I have been obsessed with the song ‘Teenage Dream’ by Katy Perry for a while now. It kind of reminds me of when life was simpler and I miss that. But if you have not heard it here is the video you can check out.

I am also thinking about starting a more focused mom blog and keeping this as a just about me and stuff I think is cool or like. I already have new domain, just don’t know how well it will go over.

I just can’t think of much random right now, I have not had much fun lately other than spend Saturday night by myself singing to Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour, I did contemplate on whether or not it was pathetic and decided that it would be pathetic if I had started drinking by myself. But it probably would have been fun.

Have a Random Tuesday!

2. You're next!

It has been a long and surreal week so far.

One of the highlights is I will be going back to college in the very near future to finish my teaching degree.

That is so exciting to me and I can’t wait to get started.

But to make this happen I no longer have a job and it will be ok. It gives me more time to build my blog and to attend school. So it will all work out and be for the best.

And I commend any stay at home moms who are with their children 24/7! You guys amaze me I have been with my kids continuously for a few days and despite how much I love them I cannot wait for school to start for them.

They absolutely will not quit bickering and fighting. I am about to pull my hair out, I have no idea what I am doing to do with them. Maybe it is the whole being together 24 hours a day thing that is making them fight so much, hopefully that is it and it will stop once school starts back.

And I also need an energy drink desperately, if you have an Amp send one my way. I would be forever thankful.

Keep it random!

I think I ready somewhere that this is now like the hottest recorded summer ever. I said I think, I read a lot of stuff so I don’t remember for sure. But it sure as hell feels like it is.

So hot that my ever determined to play outside 7 year old asked to leave the park this weekend.  I was shocked but did I question him?

No!

 Not a chance that I would.

I beat him to the car.

I have had a lot of fun lately. I went with my sister and best bud out this weekend to another best bud’s house. There Rock Band and me singing, it was freaking awesomesauce. 

For me anyway, I hope for the others as well. My singing may have damaged some ears. I hope not at least.

I have a daily post idea that I am thinking could be cool,  I hope to possibly be starting it tonight. 

Also have tentatively scheduled myself to start an EA Sports 30 day or 6 week challenge and actually finish it. That I will post everyday.

I just have to, I have to lose this weight!

I am out of randomness for now so have a very random Tuesday!

2. You're next!

Not so wordless this week. So I was home alone and playing Rockband and this is the kind of stuff that happens. I start to record myself and yet am too shy to post the videos.  It must have been bad though my audience turned her back on me. Happy Wordless Wednesday! But I think I got a pose down!

I have no idea why but for some reason I am just feeling so intimidated by it.

And it is not as if I it is my first year, it is my fifth year of buying school supplies for my own kids. But for some reason the thought of it is feeling very ominous right now.

I will get over it though I suppose. And despite my dread I have decided that I am not going to be one those parents that at about a week to a few days before school starts will be rushing around trying to get everything.

Nope not me, I may be dreading it, but I already have my ads for this week all marked up on stuff I can get on sale.

Is there anyone else out there feeling the same way?

Somebody should stop me, I have been listening to hardcore and gangsta rap, and that just gives me all kinds of weird ideas.

For example I have been considering posting all of my status messages on Twitter and Facebook as lyrics from Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle album (it is my most favorite rap album ever, and I don’t listen to a lot of rap unless I just feel like it), but that could just get all kind of messy.

And people might think I am weirder than they already think I am, can’t have that or can I?

And for the record I only let my kids listen to that kind of music on every other Tuesday NEVER!

Also lately I have been considering that I should by stock in Pepsi because of my Amp obsession.  I have never ever liked an energy drink before but this stuff is just awesome, and I must have it!

And the birds that I wrote about a while back that kept getting into my house. Well the bastards have bred! I can not seem to get them to quit building the nest on my porch, it was empty around a month or so ago and so we got rid of it. Well they have already rebuilt and had babies!

I gotta figure out how to make them stop!

Peaches and Cortana do enjoy going nuts trying to get them though, and it can be quite entertaining.

Also trying to work on a new theme and re-branding for the site, have the header ready, but am working on the theme.

Yes, Amp and I are building and customizing the theme, this is awesomeness.

But I am totally out of random now and I think it is shower and bed time.

2. You're next!

Very soon like hopefully next month soon, I want to start back to college to finish getting my degree. It has become my ultimate goal at this point and to get it done, and then make sure my kids go when they are old enough.

So my decided major is to finish getting my teaching degree and I have decided that to leave my options open I would do a degree plan that would allow me to teach from Early Education to High School.

That was easy enough to decide, but then I was stuck between do I want to major in Social Studies/History or Math.

I am actually leaning towards math at this point, I am pretty good at it so I think that it will work for me.

So yesterday while I was sitting and dwelling on it, I asked Wes.

Yeah I asked an 8 year old, well he will be 9 on Friday, so maybe that makes it less odd.

My question to him should I do history or math?

He says don’t do history it is boring, that was easy for him.

But then he says do math, it could make you a better cook.

And me being female of course, looked at my 8 year old and as sweet as possible said “So mommy’s cooking is bad?”

It was funny he changed his tune real quick, he said no mommy cooks good just math would make it better with learning all of the measurements.

He had a good save there, and I have to say I laughed my ass off.

And yes I know totally crazy taking college advice from him:

My sister, my friend and I are trying to make it a yearly thing to go down to Galveston to the beach every year. So all three of us and all the kids load up and go down. The kids love it and we love it despite that even with sunscreen most of us always get burned.

We had a ton of fun and it actually wasn’t too terribly hot.

And despite the fun we had we were really hoping that we would not see any of the tar balls that they have started to find on our Texas Coast, of course the ones that they say could or could not be from the BP spill, but come on they were not there last year and they are this year, so to me it is obvious they are most likely from the spill. We actually found quite a few small pieces but could not see a difference in the water.

Here is one of the balls the kids found

And of course there are tons of fun pictures:
