The Zoo Rundown!

So, i thought i would do a lil' rundown of the last couple of days-

*The past week= NO SLEEP for me.. Muffin has been up 3-5 times a week. I couldnt stand it anymore, so this morning in my zombie state ( uh.. hot mom award, with NO make up and sweats on.. HOT i tell you!) i took her to the Dr. Ear infection Numba 4!! that would be 4 since July! Praise Jesus for antibiotics and Motrin!

*Mini me made honor roll for the second grading quarter! Can i get a woot- woot! And again i'll say, Book smarts from her daddy ( he was an honor roller himself- i just squeaked by grade wise!)

* The leak i wrote an INSANELY long post about.. the dry wallers STILL havent fixed it 100%, my poor kids room is STILL over to one side of the room, and tonight, i found YET ANOTHER leak, closer to the door .. SAME pipe it seems.. FOR THE LOVE OF FRIGGIN PETE! .. oh.. and they havent fixed my frige handle either..

Weekend suprise!

I got a little phone call LATE thursday night asking what i was doing on Friday- little did i know, my grandpa was planning a side trip on his yearly winter trek down to Florida!! i was SUPER excited- i see my grandpa once every few years, and was lucky to see him last summer during my sisters graduation. Our time together was very short and sweet, but we have MANY happy memories from it and i cant wait to see him this summer!


* With the great- grandbabies*

*Walking home from the bus stop*

*She totally didnt see him at the bus stop- i had to literally ask who her the man was standing there! This was her face- so precious!*


Grandpa- thank you for going WAY out of your way to travel and suprise us, even if it was only for a day!!! We love you!

Heartfelt Note..

My mini me has a heart of gold!!! The other day she stayed quiet so i could sleep- i had a nasty migraine!! In she tip- toes and writes me a note that reads:

" I HOPE YOU HELL"

As she hands it to me, she says, "Mom, is that how you spell Heal?" Uh, i laughed so hard and then realized she really meant well by this note. I explained to her how to spell heal and will FOREVER save that little note from her. She's so sweet and such a mama bear like me ;) But fo real?! That's hilarious! She may have just used the word Heal as a cover up, one may never know !!

Not what cha expect-

....when you pay over 1000.00 for RENT a month !!

(for a 2 bdrm apt!!)

TWICE now we had a leak coming from the ceiling in the girls bedroom. I called the maintenance guys and they just stared at it and said they would come back thinking it was the fire sprinkler system. Two days later ( of course they are NEVER on the quick side) they brought the sprinkler guys over and they said : :Well, its not the sprinkler system or it would be wet still and its dry. So.. off the 4 idiot men went, thinking once again they would be able to WALK away from a problem and it would fix itself--- RIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHT! ( keep in mind this is right before Thanksgiving!)

Right after Christmas, the infamous drip starts again from the ceiling. NOw, i'm ANGRY! not only is this my babies room, i'm nervous mold will start, and both girls will have health problems.. I call, the maintenace guys, who i call tweedle dee and tweedle DUMB come over and look at it. 4 days go by, still dripping and after promises that the plumbers would come, i call a total of 5 times- FIVE! dude.. seriously, i was ready to pull out some UFC moves and put the smack down on them! Oh.. did i mention this all goes down the DAY luke leaves for Atlanta for the week?! I had mini me sleep with me all week, while EVERYTHING in the girls room was shoved to one side of the room! ya.. that figures too! BY FRIDAY, after 2 broken promises by the management, i am told they would come and repair my ceiling. This is AFTER tweedle dee and dumb cut HUGE holes in my girls bedroom ceiling that were left like that for 4 days. Oh, they put cardboard in them, so it could "DRY " up there. They found a birds nest had made its home in the vent on the opposite side of us and every time the neighbors did their laundry, steam built up and dripped in of course, MY apt! With the holes in the ceiling, i felt like i could straight up Ghetto it and live for HALF of the rent, i mean REALLY!

So.. friday comes around.. the guys Patched it, but they have to come back 2 more times - whatever.. at least its patched. One of the guys that was patching up the holes looked at me shocked and was like, "Those are BOTH your girls?! " he was shocked do i really look too young to have 2 kids?! hey.. he earned SERIOUS brownie points from me!!

OK.. so here's the KICKER of the whole story.. only MY house do things go wrong! Lex was getting into the fridge last night and goes to pull on it.. i SWEAR to you, the ENTIRE handle on the fridge COMES OFF IN HER HAND!!!!!!! i almost wet my pants from laughing.. why do i pay so much in rent when i get cheap cheap CHEAP everything.. i think i need some rent knocked off this month, what do ya all think? oh... and i've asked them to clean the carpet in the girls room from the drip.. how long do you think it will take them to do THAT!? i'm sure it will be done by 2010~!

NYE pics - Better Late than Never!!

uh... ya.. no pics of NYE up- i'm a SLACKER!!

WE went to a party where you dressed up as someone famous- i went as Britney Spears, Quin was the NYE cherub of 2009, Lex was Sharpei from HSM and luke was Chris Daughtry ( American Idol) It was a family friendly party- we danced and had a great ol' time!!

*New Years Resolutions*

I have a Confession- I.AM.A.FOOD.ADDICT!!! I mean... major bad.Some people struggle with Alcohol, shopping, or drugs.. mine is FOOD!! I'm constantly thinking about the next sweet i can put in my mouth.. i want all the bread, all the butter, and all the cheese and sour cream one can tolerate! I had a ROCKIN trainer back in Oregon, for the last 3 years, but here in Ga, forget it.. im not payin that kind of money and NO ONE compares to my Tina- Well, i'll admit, i have been slackin HARD core since i moved here and been enjoying the southern food a little more than i should. They aren't kiddin when they call it comfort food. Ya'll, my food pyramid is FLIPPED upside down. i seem to think that every meal needs to be some kind of sweet, and then maybe i'll eat some more things as a side dish. I was in THE BEST shape i have EVER been when i was 9 mo preggers almost 2 years ago with my 10 lb, 6 3/4 oz child!! WHat is my problem?! I have told myself that i have gotten out of hand!! i think everything has turned into marshmallow! Funny.. as i walked around the grocery store today, i SWEAR to you, i saw 2 endcaps of marshmallow cream and then displays of it on the bakery isle.. UH.. see.. they are talking to me and telling me to TONE UP!
So.. i uploaded some new tunes on my IPOD, (found $40 dollas worth of itunes gift cards from LAST christmas)since the last time they had been changed was all Highschool musical- this time, i went for a little lady Gaga, Britney and some good ol' Lue Bega ( remember HIM back in '99? Mambo Number 5?!) I hit it so hard at the gym tonight, with an hour cardio - i ran/walked on an incline and busted my chops, man.. i feel sorry for the persons behind me that had to see it all move - Think Kim Kardashian, or J-Lo- - I worked it SO hard, twice i almost threw up. THAT's what you call a GOOD workout.. bust it, til you feel like you're gonna burst!
I am doing my best to cut out sweets, and dairy- i will start journaling to really See what i shove into my mouth- could be scary!!! But i am determined to get back on my healthy living kick. I refuse to be a lazy mom, and guys.. i have my best friends wedding to be in MAY, as the Matron Of Honor and dont want to look back on pics and go.. EWWWWWWWWWWWWW! and Hilton Head island is calling my name this summer!!!

What's your Resolution?
