secrets don't make friends

Dear Victoria,

My crazy mailman delivered your newest catalog today and I looked through it because it's like a bad car crash; you just cannot help it!! Really.

But... I have come to the conclusion that you suck!!

Real people do not look like those "people" you have in there. Where do you even find these girls?

My boobs... they will never be that round, perky, perfect, whatever... ever! (unless you're buying 'em for me) This body has gained and lost weight several times. I once lost about 150 pounds; you should see what happens to boobs then. Horrific!
I've also had a child. Do you even realize what pregnancy can do to a *real* person's breasts? Like woooah!!

Stretch marks? Where are they? Woman get them even if they don't have kids; men too without the kid stress. Hello people!! Skin stretches through childhood... hence the term we like to use-- streeeeetch marks. Learn it- live it!

Whoever has an ass like that- bless them! Again... pregnancy, weight gain/loss wrecks havoc on your body! *Real* people just don't look like that.


Today's mail delivery has me a little disturbed because it eventually becomes bathroom reading material for men. These men oogle over these perfect breasts, asses, thighs, and non bearing stretch mark bodies; along with many other unrealistic traits. We're going to get into bed with our men feeling like we're competing with... well, that. Ick. It's impossible. Seriously.

My body has come a long way from where it was; I'm a lot more confident now than I used to be but that does not mean there won't be a nagging voice inside my head.

So Victoria... granted you do have some ass'tastic skivvies! and some boob'licious bras! I know that spending $1million dollars on your fabric will not give me the boobs and ass that your "girls" have.

So Victoria... your secret is out!!
I'm going to Wal-Mart, at least those catalogs don't end up in my bathroom.

lights and sirens

Well hot shit! Lately I am the ultimate slacker and, well.. nothing! I'm over it. You should be too.

Jex and I had date night last night; which is very hard to come by considering our schedules with the kids and his work. I should add that he's a career firefighter for the town we live in; this is important info-- pay attention!
So last night we did it up! We enjoyed a yummilicious dinner out and then we went to a University hockey game. We had a flippin' blast! The University here takes our hockey VERY serious! All is said and done, night is over, go home (his house) and go to bed; Jex has to be at the fire station by 7am (he's always there early 6:30ish).

His alarm goes off... he gets up and starts to get ready but then... his pager goes off; as in his pager for the Fire Dept. Those high pitched tones followed by the dispatcher's voice can be bone chilling; you never know what you are about to hear.

*Attention Artic Tunder Fire Department: you're requested for mutual aid at "location" for a structure fire. (repeated) Attention Artic Tunder Fire Department: you're requested for mutual aid at "location" for a structure fire*

At that very moment life changes... everything around you stops.
What is it? Why? Where is he going? What's going to happen? Who?
While all these crazy thoughts are running through my mind this man is moving like nothing I have ever seen.
In a blink of an eye I get a quick kiss and an "I love you" and just like that, he's gone. *poof*

He's living his dream and deserves it more than anyone I know, yet my crazy thoughts are not stopping!

I want him to be safe, I want the people that he is about to come in contact with to be safe, I want it all to work out for the best; I too, am only human.

I have the same thoughts and feelings when I see and hear the lights and sirens on fellow fire trucks. I know what those firefighter's families have to listen to in the afternoon, at dinner, in the middle of the night and I'm sure they wonder the same thing. Our family dinners have been interuppted many times so he can go. I have been woken up in the middle of the night, out of a perfect sleep, because those tones went off. The end result of this all is the men's selflessness.

Just remember when you see and hear those lights and sirens... get the hell out of the way!!
It could be your family member that they're on their way to or take a glimpse at the time, think about their family for a brief second; did they get their kiss and "I love you" this morning?

one plus one = four

WoW! I can't believe I haven't blogged in... 5ish days or so. Eh who's counting?

I don't have a fan club, or one I know about yet anyways, to keep me on my toes asking for more mumble jumble so sadly I've been slacking in those thoughts.
I'm trying to get back on schedule with school, which is just not working! I think I'm having "senior meltdown" or I'm seriously distracted. Ok... both.

I've been spending a lot of time with Jex again. We seem to be working through some of our old "issues", communicating like we've never done and just "being". There are so many things that are different and so many that are the same; so far it's a nice happy medium which you don't see too often. Or at least I haven't; my track record has never been top knotch.

We've talked about spending time as an "us" before getting the kids together again, (at least as often as we used to) and being the 4 of us. I don't know how some families do it. I would gladly accept words of advice/wisdom from those out there that have combined their families.
What works? What doesn't?

Boy Child and Lil Miss are only 4ish months apart and being only children they are very head strong. All 4 of us are head strong stubbon individuals and when we're combined it is a very powerful dangerous situation!!

I'm being optimistic and keeping the faith!

so much for that

I suck! I didn't blog yesterday. Yep... I know. Shame shame...tsk tsk!

Oh well. I could give a million excuses, not literally a million but damn near close and they're all legit; seriously.

Sooo... NaBloPoMo you have been officially fluuuuuuuushed! I'll have to attempt it again some other time.

I was so consumed preparing for last nights party that blogging was not a priority. Sorry to disappoint.

On to happy news... the party was a hit! Big E was totally and complete surprised! Love, LOVED it. I made rockin' yummilicious food! Ordered a cake to side track him because the boob cake was to come later. I'll post pictures of "the cake" soon, I promise. It looked amazing!
Yesterday my laptop was tragically knocked off the kitchen table and is now out of commission. :-(
I'm pretty devastated; hopefully tomorrow I can have it repaired and make me computer happy again. Thankfully I can get my fix today at Jex's.

So NaBloPoMo I have to put you to rest... I'm so sorry; maybe we'll meet again. Until next time...

I thought but...

...apparently I was wrong.

I really thought my life was crazy, busy and the entertainment value was sometimes worth at least a bloggitty blog entry here and there but, man I guess maybe I was wrong!

I have been way busy with school; more so avoiding it than the actual doing. I'm planning a party for a friend's birthday tomorrow and this has been quite the ordeal! Burgers, dogs, kabobs, chips, dips, nachos, salsa, and I'm even making a cake! A boob cake!

You heard that right! Boob cake!

It's going to be a blast! A BBQ in the fall, a slice of boob and lots of laughs!

second chances

Second chances. Should they be given? Should they not?
What about those rare exceptions where a third chance comes in?
How does that go again... third time's the charm or something like that?

Are they really chances or could it be considered an attempt to make something stronger?

I'm really not looking for an answer because the approval rating is slim to none, and I'm aware of that. Thanks. Really.

More times than not... if something is broken you fix it; you don't throw it away.

At least you shouldn't.

sea of emotion

Today has just been a whirl wind day of emotions! I am incredibly exhausted and wish I could fancy up some crazy clever bloggitty blog but I must disappoint you; I just cannot do it.

Instead, I'm going to add to the whirl wind of emotions! Despite having a sissy ass cold totally and completely kick my ass, or the annoying pain in my right arm from todays flu shot, the pretty Bertha zit I now have (I'm going to name all zits Bertha from here on out) or the annoyances I'm facing with school, there are still some moments that make it all go away.

That is my child's love!

All you need is love!

the unbelievable happened

I’ve always seen and heard about those girls who are so surprised and happy that they shake immensely and then they talk about that funny feeling in their stomach after but I’ve never really believed it or thought it was possible. I guess maybe it’s because I’ve just never truly experienced it.

Well hold the phone!

My stomach is just a big pit of mush, I can barely type, and I’m shaking in my funky socks!

I loooooove funky socks!

I was actually at school today, trying to make some progress on the mass ass amounts (that is a LOT) of school work that I need to do. I mean I have a LOT! It really is inhumane the amount I have to get done. So I went to the student advisor’s office to show her something on a mid term exam that I totally bull shitted my way through.

{side note: sometimes it pays to have a sense of humor. Here’s proof!!}

(that's 2.0 points for not knowing the answer!)

So after showing her, she says, “my turn, there’s something on the desk for you”
I turn around and there sits…..

(sorry for the not-so-great picture and only showing part
because they really are beautiful!)


Me: “No way!”
Her: “Yes!”
Me: “Noooo!”
Her: “You get points for that AND you get flowers! Get out of here and enjoy them!”

{here’s when I giggle like a little girl, take my flowers and pretty much gallop away}

I go back to the table where I’ve been working, aka slacking off all day to read my card and it says…

“Thinking of you today.”
Love Jex


Now this might not sound like it is that big of a deal but it is HUGE to me. I love, love, love flowers; especially when they’re sent “just because”. I love daisies and the, not your average flower. I *generally* do not like roses but sometimes the odd and exotic colored ones amaze me. I get sappy when Boy Child gives me dandelions or May flowers. I’m a girl; I like girl “things”. Pretty much end of that discussion.

When Jex and I dated before I NEVER got flowers of any sort. Remember, he’s not exactly Mr. Romantic. Here’s a little background on Jex; his father owns a flower shop.
YEP!
Lemme repeat that for you… his father owns a flower shop.
His sister even sent flowers to the restaurant we were having dinner at for my birthday. When I first saw them, I started to say something then he says matter-of-factly, “Those are from my sister”.

It was a simple and beautiful arrangement but perfect, perfect for me. It’s just one of those gripes I have. I don’t want flowers all the time, I don’t expect them, nor do I need them. Do I like them? Yes! I give my girlfriends flowers just because. I don’t necessarily buy them either. If I see a pretty “something” on the side of the road on the way to their house, I stop, pick it and give it to them when I get there. Life is about the little things! We’re girls and we like pretty girl things.

I leave random small notes here and there. I’ll drop a card in a random place with mushy words in it to let someone know how I feel. Those little things can really make a BIG difference in someone’s life. Boy Child gets a Hershey Kiss in his lunch box everyday because I can’t be there to give him an actual “kiss”.

Getting flowers from Jex today is just unbelievably huge!! I can’t explain why my stomach has the weird feeling it has or even why I was shaking like I was or why I still am actually. I just know I have never experienced that before. I don’t know if I’ll ever understand or if I even want to. I’ve been given flowers before, several times for many different reasons, but this was… well this was just….different. No... no… special.


Yes- that’s it…. special.

medicine head

As much as I'd really love to blame my *insert mood* on the medicine I have prescribed myself to get rid of this sissy ass cold I really don't think I can. I guess it's really just a typical night and here's a glimpse of that.

jenn: HAHA!!!!!


...and that's just how I like to drive this crazy train!

million miles a minute

I can't always be funny, witty, sasstastic or any other kick ass adjective because sometimes life just happens and feelings are there so I'm just "Trackin' It", ya know, trackin' life. Well today is definitely one of those days.

My mind is running a million miles a minute!

Heck, it's almost 11:30am and I still haven't showered, granted I still feel like ass and after all, it is Sunday but that really is no excuse.

Here's where it all begins... last night I was invited over to Jex's for dinner and to see the new house. I was supposed to go see Go-Go and get my phone looked at, fixed- whatever because it is yet again not doing what it should be doing and that is making me happy! But because I was feeling like crapolllllla I decided the half hour drive one way wasn't such a good idea; my phone really can wait, as can my phone happiness.

I should probably give you some background information about Jex since he's been around for a while and you probably haven't. I met Jex over 2 years ago on a Saturday morning when the Boy Child and I were shopping at walmart. We were in a hurry, I didn't have makeup on, and my hair wasn't done. Doesn't sound like a big deal but I NEVER do this. I even wear makeup when I go camping. So the boy child sees a little girl from his school, he has just started kindergarten this year and seeing kids from school out in public is super exciting to them, so these two run up to each other and start talking. This little girl, who I'll refer to as Lil Miss for now, has her dad with her and of course we're forced to talk. I'm so embarrassed- no makeup, looking like I was hit by a mac truck. So our cute little children introduce us and then off we go. Weird chain of events later we talk about dating, he reeeeally puts in an excellent effort but I just wasn't ready, I had just gotten out of a lengthy toxic relationship. We still remained civil, friends, talked and all that happy jazz though.

Now fast forward a year and of course, a series of weird chain of events. It is now November 2007 and we talk about dating and all the stuff that goes with it and heck! we give it a go!
Things are good with us, the kids are a battle sometimes, (2 only children combined and having to share attention... Oy!) combining families-- kudos to those who can do it!! A few bumps along the way, nothing we can't work through.

February comes... we're both commitment phobes, I don't need to explain what that means, but he's the one who flips like a light switch and I'm left wondering "What the FUNK man!?!" Just like that he decides he no longer wants this, he needs space...blah blah the typical male jackass excuse.
Well... this chic doesn't give up that easy... I go to his house, tears flooding down my face, and fight for what I want, what I believe in, what I think is right... long story short- we're back together.

I have knee surgery, I'm pretty much useless (I pushed my limits though) and he's amazing- helps me, helps Boy Child get through everything, heck my surgery was scheduled around HIS work schedule so he could help and I stayed at HIS apartment. He even took Boy Child shopping for my birthday to get me a Mother's Ring, it has a diamond (Boy Child's birthstone and mine) in the middle with a pink Sapphire (just because I like pink) on each side. A guy that buys jewelry! That's HUGE!

Now the kids start fighting, Jex's ex-wife doesn't like me so she's always causing some stupid immature drama. Why? No idea- she's just like that. 30something going on 13. Lil Miss says she doesn't want us together...and on and on. We ignore it, we work through it. We started talking houses, land, properties and all kinds of other ideas and options. I'm amazed and shocked. Wow! Is he for real? Is this real? Is he over his phobia? I've made it this far, my phobia hasn't even crossed my mind lately. Combining families is tough but we can get through it. I even took out books from the library about it so we could learn more, talk about it and figure out what to do. One said the adjustment period could take years! YEARS!?! But we can do it!

Fast forward to June... he flips again instead of talking! Whodathunkit? I tried to talk to him sooo many times but everything would get mumble jumbled and not solved- at all!

So it's over... just like that. I'm devastated. Crushed. I walk away. I'm not going to fight this time though, he wants to throw me away like that, throw us, everything-- then let him. I can't do it and I won't. Time goes by, he apologizes and I feel a little better actually. I still hate him some days and love him other days. He's on my mind way more than I want him to be or even should be. I even tried dating other people to see if the distraction would help... NOPE! Big fat negative.

I get a phone call in September while I was at school..."Jex is buying a house." I couldn't even speak. I felt like I had the wind knocked out of me. I started to tear up and all I could mumble was "I'm at school... call you later." I didn't even know what to do or how I was supposed to feel. I was mad! I was sad. I was supposed to be sharing that joy with him. Just 3 months ago we we're talking about all those things. So I choked back the tears like I always do.

About a month ago we talked about giving it a go again but after some deep thought I decided I couldn't do it. I broke up with him before we even started. Maybe for the first time I'm going to admit I'm still scared and hurt. I had feelings I never experienced before. I had certain things and parts of my life that I still wasn't ready to tell him yet, but all that comes in time. I was comfortable but sometimes I found myself biting my tongue more often than I wanted. I was also thriving for other things that he wasn't giving but he might have been too. I love the little things and he's not exactly Mr. Romantic if you know what I mean. But we were still us.

If you've made it this far... you effin ROCK! {here's some chocolate}

Last night... I go over for dinner and as I'm pulling up the driveway, there's the porch/deck- whichever you prefer to call it and I say out loud "you bastard". It's exactly what I like, what we talked about in May. Oh dammit-- here come the tears! but I managed to choke 'em back.
It was so weird, as I was pulling into the driveway I didn't get that awkward feeling in my gut like I used to get at his old apartment after we split up. I pulled in, parked and it was like I knew where to go, my car just had that spot where it belonged.

I go inside and it was such an odd feeling. I had never been there before but that is not how it felt. Jex had boxes everywhere! He just brought the last of his stuff over that day so I had to cut him some slack but the feeling was different. I put my shoes in a spot, my jacket and my purse. I just found a home for them with no hesitation. Lil Miss gave me the tour of her new home which was nice because she's made Jex show everyone so far. We had dinner the normal blah blah... Lil Miss said her good nights and then it was just Jex and I. Ohhh boy! Can I do this? Can I handle it? We were on separate sides of the couch watching a movie. We did this when we dated-- I hated it, he wasn't very affectionate sometimes, he can't sit still, he fidgets, restless leg-- you get it. Drove me craaazy!

Next thing I know- the man is touching my hair. The affection I had longed for from him for months! Then he stopped and I asked him why he stopped... he said nothing but started again. I scooted over closer to him so I could put my head in his lap so he could keep doing it and I was instantly relaxed. I even noticed that he stopped fidgeting. Amazing. I couldn't keep my eyes open I was so relaxed. The feeling- the moment was indescribable but right. Something was different. I needed to go home, it was time to keep the moment just as it was.

This man has never been one for expressing his feelings because it's better and easier sometimes if you just don't; I'm guilty of this too at times. So today we have a brief conversation on Instant Messenger and it made me giggle and cry, I just couldn't choke back the tears. It's a good thing I'm home alone today.

it went something like this...

Jex: was just gonna send you a quick email.....a little "jenn" therapy.....c if it works.... (writing is "jenn therapy" and this makes me giggle- a lot)
Jex: but ur here...so.....
Jex: remember the other day u sent me a text about missing me? cant me off ur mind?
Jex: well...
Jex: last night.....
Jex: all i can think about today is how right it felt when u put ur head in my lap......(start the tears)
Jex: i stopped fidgeting for a bit....
Jex: my mind is going 150 million miles an hour today.
Jex: since the minute i woke up

Jex: well, i just wanted you to know how much im thinkng about you today....not really any more or less than any other day....just feelings are waaaaaay more intense than usual.
jenn: thank you for being honest and actually telling me how you feel
Jex: i wanted to sit down and write you a letter......but that will come in time. id rather tell u to ur face anyhow.
Jex: i gotta get back to work.....the more i sit, the more shit "k" comes up with for me to do!
Jex: ttyl!
jenn: sounds good- have a good day. ttyl

Now my mind is really racing... at a speed of a million miles a minute.

I need to do what?

Sooo... this afternoon I check out clevergirlgoesblog (read her stuff, she makes me literally laugh out loud!) and low and behold today's post is about nablopomo.

Huh? What? you ask. Yea- it looked foreign to me too.
Well guess what; it's National Blog Posting Month!

Yea no shit! Whodathunkit? Not me that's fo' sure! I never even knew such a thing existed. So the whole deal is you're supposed to blog every day for the entire month. Yep! EVERYDAY for the WHOLE month.

I figured what the heck. Why not? I'm just starting this thing; which by the way is like CRACK!! My life seems like a TV show sometimes and I could seriously blog several times a day about the day's events. I'll post everyday, get this frigger up and going and then who knows.

Ohh I know! I'll procrastinate some more, stare at the dishes in hopes that they'll wash themselves, maybe the laundry will get put away too, homework and papers won't need my brain and I can just fluff around on the computer all day because I mean really, that's the perfect life other than being a ROCKIN' MOM!!

And I have to do this because... "I promised" So here goes nothing...

Oh and in case you were wondering my head and *still* full of snot! Ick!
