Ok so lets just jump into my flip off fridays.
1. Flip of being a work from home mom!
For any of you moms that dream of the day when you can stay at home with the kids and make cookies and breads from scratch, have all the laundry done and the house spotless. Think again. I am and have been a stay at home mom for about 6 years (almost straight) and I also run my work from home business. This basically means that I have no time for myself. Maybe get a load of laundry done a day for over four people (this is not a good thing). Clean up only to have my 1 1/2 year old run around behind me making a bigger mess. So it looks like I never cleaned. Try to cook at home (only if this means I can throw everything in the crock pot). All on about 6 hours sleep if I am lucky. Now earlier I said I work from home. How is it that I get any WORK done? I have no idea. I really need a vacation and a raise. I need to talk to the boss...oh that's right I am the Boss!!!
2. Taxes
I mean need I say more. Long are the days of getting money back.
3. People who suck..
I never can understand how people who are lazy, refuse to work, sit around all day, complain, etc. Things always work out in there favor. I mean really.
Ok enough complaining. Have a great day!!!!

It's that time again.....Flip off Friday!
So I used to every Friday post my flip off for the weeks. And since I just started blogging again I thought what a better time to start my Flip off Friday's.
So my first flip of goes to
Diets...
My New Years resolution was to start to pay more attention to the crap I ate. Thus meaning bring on the salads. This was going really well. Then all it take is one slip up and you are on a downward spiral to eating crap. Thus I give you a big flip off.
My neighbor who does not know how to drive or speak English...
This old man next door has no idea how to drive and most defiantly does not know how to park. He has hit and broken my white picket fence more then ten times. And I don't understand how he manages this since he drives like 2 miles an hour (not 5 but 2 miles an hour). And there is no point saying anything because he speaks Arabic, Hindu or something like that and no English. So when you say something to him he just nods his head. I could be calling him a ****er and he would nod his head yes. Hey maybe I should try that sometime. :)
Anyone have a flip off they would like to share...

Long Time Coming....
So it has been a hot minute since I posted on this blog. My intentions when I started this was to have the ability to talk, vent and connect with friends, family and strangers (those deciding to read that maybe don't know me that well)or even to myself if no one is reading.
What happened is that this blog got pushed under the rug with all the other things I had going on in my life and then completely forgot about it.
With the new year and me turning another year older, I figured I better get my $h*t together and find ways to blog more often. I mean the last time I blogged was almost 9 mths ago...what the hell!
So much has happened since I last posted.
My mom had a heart attack in May 2011 which was life altering in so many ways. My life for about three weeks consisted of living in a hospital. While juggling my life, kids, house and business. The hospital was almost two hours away in traffic (1 hour without) and my sister and I just should have paid for a hotel instead of driving back and forth. It might have been cheaper then the gas. Fast forward to now and she is doing much better. She is back to her old self, which for anyone that knows her is a piece of work. Love you Mom! She still has some health issue but over all is doing much better.
July 2011 was my little mans 1st birthday. Which really went by way to fast. It's funny how you will say "OMG this week is going by so slow". But then you look back and say "OMG where did that year go". It went by so fast. He is such an amazing child. I could not be any more lucky then I am to have a child with his disposition. He is so relaxed, carefree, funny and so cute. I mean I have heard him cry maybe 5 times in his whole 18mth life. Everyday people in my life remind me of how lucky I am to have a baby like him.
September 2011 my Daughter started the 2nd grade and my son started his senior year. Another one of those OMG where did the time go. They both are also amazing kids. My daughter is feisty like me and really know how to get under my skin sometime. My son Jesse is a senior and he has really started to realize that after this year all the fun and games are over and it is time to head to the real world. Work, College, both...whatever path he picks I want to just support him.
October, November and December all went by in a blur. (except that my son Jesse turned 18 years old)!!
Now January 2012..... A week ago I turned the big 35!!! I am not one to sulk about the number. I really am just happy that I lived another year.
Now in between all of this I have been holding down the fort at home, running all of my businesses and being a wife.
Well I have caught everyone up to speed on my crazy life. My New Years resolution is to write in this blog at least three times a week.

I'M BACK!
As I sit here on this gloomy day I am draw to..
Watch a Glee marathon (ok I did watch a episode)
Work (since everyone that knows me know I am a workaholic)
Join my husband and baby on the couch for a snooze
Write in my neglected blog. DING DING DING WINNER!
Oh how I have missed you blog. I have received a couple request to go back to doing my flip off Fridays. Boy do I have some built up flip off's :)
I find it so hard to make time to write a blog post due to my busy life. I mean I know people always say they are busy, but really I am super busy. I wish I was like some who are able to devote daily time to write a blog post.
I battle with myself to just stay focused on doing one thing at a time, but my mind just bounces around everywhere. I currently have more then a handful of business ideas that could be good ideas, bad ideas and maybe even million dollar ideas (Daniel you know what I am talking about). But because I lack the lottery jackpot they sit on a shelf in my brain waiting for my numbers to be called. Is that not funny that I need to win millions to make millions. Sometimes that shelf in my brain gets so full I can't sleep. Sometimes I will be working and something will trigger a thought about those ideas that I get very sidetracked on whatever I am doing(this is a big weakness for me).
I guess what I am saying is I hope
all the sore fingers from typing pay off
nights I have not slept and sent emails all night (I will sleep when I am dead)
said shh let mommy take this call real quick to my kids
Pays off in the long run.
Because even millions can't make up for some things!
Welcome to my world!

Nutella Party
So recently I was picked to host a party about on of my favorite spreads. Drum roll please........Nutella.
It was alot of fun to have other moms share with me all the things they do with the Nutella (get your mind out of the gutter.I mean recipes). For example..
Chocolate-Hazelnut Panini with Strawberries
Cut pound cake* into 1/2" thick slices. Spread one side of all of the slices with Nutella. Add thinly-sliced fresh strawberries to half of the slices. Cover with the remaining slices to form a sandwich.
Spray a panini pan with butter-flavored cooking spray and preheat the pan. Add the pound cake sandwiches to the heated pan, and grill for approximately two minutes, or until you have nice grill lines on the pound cake and the Nutella begins to soften.
So good!
It was fun! Everyone walked away with a sample, mug and nutella spreader!
Thanks girls!

FLIP OFF FRIDAY
Ok so I realize I have not been blogging the way I used to, and this is because my life is just crazy at the moment(oh who am i kidding my life is crazy 24/7). But I have to make time for FLIP OFF FRIDAY as I have alot of flips offs (and it helps me to vent) so here goes.....
5. big flip off to the makers of huggie diapers for all the blowouts my son has been having in the last couple days. so I change my sons diaper ever 2-3 hours at the most during the day (as I can imaging how gross it must be to sit in pee) and then hopefully at night since he sleeps through the night we should make it through. BUT NO..he has woken up every night with a leak. So flip of Huggies.
4. big flip off to stupid people in the stores. When I am on a mission at the store I need to get in and out. Yesterday at Trader Joes I was on a real mission because I had both kids and just wanted to get in and get out. But no...some man and I swear at one point I thought someone with a camera was going to jump out and say i was being filmed. This man was just always in my way. Now Traders was packed regardless but mister get the **** out of my way. Don't just stop in the middle of the already small isles and read direction on how to steam vegetables or stop and read them to your wife. So flip off to stupid people.
3. Big flip off to Christmas. I am so sick and tired of this holiday. It is my least favorite holiday. I really feel this holiday is not what it should be. I thought it was about family and friends and spending time together. not spending money that most people don't have on crap that will either be re gifted of thrown in the closet and never seen again except when your vacuuming up tiny pieces of a crappy toy. So flip off Christmas.
2. a big flip off to all the people that get christmas parties. What about the stay at home moms who work 24/7 and never get a lunch, two 15 minute breaks, a bonus, a raise, a vacation or a sick day. And now we don't even get a christmas party!!!!! I vote that all stay at home mommies band together for our own christmas party. (A little late now but worth working on for next year).
Drum roll please
1. a BIG FLIP OFF to people that lie to your face. That say they aren't doing something when you ask, say they won't say something or do something and do it. Shame on me for allowing you but shame on you for doing it more. I hope when you realize that doing things like that will come back and haunt you. I hope you feel like shit!
AHHH that feels better. Try it...You'll like it!

HELLO PEEPS! Long time no post!
Hello Peep,
It has been a very long time since I have posted on this blog.
My life has been CRAZY!
But a couple weeks ago someone mentioned to me how she loved my Flip Off Fridays. So I thought what the hell lets start it up again. So here goes....
1.A big flip off to myself first for not doing the white laundry and my daughter today had to go to school with mismatched colored socks (she did wear boots so you could not see them).
2.Flip off to my hair that since I cut 10 inches off is very angry at me and won't do what I tell it too.
3. To Christmas Shopping.... My family(especially you sister in laws) are the hardest to shop for.
4. To my gym bill that keeps coming in...but I don't return the visit because I am just to busy and lets be honest LAZY!
5. Another flip off to me today for forgetting my daughters treat (pretzel sticks) for her class project! I did end up taking them to her (before you start calling me a bad mom).
What are your flip offs for the week!
