Tuesday Truths

Hello friends. Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope your day is going well! I am back with another edition of Tuesday Truths...hope you enjoy. 

:: I slept in wayyy to late today. I feel asleep kinda early ( at least for me ) and I guess I just needed the rest after so much traveling. I kinda planned for a couple of slower days anyway. 

:: My sisters dad was robbed at gunpoint the other day in Tampa Florida when he was changing a flat tire. I don't understand why we can't get better control of the guns in this country. I would go door to door to get them if I could. He's ok, however it really shook up my sister. 

:: I love warm weather. However, it has been so hot that I have resorted to having the air on during the day. I have been running to turn it off as soon as the sunsets but it's a little too hot at this point. 

:: I am allergic to bees. When I was younger, I had an epipen but in my 20's I just stopped worrying about it. Years went by and I was fine. No epipen needed. I was out working with Scott one day and got stung and he ended giving me a high high does of Benadryl. It seemed to work. I thought my family was crazy. I didn't need an epipen. Fast forward to the day before we were leaving for vacation and what appeared to be a wasp or something stung me 3 times in my upper thigh. It was insane. It swelled up my leg. REALLY BAD. Benadryl knocks me out so I was only taking it at night. Nothing was working and I kinda regretted not having a epipen in the moment. Fact of the matter is...I am allergic to bees and I need to accept it and be prepared. Making a Dr. apt this week. 

:: I went to try to use my new Erin Condren planner last night and I just couldn't do it. It's just not a fit like the Inkwell Press. It's a beautiful planner but it's just not for me anymore. I have a giveaway going on right now.. and there might just be another in the coming days. Come back and find out how to enter. I could find a use for it...because it is a beautiful planner but I would rather share it with one of you! And BTW... I love the Erin Condren products. I have the jumbo calendar, stickers, and so much. Planners are personal to each of us. 

:: The housesitter did a great job. The house and animals were fine. However, Super Cooper had a sore on face when we left and once I got home and really moved the long hair to check it out... it was worse than what I thought. We spent an hour removing all the hair and now trying to get that area healed up. I might take him to the Vet tomorrow if it doesn't start looking better.

:: The Republican Party is a mess right now. 14 different candidates. Sounds like too many Indians and not enough Chiefs. Imagine the egos in that group.

:: One of our family members marriages is over due to infidelities....you will probably figure out who in good time but it has been absolutely devastating..and their are kids involved. Cheating and Secrets destroy marriages. We are just trying to be as supportive as possible right now. It's taken up a lot of our time, it's broken our hearts, it's caused a huge rift and it has caused so much daily pain. I am at a loss of words. It's hurts me to watch their family implode. Please put them in your prayers. 

:: Google is coming back with the unsend button. YEA!!!!!!!!! Think about the emails you have sent out that you wish you could take back. Well all encompassing Google who is bound to take over the world, is helping us out! :) 

:: While I was gone, there were some nasty nasty comments left on some of my social media. It took me a while to notice it when we got back because I had so many notifications. First off... sorry if you had to read any of that crap. There are crazy out there. When you are online, sometimes they target it for this reason or that. I deleted everything as quick as I could and that's about all I can do. It is just someones misguided attempts to hurt me. I think I actually know who left those comments and just know they are struggling with mental issues. No joke. I actually am considering leaving the online community. I am not sure if I will or not but hate makes me just makes me want to go away. However, I am trying my best to focus on the wonderful friends who have supported me through the years. I love you guys and I appreciate each and everyone of you. I am just going to try to not let it bother me and move on to another day. I don't need negativity in my life. I have a beautiful family, a caring home, and I value that above everything. 

:: My neighbors told me they thought it might be 6 months before they see me again after such a people filled vacation. I think they might be right. It's super nice being home. However, Scott is working like crazy and I miss him. :(

:: My desk is a complete mess. I am happy that I have all vlogs for a few days so I have time to get things done around the house without worrying about recording videos. I need to toss laundry around right now...clean the chalkboard walls...along with the bathrooms. My to do list is never ending. 

:: My Brittany Belle should be here soon. I can't wait to spend some time with her. The kids are shifty in the summer. It's not easy but we make it work. I miss Jackson too.

:: I need to get back into the routine of getting on the treadmill. It's not something I particularly enjoy but I need to. 

I hope you guys have a great afternoon. I'l be back in a bit with a new Day in the Life Vlog! Come back and visit!

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!
