Snuggles

Dearest Moms,


Snuggle as much as possible. Every time my girls ask me to read a book I try never to say no! I always ask them each and every day to come cuddle me for 10 minutes (hopefully longer).


I LOVE to lay and talk to London about her wishes for things like every piece of clothing she touches from Justice and I love to have my 11 year old tell me how she hates oil companies and how people are stupid and ruin our earth and how she will change that and how she tries to now by educating her friends and family...I love to ask my 5 year old about her day and what she dreams about and my awesome teenager is always eager to update me on her school schedule, social outings and friend gossip.


Recently my daughter scolded some acquaintances severely with regards to alcohol abuse and we are just SO DAMN PROUD OF HER!


Its really truly the best thing ever to assist these little beings in developing into intelligent, considerate, conscientious human beings responsible for their own actions and how they affect other people.


Its so amazing to remember they are not MINE they are just allowing me to guide them and keep them as safe as meant to be on their 

Back to School

Fuck me

If I would have known the logistics of having 4 kids to get ready for back to school I am unclear as to wether I would have had 4 kids...OF COURSE I wouldn't change anything now and I love and adore them so all you scoffers shut up thats not what I am saying.  Its just no one warned me or explained to me all the appointments and money you need to spend to have healthy, seemingly happy children of various ages!

Ok so in August we have 4 pediatrician well check up appointments and they are all AT LEAST 45 minutes because the doctor is never on  time and each kids has to be asked certain questions and do certain tests. I try and book all 3 young ones the same day in a row so I don't have to take out 3 days of doctor appointments just one day is ruined. So while we are there the girls are madly bored and of course misbehave making me appear to be the LAST adult on earth who should have bred 4 times!  We have THE BEST PEDIATRICIAN if you want contact info email me!

THEN I take the teenager to her appointment but this year she went on her own WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

Now we are at the dentist portion of August.  Again I insanely book all 4 girls same day so I only have one rotten day of whining and complaining.  Our dentist is awesome and she gets us in and out fast (possibly because she has 5 kids and can relate!).  Dr Dixon's office in Sorrento Valley we see Kim Sauer DDS.

Then 2 have to get ortho dontist appointments and of course they HAD to be at 2 different offices so thats 2 separate days of ortho appointments and trying to NOT take the other 2 little ones on either day posses a babysitting issue.

THEN all 4 have the eye doctor to see......you getting the idea? 4 more appointments.

DONT FORGET that every year at least 2 need papers filled out at the pediatrician and dentists office before school.....

One is entering middle school so I have to go to the school 2 times. Once to pick up papers and fill them out and another day to see school and get her schedule and picture taken.  One is headed to Kindergarten and so I have to enroll her one day and go back another day for Kinder orientation and classroom/teacher visit.  Thats 4 more days in August.

Now comes the expense:  new shoes 1 pair per girls $200+, socks  (haven't bought yet but I imagine for all 4 girls $100), panties ($7 a pair for some $10 a pair for some and $10 for 5 for little ones = $150)....1 new outfit for each girl ($200), 3 backpacks ($130) and 3 new lunch boxes ($60)...that doesn't include ANY school supplies which I will have to purchase after the first week of school.

OH and I left out a $30 co pay for EVERY doctor appointment....$400

TOTAL COST FOR BACK TO SCHOOL for 4 daughters - around $1200

Feel my pain yet?


Kids that made me a card yesterday cause I didn't feel good that calls me the best mom and made me look thin PRICELESS


Wouldn't change a thing I swear its pretty damn cool to see all I CAN do for them!


If you ask me "How many could should I have Erika?" I'd say 5!

Wow I learned how to help save the earth SO SIMPLY

HOLY CRAP

So many of us WANT to do the right thing...eat healthier, 

save the earth, waste less, help others....I think a SMALL percent

of US do want to DO good but dont know how or when and feel over whelmed.

If thats you then start by watching TAPPED and NEVER BUY 

ANOTHER plastic disposable water bottle again. Its THAT SIMPLE!

  

Dear Pedestrians

....fuck off.

DO NOT WALK DOWN the middle of the DAMN driveway isle at the grocery store or mall do as you are supposed to and stay to the right!

AND If you are too STUPID or TOO LAZY to cross at the light or stop sign 50 feet further and you must cross the street randomly WAIT until I pass.  Don't you DARE walk out in the middle look at me and then expect me to stop for your fuggly ass.

I DONT CARE IF IN CALIFORNIA the "pedestrian has the right of way" that ONLY counts when you are at an intersection NOT RANDOM street crosses.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE you are ignorant people not paying attention to your environment because you are shallow and stupid and always thinking about yourself in your head.

I am from Philly near the tri-state area and I ~*~ WILL ~*~ run your ass down and make you scoot.

and one more thing PARENTS keep you damn kids to the side when you are walking down isles too and teach them not to dart out.  I wont hit them though I promise.

and JUST wait for my rant about the bad kids at the grocery store and the BAD adults.

PS Vanessa its ok to be  in a bad mood and if anyone takes it soooo personally it ruins their day then screw em they are so self centered to even think its all about them.
