People

I'm on the first part of my journey to Michigan. You know the one where I was supposed to ride a train but was offered a bus instead, yeah that one. Well I am a people watcher....something I have learned from my wonderful father. Or well maybe I am more of an observer. My dad will make up stories about the people and swear he knows that they are right. Sometimes he comes up with believable things and sometimes it is so far out there. But he has an imagination that's for sure. I on the other hand just notice little things and wonder 'what on earth?!'

Example Number One:


This is a picture of the guy in front of me. You know the ugly Hawaiian shirts? My dad sure does! Well this guy is wearing one similar to those but with airplanes on it! First the Hawaiian shirts with big flowers is bad but one with airplanes is just wrong. But what it gets better with this guy. He is wearing shorts, which isn't bad, but when paired with chicken legs into cowboy boots it so is! I am no fashionista but I know that's not ok. I also found it slightly humorous that this guy was also making friendship bracelets. Umm.....

Example Two:
Next to me is a mom and her teenage daughter. Well lil miss daughter has some short shorts on. She must Nair her legs. (Get it?!? 'Who wears short shorts? We wear short shorts. Nair for short shorts. Ok nevermind) I shouldn't have to see her butt checks falling out of her shorts. So not cool. What is her mother thinking going out with her like that?! I am so glad i have boys....I won't be dealing with that. (If I am we have way more issues than butts hanging out of shorts!) Together lil miss short shorts and Hawaiian shirt would almost make a Jessica Simpson during 'Dukes of Hazzards'.

Example Number Three:
Not so much a 'what on earth' but more of a wow. This cute little old lady is kitty corner to me. But I was slightly shocked with some of the items she brought with her. She has her US magazine to catch up on the gossip, her 'Harry Potter' trading cards inside a collectors 'Harry Potter' box and a really cute little purse. If it wouldn't be so obvious I would have taken a picture of her. She is wearing old lady purple pants with a striped matching top. White old lady shoes. Hair pulled up into a 'bun'. She looks like your typical grandma but apparently up on the latest celebrity gossip.

I am slightly bored on my lil trip so watching people helps pass the time some. That and my travel buddy....


He is just so cute and doing so well. Sleeping as I write.

I'm almost to my first destination! I will let you know of the great people on my next leg of the trip later.

I Paid For What?!

So I'm taking the train to Michigan tomorrow with the fat baby. Or at least I paid to take the train. I guess my train is running 6 hours behind so they are providing a bus to Chicago so I can make my connecting train to my final destination in Michigan.

I am thankful for the provided bus. However, I am pretty sure I could have bought a bus ticket if that is what I wanted to take. But I didn't want to. I wanted the train. I could have walked around with my baby, sat in the quiet cart so baby could move around some or just had tons of room at my seat. Well not now!

I hope fat baby and I still get a seat alone. Or the person next to me better love cute, fat, blue eyed babies! Oh I so hope Edison (aka fat baby) doesn't decide that tomorrow is the day to be crabby and spit up like crazy.

The train from Chicago to Dearborn, MI has a good chance of being delayed 60-90 minutes. That I was very aware of. It won't be the funnest getting there between 12:00am and 1:30am but I will at least have more room than a bus!

I am already a tad nervous traveling such a long period with a very active lil one. And this is just adding to the stress a little bit. I am sure it will be just fine but I needed to vent. And this is what my blog is for!

Secret Crush

I am not really sure why but I just LOVE So You Think You Can Dance. And I know nothing about dance. Maybe because secretly I wish that I was able to dance. And I mean DANCE. These people make you cry at times with the stories they are telling with their movements. I have a list of favorite dancers that have been on the show and favorite routines that have been done. However none compare to the feelings I have for Sasha! I am not really sure why I love her. Maybe it was because of her relationship with her sister that she has. (Her sister also tried out but didn't make it on the show. I was really hoping tho!) But she is amazing. If you don't watch SYTYCD it is a good time to start just to watch her!

This is one of my favorites....Twitch is a past favorite too.

Break Time

Sometimes I need a break. A break from everything. Parenting, marriage, friendships and family. Is that possible? Not unless you die I guess and well I am not plaining that. Nor do I want that! But I am getting a slight parenting break for a week. The big boys are visiting Grams and Papa. I still have my fat baby with me. But he is the most easy going baby EVER! I have created a long list of things to do....we shall see if I complete the list. What's on my list you ask? Well let me share that with you.

1. Mop the floors

2. Clean the freezer

3. Clean the refrigerator

4. Dust the fans

5. Dust the shelves

6. Rearrange the playroom

7. Wash everyone's bedding

8. Watch Camp Rock 2

9. Clean the boys Room

10. Clean the bathroom

11. Blog 

12. Read a book

13. Finish Season 3 of 16 & Pregnant
14. Give Cooper a bath

I have half of my list already completed and the boys have only been gone one day! Ok I'm not gonna lie I might have started on my list the day before they left. It is way easier to clean while the big boys are not around. So I am going to take advantage of that time. However I am also going to use this time to watch me so great teeny bop tv. I love it! 

This is a much needed break.......

On A Mission

So I am out to prove my hubby wrong. We were talking the other night about things I can do for myself. No blue eyed boys. Just me. Tessa and I have done some photography classes and I loved that. But I want something a little more regular than that. So I suggested blogging again. I can use my blog as my outlet. My place to vent or praise about my life. Yes vent! It is not easy being a stay at home momma of 3 boys. However my lil Sethie doesn't have faith in me. So I am out to prove him wrong. He knows that I enjoy blogging but that I am rather busy. So we shall see what happens.

Wish me luck!
