I love my teenagers!

Blickity, blickity blue (MSW) - this is another one I use when I'm frustrated.  Use any naughty word of your choice as a substitute.

I love my teenager.  Macaroni.  I love him.  This, however, is not a statement.  This is a reminder.

The other day, my lovely teen left for a basketball game.  In my car.  In a hurry.  And not paying attention.  His first accident occurred.  The basketball hoop and the side view mirror were casualties in the crime.  The basketball hoop survived with no scratches or harm.  My side view mirror, not so much.  It is holding on by a thread.  Not really a thread, some wire.  And now, when I go anywhere, the mirror bangs against the car.  It is more than just annoying.  Hence, the reminder, I love my teenager.

I will have to take the car in to get it fixed.  Macaroni is not too happy that he will have to pay for it.  But that is the curse of a teenager!  Get a freaking job so you can pay for the damage to the car!!

This reminds me of a story that I heard of years ago.  It is one of those stories that teaches a lesson.  The story is short and sweet and goes like this.  Never, I mean NEVER, talk about what you will do with unexpected money.  You know, like a tax return, a bonus, an inheritance.  Never talk about it in front of appliances, in your house or in your car.  You see, the fridge, the TV, the roof and the car, they hear everything.  They have ears and totally have it out for you.  For when you talk about the money in front of it (them), they will break.  And break your heart because the money will be gone!

We got our tax return the other day.  We must have talked about it in the car.  Blickity, Blickity blue!

Ultrasound on the twins!!

Shiz (MSW) - Another term for a sh**.

This was my facebook status a couple days ago.  I am so evil.  I wanted to see how many people would think I was knocked up.  I'm not by the way.  I just like to stir up trouble.

But I did have an ultrasound.  On the twins, the girls, the huge tracks of land, the bodacious ta-ta's, the boobs.  I've been getting mammograms since I was 35 because of my family history.  Last year was the first year I was called back in after my mammogram.

When you get a call from the doctor's office saying there was something suspicious on the mammogram, you get a little nervous.  Of course, you think the worst  --  I have cancer and I'm dying.  But I'm here to tell you, don't stress!  I knew my family history of breast cancer, so I knew it was a possibility.  But I also know that they are so careful about the tests.  If they see anything strange, they want you to come back and get an ultrasound. The worst is, they call and ask you to come in within the next day or two!  Stress!

This year, again, I was called in because I was suspicious.  I knew it was probably the same thing.  But I thought I would make everyone laugh, so I put that on my facebook page.

I didn't have to worry!  They found several cysts in both of the "girls."  Mommy Dearest hates that term, the girls, the twins, etc...  Sorry Mom, it had to be said!  Anyway, they found several cysts.  Some literally were twins, like on top of each other.  How's that for irony!  All are benign and non-cancerous.  The curse of my big boobs!

I am obnoxious though.  When the doctor, a man, came in to double check the ultrasound techs findings, I said to him, "I usually get dinner and movie before anyone checks on the girls!"  Yep, I'm a little naughty.  He did laugh though.  He said a good sense of humor is great when people come in.  Most are too uptight!

All is good!  But get your mammograms!  They save lives!!

Issues!

Gopple Dampin Fruit Dumpsuits (MSW) - this could be anything you imagine it to be!

My life has been out of sorts as of late.  You know how excited I was that I got a laptop for Christmas?  Well, something was wrong with it. Gopple Dampin Fruit Dumpsuits! I had to send it back to the manufacturer.  It was so sad!  3 weeks without my beloved laptop!

It was forever!  I had to go to work without the internet right next to me!  Can you imagine?!  Next thing you know, I'll have to go to work dressed and with makeup on.  The horror!  Let me be clear on that, I do go to work with clothes on, just maybe not work appropriate attire.  Honestly, I work in my pajama's!  The joy of my job!

So there are my issues.  No computer, no internet access, no facebook, no you tube.  I mean, really, can life get any worse.  To actually have to work while I'm working?!  That is way too much to ask!  Yes, I do have a phone that I could use for that stuff.  Or my husbands computer.  But I want my OWN computer with a big screen!!  I'm such a princess!

Now I can fill you in on all the details of my life.  Hmmm........sadly, there isn't much!  My sister, Rocky Mountain High is in town.  My doggie nephew, Jake, is staying with me while she is up in the canyons skiing.  My dog tried to steal Jake's bed again.  Stupid dog!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful Valentine's day.  I bought chocolates for my family.  When they come home, there is a sign on my kitchen table that says "To the Loves of My Life, Happy Valentine's Day!"  There are boxes of chocolates for everyone and the table is covered in hearts and little "I love you" confetti.  Yes, I am the best mother and wife ever!
