Birthday Cookout

Well tomorrow is my 29th birthday, generally I'm claiming to be 25 still. Don't judge, I'm sure you've done it at some point too! So last night we had a birthday cookout. Sooo much fun! I have truly amazing friends who always manage to make things not only special but also highly entertaining! I'd have to say one of the highlights of the evening was the unwrapping of my gift. Now if you know me at all then you know that I hate to be the center of attention. This is something that I try to avoid at all cost! Do my friends know this about me? Yep! Do they care? Nope! So after using every possible excuse I could come up with to not go outside and be put in the spotlight, my lovely friends decide to bring the present, wrapped in Justin Bieber paper, (my payback from Christmas! Thanks Shannon!) inside where I could no longer hide. I will admit to cheating though. I enlisted the help of about 7 kids! And it's a good damn thing too cause this thing was sealed up tighter than Alcatraz! It was wrapped, and boxed, and duct taped I don't know how many times! Again, a little bit of payback for my Christmas wrapping this year! Due to some technical difficulties, there are no videos of this! Thank goodness! So the end result? This cute little netbook that I am now blogging on! I am so excited! I haven't really been able to do much writing lately since the computer is in the bedroom and there are 6 kids in this house. Kinda hard to make sure nobody is trying to burn the house down when I'm at the back of the house! So now, thanks to my awesome, amazing, fantastic friends, I can blog again!!!!

So much to say, so little time to type

First off, please everybody head over to my other blog Mommy's Naughty Side and check out my latest review for Good Vibrations. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Secondly, I know I've been missing again lately. I promise I have a good reason this time. Tuesday was Jordyn's 8th birthday. Wow, that still seems amazing to me! Anyways, we were in the car running some errands when my hubby asks her what she wants to do for her bday. Her answer? Go see her Grandparents and Aunt and Uncle, who live an hour away. So off we go to go visiting. Luckily, they were home cause we didn't even stop to call. That was Tuesday, we didn't come home until Thursday and that was just long enough to shower and grab a few things. Then we were on the road again. We stayed another night and came home Friday afternoon. During this time there were no naps for the little ones and Holly had to sleep with me. This means that each night the kids didn't go to bed until at least midnight. As nice and fun as it was to visit, even I was crying to come home eventually, literally!

Then on Saturday we met at a half way point at a really pretty little  park, and had Jordyn's birthday party. It was small this year but a complete success! See, I had a totally legit reason for being absent from you all.

Last but certainly not least, the wonderfully Cinful Cinnamon has presented me with The Versatile Blogger Award. Muawww....kisses, kisses, thank you so much! If you haven't checked her out yet you're so missing out. So get your butt over there to visit with her, I'll wait......Ok, you back? See, I told you she was awesome!



Ok, now on to the rules for receiving this amazing award.



1. Thank the person who gave the award and link back to them in your post.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass this award along to 15 recently discovered blogs. 

 

Ok, I did my thank you's

Now, 7 things about myself...

1. I have 2 half brothers, 1 half sister, 2 step brothers and 1 step sister, but I didn't really grow up with any of them.

2. My hubby is my only real adult relationship.

3. My favorite color is baby blue. Which might explain my weakness for blue eyes.

4. I constantly second guess myself, which makes making decisions really difficult sometimes.

5. I just discovered I have a slight flair for writing erotic blog posts.

6. I'm shy so I don't make friends quickly but once I do I'm fiercely loyal to them.

7. I have so many things stored up in my brain that I would love to write about, but I'm too afraid of certain people reading them. They say to write what you know and some may not appreciate what I know. 

Now the hardest part, to pass this along to 15 blogs. If I don't mention you it's not because you're not amazing it's just because there are so many of you.
