If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

I have been swamped at work, I know I keep saying that but it is beyond true. Trying to get adequate health insurance for employees is HARD, and very difficult. The process has sent my office into overdrive. Not to mention I think 'broker's are heartless, liers and scam artist. (am I bitter, yeah - just a little bit). Here is a glimpse into my day- it started at 5am with Pyper in my bed, trying to find a strand of my hair so she could play ( torture me) with it. She tried to find the side of my neck, which was nuzzled by my arm and her little finger made it's way into my ever so pleasant arm-pit. She dug her little finger around in my arm pit, for oh - 3 seconds and proclaimed - ' ICK '. I shouted back at her, ' you think that is bad, you should feel my legs. Now get away from me'. We got out of bed and i made my way to the shower; where I located a razor ;) I was schedule to see my OB today - it has been two years, I thought it might be time. Alias , I ...

Okay so I bought this pretty green dress for Pyper - she turns 2 in about a week. To say she hated the dress is putting lightly, the moment I put the dress on her, she began to cry. I tried to bribe her with fruit snacks, a lolly pop, candy - ANYTHING. Just wear the damn dress. During the far right photo, she got her thumb stuck in the bow of the dress. This sent her into a FIT . Long story short, I took alot of photo's of her crying in the dress - you would think it was on fire burning her butt the way she acted. We took the dress off burned it in the front yard and decided to finger paint as a reward (distraction), for just putting the damn thing on. *I am trying to imagine what she would have done if I had pulled out the tights. So here she is 5 minutes later 1/2 naked and finger painting. Notice how HAPPY she is. She can find her fit emotion in a second, and turn it on in no time flat. *Damn, she's good at being a drama queen. I should probably take notes. After fi...

Dear god, if you can hear me please send me a vacation - a drink and a cabana boy. I am trying REALLY hard crawl back in bed and pull the covers over my head. Hurdle 1 and counting: Around 4pm yesterday I get a phone call from Lance, which is not unusual. He usually calls to say he is on his way to pick up the kids and start dinner. Only this phone call was not typical, it started out with ' Michelle, I think I am broke down on the side of the road.' Me - you think? What the hell does that mean, either you or you are not. Lance 'Let me check things out and I will call you back, by the way I am at the Page extension. ' *(mind you we live by Fenton and it is 4pm, I work at 141 and Manchester - not Page extension). I sit by my phone trying not to take work phone calls for fear I will miss Lance's update. *sidebarr - prior to his call I was 'dealing' with the broker from work, about to lose my mind. Lance calls back, I think I need a tow truck, the belt is off a...

So we go out Saturday night, and prior to going out I am getting ready, trying on this backless shirt. Lance is excited, it thinks it is 'sexy', however my poor boobs look terrible in it. So I pull out these adhesive bras that you can buy at Target/Walmart etc. I put these things on that look like a band-aid on striods, Lance decides he likes the shirt better without anything underneth it. Me 'Of course you do, but I will not be comfortable'. Lance ' well, those BIG band-aids look funny'. As we are walking to the car, I sprint back in to my room and put on a normal shirt. I don't want to have boob drama all night long, so I opt for a v-neck shirt and a bra. And it is a good thing I did . We arrive at the Steak House around 6:30, I didn't eat all day, because I was going to chow at dinner. We don't have a reservation, so we wait until a table has two available seats. A BIG group walks in, a group with three couples and all of their kids, these kids ra...

http://www.glumbert.com/media/pants Would you play this game?? Perhaps if I won....ha! Note: I would be leery of watching this at work. There is no profanity, no nudity, but my work may consider it borderline. Here is another laugh... 2008 IRS pencil sharpener... So this weekend we are having 'date' night on Saturday night. My sister is keeping our kids and we are going to Tokyo Steak House - has anyone ever been? http://stlouis.citysearch.com/profile/5707688/manchester_mo/tokyo_steak_house.html I plan to unwind, and spend some quality time with hubby. Keeping my fingers crossed the weather allows us to make it to my sisters. Keep safe.

Last night I asked Rylan to get in the shower.... I hear the water running and running and running. Seeping out from under the doorway is this cloud of white, as you get closer it sticks to the back of your throat. I bang of the door ' Hey, what are you doing?' Rylan ' aw nothing' You can hear him scramble from behind the door. I roll my eyes thinking who knows what in the hell he is doing. I ask once again, now in my mom voice 'what are you doing?' Rylan 'look..open the door and look.' I try the door it is locked (we have a rule around my house NO locked doors), I bang on the door and shout ' it is LOCKED.' I can hear him scramble to get to the door (mind you my bathroom is not that big). He swings the door open and proclaims 'Ta-da' He must have seen the suprise on my face as I spat out ' what?' The bathroom is covered with babypowder, along with every part of his body. It is a mess. He interjects ' I am a ghost'. All ...

Okay, so even I cannot stand to read my blog....how damn depressing do I sound. Today I am taking a new approach....if you read this I hope you smile. My grandma, who sends me alot of email sent these to me - it made me smile and provided a light note to my day. *I will be an ugly wretch tomorrow. PS - if you have kids and like the Cardinals they have a kids club. here is the link http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/stl/fan_forum/kidsclub.jsp Over the weekend Rylan and I went to the Hockey Kids Club game, and he had a blast. Plus he got a ton of stuff from the club (a blues duffel bag, a blues hat, a squirt bottle, an art set) etc. I suspect the Cardinals to a great job with their kids club as well. It does cost $20.00 per kid - so don't be shocked.
