Mommy, Daddy, Boss, Diva = Kiera

Lately in my home, my husband and I have been having a continuous argument with our 2 year old daughter. My sweet little angel feels that she does not need to do anything we say, and we feel she needs to do everything we say. Apparently she is confused on who is the boss of the house. We have conversations that go like this all the time:

Daddy: Kiera, who is that? (points to mommy)

Kiera: ............. (looks at me like "who cares?")

Daddy: That's mommy! (smiles really big....points to me and says) MOMMY....

Kiera: Mommy! (points to her chest with a big toothy grin)

Daddy: No, your not mommy silly...SHE is (points to Mommy)

Kiera: Mommy! (points to her chest again)

Daddy: No, no, you are Kiera (pats her chest smiling)

Kiera: (pats her chest and shrills) MOMMY!

Now of course my husband thinks this is hilarious and starts to laugh...which in turn makes Kiera laugh.

Mommy: Hey Kiera? Who's this? (As I point to my husband)

Kiera: Adam

Daddy: (not laughing anymore) Nooooo...I am Daddy...(drawing out the word daddy very slowly)

Kiera: Adam!

Daddy: Noooooo....I am Daddy.. (he says again giving me a dirty look for calling him by his name all the time)

Mommy: Keira sweetie...where's daddy?

Kiera: DADDY! (points to herself)

Mommy: Nope...(walks over to Daddy points at his chest) Daddy...(points to my chest) Mommy...(points to Kiera's chest) Kiera!

Kiera: Karwah..(points to herself) Mommy...(points to herself) Daddy! (points to herself)

Mommy: (sigh...turns around so Kiera can not see her laugh)

Daddy: Who's that? (points to Tyler)

Kiera: Tywer

Daddy: Good girl! Who's that? (points to Dakotah)

Kiera: Kowah

Daddy: Good Girl! Who's that? (points to Kiera)

Kiera: Karwah

Daddy: Good Girl! Who's that? (points to mommy)

Kiera: ................. (the look again)

Daddy: Who's that? (points to mommy again)

Kiera: ..................(the who gives a shit look)

Daddy: ~sigh~ Ooookay.....who's this? (points to himself)

Kiera: ADAM!

Mommy: (smiles really big)

Daddy: Nooooooooo.......I'm Daddy!

Kiera: Daddy (points to her chest)

Daddy: Where's Mommy?

Kiera: MOMMY! (point to her chest)

Mommy: Noooo, I'm mommy (puts to my chest) You're Kiera....(points to Kiera's chest) Kiera...(I pat her chest gently)

Kiera: Mommy! (pats her chest)

Mommy: (looks at daddy) See? She thinks she is the boss....I told you! (giggle)

Daddy: No, she is just confused. You just need to work with her more.

Mommy: No, she knows who we are....she is just being difficult. (in my head I am screaming " I need to work with her more? You dick! I work with her all the time!!)

Daddy: No, I don't think so....I think she really does think she is Mommy, Daddy, and Kiera.

Mommy: But not Adam....she's got that down pat. (smile)

Kiera: Adam!

Daddy: Will you please quit calling me that around her...she is getting confused.

Mommy: Well, if I didn't have to yell your name all the time because you ignore me....she wouldn't have picked that name up so easy.

Daddy: (sigh) I don't ignore you

Mommy: Uh huh....

Daddy: I am deaf in my left ear...you know that

Mommy: Well, you can still hear at of the right one now can't you? (crosses arms...then uncrosses them noticing that Kiera is watching) Hey sweetie pie (to Kiera)....we should talk about this later ok Adam?

Kiera: ADAM! (points to Daddy)

Daddy: (sigh) See?

Mommy: (laugh I couldn't help myself) Yeah babe, I see... Well, since apparently you have all this under control and I tend to just confuse her I will go grab us dinner. You want me to take one of the boys?

Daddy: Sounds good...yeah take Tyler with ya, I'll hang out here with the other two and we'll play "Who is that?" with the family pictures. That might help.

Mommy: Ok. (rolls eyes) Come on Tyler let's go Bye Bye.....Bye hun (kisses Daddy on cheek) Bye Dakotah (blows kiss) Bye Kiera! (blows kiss)

As I am walking down the stairs with Tyler to go out to the garage.....

Kiera: Bye! Buh-Bye! Bye Tywer! Buh-Bye! Bye Mama! Buh Bye! Muaaah! (as she blows me a kiss and waves)

I stand there looking at my husband who has the bugged eyes...smile sweetly at him...then look at my daughter....thinking "What a little shit" as I blow her another kiss.

I KNEW IT!! SHE KNEW WHO I WAS!! ROFL But Alas...we have the same conversation with her all the time. It is like a friggin game to her. Oh well, at least it keeps life interesting and... I have to say that secretly...I giggle everytime she calls him Adam hee hee She is soooo damned cute! She makes me smile everyday.

Wordless Wednesday

Well, it seems that all I am good for during the week is to bring you my Wed picture lol Hopefully that will change soon, but in the meantime I will try and at least keep this up lol. OH! and since I missed last weeks...I put two on here...enjoy.

Wordless Wednesday

Hmmmm...not sure what this sign is for, but I am sure I have the wrong idea. :-)

In and Out...making it FAST

I know I have been MIA ....again...but once again I would like to say "I am still alive" Whoooooo hooooooooo! I don't have much time so I am making this post a quick one.

1. I miss you guys A LOT!!

2. Husband is still Laid-off...money getting REALLY tight.

3. I love having my husband home, so having mixed feelings about him. I know I should push him to get a job, on the other hand we had SUCH a crazy schedule that I kinda want him to take his time and we could try and leave off the unemployment a little longer.

4. My sons are doing really well in school (which ends this week) We have now done a IEP (Individual Education Program) to determine how next year will go. I am happy to say that both of them will be going all day next year. it will be rough, but we are hoping for the best.

5. My stress level has gone done (believe it or not) and I started exercising some...SORT OF like I planned lol. My stresses are still here, but they are of a different kind :-)

6. I have been making time for ME lately. (A little too much time I think) To the point where NOW I feel guilty that I do not do anything around here or something. SIGH...I don't know what my problem is. I mean I DO do stuff....I just feel I don't do enough and that I am taking advantage of the fact that my husband is home.

7. I am having a Girl's Night here soon (June 12th) it will be my first one since Jan. I can't wait. I miss My friends a lot lol We all have such busy lives now that we barely even talk to each other let alone see each other. The Vodka will be flowing that night!!!!!! (BTW Invitations have not gone out, I am still planning it)

8. The reason I have not been on here is.....I am have a good time. :-) I'm still have troubles evening out my computer time (equal time for each activity I do on the computer blogs, email, games, music, etc) But I am going to try harder!

9. I have an award to accept, but I do not have the time ATM. I will accept it on my next post! KISSES

10. My daughter is doing EXCELLENT in school. They have decided to boost her up to the next level of classroom, because they feel she is too advanced for her class now. YIPPIE! It makes me proud!

Miss you all! Time is up!

PS Sorry about the typos

Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest :-) Off to go read today's posts! I'll write more later!

P.S. What is this Wordless Wednesday thingy? Can anyone help a girl out? I think it looks like fun, but I am not sure on the rules and such.

It's Time To Rise....

So.... I do not know about you.....but I have been in a funk for about the last three months. I have spurts of energy that usually do not last long. Sometimes I have a great day and then by the next I am feeling "funky" again. Sigh. I have lost interest in many things that I used to enjoy very much. I also have a really hard time committing my time to more than one fun activity. For instance, if I am reading a good book (which I have been reading A LOT lately) I do not watch my movies, play my games, blog, or email. I stay with the reading until I have had my fill, then I go to my next activity I feel like doing...Hence the reason for my absence on my blog.

SIGH..... I have had no energy, no drive, feet guilty about my kids all the time.....and so on.... At night after my kids go to bed I try and do the "fun things," but I have been just too tired...though I can't sleep. I am so restless at night and I never end up sleeping until about 2am. I know this sounds a lot like depression, but I do not think it is. Well, maybe a little bit... I think I will chuck it up to worry and the feel of losing control over my life. (I am kind of a control freak) It is really starting to mess with me lol. So many things in my life are being turned upside down or they are at a stand-still. Despite my hard work and effort, I just feel like I am going nowhere fast! As I lie awake at night I wonder:

What do I need to do tomorrow?

Did I get everything done today?

Does anybody else work this hard?

Am I a good parent?

What else can I do to make my children's life better?

Do my kids love me?

How are we going to get through this?

Is he going to be able to get another job?

What are going to do about medical?

Did I pay this bill?

Did I lock the doors?

Does he still love me for who I am?

Does anyone care?

Does this really matter?

So what?!

Why do I have to make all the decisions?

What should I do next?

Am I turning into a basket case?

Why can't I go to SLEEP!??

Do I need another drink?

Am I happy?..........................

These and MANY more unanswered questions entered my mind......now for those who know me.....I DO NOT have a low self esteem...I love my husband....I love children...I love myself (hee hee...very true.) I very rarely second guess myself, let alone my life. But ALL of us get in a "Funk."

I can remember when it all started too. Since then there have been a series of events that just multiplying enough to keep me down. Mine started off as a pregnancy scare....which to tell you the truth, I probably wouldn't minded having another child, but the time is not right and it seems mine are destined for some kind of developmental delay of some kind..../cry......alot. Then of course I kept getting sick..... then my daughter was accepted for a school to be apart of a class for the developmentally delayed....(which was great, but at the same time very heart-breaking.....) Then of course my husband got his "notice" at work and will be laid off in Mar.....and it just kinda snowballs from there....blah blah blah...feel sorry for me pfffftt.

I am just sick of how things are going and decided to do something about it. It is time to rise above my problems and cut this shit out! I need to gain the feeling of control over my life again. Here is my plan of attack...(if anyone else is in a funk, please feel free to try it with me) :-)

1. I wrote out a list of everything I felt like I needed to do sometime in the near future. I put EVERYTHING on this list that I ever though about doing around the house, in the yard, for the kids, etc. I even put very simple things that are REALLY easy to do, but I just NEVER have the time to do it. Now this list I kept to chores and such. Example: 1) Fix Doorbell 2) Get Hair cut 3) Clean out closet 4) Gather up all pictures around the house.....

2. Now that I have my huge list (5 pages long) I decide to try and do ONE thing of that list every day. I told myself it was just a reminder of everything I need to do...no pressure. But when you do it, MARK IT OFF...it feels so good to do so.

3. NOW...make a list of fun things you like to do. Make sure to list things that are fun and simple you can do around your house or outside AND THEN add a few things that are fun that will get you out of the house. Do 1 of those everyday. That way you make time for something fun for yourself. If the timing permits it...leave the house for a fun activity.

4. Today I went to the doctor to talk with them about my increased number of migraines in the last couple months. I also went ahead and threw in my "Women Appointment" too. They told me I was extremely stressed and prescribed me some pills that will help me in my extremely stressful situations. I hope they work. Whenever I get REALLY stressed out I take on of them and just keep going on about my day. Sounds good in theory right? Well, I hope that is they way it works.

5. I have also joined a "Cause." I am helping to try and get a important bill passed here in Kansas that will effect my children's progress in our fight with Autism. It is the House Bill 2094/SB 207. I will not go into all the details about it since most of you do not even live here in this state, but it would open SO MANY doors for my children and give them so many opportunities that have been just dangling in front of them for years. We have been at a frustrating roadblock with these programs and we feel (at home) we have done everything we can at this point...now it is time for these other programs and we can't, because my boys are on waiting lists...6 of them I think. :-( Anyway, it makes me feel like I am actually doing something for my kids again and helping spread awareness to those who need it. (Which is A LOT most people do not know shit about Autism) If you are in Kansas please look at this site Invisiblekansans.com

If you do not have something like that to get behind...try and volunteer or donate just a LITTLE bit. It will make you feel good about yourself. It is always nice to help others.

P.S....in April I have to warn you I will be on my Soap-box spreading the good word about Autism :-)

6. My last thing I am trying at the moment is every night after the kids go to bed, I stretch. It feels wonderful and you can almost feel the tension just flowing out of your body. Eventually, I hope that this will turn into my exercise time, but for now I am satisfied with stretching. you have to start somewhere right?

So anyway, that is my plan for now. It has been a good start for me and I hope I will continue to keep my drive and maybe bounce back to my old self. Of course I am going to try blog more when I can. BTW, I have not read all of my last comments. I will read those and hopefully make my rounds to everyones' blog this evening to say hello and catch up on all your lives as well. I missed you guys and I hope you are all doing well.

If you have any suggestions that you think my help me in my fight please feel free to post, I would love to hear them!

Is it Hot in here?

I have to say that I found this week so much fun. A whole week of hot guys...who could complain about that? Today I have another hottie for you. His name is Milo Ventimiglia...who is that you say? He is one of the main charaters in the TV show Heroes. I am sure he has played in other movies or shows, but this is what I know him from. When I first say him in season 1 of Heroes I thought he was "cute"... but not sexy. As I watch the show, he just keeps getting sexier and sexier. Especialy now that he trimmed up his hair.

Well, I am off to enjoy my Saturday. Tonight I am going to Sal's Japanese Steakhouse! Yummy!!

Hope you all have a great Staurday as well!

Sexy Man Newcomer....

Well, my next hottie is one that barely makes the list.......because of his age. lol I thought it would be fair of me to add this MAN to the list. Some of you may not agree with me on this one but that is just tough. :-) He is 19 years old (20 in July) and is one of the world's most eligible bachelors. He hit stardom as a child and is now trying to break the shackles of the title "child." I always sympathize to those type of rising stars. Having people take you as a serious adult when all they see is that "innocent child" has got to be rough. I remember growing up that I couldn't WAIT to be an adult and make my own decisions. So, here is one less person he has to persuade that he is a man.....and a sexy one at that.

I give you Daniel Radcliffe......

Still not convinced? The next photos are of him in a play called Equus. In the play, Daniel bares all...but not in these pics. I chose ones that leave a little to the imagination.

Linda Winer of Newsday enthused, "The actor, tiny but a commanding feral presence, manages to be both extraordinarily lucid and mysterious as Alan Strang, the alienated provincial English boy who literally worships horses but blinds six of them in an explosion of psychosexual religiosity. Radcliffe, despite the visceral physicality of the role, appears supremely comfortable in his own skin — and, yes, kids, thanks to the nude scene, we get to see all of it."

“Offended mothers were calling up and saying I shouldn’t be doing this, that they weren’t going to go see it,” Radcliffe admitted recently. “OK, don’t see it. They’re treating it like it’s pornography, and it’s not. It’s only seven minutes at the end of the play when I’m naked, and I’m 19 now.” (Great answer Daniel)

Forecast: Still Raining....

So I did the ultimate Bad Boy yesterday...today I am doing the ultimate sweet, adorable, sensuous, sexy, all around nice guy.... Josh Harnett.

I just love this guy. I first saw him in a so-so- movie called The Faculty...anyone see this one? It was alright...not great. Of course even back then he was hot. Since then, he has been many movies such as Blackhawk Down (Great Movie!), Peral Harbor, Sin City, and one of my personal favorites 40 Days and 40 Nights. In all these movies (even in the one where he was an assassin) he comes across as sensitive, caring, and sweet. Anyone else just love the flower scene in 40 Day and 40 Nights? WHEW....turned me on! Also, I just love his eyes!

I would write more, but it is getting dangerously close for Bones to come on ...lol I know, I am a nerd....but I got to watch my bones when I can! Hope you all enjoy Josh....

I am out. Kisses

Happy Hump Day!

In honor of the weekly Hump Day...I am going to share with you one of my all time favorite sexy men. I have had a crush on this guy for years and years. He has dark hair, dark eyes...my favorite combo. He has a reputation of being a "bad boy," which he has truly earned. He has tattoos, smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish, and cusses like a sailor...with an accent! WHEW...he is soooo damned hot. He is an actor that takes risks to do whatever roles that appeal to him, and he doesn't give a shit what people say about him.

He also has his sweet and innocent side as well, especially when it come to his baby boy. He is depicted as a wonderful father despite all the other bad press. Since his son's birth he has settled down a bit. He is a great actor as well as smoking hot and I think I will love him forever. I have added a few of my favorite quotes form him towards the bottom...it really let's you see a bit of his personality. Enjoy!

Here he is....Colin Farrell!

Colin Fun-Facts:

Dropped out of the Gaiety Drama School in Dublin and a few months later auditioned for a part in "Ballykissangel" (1996) and was successful.

The youngest of the four children, he has one brother and two sisters

Ranked #98 in Premiere's 2003 annual Power 100 List. It is his first appearance on the list.

Named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 2003.

His mother, Rita, forced him to take dancing lessons once his brother, Emmon Farrell Jr., started them.

Voted 6th in 'The World's Sexiest Man of 2003' in Company magazine.

His girlfriend, model Kim Bordenave, gave birth to a 7lb. 9oz. baby boy called James Padraig. He was born on Friday September 12th, 2003 in a Los Angeles hospital.

He has suffered from chronic insomnia since he was 12 years old.

One of his favorite books is "When Nietzsche wept" by Irvin D. Yalom.

On his left ring finger, above the knuckle he has the name "Millie" tattooed. "Millie" was a nickname for his first wife, Amelia Warner.

He has two tattoos on his left forearm. The first one is the words "Carpe Diem" (Latin for "Seize the day"). Beside this tattoo there is a second tattoo, which is a black cross.

Auditioned to become a member of the Irish boyband, "Boyzone", but was turned down.

His idol Al Pacino called him "the best actor of his generation."

Played soccer during his youth.

Weighed 1 lb. 6 oz. at birth.

Was a line dancing instructor in a nightclub in Limerick called Docs

Resides in Dublin and Los Angeles.

His son James has Angelman Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder.

As well as working with charity, and speaking at the Special Olympics World Games in 2007, he has donated his salary for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) to Heath Ledger's little daughter (who was left nothing in a will that had not been updated in time). Ledger had originally been cast in the film and was replaced by Farrell, Johnny Depp, and Jude Law.

Quoting Colin Farrell:

I'm just a true Irish boy at heart. I'm just myself, I stick by my guns and I treat people the way I think they should be treated, regardless of their status. And I just have a laugh.

(On the girl that will interest him) "The usual obvious bullshit. Sense of humour, a bit of danger, good fun. A good heart is a really sexy thing. All women have the potential to be sexy and it's nothing to do with the dress someone wears or the make-up they put on their face, it's the aged-old cliché saying: 'What comes from inside'. God, I've met gorgeous women who I'd fancy and give one to, but at the end of the day they're not particularly sexy because they haven't got much going inside and they are too concerned with themselves. And then I've met women who wouldn't be as nearly as attractive and, because of the sense of fun they have and their joi de vivre, as they say, they'd be much sexier and you'd fall for them in a nanosecond."

I think I was 8 or 9 when I had a f*cking mad thing for Marilyn Monroe. I used to leave Smarties, the Irish equivalent of M&M's, under my pillow with a little note saying, 'I know you're dead, but these are very f*cking tasty, and you should come have a few. I won't tell anyone.'

"I couldn't care less about who sees my bits ... My friends asked how I could do scenes like that and not get excited, but it wasn't like that. My bits looked the size of a cashew nut!" (on appearing nude in Tigerland (2000)).

TWO For Tuesday!

Now, before I get on with the Hot Sexy Man Week stuff, I have a little bit a business to take care of here. My dear friend Maki over @ w/ Love, Sincerely - Posh Mom's Diary gave me a wonderful award that I have not yet accepted.

I have to say that this award is one of my very favorites. I take great pride in being a mom and sometimes it is just nice to see that some understands/appreciates everything you go through. Thank You Maki! Kisses!

The rules for this award are, as follows:

1) Admit that ONE thing you feel awful about involving being a mom. Get it off your shoulders. Once you've written it down, you are NO LONGER allowed to feel bad. It's over with, it's in the past. Remember, you're a good mom!

2)To remind yourself that you ARE a good mom, list SEVEN things you love about your kids, you love doing with your kids, or that your kids love about you. These are the things to remind yourself of EVERY DAY that you rock!

3)Send this to FIVE other Moms of the Year that deserve forgiveness and a reminder that they, too, are the best moms they can be!!! Remember to send them a note to let them know you've selected them, and add a link to the person who nominated you!"


Answers:

I feel awful about:

I feel awful about how often we go somewhere as a family....pretty much never. We do not have a car that will fit all five of us plus car seats. Going anywhere is such a pain in the ass, that it rarely happens and if it does, we usually ask my parents to accompany us. They bring their car and one of us rides with them.

Seven Things I Love:

1. I love my children's laughter! All of them have such cute laughs and giggles.

2. I love watching them sleep....not just because they finally feel asleep, but because they look soooo peaceful and angelic. Especially my boys, they have such a hard life. There faces are often twisted in confusion, anger, frustration...that at night they seem at peace.

3. I love it when my children speak. ANY word what-so-ever!! Children talking or speaking is very rare in my house. When they do throw out a word or two I can't help my excitement! They cute little voices are music to my ears.

4. Going to the zoo. I love taking my kids to the zoo. It gets them outside. We play with animals, walk around, and just relax having a good time with each other.

5. I love it when my children accomplish something for the first time. It makes me feel like we are moving forward and it is exciting to see my children grow.

6. I love taking my children swimming. They are hilarious in the water. Unlike the mess I have to clean up after baths...they can go crazy in the pool outside and no harm done.

7. I absolutely, positively LOVE IT when my children say that they love me. I do not hear it much and it is a new phrase in the house, but every time I hear that phrase my heart melts and love just gushes through my body. It almost always brings tears to my eyes.

Alrighty! Now for the hot guys!! hee hee

Now if you have read my posts in the past you might have picked up on the fact that I am totally in love with two brothers. (well at least the play them on TV) Since it is Tuesday, and everything seems to be Two for Tuesday around here, I felt that I should offer the same deal to all my readers. Here are Sam and Dean Winchester! (or Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles)

This picture just SCREAMS threesome...doesn't it?

Here are some of them by themselves:

Suddenly I feel sleepy...or something like that....

Gotta love it when a man just gets out of the shower.

Do I really have to say anything here? Yum

Dirty is good...

These are my boys that I try and watch every Thursday night on Supernatural. I can't seemed to get enough of them. When I first started watching (season 1) Dean was the one for me, hands down. He was soooo hot. The bad boy, with the cool car, leather jacket, bad attitude, short hair, and of course incredible kissable lips. Not to mention a great sense of humor...even a little crude. But as the next season blossomed...so did Sam. It is like you can see him getting hotter and hotter with every new episode. WOW. So now we have this sweet, intelligent, shy, tough, God-fearing, hottie. Both have rock hard bodies, with killer smile and dimples to boot. Oh and did I mention their eyes? Hmmmm.....lovely.

And of course.....they fight evil and are trying to save the world. Hmmmmm....just a couple of regular heroes, eh? Come on ladies! Heroes need lovin too!
