U Gotta Be Kiddin Me This is a blog about me, my life and my family!

On my way to take my Son to school this morning, I had a achy feeling in one of my teeth.  Its one of my molars.  I don't know what it is, its still lingering.   I thought it was because what I had was too hot, and I know my teeth are sensitive period and always have been. And its amazing how fast life can turn on you, one minute your ok and the next the world you know is totally crushed.  An amazing friend of mine is going thru a difficult time at the moment, and she needs all the support she can get right now.  I told her, no matter what that she's got a shoulder and a ear to talk to.  I am a great listener.  I don't judge or take sides, as I remain neutral in ALL situations. (Little FYI for the people who think I am talking shit, remember that) I have always remain the neutral one and listen to all sides of every situation.  But for my friend, I will have to say it will be my first time not listening to the man's side because frankly I don't really care for this jerk as he totally ruined someone's life by a few choice words that were unacceptable.   So, with me being an understandable person.  I have to be willing to accept the decisions that people make and learn to understand their motives and why.  And being ones friend is not a given, its a gift.

I missed it last week and it totally bugged me.  SO I downloaded it on my iTunes and was able to watch it.  Did I mention my Son has figured out how to download stuff to my iPod touch?  He cracks me up, he downloaded a Fart Machine.  I also bought a movie, my Mom is going to show me how to shrink the movies so I can watch them on my toy.   Sometime this weekend, I am making a oriental meal.  I learned how to make some awesome rice and some cabbage stir-fried in a General Tso's sauce.  OMG, its so good and FAST.  Just make sure instead of water that you use Chicken broth to cook the rice in.  There are new sauces coming out from Pampered Chef called Ginger Wasabi Sauce and Spicy Pineapple-Rum Sauce.  They both are awesome.  So I may try one of those sauces instead of the General Tso's that  I had purchased from the Le Gourmet Chef store.  Well, I am think I am done posting for the night...its my SHOW night.  Oh and I don't answer my phone either on Thursdays.

My Son simply loves pasta with tomato sauce and hamburger meat. Its an easy meal, but he also had his cottage cheese with his. YUCK!!! But he loves it, so by all means he will have some. OH and thanks to my Wonderful Mother, she told me about the iHome for the iPod that is on sale at Walgreens. Not a bad price neither. So now, its sitting here where I can watch my movies, listen to music, and whatever else I choose to do with my AWESOME toy. I still can't thank my Boyfriend enough for buying it for me. I love this time of year especially with income tax time. I get all my bills paid off, then spend on the items needed like new dishes, pots/pans, new bed, and not to forget I bought some Pampered Chef items. I love the bamboo items and especially the new stuff that is coming out but hasn't been released yet. All I have to say is, this stuff they keep coming out with keeps getting better and better. My sample order I rec'd today, the corner to the box was damaged heavily, and two items were missing. So immediately I sent in the adjustment because I was really looking forward to the two items. And since there is a new garlic press, I am giving my other one to my Mom. What people don't realize is, garlic is actually really good for you. So here at my home, we don't use the garlic powder stuff or salt. We use the real thing. It makes things taste so much better, if you know what I mean.

I so can't wait til' our new bed arrives. I know most people have beds with frames and headboards and all. BUT I haven't had that in forever. I don't know what its like to have a frame and a headboard. I am hoping this is my last night of sleeping with the mattresses on the floor. Being that I am not made of money and I don't live above my means of living. I deal with what I got. I don't go asking family for help, even if they had the money I would ask them because I have way too much pride to ask for help. Like I said, I deal with what I have and make due. Its the way life is, how is one to ever learn to be independent upon themselves if they continue to live under their parents and other family members. I mean, seriously. So with the new bed, its an awesome feeling knowing its paid for, with cash and no payments to be made. ITS MINE, OURS...whatever fits. And its beautiful, not too expensive either. But its a good investment. So looking forward to sleeping very well. Oh and too....I was given an opportunity to review a DS Game and we should get the game hopefully by Friday. My Son is so excited to get this chance to review a product and test it before it actually is available from what I was told. So excited.

A dear friend of mine has been the subject of defamation, and of course complete lies and bullshit...it floored her and damaged her spirit. She is a great person and deserves so much more than what she is getting. No one in this world can judge one for being who they are and their beliefs and actually get away with it. I don't feel sorry for the person who did this to my online friend....because they are the ones that have to learn to live with what they have said and done to my friend. I don't want my online friend to think that all people are a$$holes, and that I will stand behind her and support her the best way I can. She has been thru hell and back, and is about to go thru some more. She is due to have surgery again here very soon and needs more than what she is getting. With that being said, people who make accusations should really look within themselves before pointing fingers and start crap. I hope that this person who has been anonymous is ID'd and justice is served. I know if this ever happened to me, and the person is found. I would love to come face to face with the person....and really give them a piece of mind....or better yet.  A phone number to the local Wacky Ward...for a pyschological evaluation.

We had a good weekend, we also stopped off at a Casino located in the heart of Iowa called Riverside. It was a beautiful casino. Both my Mom and my Boyfriend enjoy going to the casinos occasionally. When I say occasionally, its more like a couple times a year. Because like most people, that's a waste of money and I can't afford to give someone else my MONEY. But then again there are people out there who use their child support and go and gamble. Which is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard. But anyway, I notice alot of things and always take in signs. I have never seen a conversion rate optimization chart, at least that's what I thought it said. Or maybe it was one of those charts that has what money is worth from other countries. Well anyway, my Mom walked off with some extra money, in which she turned around and bought Kylin an accessory for his Nintendo DS and also bought a game for herself. She also said now, she has to buy Kailei something as well, because you can't buy for one and not the other. She was so excited to get home that night to see them.

I have updated my "New" Blog. If you would like access to that blog, please let me know and I will send you the link. I am not ready to link these two together just yet. I also placed a order with my Pampered Chef to get some of the new items to be here before they are available to the customers. So I can get to play with them, test them out and have a little fun already. I wish I could share what the new stuff is because some of it is just beautiful. Let's just say, I love Bamboo and their bowls are marvelous.

We spent the day doing some shopping up in Williamsburg, IA. They have the Tanger Outlet store there. We went last weekend as well but needed another set of dishes, so now we have two sets because those sets only have settings for four. So now, its for eight. Yay. Well, we picked up my Mom early in the day granted she isn't a early riser but she did well. We stopped for breakfast, then off to Williamsburg. Our first stop was the Corelle Store. Yes, the plates and dish store. They have TONS of dishes up there and matching glasses, bowls and other items. I started sorting thru all my dishes. I packed up 99% of my plastic dishes. Yes, being a Mom and always having kids around we used those character plates. My Son is now almost 12, and it was time. I think it was my older kid who got upset. The dear Boyfriend was devastated over me throwing out a certain plate he loved to use. Why is it they do that? Well after there we headed back to Coralville, IA., stopped off at a place called Stuff. Its a reconsignment shop where they have tons and tons of gently used items. We were supposed to meet up with my Sister and her family but they decided to go to the mall in Coralville. That place was a headache if you know what I mean. Pain in the ass. We then went and ate. I think we made it home pretty late, around 830ish. SO all in all it was a good day. We discussed all kinds of things and people. And for those trolls people out there who have a conscious and think we talked about you. Your probably right. No need to worry though, it was a short conversation as in...no words..just laughed. On to better conversations and stuff worth talking about, like love and laughter. Seeing the beauty of our kids thru their eyes. If anyone knows me, I see beauty thru eyes. I take alot of pictures of eyes. They are the entrance to ones soul. If anyone knows that...then they must be a Mom. But if you don't look into your children's eyes and learn thru them. Then what the hell are you doing being a parent?
