So What!? Wednesday...

Short on time!  Short on material!  I know you miss my face...You're Welcome!

Mother F'n Monday...

Yahooooooo! It's Mother F'n Monday!  Although, since it was my BIRTHDAY week(end) I don't have much to complain about today and since I'm short on time I'm just going to leave you with a Flipagram recapping my AMAZING weekend!  

Thank You All So Much for all the awesome birthday wishes!  Totally made this girl feel SPECIAL!

Mother F'n Monday...

Instead of the totes norm Weekend Review post that everyone and their cute little 5 pound dogs will be doing this AM...I've decided to branch out and give you the VERY first edition of Mother F'n Monday! These posts will be dedicated to kick'n the week off right and just lay'n it all out there like you just don't give a F... Feel free to join in, who knows how these posts will spread and evolve over time seeing as though I'm making this up literally as I type from one word to the next... You're Welcome!

Now, let's get to what has been driving me totally, completely, bat-shit cray this past week...

[one]  Going on a hunt around the world just to find a matching pair of Norah's socks!  I.Give.Up. Norah will either be a trend-setter, and bring the whole kooky mismatched socks thing in style, or she will forever be banished to "That One" lunch table before she even hits preschool.  And honestly, at this point I've wasted so many of my 45 minutes of morning awake time (morning awake time = getting not only the children up, dressed, fed BUT also myself up and dressed...oh and throw a dog in there for shits and giggles!) looking for her damn socks!  No one else has this problem in the house, just her?!  W.T.F.

[two]  If I hear Jack say "Uuuuggggggghhh!  Why I gotta do everything all the time?" One.More.Time. I might lose my Mother F'n mind, like whoa! Really? Really? Did he just say that?

[three]  Oscar... #enoughsaid

[four]  Jillian Michaels! I know there is some big JM contest going on and I'm not dogging anyone that's doing it because y'all know I like to be working on my fitness too, but there is literally only so much one person can take of That Woman's Mug! For.Real.  However, I am almost intrigued to try her Yoga workouts based on the shit being shoved down My HomeGirls throat...eek...almost...maybe!

[five]  Jeans!  I hate them again!  Hate...

So What! Wednesday

Yay! for Hump Day!  I'm telling you between being off work for the holidays and then being snowed in, my life schedule is like whoa, totally out of whack!  It sucks!  I feel lazy and chubby...it is what it is!

This week I'm saying So What! if...

• I'm already shitting my pants thinking about Jack wrestling this weekend for the FIRST time!  Say a little prayer that there isn't some BA little 4 year old that just beats the hell out of him!  Eek! #wrestlingmom 
• I do yoga in my underwear!  It's not like I posted a full length picture...I'm actually guessing that's what the problem was!  #tease
• I haven't been able to control anything, and I mean anything, that has gone in my mouth for the past 4 weeks.  I can't help it, shit just finds it's way in there whether I want it to or not!  #twss
• I secretly LOVE that Norah refuses, on purpose, to say "Daddy, Dada, Dad-o" or any other form of the word Dad, which drives The Husband absolutely bat shit crazy!  #mommasgirl
• I will NEVER get tired of watching Something Borrowed, it's the best lazy Sunday afternoon movie! I'm totally team Rachael, all the way!  #dexishot
• I have a million blog post topics on my phone, but can never seem to find the motivation to actually sit down and ever write them!  How do y'all do it, in the AM?  PM?  Same time every day?  #badblogger
• I can't wait for The Husband to travel next week; he's been home like the last 3 weeks due to the holidays and I need a break!  #gypsyhusband
• I'm so far OVER running that I don't know if/when I will ever go back, like ever!  5k runs, sure...anything farther, not so sure!  #needachange
• I turn 31 in like two weeks, I'm still pretty!  #oldlady

That's all I got for this fine Wednesday!  Head on over and link up with Shannon and tell us what you are saying So What! to this week!

2013 - YEAR IN REVIEW...

Twenty-Thirteen was most definitely AMAZING but I know the BEST is yet to come!

I've done this "year in review" questionnaire for the last five years, man that seems like a long time!

If you want to enjoy some blasts from the past here you go; 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 !

1. What did you do in 2013 that you'd never done before? 

10-K Groundhog Run! Plastic Surgery! All-inclusive 7 night Cancun Vacation (sans children)! Tough Mudder! Chiefs Game! Half Marathon!

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

My 2013 resolutions were: 1. Keep Running - First Half Marathon in September with Molly! Then Route 66 Half in November!, 2. Complete ORB, 3. Keep finding myself as an individual - not just someone's wife and Mom.

1. Success (minus the September half)! 2. Fail! 3.Success!

In 2014 I want to: 1. Get Fit! 2. Play with my kids more! 3. Focus on Nutrition and start Cooking (some)! 4. Enjoy the people that enjoy me!

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

Chelsea had Jayden! Madeline had Camille! Leslie had Jett! 

4. Did anyone close to you die?

Don't think so...horrible answer, but I don't...

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

This is a tie between completing the Tough Mudder and the Route 66 Half Marathon.

9. What was your biggest failure?

It's lame, but not losing all the weight I said I wanted too... 

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?

I had my boobs done in March, but that's like elective injury! I found out I have bursitis in my left hip and had a bout with ITBS, I got a huge cortisone shot in my hip and did PT for about 6-8 weeks and that issue seemed to be resolved! No major illnesses thankfully for myself or family!

11. What was the best thing you bought?

Our new living room furniture!

12. Whose behavior merited celebration? 

Our daycare provider, Tonya!  I don't even like calling her our "daycare provider" she is more like family!  She has always loved Jack and Norah like her own and treats them so, so, so well!  We are truly lucky to have her and cherish her more then she will probably ever know!

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?

This is such a loaded question.  But I honestly have zero desire to do the petty, HS BS, jealous girl thing anymore - I'm just not interested.

Bills and Children... 

 

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?

My new and improved boobs!  Eek!

Happier, Thinner, Richer...

18. What do you wish you’d done more of?

Internalized, Journaled, Blogged...

19. What do you wish you’d done less of?

Wasted time focused on and worried about the "what if"? 

20. How did you spend Christmas? 

The norm - family and gifts

 

21. Did you fall in love in 2013?

I fell in love with my newest BFF, Molly. I only met her 13 short months ago, but I honestly don't know how I survived the previous 29 years without her! 

22. What was your favorite TV program?

Criminal Minds...

 

23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?

No, this is a dumb ass question.

Since I got to meet her in person this year, I'm going to say Lori (and Jenni) in Chicago!

37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2013.

The majority of people suck! But then there are the few that rock! To those that rock...I mucho big puffy heart love you long time! To those that suck, fuck off.  Lesson learned...don't force a relationship/friendship, it's a complete waste of time. Instead focus on the relationships that are two-way (or three-way) streets; you should get the same value out of any relationship that you put into it!

 

38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

"I gotta little drunk last night..." Eli Young Band
