I hate the word Diet. I hate how the word Diet makes me negative right now in talking about Hate.
But, lo and behold, the scale tactfully mentioned to me today that it does not register livestock. What-ever! So since I have broken up with my last and I want to say most rewarding (besides my hubby and kids of course) relationship to date with my most handsome Doctor, Dr.Pepper, it has been a nightmare!
He calls me all day long crying, and asking, 'Why? Why Big Mama when we were so good together???' the poor guy is having serious with drawls! I hope he does not get like, all psycho on me. I thought for a brief moment today that he was actually stalking me! Like seriously, he is everywhere I look! And he is a total cheater too because I see him with other people. Sheesh! I so-oh-oh don't need such drama in my life.
Good Bye Handsome, emotionally satisfying, sweet Doctor. I have moved on to better things. You don't really need me, you will get over me. I promise. It'll take time and all will be well.

5 Months Old
Kehlton Boyd Bristol
28" Tall
17lbs 2oz
2 Bottom Teeth
Dear Grandma Jill,
This is Kehlton. Mommy left this box thing with lights on for me to play with. I like pushing all the buttons.
I am five months old and mommy took my pictures, I did not like it even when she laid me on my side and put a bumpy pillow under my head. I smiled just to make her happy. Yeah...I'm cool.
Guess what? I have two bottom teeth! It hurt like an old diaper! I got so mad when I chewed on my thumb! Grandma, Why does my little teeth hurt my thumb when I chew on it?
Mommy does not let me eat all the food at dinner. I still get that boring milk stuff. When do I get all the other stuff like they do? I try to drool a lot to let Mom know that the whole 'Got Milk' thing is getting pretty old.
Aunt Peggy bought me this rockin outfit so I can go get some chicks! I wore it to church today, and the older ladies behind Mommy's shoulder kept smiling at me and making these googly noises. Grandma? Why do old ladies make googly noises at me? I looked totally hot though. Yeah...I'm cool.
I love you Grandma. Come see me at turkey time. Maybe you and I can sneak away with some hot grub that Mom won't let me have. You'll give it to me though, cuz...well...your cool too!
I hope you DIG my chick-gettin-photo's!

Yeah. Live in the Moment. Even if it smells funny.
So, a normal day with my kids. It goes like this. I have some quiet time spending it with Kehl and Kaylah. Kehlton usually sleeps most of the time, but Kaylah thinks its fun to occupy my every minute. She loves to help putting dishes away and has made it clear that the silverware is HER job!
Once the older kids come home, I proceed to get them the best after school snack ever, cuzz I just rock like that. On cold days like today, it will be hot chocolate and toast, but it is usually cookies, or anything that smells up the house from the minute they walk in.
I am officially the coolest Mom on the block, and its funny, there seems to be a lot of neighbor kids coming over more and more after school. Hmmmm...coo-weeky-dink?? I don't think so. (Yeah, I totally just spelled out coo-weenky-dink!!)
So anyway, I have taken on this whole, 'Life Is Short, Live in the Moment' thinking with my kids this last year. It has changed the way I am as a Mother entirely! I have spoken with so many Moms, and I always hear the same thing. "I wish I could go back and enjoy it more."
Since I have began my new found release on Motherhood, something has changed with the kids. They have had this thinking like, "Hey, Moms like, all cool now, So...Uh, we can like get away with a lot more stuff...you know..."
Yeah...true story. Rheesah thinks its funny to shake her butt and me. Now I know this seems highly inappropriate, and rude, but you would just have to see her do it to know that it is playful banter and if anyone can shake their butt respectfully, Rheesah can. She even has this little chant 'Bow-chick-a-WOW-WOW' as her but goes from side to side. (Yeah I totally just spelled out Bow-chick-a-WOW-WOW)
Well, yesterday she totally stepped over the BOW WOW edge when she decided to pass gas and belch all day. This was not just any belch, or any typical gas passing. No! I suddenly knew what George Bush was talking about when he insisted that there were weapons of mass destruction that had to be found. However, he never would have guessed that they could be found on our own soil. Right here in a little home in Utah. Who would have thought?
Yesterday was a big day for Rheesah using her weapons of war, and I instantly issued a RED THREAT level for the home. It got even worse, when she decided to 'Bow-chick-a-WOW-WOW right by Savannah and I with a Russian missile that totally vacated the residence.
Okay. Something has to be done! What was I to do? Like...I am all cool now...and stuff! I can't throw the crack down and become a mean mom again. So you can imagine my distress of wondering how I could possibly tactfully handle the situation. I know that the gas passing is all I have mentioned, however to gross you out even more, there has been a whole lot more belching going on as well. And she has corn dogs for lunch. The disgusting part is, I didn't have to ask.
GROSS!!!! I WANTED TO RUN OUT OF MY HOUSE SCREAMING!!!!
Well, Savannah. My articulate brainiac decided to start calling Rheesah a TOMBOY. At first, I was going to stop her making sure that she did not hurt her feelings. Then something told me to hold back. I am so glad I did.
She went off telling her that only disgusting TOMBOYS belch, and fart, and shake their butt!
THIS IS WHERE I STOOD BACK, LOOKING LIKE A GENIUS!!!
Problem solved. Rheesah hates being a TOMBOY. She not longer uses weapons of mass destruction. My house smells better, and I don't get to listen lunch aftershocks.
I still get to be the coolest Mom on the block, and look at all the memories we are creating.
...I wonder now, though, how can I keep my silverware drawer organized. Oh well!
Yeah. Live in the Moment. Even if it smells funny.

WOW-EEEE!!! LIFE IS CRAZY!
So, In my mind I imagine that I have it worse than anyone else! I just want you all to know how thankful I am that you let me have this minor luxury, even though I know it is not true. So, to keep this short, let just highlight the last...whatever days its been...
1.Apparently we all had the swine flu. There was a point when I WANTED to die, maybe even wished for it, but never actually thought anyone of us WAS going to die. Whew! Close One!
2.Every room of my house is dirty. Not just 'needs tidying' But 'Holy Crap! There taking the kids away! DIRT-YYY! I will never get caught up. The swine flu didn't kill me, but I would rather DIE than clean this house!! I will take pictures of it...you'll see when I post them all!
3.I learned that Moms can still feed there kids when they have the swine flu. And, the kids hate eating Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches, Ramen, and Cereal for dinner...for five days in a row. I made up for it when I let them help themselves to the tub of ice cream because I felt so bad. I will be sure to point out the Rocky Road stuck to my kitchen counters in the pictures just for fun!
4.Savannah be sure to let me know that it was DUH-sgusting when she saw me take Baby Kehltons temperature...Rectally!
5.Jeremy got a new job! What a man! What a man! What a mighty fine man! Big Daddy's bringing home the bacon!
6.Big Mama made some rocking hot aprons that you must check out...once I get them on my big mamas hobby hut site. They are cute!
7.Kaylah now says "OKAY! BIG MAMA!" when she is in trouble. This makes me laugh, then she in turn thinks its a game to stand on the kitchen island. I can't help it! She is one smart cookie and I can't be mad at her! She is a three year old genius!
8.Great news, everyone around me is getting pregnant! Take mental note to not drink the Kool Aid!
7.Even better news, I AM NOT PREGNANT!!! AHH-HAAA-HAAA-HAAA-ha!
8.I have been sewing more and more of the Hooter Hider Nursing Aprons. It is on the other blog I mentioned as well, and with all this fertility news, I will most likely be sewing a whole lot more!
9.I was released from Achievement Days :-( But placed in young women's :-)
10. AND finally...I have decided to get ambitious! Instead of the normal walking of 3miles a day, how about biking five?? Nothing more rejuvenating than an early morning bike ride!
Lastly, Please everyone, stay Swine Flu Free! You won't die, but it destroys your house!!!

That Is Not Just Dirt Under My Nails
You know its really funny being a mom! No matter what your kids do. YOU LOVE THEM!!! Seriously, how can I not love these faces???
They stain the carpet, scratch their sisters name into the the new paint job on the mini-van, POOP CONSTANTLY, and YUCK it gets under your fingernails! (Gross, I know, but you know it happened to you too...) They wake me up all hours of the night, stress me out, even times hurt my feelings. Sometimes...deeply! BUT What could your kids ever do to make you never want them in your life??? Many of you moms understand the UNCONDITIONAL love you have for your kids...right? There is really only ONE thing, I could not get over or accept and move on with, and that is if I BIT and CHEWED my nails! YUCK! That would be totally unforgivable!
Maybe when my kids are moms they will understand that they can forgive their kids for anything, EXCEPT POOPY NAILS! UUGH!
Motherhood is GREAT! I love them ALL!!! :-)
