Let me introduce Last Call....

Last Call would be my Fan-flippin-tastic Jersey Shore Nick Name.

Thats right....Last call!

S-Pop over at My Life in 3D shared this website with me.

I suggest you all go get a Jersey Shore nickname!

  The greatest site EVER!

By the way, Jason's nickname was Hard Hat!

I love it!

Religion and School?

Jaidyn my first grader came home this week with paperwork and artwork she did at school. Like always, I take it out of her awesome Jonas Brothers backpack and check it out. I was a little surprised by what I saw. She learned all about Kwanzaa. I asked her what she learned about it, heres our conversation,

Jaidyn, what is this? (Pointing to a kwanzaa art paper)

Mommy, thats all about Kwanzaa

(She said it more like, KAH- wan- ZEEAH)

What is Kwnazaa, Jaidyn?

Some weird holiday kind of like Christmas.

Oh really? Did you learn about Christmas?

No, but I already know mom!!

Oh, do you, why do we celebrate Christmas?

(Her hand on her hip, rolling her eyes at me)

Because Jesus was born!

They didn't teach you that at school sissy?

No, they talked about Santa...some people believe he brings gifts if your good,

but Justin was really bad so if Santa was real he wouldnt get ANY!!

Jaidyn, does santa bring you gifts?

No, Santa is pretend! Hes like a clown who helps celebrate Jesus.

Did you tell anyone at school he's pretend? (We talked about this)

NO Mommy! You told me I couldnt tell them their clothes don't match or that Santa isnt real!

Are you going to learn about the birth of Jesus at school?

Probably (She says it probaby) not. Sometimes they don't teach us important stuff.

So, my question is, if they are going to teach about one religion, shouldn't they teach about all? We are Christian, I am raising my children Christian but I do want them to have an understanding about other religions. Mainly because when they get questioned about their beliefs I want them to be able to intelligently talk about it. I don't want people to think they are Christian because that is all they know. Just like I don't want people to think I am republican because I don't know anything. I study both sides of Politics and I have studied many other religions. But, I don't think the schools should teach anything about it. At least not until the kids are older to have a discussion about their views. In first grade can we keep it to simple math and reading.

And to let you know why we don't teach them about Santa it's because one day they do learn he isn't real. I didn't want them to question if Jesus is real or if we made him up too. And yes, I have had to talk to Jaidyn about not telling other people they don't match. She is a little fashionista, there have been time I have come down the stairs and she points at me up and down and says, "Umm, no. You need to change." My 6 year old is a spitfire! A very nicely dressed spitfire!

Tuesdays.....Almost as bad as Mondays.

Oh Tuesday, I hate you! Now on to my ramblings.

Saturday we went to the P&G Christmas party. It was fun, nice to get dressed up and open bar!  We got gift baskets with laundry soap, toilet paper, swifter, cleaner....Gotta love P&G products! Funny story from that night, we were in a ballroom next to a wedding. While I was in the restroom the bride came in with red wine all over her dress. The maid of honor spilled her glass down the bride. (I would have elbow dropped her right there.) I felt so bad for the bride so I ran and got my trusty bottle of tide and we got the red wine out. Jason said we should have grabbed the marketing team and told them about it. Maybe they can give him a little bonus for it. Haha! Here is a picture from that night.

I have been thinking a lot lately about appropriate gym attire. I sold my elliptical and I am spending that money on workout clothes. I had one pair of yoga pants and I hate washing them after every workout. I have noticed a lot of women at the gym in full makeup and their hair done. I think thats overkill. Yes, I have makeup on when I go, if its in the evening. Its just the makeup I had on during the day. I wont retouch and I sweat so much the makeup is pretty much gone at the end of my workout. I also take off some of my eye makeup if i wore a lot that day. What is too much for the gym? At what point do you look like a gym rat who is on the prowl for one of those very nice muscular men there? By the way...if you have lipstick on, for the love of all that is holy, wipe it off! Lipstick in a gym is way too much! I will make fun of you for that one. Just a warning....now its fair game! Opinions please......

New products!

I didn't want to use my blog as a way to promote my business. So this will not happen often but I did get some new bows up for the holidays! I also just ordered Kstate, KU and MU ribbon for BBall! And I have to warn you..if I see a bow on someone's site that has been copied.....you might get called out! (I'm tired of ignoring it)

Tuesday Thoughts on Tiger.

Tiger Woods.

30 days ago, if someone said Tiger Woods you thought, Amazing Golfer.

Someone says Tiger now you think, Cheating Bastard.

When the story first broke Tiger was quoted saying..

"Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions."

I totally agreed with this statement....until like 35 more women came out of the woodwork. Really Tiger?! You owe the world an explanation now! If you dont want to explain your wrong doings....then dont become famous. Sorry! And Kudos to his wife for handling it...beating a golfer with his own clubs! Love It!

And to all the celebrity men who want to cheat on their wives....really, a waitress in LA or Vegas? You think she is a waitress by choice. No, she is waiting for her big break. And guess what she just got via your pants!

Screaming, crying and puking!

A quick recap of the past few days. I did the kids pictures for our Christmas Card. It involved a lot of screaming and crying and Emerson running away from us! I could NOT get a decent picture for our card so I went with what I got. It is by far my favorite card we have ever done!!!!

I also have been busting my butt working out at home for the past couple months. I have gotten some results but needed more. We finally joined a gym and I am so excited. The gym we joined has so many things for the kids too that are free to members. Dance, Karate, Swim., etc. I also decided to do a spin class.....Holy Crap!!! It was hardcore, i wanted to die, i literally wanted to be struck dead right there. I ended up throwing up a little bit but it was so worth it. I made it..i finished the 50 minute class!! Next class I will be wearing padded shorts. The pain in my butt has been unreal. I will take healing from childbirth to bike seat pain any day!!
