Six Word Saturday- Come join us!


Come join me at Show My Face for Six Word Saturday.
Here's my entry:

I wish I could sleep in.

In my "pre-kiddie" years, I took full advantage of how great sleep was.  I went out late, woke up early, pulled all-nighters.  It was not a problem.  I knew at SOME point during the week, I would make up for it.  Fast forward 8 years.  Sleep, I miss you.  I just can get enough of you and I AM TRULY SORRY I took advantage of you all these years.

came over here from 6WS; love it! I know what you mean; not sure the age of your kids, but you do get more sleep once they are in that 6-11 year old range unless they are sick or not feeling good, but then you lose it again once they get to be teens and you are waiting for them to come home with curfew. Of course then they will be the ones wanting to sleep until noon. Hoping you can catch an occasional nap here and there!

It does get easier and you do eventually get your mornings back, but it is really tough while they're young.
And a simple woman is right (I know that sentence looks strange)they do eventually want to sleep later than you do. Then is a good time to make a lot of noise in the morning.

Take it from me: Sleep's over-rated. I don't think I've ever slept more that 5 hrs at a stretch in my life.

Some day when those little ones are grown and out of the house you can sleep in again - as I did today. But then you'll be willing to give up the sleep to have them back. :) You just can't win.

Aww, me too! Someday our houses will be empty again though and we'll miss this. Or at least that is what I'm telling myself while I chug coffee.

Found and am following you through Six Word Saturday!

Why oh why when I was in elementary, the old folks would exerts so much efforts to remind me to sleep between 2-4PM. To no avail, I preferred to play and roam around during this unholy hours. Now, I wish I had the luxury of sleep. Sleep, sorry I just took you for granted.

I don't have kids but I have cats. They also don't seem to understand that sometimes I stay up too late or have a rough day. They expect crunchies at the same time every morning.

Thanks for playing 6WS!

"Hers-Day" Review and Giveaway!

My little peanut has be screaming since the minute she woke up.  Poor baby is teething and miserable!  I totally get it, but Mommy needs a break. Today I need to take a few minutes for myself, cuz it's gonna be a LOONG day.  So as the "princess" sleeps, I am going to take a scream-free shower. This is what I use to spoil myself a little. I love this stuff!  It has a mild and fresh scent and leaves my skin silky smooth.  It lathers up nicely and is easy to shave with.  I have used this since high school.  Sometimes the smell helps me forget for a few minutes that I am a 30-something with kids (that is until someone knocks at the door to tell on his brother!). For my second giveaway, I would like share Neutrogena Rain Bath with one of my readers. Let's pretend we are back in high school together! :) <a href="http://rafl.es/enable-js">You need javascript enabled to see this giveaway</a&amp...

Review and Giveaway- Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Let's just get this clear.  I have NO talent when it comes to anything cosmetic.  I can't apply eyeshadow, I look stupid in lipstick, and cannot paint my nails without smudging.  So you can believe how excited I was when I found Sally Hansen Salon Effects in my local drugstore. The Salon Effects are essentially stickers, although SH calls then "polish strips". They vary in color, and designs.  Some are basic and others are WILD.  I have tried Wild Child (a zebra-like print) and It Girl (solid pinkish color). For this review, I applied Bling It On to my toes.  You know I must really love you guys to post pictures of my feet!  Each box of Salon Effects comes with 16 Nail Polish Strips (in case you make a mistake), a cuticle stick, and a double sided nail file and buffer. 1. I prepped my toes by filing, shaping, and wiping them with nail polish remover . 2. I took off the clear protective cover and pulled the polish ...

Back to school

Do you remember how you felt the first day of school?    I was always excited, but really nervous.  Who is my teacher?  Is she nice?  Do I have friends in class with me? This morning I watched my older children start school.  Again I had the same feelings.  Who are their teachers? Will they be nice?  Will they take the time to understand my children.  Will my boys make new friends? I anxiously awaited their return today.  I could not wait to hear about their day.  Can you guess what response I got? "It was good." That's it!  After all that worrying and anxious energy I exerted, all I got what that school was "good" and "can I have a snack?" Gotta love kids!  Hopefully they will not grow up to be a worry wart like their mom.
