YOU KNOW YOU'RE A MOM WHEN....

these are a few experiences from me that I've had in the past year and still counting

You know you're a mom when

1- you wake up with your childs naked bum in your face, and proceeds to sit on it

2- when you find pebbles of poo on the floor and you're almost not even shocked

3-when your child is messier after his/her bath than before the bath

4-when you wake up smelling like peanut butter

5-when you realise that you made your kids chicken nuggets for both breakfast lunch and dinner 3 days in a row

6-when you look forward to your annual gyno appointment, just to take a break from your kids

7-when you start singing the songs from your kids favorite tv shows

8-when you are sick of shrek, bee movie, happy feet etc.

9-when you sit down to relax when kids are taking a nap and you are too lazy to turn off shrek, bee movie, happy feet etc; so you watch it

10- when going to target is getting your kids out of the house.

11-when you go to bed and there are cracker crumbs everywhere

12-when you can't seem to clean up all of those toys because the kids keep getting em out right after you put some away

13-when your one year old knows how to open the pantry door and get out the garbage

14- when it gets to quiet you know something, Not good, is happening, right at that very moment

15-when you have a clogged toilet from a tennis ball and not from poo

16- when you see your child peeing into the empty bath tub, or in the yard

17- when you go to wal mart with your kids in a t-shirt and diaper (no pants)

18- when your kids are wearing the same clothes from the previous day and they slept in them but they still look alright so you leave them on em.

19-when you come home and you take a whiff, and realise you forgot to throw away that poopy diaper.

20-when your dish washer is filled with only sippy cups and bottles

21-when Play House Disney is over, you find yourself watching Hannah Montana and you Like it

22-when you ignore that loud banging- if it's not glass being broken, no harm no fowl.

23- when you keep smelling something and then you realise its your armpit- you need a shower and haven't had one in 2-3 days

24-you have marker and pen drawn all over your your arms and legs.

25- when the pen scribbles all over the wall suddenly doesn't look so bad

26-when you are going out for ice cream at 10 in the morning

27-when the people at Burger King know you from the previous day(s)

28- did I feed my kids? is the Floor messy? Yes , I fed my kids.

29-STOP PLAYING IN THE TOILET

30- when your normal voice is a yelling voice

31-when you have to stock up on Ketchup and Ovaltine

32-when you find yourself sprinting outside, to catch the ice cream man -for yourself not the kids

1980's-1990's -perms and Mullets

I've been watching Pretty in Pink, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and 16 Candles, Better off Dead, and The Goonies. etc.... (those movies are kind of a comfort... i dunno why).

So, I've come to the conclusion that the Perms, the Big Bangs, Blue mascara and Eye shadow, the styles ;ALL OF IT... was the cause of the Great Wall of China being built!!!

Now I know that it was built 100's of years ago but,some how those Buddhist monks saw the western Culture and had a vision of the 1980's and knew that they would someday follow our lead in the fashion world! So any possible way that they could postpone that happening to their culture would be the best thing.

The 1980's in general was just a horrible Earth Quake of Ugly (maybe that's when Scientology was 'created' hmmm, just a thought)

If you don't agree with, me ask yourself this.... Did you ever sport the Mullet or a Poofy Perm? Do you or did you know anyone that had a mullet and or Perm (yes both together). And, how ginormous were those Shoulder pads?? Did you like the Rose Musk perfume?

even the Early 1990's (until the movie Clueless came out)fashion, was pretty Ug.

My sister Megan Wore Tights Under her Shorts (I'm also guilty). I wore Stirrups with tie die shirts, saddle shoes, And Ginormous Big thick Brown Framed perscription Glasses ( my mom said they were really cute on me). I had Friends that Had Really Fluffy big Bangs, and I was Jealous of them (I'm obviously not anymore)

Do you remember the High waisted Mom Pant that came up over Mom's Bladder/uterous and they were tapered at the bottom of the pants to show off poof rigded white socks and brown shoes(Did Dolce and Gabanna think those up)?

Oh, and you know those Pants From 'RexKwon doe' From Napoleon Dynamite??? Those pants, those pants, those pants. My Brothers had those pants. It was Fabric that looked liked they were Spray Painted With Fluorescent Green, Pink, orange etc.
Who came up with those, Versace?

As Much as the 1980's-early 1990's were totally ugly; its an era that can deffinately help us in the future. And It's always there in Remembrance for those days we need a good laugh - or to be humiliated by a highschool picture.

Thanks for reading. Just thought of writing something other than tylers deployment bla bla bla

Diet coke Anyone???

Well last night was the first night with out Tyler being here. I let Ryker sleep with me in our KING sized bed. But With Ryker in it, it felt like sharing a Twin sized bed. That little stinker kept me awake. I need a diet coke ( the Mormon Coffee). I'm listening to Justin Nozuka- after tonight. --- because after tonight i'm gonna need a nap in the morning he he

Well lets see.... Ryker has been doing very well with his potty training and going PEE in the potty. He even woke up last night and went pee and came back to bed. But when it Comes to POO.... OMG KILL ME. I've washed 3 pairs of Thomas the Train underwear as they werecasualties of war with Rykers poopshoop. I've thrown away two Brave Soldiers ( spiderman and a plain white pair of underwear). They were so brave... they both said to me: don't put your other laundry at risk on our account, we are too damaged. I agreed so I put them to rest in our outside Garbage can. They were officially laid to rest at the dump yesterday afternoon ( imagine hearing the song Taps). I just don't understand why he wont go poop on the pot! Oh well at least it will keep me busy... I also need to go rent a carpet cleaner ( for other reasons than poop)

Anyway, Last night I thought I heard some noise outside; apparently Dexter ( my huge German shepherd) did too, because he started barking (his very furious sounding bark) and the noise outside stopped. I feel totally safe with my big ole puppy.

Does it ever feel like after you've cleaned every inch of your house there are still toys everywhere??? It feels like a zoo (now i'm listening to Simon and Garfunkel-at the zoo.... some how feels fitting)

is it a dream? or REALITY

Good morning!!!

two nights ago I was kinda in a panic, I'd been trying to get my 3 year old to potty train, for over 6 months (approx)! I wouldn't be panicked exept he's supposed to be potty trained for his next year of preschool which starts in about 2-3 weeks ( Aug 11).

well i was listening to some calming music ( michael nyman- the piano soundtrack) and it Popped into my head!!!

the grand idea

I grabbed my One year old and took off his diaper and sat him down on the trainer potty. And I said good job Phoenix!!! Well Ryker saw it and Practically pushed him off of the little potty and took of his trainers and went pee in the potty!

The next day ryker went and got his Thomas the train big boy underwear and put it on and kept them dry. He went to the potty as needed and he even went to Walmart and kept em dry! And today He kept em dry and he's gone to the potty all by him self all day!!!

I'm hoping that i'm not dreaming!!!

I've finally had some mercy put on my head!!!! ( which i'm listening too now Mercy- by Duffy)

I'm mormonish

Yesterday, we had quite an unexpected morning! It started off as your average morning. I was following tyler to a car repair place and there was a woman driving Moped in front of me. She made a right hand turn at the stop light and crashed or literally just tipped over with her moped right on top of her. Obviously I jumped out of my car and lifted it off of her. I grabbed my brand new jacket from my car and stuck it under her head. I had never seen any thing like that before. She was bleeding from her mouth and she couldn't breath. Tyler called the Paramedics and as I tried to calm her down I got her to give me her husbands phone number. I waited in the backround until Her husband came- just in case the paramedics took her away then i could tell him where to go. Anyway she should be ok a few broken bones but nothing major.

I'm glad that I didn't feel the need to hesitate to help somebody. I may not be the best person or example in the world but I'm glad that I was tought to help a person in need

I'm listening to IN THIS LIFE- by Delta Goodrem

I Am KIKI HEAR ME ROAR!

I am kiki hear me roar!!! I have been In GA for the past 4 years (almost). The first week I got here I was living on Robins AFB. I had bought a New CD from Nelly Furtado (folklore). It's funny because i don't really like that CD anymore!

That CD reminds me of Being Alone!

Right now i'm listening to Dig-Incubus.

'We all have someone or something That digs at us'. Dig your self from up from whats digging at you and discover that you can do more!! You can do anything!

Tyler is going to Deploy- This time i'm going to stay here in GA by myself for a few weeks. But instead of my thinkning that i can't do it. I'm putting confidence in myself that I can!!! Therefore I am kiki HEAR me Roar.

Try out the song Dig- Incubus I think you might like it. It influenced me to dig down into my self to find my inner strength instead of digging down for the unconfidant me!!

ITS KIKI

fGreetings Bloggers!!!f

This is officially my first post.

Well, Tyler is leaving on thursday officially for his 4th deployment.
Although, I'm used to it... it never gets any easier to say goodbye.

I love listening to music... when tyler deploys I listen to it alllllll the time. It helps my mood.
And helps me decide what mood i'm gonna be in at that moment (yup i'm that indecisive:-)

I'm listening to Yael Niam- New Soul. Look it up, you may like it.
