Big Families

  It is so funny to me that even after multiple children it still thrills me the first time my babies kiss me or tell me they love me. It never gets old. People who are skeptical about big families should just experience that overwhelming feeling of love.
A great friend of mine sent me an article about the intolerance of large families in our society. It was about how people stare or think we have a disease or whisper questions of "why?
How come people who choose not to have kids are not scrutinized for their choices? I respect their decisions. Hey I know I am old and a little bit nuts and no I don't use birth control and yes I have a big enough car and the reason we don't go to mcdonalds often is more about fitness and health than money. Any more questions? You can forward them to mindyourownbusiness.com
PS.. My kids all wear new shoes.
That should just about cover it.

St. Anthony

I am not sure if praying to Saint Anthony works everytime but it did today. I lost my keys today or should I say yesterday. It was 5 minutes before I had to leave today that I realized they were gone. Joey spent alot of time searching through toy boxes and drawers before finally calling the dealer to order new keys. Yes I am one of those dumbasses who only has one key to my car. Everyone said pray to St. Anthony, it works. After the third person told me I did just that. The dealer couldn't recognize my vin to order a new set of keys. (strange, it isn't like my car is a knock off from a NY alley) Then the locksmith never showed up after 4 hrs. I was getting ready to pay $175 plus never hear the end of it from my husband and then I
just opened the cabinet for a pretzel and there it was... A box of crackers that I took in the diaper bag the day before. The only thing that I took out of the diaper bag that I had not looked inside and I picked up the box and there they were, my keys tucked inside the box of kiddie crackers.
It was then that I thought all the crappy things that happened were for a reason. I was saved from spending unnecessary money and obviously was given a little tip to look in that box.
I am however going to get an extra key made. I am not sure St. Anthony will help stupidity twice.

Charzilla...again

Charlotte was an out of control 2 yr old tonight. I was the only person who brought kids to a bridal shower this evening. My girls were dressed sweetly and as always got a lot of coos until everyone got a taste of Charzilla. She ran around, terrorized the dog, broke something. Let's just say all were eager to help me pack them in the car. Thank God she is cute! Oh and let me mention that on the car ride home she announced how fun her night was. Really!!

NO TV

What happened to the days when TV shows started their new seasons in September and ended in May? I know I am not dreaming that this existed. It is very disheartening to get settled in front of the television only to scroll through the guide and see that all of the shows are repeats and it is March. Oh that's right.. now there is such a thing called sweeps week so they all need a break to get prepared. wtf?
What did people do in the days of no TV? Can you all imagine how many children I would have then? Oh and I gave up shopping for lent so it is a good thing I am already knocked up. No online shopping+ no TV=????
