Stick It, Tuesday!!

Ok, so it's time for me to pay my weekly (or monthly even quarterly as my life has been going) to Supah Mommy!  So, without further ado.....

So, that's all for this week!  Go visit my sexy friends like Danielle, Aunt Becky, Sage, Trooper Thorn and of course Mommy Geek and Chibi Jeebs.  For even more of my sexy friends, check out the blogs I stalk!  So, until next time, I leave you with this:

Remember how cool THOSE were??  (Actually, I've never seen them before...)

Stick It, Tuesday

Well, my weekly homage to Supah Mommy.  It's been a while, but since my semester is over and I have two weeks until the next one, hopefully my creativity will come back and I can entertain you again.

That's it for today, folks.  Hopefully you got a smile out of at least one or your brain started turning out that National Sex Month idea.  I think we should just make it a reality. Who knows?  Maybe 2010 should be International Sex Year?  You have to have sex in at least three foreign countrie---yes, Canada, Mexico and North Dakota count.

Now go pay homage to my most favorites Sexy Sage, Beautiful Barefoot Dreamer, Marvelous Martie and of course, THE Supah Mommy.

My Blahhhg

. 

So I was just sitting here, minding my own business when up pops this picture. I almost peed myself laughing. My first though was, "Holy cow! When was that picture taken of me???" Then I realized I had been searching crack whores..I mean, posters.

It really cheered me to see this picture, honestly!  I've been "blah" since the holidays.  Oh, they were GREAT, don't misunderstand but these are what are called the "Dark Ages" at the Naval Academy.  Those yucky winter days between New Year's and spring break.  And our weather isn't helping lift my spirits.  Although, after seeing 55 inches of snow in New York I shouldn't complain about the cold.  (Last time I saw that much snow was Christmas 1986)

So, the hubs and I decided to do a weekend getaway. Actually, just an overnighter in downtown Annapolis.  Have I mentioned it's fucking cold here?  And it's REALLY cold when you decide to get out of the cab after dinner to bar hop, not even go into any bars and wind up walking back to your hotel like 3/4 of a mile away at 10 at night ...nearly froze the perfect ta-tas off!!  But, we had a blast anyway.  What what even better was Little Man learned my cell number and only called three times!  But besides the awesome, ummmm, "togetherness" we had, when we got home?  The house was CLEANED!  I mean, dishwasher was going, counters were wiped down, kids were fed.  My oldest never ceases to amaze me.

So, I'm sitting here doing not much of anything at all when I get facebooked by none other than my RECRUITER....Recruiter. The guy that put me in the Navy 25 years ago.  Yeah, I said the same thing--he's still alive???  Wow!!    Which made me think of one of my favorite posts.  Facebook.  I swear to God it has an evil soul.  I really think it was developed not as a networking site but a total fuck-with-your-head site.  And really?  If you don't know someone but you have a mutual friend (just ONE), why the fuck are you friending the person you don't know?  I get the whole six degrees of Kevin Bacon idea, but really?  I mean, if you say "Susie Blowzme", it had better takemore than six degrees to come up with Janie Woods. But honestly?  Who knows???  Susie Blowzme might be friends with Jack N. Off, who is friends with Mia Hand, and so on.  Next thing you know, I'm getting pelted with snowballs from Susie while Jack N. Off is buying me a round!!  Fuck!!!

Whew...sorry, I digressed there for a moment....Just had to get that off my chest!! 

Anyway, I know I'm just rambling today, so I'll leave you with this:

I love these fucking posters.....

 

Defining Moments

Recently, I read  a blog that touched me deeply.  This has never happened to me before and I  wasn't sure how to handle it.  My  friend Aunt Becky has had some very defining moments.

Mine make me sooooo thankful.
Defining moments, *sigh. They all have to do with my kids!

With my first son, knowing that I finally found unconditional love.

Looking at my oldest son and seeing a man in front of me and knowing that “I did that!”

Watching my middle son go from a very happy and outgoing little boy to deep inside a shell when their father and I split and knowing, “I did that…” then watching him come back out a few years later and thinking, “He did that, all on his own.” ( the split was so hard on us...how do you break up the "perfect marriage"?)

Having my six year old sneak into my bed in the middle of the night, wrap around me and whisper, “you’re the best mom in the world” before he goes back to sleep.

I find my moments defined by my sons, just as my life has been since having them. As my teens get ready to launch, I find myself trying to grasp each moment they hug me and each “I luv u” text is saved. My biggest defining moments are looking at two men in front of me opening doors for women at the grocery store, saying “Yes Sir” to older men when speaking, eating with their elbows off the table, and again knowing: I DID THAT!!

Merry Christmas!
