I am taking another break lol. I need to, my back is doing some serious painful things right now. So as I sit here, thinking, trying to redefine the blog here, my kids are watching Dora the Explorer. I don't mind a little TV during the day. My TV is constantly on, but that doesn't mean they watch it all the time. I just like the sound of it. Anyways, I am thinking of all cartoons they watch and I'm thinking the writers/producers of these shows must be idiots. And let me explain:
Dora-Her parents let her run wild with animals, and go to strange places and be in danger and don't even care.
Max and Ruby-Abanoned by parents!! I don't ever remember reading about rabbits just leaving their young behind. I thought rabbits stuck with them???
Umizoomi-Teaches math, got it. But when a child needs to earn money to buy something, they jump in and help. What exactly is that teaching the child? That, yes helping is nice and good and you should always help, but also, when you want to earn money just ask for help and expect all proceeds go to you! Not split up the money even though they helped you.
Yo gabba gabba-Hey lets make a show about crazy colors, music, cartoons and creatures so when they kids get older it will make them think drugs are COOL! Ok, not exactly, but come on, this show makes it look like an acid trip.
Diego-Same thing as Dora.
This is just some of the shows my kids watch. We also watch Disney Junior and Little Einsteins is just like Dora and Diego. But I like a majority of the shows on Disney Junior.
I can almost guarantee tell what you're thinking. WELL HAVE THEM WATCH THAT AND NOT NICKJR. First, disney junior doesnt stay on that long(time zones suck) and the kids like nickjr. Its our job as parents to teach our kids right from wrong. Yes I get all this, this post was just a little joke.
Have some of your own?

:( Bullying :(
Bullying is a topic we all deal with and face. Whether you have kids or not. There is some type of bullying we have dealt with. I read an article which is here : Class Spitters. If you don't take the time to read I will just paraphrase for you. Its about how a boy (9 years old) was blowing raspberries. The teacher did not approve and scolded him. She then proceeded to tell the class to circle around him and take turns spitting on him. I actually had to deal with this last week. I seen 6 kids holding down 1 boy and was taking turns spitting on him. I yelled at them to stop, but who is to say I stopped them for the days to follow? Or weeks? And because it was off campus I had to involve the police and because they did not witness it, they can not do anything about it. So this little boy is feeling like its ok to bully other kids and so the trait is learned.
I believe bullying is a trait that is learned. And if you look up statistics it is more than 75% learned in the home of the child/ren. Whether the child is bullied, one parent is bullied by the other, or both parents bully each other. The child is learning this trait. And because of this one incident, this little boy is now left with feelings ranging from anger, upset, confusion, and lost. This is not acceptable. The police should of investigated it. But they did not want to take their time to come out. And the worst part about the police, there were 2 on crosswalk duty for the school at one location and 1 other police at the other crosswalk. How sad that 1 person could not come their spots to investigate what was going on.
I feel sorry my childrens generation as they get older. Sooner or later being grounded will be considered abuse. Im not saying spanking is always the answer, especially dealing with bullies. But another approach. And parents are now being too lazy to step up and talk with their children. Now, I know alot of kids won't talk to their parents. They come straight home and walk into their house and go straight to their rooms. Thats when the parent/s should walk upstairs and force a talk. If the child doesn't want to talk fine, they can listen. And before you say WELL I DON'T WANT TO FORCE A RELATIONSHIP WITH MY CHILD/REN. Just think, this bully could be your child. And your child go grow up and be responsible for the death of another or theirselves. Think about this for a moment...

~*Love*~
I have a facebook. Who doesn't. lol. But a lot of my friends keep posting pictures of quotes, sayings, whatever. There is one quote going around that is not only stupid, but is really starting to get under my skin. This is the quote:
CHEATING IS EASY. WHY NOT TRY
SOMETHING CHALLENGING MORE
CHALLENGING LIKE STAYING FAITHFUL.
I don't understand it. How is staying faithful a challenge? I was watching the movie ENOUGH with Jennifer Lopez. Her husband is a psycho cheating, abusive lunatic. Well in the first 45 minutes maybe less, he is caught cheating. And he says he is a man. And he has needs. And those needs being met will make the relationship better and easier on her(Jennifer). And of course all those cheaters. I LOVE HER/HIM but cheat non stop. Once yes can be a mistake. As, long as you admit it, work on getting past it, and don't repeat the mistake. But repeatedly is just wrong. How can you say you love someone and turn around some odd minutes/hours later and cheat and then repeat. It's a never ending cycle.
I love my husband. We have our differences. That's what makes us, us. If we were exactly alike, and agreed on everything all the time, there would be no fun. If that were the case, I should of married myself. But we argue. And I'm being truthful and some may say no way, but we hardly argue. In the 6 years we have been married we have had a few bad arguements, but I can count on 1 hand how many times that was. We argue, we discuss to work through our problems, and then we try to make the other laugh. One of us will. We know to not ignore it or sweep it under the rug. I love him. He loves me.
So that gets onto love. What is love for you? What made you fall in love with your spouse? What is it that they do that still makes the butterflies fly, the tingles tingles, the knees get weak? For me, its when, we are out to dinner or even sitting in the truck and a beautiful woman will walk past(yes I notice lol) and his eyes will either be on me or straight ahead and he doesn't even realize her. He truly doesn't. Occasionally he glances, he is a man, but he doesn't gawk(except Kate Beckinsale lol). The way he sees me. I used to get so mad at him for not noticing me without make up on. I worked hard to dress nice, notice me dangit lol. But I realized, he still sees me beautiful without makeup. How he can still find me attractive wearing PJs. If I miss his message online(deployment) he will say JUST WANTED TO SAY I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU.
The honest truth thing that got me was, he kisses my nose. He gives me eskimo kisses. I love that. He will kiss my forehead, my nose. He gives eskimo kisses. ESKIMO KISSES. What guy does that? The way, even though he laughs, he holds me to protect me from my fears. I have a lot.
Thats my love. Thats what made me fall in love. That's what keeps me falling in love. He surprises me everyday with what he says and every year. I love him and always. So tell me your story!

Pain
What is your pain tolerance? What does it take for you to throw in the towel and take medicine? I don't care what the medicine is, this post is about pain. I had my gallbladder removed. It was outpatient so not much damage per say. But it still hurts. I am having some bad reactions. Fluid backed up, a bad reaction to a suture, things like that. But nothing too serious. So anyways, my pain tolerance is pretty high. If I am reaching for medicine its pretty bad. I hate taking medicine, but if I need it I will take it.
I have dealt with kidney stones, twice, both times I was pregnant with my son. I have had gallstones(which lead to the removal of the gallbladder), and I have delivered 3 kids over 8 pounds. I had an epidural with mine, but I was also induced so I had to wait until the contractions and my dilation was to a certain number. Can't remember that number lol. So I have had a lot of practice dealing with pain lol.
I bring this topic up because I am having some pain, but also on mythbusters they did an episode (NO PAIN, NO GAIN) on what sex can handle pain longer, male or females. Of course it was just an ice bath so that didnt really prove anything, but giving birth can. I am just curious as to pain tolerance and what degree does it have to be for you to give in. Any thoughts?

Indisposed/Animals
I have been sick. I am still slightly recovering from surgery. I had laprascopic gallbladder removal. Even though it was minor, the recovery the first week is horrible! I am now able to move around comfortably, and do my regular housework and all that. I am back now and will continue on my posting.
My first post will be about animals. I have a cat. Rusty, we have had him for 2 years. He is an orange tabby. Fixed. He is a loner, but loves attention. He ran away 2 nights ago. Usually when he does(if he manages to get out) he hides in this drainage ditch by our house. Last night he made it back. He was scratching at our back door. Surprised me! My husband was happy he was back of course. Well last night as Im laying to try and fall asleep, he decided to meow and claw everything. (He wanted attention). So I pat my blanket and he jumps up. He is moving and purring, and just won't lay still. I push him down and pet him and he still manages to move. UGH! LAY DOWN CAT! Is all I'm thinking. QUIT MOVING. I know he is thinking YEA PET ME MORE I MOVE MORE. YEA GOT YOU AWAKE NOW!! Ugh. This cat was frustrating me. So I stopped petting him. That bit me in the hand, and my leg. Stupid cat. So I sit him down on the floor.
I finally drift off to sleep. Around 3 am(when the ghost come out to spook people, they are REAL PEOPLE! :P). So around that time, I head a loud bang and I start contemplating on waking my husband or not. I don't. I lay frozen in fear thinking if I don't move they won't find us. I finally decide to get up and check it out. I come downstairs ever so slowly and start thinking of the worst scenarios. I make it to my kitchen. I am so afraid to flip on the switch. But I do it with such a fast motion that you can't see my hand. I look around and see my cat, on my island, knocking things down. I yell at him and he slowly turns gives me this look, the STOP PETTING ME HUH look and slowly jumps off the counter. And I promise you, he swished his hips. Like he won. Stupid cat!!
How many of you have ever had problems with your animals?! I love my cat but he drives me insane! Share your stories with me!
