DAY TEN Writing….

The reason why I decided to this challenge was to work on my writing! Not the idea part but the grammar part! Yes I super-duper uber suck at that part! Not sure why but I never got it!  Like I get the putting all the words together part so they make sense! But it’s all the punctuation stuff,  that whole parts of speech thing (there’s eight of them who knew) and all those get broken down to categories ugah :( then there’s the whole I write just like I talk which can be a whole different post! And yes if you were / are ever lucky enough to have a conversation with me you’ll find I’m a babbling mess of run on sentences and mispronounce words! Oh and please unless I ask or I’m struggling with a word to the point of my head imploding, or exploding do not and I stress do not correct me! Cause you will get a strong cussing out! I will use some very colorful grown up words! Just sayin! See in my head I feel like my speech is very eloquent! HAHAHAH! What comes out of my mouth ….eh not so much! Which brings me back to the whole writing thing! I totally love writing! I just don’t get all the fancy writing rules that go along with it so I’m going to use the next 21 days to go at it on my on using spell check those blue and red squiggly lines that are all over this and this handy dandy  book that already has me really confused! So chill out all you grammar perfect people I’m a learnin and a writing over here in The Berg! So I ain’t tryin to hear all your fancy grammar stuff while I’m trying to get it together! Hey at least I’m trying to be my best stupid! :)

DAY NINE Charlie….

Who has the cutest doggie ever! I mean come on look at this freakin face! Charlie is part of our family, well he’s not on our health insurance and he can’t babysit, drive, and go to the store, do laundry, clean, find the remote, car keys, help with homework, or cut the grass, but he does an awesome job at being cute! We’ve had Charlie for 6 years now. He was a rescue from a couple who couldn’t care for him anymore. At that time we were all in, we already had a 14 year old Jack Russell named Forest so we were really happy to get him a buddy…Okay truth be told we knew he was getting old and we didn’t want to traumatize the kids so we thought getting another dog would make it  not so traumatic… Except Forest would hang on for another year and then we found out we were expecting Kid 3 (story for another day) So back to Charlie. He has to be the most Awesome Dog ever…Well except for that whole big dog smelly thing! I feel like I have that house now! So we invest in a lot of candles and Febreeze! Then there’s the amount of dog hair, I’m surprised he still has hair! But with all that said he really is the BEST DOG EVER!!! And if it wasn’t for me tripping over him tonight on our Golden Retriever color floors, I would have totally had nothing to write about cause I was having a blah day and this hairy Dude Dog made me smile!  

DAY EIGHT…It’s Pumpkin Time!!!

Whoooohooo! Tis the season for pumpkin EVERYTHING! Pumpkin latte, Pumpkin doughnuts, Pumpkin pancakes, Pumpkin cinnamon rolls, Pumpkin muffins, Pumpkin cheesecake, Pumpkin fudge, Pumpkin pie dip (really), Pumpkin pie coffee, (Big Breath) Pumpkin butter, Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, Pumpkin waffles, Pumpkin chili, Pumpkin enchiladas, Pumpkin mac & cheese (yes that’s a thing!) Pumpkin & kale lasagna… For reals! Pumpkin! Pumpkin! Pumpkin! There’s so much Pumpkin stuff out there, I actually thought I liked pumpkin stuff…Well I’m going to let you in on a little secret…I really don’t like pumpkin! It’s GROSS! So when I spent the day making Pumpkin muffins with not just cream cheese frosting but fancy mascarpone cheese frosting, (in my head it seem healthier). And they were fancy muffins because it’s a MARTHA recipe and they were called Pumpkin muffins with fancy cheese frosting instead of cupcakes with cream cheese frosting! Whatever! Yuck to it all! Although there was this one time I was at the Tuckahoe Brewing Company and I had a Pumpkin beer that was quite delightful! I think it’s safe to say in my opinion that was the bestest Pumpkin Beer ever! A party for the taste buds! Just not feeling the 2 million other ways people enjoy pumpkin! 

DAY SEVEN Car Talkin….

Cause I have awesome friends who let me borrow stuff! I had to return that awesome object my awesome friend let me borrow! I decided to bring Kid 3 along for the ride! So I decided to ask Kid 3 how his day went…I was on green all day Mommy! See I’m extra good! Hey did you know the days are going by really fast? (Yes because I’m old!) We went outside and guess what Mommy? We were outside for 5 seconds! I was on the bus today for guess how long? 5 seconds the whole day was sooooooo fast! Whoa mommy it’s pretty here! You should take a picture of the sun and the water with the trees because Nana would really like that! Daddy said he would take me fishing Mommy stop right here to take the picture for Nana…Is this another place like another state Mommy? I wish we live here… (5 minutes from our house) You know what Mommy when can we go fishing? Should we fish on the pier? Or should we fish off a boat I think we should fish off a boat! Mommy you can catch more fish if its from a boat! Did you know that? When we get home can we watch Dino Dan (a show about a kid who thinks he sees dinosaurs everywhere…) what’s your favorite dinosaur Mommy? You know what my favorite dinosaur is Mommy?  My favorite dinosaur is a Dromaeosaurs! (He said it too!) Do you know what he eats? He’s a meat eater and he eats bacon! Hmmmmm bacon…. A dinosaur that eats bacon! I used to worry about this guy not talking…. I think he’s good!

Part of my face!

DAY 6 Mondays!

I have a love hate relationship with Mondays! Love part, I love beginnings, the whole starting over fresh thing exuberating . I also love school year Monday’s ahhhh….nothing like watching those little cherubs getting on that big ole yellow bus! (Sorry teacher friends) I also love Mondays cause in the evening I get to hang out with some pretty awesome ladies! You know trying to catch some spirit and figure it all out. Then there’s the menu always on the ball, crockpot Monday…Wednesday …and Thursday! Tuesday is taco night, Friday is make your own pizza, and Saturday is leftovers or sandwiches. Sundays I try to make it a sit down dinner which means a dinner the kids won’t eat! Now here’s what I hate about Mondays, their hectic because your starting over fresh…which means crazy list…rushing to get the cherubs on the bus, cause you don’t want to drive them to school, cause you don’t to go for a run and clean before you get to work! Then you go on your run which you took you a lot longer than you anticipated cause you think your this elite runner and notice the morning is over you still haven’t edited one picture, glaze any jewelry, and you still have to clean the bathrooms…oh wait Kid 2 football uniform wasn't washed.. Oh its 1 pm and you were supposed to make some crockpot something because you have football, group, homework… So what happens on some Mondays after you yell at everyone in the picture (including the dog he’s under the table) oh and you expect them to smile because you have to write something happy and funny? You kind of just throw in the towel for the day and watch a movie…oh and the cheesy mess in the crockpot is lasagna, they actually ate it … I think I was in the room sulking.

DAY FIVE are you ready for some football?

Yes Kid 2 plays Pee Wee football and Kid 3 plays flag! Now if you ask kid 2 what position he plays he’ll look at you as though your speaking another language, from another planet, and answers, “I play football” with a huge smile! He has no clue oh and neither do I! I’m the annoying mom at most of the games looking desperately for anyone who dares looking in my direction and locks eyes so I can talk their ear off about the endless goings on in my head! Because like Kid 2 I don’t get it either like why do they keep stopping the clock and why does 3 minutes actually mean you may still have an hour… So today their dad declare it watching the Eagles Play Day! Well within the first 15 minutes I totally interest 5 minutes after Kid 2! So who’s left? The Hubs and his twin… Kid 3! Oh and that chair…..saving the story of the chair for another day… Oh and by the way the Eagles won…I think? And Kid didn’t stick around either…maybe it’s the chair….

Day FOUR …Minecraft

Just like I promise! What do you want to know? I’ll tell you what I know so far…Hey guys! (Kid 2 and Kid 3) tell me about this dated looking game (by dated looking it looks like something I had to type in on my commodore 64) J Well mommy sometimes you build house’s…find villages…or you could go in the jungle or desert…Why would I want to do that? Because there’s valuables there! OH! Okay so then there are zombies and you hit them…why do I want to hit them? MommmmmmY cause they are going to eat you! Look here’s a poodle! What?! A poodle? No mommy a puddle!!! Huh a poodle puddle?!! Noooooooo!!!!! MOMMY!!!!!! A PORTHOLE!!!! Oh okay I haven’t brushed up on my fiveyearoldish (yes that is a language). So what are portholes for? For getting zombies who have supplies that you need! Wait so there’s no Shoprite or Target on this Minecraft place? WHAT?! No Mommy! UGH! So that’s my explanation on Minecraft folks! Did you understand? Did it make sense? I know it doesn't cause I had to listen to two children explain this to me at the same time! I still have no idea what it is or how to play and why you need a blue diamond sword to take out the Zombies in the poodle-puddle portholes!

DAY THREE…Ah Duh Mommy!

Hello Captain Obvious! Okay Kid 3 didn’t call me that but he may as well…Kid 3 was super excited or shall I say uber excited when he got off the bus today….well the other day. (it was oct 1^st)  Dude did you like win the lottery? He was like no, what’s that? Never mind little dude! So what did you get? I…got…a…B-Force ticket! So how do you get one of those? Well he said you get one of those when you’re really good! Oh so why did you get one Kid 3? Ahhhhh cause I was good mommy (captain obvious). Oh well who gave you the ticket? You know that lady that sings and play the piano you know she plays Animal Action? The music teacher! So why did she give it to you? Cause I was the only one looking at her! Huh so they give B-force Tickets just for looking at people? Nooooooo mommy for looking at them and being really good! I think Kid 3 is super annoyed with me and all my questions! J Look I know what a B-Force ticket is but I have 28 more days of writing to do for this challenge so looks like you’ll get to know The Funky Bunch pretty good! Tomorrow maybe will tackle the many different levels of Minecraft!

Yeah this is how he tells stories!

Day Two School Picture Day!

Today was school picture day! I’ve always hated picture day! My mom would make me wear some ridiculous polyester culotte pants and a turtle neck top! Like did she really think it was a good idea to squeeze this big head through a turtle neck! Oh and my hair…Always an issue either one super tight bun on top of my head or two pigtails or the dreaded ponytail on top and ponytail on the bottom style…I wasn’t allowed to wear my hair down till I was in high school! (Another post) And my smile I was that awkward kid who’s adult front teeth were the only teeth that came in till like my sophomore year in high school! Imagine that look! (and you’ll have to do just that cause I ain’t sharin that picture!) In case you haven’t notice I have the ability to show every single tooth in my mouth when I smile! Ugh! So picture day for my own kids I just keep it really simple 90% of the I buy the smallest package  cause I don’t hang them anyway  do to my profession of takin my own pictures. J I just always hated the grayish, blueish, suckyish background. Although these days they have the fancy backgrounds for an additional $20 bucks! So yes the children that looked like orphans you may have seen today are mine…the mom that hates culotte pant, turtle neck, bun too tight picture day!   

Day one....The Funky Bunch

Well let me start off by introducing you to my funky bunch! And by funky bunch…I’m not talkin about that fine Calvin Klein wearin, good vibration singin Marky Mark! Hmmmm nothing said the 90’s like a signin Walberg….Now they (Walbergs) bring me a different kind of happiness…Burgers! But that’s a whole different post we’ll save for another day. Today I’m introducing my Funky bunch! Oh they are just as fine as THAT FUNKY BUNCH ☺ but my funky bunch is well, just that funky!!! And yes if you have this much testosterone in your house you got a FUNKY BUNCH TOO! So I guess we should get this party started with me the wife and mom and the person you probably won’t see in the next 31 days because I’m going to be photographing, writing, cleaning, cooking, and looking very unkempt ☺ Next The Hub’s, yes he loves to sing and guess what, he owns a few pairs of Calvin Klein’s…along with some Fruit of the Loom but don’t get it twisted cause we’ve had some good vibrations throughout the years….which brings me Kid 1! Yea that was the kid I didn’t yell at or say bad words around, he wasn’t allowed to watch T.V., no chocolate till he was 2, learn to read by age 3, knew what he wanted to do when he grew up by age 4 (something about saving tree and animals so we can’t use plastic bags or bleach). Pretty fluent in French let’s just say he can call me some pretty nasty names and I’ll think he’s being nice! Then there’s Kid 2….My twin well,... with the exception he’s a boy, oh and he’s very nice….like I was nice…..long ago! He loves everyone! Always has a kind word, but he can throw the occasional EYE but no matter what he…loves….his…..MOMMY!!!!! Yup that’s the one I think is going to take care of me! Then there’s Surprise Kid 3!!!!.... When I say surprise yea he was a total surprise like I thought I was going through menopause surprise?!!!! This Joker shows up when his mommy is 40!!!!! 2 times in your life you don’t want to tell your parents your pregnant, one is when your 15, and 2 when your 40! This little dude is proof old people shouldn’t have kids! He has wayyyyyyy to much energy! When his teacher said, "no he’s really good he just has a lot of energy a lot of energy", ….did I mention I keep this kid extra healthy??... Cause this dude ain’t missin a day ☺
