Watched the show off the PVR on Sunday (sorry had too much "fun" at the birthday party). All reviews are my Opinion only and not meant to cause hurt or anything else. *WARNING* If you have not yet watched the show DO NOT read any further because there are spoilers amongst my opinions. They include the results show.

Kherington & Twitch opened up what I would call a mediocre show. Of course these two did a GREAT job with a Hip Hop routine. This couple always makes me smile. BOTH SAFE.

Gev and Courtney were up next and I have to say Gev has grown on me. Courtney has been a fav of mine from the start so no suprise there. They did a Rumba and got off to a wierd start with Courtney’s dress getting stuck on her shoe (which btw wasn’t mentioned by the judges) The music choice was poor and I kept getting this urge to run over and cover her up as her costume was only half there (gosh I am getting old lol) But they did great with what they had BOTH SAFE.

Comfort & Chris came on stage with a Jazz number. I actually liked it a little but the judges didn’t (we weren’t on the same page most of the time) BOTTOM 3 for both CHRIS was ELIMINATED.

Jessica and Will came out to do a Disco dance which I really didn’t like at all. BOTH SAFE.

Kourtni and Matt danced a Contemporary routine that looked more like Jazz or Hip Hop. Was a cute dance but since I am not used to that style of Contemporary I didn’t like it too much. BOTTOM 3 for both BOTH SAFE.

Chelsea T. and Thayne did a Quick step. Now I like this couple alot but I thought their dance was so-so. The judges did not like it either. BOTTOM 3 for both CHELSEA ELIMINATED. Which means poor Thayne is going to get stuck with Comfort whom I don’t care for.

Chelsie H. and Mark came up next and BLEW me away!!!!!! The did a Hip Hop dance that was AWESOME!!!!! Napoleon and Tabitha ROCK as choreographers LOVE these two!!!!!! The story behind this dance was awesome the dancers were in tune and showed soooooo much emotion. They get a standing O from me. Brought tears to my eyes they were so believeable!!!! BOTH SAFE!!!!!!!

Joshua & Katee rocked their dance as always. This couple has been the most consistent throughout the competition. They danced a Samba and they were amazing. Joshua was soo on the ball that he shocked me. They were very sexy together and dnaced a great dance. They were put on the HOT TAMALE TRAIN by Mary!!!! This couple ROCKED. BOTH SAFE.

So there you have my thoughts and opinions on the best dance show out there!!!!!!! Until next week (lol in 3 days)…….

Over at blogthings

Here is my results

What Jennifer Means
You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.
You never give up, and you will succeed… even if it takes you a hundred tries.
You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings.
You are able to be a foundation for other people… but you still know how to have fun.
Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

all is quiet when out of no where the baby starts screaming which wakes my middle child who is super excited to go to a friends birthday party today. She wants a countdown every 5 minutes of when we are going to be leaving. I have 5,000 things to do to get ready including getting my son out of bed, feeding the baby, bathing the baby, blog, and get myself cleaned up (at this moment I look like I fell out of bed, and I feel like it too). Oh yeah and run a few errands before we actually go to the party. But I am SuperMom so it will get done :-)

Can’t wait to see my daughter on her birthday in a few weeks. Then she will want a countdown of when everyone will be coming over. Don’t they sell programmable countdown clocks somewhere? That would save me a ton of time lol.

After the party its my wind down time. Steak and wine and catching up on the DVR shows (including SYTYCD) Ahh I love Saturdays, its the one day where my husband and I can just chill out, float in the pool and let all our cares slip away (they don’t really go far).

Hope whoever is reading this has a good weekend :-)

Well ever since I was pregnant with my last daughter I have craved chocolate. I never used to like it all that much but I was hoping that craving would stop after the baby. But noooooo it had to carry over to now and lately my chocolate craving has been bad. Chocolate muffins, chocolate chips and chocolate pudding. Can’t get enough of it lol and the real funny thing is I am getting mad at the wii fit for saying I haven’t lost any weight……well duh!!!!!!!

So starting next week (hey the weekends coming up I always indulge on the weekends) enough with the chocolate and I will begin a heavy duty wii fit bonanza. Stay tuned I may have a wii machine that has pissed me off for sale :-)

Well summer is definitly in full swing here in Florida. And because of our moving situation I will not be hardcore homeschooling throught the summer like I wanted to. Instead I will have the kids reading and doing book reports until we get settled in our new place. Which should keep them busy for a bit and will be good for my son seeing as all he wants to do is sleep until noon and play video games. Got to light a motivation candle under him a little.

If anyone homeschools check out this page on my main site to find tons of links to what helps me along in this endeavor. And please share your comments on how things are for you if you do homeschool.

Woke up and the weather was good but quickly turned into a blah kind of day. You know the kind where you just want to stay in bed curled up in a little ball under the covers. Wish I could………

So I am in the process of getting the girls birthday parties together. Big A wants a Camp Rock party and I told her that the movie was too new and they probably wouldn’t have any decorations out yet. LOL Just as I said that I get an email from a party place and guess what…..they have them. So Camp Rock it is.

Little A will just have a cake that she can bury her hands and face in. She won’t know too much about what is going on. I can’t believe she will be one soon. Seems like just yesterday…….

Watched the show off the PVR on Sunday (sorry was on vacation). All reviews are my Opinion only and not meant to cause hurt or anything else. *WARNING* If you have not yet watched the show DO NOT read any further because there are spoilers amongst my opinions. They include the results show.

First up are Thayne & Chelsea T. dancing a Jazz routine. I wasn’t too thrilled with this so-so performance.  Which sucks because I like them well enough. I thought their costumes were cool even if the judges didn’t. BOTTOM 3 for both, BOTH SAFE.

Mark and Chelsie H. are up next with a Tango routine. Good dance was definitely sexy enough. BOTH SAFE.

Jessica & Will took the stage with a Hip Hop number. The dancing was okay enough I didn’t like the routine though. Not a big Jessica fan. BOTH SAFE.

Matt & Kourtni L. are up next doing the Fox Trot. They have great chemistry together but I thought the dance was boring. BOTH SAFE.

Gev & Courtney did a contemporary dance that was great. They both mesh well together. Courtney is still one of my favs for the females and Gev is growing on me. BOTH SAFE.

Katee & Joshua kicked butt all over the stage with a Broadway routine the was extremely entertaining. Awesome again, totally love them, danced in time together. The judges were very funny during their review and they loved them too. BOTH SAFE.

Susie & Marquis came onstage next and did a Salsa number. They looked completely uncomfortable onstage and I hated this dance. I am suprised too since it was Susie’s style. Not a big Susie fan. BOTH bottom 3 BOTH ELIMINATED. Good choice America. <——-my opinion

Twitch & Kherington did the most beautiful Viennese Waltz for their choreographers daughter. Their dancing was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. Loved her dress too. Standing ovation for this couple. Go Twitch!!!! BOTH SAFE.

Comfort & Chris were the last ones to go. Nigel had me cracking up on his review. Because I agreed with him I did not like this and thought Comfort would do better. Not a big Comfort fan. BOTTOM 3 for both, BOTH SAFE. 

So there you have it my thoughts and opinions on the BEST dance show out there. Stay tuned next week…

Well we have reached that sad time when vacation is over and we get back to reality. I was ready for it. The baby was good but had her moments and it’s hard dealing with a squirming baby (especially when it rains lol). But we had a real good time. Much needed I say.

Friday we just stayed at the hotel and it was alot of fun. So much to do and its always fun staying on Disney property. Saturday we went to Animal Kingdom where it was sooooooo hot and there were soooooo many people. We didn’t get to go on much and while in a show it started to storm so when we got out it was pouring. That pretty much decided that we were going back to the hotel.

That night Rob and I took the kids to a fancy restaurant for our Anniversary dinner. Best food I have had in a long time (well, besides Rob’s steaks & chicken) and it was a very enjoyable experience. The baby was good and the other two kids didn’t fight. The waiter was on top of the ball and very friendly. Overall a very nice time. Very relaxed now. Back to reality……

Now we have to buckle down and get going. We will be moving August 1st so I need to get on the ball here and get packing. And have Big A & Little A’s birthday parties in the middle. Oh well I can do it I am super mom right?!? :-)

Anyway I am back and will be popping on here and there regularly again. Need to finish SYTYCD on the DVR so will post that tomorrow. 

I feel like a little kid right now. Tomorrow we go on our mini vacation to Disney. I always get excited going to Disney for a couple of reasons.

1- I feel the magic every time I go to any of their parks. I get those butterfly feelings in my stomach that tend to make me revert back to being a kid.

2- I love seeing all that magic through my children’s eyes. Little A will be seeing this for the first time and she has such a personality now that I am excited to see how she is going to react. She flips out when watching The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and sees Mickey on the TV, so I can’t wait to see what happens in real life :-)

So on our mini vacation Rob & I will hit our 10 year Anniversary. In hitting that mark I am reflecting on what a good man my hubby is. I made a perfect choice in him and he has given me the one thing that means the most to me and that is a family. My husband and my kids are my life and I love them all greatly!!!!!!!!! So here’s to relaxing and enjoying ourselves and our kids and here’s to 10 wonderful, magical years married to my best friend. 

Yesterday started out normal, well normal if you consider a baby waking you at 3am and not going back to sleep, normal for me. My sister usually calls everyday at 8am but my phone rang at 7:15. Turns out she was in the hospital and needed me to watch her babies so she could have surgery for a ruptured hernia. Well duh! I can watch your kids.

So I had a mini day care going here yesterday. My 3 and her 2, what a mad house. But I made it through with little more than a headache and thankfully my sister is gonna be ok.

But it made me stop and think. Life can really throw you for a loop sometimes. I mean you sit here and think of all the things you need to accomplish in a day and when something happens it all comes to a screeching halt. I for one really wish we didn’t have to pack our days full of things that need to get done, when you do life passes you by.

Ok enough of my ramblings. A saying I saw awhile ago is perfect for now. It is:

Your alive…… so live.
