some blog posts you just have to share. but first a little background info...

i discovered this witty blog called "people i want to punch in the throat" on FB. it caught my eye when she wrote about the mom's (and maybe some dad's but I call BS) that made that elf on the shelf gig way to over the top (it's weird, i felt she was speaking directly to me..haha!). her thoughts on the topic were COMICAL and well quite true (BUT don't hate the player hate the game...lol). she (jen) writes (blog posts) so she doesn't "kill" and i value and understand that statement...lol!

her latest post (the one i wanted to share) is rad...it's about rules for parents raising daughters! it's insightful, street savvy and it makes me CRINGE for whats ahead (and of course i chuckled my way through it...not a surprise). check her blog out.

On a side note my husbands style of parenting or shall i say "raising girls theory" is "let's give them a bowl cut"! "what you don't like that idea dina, well i can always stock pile lime and a shovel".

really greg? good god were screwed. (note to self, forward blog post to greg!) (note to self don't forward the blog post to greg in fear of him leaving for a "business trip" [with his passport] and NOT returning because he can't handle crazy teenage girls!) did i mention before we had children greg "really and truly" thought he was a "Y" guy and that he didn't make girls! all i have for that is KARMA. to my girls future boyfriends, good luck!

this pic has nothing to do with the blog post but i love the tomboy add! It's sad how are advertising for girls has changed...any-who, i got to go because my three year old GIRL is asking for a bubba and that she's C O L D (well your cold because the heats not on! Why, you ask..she put some playmobile in it last winter and almost started a fire!). fun times.

i'm not supermom. some days i'm a HOT mess of a mom. i mean BAD mom's kind of behaviour.

i suck at spelling (even with spell check). it's like the elephant on the blog really...lipstick on a pig? whatever, dyslexia will not stop my crazy from reaching the masses. lol or like 5 people.

i now get how moms can move cars off their trapped children...offspring love is epic.

children will be your greatest joy and your greatest frustration.

living life unscripted is really worth trying (especially with your kids).

i have earned every laugh line and saying "what the hell" while furrowing your brow will cause a number 11!

you become what you think of yourself and others for that matter.

every year passes faster then the year before it.

i have many regrets, many wishes and wants that will never come to be.

i have a will stronger than most and in some areas it's far weaker then others.

rain f'n sucks (lol..i know what your thinking "move then, you twit").

marriage is hard. marriage is powerful. marriage teaches you about yourself.

pinterest is the devil i love.

my mom is a bloody saint and i wish i knew this much sooner in life.

strangers will surprise you and friends at times will disappoint you.

I burp like a large trucker (TMI?).

i shake it like a beyonce back up dancer when people aren't around.

we all have fractures in our foundation (some people got those puttied up faster than others).

speaking your thoughts is your choice, it's up to others to choose to be offended by your words (i've been on both ends of this).

being a child of a portuguese parent gives me the god given right to speak in my mothers accent as i choose (sorry mom).

life isn't always fair BUT it's what you do after it that matters.

being rich doesn't save you from death.

having 10% animal cunning instincts will come in handy.

the book baby wise works and people who have practise it are in a "special cult like group". being a short female means; don't underestimate me, ever.

children's imaginations ABSOLUTELY blow me away.

our school systems are archaic!

chips are tasty, very tasty.

i have a led foot in my husbands car. i

think i'm younger than i am, WAY younger ( lol).

i will never stop learning whether i want to or not.

sunsets and sunrises are like dessert for my eye's.

that there is something bigger then us out there.

finally... what i know for certain is that there may not be another day ahead and i will "try" to value each one that i'm allowed to have.
