Golden Girl

So last night I called my sister who did NOT call me all weekend which was very odd. When she picked up the phone she answered, "YEAH" I asked her why she picked up the phone like that and she said, 'What do you want bitch". I was a little confused because I knew I hadn't done anything to piss her off recently or had I?.....I asked her why she was made at me and she revealed to me that I was the perfect child who could do NO wrong and she hated me cause of that! (She doesn't really hate me...I hope) When she revealed that information to me I was so excited that I finally had the position of PERFECT CHILD. You all have to understand this; I am the middle child and we all know that middle children are disliked the most and can NEVER do anything right so when I found out this great news I wanted to cry I was so happy!

I have never had the opportunity to hold this title because Emily was always the favorite and Billy is the baby so that pretty much left me in charge of being the black sheep and boy I played that role very well. I'm not sure what I want to do first with this new found glory of mine. I don't even know how to act or what my job description is as the perfect child. I am really hoping that I can hold onto this title long enough to take advantage of it. Wish me luck!

My sister and brother are very JEALOUS of my new role in the family but i really DON"T CARE. It is so like them to always try and steal my thunder so any other attitude than jealously would have been abnormal. Anyway I just thought everyone would like to hear how I am now considered the PERFECT CHILD and I would like to be addressed as your Majesty. Thank You

Until Next Time....Blog if your jealous :)

P.S.-Emily is very JEALOUS of me that's what I did to piss her off!

For REAL!

So let me just tell you on Friday's Izzy normally works only till 11:30am and then he is supposed to pick Gracie up by noon. I just called him and you know what he told me when I asked where he was. he said, "I'm working what do you think I'm doing" gee I don't know maybe getting your ass in the car to go pick up our daughter! WTF this guys is beginning to work my nerves! So I said well your gonna be late to pick Gracie up. He said well I'm working till like 1 or 2. i said did you call Beth and tell her? Girls are you sitting down??? He said that's NOT my job to call her you can call and tell her! No I'm NOT lying that's what he said! So I say yeah you must have me confused with your girlfriend because I know you just didn't say that shit to me...right? I told him he needs to call Beth and tell he and he needs to watch WTF he says to me because I'm over you NOT doing any of the work that comes along with having a newborn! So with that Izzy said WHATEVER! Yup he used my line. My reply to him was FOR REAL Izzy, are you serious right now because if you are leave Gracie at Beth's all day and I will get a ride home from work and then I will go get Gracie and her and I will pack your shit and you can get the F out because I don't need to take care of a grown ass man when I have to take care of a newborn! Ladies I might be single again very soon! Anyway we'll see how this plays out. I'll keep you posted.

Happy Friday

Until Next Time....Blog to SCREAM

Lucy Prat

I thought tonight I would tell you about my dog Lucy Prat. Lucy was a dog that we adopted from the humane society. 2 years ago Izzy and I were driving home one day and I told him as we passed PetSmart to turn around and drop me off. When Izzy left me in front of the store he said to me, "Megan you better NOT come home with a dog." My reply to him was my famous, "WHATEVER" so in I went and what did I do...You guessed it I bee lined right over to the adoption table and began looking at the dogs that needed a home. After looking around a few minutes I found myself standing in front of a cage looking into a puppy's eyes and thinking, What a poor baby. You all know how the story ends so I won't bore you with the details but I will tell you that the famous, "WHATEVER" still stands in place.

Now 2 years and a human baby later Lucy Prat has found her place in our family and what a perfect fit she is. The last part I take back, she used to be a perfect fit until about a month ago. Izzy and I were watching TV one day and a dog appeared on the screen and Lucy Prat stopped right in her tracks and staired at the TV forever. This of coarse made Izzy and me laugh soooo hard that we would turn on animal planet just to get a good laugh at the expense of Lucy Prat. I never saw such a thing. This dog would sit in the living room or lay in bed and just watch TV. She never moved!!!

It's been a month and Lucy Prat is now out of hand and we regret ever teaching her to watch TV. She stands right in front of the TV and doesn't let anyone else watch and even worse she stands right in the way of where you point the controller to turn the channel!! We now have to watch what Lucy Prat wants and not what we want to watch! Keep in mind that I did state earlier she is a DOG! I don't know what to do to break this habit now and it's my own fault. People who come over thinks its sooo funny just as Izzy and i did at one time but the problem is those people get to go home and watch their TV with no problem.

So the moral of the story is this, Never laugh at a dog when they are watching TV!... This is why Lucy Prat is longer a good fit in our family. She is too crazy to fit in with us! Just kidding we love her very much and would not trade her in for the world. Her bizarre obsession is what makes her fit in with us!


Until Next Time....Blog to Bitch

5 whole days!

I have not written a post since last Thursday when Gracie had gotten her harness off. I'm not sure why I have not had a new post but whatever I will give you updates on the last week:

Friday: I left work at 3pm because I had overtime an our owners said we can NOT have OT so I was kicked out! Izzy had picked Gracie up from Beth's early so she came to the hotel to get me and say hello to everyone at work. People seem to be so much nicer to you when you have a newborn! We went to Tara's so more people could see Gracie and then home. Gracie went to bed at around 10pm and Izzy and I were fast asleep right after her.

Saturday: Izzy was up and out of the house by 7:30am on his way to work. Gracie did not get up until 9:30 when I had to wake her up because she had been asleep since 10pm the night before and I swore there was something wrong with her. I called Bernie panicking because Gracie slept that long, I know you spend so much time hoping they sleep all night and then when the do you don't like it. WTF is up with that? Someone could have told me that was going to happen! So Gracie and I got ourselves ready to go to the hotel where we had to meet some people staying there that wanted to see Gracie. Isn't it sad that I use a newborn to keep business on the books! :) She was a big hit with guests and employees alike. After our visit to the hotel we went and picked Grammy up to run a couple of errands and then back to our house to clean. Izzy and I decided to take advantage of Grammy and leave Gracie with her while we went grocery shopping. After grocery shopping we had a bite to eat and Grammy fed Gracie and went home. Gracie went to bed at about 9:30pm and Izzy and I stayed up watching the fights on HBO and went to bed around 11:30.

Sunday: Happy Easter. Woke Gracie up at 8:30, Yup you read it right "WOKE GRACIE UP!" 2 nights in a row now lets hope she continues this pattern during the week! Got Gracie ready in her Easter outfit than got myself ready and we were off to lunch with Happy and Grammy. After lunch we went back home and decided to plant new flowers in the yard all during a horrific rain storm. (THAT WAS MY IDEA) not one of the best one's I've had. After that we sat around and watched TV. I fed Gracie at 9:30 and she was fast asleep and Izzy and I were asleep by 10:30..NICE

Monday: Gracie and I got up at 5:30am...I HATE MONDAYS! I fed her and then started to get ready for work. Izzy was not feeling well and called out of work and got back into bed. Gracie sat in the bathroom with me while I was getting ready because she was crying and I guess Izzy could not help out because he was too sick...WHATEVER. Gracie and I left to start our day. I dropped her off at Beth's and then I was on my way to work. Work was just a normal Monday. (CRAPPY) Left work at 4:55 and was on my way to pick Gracie up at Beth's. I got Gracie and Zach and left Beth's. I dropped Zach off at home and then Gracie and I were on our way home. We ate dinner took showers well a bath for Gracie had dinner then went to watch some softball and take a walk at the park. Came home watched some TV did some chores around the house fed Gracie and we were all sound asleep at 10:30. I must say I am loving Gracie's new sleeping pattern, she is like a whole new baby. IT'S BEEN GREAT!

So now you are all caught up on whats been going on for the last five days and we got up at 6:15 this morning to start all over again. We don't really change our schedule too much during the week so whatever we did yesterday is what we will be doing till Friday! I hate the rat race!

Final Note: Tomorrow is Em's birthday she has been waiting all month for this big day and it is finally here. Please be sure to wish her a very happy 21st birthday!!!! :)

PS I will post some pictures of our adventures over the past few days tonight

Until Next Time.....Blog to update

Goodbye Gracie Gump!

I am happy to announce that as of today Gracie officially will have her named changed from Gracie Gump to Gracie Prat! We were very excited and surprised today when we had gone to see Dr. Romano. Gracie was able to have x-rays of her hips finally and the outcome was outstanding. I was under the impression that my little baby was going to be in her harness for another 4 weeks but the results were my baby is out of her harness TODAY! Yeah!!!!! I was so happy when I was told Gracie is done with the harness and she can begin doing all the activities a 7 week old does! HAHAHA...Dr. Mark (We love him) also told me that we don't have to do anything special when handling her she is normal! Anyway here is a picture I took of Gracie tonight wearing footsie pajamas for the first time :) I don't even care how much of a pain in the neck it will be to take it on and off to change her diaper. I was just so happy she is able to wear them! I'm not sure how long that feeling will last!!! HAHAHAHA

Until Next Time.....Blog to share

Who Are You

I'm glad to be back to are question and answering. I have had a rough couple of days so today I need to talk about something fun and interesting...STRESS FREE. So the question for today is:

What is one thing that many people don't know about you?

This is a tough question for me because I talk to anyone that will listen and I always talk about myself so it might be kinda hard to think of something that y'all don't know about me. Okay here is something I think people might be surprised to know about me and most people don't know this but I hate walking into a room full of people. Once I am in the room i am fine and most of the time I am the person holding court on stage you know the entertainer. LOL I'm not sure why I panic at first but it's pretty bad. My palms get all sweaty and my belly hurts when I first approach the room. Is this not the funniest thing you ever heard. (For those of you that know me) For those very few seconds I'm the shy girl who wants to hide in the corner of the room and not talk at all. I think I may get this trait for my sister...HAHAHA just kidding. I don't know where this came from but it sure is odd.

I think about this often about why I feel this way and I come up with no explanation except as I grow older and "wiser" people's opinions about me are very important to me. I put the wiser in quotes because I'm not sure if it is so wise to worry so much about what people think. As a child I know I did not care what people thought about me and thinking about it I was a lot calmer and free to be who I wanted to be. Now I feel like I worry so much about being the person others expect me to be. Is that really living and enjoying life for all its worth. I don't think it is. I think it might be time for a change.

Life only comes once and you have to make sure that at the end of this crazy ride you are able to think to yourself boy this has been one hell of a ride but I have no regrets. If you are unable to say that about your life maybe it is time to change. remember its never to late.

Now that I have shared this part of myself with all of you please let me know something about each of you that most people don't know. I look forward to reading your comments.

Until next Time....Blog to tell

P.S. Don't look for me walking into a room full of people anytime soon! LOL

Husbands are GREAT.....

So you all know I became a mom for the first time almost seven weeks ago:) Well these seven weeks have been the hardest weeks of my life. Last week was my first week back to work which was great and I just need to get into the schedule of running on six hours sleep. All and all not too many complaints,but of course I have one.

I am so sick and tired of my husband telling me, "I can't she wants you." WTF please tell me that as she gets older and bigger this will change. I'm afraid that you are all going to tell me this will never change! I don't think its very fair that most men get to eat, shower, dress, watch TV all in peace and quiet and most moms have to do all of that with a million interruptions and keep the husband happy at the same time. WHATEVER I'm over it!

Ladies and Gentleman I promise you all tonight Tuesday March 18, 2008 this will be the last night this happens at my house! I will do everything in my power to break this even if it means I have to leave the house for a couple of hours without the baby. Something has to change. Why to people..(Husbands) think its are "JOB" to take care of the kids 24/7? When is it their turn? I don't want to do all the work and if I think about long enough I think he was the one working so hard to make the baby!

So before I go postal and you see me on the news for cutting my husband's ding ding off and throwing it in the middle of the road please help me calm down and teach me how to deal!

Until Next Time...Blog if your crazy!

Happy St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's Day Wish for You

May there always be work for your hands to do,

May your purse always hold a coin or two,

May the sun always shine on your windowpane,

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain,

May the hand of a friend always be near you,

All the luck o' the Irish I'm happy to send you,

With a wish that good fortune & joy may attend you

LISTEN TO ME!!!!

So here's the deal, I don't mind helping people when they have a question in fact it makes me feel good when people need me. Here's what I do mind is when people ask me the same question over and over again! I think when someone does that to me it tells me 1 of 2 things about them. 1. You have no respect for me and you really don't want the answer or 2. YOU ARE DUMB AS HELL! I hope for most it is the first but I have a feeling it is the second! :)

I wonder why people don't listen. I mean we all have this problem. Is it because we live in such a fast passed world that we are too busy to listen? Maybe we are just afraid to listen because we are going to hear something that will hurt us? It just might be that we are to selfish to care about what people are saying when they are speaking to you. Whatever the reason is I find it very frustrating. I'm sure that when you are talking to people like your husbands kids boyfriend co-workers friends whoever and the ask you a million times, "What did you say" or they ask the same question a million times because they "forgot" the answer to the question the first 999,999 times you gave them the answer.

So maybe we should all try a little harder to hear instead of just listening. Maybe we should all be like the wise old owl.

A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?

Until Next Time...Blog to hear

Follow up to back to work

So the day is over. Couple of highlights of the day:

1. I fell asleep at my desk a few times! (No Naps......No Good)
2. Beth called at 10am to tell me Izzy had already called to check on Gracie
3. I didn't call once! (What could I teach a mother of four!)
4. We went to pick Gracie up and Little Donovan had a fit that we were taking her home :)

All in all it was a good day back at work. It was nice to feel needed by someone other than a newborn baby. I found that my job in the corporate world is a whole lot easier than my job as a stay at home mom. Hands down to you stay at home moms, I don't know how you do it! I am a bit tired but aren't we all! Nevertheless I will push through and finish the day and hopefully Gracie will have a smooth night and we can get to bed early. Wish me luck! Maybe instead of luck wish I pull energy out of my hoo-haw and I survive the week!

Until Next Time......Blog On

Back To Work

I have begun my first day of work back at the hilton!:)We had a little bit of a rough night last so we didn't get much sleep but's thats ok. Between my back pain and Gracie's belly ache we got about 4 hours sleep, I hope we do better tonight!

I feel good being back at work but I can tell I really will miss Gracie today. When we dropped her off this morning it was a little sad but I think being away from her will make me appreciate her more. Maybe the crying will not bother me so much. (YEAH RIGHT)

I will keep you all posted tonight as to how my day was today at work and without Gracie. This should be intresting!

Until Later......Blog for fun

Sleeping Beauty

So let me just let you all that I am very scared of dying and I have not yet comes to terms with death. My question today may help me overcome this fear but probally not. Let me just get to the question.The question is.....

If you could choose how you were going to die, what would you choose your death to be?

I think that if I could choose my own death I would want it to be in my sleep. I would be at home in my own bed. When I got in bed that night I would just think it was like any other night so I would not be scared and as far as I was concerned I would be waking up in the morning. I think this would be the most peaceful way to go, for me anyway. My great grandfather passed away that way and I always thought wow that was so peaceful that he went to sleep forever. It seems that his passing was the only death that has never scared me. I am not sure this question has made me feel any better about dying but at maybe its a start of coming to terms with the cycle of life. I wonder if other people would choose this method or would rather have a quick death either way in the end its going to happen so how will you go?

Ok on a lighter note its 18 days till Em's Birthday!:) I must let her know I'm keeping track and I have to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Until Next Time.....Blog till you die!

Breaking the Law

I know that we have all thought about this at one time or another in our lives even if you don't want to admit it! The question of the day is....

If you could commit any crime and get away with it, what would you do?

So when I first thought about this I knew right away it would be a murder. I might have thought about this more than once, In fact I think about it daily when I am at work!:) After thinking about it for a minute longer I cahnged my mind. I would robb a casino. You heard right just like Ocean's Eleven. Money would do so much more for me than killing a person would. With money I would never have to see the people I hate ever again. I would be rich. It would be like killing 2 birds with one stone!:) I always try to get the most of everything without working too hard for it :) It would be a great life for me and my family. We would be able to afford anything we want. What's better than that!!!!


Until Next Time......Blog till you drop

Sing me a song

I am looking forward to reading your answer on this one. So today's question is........

If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, which song would you choose?

This is a hard one right! One song for the rest of my life OMG! So I think I might have to pick....

NEVER SAY GOODBYE

This song brings back so many great childhood memories for me not to mention BonJovi rocks! I don't ever get sick of hearing that song. I also think it is the only song that allows me to feel every emotion known to man in 4 minutes! I wonder if I would be able to only listen to one song how would i deal with that. It doesn't matter how I would deal because it would never happen....Thank God!

Until Next Time......Blog along with me

And the question is.........

I have decided to change things up a little and until I get sick of this or your answers my blog will now be dedicated to random questions everyday which I will answer too. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as me. Here is the question for today:

If you could change one thing about your spouse or significant other, what would it be?

First of all why can it only be ONE thing! :) I have pages of changes for my husband....JUST KIDDING. Ok for real if I could change one thing about my husband I think the thing that would benefit us the most would be to give him more confidence. I swear if he changed the way he felt about himself he would be a better husband,father,friend,and emolyee. I feel like he has just let great opportunities pass him by because he did not believe in himself. I sometimes think to myself if I could give him an ounce of my confidence his life would be so much better in turn that would make my life better. It's safe to say you CAN'T teach an old dog new tricks. If this is the one thing I would change about my husband it could be worse so I can't really complain.....YES I CAN because this is my blog and i can do whatever I want!:)

That was fun. I hope by posting these questions and answers we will get to know things about eachother that otherwise we might not ever had known. If you do not want to answer the questions that's ok ......ENJOY

One more thing, I have to give a shout out to my sister. It's 22 days till her 21st birthday (AGAIN) So I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY. She told me I had to say happy birthday everyday till her birthday. She's strange but aren't we all :)


Until Next Time.....Blog for fun

The Pain Won't Go Away

So this afternoon I thought I would clean up the house and while fixing the pillows on the couch I found myself dropped to my knees in pain! OMG I never felt pain like this...VERY BAD! As I tried to get up I was shaking from the pain and I realized it was my back! I have never had back problems so I was shocked to find myself in this much pain. I did not know what to do or how to move. It was even scary. I tried to get up and found myself on the ground not moving at all. I had no idea what to do or how to make the pain go away. I called my mom and she helped me out with what to do to move and how to fix the pain. So I should be good right.....WRONG. I tried to go and get Gracie who was sitting in a ver dirty stinky diaper crying her little eyes out and when I went to lift her there I feel to my knees again! Now what to do bad back and unable to take care of the baby so you guessed it I called my mom! Quick fix she came over and gave the baby a bath and settled her in. Good right.....No she left so what did I do next, called my cousin over who is now and spending the night so she can take care of the baby.

The moral of the story is this. You can pick and choose your friends but not your family. But at the end of the day would you trade them in anyway for me the answer is no. The times I nned them most they are always there.

PS- 23 days till Em's birthday.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAT

Until Next Time.....No matter how you feel BLOG

Anything You Can Do I Can Do BETTER!

This is for you Em!
