Rissy is really trying to make me a not-so-lame blogger


By tagging me with a Real Mom meme (see Rissy here). I'm not a real mom, I'm totally faking it! So not sure how effective I can be with this one! ROTFL..... So here goes....


Real Moms ~


Real moms rely heavily on Hamburger Helper (or insert favorite boxed meal here)
Real moms only shave their legs when they HAVE too
Real moms can change a dirty diaper in the middle of dinner and not even bat an eye
Real Moms hate mini vans
Real moms will let their kids eat candy for breakfast!!

I win the lamest blogger award.

I would love to deny it, but I can't. Life has been hectic.

I accepted a new job with Union Pacific. I really had to think long and hard about it. The drive downtown will not be a joy and I will be far away from Alex during the day. But the opportunities and benefits that UP can offer were worth it. Needless to say, my old boss was pretty ticked off. She let me go early. Which is not a punishment!!! ROTFL I am going to get this dirty, messy house cleaned up and I need NEW clothes!!! Who can argue with shopping?

On the Alex front.... we saw the immunologist yesterday. He was concerned about Alex's widening bald spot. He said it can be a sign of a secondary immune problem. So we drew 5 vials of blood yesterday to test for things like diabetes and arthritis. Then we did IV IG. All of our favorite nurses were on yesterday, so Alex was spoiled rotten! Of course he deserves it after 5 vials of blood huh?

While in Dallas, our credit card got ripped off. Thankfully Visa caught it immediately and stopped the first transaction attempt! Some weird Italian website purchase, probably porn. We couldn't even find it on Google. While it's been a hassle having the card canceled, I am grateful they do have these measures in place. It worked! We have been watching that no other accounts were opened, etc just in case. Evil Evil identity thieves!

The weather is improving, the birds are singing and the sun is shining! I am always happy when Winter ends!!!!

I'm not sure how to work this whole tagging thing

but I really nagged Christine to tag me, so now I'm tagged. Holy Cow! Now I have to think of something..... I now have to give you my 5 favorite things about feminism....

1) A Tight Sweater can get you anything you want from a male

2) You can blame anything and everything on your kids and/or hubby

3) You can buy all the shoes you want

4) We can use PMS as an excuse for ANYTHING that # 2 doesn't cover

5) We can bring home the bacon and fry up in a pan.......... or just get carryout

Christine, I hope I didn't let you down!

Tag Monica, you're it!!!

This storm is packing a wallop today!

Holy Toledo Batman! The snow and ice and windy is one nasty combo today. I'm glad we still have power!

Everyone in the house is well.... knock on wood. This past week was miserable. I am so grateful I haven't picked anything up. Just watch for my trip next week........

Hope you are all safe and warm. This better be the last snow until December!!!
