Well. What I do is post my grievances on Friday so that I can enjoy the weekend, hopefully guilt free. Yah? Yah. OK - so join in if you want. Grab a button. I'll even try to get that linky working again. [not the most technically sophisticated kid here.]<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae54/mommakiss/2010badgefridayflipoff2.png" /></center><center><textarea wrap="hard"><br /><center><a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com"><img src="http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae54/mommakiss/2010badgefridayflipoff2.png" /></a></center><br /></textarea><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><br /></span></span></center><br /><br /><br />So my only flip off today?<br /><br />TO MYSELF! My kid lost his 5th tooth yesterday. He's now lost 3 on top, 2 on the bottom. And he knows the tooth fairy routine. [Check <a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com/2011/04/first-toof.html">this pic</a> of the day he lost his first toof - he's fucking cute.]<br /><br />Anyway. We use a super special dish for the teeth. It's from Mr. Kiss' gramma, it's the perfect size and we put it on the dresser. Who the hell fishes for teeth under a pillow? Jeesh. So he went to bed, excited about getting money. And then so did I.<br /><br />I heard him wake up, heard the glass dish open, heard it close and smacked my forehead. <br /><br />I. Forgot. To Put. The Money in.<br /><br />Mind you, Mr. Kiss could have done it himself. But he didn't. So we both forgot. But WTF, there's another Flip Off. WHY is it that I take all the guilt? Whatever.<br /><br /><br />The thing is, this kid is such a schmoopy happy boy. He's generally well behaved. And he is SO into this crap. The tooth fairy, Santa, The Elf on the Shelf, Easter Bunny. Cripes, I could create a fictional person like a Master Pooper Scooper or something and he would probably believe in it.<br /><br />And that is magical to me.<br /><br />And I fucked up.<br /><br />My solution to this fuck up is to recruit a friend [Thank You <a href="http://www.funnyorsnot.com/">Poppy</a>] to call my phone today and leave a message pretending to be the tooth fairy, saying she was sorry and too busy or something. I'll play that message for Big Kiss later on when I pick him up. Hopefully he buys it - and bet your ass he's getting double tonight. <br /><br />There. I do feel a little better. A little. Tell me it's ok, even if you have to lie to me.<br /><br /><br />If this works, feel free to link up! I promise to visit - love me some Flips!<br /><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.simply-linked.com/listwidget.aspx?l=ca54f78c-3923-4a41-94fa-043ffbd35f4f"></script><div class="blogger-post-footer">click on over and say hi, dammit!</div>MommaKisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09443553798728370645noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101424515051766237.post-87176135306050811792011-07-15T10:56:00.000-04:002011-07-15T10:56:00.225-04:00Juicy - Smoooth Skin!Today's Juice in the City Deal is for over half off <a href="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/markets/houston-greater-katy-sugar-land/deals/53-off-microdermabrasion-at-a-tropical-haven?referrer=afsd3sem5g%20">Microdermabrasion</a>.<br /><br />(say that 3x fast!)<br /><br /><br />Although this gorgeous girl probably doesn't need it, I would LOVE to have this service.

It's timeThat's Right, Kids.<br /><br />Friday Flip Offs are <span style="font-weight:bold;">back</span>.<br /><br />I think my last one was in April, the day that my husband was laid off. Because of the fucking French. Anyway - lots has been going on and I think it's time to share the angst! Let out all of your frustration and Flip Shit Off on Friday so that you can enjoy your weekend.<br /><br />Let's Do It!<br /><br />(I even have a button!)<br /><center><img src="http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae54/mommakiss/2010badgefridayflipoff2.png" /></center><center><textarea wrap="hard"><br /><center><a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com"><img src="http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae54/mommakiss/2010badgefridayflipoff2.png" /></a></center><br /></textarea><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><br /></span></span></center><br /><br />First, I'd like to give a huge middle finger salute to my sister. Who once again has proven what a cuntbagtwatwaffle she truly is. I recently spent 10 days with her daughter, and though I wasn't fishing for dirt, at all, I learned that her mother (CBTWSister) is trying to manipulate this kid for money. Out of the utmost respect for my niece, who is one of the most genuine, smart, kind, gorgeous people I know, I won't go further. Other than to say that karma's a bitch, CBTWSister. You'll get yours one day. It's sad, truly sad, but you will.<br /><br />Second Flip Off? Adult Acne. I admit I'm an old bitch. I'm 36 . And it's not raging cystic acne, no, but still. I get those underground pimples. Typically right in the corner of my nose or near my hair line [fucking summer heat].<br /><br />Exhibit A:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQPGJrx69F2OYVJW3EcnTxv6fK2bs8vc7TQfrHRiW07yCv_zml0d5qWcNuMFqWNLgLUmmp-cMhbdqWi_gQS2NylDrHQ9DfStVMw2ivS-6yV_zjOM961wvDPl-BuEeDyMlYW8XI8DpWXw/s1600/IMG02917-20110706-2106+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQPGJrx69F2OYVJW3EcnTxv6fK2bs8vc7TQfrHRiW07yCv_zml0d5qWcNuMFqWNLgLUmmp-cMhbdqWi_gQS2NylDrHQ9DfStVMw2ivS-6yV_zjOM961wvDPl-BuEeDyMlYW8XI8DpWXw/s320/IMG02917-20110706-2106+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626641703181485954" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Yah. Right there. The size of Russia. Can you see it from your house? <span style="font-style: italic;">[don't mind my hair, I had just gone for a walk and was all schweaty]. </span><br /><br />While we're at it? I'd also like to say Fuck You to aging skin. Dayum, I finally got serious about sunscreen last year - but can't get rid of those sun spots on my cheeks. Fuckers.<br /><br />Exhibit B:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUHPW5mIgda7zwQKeDqf2GwRnYdmrlYPUGeyFSesv15ODuOTaG5FqY26zwd4195JMRQFLQtIec6qAXP7ihdmtogOt6RBikhBSBmjH2xSoT0_w17bfwMf-uTLAuxUsyC-PNquYtiAyRiQ/s1600/IMG02917-20110706-2106+copy2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUHPW5mIgda7zwQKeDqf2GwRnYdmrlYPUGeyFSesv15ODuOTaG5FqY26zwd4195JMRQFLQtIec6qAXP7ihdmtogOt6RBikhBSBmjH2xSoT0_w17bfwMf-uTLAuxUsyC-PNquYtiAyRiQ/s320/IMG02917-20110706-2106+copy2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626645389283579570" border="0" /></a><br /><br />To my fucked up pinky toes. I double finger flip you off. I am walking and walking to prep for the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk. <span style="font-style: italic;">[</span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="https://secure3.convio.net/npt/site/Donation2?df_id=3040&FR_ID=1590&PROXY_ID=5902218&PROXY_TYPE=20&outreachid=5MrR7bUcohJIK4SshrKeFhSEaRF2mezp">DONATE HERE</a><span style="font-style: italic;">!!! you knew I'd get that in there, right?]</span> My legs are ready. Even my chub rub, thanks to Body Glide, which I intend to own stock in, the shit's so awesome. Anyway, my pinky toes, they just curl right under their neighbor toes and get crushed. So I use moleskin, blister bandaids and even <a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com/2011/06/wtf-wordless-wedensday-6-22.html">dry fit toe socks</a>. Yes, click that, it's a picture of said socks and it's fun. I will NOT let sore feet stop me from walking 60 miles in 3 days. I won't. If they need to be cut off, so be it, I'll finish this walk because, together with my teammate <a href="http://www.funnyorsnot.com/">Poppy</a>, we've raised over $6,500. InFuckingCredible, right??? We are. And my toes better not fucking let me down.<br /><br />Finally, Flip off to money worries.<br /><br />Truly. This one is focused on my momma, though - she recently moved from MT to WI - which was good for her - but hasn't found a job yet and social security isn't covering her monthly expenses. Can I be honest, Kids? She is the very reason I said yes to help promote Juice In the City. Not only are they a kick ass company of moms helping moms, but any money I'm making on sponsored posts? All for my <a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com/2011/05/mommas-momma.html">Momma</a>. It's the least I can do. So while I'm saying Fuck Off to money worries, I'm saying THANK YOU for putting up with me pimpin' deals for Juice.<br /><br /><br />this linky code should work - let's pray, eh?<br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.simply-linked.com/listwidget.aspx?l=274c7a68-f1d4-4d05-8dcc-4237bd262151"></script><div class="blogger-post-footer">click on over and say hi, dammit!</div>MommaKisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09443553798728370645noreply@blogger.com35tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101424515051766237.post-45307948253410735672011-07-08T05:03:00.000-04:002011-07-08T05:03:00.279-04:00JITC - Oink Cluck!HA!!

I'm nice like that.<br /><br />We have a birthday party to go to on Saturday. It's actually one of the kids who came to Big Kiss' 6th birthday party - he fell in love with the place (mini golf, how awesome, right??)<br /><br />Big Kiss is stoked and it's one of his buddies that goes to a different school - we don't see them much.<br /><br />Today I was out for lunch and remembered I had to get a gift. Sadly, it didn't fit in our schedule to have my kid shop with me for his friend. He'll have to get over that. <br /><br />I'm wandering the aisles of Toys R Us, picked something simple and then went to get a gift bag. Found the wall of bags, and every single one? Over $4. Four Bucks? For a throwaway bag?? And those were the plain ones, the ones with cartoons and shit all over them were at least $6. <br /><br />I'm not cheap - but just couldn't see spending that kind of money on a bag the kid will rip up and toss within 2.2 seconds.<br /><br />And then. I turned around and saw them. Reusable bags! Cute ones! AND?? Only $1.29!<br /><br />Tossed the gift inside - Big Kiss will make a card - Buddy will get a bag to carry his swim crap around. Or his toys. Or whatever, I don't care.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjHnozJbIsjXdPKv604Wr6tGZ3bRF0xwKyaMg7cpu_vQ91xH0Desyo7fthTJ8u80KQOEtd-g3Ot6BjPynUrKYiEM3v0yQHL3KIZwcW5DlvgG87K3KPnyG-liCW4eHlJ3GDxD-U-Ku8Ag/s1600/2011-07-01+bag.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjHnozJbIsjXdPKv604Wr6tGZ3bRF0xwKyaMg7cpu_vQ91xH0Desyo7fthTJ8u80KQOEtd-g3Ot6BjPynUrKYiEM3v0yQHL3KIZwcW5DlvgG87K3KPnyG-liCW4eHlJ3GDxD-U-Ku8Ag/s320/2011-07-01+bag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624432708648307010" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Cute right?<br /><br />I'm a genius.

It's Father's Day. And I am glad that my children have a kick ass father. And Mr. Kiss has a kick ass father. And we celebrated them. But I don't really remember my father. My 3 older brothers were more "father figures" than anything. I miss my brothers. And so I'm sharing this from 2 years ago - the new words just wouldn't come today...<br /><br />###<br /><br />42 years ago, my brother K was born. He was the 3rd of my mother's eventual 6 children. <br /><br />On his 9th birthday, while he tried to enjoy a day at the lake, he instead got the gift of a little brother. Yep, my bro P, the 6th kid, ruined K's birthday. Or made it the best b-day ever, I'm not sure, I was little. <br /><br />I'm the 5th of 6 kids. P and I were thick as thieves when we were little. Our 4 older siblings were each two years apart, wait six years, I'm pretty sure I was 'whoops' then Momma had P to keep me company. We were the 'little' kids. The babies. Our siblings took care of us, teased us, threw us around, taught us, parented us.<br /><br />When I was a senior in high school, Momma had an amazing opportunity for a new job. It was midway through the school year - my senior year - and there was NO way I wanted to move. So, in a decision I know must have been so hard for her - she let me and P stay - alone - in our house and moved 3 hours away because this job just wouldn't wait. <br /><br />I worked part time, drove P around to his sports and such. I had my first experience with being a 'mom' even tho I'm not sure I was very happy about it. But it was the best choice for us. It was a family decision. And P and I made it through.<br /><br />The next year he was Junior in HS and moved to live w/ Mom, while I moved to Montana to live w/ my sister. I worked 3 jobs, enjoyed being free, and 'sewed some oats' before deciding I didn't want to work like that for the rest of my life so I moved back close to home and started college. <br /><br />One Monday morning, a cold cold January morning, P went for a ride with his girlfriend. Turns out, it was the last ride of his life. He was 17. He was a senior in high school. He was too young.<br /><br />I was in college, on winter break, actually, staying w/ a friend. Mom had to track me down. Actually the sheriff tracked me down because my mother was understandably not well.<br /><br />The past 16 years have been - well - they've <span style="font-style:italic;">been</span>.<br /><br />Sadly, life moves on. I got married, without my little brother present. My husband didn't get to meet P - my best friend on earth. I had kids, without my little brother present. My kids don't know their Uncle P - in person. My first son is named for my brother, yet he'll never know, really know, what kind of guy he was. He'll hear more and more stories, but because of some icy roads and a mini-van driver not paying attention, he only has pictures of his Uncle.<br /><br />Thankfully, I'm not sad today. Today I remember my brother and remember his birthdays growing up. I also think of my older brother, and wonder if his birthdays have ever been the same. He had to share from the time he was 9. And since 1994, is he reminded that his kid brother should be celebrating w/ him? I don't know.<br /><br />I called my mom today. I plan to call K later. And I will sing Happy Birthday to my brothers, both of them.<br /><br />Love you P! Hope God gives you lots of free time today!<br /><br />###<br /><br />Today P would be 35. K is 44. Happy Birthday Brothers. One on earth and one with God. I love you both.<div class="blogger-post-footer">click on over and say hi, dammit!</div>MommaKisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09443553798728370645noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101424515051766237.post-31917204766635642022011-06-19T18:00:00.001-04:002011-06-20T09:47:17.502-04:00Juice Deal - $40 for a massage!For the Northern Cali readers, what a killer deal!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/images/jitc-logo.png?1307298768"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 127px; height: 127px;" src="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/images/jitc-logo.png?1307298768" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The Juice in the City Deal of the Day for Monday 6/20 is <a href="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/markets/east-bay/deals/40-for-a-1-hour-swedish-massage?referrer=afsd3sem5g%20">50% off a 1 hour Swedish</a> massage at The Massage Garage.<br /><br />If I could afford it, I'd get a massage every single week. <br /><br />Details: You pay $40 for an $80 value 1-hour Swedish Massage.

Not that. The hot wax that rips the hair off of your body. <br /><br />That waxing. <br /><br />I should preface this by saying I’m blond. And not particularly, um, hairy. Ok? Got that? <br /><br />But I do like to trim the bushes, ya know? I do not like rockin’ the pizza slice. And I used to do it by myself. Then one day a new family moved into the neighborhood and the ‘established’ ‘hood mommas invited this new momma over for drinks. New Momma is Irish. Doesn’t everyone just want to sit and listen to that Irish brogue for hours? Well I could. Long story short, on the very evening that we met, I had to share the story of how I had an “incident” shaving down below. <br /><br />She asked me to expand. Fine – I sliced right up my labia. I did. And it bled like a motherfucker. And then I had to wash off the shaving cream. And I screamed like a banshee. Twice. <br /><br />As she watched me with that “I’m fucking horrified face,” I thought I was a goner. She’s probably thinking Who are these people and why am I in her basement? But no – she then told us that she’s an esthetician. Has been schooled by Elizabeth Grady. Since having her twins, she doesn’t work there anymore, but does offer services out of her home. And she said she’d help me so that I’d never be slicing and dicing my lady bits, ever again. <br /><br />Now that’s the definition of a new friend. Sign me up. <br /><br />Of course, after signing up, you have to wait a while. I had to let it grow. Out. A lot. I had the pizza slice. I hated it. Every time I’d see Irish, I’d say “Will you come check, is it long enough yet?” Yah, she was SO happy she befriended me. She’s wicked cool, though. Didn’t mind checking. Heh. <br /><br />Finally the day arrived where I was to experience my first ever waxing. We planned to have dinner, too – you know, foreplay before she lured me to the basement to commence the hair ripping. <br /><br />I was quite impressed with the set up. She has that big chair that you lie down on (the kind like when you get a facial), wax heating, gloves. All professional and stuff. I’m not typically shy by any means, and wasn’t on this night either, but I was a bit afraid of the actual ripping part. The pain of it.<br /><br />Which is why I had 3 glasses of wine and a Percocet. <br /><br />Didn’t feel a thing. <br /><br />She chatted the whole time which also helped the situation. I’m telling ya, that brogue. She could have asked me to watch her kids for 3 weeks and I’d probably have said yes. Instead she just kept asking questions while applying melted wax to my hoo hah. I’d answer and then she’d peel that wax right off all quick like. Then, poof. Gone. Easy peasy. <br /><br />Anywax, I see her quite often – for non ‘appointment’ type fun stuff. Our kids hang out. We do lunch. We’re very good friends. And when I need a touch up, I just pop in and we get it done. <br /><br />Well.<br /><br />This last time, the only way we could mesh our schedules was to have a playdate. Ok, whatever, no problem. 4 children 6 and under? They can keep themselves busy for 15 minutes right? <br /><br />We go to the basement – and her set up has changed a bit – they’re redoing the room, so the chair is in the unfinished part. You know, like bare walls, stuff hanging around. Dangling lights. Well I’m all unclothed from the waist down, she’s going at it, ripping and I’m all doing the “sssssss” thing thru my teeth and grabbing the side of the chair. We’re almost done, when she noticed a small ingrown hair, and because she’s a professional and all, she couldn’t leave it be. So she was extracting that. It hurt like a sonofabitch, but I know out is better, so I screetched “just get it out!” <br /><br />my view: <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMqp5zbUe_LQmtXUKoNmNzr1Fur47alrAji7zFz90Pe5Vn0hHceSwER4H6AXVVzY4SdGVHpjyUo8hWi1Xg3TUjysAV8xwzDi6bII4jUB4hz4IlqWDwImKssTHzfUKFORndgwyPuOc72g/s1600/IMG02725-20110613-1813.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMqp5zbUe_LQmtXUKoNmNzr1Fur47alrAji7zFz90Pe5Vn0hHceSwER4H6AXVVzY4SdGVHpjyUo8hWi1Xg3TUjysAV8xwzDi6bII4jUB4hz4IlqWDwImKssTHzfUKFORndgwyPuOc72g/s320/IMG02725-20110613-1813.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618918929154954450" /></a> [yes, that's my knee] <br /><br />And then.<br /><br />My 3 year old walked in. <br /><br />Just as I’m all tense and laying naked on a chair and Irish is bent over me with gloves on and the room is bare and the dangly lights. He stared at me for a minute, saw some blood, stared at me again and then started screaming. A crying scream. “What is she doing to your <a href="http://thingsicantsay-shell.blogspot.com/2010/09/bff-list-of-s-they-should-have-warned.html">Not Penis?</a>**!” “I’m SKERD!” GAWD! I had to tell him that I was ok, that I had a boo boo that Irish was helping me with, that I was not hurt. <br /><br />Oh lord, do I have enough savings for this child’s therapy? I doubt it. Seriously doubt it. <br /><br />Especially because he still asks to see my boo boo on my ‘not penis.’ <br /><br /><br /><br />**click that link, it's damn funny<div class="blogger-post-footer">click on over and say hi, dammit!</div>MommaKisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09443553798728370645noreply@blogger.com46tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101424515051766237.post-27037198263953507452011-06-16T15:48:00.004-04:002011-06-16T16:03:52.229-04:00NY pizza in CA!I know some of you are in this area of Cali-Forn-I-A - *cough* <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/wowiee">Wowiee </a>& <a href="http://adiaryofamadwoman.com/about">Mad Woman</a> *cough*<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/images/jitc-logo.png?1307298768"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 127px; height: 127px;" src="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/images/jitc-logo.png?1307298768" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The Juice in the City Deal of the Day in San Jose, CA is for <a href="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/markets/peninsula-south-bay/deals/10-for-20-worth-of-delicious-pizza-at-bibos-new-york-pizza?referrer=afsd3sem5g%20">Bibo's New York Pizza</a>. <br /><br />I love me some pizza.

I forget how the hell she came up with this idea - but she's got a bunch of people sharing pictures of their Baby Bumps. <br /><br />No, I'm not currently pregnant, nor will I ever be again - but when I WAS with child, I took lots of pictures. I said before, thank the sweet baby jesus I didn't blog back then, or you'd have been grossed out by the amount of pictures I had. I mean, really, you know I would have shared. <br /><br />Over sharer. That's me. <br /><br />This is the post I shared a couple of years ago: <a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com/2009/06/rub-budda.html">Rub the Buddah.</a><br /><br />I totally loved my big fat pregnant belly. I'm way short, too - so my kids had nowhere to go but out. And I mean OUT. <br /><br />Just a sample, there's a few more on the actual post. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b5db29b3127ccecb444cea7ad200000010O08AasWbFi2ZNAe3nw8/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 400px;" src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b5db29b3127ccecb444cea7ad200000010O08AasWbFi2ZNAe3nw8/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />With the second kid, I made a t-shirt that said "Oh Boy."

Maybe more...Raise your hand if you're excited that it's Monday. <br /><br />All 3 of you with your hands up, go away. You're not my kind of people. I need more weekends in my life. Like life full of weekends. Seriously. <br /><br />Anyway.<br /><br />I've been thinking a lot about money. How we're <a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com/2011/05/urine-for-surprise.html">cutting some costs</a> because Mr. Kiss is still unemployed. Don't get me wrong, we're thankful to have been a dual income family prior to his lay off...many don't have that second salary to help them out. But the thing is, we don't spend a ton to begin with. I'm pretty frugal, get lots of clothes at Target or second hand shops. But our little treats like nice dinners and baby sitters are going to have to be put on hold for a while. <br /><br />Also, My Momma needs help financially and I told her I could do it. I have to do it. I owe her for all of <a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com/2011/05/mommas-momma.html">the sacrifices</a> she made to raise us. But helping her is going to be a bit tricky now. Mr. Kiss doesn't really understand this reverse support, he's never had to be in the situation to "want" for things. Ever. So I have to figure that out. <br /><br />I have a point. Promise.<br /><br />I've been reading a lot about this awesome company - <a href="http://www.juiceinthecity.com/markets/boston/deals">Juice in the City</a>. It's a unique daily deals site, think Groupon or the like - but it's totally local. For the small businesses in the city. <a href="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/">Juice in the City</a> was founded by two moms on Mother's Day in 2010. Each city has teams made up of moms who source deals based on their personal experience...not just companies who hire teams that have never set foot in the businesses they represent. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/images/circle-logo.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 93px; height: 92px;" src="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/images/circle-logo.png" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I love this: "We believe in supporting the local economy while at the same time, empowering moms!" <br /><br />Juice [for short, heh] has been featured in <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/2011-06-03-juice-in-the-city_n.htm">USA Today</a>, talk about a genius idea. They have teams in many cities already and are looking to expand. That's right, Juice in the City is coming to Boston. <br /><br />I know some of you readers live in Boston(-ish) like me...Juice is looking for Local Business Consultants in the Brookline/Newton/North End and Beacon Hill area. If you're interested in becoming consultant, Juice in the City asks that you are familiar with the local community, the local hot spots and the places to go. I think that the key point is that spending money in the community means the money STAYS in the community. <br /><br />Ok - my point. Thinking about money. I really wish there was something like this when my Momma was struggling to raise her 6 kids while going to college. She's always been a true promoter of local shops, even owned her own bakery. Since this wasn't around then (shame) here's hoping that this great company may be able to help some of you! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/images/jitc-logo.png?1307298768"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 127px; height: 127px;" src="https://www.juiceinthecity.com/images/jitc-logo.png?1307298768" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Want to work from home? If you're interested in becoming a local business consultant, check this out - <a href="http://www.juiceinthecity.com/make_money?utm_source=mommakiss&utm_content=BOS00&utm_campaign=recruit&utm_medium=blog_post"> Make Money!</a><br /><br />Yes, it says "Make Money!" <br /><br />On that note, I'm going to be promoting the deals with Juice in the City - so I need to tell you I'm getting paid. Moms helping Moms. That's pretty awesome. <br /><br />You can follow Juice in the City on twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/jitcboston">@jitcboston</a> and their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Juice-in-the-City-Boston/219419141420775">facebook page</a>.

That’s right, no angst or flip offs.<br /><br />Half day of work for me today. “Work.” Then I get to go wrangle 159 balloons into my car, pick up a cake, put together tablecloths and napkins and other goodies for my kid’s birthday party. The weather is FAB for this event, this – his first ever “real” party with friends. Not too hot, not too cold, no rain. Mini-golf tourney is gonna rock. And then pizza, cake and homemade sundaes after? Dood, Big Kiss knows how to party.<br /><br />I’ll be refraining from cake, though. Yep. So here’s the deal. I’m on a medically monitored diet. I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired every 3 weeks or so. I’m not sleeping well (unless I drug myself), stressed out, have the belly fat that comes with not sleeping and stress. I needed help and finally got some. It’s not some “buy our food” or “drink this shake” program, or even counting calories…it’s a simple You must eat breakfast, x amount of protein at every meal and tons of veggies. The first couple of weeks, I’ve avoided whites (sugar, rice, potatoes, etc.) & fried foods. I’ve been really good and it’s actually giving me life style changes. Not just a quick fix.<br /><br />They also recommend this powder in a jug of water once a day: Macro Greens. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.vitacost.com/Images/Products/200/Macro-Life-Naturals/Macro-Life-Naturals-Macro-Greens-054139908010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 151px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.vitacost.com/Images/Products/200/Macro-Life-Naturals/Macro-Life-Naturals-Macro-Greens-054139908010.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It’s the equivalent of like 5 servings of raw veggies or something. I swear to god it’s even tasty. But holy shit.<br /><br />No, I mean it. I’ve had to have a conversation with my colon begging it not to blow before I get to the bathroom.<br /><br />They also provide a B-12 shot, I honestly have no fucking clue what it does, but I yanked up my pants and they shot me in the ass. I felt like an athlete getting steroids. Isn’t that what they thought they were getting? B-12? But it was really human growth hormone? Whatever, doc says get the shot, I took the shot.<br /><br />I am sleeping better and have lost a few pounds off the gubba, so I’m happy I’m sticking to it. <br /><br />Which brings me to my next dilemma. Vacation. Hell Yes, I’m taking a chic vaca, leaving tomorrow. <a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com/2010/09/shes-sick.html">My </a><a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-have-hope.html">girl</a> <a href="http://mommakiss.blogspot.com/2011/02/as-timeline.html">A </a>and I are going to <a href="http://www.westinsavannah.com/">Savannah</a>. We went there like 9 years ago and totally loved it. That trip, we drank from sun up to sun down. Visited the gay bars. Went to a drag show. Full on entertainment. This trip, we plan to lounge by the pool. A lot. We may surface around town to say we “did something” but after the winter we both had – lounging is much needed. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.westinsavannah.com/assets/gallery/wes1169po.59297_lg.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 369px;" src="http://www.westinsavannah.com/assets/gallery/wes1169po.59297_lg.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We're also going to <a href="https://secure3.convio.net/npt/site/Donation2?df_id=3040&FR_ID=1590&PROXY_ID=5902218&PROXY_TYPE=20&outreachid=5MrR7bUcohJIK4SshrKeFhSEaRF2mezp">walk</a>, which we're actually excited about (?!) My blisters are healed, I need to do a few miles a day when I'm gone.<br /><br />ANYFUCK, the thing is? I’m gonna have to try to stick to my diet while there. I don’t want to be a total downer, so I guess I’ll try to make good choices with 2 meals a day and let myself enjoy the 3rd. Probably lunch since that’s my biggest meal on a typical day. <br /><br />Whatever. If I don’t lose, I’ll be OK with it. I’m going to try to be good but if not, I'll survive & reset when I get home.<br /><br />Peace out, kids. Don’t be all brilliant when I’m gone. I’m just going to hit “clear all” when I get back anyway ;)<div class="blogger-post-footer">click on over and say hi, dammit!</div>MommaKisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09443553798728370645noreply@blogger.com37tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101424515051766237.post-27302694726717230662011-05-31T09:23:00.003-04:002011-05-31T09:31:44.857-04:00I totally thought today was MondayWait. What?<br /><br />I have access to blogger.<br /><br />AT work.<br /><br />And it's working? We'll see if this post goes through.<br /><br />So happy belated Memorial Day! Do you say that? For Memorial Day? Is it really happy? Probably not, but I do truly thank all of the veterans out there for their service. <br /><br />We were non-stop this weekend, and it was gorgeous out. 'Bout time, we needed some fucking sun.<br /><br />Saturday I did my longest walk ever. EVER. And my feet paid the price. I used moleskin on the places I usually blister. Well now I know I blister between my toes. Yep. My toes are shredded. Thank God for our pool because I soaked my sore body as soon as I got home.<br /><br />We had other crap going on every day, but ended with family time in the pool. The boys are like fish and I love it. We all have nice little tan lines and are ready for whatever amount of summer New England allows (read: short & fucking hot). <br /><br />Anyone know anything about Allentown, PA? Me either. But Mr. Kiss is there right now interviewing for a job. It's the perfect position, duties and responsibilities. But it's in Allentown, PA.<br /><br />Jaysus.<br /><span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span class=" down" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);"><img src="img/blank.gif" alt="Link" class="gl_link" border="0" /></span></span><br />So I have 8-ish weeks to go til the 3 Day walk. I'm pretty sure it's going to kill me. Hopefully <a href="http://www.funnyorsnot.com/">Poppy</a> will give a nice eulogy at my funeral. <br /><br />And finally, tomorrow? June 1? My Big Kiss turns 6. SIX. I'm still amazed someone let me be a mother, much less for 6 years now. That little schmoopy kid is the sweetest and I never want him to turn into an angsty teenager. Please say he won't? Or lie to me?<br /><br />I'ma hit publish, let's see if it works. And if so, can anyone comment? Stupid blogger.<div class="blogger-post-footer">click on over and say hi, dammit!</div>MommaKisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09443553798728370645noreply@blogger.com37
