Sweetest Thing? Not Today.....

 This was only the icing on the cake of my not so sweet day today.

And the LAMEST part?  My insurance card apparently expired 2/24/12....Now...I am insured....believe you me....however, American Family is now on my hater list and will hear my wrath tomorrow for not sending updated cards.  And....AND....the cop wouldn't even let it slide-four days expired and he wouldn't let it slide!!!!! Come ON!!!!!!   You're gonna give me the speeding ticket anyway...cut me some slack you know?  *&$%#@!  Ugh.  I thought about pulling the explosive diarrhea card...and didn't...Trust me...there was no bargaining here.  I never get lucky with the nice cops...I don't think they exist...And if you think otherwise....You are a liar.  And little boys and girls that lie wet their bed at night.  The End.  Off to bed...hopefully I will wake on the right side tomorrow.  F!

On Fire!

We play at 2:45 for 1st place! Boooooyahh!

You Know You're A Mom When....

Its nine o' clock at night and you are in the ONE and only (coin operated) laundry room...alone...while the kids and hubby sleep....doin half the teams' laundry for tomorrow....just sayin ;).  Still wouldnt change it for anything.

P.s. Trin and her Galaxy team played AWESOME today. First game won 4-1, second game 3-0 which is awesome because shutouts are worth an extra ten points. We start early tomorrow at 7 am...wish us luck!

Tucson or Bust!

On the road to tucson for O.P.I!  Code's at the wheel, Austy is passed out in the back, Trin is mad at her Angry Birds game and I am catching up on some reading :). Doesn't get much betta!  Let's call this the calm before the storm...Come tomorrow mornin it's game time. Wish Trinny luck!

Crocodiles!

It's official....I was right all along, I don't know WHY the doctors didn't listen to me!   I knew there were crocodiles in my uterus.  Not only is my uterus tipped but we found on ultrasound actual crocodiles.  See, they wait for babies and then they SNAP and eat em up!

Seriously, though, the endometriosis is back with a vengeance.  I was told at the time of the ultrasound that I was "lucky the radiologist is in the office today because he can come in and go over the results with you right now!"  I'm not sure what she meant by lucky...Never have I experienced a doctor with such AWFUL bedside manner-especially when I am not even fully clothed.  The NERVE!  I asked if the endometrioma was softball sized as I had back in 2006 and he rudely snapped back at me that "We don't measure based on fruit of sports...blah blah blah...."  Well  EXCUSE me!  Anywhosie.....three weeks later and I now have the  "official" results. Let me just say...I love my new OB/GYN.  He is LDS and is a personal friend of the Villarreal family.  He sat on the phone with me and listened to my silly fruit/size questions for twenty minutes. 

Basically, I have another endometrioma on my right ovary...again...Somewhere between golfball size and tennis ball size.  Dr. Nelson is going to review my case with his infertility/IVF peeps and work up a treatment plan-whether that be surgery right away, or down the road when we are ready to begin the IVF process.  Of course, this all depends on my pain level and the rate the crocodile grows....Should be fun....

LoveMonster Day 2012

These hooligans make my world go round.  They make the bank account smaller, but my heart bigger.  I love my lil' V-Monsters more than words can say.  Kisses to my babes on love day.  As always, we keep it classy...Have a looksy at our night out on the town :) xoxo! 

Waiting on Dad...typical...

Trin totally ate sushi with me. We ran a TRAIN through that Sweet and Spicy Roll!

Chop Sticks are for nose picking...not for eating...Just sayin'.....

And this is what happens when it takes way too long to get the check...kids be crazy up in here!

Happy Love Day to my awesome family!  Love you monsters to the moon and back!

P.S.  Trin is wearing my sweatshirt...Yes it fits her...yes she loves it, and yes, she has asked me to buy her one "just like it".....Just Sayin...my closet has already become "her" closet...She is 9 people!  9!!!! And already stealing my clothes...and shoes... Scarey!

You Know Your Kids' Getting Older When...

Does this mean we have officially crossed that fine line to "uncool?"  Is she already at that age?  I feel old...and very "un-cool."

"Um, no Dad"

"My dad is soooo annoying!"

"Seriously, dad?"

"OMG, dad!"

Taylor, Walter Kenneth
96 of Mesa, Arizona, passed away on Friday, February 10, 2012. Born on January 22, 1916 in Beadling, Pennsylvania to John and Annie Taylor. In 1933, at the age of 17, he drove his family to Arizona in a Model A Ford. On May 31, 1938 he married Virginia Mortensen in the Mesa Arizona Temple. He was preceded in death by his wife of 71 years; his siblings George, Howard and Hazel; and a grandson Todd. Surviving are: two sisters Ethel Taylor of Payson, AZ and Ruth Allen of Phoenix, AZ; two sons Gary (Sharon) Taylor of Strawberry, AZ and Marc (Cindy) Taylor of Phoenix, AZ; two daughters Janice (Von) Johnson of Phoenix, AZ and Jane (Jim) Bowden of Hillsboro, OR; fifteen grandchildren and twenty-nine great grandchildren. He served in the Navy in San Francisco at the end of World War II and worked for Arizona Public Service for 42 years. He could build or repair just about anything, was a hard worker and loved to sit in his rocking chair. He and Virginia moved to Prescott after retiring from APS and lived there until 2005 when he returned to Phoenix to live with Janice and Von. After the death of his wife, he moved to Mesa. Graveside services will be held at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, 23029 N. Cave Creek Rd. on Friday, February 17, 2012 at 1:30 pm. Arrangements by Hansen Mortuary. 

Grandpa was: Always rocking away in his brown front porch glider.  He was over the top Christmas lights, a tan Member's Only jacket and matching velcro shoes.  He was Clorets in church on Sunday, an expert gift "guesser," and tomato and cucumber gardener.  Quiet, patient, kind.  A cold front room, and a toasty warm family room.  Lover of all food.  Cold oatmeal on Saturday morning.  A gravel driveway atop the hill.  He was serious and thoughtful, but also silly and always looking to tease.  Half a bottle of Pepsi mixed with half a bottle of Diet Pepsi (for taste with half the calories) :).  

Grandpa, I love you more than I ever realized while you were here on earth and I miss you more than I ever thought I could.   You left a legacy that I will always carry with me.  Hard work and family come first above all else.  Grandpa, give Grandma a kiss and a squeeze for me.  After 71 years together I know you must have missed her tremendously losing her almost two years ago, and it brings tears of joy to my eyes to know you two are reunited once again through the blessings of the Gospel and Eternal Life.  My heart breaks as I miss you here on earth, but I am so thankful that it won't be long before we can all be together once again-sweetness, indeed.  

Forever in my heart, Grandpa.
