  • The Face Behind the Blog

    Be afraid...

    Be very afraid....

    LOL, I've decided to post a picture of myself!  Its not a good one, but meh, whatever.  I just thought you guys like to put a face to the blog.

    Yep, there I am!  Hello!!

    Anyway, tomorrow is Kassies birthday party!  We are going to pick her up from her moms house today after she gets home from school at 3-ish.  I'm pretty excited for her birthday becuase I just love birthdays.  I have to order her birthday cake today...She requested a Hannah Montana one, so I'm going to look for a really cute one. 

    When hubby came home from work this morning, he told me that I was to go to the movies to see Twilight today!  I really wasnt expecting to see it in the movie theater becuase I'm very busy right now, and I told him that, but he told me to "make time", and that I deserved it.  I'm feeling very appreciated right now  .  I'm bummed that we cant make it a date and go together, but we are planning a date for next weekend when MIL can take the kiddo's for a couple of hours.

    Well, I have to get going!  Have to go pick out the cake and also some last minute things.  I hope you all have a great day!

  • People simply amaze me...Seriously.

    Okay, so this morning I took the kiddo's to Walmart, it was going alright until Logan (15 months) NEEDED to nurse.  Which is perfectly okay, I have no problem with nursing in public, but usually he is okay to not nurse while we out and about. Since his teeth are coming in (5 of them, in the back) though, he has been needing to nurse and cling more. 

    As he started to really whimper and reach for me, I picked him up out of the cart and put him on my hip and asked Melody, who walks beside the cart holding onto the side, if she wanted to sit in the front where Logan was.  She said no, so we continued on our way, pretty happily.  Once we got to the frozen food section he started to lean down and try to "root" around, getting upset.  I looked around for some benches to sit and nurse him, and this is when I noticed an older woman (probably mid to late 50's) looking down her nose at me. 

    She was sitting on one of the benches that was about 20 feet from me (the benches were back to back).  I was glad that the other bench wasn't taken so I made my way over there with a flailing Logan and a now upset/hyper/acting out Melody (she gets like that when her brother starts getting like that, and gets a bit riled up).  So I sit and grab my nursing blanket from the diaper bag, fling it over myself, and let Logan nurse.  Melody was starting to get hyper/wiggly/upset so we started to play our "Red light, Green light" game that we play while I'm nursing in public(if there is room enough) when I know she worked up and wont sit quietly beside me.  So we start playing and everyone is happy and relaxed.

    Not a minute into our nursing session, out of the corner of my eye I saw the lady kind of  turn around and look at me (we were sitting on opposite ends), so I kind of turned around and smiled and said hello.  She gives me a sour-ish look and promptly turns away.  I'm like...Okay?  But I shake it off and continue playing Red light, Green light with Melody. 

    The lady turns around again, and was staring at me.  I ignore her this time because of her previous look that she gave me.  Then she asked very loudly and rudely, "Excuse me, but isn't he a little too old to be nursing!?"  I couldn't STAND her tone.  I turn around and look at her
    "Um, excuse me?"
    "You heard me...That is just disgusting.  Not only are you in public, but that child is practically a TODDLER!" 
    And she goes on and on as I just kind of look at her like the crazy old bat that she is, completely amazed at the crap that is coming out of her mouth.  Then I noticed it.  My secret weapon to bring this lady down.
    "And look at your other child, running amok, cant even sit properly"....blah blah blah...People are starting to stare now..."and YOU, you cant be over nineteen.  What are YOU doing being a mother, such a disgrace!" 
    This was too hilarious.  Seriously.  Before she can draw a breath to continue her psychotic-ness, I say very sweetly...
    "You know, you should really make sure that you don't have lipstick on your teeth before you try to butt in and belittle people, because it REALLY makes you look like a big jackass when you are trying to be mean and have it smeared all over your front teeth.  And by the way, aren't you a little to old to be acting this way in public?  My daughter is 2 and she has better manners than you."
    She kind of just looked at me for a couple of seconds.
    "I do NOT have lipstick on my teeth!  You're just saying that to try to distract from your horrible parenting"
    A nice lady came up beside me and said "Yes you do...Seriously, go look".  And she bursts out laughing, as do I, next is Logan(because he laughs when other people laugh), and Melody(because she never wants to be left out).
    The rude old bat turns around and stalks off.
    The nice lady turns to me and say that this was the funniest thing that she's seen in a while, said that I had beautiful children, and complimented me on keeping my daughter under control while I was nursing.  We chit chatted for a little bit and then went our separate ways.

    It was seriously a scene out of a movie.  It was just so surreal.  I've never had a complete stranger be so rude to me!  I'm stoked that I had a good comeback because its usually after the fact that I come up with the really good ones.  But I just don't understand how a person could be so judgemental to someone they have never met in their life.  I'm kind of flattered that she thought I was 19 though...LOL.

    Have any of you had an experience with an extremely rude person that was a complete stranger?

    Wall-e, Birthdays, Flylady

    Right now the kiddo's are watching Wall-e!  It is such a cute movie...Seriously.  I love it already.

    I bought it today when I went grocery shopping!  I also found Kassie 2 Hannah Montana shirts for only $7, so that'll be one of her birthday presents.  She had her actual birthday on the 17th, but we are going to be doing the party this Saturday. 

    I also bought myself a 1 inch 3 ring binder, which will be my Control Jounal for the Flylady thing I'm going to try.  I'm pretty excited to try it, becuase I really need to get more organized....And I am thinking that Flylady can help me (I hope so anyway).

    Anyway, I'm off to clean up a bit and put some laundry away!
