I Gooooo Back

Today is Flash Back Friday hosted by Jenn her button is on my page its the one that says my crazy life Idk her link and she wont answer so yea haha. Love ya Jenn

This flash back is gonna take us all the way back to 1995 or somewhere around there. I remember when it used to rain frogs. Litlle itty bitty cute frogs. Everytime it would rain at my nanas Jenn and I would run around scooping those suckers up like nothing. It was like they literally fell out of the sky! Hundreds!! Neways so we would pick up our frogs and put them in this big black tube thing. Only to find the next morning they were all either gone or dead. But it didnt matter because as soon as it would rain we were at it again.  Today I wouldnt dare touch a frog ewww not even those little itty bitty cute frogs although, I do wish it would rain frogs again.  Id love to see it. Crazy how time changes you isnt it??

Muffin man please come take my muffin

So today is the day I post about my diet hosted by http://www.familyofshortsblogspot.com/

So this is week two of the challenge. And I have yet to get my scale. Bare with me Ill get there. I dont know how Im going to know how Im doing without that thing. But I can tell you this I have been eating less and I have been drinking more water. I plan to conitnue this routine. My new three steps are 1. Do my arm exercises 3 times a week seriously it only takes like 5 minutes and its supposed to be garuanteed to work. 2. Ashley get your butt on that treadmill and 3. Stop eating peanut butter with crackers and a glass of milk at night before bed. This one is going to be the hardest for me to break I love my crackers n milk :( So if I must eat late at night Im going to stick to fruit. Im going to put a picture of those skinny models all over my house for motivation lol okay not really if I do Im sure Ill be playing darts. Oh the joys of dieting. I hate it but Im determined to get in shape and feel better about myself. To me its not so much about losing a whole lot of weight its more about being healthy and energetic then with that the weight will come off and that will be okay too. Good luck to all who are taking this journey with us!!

It's Friday Ya'll

So today is the first day of Flash Back Friday hosted by my kick ass cousin Jenn over @ http://mysanityranawaywithmymind.blogspot.com/ go check hers out and link up!!








I was trying to decide lastnight what FlashBack to post and I decided Id go with a memory I have that still makes me miss my childhood. When I was a little girl my grandpa ran a wreckin yard. He would push me around in my little red wagon to go on a "treasure hunt" (all the money from the old cars.) Little did I know we ran out of money from the cars years ago and he was the one who would throw the change on the floor for us to find. We never knew and he never told until we got older he was the reason we got to continue our treasure hunt which was one of my favorites. I dont think my Papa knows how dear I hold that memory to my heart. Every single time I see a little red wagon it takes me back!! Oh how I miss those simple days.





Today is also Feel Good Friday hosted by http://www.thegirlnextdoorgrowsup.com/ :) Shout out to everyone!! I love Fridays! Im telling you they are my favorite day next to Saturday. Actually I think I like Friday better than Saturday!! Neways, lets get to the good stuff 5 things that make me feel mmm mmm good!! Here we go...

Dear Someone.

So today is Dear Someone hosted by ShortMama @ http://www.familyofshortsblogspot.com/ after you read mine go check out hers and others.

Dear Jenn,
 Today Im writing to you. I just want to tell you thank you so much for helping me with my blog. And I dont mean a little I mean ALOT. I can hardly keep up with you but Im trying and if it wasnt for you Id never get linked up or have my button or even know what I was doing lol. So a big THANK YOU to you dear!!

Your grateful cousin



Dear Creater of Mondays,
I seriously wish you would reconsider Monday as part of the weekend. I mean 2 days off and 5 days of work hardly seems fair. We work hard we need an extra weekend day. I know this wouldnt be hard to do. We spend to much time at work and not enough time at home with our families. I just thought Id bring that to your attention. Thank you

Signed,
Wishful Thinking.

My thoughts are overflowing

So glad its Random Tuesday hosted by http://www.theunmom.com/2010/04/shortest-tuesday-ever-random-tuesday.htm   my thoughts are overflowing today.

• West Texas Wind is ridiculous...I cant work in my yard because of the dirt blowin tumble weed flyin stinkin weather.
• Im ready for a long weekend... and I mean looooong.
• Why do eggs stink?
• My daughter is about to be 6.... why does time have to go by so fast? I remember when I first brought her home from the hospital sometimes it feels like yesterday.
• Be sure to take time to enjoy the little things in life.
• Its a good idea to do one good deed a day.
• Whats the deal with laundry..seriously...as soon as I get all caught up Im behind again. This might have something to do with my daughter thinking she has to change 5 times a day. I dont know. But I do know I've decided itll never be caught up caught up so I dont let it stress me out anymore.
• I have to stop eating all that Easter candy it isnt helping my diet at ALL.
• I love air freshner it reminds me of a place Ive never been and want to visit.
• I have been doing good one cup of coffee a day and the rest of the time water or juice anything besides coke.
• I cant seem to figure out why Im so tired all the time here lately.
• Lexi cat is going to have kittens and dont get me wrong I love animals, but I hate baby kittens who cant use a liter box...ewww its going to be so messy I going to try n make sure she has them in the bathroom. You think if she doesnt and I move her and them to the bathroom she would still care for them?

That isnt all of my random thoughts, but Im going to say thats enough or Ill be here all day haha. I hope yall have a great day.

Feel Good Friday

Hey everyone its friday!! You know what the means...Feel Good Friday hosted by http://www.thegirlnextdoorgrowsup.com/ after you read mine link up with her and read her and others alike.

So every Friday is Feel Good Friday for me I work half a day, I go spend the afternoon with one of my dearest girlfriends and catch up on what happened through out the week, and of course that means the weekend is here no work and all play! Other than that heres some other things that make me feel good.

1. Long bubbles baths with candles and some music.
2. Sweet Tea :)
3. My morning coffee
4. All the art work and letters my babygirl writes me
5. Playing with my dogs
6. Opening my wallet and finding money I didnt know I had..heck yes!!
7. SundayFundayJadaBug Day! ( for those of you who dont know its the day I keep my little niece)
8. Talking to my sister ( shes like my child only now that we are grown I can go back to being more of a big sister but I can still bust out the momma on her if need be..im just sayin... lol love you sister!!)
9. The fact that the Good Lord gave me another day on earth!

Well there it is fellow bloggers. Hope you enjoy. Have a great friday!!

If this isnt true I dont know what is....

Now I'm not sure if its the same for dads n their sons but let me tell you one thing motherhood has taught me. Once you become a mom of a beautiful little girl everything you own is fair game and NOTHING I mean NOTHING you have is ever all yours anymore.
They take your favorite shoes and walk around the house you remind them to put them back when they are done bc they are mommies favorite shoes and sure enough a hour later the dog has chewed them up.
They get ahold of your favorite perfum and spray the entire bottle all over their little bodies.
And your favorite necklace forget it they accidently broke it trying to take it off.
They play dress up in your favorite shirt and spill red juice down the front.
They wash barbies hair with an entire bottle of shampoo bc barbies hair was really dirty.
And their idea of their hair finally being perfect is ten minutes later and a full bottle of hairspary you just bought that morning.
Your favorite ring gets dropped in the sink and down the drain when she was washing her tiny hands before dinner.
She uses your make up for art and she wants your pillow because its better than hers.
I can only imagine how it will be when she's 16 whatever the years bring and whatever gets destroyed or altered a little down the road I'm ready for and excited for the journey.
She has brought 5 years so far of love and laughs and I'm so thankful for her I can't wait to see what she does next.

Rearranged

So this weekend was eventful and hectic. My daughter and I decided to take on the job of repainting her room. To begin with it was supposed to be pink and green. Well we decided thats to much pink..yes you heard me right that did come out of my mouth...suprising I know! Well Lexi was heartbroken and I told her I promise when it gets done you are going to love it! And sure enough she did. My poor sister had to mix the green paint 3 times. But we finally got the right color green so all her hard work payed off (Thanks sister & sorry about it taking 3 times). The brown is a little dark but I think itll be okay Ive decided the pinks and greens lighten it up a little bit. Lexi was actually a BIG help.We did however have paint everywhere including Lexi's hair I still dont know exactly how that happened but after a long day of hard work heres a picture of her new and improved room!

Shout Out

So real quick I just want to give a shout out to my cousin Jenn thank you so much for all your hard work on my blog!! You did an amazing job and I love it!! Hows that for feel good friday!! :) Her button is on my blog (my crazy life) go check her out !! I hope everyone has a great day and a good weekend!

Let the rant begin

So Ive been having to play on my phone for 3 days bc my loving, considerate, never selfish finacee has done nothing but play some stupid video game!! You heard me 3 days!! Ive been very patient about this because he usually doesnt play his nintendo often. But really my patients are running out and if he so much as looks at the dead gum playstation Im going to throw it out the window for his dogs new chew toy. Harsh I know!!

Anyways back to the point so Ive been playing on my phone. I came across this site that does like random confessions. And just let me say I thought I had problems sheesh. Some of those confessions blew my mind I was like really did you just say that. Some were funny, some were creepy and some were just sad. I couldnt believe some of this things people would say out loud but then again if its anonymous what do you have to loose right? Well dont you think if someone confessed something really bad they could still find you? I do! And what exactly is the point of it anyways most of those people are like I sure hope you get on a realize which confession is mine..really... how are they going to do that its anonymous unless you sign your name honey your chances are slim to none and if you really want them to know that bad you surely would have just came out and told them.

I suppose thats enought ranting for now. I have to get back to work.

Random Thoughts

http://www.theunmom.com/

Why is it the later at night you eat the more hungry you are when you wake up? Shouldnt this be the other way around?

When will I stop hating her!! Seriously I wont ever like her! But I hate her! I cant seem to forgive her why?

Which brings up another point and no the last line has nothing to do with my mom or anyone in my family for that matter. Neways Ive finally realized that my parents divorce has effected me in more ways than I knew! I liked it much better before I came to this realiztation. I perfer to stay lost in my own world.

Whats the big deal about video games seriously. I get that they are fun on occasion but playing it  for 2 days straight is ridiculous. I want to watch TV.

Why do I have to repeat myself 12 times before anyone in the house actually listens? (which by this point Im already mad and lost my marbles)

Im really hungry!!
Im going to get on a exercise plan soon I promise!

Why have I felt so frigid the last two days? Can we just go back to normal please....o wait....normal...hmm I doubt there is anythinng normal about me!!

I guess Im done for now.

A letter to two of my favorites

Dear Lexi and Joey:

Hello my loves! I hope this day is treating you wonderful even though the weather sucks. Anyhow let me just get straight to the point. Im sure you are wondering why Im writing the two of you well here it goes....Im concerned with your lack of intrest in house work!! I see you have many other intrest such as keeping your noses glued to the TV. You two wouldnt even know if the house caught on fire when yall are watching TV. You two leave your clothes all over the house and when I say ALL Im not exagerrating. I just dont understand how you can take it off so easily but yet you cant seem to get it into the laundry basket you'd rather it stay in the middle of the floor until I come around to pick it up. Its also not hard to pick up your plate and empty it and stick it in the sink. Im starting to see a pattern....(maybe I live with two children as opposed to one..hmmm) the two of you are so much more alike than you realize. Lexi its fine that you love to paint honey I love to paint too, but when you leave it all over the kicthen table and walk off and head for you new journey and leave a mess there as well this is not good my child. Also cleaning your room does NOT consists of throwing everything under the bed and in the closet. I just thought Id bring that to your attention babygirl :) Joey please try to be better about the trash. The trash isnt going to take itself out although sometimes I wish it could because honey you take to long to get it outside and half the time I end up taking it out and I believe this should be a mans job.

I just want the two of you to know that if Mommy had a little more help around the house she may not be so tired after getting off of work and coming home and cleaning everyone elses messes by herself. If the two of you would help out a little bit more we may be able to go the park or spend some alone time together or lay in bed and talk for awhile but Mommy is wore out by bedtime she just wants to go to sleep. We could do so much more things together. Im simply just asking for you guys to help just a little that isnt to much to ask. I promise it will benefit us ALL if we ALL help around the house and it would reeeaaallllly benefit you in your favor Joe. :) But instead everyone goes on about there business and lets Mommy worry about it all. Thats okay I still love you both more than all the stars in the whole world.
With All My Love
Momma
