Sahara lost her FIRST TOOTH

This tooth has been loose for several weeks. Yesterday, I think she finally had it and just started wiggling it. Then when the bleeding started she got all FREAKED OUT so Mommy to the rescue and I just pulled on it very lightly....out it came. She didn't quite understand all the blood but was okay after about 2 minutes...lol! She was so proud...so was I! Everyone was saying how young she was to loose her first tooth but Lil Man was 4 too!

I did remember to be the tooth fairy last night. Woohoo because I've been having a hard time with that w/Lil Man.

She is still talking about it today and loves to play with the hole in her mouth. I do that too.

New Week-Right???

Well it's Monday and I really need a fresh start.

Last week SUCKED-the robbery and dealing w/aftermath with the kids. Lil Mama still needs one of us to take her to the bathroom and upstairs. She is afraid of little noises too. Lil Man just keeps a bat by his bed.

Week before that SUCKED-Sick in bed for almost 4 days. However, this cough sure wants to hang around.

Can I please have a GREAT WEEK?? Yes, I can. I have smile on my face and not stressing on all the little things helps a lot. I'm doing marketing for a cafe customer, Ron's Airbrush site, and my Bargain Shopping site every day so I feel I'm getting stuff accomplished.

On this Saturday Ron is setting up at an Little League event in Redwood City and we got this gig by my networking so very happy about that. Money Money Money but exposure is what we really need.

I'm working on my Motivation Mojo...on my 13th day (out of 21). I've been battling with myself on not letting the robbery and sickness get in my way of learning and completing this workshop.

This week I want to get some things organized.

I walked in on a Burglary

at my house! Very scary stuff. Every minute something different pops in my head and I keep going over everything that happened. Stressing big time. Tomorrow will be a better day.

I didn't cry in front to the kids but I sure did break down when they went to bed. Which was not an easy task. I'm talking about putting them to bed. They didn't feel comfortable being alone so they fell asleep downstairs with us.

I'm going to write more about this tomorrow because how I feel right now is giving me a HUGE headache and I just want to rest. I'm sure I won't sleep very well but who would.

Email I got: ARE YOU MARRIED TO YOUR HOUSEKEEPING OPPOSITE

Ummmm YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My hubby bless his heart is slob yep I said it! Our room reflects our cleaning personnalites. My side all dusted, things put where they are suppose to be, no clothes on floor, nice and neat! Hubby's side has clothes, beer cans, food wrappers, papers, newspaper and other garbage. I've cleaned the whole room a 1000 times but I think after 1001 I said FORGET IT. I would clean and put away his stuff and the next day garbage all over again. So I gave up! I know some people will say WTF your his wife you should clean his side of room....no I don't! I've been with my hubby for 10 yrs and about 5 yrs ago I gave up on this fight. Someday I hope this will change but for now it works. It's quite funny in my house because every space my hubby has is a HOT MESS. We have a U shaped desk and I have one side and Ron has one side. Guess what it looks like...yep messy on his side and clean and organized on my side. Then there is the garage where he airbrushes...omg I don't even know why customers come back because that is plain DIRTY! I gave up because he doesn't care and he has told me that. This is one thing I'm going to try to work on and get over my resentment with my hubby. I need to let some crap go. I just don't feel like I have to pick up after a grown man but if I want a clean house I'm going to have to, lol! Not sure when but I will tackle this issue!

The email was a about a book at Barnes and Noble: Busy Mom's Guide to a Happy, Organized Home: Fast Solutions to Hundreds of Everyday Dilemmas.

Lil Mama loves me....

all the way to Africa! I always say "Sahara, Mommy loves you all the way to the moon" so the other day she tells me that she loves me all the way to Africa! How cute!

Flu Flu Flu go away

Wow that was horrible. For 2 days I was bed ridden and looked scary! My hubby stepped up (woohoo) and took my place this week in the kids life. He's usually in the background playing video games, on the computer, or painting. So with me out of commission someone had to run this house and he did it. Yes, of course I had to hear how tired he was working and then coming home dealing w/kids, dinner, homework, and clean-up. Hey dude I do this everyday I know how tiring it is but it needs to be done!

Tomorrow, I do have a lot of catch up on housework and laundry but its not as bad as I was thinking. On Friday I was suppose to go to a field trip w/Ronnell's school and I'm still debating on going but my hubby promises to go. We have to drive our own kids so one parent has to go at least.

When I get up and do things the sweats still get me and I get all dizzy. Tomorrow I better be able to clean w/o passing out!

Thanks to all my friends for all their good thoughts!!!

Who has 8200 emails????

I do...geesh do you think I need to clean out my inbox! But that takes up way too much time. Eye Roll Eye Roll....I'm going to start working on it tonight. Maybe I might be more productive if I didn't have clutter on my computer too! Need to set up new folders and DELETE DELETE!

My Zumba Classes

Went to my 2nd class last night and still lovin it! I couldn't get down as low as the teacher wanted me to but I still did a damn good job. It was easier this time but the steps are hard to follow when its in fast mode. Or it could just me....I pretty sure its just me. I've always had a hard time figuring out dance steps when being taught. I still have to question right and left when I'm doing the steps, ugh! I am dedicated to do this for 12 weeks! I will post every week to let my family/friends know I'm still going strong!

I also do Wii Fit and My Fitness coach 2-4x a week. Getting ready for summer and some cute clothes....no mommy clothes! Watch out world!

18 Unexpected Organizers~Great Article

My house is in dire need of a SPRING cleaning so I'm getting all my good advice from the web & magazines. Today I came across an article about Unexpected Organizers and they had some awesome ideas.

That should bring you right to the article.

My "fav" is : #14. Empty suitcases are a missed opportunity! Remember, there are some things you just don’t need to unpack, like your travel hairdryer, electric adapters, sleep mask, neck pillow, earplugs and your restocked travel makeup kit.

I also use my suitcases to store clothes I'm not wearing. I don't travel much, lol!

Ants...GO AWAY!!!

It's been raining for weeks here and the last 2 days we've had STROMS so these lil annoying ants been trying to come in our house and kick it! Ummm NO WAY! They love the bathroom and the kitchen. Nothing for them to be munching on but I hate ants in my house. It doesn't help that this damn house plus every other house on this block is on an ant community. All my neighbors have the same problem. My landlord sprays around the house every couple months so that helps a lot but this rain is not helping the NO ANTS rule in my house.
