A witty title has escaped me today. So after a night of wine and Ale, I got a wonderful nights sleep. Know that I do not drink, like ever. I am a breastfeeding momma of three (the nursling being only 3 months) so drinking is really not an option for me. Too many unknowns while in a sleep coma. However Sir E slept from 8 til 4 which was a amazing. The night before he slept from 830 til 545 and my boobs had no idea what to do with themselves, so when he finally woke up to nurse, one just leaked uncontrollably. Id like to say that I got up and changed my clothes but I didnt. If you are a mom you will understand when I say it was like that moment when your kid accidentally pees in the bed and you just put a towel over it and tell them to go back to sleep, except instead of a towel I just left my shirt up and bra undone. Worked like a charm. Speaking of bed wetting, Lady L has been peeing at some random point in the night and then sleeping through it smelling of the worst kind of urine know to man, old urine...We have these hand dandy covers that go over the mattress and sheets so that if there is an accident its easily cleaned up, but it doesnt work if she sleeps through peeing. So back into "pull ups" for night time. Its actually the Huggies Slip Ons, which I recommend to anyone potty training and not doing cloth because they are cheaper than actual pull ups. Lady L hates them though, she wants to wear her panties. Breaks my heart. But of course she wakes up dry today.
Ok so heres something fun, Sams Club. Freaking amazing is what that place it. Of course buying alchole in bulk just makes you feel like you have a problem. BUT heres why we did it. We live in a dry county and though its only like 20 minutes to a liquir store, we were almost done shopping and happened to walk down the wrong asile. B suddenly turns into his 2 and 3 year old daughters "BEER NOM NOM NOM PLEASE?????" Welp looks like we are buying beer now...of course at the time I thought this HUGE box of beer was all cans, but it was actually bottles which greatly reduced the amount I thought it was. I grabbed the biggest bottle of Arbor Mist I have ever seen (which is not real wine) and we were off. I am also pretty sure they thought we were paper towel bandits because we had three huge things of it. Two were for Lady G's school. Anyways we eat like insanely healthy so I am hoping if we can buy the non food items in bulk and our meat in bulk I can cut down our grocery bill. We will see... Ether way that place is awesome and will always hold a special place in my heart. And while we are on the subject of Sam's Club, they had this huge outdoor playset displayed for like 900 something. It has swings a slide, a little playhouse under the slide, it was really nice. Last night I ordered the girls swing set. Just a metal swing set for around 115 and I showed it to B. His response? "Thats not as cool as the castle we saw at Sams Club. We could have gotten them a castle! They are selling Castle's to children now a days! Why didnt we get them the castle?!?!" That man...oh that man....
And now its time for the rant of the day!!!! Whooooooo
People who dress their little girls and toddlers like hussy's and then complain when they are older about how they dress. Look people do you want your girls to be modest? Dress them modestly! I am so tired of seeing little girls dressed like a 16 year old. Lady G has only worn a two piece that showed her belly once and it was in the safety of our backyard. It was also not bought by me but given to us by my Aunt once her Granddaughter out grew it. I had not cleaned her one piece yet so we let her wear it. Other wise all swimsuits weather two piece of not have covered that girls belly same with her sister. And those tutu skirts that are made for pictures? Not in this house. Spaghetti straps, halter tops, and strapless tops? No sir, not in this house. Dresses are worn with those little shorts that are made for little girls who dont know how to keep their legs closed or for skirts that are too short. Now when it comes to dresses as long as their chests are covered we allow most everything but strapless. We do not allow those stupid fishnet looking tops that are again for pictures, not for your little girl to be walking around in and unless your child has breast there is no reason that she would be wearing a top that looks like a bra. Example, I have a friend who has a little girl around Lady L's age and she is constantly putting her in stupid online pageants, now thankfully I have yet to see her glitz her up, but she puts her in outfits that are not under any circumstance appropriate for a 2 year old. She is just asking for some sick freak to come after that little girl and when shes older and dressing like this still getting attention she does not need, momma is gonna wonder what went wrong. Drives me nuts. I dont want to hear this later on in life. And I dont vote for her little girl every time she post asking people to. Why? Because I am not in support of this, now if she were dressed in a manor a 2 year old should be dressed, then sure I'd vote. And sadly its not just her, I have way too many friends who dress their little girls like teenage girls...

Ale and Cheap Wine
First off let me start by saying sorry for disappearing my faithful reader(s) whoever you may be. I was down with a stomach bug on Friday a it has since the thrown off my routine. Anywho, not too much to report mainly because I am slightly intoxicated tonight. Cheapo wine from Sams Club and Redds Apple Ale. Which is awesome. Any who I'm trying to avoid a long incoherent post that jumps around so I promise to try to post tomorrow. I feel as thought I have a rant coming on. I know you will be on pins a needles until I return!

That Terrifying Sound
Before we get down to it let me first apologize for the many errors of my last post. Our laptop is still currently being fixed so I am writing all this on the iPad which hates me and loves to try and think for me. I will ask that you hang with me until the old computer is back on my desk. I type so much better with my fingers not thumbs.
As a mother there are many sounds you will hear coming from your little ones, but there is one sound no mother ever wants to hear. It is a sound so horrifying that you feel it's power in your core. I have heard this sound only a few times in my motherhood and it still scares me to death. Recently I was in Sir E's room nursing him as I always do in his room while B was taking a shower. I'm not sure we're Lady G was but she was occupied and unaware of the horror that was to happen to her sister in the next few minutes. I was enjoying myself gazing at my gorgeous son when Lady L comes in freaking out about her shirt being wet. I told her to just wait and I'd change her. Well as common with Lady L she didn't listen. She comes back naked. I told her to go put her clothes on. A few minutes pass and I have already forgotten about my naked two year old when I hear it. That horrifying scream of momma. It's high pitched, pain induced, wailing of a scream. You can hear the sheer terror in the voice. Then it becomes loaded with panic. It's Lady L. She is only in the next room but I felt as if she were miles away down an elevator shaft I could not Spider-Man my way down. As gently as I can muster I lay Sir E down in his bed before making a mad dash to the bedroom. I find Lady L with her arm caught in an unnatural position in the dresser drawer. She is clawing at it trying to free it. I pull the drawer, it releases its death grip and her arm hangs limp. She is rushed to B. He inspects it briefly before telling me to hang on while he gets out of the shower. I rock Lady L and she calms. The arm is not broken but appeared to be badly bruised (until the next day when it was fine).
A few days later I am again in Sir E's room changing a diaper. This time the sound comes from the living room. It's the sound of an ax murder killing my child scream. Even the dog rushed out of the room hair raised ready to kick ass. It was a spider. A spider I killed in cold blood with a deadly slipper for causing me to have a heart attack at the ripe old age of 24.
Today the scream comes. This time it is death by lent who was mistaken for a spider on her foot. I am so glad Lady G no longer screams like this...be calm my dear heart, despite the noise coming from that child's mouth she is not dieing and most likely has not broken some thing.

Lady G and Stuck Up a Forest Creatures
So today was Lady G's first day at the new school. I think she will be fine and I am praying her teacher is on the same page with me of the no babying her. It's not her fault she is the same size as the average two year please don't treat her like she is one. Anyways she shut down like says when it came time to meet and great but B was desperate for me to get home because Sir E was screaming bloody murder. Of course when I walked in the door B had gotten him to take a bottle for the first time and had him content. Anyways let me back track some. My morning was suppose to start at 530, however two minutes to 4 I awoke. I looked down at Sir E who was rooting and thought hey ill rock him and nurse then lay him in his bed. He nursed like a champ and was dead asleep by 410. And then his head hit his mattress...my day had started. 5 am I did my workout and realized that while doing my jumping jacks my neighbors could see my shadow through the window. Could they also see the flab of my belly fat bouncing up and down too? Or perhaps they were too distracted by my boobs... I live in a high traffic area so yea... After my work I made myself breakfast took a shower and marveled at what life without children must be like. From there I got Lady G up, put Lady L back to bed and watched my husband proceed to co sleep with our son making him a huge hypocrite. Apparently co sleeping is only ok when the man with PTSD does it. He did however admit to me later that he has no idea how I sleep like that. Anyways after I dropped Lady G off I proceed to come home feed Lady L, but Sir E to bed, and crash. Thank God Lady L loves Mickey Mouse and it was on for 30 minutes followed by Henry Huggle Monster her favorite show. A fun fact about Lady L she hates tv, but God was on our side today with back to back awesomeness for this little lady.
Now for my fun rant. F you woodland creatures. We have a huge and I do mean huge like the size of our cat huge, squirrel living in our tree out back. B and the Lady's decided to try and feed it my VERY expensive trail mix. Bitch hasn't touched it for days...neither have the birds! And it's not like m&ms and crap it's basically what these little bastards forage for and they won't flipping eat it! It's like 12 bucks for a small carton of this stuff and though I love my Lady's I would not have in a million years thrown this stuff on the porch, but B has a soft spot and gives them and had no idea he was throwing money outside. I just want to yell this shit is gourmet! But I doubt that would info encourage them. I do however feel like it might have something to do with the fact that it is so close to the back door so I picked it up and threw it in the yard. Either way F you woodland creatures.

Goodbye Old, Hello New
Dear faceless reader,
Hello! By some misfortune you have stumbled upon my very inactive blog. Do not get comfortable for very soon (as soon as my laptop returns from its journey to the repair store) Boom Boom Thunder Puddles will be getting a maker over. I am three kids deep now, a 3 year old (Lady G), a 2 year old (Lady L), and a 2 month old (Sir E) rule my life. It's amusing the going ons on my day to day routine. For example as I write this I am also bumping breast milk. I have clearly mastered the art multitasking. Anyways there will also be new rants! Yay who doesn't love a good rant? I can't do it on my Facebook page anymore since half of my rants are about the people on my Facebook... Anywho if you enjoyed this short greeting then most likely you will enjoy what follows. Now if you will excuse me I need to detach this machine from my nipples and possibly punish two little girls who just ran down the hall to their rooms laughing like they got away with murder...

ACV Scam or are people idiots. Huh...
OK So first off let me just state that my faith in humanity is beyond dwindling. Why you may ask? Well Lets take a short recap. People seem to love hand outs so much they are willing to give up freedoms that were set into place to keep us a free people. A 16 year old girl is raped but because it was by two boys who had a great academic record and are high school football stars, they are the victims not her. These are just a few. So when I received something in the mail from a ACV Travel company I had little faith. However since my husband is the one who opened it we read it then we called and talked to the guy. It sounded pretty legit. Most of the time it doesn't but this one did. Then our friend looked it up and said scam so I looked it up. Well yes and no and here is where I say people are idiots (not our friend).
Part of this is solely a "scam". If you received something that says you've won a free trip to Vegas or Orlando its the "scam" part. Now from some of what I have read it would appear as if some people really thought that this "boarding pass" was a legit ticket (despite it clearing saying this is not a real boarding pass) and attempted to go somewhere. In reality what this is, is to get you to come and sit through a 90 minute meeting about timeshares. It states on the back this is to get you to buy timeshares making this no longer a scam. The fine print litterally tells you this is for timeshares and even says its for people between a certain age and who make a certain amount of money so for those of you who are bitching about this shut up and read. This is not a "scam". There is no such thing as a "scam". Why? Because a "scam" tells you its a "scam" in the fine print. It has to otherwise they cant make an air tight contract that even the best lawyer cant get you out of. Lets take a page out the book of Family Guy. Peter is "scamed" into buying volcano insuarance and uses Lois's raining day fund to buy it. In the contract it states over and over again "I can't believe he is signing it". This scam informed Peter it was a scam and yet just like most "American's" it sounded good when someone sold it to him so he took it. Now in this case a lawyer was able to get him out of it. Either way the point to that was a scam is not a scam when its stated in the fine print.
Now there is another type of "boarding pass" you can get in the mail as well. This one is only given out to I think 10 people to the hotel area. It might be more than that but I cant remember everything people. Anyways you go to the hotel take a two hour tour (one hour if you have little ones) and I am sure this is also about timeshares. Again on the back it states this is to promote timeshare buying. It also states the odds of you winning the three cars, or the 49,000 or the 1500 shopping spree, or the 800$ four day trip, or the 500 dollars. Surprisingly your odds of winning the trip or 500 is pretty close to the same. The others of course are a 1 in 53,000 chance. It also tells you how long they will continue to send these things out. Now if you have the money to pay for a few things that arent covered in the trip then its worth it or maybe even worth it to just take the money. BUT here is another fine print that someone would probably flip shit about. You are now (in a sense) their bitch boy. You will have to take photos when you win and then will have to take photos whenever they call upon you to help promote them and you will NOT be paid. I personally dont see that as a big flaw, they just gave you something I am sure you can get over it. Either way its actually not that bad. I did see some negative reviews about them in general so thats something to consider. We have decided not to do it. Its only a 3 hour drive for us and honestly I think we were most excited about getting out of town for a day staying overnight in a hotel with a pool and letting the girls swim and play then our 1 in 53,000 chance of hitting it big. Though the trip would be nice its not really in the cards for us right now since we are getting close to being done with the Army. Yes the 500 or 800 dollars would be nice, but again not really something we are interested in. However if you are close enough that this wont inconvenience you do it. If you are worried and unsure, have someone else READ THE FINE PRINT to you. Get advice, you never know you could be that 1in 53,000.

Gym's House.
So a few days ago my husband started to go to the gym again (or Gym's house as my 2 year old calls it). After having his ankle surgery over a year ago he managed to pack on a few pounds and if he is going to try and become a police officer after we finally as good bye to the Army then he needs to start getting back into shape. I for some time have been wanting to start working out again. My attempts at it a few months back were starting to show results until I about passed out. Turns out breast feeding while working out dont mix well with me. I dont eat enough to support both and myself. Now that L is almost completely weaned (down to only one night time feeding and a lazy 730 am feeding) I can finally start to work out. So Friday after dinner the husband and I loaded up our two little ninjasd an head off to Gym's House. We went to our community center which has a small little workout room and a nice big glass window looking into a playroom which is were we dropped the girls at. I was surprised at how content they stayed. The husband and I did a pretty good little workout and the next day did the same. We were suppose to take today off (Sunday) but I decided to go and do it again on my own. I have found that I actually like working out. Its fun for me. I feel like I am doing something other than just sitting at home with the girls cooking and cleaning. I am hoping to drop a few pounds in the next two weeks so I can start Jillian Michaels back up. Another issue I had with doing her workout was knees. I think I just have too much weight on my body and all the jumping was killing me. I will say this though. I did her 30 day shred for a week and a half before I had to stop and in that week and a half I lost enough weight to put on a pair of jean capris I have not been able to wear since before I got pregnant with L. Of course a few weeks later I was back to not being able to fit into them. Anyways her workout works and I for sure want to do it again as well as continue to go to the gym.
