Very Strange

Lately i've noticed a strange thing happening.And for me too notice it must have been happening alot because i am usually oblivious to these types of things.Men are starting to open doors for me.Not exactly men i know,but not completely unknown either.I live in a very small town so even if you don't know someone you've seen them and they have seen you.The fact that they are opening doors is not strange in itself.However 6 months ago me+door=nothing.
So what has changed?I have lost 50+ lbs.After the last baby was born we decided not to have anymore.Not a hard decision really since we have 6.But i was a bit hefty.Having 4 babies in 5 years will do that.
Since we weren't having anymore i started seriously dieting.I was determined to get back into all my great clothes.I really had not considered this side effect.Doors open magically,the grocery boy follows me to my car to help load,men are taking notice!
I know i should look at this as a good thing,but i never really cared what other people thought.I just wonder at what weight do women(or men)become a non-entity?At what size do you lose the right to basic curtesy?

My Big Mouth

More on spongebob.To everybody who read my post yesterday and took it the way it was meant-glad you got a laugh.It is nonsense.To those who took offense i have 1 word.MEDICATE!I did not mention any particular religious leader.I did read the links some tight-ass was kind enough to leave for me.They did not change my opinions.I did not have an epiphany.
No,school is really not the appropriate place for children to learn about diversity.It is a parents responsiblity to teach their child about all the wonderful differences that make each person special.However not all children have parents that take the time or put forth the effort.Sad but true.
A dilemma to be sure.I don't mind admitting i don't know what the right solution is.
I don't believe watching the video is harmful to my children,nor do i believe it will in any way influence their opinions on gays/straights or what makes up a family.For the record,i believe a family has more to do with love,caring and respect than gender.
So there!

Spongebob is Gay

Oh my GOD!!Spongebob is gay.And here i just thought he was annoying!I wasn't even going to mention this cause i just think it's stupid,but everywhere i go it seems to be a major topic of conversation.I think what spongebob does in the privacy of his own pineapple is his business.Seriously,i think it's great that the so-called religious leaders have enough free time to police childrens cartoons.I sure wish i did!

Movies & Books

This weekend in anticipation of a long weekend snowed in with 6 kiddies i bought 3 new movies.
"Cat Woman" of course for the hubby.Turns out i was wrong!It wasn't awhole lot of Halle Berry in spandex.It was awhole lot of Halle Berry in leather.It didn't start out to bad,but it got ridiculus really fast.The best thing i could say about this movie?There was a scene where she was walking along a roof ledge and she had on the coolest pair of shoes!
"Without a paddle" not as good as i hoped,but it wasn't the worst movie i've seen.It did have it's moments and i did laugh.My hubby liked it more than i did.Hmmm,3 guys,beer,chicks i wonder.
Cellular" this was really a good movie!Kim Bassinger was great and if you like action this is for you.The action starts within the first couple of min. and just keeps going.
I'm almost done "Song of Susannah" by Stephen King.It's good but i'm not enjoying it as much as the others.Maybe it's because i know it's almost the end of the line.Oh well.

My Shame

Oh the shame.It started out so innocent.All day friday i listened to the weather forecast as it got steadily worse.So as soon as hubby got home from work i grabbed my coat and like a good little lemming and ran to the grocer for milk and bread.There were other essentials in there but as long as you have milk and bread everythings okay,RIGHT?
Since i was going to be trapped in the house all weekend with 6 demon kidlets i also decided to stop at the mall and stock up on other essentials.Rope,chains,whips no no no!Bad mommy!I actually got them some new board games,puzzels and a ton of movies.
This is where my story goes horribly wrong.I came out of the mall,turned on the car,started driving and found myself singing at the top of my lungs.TO VANILLA ICE!!Oh the shame!I have to admit i love that song,something about "ice,ice baby".Don't laugh at me,you know there is a song out there with no redeming qualities other than it get's you going.What is it?Go ahead admit it!You'll feel better.

More snow

We are getting more snow.Yuck!The only good thing to come out of all this miserable weather is hubby will be home all weekend.We have been remodeling for almost 7 months now but all the hours he's been working i'm doing most of it myself.Not this weekend.I've got a list as long as my arm.Lowes is delivering another truck load of drywall and supplies.
As i'm writing this a lightbulb just went on above my head.You don't think he's working all these hours to get out of helping?NAH,he would'nt do that.
Moving on,i finished "Incubus Dreams" by Laurell Hamilton.I love her books,but the sex scenes are getting abit out of hand.I have nothing against sex (6 kids:duh) but i like alittle plot in between.Other than that it was an entertaining read.

The deer are out to get me!!

The deer are out to get me.I know this for a fact.There was a big meeting in the woods somewhere and i just know they have my picture on posters like osama.
A few years back i hit a deer.I really creamed it.It was the night before thanksgiving and i was in a big hurry to get home.Pies to bake and all.I was driving way to fast,came up over a hill and there he was.No more deer and no more car.
Ever since the deer have been gunning for me.They jump out in front of me like kamakazi's on a mission.I know their all sitting in the forest laughing while i'm sitting on the side of the road shaking after another near miss.
It has gotten so bad everyone in my family is making fun of me.My 4 y/o will sit in his car seat and every so often i'll hear "mommy,look it's a deer" then he laughs manically.
I have become the elmer fudd of the driving world.
