Holy Random Batman. Random Tuesday

So I'm doing my usual today, talking on the phone, catching up on all my friends chit chat and A random Call to my day.

Mom Called, she might be coming to visit.

More Random? 15-25cm of snow coming. (that's 10inches at the most for thsoe playing in the USA), I say most but really I know weather is as random as it gets. there will be either LOTS or less.


It's not Thanksgiving here this week, but I am cooking a turkey Saturday. I pointed this out to Mom. She says "why"? well it comes down to my two oldest. There are 2 American Holidays we celebrate in this house. July4th (a bit) and US Thanksgiving. WE even go so far as to send the Man to the US to shop. It depends of course on the prices and the weather and the Random store openings.


Let me see more Random?
I'm cleaning house. I've got 1 Santa on a door way to the basement, and a Runner on my coffe table with a Winter Theme (sleighs and trees and houses) I've also got a Clearance Priced Turkey sitting on the top of my Bakers rack and in all the cleanig? I found some Valentines still hanging from a shelf. See that? Random Decorating. It also sadly points out just how little cleaning I do in the run of a year.

Also if y ou don't look in mirrors very often? you wont noticed the spots on them.
Oh and for more Random? I'm still in my PJS! but hey no dentist visits.

Did I mention it was my Birthday last week? Random :P but yearly

I'm a Female

"Heck Yes, I'm a female. I push doors that clearly say PULL. I laugh harder when I try to explain why I'm laughing. I walk into a room and forget why I was there. I count on my fingers. I hide the pain from my loved ones. I say it is a long story, when it really is not, just to get out of having to tell it. I cry a lot more than you think I do. I care about people who don't care about me. I am strong because I have to be, not because I want to be. I listen to you, even when you don't listen to me. And a hug will always help. Yes, I'm a girl!!!!! Re-post if you're a lady and proud!" --original poster unknown

 

I saw this today on a Friend's facebook status, and honestly my jaw hit the floor. Why is it that women put themselves down? Why is it that they repeat these things in a social media? I was completely lost on how to reply to this with a comment but I did. I know the poster is an awesome woman with a fabulous daughter. She's also completed a Business degree and works hard for her daughter and herself. Continuing to copy and paste this status teaches younger women what exactly?

I don't mind a woman being emotional, and showing their feelings. Tears, laughter, and showing your feelings are healthy, everyone should give it a try,  but we don't know the complete story ever. That's not even the part that bothers me. Yes women can be strong and work hard for themselves and their families and show their feelings but when did it become part of being a woman to be forgetful, unable to do Math or push a pull door? Within 4 sentences "I'm female" became I'm stupid? 

I'm a female and if you take time to get the time to know me? You'll figure out how to describe me and just how different "I" am from any other person you meet, male or female. 

Random Going ons

I meant to post the new yesterday but I got side tracked (again) by answering all my Birthday wishes on FB. Happy Birthday to me. Well yesterday. I'm still getting messages today. I think FB made Birthdays better. How else could a person feel like the center of the universe.

I also took one son to the Dentist, yes on a Wednesday. Those that have been reading a while realize we usually do Tuesday Dentists but well it just happened to be a Wednesday. When I booked it I booked it on my Birthday so I wouldn't forget. Birthdays make it hard to forget appointments.

I picked up the boys  about 5minutes early from school and we had Lunch at a local restaurant. The boys were so nicely behaved. I love it that they are getting older and learning how to keep themselves entertained and ordering for themselves. It's so very nice and calming. I don't cook, I don't do dishes and everyone gets to eat what they want. YAY! Taking the kids also lowers the "Drink" bill. LOL 

I dropped hubbie back off to work and we did the dentist thing, and picked up a few treats. :) It was such a great" me" day.  We got home and my oldest arrived home, his Wednesdays are longer school days than the younger ones.  After school snacks, leftovers for supper, YAY! no cooking, And hubbie arrived with the cake pictured above. hmmmmmm cheese cake. Brownieshmmmmmmm and carmel sauce.

Hubbie is participating in Movember this year, if you'd like ot make a donation to his group/his page please follow this link. It's also a chance to introduce you to my Hubbie.

The younger boys are also getting into the Movember spirit. They have decided Cool Whip Mustaches are Cool too.  Happy Thursday.
