Your HOT

Embarrassing, yet a bit funny when your neighbor comes to tell you, your seven year old son and six year old nephew were whistling at her through the window last week! My son yelled out his window to the neighbor, "Hey Cassie, my cousin thinks your HOT"! My nephew, quick to his defense said loud enough for the neighbor to hear "I didn't say that, you did".

They both ducked out of sight and peeked through the window enough to send catcalling whistles to my neighbor. She told the boys, I can still see you, they both ducked and giggled.

This morning at breakfast, I asked my son, what the comment and whistling was all about??

Mom: Were you whistling at Cassie last week?
Son: I can't remember...
Mom: Did you yell out your window, your cousin thinks she is hot?
Son(with a shit eat'n grin) Yes....
Mom: What do you know about being hot??
Son: (no response, look of a deer in headlights...busted!)

And so it begins, my son's admiration for women. Well, actually I think it began few years ago, when my son was five. He was outside playing with the girl from next door, when she bent over to grab a toy, my son took it upon himself to spank her booty! The mother caught him and said "We don't hit". My son's quick response was "She had a bug on her butt"!

For the record, these are not behaviors he learns at home, his father is a gentleman and does not catcall whistle for me or smack my butt (well, not in front of the kids).

I think my son has a thing for blondes, both the girls in this story are blonde hotties who's names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Almost Back to School

We are finally in the last leg of the race, in seven days, my kiddies go BACK TO SCHOOL!!! They are happy, I am happy, my wallet on the other hand is not so happy! I dread back to school shopping.

I was very proactive this year and spared myself the mental break down; however there is still some clothes shopping to do. I love to shop, I can spend hours browsing and strolling around the mall, but when I take my Diva teenage daughter and seven year old son clothes shopping it is always a grueling and exhausting experience!

My fashion forward seven year old son is quite the Fashionisto. He knows what trends are in and loves anything name brand. His style is a mix of Rocker meets Skater. I try to do his clothes shopping alone, because if the hubster comes along, then my son ends up with ridiculous items like a "Fedora". Yes, a Fedora!! He set his eyes on this beauty while shopping for spring clothes; my hubby caved and bought it. It is safe to say that my hubby lives vicariously through our son?

Diva on the other hand is a totally different story, even though she is not into name brands, her motto is as long as it fits and looks good, she will wear it. She inherited my body, curvy and busty; not the easiest to dress! She gets frustrated very quickly and it's all down hill from there. The saving grace this year is we started early and are almost done with her clothes shopping. But now she wants a new phone...does it ever end?

Before leaving for work this morning, my hubby did say for me to keep my eye out for anything I needed for my trip to VEGAS in October, so I guess it won't be so bad to take the kiddies shopping after all; Momma needs a new pair of shoes!

Fabulous Friday Finds

I finally had it, finito, finished, caput...my dieting ways and exercising regiment was not working, so I stopped!

After what seemed like the most liberating week and a half, I stepped on the scale this morning and Hot Damn, I had lost 1.5 pounds. I will take it; after all a loss is a loss, right?

I was besides myself, really at awe. I have been working hard for months to lose 25by35. I am tickled pink and a wee bit closer to my goal. I am ready to try new things, like half the calorie Cocktails.

After reflecting on how I managed push past my plateau, I remembered that due to the medication I was taking from my ridiculous Sinusitis. I was not suppose to drink while on meds, so I refrained from drinking these past two weeks, which I think may have led to the loss.

Let's face it giving up cocktails or even happy hour is no fun, so I searched the Internet and this is what I found...."SkinnyTinis, All The Fun For Half The Calories", by Teresa Marie Howes.



Hello Gorgeous, where have you been all my life??

I will take one for the team (sarcasm of course) and try a half calorie cocktail this weekend. I will be sure to report back. Have a Fabulous Friday!!!

Smooches!!
