If you really knew me



if you really knew me
           You would know that I am Super messy although I try not to be. I have a clean, organized view of how I want things to be but can never, ever seem to get things in any kind of order. 
            You would also know that my brain also feels SUPER cluttered. My thoughts are often jumbled up and I am sure that is why I am SUPER messy.

if you really knew me 
        You would know that my idea of a perfect off day is laying up on the couch watching TV and doing nothing else. Tuning out the world is a great way to let your brain have an off day!
         You would also know that I fell SUPER guilty when I do this. I feel like I need to be up cleaning the house or playing with the kids. I don't know why I beat myself up with the guilt but I do.

if you really knew me 
        You would know that i have know idea what to do with my life. I have no idea. I am 34 years old and I try to picture what I should be doing. I DO NOT KNOW!. I work job to job but that is exactly what they are...JUST A JOB. I want to find something that I WANT TO DO. Something I will love. I just don't know what that is. I have spent numerous hours trying to figure this out.

if you really knew me
            I think laundry is the worst chore in the whole world. Housework sucks all around but the laundry is the absolute worst of them all.


IF YOU REALLY KNOW ME THEN YOU KNOW THAT
MY CHILDREN AND MY HUBBY ARE MY WORLD. I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THEM. I WOULD SACRIFICE ANYTHING FOR THEM AND WOULD DIE FOR THEM.
ONE OF THOSE
YOU MESS WITH THEM YOU MESS WITH ME KIND OF THINGS!!!

stay tuned for more 
        if you really knew me








Then you would know that I love my children more than anything else in the world. I would die for them or make any sacrifice necessary.

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY IBOTTA

Have you noticed that all of your favorite bloggers start posting about the same deals at the same time. All of a sudden your whole news feed is filled with the same EXACT posts. Sometimes you check them out or sometimes you ignore it!

That is what I did with IBOTTA. One day out of nowhere EVERYONE was advertising a post for IBOTTA. It kind of gets on my nerves when it gets out of control like that! 

Finally about 3 weeks after the craziness I decided to click on one of them and see if I really was missing out on something. 
TURNS OUT I WAS!

This is how it works. You click on the picture and the product to your list. You take a simple short quiz or look at a fact about that product. This takes about 5 seconds. Literally. Then you go to the grocery buy the products. When you come home you snap a picture of your receipt and product.   VOILA the money is added to your IBOTTA account withing minutes.

The IBOTTA app makes it super simple to do all of this. I uploaded and had my money in under 3 minutes. I was glad I gave in and tried it out.

So what I am saying is that you should just try it! You might be pleasantly surprised as I was!

6 Stupid Words



Do you ever wonder where words come from? Who makes up new words for new things? While saying a word out loud this week I thought this has to be the most Stupid word ever! That made #1 on my list! Read on to see if you agree with my Stupid words! Please add any Stupid words that stick out for you  in the comments!

I challenge all of you to say these aloud. You can't fully understand why they are on the list until you say them aloud! Now if someone is in the room with you please note they make think you are a little bit crazy!!


6.  Butt. Try it in a sentence! My butt is cute! She has no butt!  There are several other words that come in handy and are much better than butt. Booty, bottom, trunk are a few! I personally use booty!

5. Boobs & Titties! This one goes hand in hand with Butt for me! BOOBS! Titties!! Who in the world decided calling our breasts BOOBS!? AND it stuck! BOOBS! BOOBIES! Again, there are several alternatives! The boring ol Breasts. Tits, bosom, knockers, hooters, canons, rack, melons...THIS LIST COULD GO ON FOREVER! (maybe that is a whole other post!)



4.  POOP! Again, how did poop come to be the name of our bowel movements. Poop! Say it. Also take a Sh*t falls in with the who came up with it?  Poopy Poopy poopy...NEED I SAY MORE!!!?


3.  Booger. Yucky old booger. What else would we call a booger? I have no idea but it is still a silly word 
and sounds silly when you say it aloud!

2.  Fart! Did you fart? Who farted. Fart! 

1.  Stupid! This is the word that got me writing this post. Say it out loud! "STUPID"! How stupid is stupid? It is a funny sounding word!!! Also try stupidity! Sounds just as STUPID!!

What word do you think should be on this list??? I;d love to here your STUPID words!!!




Have a great day!

TO LEGALIZE OR NOT TO LEGALIZE

This is just a quick opinion post....and of course I want to hear your opinions as well.
I live in Kentucky. Recently 2 states have legalized marijuana.

Top 10 reasons I think they it is OK to legalize Marijuana, Pot, and Weed 

                In no particular order..

10.  It is safer than alcohol. If you have ever had too much to drink then you know that you can quickly lose memories and stature. " I did what last night!?" has been said too many times. This is not a known side effect of pot unless mixed with other substances.

9.  Legalized marijuana will help control the money flow and can be used to help our states and country as opposed to criminal gangs and associations.  It will also control the gazillions of our dollars used to fight the drug war. Marijuana is not toxic and should not be in this drug war.

8.  Medical reasons. It helps patients with cancers and other illnesses to overcome their pain, suffering and weight issues.

7. It is a great alternative for anxiety

6.  THC is less toxic than nicotine AND alcohol.

5. There are no known cases of anyone overdosing on Marijuana. I am 34 and with the prescription and heroin overload today, I  have known of a lot of people who have overdosed over the past 5 or 6 years. It is very sad but true. 

4. Marijuana makes you feel better. Whether you have had a hard day at work or have been ill, it can relax you and kill the stress. You should have the option to go have a drink or go have a joint.

3.  Weed is like tattoos. Remember when only the weirdo's had tattoos. It wasn't always acceptable and there was something wrong with you if you got ink. Well the same for pot..Pot is associated with hippies and burnouts and that's just not the case any longer. We all get tattoos. It is a great way to express ourselves and they are beautiful. Now the boy who worked hard all day long writing a song needs to relax his brain and chooses to do so by having a hit of weed. It is OK! Same thing as having a drink!

2. Violence. I truly believe there will be less violence. No one will die if they are late on a shipment of someones pounds of weed. No one will die if the sell it in the "wrong" territory. These things will not exist if we can go to our local store and purchase what we need.

1. It is fun. (or so I hear)


AND JUST FOR FUN..........


NOW I KNOW THIS MAY OR MAY NOT CAUSE A RUCKUS....PEOPLE HAVE SPLIT POSITIONS ON THIS MATTER. AS OF 2012 THE U.S. PEOPLE ARE EQUALLY SPLIT ON WHETHER OR NOT MARIJUANA SHOULD BE LEGALIZED.
I AM NOT A POT SMOKER. THESE ARE ALL MY OWN OPINIONS AND DO NOT REFLECT THOSE OF ANY OTHERS.


SO WHAT DO YOU THINK. LEGAL OR ILLEGAL???

Dreams

I have very vivid dreams. I wake up and can normally remember my whole dream. I think it's amazing how your subconscious can store things for later and then treat you or haunt you with crazy visions!

I can remember being 11 years old and having a dream about my dad and my best friend dying. (They are both still alive) I was at their funeral and sobbing loudly. I woke up and I was really crying. This is probably when my infatuation with dreams began. How can I cry in my dream and really being crying!??

I have also had the same dream a gazillion times. Each time I am in a jungle/safari like setting and I am trying to climb rope steps up a gigantic hill. I am scared and freaking out the whole time. I have no idea why I have this dream. I am scared of heights in real life but I don't think these two things are related.  This dream is also very colorful. All the colors are extra bold and detailed. Weird right!?

I came across this article that I wanted to share.

It is the 10 MOST AMAZING FACTS ABOUT DREAMS!  If you are a dream lover like me you will appreciate it. My 2 favorite facts are #8 and # 3.
#3 talks about our soul leaving our body and #8 is about how our real life is incorporated into our dreams! You will see why these 2 are my favorite.

Which ones can you relate to? Click the link below to read all 10! Let me know what you think!
