Chris Brown "Ain't no monster" and he 'ain't' speaking English

So Chris Brown posted a video saying that he "ain't no monster" and all about his new CD coming out. First of all I know that it has become cool to be Ghetto and not speak proper English but when it gets to the point where we can barely understand what you are saying it it a little much. Secondly oh we must have been mistaken and it must have been your car that attacked Rihanna?! I mean look at her face and tell me again how you aren't a monster? I think any man who beats a woman isn't a monster because maybe that would give monsters a bad name!

I worked hard for my millions!

My sister decided we were going to win the lottery...correction...we ARE going to win the lottery TONIGHT!

I did the research on the best way to pick the numbers and got it down to an outline of how we were going to pick

2 odd 4 even and 4 low (1-27) and 2 high (over 27)
4 odd 2 even 2 low and 4 high
3 odd 3 even 3 low and 3 high

we picked our winning numbers and I headed to 7-11

Deciding on the numbers was the easy part because remember I have a 6 month old...I packed him up and we had to stop at the bank because I had to deposit a check so I take all 18 pounds of him plus whatever his carrier into the bank to the ATM and think about getting out cash but decide it was too many steps so I put the check in and we head out to the car.

We arrive at the 7 11 and I take the carrier out once again. We head in and I have no idea how to buy a lotto ticket. The cashier directs me to the back of the store where I see the kiosk and I get my cards and fill in my numbers.

I decided to play all 4 sets of numbers we picked on the TX lotto and one set of the numbers on the Mega Million drawing. I take my filled out cards heaving the carrier towards the front of the store to get my tickets.

I hand her the cards and once they print and I got my total I hand her my debit card...and find out you have to pay with cash...great! So she tells me I can buy something and get cash back so I grab the closest thing, a bag of peanut M&Ms (and I wonder why I can't get the baby weight off?!) and swipe the card only to press the "credit" button! So no cash back! Then she grabs a laffy taffy to ring me up yet again so I can press "debit" and get my cash. Finally all that hassle and I get my tickets which included a non-winning scratcher...but that's ok I didn't want to waste my luck on a measly $50K!

I will update tomorrow on what I am going to buy with my millions!

Teething Bites!

Carter at 6 months still doesn't have any teeth, but I am sure they are coming soon. He is really irritable and has been drooling and biting everything. And I had thought he was going to be 18 and still gumming his food. Then the poor already cranky kid rolled off the couch, he is ok, but he was even more angry! I gave him some tylanol and now he is napping, hopefully he will be a much happier little man after he gets a little rest. I just wonder why he had to wait until his Daddy went back to work to finally start cutting those teeth...I guess I am the lucky one that he decided to save all the "fun" for me!

Vlogemotions May 21st

If you would like to get involved with the Vlogemotions carnival please go check out Fort Thompson for the info and to post your link
Here is my 3rd Vlog and I got my new mini laptop that was my wonderful Mother's Day gift from my dear husband and I was having fun with the editing software...I will probably get more and more rediculous as the weeks go on with the editing... well enjoy!

Birthday Party for a hero!

Tonight was a fantastic night, we went to a suprise birthday party for Dr Mendeloff, who was Carter's surgeon for his heart defect repair. All of the kids got up on the stage and sang Happy Birthday when he came in the room. It was awesome and very emotional to see all the kids he has helped. Even he had a hard time resisting the tears.

I "love" waking up at 3 am!

Hello fellow "Vlogemotion-ers" Go check out Fort Thompson to join the Vlog Carnival and see other vlogs!
Here is my secound round of "vlogging" it was a little easier than the first time, and a little hair and make-up goes a long way don't worry I am sure next week I will be back to my norm of ponytails and PJs! I just have a CHD meeting to go to..so I take the chance to get dressed and ready when I have an actual "outing". Enjoy...

Wonderful Song

How can a song teach you to appreciate your life even more?

I saw him on Oprah and practically squeezed the life out of Carter with a big fat hug!

Look at the Big Boy!

Finally we have freedom from the baby carrier!

I never realized how heavy that carrier would be once Carter started getting bigger, and I am not a big person either. At just over 5 feet tall it was hard if not impossible to see over the carrier when it was in a shopping cart. And then there is the added stress of the carrier not fitting in all carts, for example his carrier would fit fine in the top section of the Target carts, but it wouldn't fit in the Wal-mart carts, so I would have to put the carrier in the bottom part which would inhibit how much grocery shopping I could actually do because half the cart was now full of carrier and baby.

So officially yesterday we graduated to riding in the cart without the carrier! I was worried how he would do since he barely started sitting on his own and he still tumbles over from time to time, but the little seatbelt held him nicely. I did have one of those cloth covers and this one actually has it's own strap that you can strap to the cart and also has toys attached which helped keep a teething baby occupied. Now towards the end we started to have a meltdown as he got tired of holding himself up, but all in all I would call it a success!

My Vlog Challenge...

Thanks to Tim over at Fort Thompson I was challenged to create a VLOG I didn't realize how hard it would be to get in front of the camera and talk about my challenges this week, I kind of copped out by bringing in the baby! :) I was going to get dressed and fix my hair, put in my contacts the whole nine yards...but this way you get the real me...the stay at home mom who lives in Pjs and ponytails Enjoy...

My dear sweet cat is...EVIL!

I should start this story by letting you know that I get freaked out by little bugs...so anything dead...forget about it!

My cat uses the doggy door and goes in and out freely, it was not my choice, but he found the door and quite frankly not having to deal with a litter box is nice. I was feeding the baby and he comes in and I noticed it looked like he had something...turns out it was a dead bird! Not a tiny bird either...a dove! It's head was floppy so I know it was dead...whether or not he killed it I have no idea. I tried to scare him back outside but he wouldn't budge! He was just sitting there making the most awful sound like a loud purr with a soft bark at the end. Finally he took it back outside and started eating it. So I am pretty much sure that he will catch some horrible disease and I don't even want to let him back in the house (even though I will). Ew...I will never look at my sweet little cat the same! At least my dear husband didn't get a call to come home for an emergency dead bird removal!

Where you born in a barn and raised by a pig?

I am so sick of hearing about the "swine flu" and people's stupid questions regarding it. Seriously it is quite simple

1. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze
2. Wash your hands...and this doesn't mean a quick rinse...wash with soap and water for 20 seconds! Sing the "happy birthday" song and THAT is how long you should be washing your hands. And not just against the Swine Flu...people that is gross if you leave the bathroom without sudsing up!
3. If someone is hacking and sneezing around you make your distance
4. If you are sick STAY HOME and DO NOT go the the Dr/ER call them to find out if they WANT you in their office possibly infecting more people
5. Keep your hands out of your mouth, nose, and eyes...that is how the virus on your hands enters your body.
6. You CAN eat pork...it has NOTHING to do with the meat.
7. If you get the Swine Flu you are NOT going to die...most people have had mild flu symptoms
8. You do NOT have to stay locked up in your house and cut yourself off from the entire world...just follow the guidelines above

The sad thing is that people have to be TOLD to do things like "wash your hands" and "cover your mouth" when these are simple things that we should be doing regardless of any outbreak of disease. Maybe this whole thing will will cause good basic behaviors that we were all taught as children to become a habit and hopefully we will see less people leaving the bathroom stall to walk past the sink and straight out the door...EW!

The Frightening Truth About the Internet

So I am sure we have all had those times where we felt that we have looked one too many times at someone's profile or updates. Be it on Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or any number of social networking sites. New sites seem to be popping up faster than you can "update your status" on the first.

The question comes to me now and then...who might be "cyberstalking" me?

We put out all of this personal information to keep in touch with friends and family and maybe even connect with a few strangers, but what about the people who are lurking on our profiles with no good intentions?

I heard the other day that child pornographers have been busted with children's photos even as young as infants and toddlers that were downloaded from the internet for their sexual pleasure. Just the thought of some total creep saving a photo of my innocent 5 month old for anything other than thinking he is adorable gives me chills.

With our entire lives posted on the internet for all to see do we really stop to think about who might be accesssing it?
