I have a hot/cold relationship right now with soldier boy but I think this song fits for us. When we first got married I couldn't sleep without him so I had lots of sleepless nights due to him being in the field 99% of the time. I found this video and I'm glad because it has 2 sexy men in it...I miss Moonlight but thankfully I can buy it on DVD and Rob Pattinson...yeah...tasty vampires!

So I've been working my bootay off, I can't complain since its awesome money, but its so exhausting! My parents have been watching the kids but I don't hardly get to spend time with them before when I was a stay at home mom. I'm still waiting to get them into CDC but since everyone thinks they have to have like a million kids, they are still on the waiting list another friggen 30-60 days. I swear 90 percent of women on this damn post are pregnant! Anywho, Thanksgiving is only 4 days then its Christmas time! Can we say this year has gone by way too fast??

Why???

So last week was a very sad week for us. We lost 13 soldiers to one of our own. Why? Noone knows. I made it justintime to leave the gate last Thursday before they closed it down and came home to like a hundred phone calls with me bewildered to the fact that anything happened. I am so thankful for concerned friends and family and saddened for the ones who lost theirs.

I took this pic today and there are still news people in front!

Happy Halloween!

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:05:00 +0000

So my sis and I took the kids trick or treating last night and they had a blast! They filled up one and a half buckets (the plastic pumpkins you get for .80 cents). Wonder how long the candy will last?

My little man

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:42:00 +0000

my dad, little man, Joe

Although little man is only 4 sometimes I think he is much older. He is a combination of my dad, my cousin Joe, and my husband which, if you knew any of them you'd be scared too. He is such an amazing little boy and so damn smart if you ask me!

Some randomness of little man:

"Mom wipe my boot(butt)" (after he poops in the potty)

"Where are my cars?"

"Where is (insert a family member that we live with even if they are in the room)?"

"Can I have a rice christmas tree?" (rice krispy treat)

"I don't like that Happyween store"(He calls Halloween, "Happyween")

I decided to write a random post about my favorite little man because he makes me so happy and so mad all wrapped into one. He says the most craziest things and does the strangest things that you can't help but love him for it.

Mommy blogger movie!

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:45:00 +0000

I saw this on Momma Kat's blog and the trailer looks awesome! I love that Uma Thurman looks "normal" then she usually does! Unfortunately the movie isn't going to be in my area yet but I'm hoping that it will get enough popularity to show everywhere (like *ahem* Paranormal Activity which I am itching to go see!)

Where has my life gone?

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:25:00 +0000

I seriously think I'm losing my mind.

Seriously.

Since my son has turned the age of 4 my days go like this:

Little Man: Mom! Sissy hit me!
Me: I'm sorry, Lila, tell your brother you are sorry!
Lila: Sorry bwother

LM: Mom!
Me: (trying to concentrate on something or doing something that needs to be done so I tune him out)
LM: MOOOOMMM!
Me: (continuing)
LM: MOM!
Me: Whaaaattt?
LM: Sissy is getting into (insert something that a child gets into all the time)
Me: ARG!

LM: Mom, where are we going?
Me: Gotta pick up aunt Manda
LM: Why?
Me: Because she just got off of work
LM: Why?
Me: Because she did.
LM: What kind of work?
Me: Seriously what happened to my life?

I need a job.

Seriously.

I LOVE this song ever since I went home to IL to visit the family. The words and tune is really catchy and so lovey-dovey! Check it out! (Its also my ringtone!)

Ok, so I'm not so tech-savvy, sue me!

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 04:47:00 +0000

So I had my Blackberry storm for a grand total of 19 days and I liked it...somewhat. I liked the phone but Verizon was going to charge me too darn much each month just to have it and with no military discount...shame on them! So I went crawling back to AT&T and got myself the Iphone. I didn't get the big fancy one, just the 8GB one but thats okay because once I finally get a job I'm going to upgrade!

What I didn't like about my BB Storm? Well, I had to basically push it twice sometimes. I had to select what I wanted and push it again. I am impatient, when I want something done I want it done NOW! I also couldn't figure out how to stop the damn thing from going off each time I had an e-mail or a facebook alert..I guess this is why I gave up wanting to be a computer programmer...

Oh well.

But my Iphone DOES have an app for Starbucks! weeee!

What to do, what to do?

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 15:53:00 +0000

I have been looking for things to do for the kids each day since I don't have a job nor extra income to put them in day care to socialize with other kids. I hate leaving them in front of the television while I'm online constantly looking for jobs. I have done some searching online for activities but I feel like its not enough like I should be teaching them more. I guess my search still continues!

Wii Active update! Weee!

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:35:00 +0000

Wii Active has an expansion that has more workouts! I am so super-psyched! I can't wait for it to come out! Due to being broke off my butt I will have to wait for it. I did get done with the 30 day challenge...ahem...3 months after I started but I do have a good excuse thankyouverymuch!

Writer's Workshop

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 05:58:00 +0000

I haven't done Mama Kat's workshop in awhile due to drastic changes in my life(read past posts) so I decided to do this week. I chose the first one well, because of this and this

Yes, I want to go to England!

I know I should have went when I lived in Germany for almost 3 years but I never got a chance to!

*pout*

Now that I know that Valium works for me when I flew from Alaska to Texas I am going to try and make a trip...*ahem* well when I'm not so broke I mean.

*Note: I did see the London Bridge located in Arizona, that was pretty cool!

I love new fall shows!

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 05:01:00 +0000

So when September comes towards an end I get super-excited because...

ITS SEASON PREMIER TIME!!

Okay, I know, getting excited over some shows is lame but hey, I'm a stay at home mom with no life right now!

I got to watch my premiers of The Office, Biggest Loser, Big Bang Theory, and now I have a new fave show called "Modern Family" on ABC. (I just realized I have not watched any shows on ABC since Home Improvement!)

Can we say "freaking hilarious??"

Its about a middle-aged guy played by Ed O'Neill (He was Al Bundy on Married with Children) and he had been married for 6 months to this beautiful Latina woman who gets mistakened for his daughter. She has a son from a previous marriage who is 11.

He has 2 grown children, Claire and Mitchell, and they are just as insane as he is! Claire is married with 3 children and Mitchell is gay and adopted a baby girl from Vietnam with his live-in boyfriend.

If you want to catch the previews go here

Addict maybe?

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 03:16:00 +0000

Ever since my sister gave me one of her ColgateWisps I was hooked! These little brushes of freshness are amazing! I love how it gave me fresh breath and the little freshness balls in the center are just fabulous! I suggest anyone who needs some fresh breath in the middle of the day to pick up these things, they come in 4 to a pack so you can have yummy breath anytime!

What a pain!

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:26:00 +0000

So I moved here to Texas from Alaska to pursue an education and had no idea what I got myself into. After forgetting to turn in my spouse *MyCAA form I just decided to find a job...what a freaking hassle! So I'm still job hunting AND still looking for a used reliable vehicle so I don't have to use my mom's Prius.

*If you are a military spouse AND need free money for college, take advantage of it...6 grand!

Kanye, we already know you are a douche

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:54:00 +0000

So please stop trying to keep reminding us! Your behavior at the VMA's was as classy as your "Bush hates black people" remark. You are an idiot and I think you and your fans should go find your own island and live there so you can be their king and keep away from us senile folk.

Kanye West's Swift Outburst @ Yahoo! Video

Now, we'll go back to our regularly (non-Kanye) scheduled blog.

Don't worry "Household 6" will come to the rescue!

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:40:00 +0000

So my sister asked me the other day what "household 6" meant. I had heard it before but really didn't know the exact definition of it, I knew it was something relevant to an army wife.

According to Urban dictionary:

A military man's stay at home wife basically. Here is the entire definition. (It wouldn't let me copy and paste for some reason.)

It really boils down to this: We are the commander of the household and we are in charge of making sure everything gets done...believe it or not, the military wife is the hardest job in the world. I almost punched out overhearing a soldier say that a military spouse is not that big of a job, or the hardest...obviously he never had to do anything but go to work.

*Editors note* Okay, it isn't the hardest job per se but it is pretty difficult to say the least!

My new best friend..err...I mean blogger

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:14:00 +0000

I seriously think I'm in ~~lust~~ love with this blogger. I only read one post and I'm in awe of her wittiness(is that even a word?). I think everyone should read and soak in her awesomeness. Don't get me wrong, I have come across some awesomeness but I think her blog takes the cake. Check it out: http://thebloggess.com/

Soak in it, bathe in it.

The new pay per post

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:57:00 +0000

I have to write a random sentence to claim my blog.

A nameless razor fusses.

I don't know why this razor who has no name fusses but maybe it does because he may have to shave in places that he does not like and wants to remain nameless.

Anyway. Payperpost is awesome!

Goodbye Alaska!

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:34:00 +0000

So I'm moving! Moving away from sunny nights in the summer and dark and dreary days in the winter...moving to hot, and hot, and oh yeah, hot in sunny Texas! But at least I will be able to visit other states whenever I want! I will probably be MIA in my blogs but keep dropping on my entrecard and I'll get ya back when I can!

Goodbye Alaska and Hello Texas!

Amazing, just amazing!

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 05:29:00 +0000

So I have been non-stop on Wii Active. It says that I should rest after 2 days of working out but I'm so addicted I can't stop! My addiction to it has paid off since losing 13 lbs! I gained some when I skipped days so I stopped listening to it giving me crap about taking a rest day. I am feeling great and I can fit into a couple of my old jeans! If you need a great workout try this game, it really does pay off!

My cravings are coming back!

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 08:16:00 +0000

*edit*
So after I posted this while drooling I stopped over at Mama Kat's to see what her workshop was and YEAY, one of them is about "what are you giddy about" Well, already got the post thankyoumuch!

No, not for food(since losing weight from Wii Active)

But...

British men!!!!

I had a post on here awhile back about it and my favorite blogger who doesn't blog anymore posted a comment about it...well, mainly because he's British and doesn't understand my ~~infatuation~~ love for them. I also have a post about my favorite British comedies!

As I was doing my googling I came across this story about British men being "among least romantic"...I could care less, they could recite the alphabet and I'd still be in love.

Who are my faves you wanna know? (My first love is in the first link above)

Colin Firth

Now if you don't know who this piece of sexiness is you have been living under a rock the past 3 years:

Daniel Craig:

Daniel Radcliffe:
Shall I go on or are you done drooling? hehe

Where have you been all my life?

avonladycrista@gmail.com (domesticgoddess) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 06:53:00 +0000

Special K Chocolatey Delight! This stuff is so good and good to your waistline! I love eating it dry and picking out the little chocolate pieces...delish! I eat it after the kids go to bed because this is one treat that momma refuses to share! If you like chocolate and are on a diet, go pick yourself up a box, totally worth it!
