Thursday Thirteen
Thirteen things that made me smile today!
1. A first time visit from a hummingbird on the feeder in the kitchen window. Its been up for weeks now and this is the first time I've seen one that close! What pretty little birds, I hope he/she returns!
2. Getting a picture of the hummingbird even though its not the greatest of pictures.
3. The rent check came just in time for our vacation! I shouldn't spend it but it's nice to know it's there if we need it!
4. My naked two year old. Devin has stripped down to his birthday suit about 10 times today and runs in pointing to his privates. You can't help but laugh!
5 My oldest son Cody being a total nerd while I'm trying to take his picture.
6. Dany finally getting her room cleaned! She has a floor believe it or not!
7. Dale talking about having another child. How crazy is that?!
8. Miss B. Just seeing her little face makes me smile.
9. Not having to cook dinner. After cleaning up the kitchen the last thing I wanted to do was cook a big meal.
10. Thinking of our much needed vacation. One more week we will be heading to the Outer Banks!
11. An appt I had this afternoon was canceled. I really didn't feel going anyways so I was happy to get the call.
12. Only getting one bill in the mail! Woot!
13. Finally getting around to doing T13. I almost didn't bother. :P

This week there is an alphabet theme for T13. We were asked to choose one letter and post 13 words that begin with that letter to describe ourselves. I picked the letter F......
Fertile- Pretty self explanatory, I certainly have no trouble getting pregnant. lol
Family Oriented- Spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do.
Funny- Well at least I'd like to think so anyways.
Fantastic- See above answer.
Frumpy- More so then ever I am frumpy. I'm back into mommy mode and make-up, tanning and getting my nails done just doesn't happen anymore unfortunately.
Fat- As must as I'd love to deny this word describes me, it does. I really need to do something about it too.
Friendly- I'm a very friendly person and am pretty likeable I think.
Flirty- But only when I'm single.
Fun- I'd like to think I'm a fun person to be around, though my teenagers may think otherwise. ;)
Faithful- I am and will be faithful to my husband.
Feisty- Been known to be feisty at times.
Fish addict- Not the kind you eat, the kind you keep in aquariums. ;)
F-word- It may not describe me but it does describe what comes out of my mouth more often then it should.

Thursday Thirteen
Mood swings, conflict and tears. Thirteen things I just don't understand about my teenagers.
1. Why I have to ask them 100 times to pick up after themselves and they still don't do it. And I nag????? No, say it isn't so!
2. How they can hangout in their messy bedrooms when you can't even see the floor. Would drive me insane.
3. Why they can walk around all over the place with their friends but when they are 1/4 miles down the road they call for a ride home cause it's too far to walk. Can you say lazy?
4. Why I have to remind them constantly to close the bathroom window when it's 30 degrees out after they open it cause they're hot.
5. Why my daughter always forgets something when going to a friends house and calls asking me to drop it off to her. Happens every single time she goes somewhere and I now refuse to go back out again.
6. When they don't understand why I won't wake a baby up to bring them somewhere. Bugs the heck out of me and they still ask!
7. Why they leave 5 chips in the bottom of the bag and deny eating the whole bag when accused of doing so. Does this happen in your house too?
8. Why they can't bear to shut down the computer to save some life on our hard drive. Heaven forbid they not have an away message on AIM.
9. Why they take 3 sips off a can of soda, set it down and then get a new one cause they can't remember where they set it.
10.Why my daughter prints off so many pictures that we run out of ink. Never fails, when I try and print a coupon is when I discover it.
11. Why when a school project is due do they wait until 7:00 that evening to tell me they need to run to the crafts store to buy supplies. Grrr!
12. Why they think just because I drive a mini van I want to pick up their 10 friends cause they don't have a ride.
13. How they can be sweet and loving one minute and sassy and rude the next.

Thursday Thirteen #2
My Thursday Thirteen this week is about all the delicious treats I have given up ( or am making an honest effort to give up, hey I'm only human ;) ) in an effort to lose some weight and be healthier.
1. Ben & Jerry's, my one of many weaknesses. Oatmeal cookie chunk is sinful and New York Super Fudge Chunk is the best cure for a chocolate craving. 
2.Chips of any kind. Must force myself to buy the Baked Lays instead of Cape Cod kettle cooked chips. They just ain't the same.
3. My favorite carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. So good, yet so fattening. Maybe someday. :(
4. Burger King. Well I haven't exactly given it up but I do try and choose something with fewer WW points. Tough cause I love the BK Stacker but I survive.
5. McDonald's. See above. : /
6. Sugar in my coffee. I've used Splenda for a long time now and actually don't mind it.
7. Extra cheese on my pizza. I think the cheese is the best part so of course I order EXTRA! Not anymore, just regular old pizza for us. Blah!
8. Smooth and Melty Mints. If you haven't ever tried these morsels, DON'T! They are sooooo good! I had them at my sister's house and found them in the unwrapped candy section of my local grocery store. I can't eat just a few either so I was eating a bag full of them every week. Bad news.
9. Chocolate in any form. I can't say I've totally given it up but I'm trying. ;)
10. My alcoholic drink of choice, Coffee Brandy and milk. I now try and have something with less sugar and calories such as diet soda and rum. I wasn't drinking much though cause I was nursing but I know I can easily fall into the few drinks a week routine if I don't watch myself. ;)

Thursday Thirteen #1
I'm joining in on another meme called Thursday Thirteen! Each Thursday I will blog about some random subject that I hope my readers will find somewhat interesting. ;)
Here are 13 things about me that I know you just are dying to know.
Here are 13 things about me that I know you just are dying to know.
1. I have lived in the same town my whole life, 36 years to be exact.
2. I have wayyy too many gray hairs that I absolutely hate. I'm going to be forced to color my hair religiously I guess.
3. I have a terrible potty mouth. I am really trying to watch my language but habits are hard to break.
4. I love taking pictures, especially of my children.
5. I once had a really hot sports car that I traded in for an Explorer. I will regret that decision until the day I die.
6. I was working towards my Associate Degree in Veterinary Technology and hope to someday earn that degree.
7. I remarried and decided to start another family when my youngest child was 12. I now have 4 kids ages 17-1 and dh and I are seriously considering another in the future.
8. I've had long curly hair for many many years and the last few days I've been wearing it straight. Wow, what a difference!
9. I have pets, lots of them. A dog, 2 cats, a parrot and two huge aquariums full of fish and yes, they often drive me nutty but I love them.
10. What I really wanted to blog about was thirteen things that my husband bought himself this past month cause I'm really ticked off at him for spending money that we shouldn't be spending but I won't be a nag. ;)
11. I love Harley Davidson motorcycles and can't help but to gawk when I see one drive past. I miss the days of riding with a buddy of mine.
12. I've had several piercings but the only ones I currently have are in my ears.
13. I'm a Ben & jerry's addict though I'm very proud of myself, I have kicked the habit for now. ;)
