Since I'm up at stupid o'clock due to a nice long nap earlier, I figured I'd blog a bit and do a meme or two. Why not? I'm bored and borderline tired but not tired enough to sleep just yet. Maybe working the brain and answering some questions will cause me to turn in sooner rather than later. It seems I missed last weeks Sunday Stealing Meme so since it's a 3 parter (the third yet to come) I'll

1. St. Patrick's Day is March 17th (Thursday). Do you celebrate and wear green? Drink Green Beer? Ignore it? I don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Maybe I should, I can't know. Seems like a good excuse among others to go out and get lit. Then again, having four kids to wake you up with a screaming hang over doesn't sound to appealing to me. 2.

I wonder if anyone will notice.... 1. Charlie Sheen is an idiot and will probably end up with his own stupid reality show that will get 40 million viewers the first day and then people will fall asleep and quit watching. What person, celebrity or not, would you watch every eppy of a reality show if they were the center of it all?Hmmm...well I watched Bret Michaels: Life as I know it and Gene

So while reading through posts on my favorite forum, Insanity Cafe I came across one about the 20 Completely Bizzaro Parenting Products. I must say I got a kick out of some of these and others left me to wonder. I've raised 4 kids and still going strong without the help of some of these crazy contraptions. We live in a world where we just can't do without those new ideas, products and

Friday 5 for February 18: Connections Nowadays, just about everyone knows a couple who first met online. Among couples you know, who has the best story? I do! In my opinion  Who among your real-life acquaintances might you never have been friends with if you hadn’t gotten to know each other online first? I can't know. I get along with pretty much everyone. Of people you know online only, who

If you are 30, or older, you might think this is hilarious! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways… yadda, yadda, yadda And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was

Which do you prefer? Biographies written about someone? Or Autobiographies written by the actual person (and/or ghost-writer)? Me personally, I like both but I'd rather read an Autobiography. There are a couple I'm hoping to read one of these days. The first is by Terry "Hulk" Hogan it's called My life Outside the Ring. I've always been a fan of his as I used to watch wrestling when I was

This has been a crazy week let me tell you. I've been running around to this appointment and that appointment, working and just going nonstop ALL week long. I'm thankful for the weekend but at the same time...not so much. There's laundry to be done, laundry to be put away, some left over paperwork to be finished and then to find time to relax...and/or to get motivated to get all my stuff done.

 I'm tired.I'm exhausted and frustrated and borderline angry. I'd be all out angry but honestly...I just don't have the energy for that emotion anymore. At times (although few and far between) I feel completely defeated. Why? I'm sure other Only parents (vs. Single parents) out there can relate. I just don't get it.

For some reason today it entered my mind that I need to get back to practicing some of which was lost in all the craziness of my life over the past 5-6 years. A healthy, healing and insightful approach to coming back to the full circle of me. I used to meditate often and over the years it was pushed aside because of the inability to find that peace due to all the chaos, confusion and constant

Today we ripped this meme off a blogger known as Starrlight from the blog Here Comes the Storm...In the Form of a Girl. She explains that she "Had this sent to me last night and now I have to share. Ah the Vedder." We really have no idea who she stole it from. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some

Every Saturday WTIT: The Blog brings you a meme called Saturday 9. It’s not to say that this is a bright idea, but it is what we do. A woman named Crazy Sam started this meme because a prior popular Saturday meme specialist Lola had retired. So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. The biggest difference is that Sam enjoys our participation. All of Sam’

A lot has happened in the past few months. Aside from entertaining the kiddos this summer and then getting ready for the new school year, some long overdue realizations have hit me as well. I've come to realize (although I think I've always known this) that I put high expectations (although I don't feel they are all that high) on the fathers of my children. When I was little and my mom and dad

Alright so we've all been wondering what Idol will be like without Paula. Some names were thrown out there and none really grabbed at me and made me think "I wanna watch it"...until now. I think Ellen will be a great and entertaining addition to the show. Now I'm gonna have to watch it again!

Today we ripped this meme off a blogger known as Kyddryn from Shadow and Sweetwater. She claims she stole it from someone on Facebook. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time.

There are some shows that I’m not too proud to say I watch, but I do…either because there’s nothing else to watch and I’m intrigued, or because I secretly love them. NCIS - I'm an addict. I own all 5 seasons and have the 6th on pre-order. I've watched them over and over again. LOVE the show.Wizards of Waverly Place - One of my daughters favorite shows on TV right now, aside from Hannah Montana,

We've been told a few times this season that we had some thunderstorms coming our way only for them to pitter out before they reached us. This aggravates me. I'm anxiously awaiting our first official good set of thunderbumpers aka thunderstorms. So for now and until we get some good storms passing through I offer you the below.

Alright so here's the deal. I've been playing that addicting Restaurant City game on Facebook and in the middle of an In the Kitchen scrapbook filled with family recipes and some non-family related (yet some of my favs) recipes. So I got to thinking I should really share this non-family related one with you all. It's my sister, Meg's fault! She introduced me to this stuff and oh hell...It's

It's been awhile since I've blogged again but I have a good excuse! Sick kids and a bit of shop chaos. So my little Baby Bean developed pneumonia which sent us on a few trips to Urgent Care. It seems it's anyone's guess as to whether the RSV he had before has anything to do with it. We're guessing that the RSV weakened his lungs a bit and then he got a touch of a cold which got worse and then

I can't begin to tell you how absolutely addicted to this series I truly am. I love reading, always have. However, I can honestly say that I have never in my life been so completely engrossed with a single book, let alone a whole series of books. I find that I feel so emotionally attached to the characters it's simply unreal to me. I've laughed out loud, cried, smiled, got angry, annoyed...you

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Kimber, the color rainbow and the number 2.1. Recently Berleen and I discovered the allure of the Twilight series. Have you ever been sucked in to the latest "thing"? (Like Harry Potter, the movie Titanic, social networking, etc. etc. etc.)Honestly, this is the first book series that has completely sucked me in.

Well the boys are off spending the day with their dad, so it's just me and the younger munchkins. Since the boys are gone for the day (although they left a few "Mom will you do..." requests) my Angel Face is having her High School Musical day. She will watch all three movies and watch the outtakes of each one. I will have the music stuck in my head until at least midweek. Not that I can really

It dawned on me the other day that storm season is soon approaching here in Minnesota. Needless to say I'm stoked to see what this season brings. So while thinking about this new season I went looking through my photos from this past storm season and came across some sky/cloud pics I haven't shared with you all just yet. No particular reason why but here they are :)

So I'm sure most of you are curious as to what One Cup at a Time is all about. Why'd I choose that name? Well for a few reasons actually. One reason was because when you are a single mom with kids (4 living, in my case) some days...hell most days, are so crazy with this and that and all you can do is take it...one cup (of coffee) at a time. Sometimes it's a sippy cup at a time.Now not to be

1. What is your favorite type of soda (if you drink soda)? Cherry Coke2. Do you believe in astrology? If so, what does your sign say about you? Sure, why not? Seems pretty accurate most times.3. Who is John Galt? I have no idea honestly. However, according to Wikipedia, John Galt is a fictional character in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged. Although he is absent from much of the text, he is the

Every time I even start to think about getting a new "do" I chicken out or go back and forth over what kind of new "do" to get. I like this but I don't like that. I want to keep the length but then what's really changing about the new "do"? Not much! Back in the day it was holy hair sprayed and big poofy 80's hair. Hey! It was the style at the time.

Let me tell you...it's been one crazy day after another around here. It seems like I've been nonstop running to the doctors office or the pharmacy for one thing or another. First my little man developed (or whatever you'd call it) RSV. As many of you moms and dads know this is not a fun illness and can land a baby (let alone a newborn) right into the hospital if it gets bad enough. My little B

Personally, I think it's an over commercialized holiday and a stupid day overall. No it's not because I'm Anti-Valentines Day because I'm a single parent and don't have a significant other in my life, it's just how I feel and always have. Sure it was nice to be wined and dined on this holiday when I did have someone in my life. I wont deny it. I just find it kinda dumb that we need a set day to

Hello again everyone! I know, I know...it's been while since I last blogged. My apologies for that but you see...I've been a wee bit busy. Seems that my body decided it was time to give birth sooner rather than later. So as I sit down to blog to you a bit my boobs have also decided to start leaking. Figures. Ack!

I'm usually not one who rings in the New Year in any special way. However, this year I have a different feeling about the New Year all together. This past year was a year of living and learning and a whole lot of reflecting. I've accomplished a great many things in the past year. Granted they are nothing that most would consider great accomplishments but they are pretty big deals to me. I've

I hate it! I'm losing my mind, I swear. Everyone tells me I should be happy to have a reason to be stuck in bed all day and that I'll wish later that I would have enjoyed it more. HA! I highly doubt that. See, I'm an on the go kinda person. I don't like to just lay around all day (unless of course it's of my own free will) and do nothing. I like to have control of my life and call the shots as

I'm sure just like me, alot of you (especially moms and dads) get tired of the same old same old for dinner. Well I am always looking for yummy simple and easy meals for my munchkins. Therefore...whatever I come across I will surely share with all my blogger friends. Check this one out! I found this on the...ready for this? WALMART website!

So now that I'm gradually getting back into the swing of things, I decided to get back into participating in the fun meme's I was doing on a regular basis. One of which is still a fav of mine...but of course, it's SkyWatch Friday :) Photographing the skies and just weather in general is a passion of mine. Sadly half the time I am without my camera.

Alright, so awhile back I had talked about sharing some of my favorite recipes and such. Well as I sit here in my bed (cuz I have to) I got to thinking of some of the things I wanted to share. Obviously since I am due to have this wee little man soon it struck me that I have a homemade baby wipes recipe. It's not just a good recipe for wiping that precious baby bottom but can be kept in the car

Now that I'm home and more comfortable I can finish up where I left off. That's right...I'm finally home. After 6 days in the hospital and a week of getting used to being home and NOT being able to do anything other than resent this whole bedrest thing, I'm in the mood to blog some.As I had said in my last entry, things did not go as I had thought they would upon going in to get checked out, Here

As many of you know and or have read, I was admitted to the hospital on Monday evening. So here's the story and how it came to be that I am still here. Monday was a pretty low key day. Typical day to day stuff really followed by winding down after dinner with the kids. I had recorded Bill Cosby: Himself on the DVR, so we sat down and watched that together. Laughing pretty good a few times to

Alright, I know...I've been horrible lately about keeping up with my blog. It's that crazy time of year where holidays and old man Winter are literally right around the corner. Weatherization needs to take place, Thanksgiving meals need to be planned and then there is the wonderful trips Christmas shopping. Not to mention the other special countdown of when my little man will arrive.All the

Have you ever woke up in the morning and for absolutely no reason whatsoever had a song stuck in your head? The song? Well read the title of this post and I'm sure you'll figure it out. I wonder why that happens? Why do we all the sudden get a song stuck in our heads for no apparent reason? Maybe it was brought on from a dream I had and can't remember? Maybe after finally feeling like my house is

Alright so as you all know I'm preggers with munchkin #5 and I'm desperately trying to organize my little home and get ready for when baby arrives. Since this little bean was a big surprise I more or less am having to start from scratch. Starting from scratch can be fun but at the same time I could at times, kick myself for getting rid of all my baby things. With the help of friends and family I

Wow...it's been awhile since really sitting down and posting anything new on my blog. I briefly posted about a good friend and neighbor who passed away. I'd like to share some things with you. Things that I don't talk about much or touch on very often. The recent loss of a wonderful person, a good neighbor and friend and a loving husband and father is what leads me today. With so many thoughts

I know I haven't been here much in the last week and for that I am sorry. A very special person was taken to Heaven this past weekend. Our minds and emotions have been all over the place obviously and we've been doing all that we can for our friend and for their children. I will eventually write more about this, as it has brought me to a place of deep thought and reflection.However, I wanted to

In an attempt to help other bloggers, like myself get the word out there about their blog and what they do, a fellow blogger and I decided to exchange reviews or summaries about our blogs. So without further ado I'm pleased to introduce you to Scarlett and her blog Kids Cradles.Kids Cradles! It's something more than a cozy little corner of your child's bedroom. For me, it's more of a concept.

What a lazy day it's been. I can't say that I haven't gotten anything done exactly, I did work on my shop a little. Alright it took me quite awhile actually. My layout got all screwed up so it took me having to completely redo everything to get it back to how it was supposed to look. Talk about time consuming and annoying. I added some new navigation buttons and a button for my blog. Other than

129 days? For what? I know you're only a little bit confused. However, if you have been reading my blog and noticed my little widget who-dangit in the sidebar you know very well what 129 days and counting means. For those of you who are first time visitors sitting there scratching your head in wonder...it's 129 days and counting before my little bean will make their grand entrance into this

This week we will answer:A simple question. What makes you feel old?Oh good Lord. As if I don't think about this enough. I swear I am reminded daily of all the things that make me feel old. Here are just a few examples of that.I am fighting the gray that consistantly wants to sprout out of my head. Time to DYE! HA! The lovely hair dye that once used to last for 4-5 months...now I'm lucky if it

As some (but not all) of you know, I'm very into storms and the skies. I love taking pictures of the storms rolling in and moving through. Sometimes I'll take pictures of the skies on a clear day just because something I see draws me in. In a weird kind of way I feel some kind of attraction and connection to the skies. Therefore I must click my digi and see what comes out.Click on the SkyWatch

I don't care who... tell us about your grandma, your plumber, the guy down the street that never opens his shades, the broad at the grocery store who you want to shove the plastic bags up her nose, the idiot who cut you off on the freeway yesterday, the little kid who held the door open for you and you were so in shock at the

The boys had a great first day of school!! They both remembered where their lockers and classrooms were (At least for mom it is) and they both found that they had a lot of the same classmates as they did last year. Perfect! They were actually BOTH (My oldest is a 4th grader and last year hated school) excited! It's odd to me...kinda. Maybe it's just because it was the first day and they were

For the last month I've been counting down the days until my wonderful, adorable little rugrats go back to school. I'm surprised but I've made it this far without losing my mind completely. How? By the grace of God himself, no doubt. I'm SO excited!! For them...of course. I'm sure this school year will prove to be good for them...and me. Tuesday is the big day!

So I've been talking with Ber about different ideas and designs for my shop. I think we may have stumbled onto something in our little discussion. I'm jumping on the Halloween (not the movie...yet) early bandwagon and running with it. Here are a few of my latest designs and believe me there are many more in the works.

Little Angel Face has been after me for the last year and a half about dance. She wants to do it all I tell ya. This kid is the only kid of mine to be so persistent about wanting to be active and involved in something. She's not interested in getting into just anything... but dance and in the past 6 months, gymnastics too! So after talking to friends and family I decided to go for it, or more

We started to 'bud' in our blouses at 9 or 10 years old only to find that anything that came in contact with those tender, blooming buds hurt so bad it brought us to tears. So came the ridiculously uncomfortable training bra contraption that the boys in school would snap until we had calluses on our backs. Next, we get our periods in our early to mid-teens (or sooner). Along with those budding

It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago when I found out I was pregnant...yet again. Time seems to be going by so fast these days. Although I'm not complaining because I also know that come the 3rd trimester things will not be going fast enough. I'm trying to plan and think ahead as much as possible. See I thought I was done. No more babies, no more diapers, etc. I thought it was a good

Wow, last week really kicked my butt. I swear, even though it's Thursday I'm still recovering. All in all last week went off without a hitch. Although Angel Face was not all to excited about the dentist. She cried and cried and just wouldn't cooperate no matter what I tried to tell her.
