So if you've been following this blog (which I know you have), you know that Mr. Cranky Pants and I have had our ups and downs lately, well actually just a lot of downs. I am happy to report though, that since the fight with Mr. Idiot, Mr. Cranky Pants and I have not had any more super nova melt downs.
Insert huge sigh of relief here!
I know it seems a like a small thing, but it's monumental to me and I am so thankful that that rough ride is over. In fact, since getting into it with Mr. Idiot, Mr. Cranky Pants and I have been that much closer, that much more supportive, and that much more loving. It's wonderful.
It's like our honeymoon phase all over again.
There's flowers and little birds everywhere. Ok, well not really, but it's been pretty darn awesome. And maybe that's the point. Every relationship needs to go through its ups and downs, especially the downs, in order to truly appreciate what you have.
I mean don't get me wrong. I love and appreicate Mr. Cranky Pants so much, but since we've gone through and over our obstacles, it's just so much more real, so much easier to put my finger on, just so.much.more. And I love it.
So today is a short post, and more griping about the Little Monster, my undone projects, my projects in progress, and life in general later. I'll just leave you with the lyrics to these songs... perfect for my feelings about Mr. Cranky Pants lately. Also on my playlist, Hey There Delilah, 1234, Chasing Pavements, Lucky, My Funny Valentine, Til There Was You.....
MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE (originally written by Bob Dylan, but check out Adele's version)
When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong
I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet
I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
HALO (by Beyonce, I know know, it's Beyonce)
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again
Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your faceBaby
I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

What We Lose When Time Flies.........
My Goodness and my goodness! The last two weeks have been so intense, it's left me without any time to sit down and vent, er, ahem, I mean blog. Things have just been coming at me at left and right, and once I wrangle one item, another one popped up just a quick!
Here is the Reader's Digest recap of my past two weeks:
1. Get the Little Monster's teeth fixed
2. Have Mrs. S and family plus my in-laws over for the weekend
3. Recooperate from the weekend
4. Pull my hair out trying to get Mrs. S b-day suprise finished on time
5. Fight with Mr. Cranky Pants
6. Arrange a Girl's Nite Out (GNO) for me and Mrs. S
7. Fight with Mr. Cranky Pants
8. Go crazy at work
9. Fight with Mr. Cranky Pants
10. Have a humongous blow-out with my dad, Mr. Idiot
11. Have a humongous blow-out with Mr. Cranky Pants about the blow-out with Mr. Idiot
12. Realize that the Little Monster somehow lost one her $190 teeth (tooths, however you say it)
13. Have a mini melt down because of said missing tooth and numbers 10 and 11
14. Finished Mrs. S b-day present
15. Planned activities for the kiddios to do with their daddies while Mrs. S and I ran away to the circus, er, ahem had GNO.
16. Finally had GNO with Mrs. S, and we'll have to do it again, and soon!
17. Attempted to make up with Mr. Idiot, with minimal success
18. Got into another huge fight with Mr. Cranky Pants at his parent's home
19. Made up with Mr. Cranky Pants
20. Updating my blog..........
PHEW, are you as exhuasted as I am from reading this list?! It's been intense. Really intense. But things seem to be straightening themselves out now, but it's a miracle that I made it this far. It has just been two weeks that has taken everything I've had emotionally, and mentally to make it through. And with any trying time in your life, I have lost things, and gained things, made difficult decsions, and easy ones. I'm sure the insight of the past events won't even truly hit me until years from now, but boy oh boy, do I ever feel years older.
Things I've lost.... respect. I love Mr. Idiot, more than I should, more than I need to, and I honor him and my mother everyday, all the time. That said, I do not respect him anymore. This is a monumental thing for me. I realized I could finally separate the two. I have lost all respect for Mr. Idiot because of the things he's done to me and my family (Mr. Cranky Pants and the Little Monster). I thought that part of honoring your parents was respecting them no matter what, but that's not the case. Honoring your parents is loving them no matter what, respect is a two way street. I'm tired of giving and never getting. I mean a post about Mr. Idiot is really another blog in and of itself, so let's just leave it at that!
Things I've gained.... humility. With a stronger sense of who I am, and not being chained down by certain emotional bonds, I overstepped my boundaries with Mr. Cranky Pants. I made an inappropriate comment about a heated topic, and all hell just broke loose. I wasn't willing to give in and neither was he, and it was pretty ridiculously stupid. Pride is a terrible thing when used the wrong way.... I finally saw the hurtfulness in what I said, and have repented, and learned that a little humility goes a very long way.................
Ok, so I don't want this post to be a total downer........ let's skip ahead to some of the more fun things I've done.
GNO---> AWESOME. It was totally the best pick me up ever! Mrs. S and I just had mani/pedi's and dinner, then went back to my house to chat it up, all night! hahahah, also we had drinks, and so it was pretty much an all around rocking night. Maybe next time we'll shut up enough to watch a movie or do a craft hahahaha.......... but I doubt it. The next day I played dress-up with Mrs. S and my clothes that don't fit my fat ass anymore hahaha, to help her get ready to go to a wedding later that day. Let me just say that Mrs. S turned out simply stunning, and I know she had a great time. Mrs. S also gave me a fabulous hair cut... all in all an stellar weekend!
And the beginning of this week has been hard, but I'm not going to dwell on that or the Little Monster's missing tooth. No sir, not me. Instead, I am going to plan my next GNO, and go home and have a drink!
The biggest thing we lose when time flies is ourselves. Mommy needs a time out and a maragarita.

A Hodge Podge Really
So, it took me a week to get to my second post... tsk tsk tsk. Well, it's been a very busy week, and as it comes to a close I am doing mental leaps for joy!
I am EXHAUSTED. Really truly just tired. The past few weeks have been action packed, filled to the gills, not a spare moment anywhere. I am looking forward to a long weekend where I just sit on my behind and do nothing. Well almost nothing.
I do need to get the house in order, catch up on laundry, mop the floor, reorganize our family room, clean out the bedroom, fix the dog's bed (thank you Pio Pico for chewing it up), go grocery shopping, and so on and so forth. Phew! But I am planning on doing all that junk tomorrow, and leave my Sunday and Monday wide open........ for blissful nothingness.
I haven't even gotten to my projects for this week. SIGH. I know, I need to get on it! But I've been too tired to get to it after the Little Monster goes to bed. Just one thing after the other you know.
Plus, in our continued growth, Mr. Cranky Pants and I decided to keep the fighting spirit alive the rest of the week as well. (Eyeroll please........) So, I am hoping that we can keep civil the rest of the weekend!
I am in desparate need of a GNO (Girl's Night Out) where all sorts of madness and tomfoolery will take place. I need shed Mr. Cranky Pants and the Little Monster and just let loose! So, if you know of a great GNO place, and would like to partake, let me know! I'll be there with bells on!
In my observation and report analysis of this week, I've come to the conclusion that it takes a loooooooonnnnnnnngggggggggg time to grow up. Seriously, to be a mature adult, who can make rational level headed decisions, to keep your emotions in check, to be the bigger person, it takes forever and ever, and it's something I'm still working on.....and Mrs. S too... and something that someone else we know and love to death better get her butt in gear and get to gettin also............I wonder why the transition from being a child to becoming and adult is so hard.......
Lots of emotional baggage you need to dump on the way.....
Ok philosophical moment: Over.
Have a safe and Happy Memorial Day weekend, and if you drink any good drinks, have a second one for me!

Monday, Monday
Today was a day filled with a lot of ups and downs.
It's been a tough couple of months for Mr. Cranky Pants and me. Just little fights about everything. Nothing is seriously wrong, just going through an adjustment time. Although lately it feels as that's all we do, adjust (hahaha). I had a discussion about this with Mrs. S when she was here over the weekend(which was great!).
I think it's healthy to have arguments with your significant other. I think it breaks down whatever walls we put up, and continues to move us closer together on the same path towards the same goals. As long as you can always make up (which is the best part of course) I see no reason why a good healthy argument isn't an essential part of every relationship.
That being said, Mr. Cranky Pants and I must be moving towards an amazing out of this world relationship with all the little blow-ups we've had lately.
Oh well, this too shall pass.
The little monster's pediodontic episode was a success, and she now has lovely teeth which I am obsessed with cleaning. Yay!
And as I mentioned before, I had a totally awesome time with Mrs S, my mother in law, and family. But next time, we're for sure having a Girl's Night Out! hahaha!
So it's Monday, and that means Happy Hour!
Today's drink is nothing fancy, just a recommendation: Sandeman's Tawny Port. Get it, drink it, love it.
Projects for the week:
1. House shoes for Amerie (I know, a carry over from last week)
2. Find material for someone's B-day suprise present
3. Continue to practice applique stiching
4. Start my Infinity Dress
What are your projects?

Grace Alone, and Maybe a Drink or Three...
Today I read an awesome blog on Like Mother, Like Daughter (http://ourmothersdaughters.blogspot.com/2009/05/chew-on-this.html) about discpline and children. Now, you know as well as I that there are 100trillion billion million quadrillion opinions, experts and bits of advice on how to raise and discpline kids. For the constant keep-yourself-updated mom, I am sometimes on overload from the articles, book recommendations, and advice (sometimes wanted, sometimes not) that I am always getting. In the midst of all my fact gathering, and laborious research, it's easy to forget that the best set of principles on how to raise children come from the best teacher of all...
Ok folks, I'm about to get a little preachy here, and so if religion isn't your cup of tea, skip down to prior posts or take a perusal at something else, and I promise in a paragraph or two the preaching will be done with, and yes, consider yourself forewarned.
Our Heavenly Father is the best parent, and teacher of all. Not only that but He also granted us the beauty and gift of our child(ren). But it's easy to forget at 1 in the morning when the baby has been screaming all night, or your little one has been sick all night. It's also easy to forget when your lovely child throws a humongous tantrum in the middle of the check out isle at the grocery store, and refuses to get off the floor unless she gets a packet of gum. It's even easier still to forget when little missy or mr thinks it would be fun to spend the afternoon hitting, pinching, pushing, kicking, or biting you, because (s)he is at "that stage." For a mom who has worked all day at home or in an office, the end of the day can be a total breaking point, and there have been a few occassions when this mommy has spent the rest of the night effectively "broken." In the middle of this three ring circus where everyone else is the main act, except for you, how easy it is also to feel forgotten and resentful, putting more tension and friction into an already too long day. Now multiply by this feeling by ohhh....100trillion billion million quadrillion times, and that's probably a very clear picture of how God our Father must at sometimes feel towards all of us, his precious and much beloved Children. However, God does not ever reach a breaking point, (well not since he last flooded the Earth that is!), nor does he show resentment, or feel abandoned. Our Father is wise enough to instill those feelings (as tricky as they are) into all of to remind us to remember to turn to him.
Just as much as my little monster wants to climb up into my lap and get held and cuddled, God wants us to (figuratively speaking) also climb up and cuddle. He wants to nutrture us and help us to grow in spirit and mind, and give us guidance whether or not we know we need it. Children are a wonderful gift from God to remind us how much He loves each and everyone of us. God also wants to challenge us, to continue to mold and shape us to help us understand what unconditional love is, and the absolute gift and virture of patience. So my advice is this, nuture your children as God the Father nurtures you, and you cant' go wrong! For a mom who's been on the edge the entire week, and less than nurturing or nice, this is something I know I need to work on more, and I am glad that I found the chance to reflect on these things, and just relax. Thank God for that!
Ok, preaching over, and on to more fun things, like my dramatic life, and other such whimsies. So I did get to see S yesterday after all, and felt like a total fool for getting so mad about it. Poor Mr. Cranky Pants. On a good note, Mrs. Cranky Pants has not shown up today, so hopefully she will gone for good, until about this time next month.....
S and family are coming for the weekend and I am so excited, I feel like it's going to be Christmas morning, which for a grown adult (a term I uses very loosely) it is just a bit weird, but still exciting!
And on the bad mommy front, the little monster goes in tomorrow to have a ton of cavaties filled.... sigh.... at least the little brat's been through it too, and S has been very helpful with calming me down... (I'm totally a nervous wreck on the inside, and all business on the outside). It's FRIDAY! And Friday is also another Happy Hour Day! So I will have to update you all tomorrow with my latest creation!
Be good ya'll, and have a wonderful weekend.

HBIC, In The House
I am TIRED, and on top of being TIRED, I AM CRANKY. There's no two ways about it. Those are the facts, take them or leave them. Actually, I am (and if there are any guys reading this blog, you may want to skip to the next paragraph since I am about to get anatomically personal) PMSing really bad. This for me is a little strange. I tend to just be exhausted and not turn into the HBIC*, but for some reason, this month the claws are out and I cannot retract them.
Poor Mr. Cranky Pants, and maybe for the next couple of posts, I should call myself Mrs. Cranky Pants, he got a raw deal last night and this morning. Tsk, tsk. Well, you wanna play with fire, you're gonna get burned, I say.
In other news, I think it's time for a Happy Hour Thursday Special, just to get me through... And now I sound like a terrible lush, which I promise, I'm not! But there are some days, some weeks that you just need a little help to make it through. Ok, now I really sound like a drunkard... enough with the talk about drinking...
I wanted to visit S tonight since she and her family are in town. We had planned to see them tomorrow, but still, if we could squeeze in another visit, why not. I totally thought we were going to be able to, but no, I am mistaken. This morning Mr. Cranky Pants had to drop off one of our cars for an oil change. When I say had, I mean, had to, as in it would be the-total-end-of-the-world-if-we-can't-get-the-oil-changed-today-I-may-blow-a-gasket-because-we-need-to-do-it, type of had. So, neeedless to say we now need to go pick up said car, before the shop closes. Ahhhh, Mr. Cranky Pants how you vex me!
In fact, today everything, EVERYTHING vexes me. HBIC is totally in full swing, and I don't know when the nice, complacent, sweet, loving Mrs. R (to be read Mrs. Wonderful) is going to show her face again. Boy do I miss her. (And I'm sure Mr. Cranky Pants does too).
Well ladies and gents, I'm off. I'm off to compartmentalize and RELAX, and maybe to have a happy hour cocktail....
S..... save me from myself huh.....
