My Life*: Lady

Movie Review: The Vow

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:48:00 +0000

I had the wonderful chance to preview this movie last night. Courtesy of Grace Hill Media. The movie is essentially about a young married couple that were involved in an accident the left the wife with amnesia. She could not remember anything about her marriage or her husband. And her devoted husband tries to make her fall back in love with him .

I am not going to give the movie away because I feel it is a MUST SEE movie for couples. The movie reminded me to enjoy this life and what I have because you never know when you will face something life changing. Marriage and love have nothing in common; they are as far apart as the poles; are, in fact, antagonistic to each other. No doubt some marriages have been the result of love. Not, however, because love could assert itself only in marriage; much rather is it because few people can completely outgrow a convention. There are to date a large numbers of men and women to whom marriage is nothing but a act, and these couples submit to it for the sake of public opinion. At any rate, while it is true that some marriages are based on love, and while it is equally true that in some cases love continues in married life, I maintain that it does so regardless of marriage, and not because of it. This movie shows that even though the woman completely forgot she was ever in love with her husband she could never let go of the point that she was obliviously meant to love him.

The Vow also reminded me of why I feel in love with my husband. His walk, the way he talks to me, the way he smiles when I smile, his humor. Its all one package to me the I tend to forget sometimes. Now in reality we met when we where in the 4th grade but boys had cooties back then so he was not on my radar until 8th grade. Back then I had the ability to project what I like about him over what a 14 year old ass he actually was. True love is what I called it. I sat next to a 14 year old girl, who cried through out the movie. I sat and thought I remember that age, when boys were romantics for writing you notes "Check yes or no"or speaking to around their friends. How even in a crowded gym his eye was on you over any other girl.

(Did you just see the unicorn pass over the rainbow in that last one???) :)

Then a flash to the present where that does not happen...hell we have children and a mortgage now... Pshhhhh. How soon we forget as a married couple of the things that made us fall in love. Those "first dates". When I got home from this movie, I could not wait to hug and kiss my husband. (I am a sap right?) But the movie provoked this need to kiss him and never let him go. I reminded him of our "first dates" and the feelings that came with each date.

Is is weird how over time you can forget the "firsts" in a relationship. But ever couple has had them and every couple needs them.

So the moral of my review is Don't forget the firsts.

Fall in love over and over again

Sex & Marriage

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 02:29:00 +0000

I caused a little stir in a mom's group I am part of today. Guess what is was about.... sex!! Oh yeah.
I am such a shit starter for some reason.... *eye roll*
So this is was I said:
" My FFFC is that I feel really bad for some of you ladies with sucky sex lives. And sometime I really want to come through the computer and shake you and say "please give your DH some before he finds someone who will"

FFFC= Flame Free Friday Confession. And it was apparently more flammable than I thought.

I got a lot of push back. Some woman automatically started with the "sex should not be the bases of marriage" or I got "having a limited sex life PP (post partum, I guess) and while BFing( breastfeeding) =/= a cheating husband. in fact I don't think anyone here is saying their DH is begging and they are denying him. wow, what a shitty thing to say to a group of new moms" and even better "If no sex= cheating I'd be screwed. (No pun intended). 10 months is a long time, but I have no trouble keeping it in my pants and neither does he".

These girls are laughable to me. I said two different things. One is I felt bad for some of the girls' sex life. TRULY. Some talk about never having sex toys, no sex since conceiving their child (mind you all us had are babies around the same time...8-9 months ago.), not wanting to have sex, etc. And as a female with a sex drive (that I have to work for) I think having a baby is not excuse for not having sex unless you have medical reasoning. Two, I wanted to tell the ladies that think its okay to just not have any form of intimacy with their husband is not okay. I just want them to wake up and see this.

So lets dig deeper. There are 3 HUGE reasons marriages fail.
1. Financial
2. Communication
3. Sex

Anyone who thinks other wise..you are delusional.
Break my statement down and you will not see where I said Sex is the main part of a marriage. You can not find where I said is if you do not have sex your husband will cheat. You will not find that I even said you are denying your husband, And you will definitely not find where I said you have to have sex ever day to keep him happy......... I love when people just pick shit out of thin air and say it.

If you are dumb enough to think not showing your husband any affection he will stay faithful then you are dumb enough to believe that bridge in Alaska does lead to Russia.
I said "give him some" in my neck of the woods that means sex, BJs, kisses, backrubs, ANYTHING! Give him SOMEthing.

I believe my husband and I have great communication when it comes to our sex life. Either we are having it or we are not. But the longest we ever went w/o something was 2 months in the beginning of my pregnancy because I literally got sick every time we tried. And that is 2 months in our 8 years of marriage, 4 kids, two fulltime jobs, and a house. There are times when we are exhausted or stressed and of course we might slack off but we get over it.
I had a male coworker who explained it very well to me once about men and sex. He said men need to get "some" to keep their minds clear. Men will start to think differently without some relief in that department. I thought he was kidding until I "experimented" on my husband without him knowing. I went 2 weeks and without a doubt my husband was more stressed out at work, could not concentrate on simple things, and he was down right mean. Then a flicked the switch and back to normal happy husband. But I can also say I was a little crankier too.
Sex is not the main focus in marriage but it IS one for the top.
Men need it PERIOD. And if your husband is telling you that he does not need it that often then he is lying to please you. Asked any man that is not a virgin how they feel about sex. What it does to them when they are not getting anything. And do they feel it is important.
I will sit here and wait for your finding............................................................................

Show me a sexless/ non intimate marriage with kids and I will show you room mates.

Besides sex in general makes you feel better. Its the endorphins running through your body that make you feel happy.

You know what, now that I think about it. I should have worded it differently. I should have said "If you were more intimate before having children, getting married, etc and you are not now I feel bad for you. What you did to get him, you need to keep doing to keep him."

But I am sure that is probably worst. :-/ Oh I forgot being in a mature relationship means no intimacy. My bad. Oh fuck I forgot who the hell says they have a "mature" relationship in their MARRIAGE oh I forgot 70 yr old people. I have had years of hearing men complain about their wives, studied the fundamentals of great communication in relationships, even took a couple class in college when I wanted to major in Sex Therapy...but them again I know nothing about nothing.

Kindle Fire

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:59:00 +0000

I received this lovely little beauty for an anniversary present from the hubs. I love it. I have envied the whole reader/tablet world for months now. I wanted a Nook when it first came out but the price was to much. Then I wanted the Nook color, still too much. So I just held out. I am so glad I did because the Kindle Fire is the perfect thing for me. I can check emails, Facebook, read and listen to books, and watch videos. LOVE LOVE LOVE this thing.

Now I am just waiting for my husband to get jealous over it in the next couple of weeks.

The Help- Book review

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:01:00 +0000

This book took me longer than I wanted it to take me to read it. 4 days that includes me working and taking care of my family. I am not sure why i thought i could read it quicker. The book was actually pretty darn great to read. Some parts was difficult but only because the use of language. It was what I call slave speak. The "yes'um" things. Let me be honest. being born and raised in the south I completely understand the tone without this book. And I was born years after this country's racial divided and longer after slavery. being from the south I would think is different form the rest of the USA. The way you are perceive the world is different. And yes some parts of the south still function like 1960 Mississippi. Sad but true. I was called "nigger" to many times to be born in the 80s. SERIOUSLY. The south is another planet at times.

The book made me force myself to go to bed at 2am. It made me ignore my family for 30 minutes at a time. And it was worth it. my goal was to read it before I watch the movie. I hate watching movies based on books and the movie tells another story.

30 day Mom Challenge

Happy Birthday to DA MAN

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:01:00 +0000

From my picture blog

So 32 years ago the world was blessed with the birth of that person above. Wow, we are getting old. Anywho I am not sure if I even shared my husband story before but I will give you all a little taste. My husband is adopted. He does not know what ethnicity,race, or whatever you want to called it his actually is or who his parents are. Growing up with him I know his adopted background. He was adopted the first time when he was a newborn. That marriage broke up and the couple had the nerves to not go through with it at the end. (I guess back then you had a return policy on people...SHAKE MY HEAD) He was adopted the second time at the age of 2 by his current parents....all black family. I know through out elementary school he let everyone assume his was Puerto Rican. When we got married I wanted to dig a little deeper because I wanted my children to have a sense of who they are beside multicultural aka mixed. So he agreed to dig. I am not sure if its a adopted thing but he seemed to be a little weary about the possibility of finding his bio-parents at first. So he sent out to get started with the DFCAS office in GA in 2005. It cost $300 to start....money we did not have at the time to just spend because the holidays were coming soon, so he decided that was a sign to stop. A week before Christmas a huge manila envelope came in the mail for me. I called him at work to let him know and to see if he wanted me to open it or wait until he got home. He said to wait. So when he got home we opened it and read line by line. It was the non-identifying info that we decided not to get because it cost to much. OMG we could no believe it. He got an early Christmas present. (More details) So with that info he was satisfied and new he was at least mixed white/black. Any who I still want to dig deeper but he has to be in the mood to search for more info, its like he is scared that when he find his family that they will not accept him. We know the reason he mom put him up fo adoption was because if his racial background. We live in the south!!!!! Goodness I hate the south's past. I want to see if my kids looks like anyone on his side of the family but I have to wait until he is ready and I am just so damn impatient but I will wait for him to be ready,

Birthday Party ideas

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:09:00 +0000

Have Your Cake and Eat It Too: Birthday Ideas for Your Kiddo

If you’re a parent, your child’s birthday is truly an important day; and not just for you, but for everyone in the family as well. We reminisce about the day our child was born and all they’ve accomplished throughout the months and years. Planning a theme can be tough for some parents, especially if you want the day to be just perfect. Just keep in mind that you should always play up your little boy/girl’s interests and passions! If they love Mario Kart, hit up the store and get yourself some Super Mario party supplies. If you’re still struggling for party ideas we have some great suggestions that will surely put smiles on everyone’s faces:

Ninja Party:

For any kid in Karate or Taekwondo, a ninja party would be just the ticket! Play up the Asian theme with rice lanterns (only about $2 at IKEA or other home decorating stores), pieces of paper decorated with Japanese figures, and stick to a palette of red and white for an Asian look. You can even have a Karate teacher come by and give the kids a lesson as an activity. Serve a dragon-decorated cake, candy sushi rolls (made with Rice Krispies and Swedish Fish), and fortune cookies for snacks.

Camp-Out:

Some kids just love the outdoors. Why not have a mini birthday camp-out? If you have a girl, decorate the house with brightly colored tree cutouts, leaves, and flowers. Serve a cake with natural-looking fondant flowers and fondant feathers. You can also have s’mores and trailmix for snacks! For invitations, invite the kids to “Camp [insert name of birthday girl/boy].” Have a scavenger hunt as your activity and set up tents outside or inside for slumber parties.

Racecar Party:

If your little boy or girl has a need for speed, throw your party at a go-kart rink and watch the kids go wild. Dress your child in a Ferrari jumpsuit. Decorate the snacks table in black and white checkers and toy cars. Old tires can also add to the ambiance. Stick to red, white, and black for your color palette. Of course, a car cake would be perfect!

Happy Anniversary to us

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 16:29:00 +0000

Happy Anniversary to us. We have now been married for 8 years. Even though it does seem like a short period of time we have been though A LOT. More that what most couples have been through is these little 8 years. But its weird thinking about it though because we have known each of for 23 years. dated for 5 years on and off in those years and married for the last 8.....WOOOOOW.

Marriage is tough. VERY VERY tough. I think the best marriages come from the couples who have been through the trails and tribulation and have survived. Without those "test" how can you say that the your significant other knows you like no other person on the earth. How can you tell he that person is stronger enough to handle whatever comes at you both. I want to be that old couple who talks about each other like they are the worst of people but love hard enough to still have my chaired pulled out for me and my coffee made for me every morning.

I have taken it upon myself to have a marriage refresher. For the next 30 days it will be romance, sex, love, and smiles. I think sex is a very big thing in marriages. Without intimacy you both fall out of sorts. Men need sex to think. There is no doubt in my mind that if a man goes to long without sex their brain gets cloudy and the though processes slow. Women can function without sex but let me tell you, if you have it a a regular bases your feel better about yourself in general. Life is a little sweeter and your stress level goes down.
I will post my through out the process (if I remember).

Year End Review

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 01:46:00 +0000

As this year ends I am happy that I was able to see everything that I saw. I have had my highs and lows but I ot through all of them I am an still here. The lows were seeing my step daughter go live with her mom. Though I know it was not the best place for her to be, she wanted to go. What I see out of the arrangement now is everything I knew it would be. Her mom is still not the mom she should be and still the same as she was the day she drop NJ off. But again I say that is not my child so I am not responsible for her outcome when she is not in my house. My hubs had his own personal struggles dealing with the situation that was not favorable but he too got though it and it still here.
I have had one of the hardest year at my job. Having to stand up for myself against the devil that was my boss. Having to go into my own world at my job and sit back and just work and not interact because the work load was too much for one person to handle. I have worked harder than i have ever had to and prove to others I am the best at what I do. But I got through it and even got a promotion. Yeah me!
The highest of the high was the birth of our first son, Aiduan. He is the best thing that could have happen to us. When God closed a door a cool breezes opens a window. Our son was the breath of fresh air we needed in our lives. He brings a new meaning to our lives. Having a son is the best. He shows his mom more love than I could imagine. I finally have a child that actually looks like me!!! LOL I know now your heart does grow bigger with every child. Giving birth to him showed me that I was stronger than I every did imagine. Having a VBA2C was a blessing!!

My life was changed this year. I brought the world the joy of my son, I realized I needed more out of my life with a new job, I let people go in my life that I no longer needed or wanted. I survived adversity. I have became a better person, mom , and wife. This year may seem to outsiders as me battling hardship and misfortune, I actually was learning to be stronger and transformer into a new me.

Next year I am busted doors wide open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Notes from my head..

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 04:50:00 +0000

I am so sick of parents not teaching their children to be better than them. Just because you as a parent do not have a college education does not mean your kids should not have one. Stop thinking its cute for your child to get in trouble. No your child going to Juvie is not funny, clever, or a milestone. Those actions make you look like a moron and your child looks like a failure. Oh yeah you like hanging out with your 15 year old's friends and partying it up. You look like pedophile not a "cool mom" :/ Letting your children disrespect their elders just because you do not like them makes you both look ignorant. Children have a place and they should stay in it no matter what! Stop rewarding your child's bad behavior because you are not a stand up parent. Giving them phones, cars, jewelry, or shopping sprees when they are not going to school, not making straight A's, or not being an awarding human being seems to condone poor decision making and repeating the cycle of your stupidity. Its not funny to maliciously joke with your child about other people. It shows a clear disrespect for others and again you look like a moron. You are the parent act like it. Sorry your child might not like the fact that I see them as the child that they are. Stop trying to be their best friend. Oh I am sorry your child's dad is not in their life, but that does not mean all men are stupid and immature. Do not downgrade a whole sex because of one fool. Stop showing your child that you have no standards by chasing people who clearly are not good for you. Be a role model not a trollop. You do not have to speak to me when you see me, its okay I love being the better person and speaking first. Just know if your child tries that I will punch them in the throat.

Its that time of year again!!! CHRISTMAS

Holiday recipes...

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:59:00 +0000

I am part of a review group called MyBlogSparks. Occasionally I get things to review from companies. The latest thing I receive was cool recipes to use for the holidays from Betty Crocker, so I wanted to share with you all.

Really good, big food that’s stacked and stuffed with the flavors they can’t resist. Recipe: Mantastic Fried Chicken ‘n’ Waffle Sandwich Here’s a new take on chicken ‘n’ waffles - made better with beer, bacon, and bourbon. It’s the ultimate manly man meal.

	Trend: Skinny Cocktails Here’s the skinny! Drinking high-calorie cocktails is so last year. The modern mixologist is shaking things up with light & flavorful cocktails.

Recipe: Cajeta Caramel Fudge Create the perfect combination of flavor and crunch with this homemade candy. Rich chocolate fudge layered with cajeta caramel, cashews and a sprinkle of sea salt—a recipe to impress.

	Trend: Veggie Love Once just tolerated, vegetables are now celebrated. Omnivores and herbivores alike have discovered that veggies offer variety and great taste, and are feeling the love. Recipe: Sweet Potato Hummus Hummus with fresh sweet potato packs even more plant power. Add a delicious blend of smoked paprika, coriander, and cumin to make this flavorful dip.

	Trend: Shareworthy & Allergen-Friendly Allergen-friendly foods may be free from things like nuts, dairy and eggs, but shouldn’t be free from flavor.

Make the bark by melting carob chips and peanut butter then top with your dog’s favorite ingredients – bacon and cheese. Bow WOW!

Recipe: Chocolate Coal Lumps Naughty or nice, everyone will love these easy cho-coal-late treats. Cocoa Puffs® cereal dipped in melted chocolate and marshmallows create these tasty stocking stuffers.

So I have Migraines

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 16:59:00 +0000

Migraines....

I spent last night in the hospital getting pumped full on sleepy meds.. YEAHHHHHHHHH
I started to not feel to well during the day after work. Then when we started to eat dinner my head started to pound. I took 3 Tylenol Extra Strength and an hour later my head was worst. I then started to feel sick. I was walking back and forth to the bathroom. My hubby told me to check my blood pressure because last time it happen my BP was 198/130 or something like that. My mom checked it and it was 147/110..Well damn is all I thought. I decided then to just lay on the couch and cover my head. Nope that made it worst and my mouth started to water. I knew what that meant so i ran to the bathroom and ...... YUUUUCCCK.
I HATE throwing up, I really do. I never could be have bulimarexia.

Next thing I knew I was in the ER hook up to all kinds of crap. In the hospital my BP was 154/120....FUCKITY FUCK. My head felt like it was going to explode. The Dr came in and he said that my BP was up because I was in pain...oooh fuck you. I have had BP issues ever since I gave birth 6 months ago. He then told me that he would give me meds for the pain and nausea and I need to follow up with a neurologist and to see my PCP for BP meds. I told him I just had a scan 3 months ago and everything was fine. He said to make sure I tell the neurologist. Errgrrggggg. He acted like I was bothering him. My husband did not like that and told him I was not going home until my BP was normal and he did not care WTF the Dr said. The med made me loopy...It was nice!!
The last time this happen the Dr told me when ever I start having headaches and was vomiingt to go to the ER because I have a BP issuse. Now the ER Dr is telling me I have migraines... I was on BP meds for 6 weeks and everything was great and my Dr took me off of them. Now it looks like my fat ass is going to have to walk and get back on BP meds.

Friday Lessons: Resilient child.....

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. Lady) — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:31:00 +0000

Hello my name is Lady and I am a mother of a "special needs" child, Wes

You may think....WHAT????? Yeah I do not talk about it much because I do not want it to define me as a person nor do I want that label to define my child as being less of a person. But she is who she is, my little firecracker!

I was 22 when I had her and she was my first everything. I thought I was doing everything right during my entire pregnancy, eating the right things, no stress, exercise, yadda yadda. I went in for my 20 wks U/S and good the news that something was not "right". The Perinatal dr even had the nerves to asked me if I was taken cancer drugs... "WHAT*&#" What ever the case I was in the U/S room with my mom and BFF and everything hit me all at once. I had to get a amino and just sit and wait. The kicker was I had the amnio at 22 wks results took 2-3 wks, so I was informed that the day I got my results I had to decided if I wanted to keep the pregnancy or not. GEEZ, I was only 22 and about to finish college. I was crushed by the weight of the world. Those 2 1/2 weeks were the worst weeks of my life.

Fast forward 9 years and here we are.She is Becoming a tween. It is SOOOOOO scary. She is developing a little and likes big girl things.. I can not deal. I know these next couple of years are going to me challenging. She wants to be involved more in outside activities, but it is hard finding something for her to do. She is a girl scout for the first time. But I really do not like the troop she is on. The troop leader has no control over the girls and she seems very stand offish toward Wes. I understand not knowing what to do with Wes sometimes but acting like you can not speak to her is just fucking ridiculous. I made me my mission to attend each meeting because the troop leader seems to be too ignorant to know what to do with all the girls. Girls Scouts are known for their diversity but this troop leader is making it look bad. I am just waiting for the spring when Wes gets back into t-ball. She loves that.

How long could you survive after kicking a bear in his balls....LOL

So I posted before about the "change" happening at my job. So the positions that are being offered were posted yesterday. Just in time foe me to get a email for a phone interview for a new job.... ( YEAHHHHH). I was super nervous about the interview because I have not had one in over a year. Plus interviewing sucks to me. I spend most of the morning (at work) surfing the net about phone interview tricks and possible questions that might be asked.
So the interview was scheduled for 2pm...2:10 and nothing. I am getting really nervous about it because I figured they forgot or found someone else. Around 2:15 I get a call from the Director and he states that he was in a meeting that is running over and he would call me when it was over and her apologized. I was relieved in two ways. First, he called me so YEAHHHH for them still wanting me. Secondly, the Director had an strong foreign accent which for some reason made me less stress. I figured his questioning would be easier.

Then panic set in again because it was a phone interview with someone who obviously has English as a second language. This will have to be one a the toughest interviews to have over the phone. Goodness me. I figured that if I get through it with a smile on my face and a giggle or two from him I would get a prize... :)

The interview went great. There was a few "Please repeat" but they ended with laughs. He was so impressed with me he wanted to set up a face to face interview this week....OMG OMG OMG.
We schedule for Friday since I am off of work anyway.
I got an email around 8pm with my interview agenda and the three people I will meet. The interview will last 2 1/2 hours....Dontcha just love Higher Education... ;)
