Mothering Many

Lookie what we had!

Tomorrow is my birthday, and my girls put together a party for me. I declare, when I lit the candles, half the alarm systems in the county went off. It was a white and red velvet and chocolate cake, worthy of Alice in Wonderland! We had a good time, with good friends and good food.

And you have to see the top of this cake:

“We love you, even if u r old, LOL”, it says.
Seems that Diva has inherited her mother’s sense of humor, LOL!

It’s been awhile since I gave a decent update here, I know. The kids are fine, I am fine, we are all fine. And I mostly mean that in the way that doesn’t include the anagram.

I’ve been busy working, and have in fact even lost five pounds without using Stimerex ES, just watching what I eat and keeping moving at work. I come home tireder, but the way I look in my clothes is worth it, LOL. If I could just get rid of the last of my “baby roll”, I’d be one happy girl. Of course, I wonder if after eight babies, I will ever get entirely rid of it, no matter how small the rest of me gets. Can human skin really stretch to the itching point EIGHT times and ever be expected to regain it’s former size and shape? Hope springs eternal, though

Halloween will be here before you know it., so it’s a good idea to start looking for kid’s costumes, today. Selected themes and characters are limited in quantity and based on demand, could run out of stock very quickly. This is particular true with kids sizes 4-6 which is by far the most popular. Determine who you will be buying for; baby or toddler costumes, girls, boys and what their size is. What is your childs favorite character…is it a princess or a super hero? There are many different styles, sizes and accessories available now in stock. So if you don’t get a start on it now, your child will undoubtedly give you that frumpy look of dissatisfaction as they wear a costume two sizes too big.

Instead of purchasing the same old regular style costume, pick up a deluxe style costume package, which includes extra accessories such as tiaras and muscle chests, and make your child’s Halloween a day to remember. If your daughter likes Hannah Montana, there are several types of costumes for you to look at. Hannah Montana costumes including a gold metallic jacket with the Hannah Montana logo, a matching tunic top, black cropped leggings, and a glittery belt. Costumes come in different sizes ranging in sizes from 4-10. Stars Wars costumes are always a very popular year in and out for boys and girls, babies and toddlers. A Jedi Knight is great for the hero, but Darth Vader is by far the most popular for Halloween. Kids love the dark mask, as well the light saber accessories. Princess Leia is still a classic choice for all girls and little princesses. Star Wars costumes all are available to babies, too! http://HalloweenCostumes4Kids.com/

Do you know that people make messes? And many people make many messes? And would you believe that I do not function well in a mess? I just can’t seem to think around it! And then it is just too overwhelming to try to clean it since I can;t even get my brain to function. And I get mad.

So tonight, I was unreasonably angry for no discernible reason. Oh, I had five different things I could “blame” it on, but none of them quite fit that unreasonable level of angry. And then I realized what it was. Over the weekend, we had done some laundry and not had time to fold it. So, I had stashed it in my room. In the floor. In the middle of the floor of my ONE CLEAN ROOM. I make it a point to keep my room clean so I have a spot that I can think and work, and I had let that get violated. And my bathroom was a mess, too! It took me about 20 minutes to deal with those clothes and the bathroom, and you know what? It was as if I had given my anger magic diet pills. It was gone.

Now, if I could just spread than cleanliness to the rest of the house, life would be grand.
