Do You Think Me Offinsive?

Do the words that I speak upset you?

Do you read this blog to keep tabs on what I have going on in my life to try and use this against me?

I ask questions...............

I LOVE ALL MY KIDS!!! All 5 of them!!

I wish that everything is peachy and everything goes the way it should for my children. Hayle made the Quest honor roll. (93.2 GPA) Ciera is reading SO GOOD!!! Dallas is just so happy to learn anything new. Lizzy knows how to count in Spanish. Abbigail is standing and saying her first words. But one thing that my 3 Step children need is their Mother. I want them to have that. Does that make me a bad Step Mother for wanting their biological mother to help and step it up.

I guess what would make me a bad step mother is that I have high expectations for people and believe that everyone is able to make their lives better. I guess I should not think that about some people. I guess I should not tell all my children that no matter what happens, if a door shuts and window always opens. Because if I do that, they might think badly of someone.

If you don't like what I have to say or how I feel........... bring it up with me. Or you can resist the urge to look at my blog and mind your own business!! Peace Out, Sweet Dreams, and All that Jazz. My Blog is for me to express myself, not to make you happy!!

Welcome to Wonderland

I am having a very hard time lately with how I should approach a conversation with my husbands Ex and the mother of my step children. She hardly ever sees them, Never takes them for a weekend, and thinks that coming over to MY house to visit with the kids for 30 min 2 days a week is good parenting. Hayle cries cause she wants her mother to pick her up from school and just spend time with them.

 Their mother does not have a job, does not pay child support, and really has no excuse for NOT acting like a mother. If she thinks just staying away is good parenting than she just needs to sign over her rights. I hate having to comfort the kids because she can't step it up a little. I don't like to see them hurt and cry!!

I think she should go for her GED, but she says that she just can't pass the test cause she didn't 7 yrs ago when she took it last. HELLO...... you had kids running around. I know how hard it is to study with kids running around. But now she is not doing anything so why not use her time, that she doesn't use on her kids, to make her life better.

These are all questions that I want to bring up to her but How to do it, I don't know?!? Welcome to MY Wonderland!!

Color of the Day and Quotes of a 4 yr old!!

The color of the Day is red and was brought to you by Omnicef. The wonderful Antibiotic that the ER doctor prescribed my 7 month old and this just happens to be the 3rd one in 3 weeks. We are trying to get over a double ear infection, tonsillitis, and an upper respiratory infection. I normally read all the paperwork that comes with the medications but I had class last night and was in a rush to get to school as soon as Hubby was home. I woke up this morning to some RANK infant gas and when I changed her diaper, it was an even bigger surprise. Her poo was a reddish color. Now needless to say, I started to freak out. All my schooling started kicking in and I was thinking of every possible reason why this could happen. I couldn't find the papers that came with the medicine, called my hubby freaking out asking him what she ate while I was at school, and called the Dr. to see what she said. I was about to call the hospital ER when I found the paper work and in the first couple of lines under side effects it says, "This medicine may cause your stools to turn a reddish color, especially if you take iron products. This is harmless.". But the adrenaline is still pumping. So I have to call the Dr. back and tell them never mind. I could not breastfeed my daughter so she is on formula which had iron supplements in it................ I guess I could use this excess adrenaline to clean..........

Quote of the Day: 4yr old daughter:,"Momma, where are you going?" Me:,"To the bathroom, Watch your cartoons." Her:,"If you need help call me okay Momma!!" ME:, "Okay hun, I will." hehehehehe :)

Just a recipe that I thought I would put down for you!!

Salsa Verde:

This is my personal recipe for tomatillo salsa and it is SO good!! Not too hot, but you still get that pepper taste!!

1 dozen med sized tomatillos with paper covering off and cut in fourths
1 whole sweet yellow onion with paper covering off
6 whole garlic cloves with the outer paper skin off
2 habenero peppers with seed taken out
2 jalepeno peppers with seed taken out of 1
2 tbsp of fine sea salt
1 bunch of cilantro leaves roughly chopped

Blanch cut tomatillos (drop in boiling water and take out after a min, then move to a ice water bath)
place drained tomatillos in food processer. Cut both ends off the onion and cut the onion into forths. Place the onion, garlic, peppers, cilantro, and sea salt in the food processer. Process until mixture is smooth and no lumps. (that is how my family likes it!!) You can always add peppers or take away peppers. The same goes for the cilantro. This process should only take 30 min at the most and that includes the prep work and getting the water boiling in the pot. Great idea for baskets during the holidays!! If you wish to can for storage, you just follow the normal canning instructions! ENJOY!!!

It's not you..... It's me!!!

Have you ever wondered why the phase, "It's not you, It's me!", came about? I have. But, the more important question is have you ever heard it from a past significant other? Doesn't that phrase just get on your wrong side!! Of course it's me you idiot!! I am not the one who thinks there is something wrong. Or maybe it is you and your diluted, self-obsessed meander of who you think you are.

I haven't heard those words lately from anyone, but I was watching a movie and that was all the guy could say. Really?? Is that the best line someone could come up with. I know I am not a writer, but at least I would have to balls to tell the truth and not use those words seeing as though it has hurt so many women throughout the ages. All you would have to say is the truth and not beat around the bushes.

Maybe that is what's wrong with today's society. They think if they tell a white lie, no one will ask questions and just assume that all is going well. Maybe, politicians should just let it all out. But then again, who actually wants a politician that will tell the truth. Everyone wants some warm and fuzzy, pink bunny to tell them about the recession that we are in. Yeah, I want a guy to come out and say, "We screwed up bad. But the good news is that we learn from our mistakes and know how to fix it!". The bad part of this is that all we are getting is a politician that says they don't know what happened and they are trying to figure out how to fix the problem.

So I say to you............ It's not me, It's YOU!! This is to all the people who think they can do no wrong and their crap smells like roses. Here's you wake up call. Bullshit stinks and people make mistakes. Take pride in the mistakes that you make and maybe on day you can look back to see the lessons you have learned to pass down to your children.

Next time that you hear the phrase, "It's not you, It's me", Just stare blankly at them and say...... "your right, It is you.......... cause it can't be me!! Maybe You should work on that and when your done, don't call me. I don't do 'work-in-progress' cases!!"
