New items in my shop
This is one of the few items I've listed in my shop but have been torn between having it listed or tearing down the listing and just keeping the nachaq for myself. I love it so much.

my heart is melting
i wonder what i've done to deserve my wonderful monsters.
lately, for the past several months miss monster has been saying, "thank you," anytime we/i do anything for her.
~thank you for making us dinner
~thank you for getting us ice cream
~thank you for letting me play with _____
~thank you for helping me
well tonight i had to clean the boy's room so i started w/ the baby monster's room.
went out to the hallway, did that and then started on mr. monster man's room.
when i was 1/2 way done they came upstairs to get ready for bed.
mr. monster man said, "wow! you're cleaning our rooms?"
i said, "i guess so since it will never get done otherwise."
and then miss monster said, "thank you mommy for starting on our rooms so they can get clean," and gave me a big hug.
they decided they were going to have a sleep over in mr. monster man's room.
i tucked them in and gave her a hug and kiss. she said, "you're the best mommy in the whole world. i'm so happy i have a mommy like you. i love you more than anything."
i just want to cry and i don't know. hold her. keep her this way because i am terrified of the teenage years and what is to come.

Something that should be posted in every school
Rule 1 Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss !
Rule 5 Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parent's fault , so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
Rule 12: Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look moronic. Next time you're out cruising, watch an 11-year-old with a butt in his mouth. That's what you look like to anyone over 20. Ditto for "expressing yourself' with purple hair and/or pierced body parts.
Rule 13: You are not immortal. (See Rule No. 12.) If you are under the impression that living fast, dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse is romantic, you obviously haven't seen one of your peers at room temperature lately.
Rule 14:Enjoy this while you can. Sure parents are a pain, school's a bother, and life is depressing. But someday you'll realize how wonderful it was to be a kid. Maybe you should start now. You're welcome.

Some of my Favorites
SmellyRhino
http://smellyrhino.etsy.com
http://smellyrhinostudio.artfire.com
I was born on one coast and raised on the other. I love water, the outdoors and people!
My first art project was a frog stuffed with beans. Jr. High Home Ec produced a rather large pillow shaped like a hamburger and bun! After college, I started an apparel company with my Mom. It was a great time in our lives and provided the fuel for the entrepenuer in me! Then I
moved to Atlanta and transitioned to interior design working at a furniture store. It was there I decided to ignite the entrepenuer again and I started a business doing decorative finishing since making people happy is what makes me happy!I paint interiors including faux finishing, murals and trompe l'oeil. I still love design, especially kids rooms! I don't have any children, so that must be why I relate to them so well, because I never had to grow up! When I'm not at a private home making the walls beautiful, I paint in my studio and create whatever makes me happy.
I love dogs. Dogs are cool.
I love music. I play guitar a little.
I love to sing. I've been told I do it even when I don't realize.
I love food and cooking, but especially eating.
I love toys and swings, and things that make you remember not to grow too old too fast.
I love my family and remembering fondly what made me this way!
I hold hope that my love of life, fun, good people (and my belief in karma) will continue to bless me and carry me adventurously for another half a century!
Look at these places for more of me!

This happened to my good friend. PLEASE be careful!!!
This is so scary. It happened to my good friend and this is not a joke. She has given me permission to put her post on my blog to help warn others out there.
We had a big scare on Thursday night.
We were awakened at midnight by a woman who was at our front door.
She said her name was Tiffiny, a street girl and she was scared. DH said to stay there & he'd call the police. She kept saying to open the door. DH told me to check the kids & make sure they didn't wake up.
When I went to their room, I could hear men talking !
They were in the back of the house.
DH told the police the girl was not alone.
So she is knocking on the front, now there was knocking on the back door too !! We could hear the police helicopter,
Our motion lights started going on. When the police came,
the people were gone. They did catch a girl & some guys on the next street. There wasn't any police reports.
We couldn't give a description.
We found out on Friday that someone was rattling doors on some neighbors houses before they came to our house. Checking to see if any were unlocked.
Thankfully we didn't open the door.
Who knows what they had in mind.
I was so damn scared. When I heard those guys talking
by the kids room, I almost flipped out !!
My kids bunk bed is right against the window.
I grabbed the kids & put them on the floor in my room.
I later told DH that the reason I didn't look out the windows, was because I was scared that they would shoot if they saw anyone look out the windows.
This weekend, DH hooked the cameras up again.
We have 3 cameras that he hooked up when he started traveling
1 shows the front door & garage, the other the back door, the 3rd the driveway.
If this ever happens to you,
DON'T OPEN THE DOOR !!
Not even if you hear a baby cry or a kids voice.
That's how they get you to open your door.

Remember when...?
If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning. Uphill... barefoot..
BOTH ways yadda, yadda, yadda.
I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay
a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.
You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!
There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter, with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox or go to the post office and it would take like a week to get there!
There were no MP3' s or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Play station video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen...Forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
You had to use a Little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you Hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!
And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had to use the stove ... Imagine that!
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy.
You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!
