress. Still not sure though. Decisions Decisions. For the most part Google has been really good to me so idk. Maybe I should stay right here. Do you have any thoughts on the subject ?

* I realized a little while ago that the clothes I laid out for Jackson to wear today were in my room...I simply forgot to put them out. No telling what he is wearing today.

* The clock is ticking today and so far, I have made a few phone calls, replied to some emails and refilled my coffee. Yea.. its a good thing husby works late. We still have at least 6.5 hours before he gets home. I'm just thankful that they are selling more cars at this dealership even though I love Volkswagen. And FYI....there is no way in hell I am coming out of my bug and going into a Dodge. Yep.. not happening! I do miss him though. Its really long days and he comes home exhausted.

* I think I am going to try to have some professional stickers made for my Erin Condren planner. A few shops on Etsy that I am hoping can help design them for me!

* I have totally been loving Madam Secretary. It comes out I have been loving Téa Leoni in a serious part..It comes on Sunday's at 8:30 on CBS. Check it out! 

* I have got a ton of paperwork and bills to go through.  A job I am seriously dreading. Did you see all the mail I showed you in my most recent vlog? Ha....time to break out the shredder and get busy. 

* I was asked to be interviewed by a student at New York University about my haul videos via skype. How fun is that!? I think we are doing it tomorrow.....so maybe I can record it and show you guys.

* I haven't been feeling that good here lately. Sneezing, throat and earache but no fever. I guess its just the change of the weather but it sucks.

* I really need to get busy getting my makeup brushes cleaned TODAY. Yea.. that is totally happening today.

* Erin Condren blew out my facebook fan page. They posted this video on their facebook fan page and now I have a bunch of new friends! How amazing is that. If you are new here....welcome! I hope you stay around for a while and get to know us.

* I hate not being able to find freebies. I have been searching high and low but its been slim pickings. I do have a new free magazine deal that I will get posted in just a bit. Hopefully they pick back up in the winter. Don't ask me why...but they always slow down in the summer months.

* I have someone who harrasses me, steals my pictures and content and have already stolen my header and a few other things to promote their hate Kisha blog. It's ridiculous and I am trying to just roll with it but I wish I could throw their ass in jail. But positive thoughts...There is no such thing as bad publicity is what I keep telling myself but to be completely honest, its total bullshit. I know they are broken and I am trying to forgive but they are sure making it harder.

* I think I am going to see if I can get any of the cats to walk on the treadmill! Yep. Lets see if I can make it happen. Training the dog was easy.....which I plan on filming a video showing you how to do it, but I want to see how the cats will handle it. Should be interesting. :)

* You guys are so awesome. I love that you use the form on my contact me page to send me emails. Know that I read them pretty much the second they come in unless I am driving. I try to respond back on the weekend so don't think I have forgot about you. You guys inspire and life me up so much.

* I am seriously loving my nails right now. They are long, strong, and natural! I do have a acrylic overlay over my natural nails too keep them from breaking but I am totally happy with how they are growing. I found a great lady who does such a good job on my nails.  I sometimes paint them myself but I am not so good at it but I like a more natural nail. I would feel like a freak with bright colors on my nails being they are long unless its neutral and natural looking. I don't like to stand out because of my nails. So right now... I am super happy with how they are growing and staying strong.

* I have a fresh flower review coming up. I am excited to share with you some beautiful flowers that you can get a discount with if you want to order some for yourself or someone else. I love fresh flowers in the house.

* I am getting super tired of all the political commercials. I wish they would at least label each political ad with the party they stand with. Yea.. I want to know. I would sooner put my dog in the white house before I put some old timer Republican in. It's just how I feel. I am really really really hoping Hillary Clinton is our next President.

* Jackson has been having a few issues on the school bus. I called the school Monday and they said they would look into it. But suggested I pick him up if he was being picked on. WTF? Yea.. not So far they have done nothing. I'm afraid between ex husband and Scott one of them are going to get on that bus and end up on CNN. My ex husband said send him to school with pepper spray and if he needs it, he has it. Ugh...I'm pretty sure Jackson would be tossed out of school for the year if he did that. It's hard when schools just fall short on helping their students. They did send a really sweet card home the other day but I think the bus issue needs to be addressed to. Call me crazy, but I think they should deal with the bullies and not make me come pick up my son. That just sounds lazy to me. Hopefully today will be better for him.

* Thank goodness what I need to do today is quick because I am kinda running behind. But I'll be caught up before Scott walks in the door. I also have another blog post and video that should be up later this evening. Stay tuned.

I hope you have a great day.. time to get busy. ♥ Feel free to let me know how your day is going....I would love to know!

Just Thinkin'

I just thought I would take a few minutes to sit down and actually write a blog post...not just post a video. :) Hope you enjoy being inside my head for a few minutes! Can you handle it!? 

It's been a long day of computer work and I didn't even get one comment or emailed answered. I could seriously spend a week from 8-8 for a week just doing desk and computer work and still not be caught up. It's insane. I'm not sure it will ever end. 

I think we should blow the shit out of Isis for what they did to James Foley along with all their other acts of terrorism. I also saw a post of them holding a sign up in front of the White House. Did you hear me? They were seriously showing us they are here. Maybe its time to totally close all our borders and start kicking people out. I know it sounds drastic but damn.. do you want them blowing your family up? 

My husband is seriously Mr. Social Coordinator. He's been arranging double dates for us and to be honest, it doesn't sound like a bunch of fun to me going out with people I don't know. But I need to give it a try to make him happy. 

Cooper is starting to feel better. We had him on 2 seizure meds which just kicked his butt and made it hard for him to even raise his head let alone walk up 2 flights of stairs. Tonight we just gave him one pill... so far so good. I am so nervous about him aging. I know he's a dog and I love cats, but he's a part of our family and I am worried about him. We all are. 

My daughter is light years ahead of the boys and she is only one year older. I know I am not suppose to compare them but its hard not to. Brittany and Jackson both are the best parts of me and I am so thankful they picked me to be their parents. But the boys need to catch up! 

Its kinda sad but we are serious tv people around here. We have every movie channel...buy on demand movies all the time....have Netflix and Hulu and we use redbox from time to time. We have got to get it under control a little better. Everyone likes something different. I like on demand. Scott likes Hulu and Jackson adores netflix. We are seriously a divided family. 

The Kabbalah Center is sending me a new package with more red string along with a few other items.  God knows I need it and maybe it only has power because I believe it does. Idk...I do plan on doing a video about it and will talk more about it in the near future but I truly feels like it helps in every aspect of my life. Thank you Kabbalah Center! 

Michael Brown's death has been all over the news. I am so tired of our kids dying. No weapons and six shots. Are you kidding me? I say lock his ass up and throw away the key. The key words are Not Armed. Its total bullshit. I don't care if he stole a million dollars...a non armed child citizen should not be shot in the streets of America by a cop. Its ridiculous. 

One of my friends sons wanted to blow out of going to college. She was super upset. What do you do when your teenager wants to take a year or two off? You threaten the shit out of them and that's exactly what she did. He has to enroll tomorrow or move out in 2 weeks. I have a feeling he will stay in college than leave moms house. Sometimes you have to take a stand. 

The new excitement of the new school year has wore off and we are only in day 3. Jackson is already tired of homework and tired of being there. Its going to be him next refusing college and guess what!? I will put his ass out too! :) I hope he has a great year regardless if he likes being there or not. 

I seriously need to go to the grocery store. I have put it off since coming home on vacation and just been trying to use up what we have around here instead of going. The boys hate it and I probably should go tomorrow. They think its abuse to not have all their favorite snacks! We'll see if I make it. 

I really wish my husband wasn't a Republican. Do you know that I registered him as a Independent last year? We could make such a difference if we were on the same side. I am not bipartisan and I am very political. It runs in my blood and I just wish I could get him to just come over to the other side. I will  never give up trying. Never. 

I miss The View. I normally eat breakfast watching while working on the computer. But its off till Sept 15. The new co hosts should be interesting. I personally would love to see CNN's Anchor Don Lemon would join up! I love watching him....maybe he guest co hosts sometime. See here I am making plans for The View like I am somebody! Ha! 

The cats are on a new diet and they hate it. I mean hate it. I like a little hungry cat gang running around the house and they are mean as hell. Walk away from a plate of food and they pounce on it like they are in the wild. The females are the worst. 

My phone has been acting kinda crazy since I dropped it on vacation. You have about a 50% chance of getting through right now so you might want to just email instead! I am hoping it will eventually dry out on its own. Its also cracked. Time to upgrade. 

My purse probably has a pound of sand in it from vacation....probably some shells too. Gotta get that mess cleaned up very soon. I hate it because I can't find anything yet I haven't cleaned it out. It needs to happen soon. 

My husband is upstairs beating on a tv right now. That's not a good sign. 

I ordered something off etsy and it hasn't arrived and its been weeks. I contacted the seller and she said wait a couple of days and if it doesn't come in, she will send another. Its the first time anything like this has happened from that site. I just hope she is telling me the truth and sent it. 

It feels like summer is over. It rained a lot today and felt like fall. School is back in session and the weather is changing. I kinda new inside that we would have a short summer and loner winter. I just knew it. I love fall though so I am just going to try to be positive about it!

I can't believe Jackson talked Scott into taking him to school everyday. It's almost 20 minutes one way. Yea.. I was just not happy about it and was going to put his butt on the bus. However, he managed to talk Scott into it! I still have to help on Wednesdays but I know Jackson is grateful he doesn't have to be up at 5:30 for a 6:15 bus. 

Guess what I found out today. Another set of Russians moved into the neighborhood. Young family...probably spies. No joke. I swear the Russians next door to me are spies. And you know they have a lot of women and just one man over there. What's up with that? Guess he's a happy man. 

I went to my nail salon on Monday when they were suppose to be open and they were closed. Sorry about their luck but I found another place where a very nice woman hooked me up....and its closer to the house. I have moved nail salons! 

Tomorrow I need to try to do more computer and desk work done. I also hope to get in a trip to the grocery store and record a haul. Plus I have a few loads of laundry that I got to get done. I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday. I will be back around tomorrow with another travel vlog and my Thankful Thursday Post! Stay tuned. 

DREAMING OF PARIS..

I DREAMED OF PARIS LAST NIGHT. MY MOM GOT ME THIS EIFFEL TOWER A FEW YRS BACK ON ONE OF HER VISITS. I LOVE IT.

ANYWAY, I DREAMED OF PARIS.. I AM AFRAID IF I GO, I WILL NEVER COME BACK.. NOW I GUESS YOU GUYS KNOW WHY I AM LEARNING FRENCH! AFTER I FEEL FAIRLY COMFORTABLE WITH FRENCH, I PLAN ON MOVING ON TO ITALIAN. I NEED TO BE ABLE SPEAK BOTH..I WANT TO GO SOOOOOO BADLY TO EUROPE...THAT IS WHERE A LOT OF MY HISTORY AND FAMILY ARE FROM. THERE IS SO MUCH I WANT TO GO SEE. I DON'T WANT JUST A COUPLE WEEK TRIP EITHER..I WANT AN ENTIRE SUMMER..OR LONGER..

BUT SINCE I CANT GO RIGHT NOW FOR MANY DIFFERENT REASONS, I CAN AT LEAST DREAM A LITTLE DREAM. I THINK OUR DREAMS ARE SUCH POWERFUL TOOLS WE HAVE IN THIS LIFE. I THINK THEY CAN TAKE US ANYWHERE...I HAVE SEEN LOVED ONES THAT HAVE PASSED OVER THAT I MISS SO MUCH I CANT BREATH SOMETIMES; IN MY DREAMS, AND I HAVE TRAVELED TO FAR AWAYS PLACES THAT I WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED..  IN SO MANY WAYS DREAMS HAVE BEEN A BIG PART OF MY LIFE. WHEN I LAY MY HEAD DOWN ON MY PILLOWS, I NEVER KNOW WHERE I AM GOING OR WHERE I WILL END UP. ITS AMAZING.

I MIGHT SOUND CRAZY, BUT THINK ABOUT SOME OF YOUR DREAMS..WHERE HAVE YOU WENT?? NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT REASON IN OUR LIVES. NOTHING. THERE IS A PURPOSE AND REASON FOR EVERYTHING. I CANT WAIT FOR TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT THING I WILL DREAM ABOUT WILL BE.. I SURE WOULDN'T MIND ANOTHER TRIP TO PARIS!

IT WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL. I REALLY ONLY REMEMBER SOME OF THE DREAM, BUT IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DREAMS I EVER HAD EVER DREAMED OF.

Rêver à un beau rêve.

(translation from English to French...Dreaming a beautiful dream..)

TIME TO TEE OFF

 
Well this is all baby today...Wednesdays are now his new day off and it is usually always spent on the golf course. I like golf but not good enough to get myself out of my warm bed at dawn to go out and play. There are a lot of times I go with him in the afternoon, but I suck!!! Really...

For anyone who dosent know, golf courses really are some of the most beautiful places on this planet..Yes, I say planet because they are just as pretty in other countries as they are here.

The courses and grounds are usually always maintained to the highest regard. Some of the most beautiful

photos I have ever taken have been while I have been with Scott on those cold mornings!

So, I hope baby is playing well today. I know it might sound bad...but...if he is playing bad I am usually pointing it out! All in good fun though!

 Hopefully he will come home for the rest of his day instead of going back to work. I can almost bet he will have to rest for a little while.

Hope you find something you are passionate about, and let it be the day !
