Reality TV and Sick Germs

Big Brother is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it! Finally, some good reality tv to watch. My favorites so far are Lydia and Jeff.



Laura is so freaking annoying... and like get over your boobs. no one cares. no one is interested.



Russell is a total jerk, but his abs are pretty hot.



Jessie has crazy arms... way too big. This was the best pic I could find, but his arms are even bigger.



Don't you just love big brother? First Russell insists on Jessie putting Lydia on the block. The next day he is laying on the couch with her, rubbing her legs, telling her it was Natalie's idea. Oh by the way, get a haircut, Natalie.

I loved when Lydia said that she was like Molly Ringwald and Kevin was her ducky. Good call! I totally agree.

So excited about this season. Looks like it's going to be a fun one!

I don't know about you guys, but I HATE being sick. What I hate even more is when the husband is sick. The sneezing and coughing and all the gross stuff that goes with it all.... I might throw up just thinking about it.

Well, Jon has been sick for over a week now. I have banished him to Jessica's bed because I don't want me or Alyssa getting sick. Emily has been sleeping with Will in his room so they won't get sick. Every morning when I wake up I spray Jessica's room with lysol. Anything Jon touches is basically contaminated to me. I was actually freaking out when he was driving my car home from camp because he kept coughing in his hand and then touching the steering wheel. I started pouring purel in his hand after each cough before touching the steering wheel again. I really really hate sick germs.

I know I am slightly crazy.

Bug Bites

My husband did not listen to me when I told him to put bug spray on his one and only son before he went to a slip n slide birthday party at a friend's house. (this is NOT a not me monday... he really didn't listen.... Will has 17 mosquito bites.... 7 on his face! 1 on his neck. 5 on his back. 1 on his chest. 3 on his arms. My poor little Will. His poor, little, bony body covered with humongous pink circles.

I asked him if he noticed that there were bugs sitting on his face eating him? Besides his freaking out at the thought of it and screaming and crying, he happened to answer, "no. but I saw one on Joey's back." And of course he kept that information to himself , so I'm sure Joey is covered with mosquito bites too.

I am seriously itching all over just looking at Will.

On another note, Alyssa (who decided that she wanted pancakes and waffles, no actually cereal, no actually yogurt....um actually just kidding... not hungry) fell asleep on the couch this morning while playing with scooby doo characters at 7:50 AM....!

Um... this girl has got to start sleeping better at night... she's killing me!

Bits And Pieces

My husband is threatening to take me on vacation!

Most people would be thrilled... not me. If you know me, you know that I don't like to leave my children. They need me. I need them. I'm not kidding. He's threatening to make plans, find someone to watch the kids, and take me away for a few days..... and I am freaking out! 

I told him if he waits 3 1/2 years I will gladly go. Yes. I said 3 1/2 years. Then Alyssa will be 5 and pretty much be able to take care of herself.

The husband thought it was a joke. It was not. So now I have to live in fear of my husband taking me on vacation.

On another note, I can now add something new to the list of things Alyssa has broken... my flip. I'm so mad. It was charging in the usb port when she decided to pull it out and mangle it. It actually still works, but the usb plug is broken and can't close. Thanks a lot, Alyssa. I think I have to send it back to the company, so they can fix it. They are supposed to call me tomorrow to let me know that it's gonna cost as much or more than buying a new one  how much it will cost to fix it. Again, thanks Alyssa.

So, I think I might need to buy a trampoline for my backyard. I know that they are dangerous, I know that I will then be giving an invite to every single kid in our neighborhood to come over and jump on it (I know this cuz we do it to my neighbor), but I think my kids will love it! 

Check out Alyssa on my Mom's little trampoline:

See how tired she was getting from all that jumping....  more time on the trampoline... less time breaking things in my house.... might be a good thing.

The List

Husband told me that the guys at work thought I was being a little too nice to him on my blog. They were expecting a little more sarcasm and less niceties... Well Bob, this blog's for you.

When Jon and I were dating, a million years ago, he had this list. The list of things he "started." Things that weren't popular till he did them, fashion trends he started (yeah, I know...), musicians he discovered first.... Of course he didn't really start all these things, but it made him happy to think so, so I went along with it. Bear with me because it's been a really long time since I thought about....

The List Of Things Jon Started:

1. corduroy baseball hats (I know. who wants em... but apparently popular at some point in time)

2. girbaud jeans...



3. SUVs... apparently Jon was the first person to own one. Chevy Blazer. 1994. He owned it, I drove it.



4. Tel Aviv Deep Dish Pizza*... Jon discovered this tasty (or nasty- you choose) pizza, along with...
*did you click on it? see the rating? read the review?



5. Tel Aviv Fried Cauliflower... and shared it with all of Chicago.



6. John Mayer... This one may actually be true. and not only did he "start" John Mayer he actually was his groupie, and went to 3 concerts in one year... The milwaukee one...uggggh...no air conditioning.



And more recently:

7. IPODs... Jon had the original ipod... a $500 gift from his boss. Jon introduced them to the world.

8. facebook... he claims he was on way before anyone else.... I'm not kidding.

9. twitter... I know. ridiculous.



I'm sure there are a few of you out there that think you "started" something.... feel free to make your list in the comments...


Especially you J-Rose. Let's hear your list.... I know you think you were the one who made Pearl Jam cool...
