OK folks here is the dealioso. I first of all well to put it plainly lived a pretty sheltered non living existence for 12 years with the Frog Prince so to say the least EVERYTHING IS NEW!!!
This is going to be the first Halloween that I have ever dressed up!!!! Oh ya and guess what I get to throw a bangin birthday/costume party for Joe!! I am everly so excited!
You see this is the first year were I am able to actually participate in the whole Halloween thing, and in true demented by Martha Stewart form I am doing it up!!! Now don't get me wrong I have always worked hard to make sure my babies got to get candy and dress up, and tho last year was a hard one for us the kids did have fun. But this year we are blessed with having a wonderful man in our lives that is full on into making it all about the babies, and having a good time.
Plus his birthday is Halloween! So of course with the new found freedom, as well as the support of Joe I have decided to dress up, and throw that man a party too! He doesn't know it but we are going to have a costume birthday party that quite frankly will be amazing!
I have made him a graveyard birthday cake adorned with head stones and a candy corn fence and can't wait to see his face when he see's me in my wait for it..... Cop Costume!!!!! Ya I am dressing up as a cop cuffs' and all! But you all know me I had to accessorize it with my sweet blue heels that I found with miss Alison in Cali!
So to say the least after a night of making caramel corn, meat ball hordevors, and the birthday cake I am fit to be tied for it to hit 7!!!! We are going to have my bff's sweet apple pie drink, beer, beer, oh and did I mention beer? And because my lil sis rock's she and her lover are taking the kiddos trick o' treating! Basically the sun is shining, I am having an amazing hair day and tonight is going to rock!
Happy Halloween to my Peeps!

I can't believe she said that!!!!
Now there are many things that even as an adult I have to sit back and wonder sometimes "Did I say that out loud??" Many people who know and love me will tell you that I am a talker. (Guilty) Others will tell you that there are those moments in a conversation with me that they sit there and go "Where in the world did she come up with that!" You see part of my fly by the seat of my pants attitude is that I am extremely honest, often say it as I see it and well that's just me.
I often have come up with my own phrases for different situations, people, etc. Some well are a little colorful, and others are due to the fact that I can't cuss in front of little ears, which lets be honest with four Lil ones that is all the time! So I have come up with phrases such as "Mother Trucker", "He is such an Aerosol", well you get the jest. Plus as a mother that I am positive that I have entered into the Twilight Zone and I am positive my children are being taken over by aliens! So when faced with these moments I have come to say things like "You are three keystrokes from being put on Craig's List!" or "When I find the man that is dealing you pixie sticks he is so going down!" You see the key to parenting as a single is HUMOR! Without humor or sarcasm I truly don't think me or my children would survive.
So if you are ever in the presence of me with my four orbiting planets and think that you are in shock or questioning whether or not I just told my daughter that her acting out with a tantrum is "Jacked up like polio" You are not mis hearing anything you are simply hearing me take my situation and laugh it off.
Because without humor we would never laugh, and without sarcasm we would all be far to literal for our own good!

National Single Girls Holiday
So it is coming up the holiday that Hallmark has created! Yup Valentines! Oh what a day when you are in love and sooooooooo happy in your little world of happy endings and candle light. But when it is just you one has a complete different view. You see this is the day that those that are alone get to see it right in their face that they are lonely in love.
I mean really what is so great about being alone on this day? Its not like you can tell your girlfriend's that are gushing about the roses, candy, and lil somethings that their men have done for them that you got to spend the night crying at Sleepless in Seattle, while drowning your sorrow's with cheap wine, and Chinese! Its bad enough that the entire week to V day (AKA D day) with everyone and their brother trying to fix you up with someone so your not the Lone Ranger!
Now in my past with the super awesome Frog Prince I was often just dreading the lack of interest or even acknowledgement of this day. But this year it shall be me and my lil monkeys. So do I just sit and wish? Or do I make the move to try to salvage this holiday by making it something for myself?
As a mother of four the prospects of flowers and candy are limited to the ones my lil babies draw me, and the candy I swipe from their loot bags! Don't judge me! Those lil kidlins make out pretty good on this holiday! The least they can do is throw mama a kit kat.
Plus I don't think sitting and wallowing in self pity helps a thing! I mean granted it is the holiday of romance and love, but what if you are not in love or being loved? What kind of card could I get myself? I mean Hallmark doesn't make the "Sorry you're a loser and have nobody" with a cute heart and a lonely woman! Plus buying yourself a card is probably a little bit more on the lame note anyway!
Or should I just wear a shirt that says "SINGLE". Oh ya the attention that I would get from that would surely send me head first into suicide watch!
So to the other singles I hope you dine out with your babies, eat candy, and count those sweet sentimental blessings that you are looking at on this holiday. Remember the good times and laugh at the ridiculous!

What in the World is Wrong with these Women!!
Ok today I was amazed to hear that once again another woman is in the news for the involvement with her boyfriends drug dealings. Now she was trying to say that she had no idea that he was doing this, but what I love is the fact that she herself was stealing the prescription meds from work that he was dealing!
To make matters even better she had one of her amazing friends call and yell at a radio dj about his commentary on this event! Stating that she just didn't know what was going on!
Now all of you that know me know this is something that just was a topic that I so had to call in on. So being the girl I am I called and commented on the sheer idiocy of this woman. First you can't tell me she didn't know what was going on when she was the distributor of the product! I mean come on girls we need to look at these woman that are not acting like woman and take a stand!
How many times must the independent and strong women listen to another tale of how another one of us fell victim to a man? Just once I would like a girl say "Yep, I was stupid, he was a great kisser and I gave into the idea" Hell at least then we would be able to say , Oh I so have been there!
As a mother of three girls I often want to install attributes in their core that creates a woman who is independent, smart, and logical! Why is it some of us strive to survive, and others strive to find someone to live through?
So to all you girls that have fallen pray to these so called diabolical men, remember it takes you saying yes for you to get into trouble!

Chinese Take Out = Quality Bonding
As a child there really was very little time spent with my mother, so as a mommy of four I have made this a Huge Priority. Even as a single mommy, I still make sure that there is a little time each day so that I can catch up with each of the lil monkey's.
But one of my absolute favorite times of the day is when we all eat dinner together. Call me crazy but I love the conversation, laughing, and bonding that we are all able to do with each other over dinner. Tonight due to a long week we took a vote and decided on Chinese Takeout/Movie Night. This was a great idea and we loved it! Between the laughing over the lil man inhaled his sweet and sour pork, and the 411 on why Rori is positive that Santa will be bringing her a Barbie, I was able to catch up with my lil Boo. She informed me that she loves Soy Sauce, still wants the Lil dipper for Christmas, and how she just love love loves Chinese food!
And you know I am sooooo with that girl! She knows what she likes, wants, and loves, and that is often more than most adults know about themselves! I mean it wasn't til just recently I was able too really grasp onto what I want, like, and love!
Its really just another incident of when the my children are often teaching me not the other way around!
