Yes, my dear followers, it's time for my quarterly post!  Every week I tell myself, "I'm going to write about this and that this weekend."  But alas!  It never fails...I don't.  But, Mac has been telling me (yes, Mac) to write.  Every time I bring it up to him, he says, "I'll be looking for that blog post this weekend!!"  So, here I am.  Free writing my blog.  I guess with Christmas upon us,

Hello, my lovely strangers!  I told you I'd come back sometime.  I know, March to August.  Just a small vacation.  But I'm here now!  Let me catch you up on my five months of Mondays. You've seen me mention Mac in my posts from September to March.  Well, Mac is no more. We'll leave it at that, but it was a massive heartbreak for me.  I'll just say August was a rough month for me.  Still

OK, folks...I know..I'm getting the emails and I appreciate them. Sometimes life takes twists and turns..and time just sweeps away.  If Six Flags could make a rollercoaster called "Janie's Life", they'd make millions..But it would probably stop hearts.  I'll be back soon, I promise.  I have college finals this weekend, so hopefully Sunday I can write and tell you how I fucked away yet another

Wow, another month has come and gone!  How the days are just jumbling together!  We had quite the mild winter here, proving that hell hasn't frozen over yet... So, I thought I'd begin my stickies with this little gem: I tweet, I facebook, I myspace, I togetherweserved, I chat, I IM, I text.  I need an online support group for my online addiction.  However, twitter sometimes just gets

Well, I haven't paid homage to my good blogger friend Supah Mommy in months, it would seem.  But the time has come to get back in the Super Stickies saddle...It's been so long, I'm not even sure she does it any more, but what the hell! Did room inspections this weekend.  Now, they weren't intentional room inspections but were brought about after I was able to get Prodigal's door open and

Hello my devoted readers! Last week, I was reading an article about the new Denise Richards movie based on the website Cougar Life.  First, let me say I didn't know Denise Richards acted.  Or attempts to act, anyway.  What little I've seen her in doesn't make me think, "Ahhh, Academy Award in her future!"  But, that aside, my curiosity got to me and I checked out the website. Not that I have a

Yep, thought that would get your attention... Holy shit!  So, I'm innocently reading my old posts when I came across this gem from the past.  Do you remember, when you were a kid, sitting down to dinner and listening or seeing the commercial for douches?  It never failed, as soon as you sat down to eat, a Summer's Eve commercial would come on.  Some chick asking her mom how she stays fresh.  Now

Hello, folks!  Well, another Thanksgiving has come and gone.  My bank account is already suffering a Christmas shopping hangover..ugh.  First tweet on Thanksgiving:  So, did anyone else spill sugar on the floor, cranberry sauce on the counter and set a cookbook on fire?  No?  Huh... Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.  One of the reasons is because I cook.  I cook all day long.  I get

Hello my friends! I hope that you are having a great holiday season.  Doesn't it seem to just come too fast anymore?  I thought I was burning my fingers on fireworks just last weekend..Sheesh! So, on with Stick It, Tuesday!  It was a fave with my close friend Drew, so I was inspired to come back. Let's see...Hmmmm.... I'm again a single mom, so I have the three boys and ALL their friends.  My

Hello, folks! Again, been a while since I've been here.  Life gets busy and my writing time gets smaller.  Although this is my stress relief, I haven't visited often enough. My life seems to be in turmoil.  My marriage is going away, I worked 122  hours in the past two weeks.  I realized, due to my dear friend Drew, I need some down time. So, here I am..Peri-menopausal, emotional (unfamiliar

Hello strangers!  I'm amazed every time I log in and find that I haven't lost any followers!  Almost as amazed to find that it's been months since I've posted...I'm in awe that Christmas is almost here already.  As most of you will learn, time goes by faster as you get older.  I also know now why hamsters get a kick outta the wheel.  Watching them is like watching my life...Round and round we go,

Hello all.  So, if you follow me on Twitter, you know that I have had an epic week of failure.  Marital problems from hell.  I'm sure we'll get through them, but for now it's pretty rough.  That happened on Wednesday.  On Friday morning, I get a phone call from the police station that The Man was taken to the hospital by bus--mild heart attack.  Now, to kibitz, he's fine.  Absolutely fine.  He's

Hey, want my job?  It's an easy, no-brainer, people and customer-oriented job.  You get to interact with all level of government officials and civilians.  It's a lot of fun.  But you know what??  ONE person in my office makes it the most stressful job I've probably done.  THIS from a woman who ran a flight deck on an aircraft carrier, no less!! So, here's the deal:  I've been in the Federal

OK, I'll admit--I haven't written much on here.  I have overused the excuse of being busy but really, it's hard to blog from home and nearly impossible to do from work.  So I get on here when I can and do my best to try and amuse at least some of you.  I just find it interesting that the less I write the more followers I get.  Last time I posted I LOST two followers.  Makes me scratch my head a

What a great weekend!  Technically, it wasn't his first baseball game but it was the first one he'll remember. Last one I took him to was four years ago, this month actually.  I used to be a huge baseball fan, even to the point of taping missed games.  I kinda lost interest in it when the kids started Little League, wrestling, lacrosse, football, tae kwon do, etc.  Besides,  after Junior and The

I posted this about nine months ago.  I felt the urge to post it again considering how my Monday started.  Seriously.  MONDAY.  Monday is a whore and I'm convinced of it more and more each and every week. I log into Facebook this morning and see that I have X-number of unread emails.  As I'm going through them, I see a somewhate familiar name. Wilma.  I know several Wilmas but this one seemed

I love Supah, she is mahhhvelous!  She is also patient and kind and knows that I pay her homage when I can... So, let's get it started in here, shall we? First, I'd like to tell stickies something:   They really are...All over my desk, on my cabinets, whereever.  It looks like Kathy Bates' mirror in The Family That Preys...except I don't have early onset Alzheimer's...I FEEL like it,

Well, the weather outside is delightful and my work/college load is frightful.  I'm pretty sure the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train, but yet I refuse to walk away from it.  Or run....Reminds me of "A Bug's Life"...Don't go into the light!  I can't help it, it's too beautiful!  Zzzzzzzzzttttttt.  Yeah, that's me and life is the bug light... Anyway, my girl Stacy hit me up

I think my Monday just got OH so much better!!  My girl Just Stacy thinks I'm beautiful!!  Ahhh, I luvs her so much!  But two awards in one week???  I'm so honored!  *blush So, before I write my post I have to follow the rules.  Seven things about myself I have to spill and then award this to 15 bloggers.  BUT, like Stacy, I'm breaking the rules.  I'm just gonna send it to how ever many I want!!

I thought I'd drop by to see how many followers I've lost and I've actually GAINED them!  I mean, that's like losing weight after you STOP going to the gym, right?  My work has kept me swamped lately, and I'm still blowing off my college classes.  I really need to stop THAT!  But anyway, here I am. Today I read that some woman from New Jersey WANTS to be the world's fattest woman.  Now, the

Living with three and a half men in the house is interesting, to say the least.  It is amazing to me that everyday I learn something new about the male species.  For instance, did you know that Wii Sports causes six year olds to spout gas with every golf swing or bowling ball release?  What? You didn't???  Well, lesson number one:  It does. Now, I'm a conservative by nature but only politically.

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:

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

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

As I sit pondering the wonders of the Christmas season such as people being nicer; walking a little slower; more patience with others; the smell of cookies in the oven and the rosy cheeks of the boys as they come in from sledding to share hot chocolate in front of the fireplace, I ask myself (and you), “What is my most fucked up memory of Christmas?” I would have to say Christmas 1986.

After a month, I'm finally back on Stick It, Tuesday!  Let me just say that college sucked the life outta me.  I thought football was bad. Of course, I probably failed my history class and God was watching me stress so he sent snow and now my biology final is the second weekend in January.  So, my wit is dull right now.  Hopefully one of these will give you a chuckle, though!  If not, please lie.

OK, I admit it...I've been very neglectful of my blog and  my followers.  I would like thank those of you that didn't bail on me, BTW.  So, WTF??  Did Cutest Blog on the Block go under?  Is it MY network?  I know it's been a month or so, but did someone steal my background??  Can YOU see it??  I can't!  I'm freaking the fuck out here!!  Someone stole my balls!!!! Now, I'm not sure if there is

At last, I've have found the time to come back for my favorite day of the week--Stick It, Tuesday.  I can't believe it's already been two weeks since my last post.  The holidays, school, sports, work....Everything seems to just suck the gotdamned life outta me! But alas, I am here.  I see I've lost a few followers due to being a complete slacker, *sigh.  Oh well, maybe they'll come back after

I've written a couple of posts about embarassing my sons.  This time, it was a mutual embarassment.... Due to the hours The Man and I work, the teens help out around the house a lot. They vacuum, dishes, feed the crew, take care of Little Man, things like that.  When it comes to the laundry, I only allow Oldest Son to wash it.  Usually, I'll throw it in then the boys fold it.  When it comes to

I love Stick It, Tuesdays!  Paying tribute to all those near and dear with little love notes--NOT!  This week, I'd love to pretend that all the animals in and out of my house could read.  If they could, this is what I would say: And for the biggest animal in my house, you know I love you but...... I hope you smiled at least once during this post.  I've been so busy with work,

Hey!!  It's Friday and it's Halloween weekend!  Yay!!  As I'm writing a guest post for the Barefoot Dreamer today, I'm just going to put a joke up that gave me a hearty laugh this morning: Ahhh, the wisdom of youth.... Have a great Halloween!  I know mine will be full of football, trick or treating and drunken debauchery at a costume party tomorrow night!  You'll hear about it Sunday, I'm

Hmm, it's Stick It, Tuesday.  I have to admit, not a fan of Tuesdays in general, but these do make it more tolerable.  It's time to pay homage to Chief, because she turned me onto it, and Supah Mommy because she's just a great read and fun blogging friend. So, here goes my genius this week: My middle son came down with a nasty case of the flu.  No, not H1N1, just the regular kills more than

So, I'm sitting here reading emails from my loyal 46, no wait 45 just now, followers asking why I can't find anything to write about.  Martie, whom I only know through emails and blogging, is a beautiful blogger out of Texas.  I love her and she seems to have impeccable timing.  She asked, "You have nothing to blog about???  But I love reading your blog!  You always make me smile."  So, I sat

OK, I only put things off when I FEEL like putting things off.  I always have.  This week, I've had issues with getting motivated for anything.  I mean ANYTHING!!  It may be because of the shitty weather or maybe I just need some down time.  I personally think it's because of football.  There hasn't been any this week.  Little Man's practices have been canceled because of the weather (they close

Ahhh, Tuesday!  Today you are my second favorite day of the week.  Why me, you ask?  Because it was a three day weekend and you, my love, are the first day of a short week.  THAT means, the weeks is 1/4 done already! So, it's time to pay homage to Supahmommy with my Stick It, Tuesday.  What to write, what to write.... Went shopping for a new vehicle this weekend.... We were entertained by a

*Sigh...Another birthday coming up!  The Man turns 40 this month!  Now, I can't top what I got him for Father's Day, so what do I do??  I've come up with several options:  A nice dinner out, acessories for the Manly Men truck (ala my man Sage), a surprise party with friends, getting an hotel room for the weekend and doing some crazy jungle fucking....There are just so many options!!  The hard

I received the below from a friend via email.  Now I would give credit where credit is due, but I have no idea where these quotes came from.  The only reason I would say this post is for the guys is #6--which, by the way, cracked me the fuck up.  Of course, she was crack up too!! 1. I was walking through the cemetery this morning and saw a guy crouching down behind a tombstone ... I said, "

Ah, it's Stick It, Tuesday.  I have to get my creative side out now.  Not sure I can do that today....But I'll give it the old college try (I don't know what that is, I heard it in an old movie once).  I love my husband, really.... How lucky am I to meet people like this on the street!! I could have done without starting my day like this...... But, I should have known something bad was

Now that I have your attention.... Just kidding.  I recently read a great post by Mommy Geekology about being horny.  It is an AWESOME post!  I left her a comment that basically said, "Wait until you pass through 40....It's OUT OF CONTROL then!" It is.  I married a younger man thinking he would or could keep up.  I think I've completely worn him out.  I thought my sex drive was bad when I was

I have totally been turned onto these things over at Chief's place.   Now, I don't have her wicked sticky skills but hopefully I'll get there with practice.  I mean, everything takes time and practice to perfect, don't you think? If you'd like to join in the fun, go see Supahmommy here to get the button and get in on the fun.

I find it ironic that I wrote a blog containing pick up lines, given what happened to me this morning!  Now, I've had some strange shit happen before, like the time The Man and I were out at one of the local bars.  We wound up sitting with an extremely amorous couple.  I was amazed and asked them how long they had been married.  He replied that they had been married 10 years and were more in love

Relax, folks...I'm not advocating woman beating.  I'm just saying I needed some "slapping" this week:  Let's start with my screw ups: I totally misunderstood a friend this week.  Well, let's just say I've been a complete and total psycho-bitch when it comes to this friend.  When I didn't hear from him for a while, I decided to fire for effect.  Luckily, he has a beautiful heart and

Well, this is just another random posting of things going through my head.  I think you all will be very proud to know that since my job got a little tense, I've managed to put a pseudo-muzzle on my inner voice with Tourette's.  Not completely, but I do manage to pause for a few seconds and actually think.  THAT said, I'm gonna say it on here!

Yes, I admit it...I'm a little sick and twisted mother who loves to torment her sons.  Jim can take it but David is somewhat shy.  So, the other day I found the perfect way to embarass him.  Now, be warned:  You can only pull this off once.  If you attempt this dangerous maneuver twice?  He'll never go anywhere with you again. We were walking through the mall, waiting for Cloudy With a Chance

OK, so they captured said psycho that we talked about on Friday.  I'm not your news guru or the current event blogger of the week, but I HAD to follow this up.  I love stupidity--it comes in so many shapes and sizes.  Now, you know I'm married to a cop (I think I mention it in every post--keeps the stalkers at bay because, yeah I'm THAT hot) so I love my law enforcement guys.  I do.  I have

And here I thought I'd have nothing to write about this morning....Oh, how wrong I was!!  All you have to do is open up the news and get your fill of crazy.  I'll give you the headline and some highlights, then let you be the judge: The headline reads:  Insane Killer Escapes During Mental Institution's Field Trip "Police are searching for killer committed to a mental institution after he

"Hey hon, George wants to know if I can go to his house for a play date?"  Well, that's not EXACTLY what was said by The Man, but it may have well been!  You see, the east coast has it's drawbacks when it comes to Monday Night Football.  Specifically, kick-off isn't until 9 or 10 p.m.  Last night was a double-header, so the first kick-off was at 7.  Not so bad. So, back to the play date.  See,

Finally!  The football season has begun. I would like to start this week by letting you read a letter I wrote to football today. Dear Football: Where have you been, my friend?  It seems forever since we've gotten drunk together over some barnyard pimp and ribs on the grill!  I mean, debating you with my friends just isn't the same when you're away!  You've been the glue to bring us together for

Today to me and, I think, most of us is a solemn day.  Working in DC, it brings new meaning seeing the Pentagon daily and listening to the stories of people that were here the day everything changed.  One of the women recalled to me yesterday of watching the Pentagon burn from her office window.  I can't imagine.  I know where I was and what I was feeling. I was stationed in California and it

This is just a short, quick post about something that happened this week.  David, as you know, is my middle son.  He's my student-athlete, but not jock.  JIM is the jock.  Jim is the stud.  Jim has had more girlfriends than I can keep track of.  Jim and I talk about everything.  Although many of my friends snicker, he is very open with me about the status of his virginity.  I'm sure he's gotten

I am just off the charts, I swear.  I woke up this morning at 0500 to this CRAZY thunderstorm.  I mean, window-rattling crazy storm.  Because our bedroom has 10 windows, it's pretty easy to hear storms like that!  Not to mention lightning lighting up my darkened room.  So I jump out of bed because I hadn't heard Carlos get ready for work (too much tequila last night, as the song goes) to make

I've had the week from hell.  Seriously?  The week from H-E-L-L.  I have moved desks four times in three weeks.  This week alone, I've had to call the IT guys to move my profile three times.  The phone guy and I have a lunch date set up since he's moved my phone seven times in four months.  My personal IT guy's new baby has the same name as Little Man because he fell in love with it listening to

This week, I've been oft-reminded of the song, "Things that make you go HMMM"...So here's just a few.If you're overweight, tight clothes don't make you look thin. Trust me. I want your mirror if you think they do. The hmmm--When the fuck did bra fat and belly rolls become fashionable? I'm all about being comfortable with your body, and I have nothing against fat people (see my post "I'm gonna

"Mom! Come run through the sprinkler with me!" he called. I was sitting on the deck, watching him cool off after a very hot football practice. "No, hon! Mommy doesn't want to get wet!" I said. With that voice that tugs your heartstrings that only a your own child can do, "Please?? Mommy, PLEASE?" "No!" I said almost too sternly. "I really don't want to get wet!"I watched him running

I know, I know..Well worn phrase but I'm just gettin' warmed up! Little Man started his first year of football last week and I'm completely, ummm, is 'stoked' still a word?? Overjoyed just doesn't seem to fit with football. I mean, think about it: "Hey Joe, Little Man took a helmet to the groin today! I'm so overjoyed he's in football!" Too chicky. I need a jock thing to say. How about, "

This isn't the post I started out writing. I have a great one in work about Little Man's football practices this week. I guess I'll save THAT one until after his first game tomorrow. So, that said, this post is late for Fatherhood Friday--I apologize to my dear friends at dadblogs.com. I'm probably not even in the top 10 now this week....*sniffAnyway, I realized this morning that I have

For the life of me, I can't figure out what my deal is. Have you ever just been in a mood??? I'm like Ouisa from Steel Magnolias, except worse. The worst part about it is, I don't know why!! I have no drama in my marriage, no drama in my job (except for the fact that I hate it--but I have a job, that's a bonus), no drama with most of my friends, so why this urge to stab people in the eye

Personally, I think of myself as a Mother Bear. I tried being the Kool-Aid mom, the perfect woman who can balance work and kids and marriage and husband and home and entertaining and, and, and, and....It didn't work for me. I found that by trying to be perfect, I was missing the best part of motherhood--just being a mom. Sometimes I know that I am too protective of my boys. I know that there

When I was in the military, one of my collateral duties was teaching diversity. I used to start the class by asking, "Is anyone here prejudiced?" NO ONE would raise their hand but me. To horrified stares and uncomfortable squirming. I would call them out! If you tell me you're not prejudiced, then you're a liar. Plain and simple--a big, fat, namby pamby liar. Your pants are on fire and

I have to step away from the vacation stories I wanted to tell you, back up and do the Lammie Blog.In the first vacation photo, you see Little Man asleep with his lifelong pal, Lammie. If he travels, he goes NOWHERE without Lammie. Lams may stay in the vehicle, but he travels with us.Now Lammie's origins are somewhat fun. He was actually a gift for Jim when he was born. He is a product from Gund

Well, for those of you that I "talk" to regulary, please forgive me for waiting over a week to start blogging about the vacation. I didn't do it while ON vacation for two reasons: One, I was ON VACATION and two, I really have this weird thing about putting out there on the internet where I am, when I'm going to be home, who I'm with, what we're doing, etc. It's one thing on facebook where you can

We've been on vacation with the kids for nine days now. We flew out of Baltimore to Seattle for a two-graduation family celebration at my sister's house. It was the first time ALL of my brothers and sisters have been together since 1986. There was only one nephew missing out of everyone. It was a phenomenal weekend. We drove over the mountains so I could show my kids the small town that I grew up

Happy Father's Day, everyone! A couple posts ago, I was trying to figure out what to get Carlos for Father's Day. Thanks for the input from all my Dad Blog friends. You'll be happy to know that I took all over your advice and it was a great day!What do you get a man that doesn't really want anything? He bought his personal weapon (number three) last week. He has plenty of ammo, all the police

As I sit here watching one of the greatest sports movies ever--Major League--I can't help but think of the chat I had yesterday on Dad Blogs.My blog is Boobs, Ballgames and Beer. Now, I've talked about ball games, I've talked about beer but I have yet to approach the subject of boobs. I'm four beers in after work, so I'm pretty relaxed right now and I hope the ideas just flow.As we talked

As you know, it's Father's Day weekend. I'm sitting here, wracking my brain trying to figure out what to get The Man! He doesn't want anything, that's the problem. Even worse, I can't think of anything he needs--besides new boxers, but seriously if we had our choice, we'd buy you new ones instead of trying to wash the ones you have!I have found this great blog site called Dad Blogs.

As I sit here writing tonight, I have to tell you that a few things have enlightened me this week. I write randomly on here and have been trying to figure out why! I have great boobs, I love ball games AND beer...So why does this not feel comfortable to me? Because in order to have a great blog, you need to write about your passion. What's my passion? My kids. Hands-down, my kids. Since

I love the draft. I mean, I REAAALLLLYYY love the draft. You know why? It signals that football season is almost here. It's the beginning of fantasy football and comraderie. Of Boobs, Ballgames and Beer. I used to be a HUGE baseball fan, but fell off that wagon. I can barely watch it on TV anymore. I think that sport has just gotten out of control. I moved back to football and am falling

Wow, sorry folks! I can't believe it's been almost a month since I posted anything! What recession? I've been a shopping MANIAC!! It's gotten so bad that Carlos has banned me from not only Home Depot, but WALGREENS! Have you been? They have some great stuff in there!

As you remember, I'm on probation from the Mancave. It sucks. It REALLY sucks. But the great thing about being the Queen in my house? I can break the rules. Now, if you don't know it, I am the only female in my house. I have three sons, a male German Shepherd and a male tabby cat. Well, that's not exactly accurate. We also have two hamsters. Females. They fight CONSTANTLY! See why I'm the only

I am a football fan. A big one. Not the "dress up with the warpaint" type, but a pretty big fan none the less. The only thing I HATE about FIOS and the east coast? FIOS doesn't have the NFL package (like DIRECTV) and we only get three football games on Sunday--two of those are usually Ravens & Redskins.So, I know the game. My husband, being the Raider fanatic that he is, knows it better. Not much

OK, sports fans! If you're new to here, let me tell you a little about myself. I'm a retired Navy Chief. I'm a mom to three boys ages 5, 14 & 16. My husband is a Marine turned cop. Our house is filled with fans of the Seahawks (me), Raiders (Carlos), Cowboys (Jim, my oldest), Broncos (David, our middle) and "whoever is the good guys in the game" (Abe the youngest). I'm the neighborhood tool chick
