It's Okay!

Hey, It's Okay...

~To have gone nearly a week without writing a new post simply because you couldn't think of anything to say even though you have a million thoughts running through your mind pretty much every minute of every day.  


~To be annoyed when a Jehovah's witness shows up at your door but to also think, "Man this lady has some balls guts behind her passion!"  


~To have still not finished painting the bonus room you started on Saturday because you ran out of steam at five o'clock and haven't yet had the motivation to get back into it.  


~To be a little sad that the Betta fish (that was supposed to belong to your son but would have died two years ago had you not stepped in to take care of it) died last night and is currently awaiting burial in a cardboard jewelry box because you are such a sentimental sap that you always bury the fish, hermit crabs and whatever other kind of creature dies or is found dead in your presence.


~To still have sore calves from going up and down the stairs to the bonus room so many times on Saturday.  Apparently those muscles don't get much attention in Pilates and Zumba.  


~To be more than a little sick of the sound of your neighbor's leaf blower.


~To not be able to watch Sister Wives without wishing one of the wives would break bad and demand monogamy.


~To think it's nuts that the town's Christmas decorations were put up the week after Halloween.


~To like Adele even more after finding out she has a Dachshund named Louie.


~To think this is hilarious because you.can.relate!...

Hey, It's Okay Tuesday...

Joining in with Amber today for another edition of Hey, It's Okay Tuesday! 

Hey, It's Okay... 

~To feel a little annoyed when you want to respond to a comment/question someone left on your blog but can't because they are a "no reply blogger".  Check  your blogger profile.  Go to "edit profile" and check that little box that says "show my email address".  Please?  Pretty please? I've never gotten any spam from it.  The only spam I get on blogger comes in the form of comments and goes right into the spam folder.


~To like a little coffee with your flavored creamer. 


~To feel like you lost a good friend when one of your shows ends for the season.  I miss Breaking Bad!  


~To want to roll your eyes when you hear/see things like "Fall Festival" when it is being held on Halloween, there are costumes being worn and candy handed out.  Sounds an awful lot like HALLOWEEN to me.


~To wish your neighbors wouldn't spread manure all over their yards so often.  We can smell that over here.  


~To miss the days of real trick or treating.... When people actually stayed home and the kids went door to door in their neighborhoods for their junk instead of having to be driven somewhere else for a "Fall Festival".

~To think Lady Gaga is a freak on a leash but to still really love her music.


~To feel like you ran a marathon after spending your entire Saturday organizing your closet.  And to lie to yourself by proclaiming that  you are really and truly going to keep it that way forever this time.


~To really be looking forward to "falling back" on November 6th because although it will get dark earlier in the evenings at least it won't be pitch black outside when you try to drag your groggy butt outta bed when the alarm goes off at 6:30 in the mornings and to hope that maybe, just maybe, you won't have to hit snooze three times before actually doing it.


~To have sent your eight year old to school this morning with messy, gelled and sprayed hair while sporting eye makeup and a shirt you wrote "Loded Diper" on with a Sharpie. He was supposed to dress like a favorite book character and I thought the Wimpy Kid's older brother, Rodrick, would be more obvious than the Wimpy Kid himself.  

Happy Tuesday!

Hey, It's Okay Tuesday...

Hey, it's okay...

~to mumble a few unladylike words under your breath cuss and throw things around while trimming sticker bushes with spiders and wasps in them.

~to not feel guilty about eating a lemon filled doughnut and a cream cheese filled doughnut from Krispy Kreme over the weekend. 

~to not be able to stop watching Sister Wives and to actually like the people even if you don't agree with their lifestyle and think they are completely insane for choosing it.  

~to just say no to fixing your hair and wearing it in a ponytail for five days straight. In my defense, I have very thick wavy hair with a mind of its own and sometimes I just don't have the energy or the time to deal with that hot mess.

~to have worn these in high school in the 80's...

and these when you were a kid in the 70's...

~to be amused that people landed on your blog by googling things like "miss fanny pantyhose", "big huge man", "speedo lover", "cute fanny packs", "dog poo clipart" and "caterpillar eyebrows".   

~to talk to your dogs in a high pitched annoying baby voice when you pick them up at the groomer and see them sporting bows and a bandanna.  

~to admit that you would need a twelve step program in order to give up your laptop or blackberry.  (they don't call it a crackberry for nothing)

~to sometimes wish you had a live in housekeeper like Alice from the Brady Bunch.  I wouldn't even make her wear that cheesy uniform.

Hey, It's Okay...

to dress your wiener dogs up for Halloween and to be really excited to have already found their costumes at TJMaxx last week... a shark and a fairy princess. This is gonna be good.  


to turn the volume all the way up on the stereo when you're driving alone in your car and proceed to sing at the top of your lungs even if your singing does sound an awful lot like one of the reject contestants from the first week of American Idol. I do recommend turning it down a notch before doing things like picking up your kids from school or pulling up at a funeral.  Just a suggestion though.  


to get a call from your neighbors informing you that your two male offspring have just set your mailbox on fire and being relieved to find out that it was only a smoke bomb.


to admit that 7th grade math homework is over your head. 


to secretly be a big fan of the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books and movies and to actually be enjoying reading through them for the second time with your 8 year old.  

to dig your phone/blackberry out of your bag to check the time and get sidetracked checking emails and put it back in without ever checking the time and then digging it out again and then doing the same thing 2 or 3 more times before remembering to actually look at the time!  


to just say no to fashion trends you don't like, like loafers that look like they belong on a man or faux fur vests and jackets.  Eww.


to eat ice cream every day.  


to constantly catch yourself saying "back when" things to your kids like, "Back when I was in school we didn't have the internet to do our research.  We actually had to go to the library and look things up." and "Back when I was a kid we didn't have cell phones.  We had to get out of the car and put money into a phone inside a booth at the gas station if we needed to make a call." 


to not really give two cents about football even when you live in a small town in the south where it is pretty much considered a crime and a sin if you do not get all pumped up about some Friday night football.
