Does it mean that you are going to get that grill out for the first time begining grilling season? Does it mean summer is here?<br /><div></div><br /><div>Whatever meaning it has for you, please remember the meaning it has to millions of us Americans, our freedom and those precious hereos who fought to preserve it! No matter what your political views or what you think about war, today is a day to celebrate and give thanks to those who fight and have fought for your freedom!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>To often we forget what the "Memorial" in Memorial Day stands for. It goes unreconized or ignored by too many of us who are the recipients of our fallen hereos sacrifice. The day comes and goes and we forget to observe the day as it should be, remembering our family members, loved ones, neighbors, friends and those who came before us!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>My husband is a former Army soldier and I am so proud that he fought for me, and for YOU! I cannot image life with out my soldier and this weekend, I will remember his fellow soldiers and those soldiers who came before him. Not only was a my husband a solider, but so were both my grandfathers and my step-father. I can image this day is bittersweet for them as they all know too many soldiers who who gave up their lives to protect ours!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Please remember them today! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Now go have to some fun!!! Happy Memorial Day!</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/102/DFB1A1C38FD651A482B97BCBC7EEC945.png" /></a></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09826461333415234158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-4453069399912876162010-05-27T19:38:00.004-04:002010-05-28T09:01:32.851-04:00SYTYCD<div>My favorite show(other than its always sunny in philidelphia), so you think you can dance, was on last night! Yeeessss!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I love this show! Dont ask me why because my moves are only sweet when Im drinking and delusionsal. Ive been know to do a little running man and the carlton every once in awhile. I also have some moves made up of my own awesome talent! Those tend to come out when I hear 80's music and kenny rogers, the gambler! YyYeessss!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Anyways, a few of a favs were the 123 party guy, obviously only there to get on tv. I like the big girl dancer, she was inspiring! There was this one dude from russia or something and he got me to thinking, where in the hell do dudes find shirts like that! I mean the ones with tons of sequins and no closures? I was craking up at him! What dude walks into a store and is like "oooh man I HAVE to get this shirt!

She just took over! Sorry folks, I keep telling her to leave but she refuses and continues to use words like folks. Ha<br /><br /><br /><br />I LOVE Mother's Day! It is a much needed, guilt free, day off. I call it Mother's Day weekend. I get to sleep in, dont have to cook, could maybe take a little nap if I wanted. PERFECT!<br /><br /><br /><br />but...on this day, I am reminded that I dont like my mother. Its true! I didnt couldnt even bring myself to call her yesterday. Instead, I sent her a text. Im horrible. I struggle with it alot and it would take me an entire 500 page book to tell you all of the reasons why.<br /><br /><br /><br />Im trying to be a better Chirstian woman and this includes respecting your mother and I just.cant.do. it! I try to rasie my girls in the exact opposite way she raised me and my sister. From things like she worked, I stay home, she had 2 girls, now I have to work on three, all the way to the words that come out of my mouth!<br /><br /><br /><br />My husband really gets upset about this thing between me and my mom and he says "What if one day your girls didnt want to talk to you on Mother's day?" or " What if you girls dont answer the phone when you call?"All I can respond with is, " That will never happen because I will hunt them down and stalk them until they talk to me. And its true. I would definitly do that!<br /><br /><br /><br />My mom, she wouldnt/doesnt. I really dont think she cares. She onlys cares because she wants others to think she is worlds best mom/grandma. Now I know I sound like a whiney bitch but I can tell you that I am ok with this! I have a great relationship with my grandmother and really feel like its my mom who is missing out on all this coolness!<br /><br /><br /><br />Its just when mothers day rolls around and I am faced with the fact that I AM ok with this, that when the feelings of guilt come. The sound of her voice can put me in a bad mood for days so I just prefer to keep my distance and live my life happy! People tell me that one day I will be sad about it but I just dont think I will be. Ive lived the majority of my life dealing with this issue and have had enough therapy to come to terms with our relationship.<br /><br /><br /><br />I have issues...but so do you right? Tell me Im right?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/102/DFB1A1C38FD651A482B97BCBC7EEC945.png" /></a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09826461333415234158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-21831915626599584852010-05-05T12:45:00.005-04:002010-05-06T09:12:27.272-04:00Thank heaven for little girls.Last night at my Apples of Gold meeting, we discussed purity. This was hard for me because I am the mother of two girls. It is a topic that I have struggled with since the day they were born.<br /><br />You take a look around at some of these young "ladies" out there and think, "Gee, I hope my girls never look/dress like that when they get older." Some sights actually make me throw up a little in my mouth.<br /><br />Sexualizing young women in this society is a big problem! I want to find some of these parents out there to punch them in the neck and ask them what the hell they are thinking for letting their kid walk out of the house looking the way some of them do!<br /><br />It makes me ask myself, how do I teach my girls to be respectable young women? How do I get them to realize they need to respect their bodies? To be modest? How do I teach them that boys really arent looking at their hearts but something a little different in that vacinity of the body?<br /><br />Ive always said that I love having little girls its the teenage ones I dont want! I know how I was and it really is scary to think that they will be like me one day. I mean, dont get me wrong, I did turn out awesome. That is no thanks to my parents. They let me do whatever I wanted!<br /><br />Am I overreacting? Im just trying hard now to put some good thoughts in their heads and let them know that they are beautiful every chance I get. My grandmother tells me I do it too much and that they will be big-headed but I disagree. In this world, I dont think that there is a such thing as too much love or too many compliments!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/102/DFB1A1C38FD651A482B97BCBC7EEC945.png" /></a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09826461333415234158noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-38008672265598154562010-05-04T08:59:00.003-04:002010-05-04T10:57:35.078-04:00Blogging is making me fatIve been missing....in case you noticed.....<br /><br />My computer decided it wanted to take a visit to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">gangsters</span> paradise and never return. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Unfortunately</span>, my husband decided to bring my beloved computer back! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Yay</span>!!<br /><br />Upon the demise of windows, we now have installed vista so we will see how this works! The good news is, I also have sound back!

I did a sculpting workout and I went for an hour walk! Oh yeah, and I got a lot of housework done!<br /><br />Anyways, I realized that I did so much when the computer is down, that blogging is making me fat!

They sat and snuggled and watched the movie. Yay! Then....there were some of the other kids....<br /><br /><br />I swear I wanted to hide in ebarrassment FOR the parents. The kids were running around kicking people, yelling and one little dude stood in front of everyone with his hands down his pants playing with his junk for like ten minutes! and I mean RIGHT in front of everyone. I had to distract my girls!<br /><br /><br />This begs the question, is it the parents fault when kids act like that? Or is it just the nature of the kid? I think I would have a heart attack if my kids acting like that!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/102/DFB1A1C38FD651A482B97BCBC7EEC945.png" /></a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09826461333415234158noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-77429809670708710792010-04-30T15:22:00.004-04:002010-04-30T15:35:57.656-04:00Hannahs part four<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Jd4ZACncDMjgIWxKEnsYuv-Gn7YmOoN7-47S3o_9dvoonGEPW50EvJS8Ptr3SHaGjOANR13Gav1nkkL-ufmPfqkH2IzrS9iURVfO7jzMyMP8nFP-JvaHQPUXABEfGmvykWHDIUkm2I2A/s1600/4.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466016217218339250" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 167px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Jd4ZACncDMjgIWxKEnsYuv-Gn7YmOoN7-47S3o_9dvoonGEPW50EvJS8Ptr3SHaGjOANR13Gav1nkkL-ufmPfqkH2IzrS9iURVfO7jzMyMP8nFP-JvaHQPUXABEfGmvykWHDIUkm2I2A/s320/4.png" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>Today while I was visiting <a href="http://www.carissagraham.com/">Carissas</a> blog as I do often, I saw that she was participating in a blog party hosted by Hanna at <a href="http://manyrandommusings.blogspot.com/">Aspire</a>.

Ive never done one of these before so here goes:<br /><br /><br /><br />I was asked to review the site for <a href="http://www.mckenziebooks.com/">McKenzie books</a>. They are an online book buyer and seller. They have this tool called <a href="http://www.mckenziebooks.com/store/pages.php?pagename=brain.html">BRAIN</a>, Books Recently Added Inventory Notice. I think its the best idea ever!<br /><br /><br /><br />What BRAIN does is it allows you to create a "want list" of books and they automatically notify you the minute they get in the book in matching your title, author, ISBN, or keyword search. You can set preferences such as the minimum book condition, how often & when to get alerted, maximum number of books to include in each alert & more.<br /><br /><br /><br />As a mom, this can save you TONS of time and money from having to search all over the place for that one book. They usually sell books for about 80% off the list price so you are saving a ton of money! My husband, who is a grad student will really like this so he can get his textbooks for cheap. I get pissed when he has to spend like $400 dollars on one book!<br /><br /><br /><br />I do, on occasion, get a chance to read and its great that I can get them for so cheap instead of paying 20 bucks a book! Thats crazy!<br /><br />Ch-Ch-Check it out!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/102/DFB1A1C38FD651A482B97BCBC7EEC945.png" /></a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09826461333415234158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-20280664335826388082010-04-30T08:45:00.004-04:002010-04-30T12:18:24.920-04:00Fabulous Friday!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTV8jnTEh_xPCDK79gqyk4iOtYPa79GNVJu9r4pUXeSllNrUzk3Hp6ivO61VyYUXdxwUxZss_C9wQaL_TWXdp8zxoWsztjpvgOboUa_PcN1FvvMcsuWLzv_jOiIhZajnRQ2ilx9C5l_GG0/s1600/followfriday01.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465965541350590418" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 219px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTV8jnTEh_xPCDK79gqyk4iOtYPa79GNVJu9r4pUXeSllNrUzk3Hp6ivO61VyYUXdxwUxZss_C9wQaL_TWXdp8zxoWsztjpvgOboUa_PcN1FvvMcsuWLzv_jOiIhZajnRQ2ilx9C5l_GG0/s320/followfriday01.png" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hello everyone from Friday Follow!!! </div><br /><div><a href="http://www.middayescapades.com/search/label/Friday%20Follow" target="_blank"></a></div><br /><div>I feel so bad writing this post today because I really dont have too much to say!

The short part says, "Look at me, I can conform to the man.", while the back says, "Suckers!"

The straight and narrow path, focusing on becoming an honest, responsible and productive member of society. They are as dedicated to building a good, solid family unit as they are to preserving their well-kept mullet.<br />Keeping the mullet reminds them of their youth and delusions of their individuality. It's crucial that these two traits are constantly reassurred in order for the Famully Man to sustain his new, responsible role in society.<br />In some more poverty stricken families, the mullet actually functions as a toy. (Comparable to a rattle, blocks, etc.) The child grabs/tugs at it, and it is fun...fun for the whole family. As we know, mullets are easily amused. </div><div><br /><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWlrf45pdeugxVpjdagIp43qzwkmhkcmexCw80w1frA-wRf8nEvC3fJEDUmrzHgMLXqdVD1_FJRaLwhaDBRjk6abcv0AetrFvZBYozA2sSs5JkwkoBxnsVyFi_bI0NhoEBXTM6llAvdLvx/s1600/tanktops_gavin.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464502367762341954" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 241px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWlrf45pdeugxVpjdagIp43qzwkmhkcmexCw80w1frA-wRf8nEvC3fJEDUmrzHgMLXqdVD1_FJRaLwhaDBRjk6abcv0AetrFvZBYozA2sSs5JkwkoBxnsVyFi_bI0NhoEBXTM6llAvdLvx/s320/tanktops_gavin.jpg" border="0" /></a>The Family Mulltrait<br /><br /><br />"Hell no mom, we're not dressin' up for the family mulltrait.

Non-work days are always spent at ANY sporting event. Mullets that haven't quite reached the high level of the "GCM" (General Contractor Mullet) tend to be "handymen". Taking out overpriced ads in the Pennysaver, the justification is, "It's an honest living." This GCM in particular is ranked high within the mullet community due to many reasons: The length of his mull, the contrast of his mull, and the bleached tips. His occupation has secured him a strong position in the mulligarchy which is reflected by his sure, confident demeanor.<br />* He just gave his son "Tobey" a tool belt for his 6th birthday.<br />* Possible delusions of Mel Gibson from Braveheart.</div><div><br /><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"I am the Mull"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8w-BYR_te5DB7rhnx_2ZS5kSVj4cg-Xd7-vEYcTX0LSkJ9y7Um-ADmy9hLXanif8v1uisi1w9D3hxc7qiGctEN_1whYO_JN0_wt7SVTpqTsNvN81xRvccaER23AfBGlo-AbFbXrfni_sV/s1600/stylish1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464511930149213506" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 251px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8w-BYR_te5DB7rhnx_2ZS5kSVj4cg-Xd7-vEYcTX0LSkJ9y7Um-ADmy9hLXanif8v1uisi1w9D3hxc7qiGctEN_1whYO_JN0_wt7SVTpqTsNvN81xRvccaER23AfBGlo-AbFbXrfni_sV/s320/stylish1.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /><br /></div><div><br /><br />Every once in while a truly great mull comes along like this. It IS a 'Diamond in the ruff', every detail is completely intentional and accounted for. Look at the aero-dynamacy, the colors, the length of this mull. A true craftsman. Now check out the accessories; The 44oz. Big Gulp, the wife beater, the beaded necklace, the aviator sunglasses and finally the baseball hat attached to the belt loop of faded denim shorts. The attitude, the confidence in his stride are also key, undeniable elements that make this mull stand above the rest. 'I - AM - THE - MAN' emanates from within and is projected to all.

I always get like this when my kids turn 2. I need a work from home job...<br /><br />~ I hate the word patio<br /><br />~ Love my new furniture and can now listen to my bob marley and enjoy my wine in comfort!<br /><br />~ We rented the blind side last night. Why the f does Kathy Bates randomly pop up in everything lately!<br /><br />~ Daughter #1 has a soccer game this morning. Im wondering why it always rains here on saturdays! Now I have to sit in this freezing ass cold rain! Boooo but YAY! I get to watch her run around and be happy!<br /><br />~ Tonight we are going to see a band call Bon Journey. Yes you read that right. A band that plays covers of Bon Jovi AND Journey! Im totally wearing my mullet wig and plan to take awesome pics of real mullets. I will do a mullet post just to honor those business in the front, party in the back exclusive club members! I will be in heaven!<br /><br />Hope you are all having a great weekend! I will thinking of you all when I rocking my air guitar tonight!!!<br /><br />Dont stop believin!

I truly needed it this week. Some days I feel like the worst mother. I either feel bad about :<br /><br /><br />-yelling to much, I really really need to work on this. I really have a big, loud mouth!<br /><br /><br />- not playing with them enough. I really try to make their day fun and interesting but I can only play tag so much or read a story so many times, or play a game so many times.<br /><br /><br />-sometimes I feel guily because I stay at home. I mean, maybe they want to play with other kids rather than me and I already told you about her horrible "friend" next door, so maybe they would have fun at a day care? Also, then we would have a lot more money to spend on nonsense stuff.<br /><br /><br />- the time we do spend playing, I end up feeling guily because its not educational enough.<br /><br /><br />- as I mentioned, Im ALWAYS tired, I feel guilty about this too.<br /><br /><br /><br />All these things add up and I feel emotionally and physically exhausted at the end of the day. I realized that my kids have NEVER had a babysitter! Other than grandparents, theyve only ever been with me! Thats crazy! I think my parents would have left us with a homeless bum back when my sister and I were their age.<br /><br /><br />Ive also never been away from them for more than 2 days. I feel aways that sometimes I just want to not see them for at least a week. 2 days sometimes hardly feels like enough.<br /><br /><br />This is why I wanted to be thankful for my girls today. Because I realize that motherhood is one big ball of guilt, I am so thankful that I have this to feel guilty about!<br /><br /><br />Im thankful for their little voices, their little smiles, their little hands, their little eyelashes, the way the say "I love you mommy," the way they cry for me when I leave, the way they laugh, the way they dance, they way the care about others....I could go on and on!<br /><p> </p><p>What are you thankful for today?<br /></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/102/DFB1A1C38FD651A482B97BCBC7EEC945.png" /></a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09826461333415234158noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-30748675410401858722010-04-19T13:12:00.015-04:002010-04-21T10:59:28.841-04:00Its a link fest...So I about peed in my pants when I realized that I was awarded 3 awards yesterday!

I need some ideas for a button.<br /><br />3. I really really am trying to find a way to reply to comments. Ive tried discus but its not working (maybe it would if I got a new layout) and everything else im finding is for wordpress so I need something for blogspot.<br /><br />4. How are you guys all finding these great giveaways to do on your blog? I want to do one?<br /><br />Hope everyone had a great weekend...Im off to catch up!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/102/DFB1A1C38FD651A482B97BCBC7EEC945.png" /></a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09826461333415234158noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-85410699514934294982010-04-17T16:35:00.008-04:002010-04-17T21:30:48.688-04:00I'd be...<div align="center"><br /></div><br /><div align="center">So my girl <a href="http://www.littlegirlshinyworld.com/">Rachel</a> @ littlegirlshinyworld, had the cutest little post that I thought Id steal for a quick little post of my own..
