feeling good finally

Dear Feeling good feeling....

Don't go away I love you... I did so much today, mentally not physically... I got my self out of my rut.. I was feeling sorry for myself, uh surprise that never happens to anybody. But I was feeling sorry for myself because I don't do anything. I don't have a craft or skill that I can earn extra money with.... I don't have a Esty shop that I can sell my sundries..... I don't have a degree in anything or work... So combine all that I feel pretty crappy about my ability to do anything..... I am just funny and can write a blog that makes 2 cents a day... how ironic that my two cents makes me 2 cents... anyways....

Education.... I found this place called Western Governors University... Its mostly on line and I would have to go take test around the Salt Lake Area... And its not to bad cost wise, around $2800 every six months. And I could get a degree teaching the elementary school kids how to farm on facebook and manage a blog.. hahaha NO but I could get a teaching degree.. AWESOME. I would love to do that. This place was even on the NBC nightly news... So why am I so hesitant to fork them over all my husband's hard earned money. HE EVEN SAID I COULD DO IT...... I don't know I just have reservations I am going to think about it. It could be the few negative reviews about the school work and accreditation. Who knows, I haven't even answered the phone when the school called me twice. But to be honest they did call when I was doing things and I wouldn't have not answered the phone anyways... So bloggy readers any thoughts on this school... I know you all want me to get a degree but I want it from a respectable institution.

My Skillz to pay my billz..... I thought of doing something well someone told me I should do this. I even ordered the supplies. Talked to some people about helping me achieve my business dreams. And sorta came up with a list of things to do... So maybe someday will you see my own little shop selling crap to people. One can only hope. I will probably blog about it later.

So that is what I did to feel better. By thinking of things to do that could better myself and family. Go me. I would love your thoughts and input. Thank you to all my lovely friends for your kind words and support I really cherish all of you.

Must go Monday!

UGH I don't think I do enough ranting in my life...... Since I do a Thankful Thursday I decided it was only fair to do "A list of things that must go Monday"!!!!! Oh you know you are sooooo there! Here is my list

1. Not winning contest for awesome free things.... I NEVER WIN... it sucks

2. Poopie diapers.... I am so over it... In fact I am pretty much done with changing diapers.... Are we ready for potty training yet? Nope.

3. Car Maintenance ... I am so tired of this and that with the car.... oil changes... car washing... every-time I turn around something needs to be done on the car... Since I am the primary care giver to it.... I am responsible not my husband.... Why would he care its not like he drives it...........................

4. Entertaining my child.... What the crap... you have a 42 inch TV a shit load of toys that I step on .... Why aren't you happy? Also we read like 50 Million books a day, play outside with the neighbors for 2 hours almost every day. Why do you have to bother me when I am blogging....

5. Not having 25 comments per post.... I have the google analytics I see how many people come here.....

6. Not being able to give son a PB & J for lunch.... Oh you mothers that can slap a sandwich together throw some grapes and cheese on a plate for lunch... I pretty much hate you and all you stand for.


Oh thanks for reading my list and I feel a touch better and now I have to go clean up a poopie diaper... SUCK!!!!! Oh you have a list of things that must go... I don't care, don't post it here.... Leave me a comment about how awesome My blog and I are. Maybe write your own list and I will go comment on it.


XOXOXOXO

Happy Birthday to you!

Dear Son,

Two years ago today at 2:09 AM you were ripped out of my belly by a Doctor! I just thought you should know. I wanted to tell you that I love you TONS and so very happy that I am your mom! Every day I get to spend with you is like a gift or a present! I think that is why they call the current day the present... because its a gift we get to live each day with each other or something like that. It sounded better in my head. But anyways I do enjoy watching you grow and learn new things. I never know what each new day will bring. Its FUN to be your mom.

I always wonder what you are going to grow up and be like. Are you going to be nice or mean, popular or a loner, cool or a nerd. Whatever you grow up to be, I LOVE YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL. Thank you for picking me to be your mother. I know it will go by fast and before I know it you will be getting ready for school... then soon asking for keys to the car so you can drive to school... That makes me sad. But for now I will still wipe your bum and get up at 7 AM and watch Blues Clues with you because I love you and thats what mom's do! But do your best in everything you do. Be kind and loving and a friend to all. Because it's nice to be important but its more important to be nice!

So enjoy your big day, I can't believe you are 2!!! I can't wait to see what this next year brings... But for now I will highlight some of our best and not so best memories of this past year! We took 2 plane rides to see family. Had a wonderful Christmas! Got to go to Alabama for your Great Grandma's 75th birthday! We both took our first ambulance ride when you fell and bit your tongue. We went to many zoos, parks, and museums. Dealt with your allergies. Threw up on Mommy in public. Got your 1st hair cut, you did so good!. Went to the library and dentist for the 1st time! Learned to deal with water and try to swim. Wow thats a lot I am sure I am missing something but thats all I can remember! I love you tons and look forward to this next year.

Thankful Thursday!!!

WOOT WOOT!!!

A little tidbit to get you to the weekend. I know you guys always die for this post! DIE I TELL YOU, DIE!

1. I am thankful I am not Jon and Kate... do I even need to start, I will not. I am also thankful that I have stopped watching their "show" and reading articles about them. GAG. sorry your 15 minutes of fame are OVER. Here is your gift bag PLEASE LEAVE.

2. Little Ms. Blogger! I really am glad she found me and adopted me as one of her own. I email her she responds promptly. Its great. She is the best! I also wish her best of luck in everything new she is doing. ;) I wish her sister read my blog THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

3. Son will be 2 on Sunday. Ok this week has been VERY emotional for me. Friend blogged about her baby turning ONE, I went to look at son's baby pictures. Ugh I need to stop before I cry. OK HE IS TURN 2 THANK YOU JESUS. I have pretty much cried at least once everyday this week.

4. Cousin Aaron. Oh it was really nice to have him stay at our house before he went to do his missionary work. I have mixed emotions but still I was emotional. He will be gone for 2 years and we won't get to see or call him just email. I think this would be harder if son was older because you know him and Aaron are BFF now. He can say Aaron now. Ok I need my hanky.

Only 4 this week I am to stressed over the partieS, son growing up, blogging and If I am good enough to blog, time to blog... you know just all those womanly things we think and worry about. BUT we did do some scripture study with Aaron.... GASP. And we studied about how Christ is happy and will be with if we are doing what we wants us to do. Right now I know he wants me to be a mom. And that if he wants me to be a mom then he will be with me and help me know the things I need to do and say to be the best mom. What a comfort those scriptures are.

So pfft #5 scripture study.

Lions, Tigers, and Bears. OH MY!

Dear Wizard of Oz,

I love you. I love that you are coming to the movie Theater for one night only... OH YEAH.. I hope you heard about that and got your tickets.. Because guess what I did and I am going, ITS GOING TO BE AWESOME. What, what, what?? You did not hear? Oh suck its September 23rd at 7 pm at about 400 theaters across the USA. Just FYI.

So I LOVE the Wizard of Oz, who doesn't?? If you don't you're either a guy, then its just OK or a good movie. If you are female and don't... Well that is up there with the S'mores and you just need to leave . So before you pee your pants... HERE IS THE WEB PAGE. OK now that is out of the way lets talk Wizard of Oz.

I love the original Judy Garland movie. I am sure that is what most people like... Most of the other movies are weird.... and the books are long and kinda like movie. So the Judy Garland is the most known well that and the high school plays... You know what I was in the Wizard of Oz when I was a Sophomore... GASP I was a munchkin with a speaking part! and an Emerald City person... which everyone had to be if you did not have a speaking part in those scenes...... Any way it so fun... expect the Emerald City part... I HATED THE COSTUMES... So the high school drama club had NO BUDGET... thats fine... but having us wear camouflage pants and our black cast T-shirt... NOT COOL NOT COOL AT ALL. Guess who did not have a say in that part...... If it was me.. we would have all been in something green from our own personal clothes... Like most normal high school drama departments with money. Ugh that was Spring 1998 and I still have issues.



Sorry for the high school flash back, but it happens when you blog IT REALLY DOES! But my munchkin part in the play really was what pushed me more in love with the movie. I am all about it and Oz trivia.... Like the ruby slippers are in the Smithsonian, and they were sliver in the book. But because Techna Color was all new the movie makers wanted to use RED so they would show up better and be awesome... Its cool it worked. And all the urban legends about the movie are kinda weird. Like the one about how you can see a man that hung himself during the scene when they meet the Cowardly Lion ... or Tin Man I can't remember... which is probably why I have never seen it OR because its not true. Or that cast members had a really hard time getting work after that movie. Well anyways you can spend all day looking that crap up the web to see if its true... I don't want to. But the best one... Wizard of Oz with Led Zeppelins Dark Side of the Moon... Uh Leah please stop smoking crack.... UH No here is a web site of some guy who has done it... HERE

SO YEAH have fun and wasting your day looking up random Wizard of Oz facts and don't forget to get your tickets.

OH GOSH!

OH GOSH! So guess what!?! I have been SOOOO busy the last few days.... So Busy. Busy with what you ask.... Well during Saturday's celebrity funfest... I met up with my friend Amy. She use to live next door to me but moved for reason's I am not sure of... No no no I know and It was not me.... It was her. Meeting a Celebrity -check hanging with friend -check and being beat down tired -check.... Also I am tried of my friends thinking I am ugly what is up with that..... =( I think I need to be on one of those make over shows... OH well. I know they are kidding, I am going to start joking back that I am tired of them being poor. (you can see a better picture of US HERE.) Ok I guess I still luck dumb. =(

Sunday I am not sure what I did. HONESTLY.... I do not remember.

Monday Hub's family Potluck dinner of fried chicken, deserts, a potato dish, deserts, water, and bag salad, and desert, and OUR chick-fil-a nugget tray... I got ONE nugget. Pot Lucks are starting to get up there on my list of things I hate. But they are a part of life so I will try to deal with it better and always bring a main dish so I don't leave hungry and keep my feelings to myself and blog. It was better then getting NO chick-fil-a nugget... Sorry Em... Poor Cousin Emily she got the raw end of the stick yesterday... driving one hour -check, son peeing pants and floor -check, baby throwing up twice on her -check no chicken nuggets -check.... She needs an award or a hug or a shout to know that I care about her and love her. =) Comment to her here because I don't know if she wants a bunch of weirdos going over and checking out her family blog. She reads mine so its all good baby.

Maybe I should have taking her to IKEA with us after the dinner. I SCORED BIG TIME. Children's chair and table set $25 and awesome art easel for son's 2nd birthday $15. We are lucky to have the IKEA near us. Actually we use to live in the apartment complex right next to it. CRAZY. I love me some IKEA. Also it was the first time trip for hub's cousin Aaron, who is spending a few days for us before he starts his Mormon church mission to Chihuahua Mexico. (a state in northern Mexico. • its capital, the principal city of northern central Mexico; pop. 530,490.) Ok that is a suck description... who wrote that?? NOT I. And why he wanted to stay with us is beyond me... well it must be the computers, TV, the fact that I will drive him places and feed him YUMMY food. Also I am an awesome host. Not only did he get to sleep on the couch and go to bed at 1 AM he was awaken at 7:30 by young son and myself, he was so excited! We were up till 1 AM fixing our friends computer. We are SO awesome and by we I mean Hub. LUCKY.

Tuesday: we had a fun trip to the Pediatric Dentist! for son, not Aaron... Aaron's teeth are fine. Son did really well he did not care for his teeth being cleaned, and the Dentist said his teeth are good no cavities and to keep brushing 2 times a day... UH have you ever tried to brush a 2 year olds teeth... IMPOSSIBLE. But I am his mom not his BFF... So I will do these things so he does not get the cavities of DOOM. In 6 months we will try to get X-rays, Son freaked I am not sure why that is the easiest part... But I am glad he sat still for the dentist, for the most part... He did better when he got his hair cut for the first time a week ago... That was hard to I almost cried my son will be 2 on Sunday.... so sad. =(

Peace out

PS... Did you notice the new button to the side... GO CHECK IT G. More on that later after I win.

celebrity blogger meeting!!

Dear Celebrities....

I have always wonder why you were also so obnoxious when it came to your fans wanting their pictures taking with you. Now I know. Today I met someone famous... They didn't even deny that they were famous but they let me take a picture with them. LUCKY...... Afterwards I was like what the douce this picture sucks!! And I thought I would share it with you.




So there is it... Celebrities don't like taking pictures with us common folk because most of the time they look awesome and the person looks all weird and crazy. And who wants that upload to photobucket or facebook??? NOOOOOO ONE


I bet you are all like what the heck who are those people Weirdo = ME Normal looking person Kristina P better know as Pulsipher Predilections !!! LUCKY me.... She did not know I was going to show my ugly mug up at the Provo Farmers Market today... But she was SO EXCITED TO SEE ME THERE!!! So much so that I rammed her with my son's stroller! I know I am awesome. But as one should act around a celebrity I was on my best awesome funny behavior!!! For REALS. And Kristina was super nice and fun! I hope we can hang out again and that she did not give me an STD or the parasite that is living her in large intestine. Also there is a better picture of Kristina, Me and Kerri you know Kerri my Messes and Mudpie friend.... That was the whole reason for me going to the farmers market again.


Well have a great Labor Day weekend and it undecided If I will blog on the Monday.
