The Dreaded White Van

So last night, I went out at 9pm with my sister in law to go walking. We were just minding our own business when all of a sudden the dreaded white van that Steve is always talking about slowly drove past us.

At first I thought nothing of it, but then when we were on a completely different street, it drove past again. At this point, I didn't know what to do. There were so many options. Do I toss my wallet away from me or do I run zigzag in case he has a gun? I was totally ready to use my elbow if I needed to and if they would have captured us, I was ready to break out the taillights and stick my arms out and wave them like crazy hoping everyone would see.

Luckily, we made it safely home without any harm. It's probably because we had our pepper spray and my unicorn dog with us. Or maybe it was just Steve in a rental van out to scare all of the women in the neighborhood. I don't really know, you will have to draw your own conclusion.

All I know is that it was a very close call and I was so thankful that we made it home safely.

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK- NEW AGAIN?

So I recently learned that the New Kids on the Block are getting back together. What? I mean, does it really work when the boys from a boy band are now 40+ years old? I think that would mean that they are a man band? Right? Who wants to see that? Don't get me wrong, they were great in their time, but now? Guess we will wait and see huh? So if any of you closet NKOTB fans want to register and get on exclusive email lists among other things, I will include the link below.

I wonder what will happen when History repeats itself this time? Here is the link to check it out for yourself. www.nkotb.com

Hit a Pin and Win

So, I think I officially became eligible to enter the Looney Bin yesterday. Oh wait, I think I became eligible for that a long time ago. It was Logan's birthday and Brad and I were brave and took two 3 year olds, two 4 year olds, two 5 year olds, one 6 year old, one 7 year old, and a baby to the bowling alley. Wow!

Between all the bathroom breaks (seriously one kid every two minutes, some children twice), and the wandering off by the three year old that only wanted to play the arcade games to the children pushing the reset button all the time, to all the kids yelling at once, to Trey walking up other peoples alley,we surprisingly enough got through the occasion with no serious problems.

They had a lot of fun though and 4 year old Hayley won the game with a whopping score of 126. Way to Go Hayley. I think I will try the bumpers next time. Maybe it will improve my game. After three hours of bowling, Pizza, cake and presents, we finally called it quits and drove them all home.

My mom emailed this to me. I thought it was hilarious and thought I would share. Enjoy. Good thing we don't have smellervision. Please ignore the profanity, but this was too funny to pass up sharing it.

Chemical Peel-ing

Okay so lately I have asked myself the question over and over again of why, now that I am 30, and well past the puberty stage, do I start to breakout like a teenager again after a good ten years of keeping my skin relatively clear. Thanks to Accutane (Not, just gave me my scars, and ruined my eyesight among other side effects).

So after spending a lot of money in the past few months on face wash after face wash, I decided to indulge myself by trying something new. Chemical peels. Chemical peels are intended to
get rid of aging spots, improve skin texture, reduce pore size, and tighten the skin among other amazing results.

I set my appointment with Alicia and she came and did a glycolic acid peel, no big deal. Turned out great. A couple weeks later, set up another appointment and Alicia says, " Let's try something stronger". I tell her I am game for anything that is going to help my skin and to be as aggressive as she feels necessary. Here goes nothin.

Aside from the feeling of my skin burning off, I am still excited to get rid of my bad skin. Besides how bad could it be? Right?

Well, the first day I was a little red, and the second day.............

Well, this is how I felt and looked.

At this point, I am running scared because my skin was so tight from the chemical peel, that I couldn't smile and it was starting to wrinkle up. Then I notice, oh it is starting to peel so I think, like a mask peel, its going to peel off like after a sunburn turns to a tan right? So I go to peel a little bit off my forehead, and pretty much my whole dang forehead came off. Totally raw underneath and very painful.

At that point, I am thinking that I am doomed and my face will be like this forever and that I am going to have to start wearing an ugly bag over my head and go throughout life. I would probably just use one from our Scout skit or something. Desperate, I call Alicia's cell phone to tell her my horror story and get only her polite voicemail telling me,"I can't promise I will call you back, but you are welcome to leave a message." Of course I leave a message and hang up the phone.

I am too impatient at this point to wait for her to call me back, so I call a girl that used to work on my brothers skin and talked to her about the situation.

She told me that the skin had been peeled off prematurely and I would have to wait for it to tighten up again and dry out, but to let it peel on its own, in its own time. She told me I would reap great rewards for waiting it out for a few rough days.

So, will I go through this experience again, ABSOLUTELY. If it will clear up my skin, I will do anything, as torturous as it may be. Bring it on.

So, if Michele Pfiefer can go from this....

to this.......

then there has got to be some hope for me right? In the meantime, please, as hard as it may be, refrain from asking me weird questions such as: Oh, are you the leper who never got healed, or what the @*$! happened to your face?

It's okay to laugh at me, just keep it inside. After all, I would probably laugh if it happened to someone else.

P.S. Michele, what is your secret?? Chemical peel or a Shooting Star's heart? Please be truthful.

From the Mouths of Babes (Part 2)

Out of the Mouthes of Babes!!!

01/17/10- Today Logan came upstairs hysterically crying saying... I think I broke my bones.. I think I broke my bones. When I looked at his finger it was bent funny and really bruised. I asked him what happened and he told me he was lifing the weights downstairs. I thought it was just a 10 pound dumbell but no... it was the benchpress which was 65 pounds and it had fallen back and smashed his finger. I asked him to calm down and he said... "but I broke my bones and I don't want to go to heaven." My heart melted and tears were brought to my eyes. He was so scared and thought he was going to heaven. After I calmed him down and was figured out it was just smashed and bruised and not broken... he said, "I don't want to miss drum lessons (which he absolutely loves). He also said, "Crap, now I am going to write like freakin Crap cause my finger is ruined, Mom... do I have to miss school for a couple years?" He is so cute. Later on, I asked him if he wanted some Tylenol and he said, "Sure I guess.. if you want me to." It was like he was taking it for my benefit and he didn't really think he needed it but he was doing it to put his mom's heart at ease. It then dawned on me that he was attempting to life a 65 pound bar bell and he weighs 50lbs. I turned to Logan and asked....."Wait... did you lift it?" He answered with a yes! Wow..... what a tough little stink but please please please, never ever do that again!

11/13/08- Today I got the scout book out to look at what we were going to do for Scouts and Trey goes," Oh mom, do we have Scouts today?" I laughed because he is only 2. Then later that day during scouts, he came running up to me and says, "Mom, I love Scouts!"

10/07/08- Okay so Trey is starting to come into his own. He wanted to watch the robot backyardigans this morning so he said, "Mom, I want to watch robob and.... we are not going to the store today." Okay I guess he now thinks he is the boss.

10/6/08- Today Trey did the funniest thing. I don't even think he knows what he was saying but he wanted to play on the computer and I was trying to explain that he is too little to do it without mommy's help. He started arguing with me and said, "Mom, quit trippin!" Where did he learn that?

10/3/2008- Today Logan was playing with Mr. Potato Head and he came up to Brad and had stuck his hand through the back of it and was twisting it's eyes and says, "Daddy, look at Mr. Potato Head, Doesn't he look mysterious."

07/23/2008- Today we were driving on the freeway and Logan saw a red semi truck. He started saying," guys, guys, look at that red truck." We were all wondering what was so great about the semi truck and then he said,"It's freaking Optimus Prime."

07/19/2008- A couple of days ago, I went to renew my drivers license. I had Trey with me. We were waiting for our number to be called and I thought I smelled that Trey was stinky. I turned his head and whispered in his ear, "Trey,, are you stinky?" He said No. A minute later, Trey turns my head, and whipsers in my ear, "Mommy, are you stinky?"

07/19/2008- A few weeks ago, my friend Kelly was here and I was changing Trey's diaper. He was stinky. Just as I was done fastening up the diaper, Kelly goes," Trey, what is my name?" He points to her and says,"Poop!?

06/23/2008- Okay so I know most of these are about Logan, but he just runs his mouth the most. Today it started raining and Logan needed a hoodie. He asked me where one was and I told him. A couple minutes later he started crying because he could only find a regular sweatshirt. I asked him what was wrong and he said, this sweatshirt doesn't have a roof on it.

06/04/2008- Meg and Tay this one is just for you. Today Logan was in the bathroom going potty(I had to be in there with him because he is still scared of the toilet ever since the Old Faithful incident) and he was sitting there and he turns to me and says,"Mom, it is hard to go poop." No Joke that is what he said word for word.

05/30/2008- When the officer got here to break into my car, Logan says,"Mom, I need to ask you a secret." I leaned down, and he said, "How did the police get here, did you dial 8899?" It's good to know I can count on Logan in an emergency. I guess we better work on the numbers a little more.

05/21/08- This morning Trey came and climbed in our bed and I was squeezing him to give him a big hug. Right after I got done hugging him, he looked at me and smiled and said" I Fart."

05/21/2008- Today Logan ran in from outside and was so excited he couldn't even get the words out to tell us. Finally, he said," Mom...Dad... Roxy is so Lucky." Brad and looked at each other with eyebrows raised and then asked him why. He then proceeded to tell us, "Because shers a Leperachaun." Okay Loges whatever.

05/05/08- Today Logan noticed that Roxy was outside while the sprinklers were on and he goes," Mom, is Roxy outside while the sprinklers are on?" I replied with a yes. He then said," Oh well, Its just like a dog wash anyway"?

05/05/08- Today I was getting in the shower and Logan came in right when I was getting undressed. He looked at my chest and said," Mom, those two things are getting big, no seriously mom, they are huge."

04/23/2008- Today Logan asked me, "Mom, Where did you get me?" I answered, "From Heavenly Father". He said, "Oh."

04/06- Today I started singing Who let the Dogs out, who who who and Trey started singing who who goggie. who who goggie.

03/27- Logan was watching Dora this morning and there was a talking bush on there. Logan turned to me with an inquisitive look and said, "What... a talking bush?" A couple of minutes later, he turned to me again, and said," Ooooohhhh, its not a talking bush, its an echoing bush," like that makes it so much more normal.

03/15- Tonight Logan was telling us all what he learned at school. He said, "Red blood goes up and Blue blood goes down", referring to the blood stream in your body going through the arterial system to become oxygenated. When he said it, Brad goes, "What the crap is blue blood?", and Maysen responds by saying, "Dad, why don't you go check out a book or something."

03/13- So today, my little Trey, two years old, figured out how to play baseball on the Wii. How cute is that? He doesn't watch his two brothers does he? Anyway, he was pitching and the batter hit the ball and someone caught it and out his mouth, we hear, "Oh my gosh." He was actually bugged. I wonder where he gets his competitive attitude?
