OMG!!!!!!!

I was going to do an "enlightened" type blog...BUT....all hell broke out in my house just now about doughnuts!!!! yes...5 kids can fight about doughnuts!!! even the self proclaimed "adult" of the bunch still fights about doughnuts!!

I mean really.....does it effing matter who eats what doughnut? is it that bad if OMG your little sister eats the same damn one that you are eating?! Seriously!!?? So I guess my question to you out there is.......do you fight over petty stupid ass things? do you look back and think omg we fought over that!?!?!

I have, I will admit...although I do admit it was not as stupid as eating the same kind of doughnut! but....close....My sister and I shared a room....and we would fight about everything...it got so bad that at one point she put tape down the middle of the room, and said "this side is mine and this side is yours!!! you cannot put your clothes in the closet because it is on my side of the room!! and you cant this or that,.....yada yada yada..." she was awful!! LOL BUT my revenge on her was this.....SHE put the tape down the middle of the room.....and the door to get out of the room was on my side of the room!!!!! So being the little shit that I was....I told her she had to climb out the window to get out of the room!!! so of course, she called out for MOM...but Mom seeing what was going on said only this....."Well you started it by putting the tape down the middle of the room and stating that your sister was not allowed at all to step one foot on YOUR side of the room!! so, in turn....YOU have to give her the same courtesy!!!" LMAO boy did that tape come up off the floor rather quickly!!!

So I guess this didn't turn out to be too much of a meaningless blog post....but my question to you is....in your lifetime have you ever argued over the most stupid asinine things? and later when you were older and wiser looked back and wanted to smack your "younger self" upside the head and say "what were you thinking!?!?"

Large Families

my friend Mimi over at Minxy Mimi unplugged recently did a post about the Duggars, and their 18th child.....http://mimxymimiunplugged.blogspot.com/2008/12/how-do-you-feel-about-duggar-family.html

and it got me going on the defensive......LOL who me? on the defensive!?!?! unheard of right!! Well, because I have 5 kids, I have often been told that I am over populating the earth, and contributing to its downfall....and that my kids could not possibly feel loved by me and my dh because there are so many of them....

I have to literally Laugh My Ass Off because, nothing could be further from the truth!! sure we have a large family of 7, and at time it can get hard...but you know what we make it thru all the rough times and we are stronger for it!! In this economy right now, I am sure there are a lot of you out there that are struggling financially with just one or two kids to worry about....so what is the difference? there really is not a difference imo.....you worry about all of them just the same! you worry about ALL of your children all of the time, just like those of you with 2 worry about your two, well I just have 3 more to worry about....its not a burden, or a headache

I happened to get pregnant 5 times...and YES I have heard of birth control.....thank you...have you ever heard of 99% effective?!? well that percentage that is there that it is not ALWAYS effective....well *I* am that percentage that can and DOES get pg on the pill!!! 2 of the 5 were not planned, and we were not planning on being pg, but it happened, and there was NOTHING we could do to change it ( I don't do abortions) so....we have 5 wonderful, well rounded children, that if you did ask them, life in our family is not so bad!!! we do the family game nights, movie nights, we play video games as a family....hell I know many families out there that have just 2 kids and the don't do half of the stuff we do as a family!! in fact my kids tell me that their friends are jealous when we talk about game nights and movie nights at school!! LOL

So if there is the perception out there that with having a large family there is no way to have some one on one time with the kids...well...yes there is and my family is living proof of that!

Slacker Blogger

yes that is what I am......A Slacker Blogger....LOL Honestly...Life just has a way of getting in the way of things sometimes....and I just have not been all that "together" as of late, and my blogging has taken a serious back seat to everything!!!

I guess maybe after the Holiday's I will get back into it again....I just don't seem to have the time to do it right now....I still have decorating, wrapping, and all that Jazzy stuff to get done....ugh...

someone give me a call when the "holiday's" are over!!!
