7 Facts

1. Tell 7 things about yourself
2. Pass it along to 15 other bloggers – Although I am NOT good at this so I think I am going to skip this BUT if you want to comment on this post with YOUR blog I will follow back and leave a comment on yours!

So  are we ready my pimptastic friends? lol

1. I have a very odd sense of humor and my vocabulary consists of words such as: "pimp" as in "that is so pimp!" lol "Homosexual" as in "Yes my phone is being homosexual" (I just decided one day to extend the term gay haha) "Epic".. Speaks for itself. I am also a very sweet kind friend who tells all my friends/family they are hookers, sluts, whores and bitches lol My friends know they are loved!!!

2. I am obsessed with Vampires! I have been since I was probably 10? I watched Blade more times I can count. I remember telling my dad when I grew up I was going to get the vampire symbol tattoo on the back of my neck like in the movie lol

3. One of my HUGE dreams is to wear a huge flowy princess dress and be released in a huge castle to run around all day pretending like I'm a princess running away from thieves and vampires lol Hey, vampires can chase princesses.. Let me live the dream damn it!! lol


4. I have a girl crush on Emma Stone. She is freakin gorgeous and funny as hell. I LOVE HER. I think she would be amazing to meet in person!


5.  "Rendan took Claire’s hand and pulled her into his arms where he softly whispered back, “I have lived a lonely life under the moon, I have found no other passion in this sunless life than in my mortal existence, that is until I found you my Claire. I have searched the world over for a reason worth living and I’ll be damned if I must spend one moonlit night without you by my side.” -- A random part from my vampire/romance book which is ALMOST DONE! I'm so excited!

6. I have dyed my hair every natural color except gray. I had pink highlights recently for the first time. My natural color is a dark blonde/light brown. I was a blonde blonde little girl and sadly grew up and my hair began turning a watered out poop color lol I began dying my hair when I was 17? Blonde, brown, red, black (that was accidental lol) After Parker was born I decided to try and get back to my natural color because the bleaching was killing my hair and curls so thus is my hair color now. My roots have grown out 3 or so inches and its alot lighter than I rememeber lol I am very happy to not have to touch up every 4 weeks (my hair grows very fast)


7. I live in a tiny hick town (pop. 1500? Maybe?) There isnt crap here but I LOVE IT. Our fast food consists of Sonic, Mazzios and Subway and we were doing good when we got the last two. Sonic is our only drive thru. You have to drive 30 minutes to get anywhere. Its just country enough to be perfect :) I don't have any close neighbors (course I do live on a huge ass mountain of a hill that I HATE HATE HATE in winter cause if it snows we're screwed. If it snows this winter there will be many posts about my hatred of it lol) but we are just outside town if we need something from the grocery store. I would really HATE having to move to a big city, it would depress me greatly. I love the fields and the farms and the woods. I can't wait til my boys are older and we can go build forts and climb trees together! :)

Random Motherly Thoughts

I feel like my schedule is so out of whack, I don't know whether I'm coming or going which is hilarious because I hardly ever leave the house lol
I love being a stay at home mom more than anything.
My mom stayed home with us and homeschooled us so I've spent my whole life with my ultimate dream of being a stay at home mom.
I am so thankful I can stay home with my silly little boys :)

I am so use to boys I am a little nervous about if I had a girl. I guess she'd just be a little tom boy, she would have to be a tough little thing to survive her brothers lol I asked Cody the other day if we could handle three boys (as I was having a heart attack imagining the damage three boys could do and how much they'd eat as teenagers YIKES) He just looked at me, smiled and said we could do it.
If we did indeed have a girl (I am beginning to believe it will never happen. I only make boys apparently lol) I'd have to change my blog name since it would no longer be Sammi and the boys. Hmm...
If we don't have a accident surprise before next summer then we plan on trying to get pregnant next July because for some reason I am obsessed with having a baby in April.
It's my birth month and so it's my favorite month of the year haha
I was THIS close to having an April baby but nooooo he came days before.
With my luck I'll have a baby on like May 1st oh I'd be mad! lol
Okay not really I'd be happy either way but of course my crazy inside thoughts will be hoping for an April baby. We can share the awesome month of April together! lol

I saw a picture of two little boys the other day and I had a mini heart attack because I can't seem to comprehend Parker walking and having two kids playing together. I am thrilled for them to be able to play together but I'm sad they are growing up so fast.

Evan and I are having a Ice Age marathon today! We've watched 2 and are now watching 3. Yes we skipped the first one because we watched it the other day lol I love cartoons on a very deep level lol
I'm a big kid what can I say?

I would 9 times out of 10 rather buy a cartoon DVD than any other movie. I think it's because I know I will get my money's worth out of it.
I watch cartoons even if the boys are sleeping lol
Next on my to buy list
1. Finding Nemo
2. The Incredibles


**Newsflash: I JUST realized the other day that they do not make cartoons anymore!!! Everything is Pixar. lol I know I am late in realizing this but thats beside the point**

I have decided Disney cannot make a bad cartoon, I have bought many Disney movies without watching them mainly because I know if I don't like it at least the boys would.
Movies I bought before I watched:
The Princess and the Frog <3
Despicable Me
Rango
How To Train Your Dragon
Ice Age 2 & 3
Tangled <3

And I love every single movie! lol (I know they aren't all Disney but you get the idea)

lol soo this was a long random post about children, my dire need for an April baby and cartoons lol Hope you enjoyed it.
This is Sammi, signing out.
Stay Classy San Diego
LOL

I Am Thankful

Since I will be running around like a chicken with my head cut off I decided to say my thanks today :)

"Parker stop eating the curtains!!"

Ooohh my children lol anyway I am thankful for my amazing life.

For my wonderful retarded husband (who is currently singing his own background music as he plays skyrim lol dork) I am thankful he puts up with all of my insane lameness and that he loves me so much. He is the love of my life, he calms me down when I'm upset, cheers me up when I am sad and constantly makes me laugh <3

For my big boy Evan, even though he pushes me to my limit daily and I feel like strangling him at times. I love the little person he is turning into and his ever growing curiousity.

For my chunky monkey Parker, he is getting so big I hate it! I am thankful I don't have to miss any stage of his sweet wonderful little life

For my amazing wonderful family, I could not get through a single day without them!

My brother Alex and his girlfriend(my eventual sister-in-law) Kaity ;)

                                             My sister Kendra and her husband Justin

                                                             My amazing parents

I am thankful for my best friend Laura, I would be lost without her. I truly think no one else on the planet completely understands me as well as she does. We each have half of the same brain, together we make one whole crazy person! :) I would die without you! The dead kind of die lol I love you Laura!

Thank you Lord for blessing my life with amazing friends and family.

Bad Blogger

So I have been very neglectful of my blog.
After a phone call, lots of yelling, crying and begging me to come back I told my blog I'd get back on lol
I have become well.... lazy and attempting to really focus on my book which is going fabulously!! I am within grasp of the ending, I am thrilled! Next task will be finding a publisher and sending off a manuscript with fingers crossed lol
I know it is a long shot to expect to get it published but it is a wonderful dream. I will have accomplished all (except having a girl) of my dreams if it happens! lol
Either way I am going to get at least one copy made into a book through some website, not sure what yet lol so I can have a copy of my book! :D hurray! lol I'll probably need a couple copies though because I have like five friends who all want to read it when Im done lol
This isn't a really epic post which saddens me slightly, I've lost my game.
But it is 1:17 in the morning and I am feeling like I'm half asleep so I'm probably doing pretty good!
So here is a cute picture to make up for the lameness!!

Evan sharing his drink with Parker :) hehe they are so stinkin cute!

So dear blog, I will try to make more time for you.
Please dont call me back crying it was annoying
and there were alot of computer sounding beeps which just confused the hell out of me.
You need to understand my book is important to me too so if you love me you will give me my space
and if I love you I will come back to you
sound good?

lol okay time for bed!

oh P.S. Parker is 8 months old today! :) He is such a big boy!

I'm Married To A Nerd

Welcome to my livingroom.

This is the Skyrim party.

4 TVS.
4 Nerdy boys.
1 Livingroom.
All night long.
The male version of a sleep over.


I had planned on posting this on
11-11-11
which was the release date for Skyrim and it is just pretty cool but obviously that didnt work out.

(I would also like to know how many people got married yesterday? I bet it was alot lol)

My brothers girlfriend and I ended up running to my sisters house so I could show her embarrassing videos of my brother dressed as a girl (lol he was like 11) Then we came home and Parker had a 102.3 temperature :( Poor lil man!!

So after tylenol and a cold wash cloth for about half an hour his temperature is under 100 :) Lets hope we can keep it down. I hate it when my babies are sick!


Naughty Boy Act of the Day:
Act #1. This is butt faces weekend and in a stressed out rush I attempted to get Evan's bag packed, get him dressed and finish getting myself dressed. So I'm on the phone with my husband who isn't home from town and I'm annoyed cause I hate running late. So I turn around and see that the boy I had JUST dressed had hopped into the empty bathtub and found a little container that was full of water and soaked his jeans. Yeah.... The only pair of jeans that fit him good at the moment. So needless to say he wore highwaters lol

Act #2. I am brushing my teeth before running Evan to his dads when I hear Parker crying. I look into the livingroom and see Parker (who is on the floor in his bumbo seat) crying because Evan is stepping on his foot. As soon as Evan saw me looking he stepped off. Yeah he got his little butt spanked! After he was made to sit there until mom was done brushing her teeth I had him give bubby kisses and then everything was alright again lol Good grief! lol

He Got It From His Mama

I've come to the realization that my son Parker has not only been grumpy/teething lately but he has a temper.
Yeah... The seven month old has a temper..
Definitely not good..

He is going through a whiney-I-wanna-be-held-or-I-scream-and-throw-a-fit thing.
My first kid was NEVER like this.
Evan was (and is still) the most mellow child ever, he was perfectly content to just sit in his bouncer and watch everyone.
I orginally thought Parker was just going through a fussy stage but now am under the impression that this one is going to get in more trouble than his older brother.
I would love to blame this on his father since he is Cody's mini-me but I am afraid this is from me, well more of baby me.

My parents told me when I was his age I would throw fits and they had to let me cry it out. I apparently wouldn't calm down I'd just get furious and throw a fit so they would have to spank me and then I'd cry for real and then go to sleep. I was also the newborn they had to go all out to keep awake during the day (cold wash cloths) because I had my days and nights backwards. (Luckily they only had to do the torture of the wash cloths for one day and then I was on the right schedule lol)

Apparently I wasn't a very good baby lol

So yeah I think he probably got his baby temper from me.
He is killing mom.

I've spent so much time checking him (clean diaper, fed, not too warm) and then letting him cry it out, always being on the verge of ripping my hair out until he calms himself down.
I am very happy he fast asleep now, most wonderful silence ever.
The first cry you hear when the child wakes up is like hearing the world crashing down in your house lol
I hate being so tired, I would like to request some amazing crack energy pills please! lol


On a nerdy note my 18 year old brother and my husband are having a male sleep over because at midnight tonight Skyrim is released. They will be at Game Stop waiting for the game so they can rush home and spend the ENTIRE night living the dream playing the much (over a year) anticipated video game. Tomorrow is the 2nd male sleep over.
Can we hear a nomination for Best Wife of the year? haha
My brothers girlfriend and Laura are coming over to have girl time so it will be lots of fun! :)

My Day With Lara Croft

Yesterday my husband went and traded in his Xbox360 for a Play Station 3.
A life changing ordeal in this household lol
I was thrilled because I got to download Tomb Raider 2 for the PS1
It is so old and has horrible graphics but I LOVE IT!

It was the first video game I ever played (that and Tekken 4)
We never got past the first couple levels but it holds such great memories for me!!

SO...
I wasted my entire day
(as in I skipped my nap)
to play Tomb Raider!

It was amazing but now I am about ready to pass out and die.. Like the dead kind of die. lol


Poor Parker isn't feeling well, he has been super grumpy. I think he is hitting a growth spurt and is extra hungry, he ate a ton of rice cereal. I tried mixing breast milk, a little rice cereal in with some baby food hoping to ease him into it.
Yeah...
I wish I would have gotten that on camera.
After every single bite his whole body would flinch and he'd make a pucker like he had taken a bite of a lemon. It was insanely cute  :)
Well I think it is time for a brownie and some milk and bed time!

Villian Child of Mine

I would like to tell you a story about the villianous personalities of the creature that is my son.

Claw of Fury
This horrible monster has aquired a disturbing interest in faces but especially his mothers. It does not matter if you are in the middle of a drink or conversation when he feels the need to look deep into your eyes the claws attack and sink deep within the soft flesh of your face. He gazes at each facial feature before releasing his claws only to sink them back in to get a different angle.

Snatcher
This personality just appeared last night during our family pictures. Everything would be going smoothly and then the Snatcher felt mommy was too happy so in a violent grab and yank motion he rips out a fistful of hair. Don't even think about trying to pry those tiny fingers open, thats near impossible since he has fingers of steel.

Okay so those are the only personalities I can think of that the creature has.

Random story of the day:
So last night I am standing in front of the mirror brushing my teeth when I see my husband making his way through the bedroom and I notice he has a deck of his cards.
A small alarm began going off in my head
I quickly ran over and took my last chance to go pee before my husband took his sweet time. He is the slowest person ever.
He just stared at me and said "Really?? You whore!" Lol
I laughed and said It was either run or wait thirty minutes to pee!
He just smiled and shook his head and called me a whore again haha


This is the delicious soup I made for lunch today!!

Its spicy sausage soup!! I could eat this meal everyday for the rest of my life lol I am not even kidding.
Here is the reciepe:
1 kilbasa sausage
2 cans red kidney beans
1 can red beans
1 can tomato sauce
1 can rotel (hot or original)
Throw it all in a pot and heat it up and your done!!
You can actually use any kind of beans you like and I add a little water to make it more soupy but yeah...
It is a life changing soup.
LIFE CHANGING!! lol

Curse You Daylight Savings Time

Today was picture day! I was so excited as I lay down to go to sleep last night until my husband informs me he gets off work an hour later than I thought.
panic attack begins
So I begin thinking of how I'll need to call my sister in the morning and let her know we'll need to back the plans up just an hour and then it hits me.
Daylight saving time was last night which means it would get darker earlier.
heart attack followed by death


So this morning I got up and informed my sister of the change. No big deal.
Except that it is cloudy and windy as crap.
I am stressing and having a mental break down that it will be too dark by the time we get to my sisters for pictures.

After an early lunch I put the boys down for a nap.
Both were asleep within ten minutes.
Everything is going smoothly.
Too smoothly.
So I take a nap as well hoping to keep from stressing myself into a mental state where I need medication..
Or wait.. Maybe that is a good idea???
Anyway after naps I get up and shower and start fixing the cracked out frizz which is my hair, I get the boys up and get them dressed and we are all ready to walk out the door.
Just waiting on dad.
Yeeah...
He gets home and hops in the shower (I will give him this, it was one of his fastest showers lol) and scrambles around trying to find his clothes and I am about ready to begin hyperventilating as the clock ticks the quickly fading sunlight away.
We FINALLY get in the car and are on our way and I see he hasnt shaven.
I try my best to just keep my mouth shut because everytime I opened it I said something mean.

We ended up having enough daylight and the pictures turned out great! :)

But yes the moral of this story is I did all that stressing and almost ended up in a mental institution for nothing. I need to remember not worry so much.
Yeah.... like that'll ever happen.

Down With Dora

I am a strict Dora the Explorer hater. Level Five.
Pretty hard core.
My kids can love Franklin, Little Bear, Spongebob (heck I do) or whatever but I've always said no Dora.
Well today I had to do some cleaning up before the In-Laws came over for a visit and so I was trying to find something exciting for Evan on netflix and Dora was the only exciting thing.
So I turned it on for the boy and I began cleaning around the house trying terribly hard to ignore the
"do do Dora do do Dora
Swiper no swiping Swiper no Swiping
I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map"

Some little blue bird that Dora was saving kept saying "mama" and so my son comes running into the kitchen saying "mama mama!"
Evan is a smart little boy and he jabbers alot but just hasn't got the hang of talking yet and that boy has NEVER been a fan of the word "mama" so whenever he does say it I am always super excited!!

Tomorrow my sister is taking our family pictures and I had a dress rehersal with the boys making sure all of there clothes fit and this is a preview of Parker's outfit :)

He is so stinkin cute! I can't believe how big he is getting.
I will post pictures soon! :)

For The Love Of Korn

I resigned myself to my sleeping chamber around midnight and after an hour of tossing and turning I finally fell asleep only to be woken a few hours later by a crying baby. I laid there hoping he would fall back asleep, I knew it had to be a half hour before I had to wake up and get ready for a doctors appointment. When I could no longer hope he would cease his wailing I groggily checked my phone and to my relief saw it was only 3AM. So I slowly crawled out of bed and began making my wobbly way towards the other side of the house. As I reached the hallway I see the two year old's door is wide open and the light is on, I look in and there he is playing away at 3 in the frickin morning. He plays innocent and says a sweet "Hi." when he sees me.
HA nice try buddy
I toss his pillow on his bed and snap that it's too early to be awake and to go back to sleep. He hops into his bed and covers up seeing his fun filled early morning adventure had come to an end.
I close his door and continue down the hall to the whining drool monsters room, I pick him up and explain that he is fed, his diaper is dry and that he needs to get over it and go back to sleep cause mommy is exhausted and he isn't gonna be held all night.
After a few pats on the back I lay him back down, give him his pacifier, turn on his mobile and say "Gnight!"
I make my way through the dark house and crawl back into my warm bed next to my passed out husband who had "accidentally" taken over my side of the bed while I was gone.

Holy crap... My life just flashed before my eyes!! My husband had me "take over" for him on his Gears of War 3 video game while he made a bowl of food. I tried and failed miserably to kill the hideous monster enemy. Needless to say I died a couple times.. If the shooting game doesn't auto-aim I hate it. Alright back to my story!

6 AM rolls around and I get up, shower and get all ready to leave. I take Evan down to Grandma's house (Parker has a runny nose so he stayed home with dad) so they can play and destroy her house with a million toys. My mom kindly lends me her car to drive since our van is rather crappy  old.. (Dont want the van to hear and for it to die on me.. That is the last thing I need!) So I'm driving to Joplin and my mothers amazing car has Sirus XM or whatever, the most amazing thing ever.
So I flip that baby back and forth from Alt Nation and the Octane.
I'm almost to the doctors office by this point and a new Korn song comes on which of course I turn up and jam to.
My mother always said satan sung backup for my music haha
I love jamming out in the car to some hard rock! Before I got out of the car I remembered not too long after I first started listening to Korn my sister made up and recorded a song on the computer. It was pretty hilarious and I thought I would share it. I have not heard this song in probably six years but it will forever be burned into my memory.

"Cornnnnnn, it comes in my dreams.
CORN I start to dreaming corn.
CORN it comes in the middle of the night, corn its so frightening.
If I dont eat it, it will eat you.
dun nu nu nu eat you.
du nu nu nu NA NA NA!!!
corn is comes in my dreams and wants to crave me
until I die.
die, die, die, die, die, die, DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!
corn it comes in them middle of the night!
It wants to crave me until I DIE.."

As I wrote this I suddenly realized how demented my family was at such a young age lol We always had a strange sense of humor and death usually was involved.
After my super short doctors appointment thanks to a mix up which I wasnt too upset about cause it kept my lady parts unviolated lol I ran by walmart on the way home and as I got out of the car I dropped my entire purse upside down into the ground.
"Graceful Samantha"
I literally said that out loud. Glad no one was around to hear me.
So the moral of this story is always sing to Korn when it comes on the radio or the Corn song will pop into the back of your mind and death is soon to follow. That and try and not be as clumsy as me.
THE NED
lmao.. ahem lets try this again.
THE END.

Death by Random

Netflix is on my hate list tonight..

I'm just sitting here trying to watch a good wholesome movie about death lol (Death Becomes Her) and the mother effing internet link (which I am blaming on Netflix) keeps stopping and trying to reconnect. I am furiously disappointed!
STAGGERINGLY.
(LOL that was a Rupert Grint quote from the movie "Wild Target")
Oh how I love him.
Red heads are ooooooooh so sexy..
I fell madly in love with Rupert Grint from his role as Ron Weasley in Harry Potter. Oh how our love has blossomed over the years. I've had my fantasies of running away and marrying him and having ginger headed children.
But alas...
My dream to marry the gorgeous, hilarious, sweet red headed man of my dreams never came true..
Speaking of redheads I love Irish accents.
If I had a friend who had an Irish accent I would have them talk nonstop!!
My husband can fake an Irish accent pretty well and OH the conversations we have.
His name is McFeely and he tells me of his home land back in Ireland and of his mates at the pub and how he loves me dearly. When I ask why I haven't seen him in awhile he says "Oh love, I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you."
So I guess even though he isnt my red headed dream he is my Irish man :)

On another note I made delicious crock pot chicken enchilladas today! They were so yummy!
I am now typing with one hand because my two year old grabbed my right hand and wanted me to rub his back while he laid on the couch next to me playing with his toy cars. Haha silly little boy.
This has been quite the random post! I hope it kept you entertained! lol

The Night from Hell

Last night was a long stressful night. The seven month old or "grumpy butt" as I liked to call him was either teething or felt that his mama had it too easy and wanted to raise some hell. He cried and cried and then cried some more. He didn't want to lay down, he was hot, he didn't want his bouncer, only being held made it all better.
What a drama king huh?
So I'd hold him for a little while then try it all again. Clean diaper, full tummy, fan to keep him cool. Nope nothing.
This went on for hours.
It was after midnight before he finally had cried himself almost out. (Just enough whining that would keep me awake) I set an alarm to check on him at one and then I turned off the monitor and tried to get a little sleep.
**Trueblood theme song alarm goes off at one AM**
Clicked on the monitor and Parker is fast asleep thank goodness, it seems as though the worst of the night is over right?
WRONG.
At 4:30 I wake up with a horrible stomach ache and was extremely nauseous, at 5 I got out of bed and resigned myself to the couch (with a bottle of water and a bag of saltine crackers) while my husband got up and got ready for work. By the time 6:30 rolled around the vice grip had released my stomach but the nausea persisted. I went back to bed and slept til 8:30 when I got up with my boys and I made them breakfast and I went on with my day.
I remembered having this crappy stomach thing yesterday morning as well but today was much worse and I STILL feel all icky.
No fun what so ever.
Let us take a moment to pray that Parker goes to sleep easily tonight and that my horrible incident of terror does not repeat it self lol
