the most discreet way to keep a secret

at 11:00 this morning (you know when I rolled out of bed.... what I was tired and didn't have to go to work - don't judge, you'll overlook it here in a moment) and thought "hey i haven't taken a pregnancy test in 7 days, that could be depressing. let's do it!" I was just at the Dr. last week and he verified i wasn't pregnant (when I questioned why my body is acting weird, his response was "have you ever been this old before?" I told him "there is no need to get rude about it!")

well i have taken, dozens and dozens of these technical little gems so I'm what you may call a "pee-fessional". anyway not the point, point is they are always negative. just that one solitary lonely line mocking me, calling me old and fat, and some other things that are not blog appropriate. I've come to despise these little hope killers so much i won't even buy them at a pharmacy anymore. nope, at $10 a shot, just to kick me right in the uterus, forget it. so now i just grad a handful at the dollar store and stick it to the $10 a stick man!


so as these types of things should be kept private and a secret I won't say another word. (I'll just show you the picture text that got sent to a few, well some, maybe several people)

the difference 6 hours makes

Monday:
before preschool pageant 6:30pm
after puking all over mommy in her bed 12:30am (meet the "throw up bowl")

"throw up bowl" has many uses

just never used for actually throwing up in. you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make her puke in it.

love,
mom

Non-Crappy Starring You! eCards on JibJab

where did you get your fashion foward sense???






"I got it from my Mama!"

jo C.

handmade christmas



unfortunately Jojo's mom did not take the handmade pledge this year. all gifts last year were handmade and i'm still cleaning up the mess. (what? artists are messy- that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it)



that doesn't mean Jojo can't pledge.






all of the gifts she will be giving this year will be made by her own 2 little hands (and cleaned up by mine)




(circles indicate places paint was ALSO found)

just me????

fyi: you are about to read a untechnical rant by a non savvy computer user who wants to use every curse word while breaking stuff (don't say you weren't warned):



I'm getting ready to take a baseball bat to either this computer or go down to adobe systems and get to the root of the problem.

my computer has "had a problem and restarted" no less than 50 times in the last 24 hours! usually during a post, making a slide show, or leaving a comment. you know, things that have to be RE DONE because now they are lost. i have commented on many of your blogs, comments you will never read my witticism that i have painstakingly left you. I'm so sorry, blame stupid adobe!!!

it always says it's adobe flash's fault. i even un-installed it. no change. restart. restart. restart.

is it possible to go crazy due to Internet connection.... or lack there of????

even Dave's computer is doing this! I'm gonna scream!
really? is it just me????
