My first guest spot! How fun is that? You can see my first guest post over on Out Of The Extraordinary today. Stop over there and see what I had to say, because you know I always have a lot to say.
Your Life Spelled Out 2010‘s journaling prompt is so easy for me today.
Our prompt for today is What Gets On Your LAST Nerve/ or What Pushes Your Buttons?
We all have things that do. While traveling I always have the opportunity to be reminded of some of my biggest button pushers (smile).
Like rude people for example..
Bet you’ll never guess what mine is. It’s a toss up between 2 actually.
1 – When my kids ignore me.
2 – My kids fighting all the time.
I’d call it just one and say my kids period, but you know that would be very un-mommy-like of me. I mean, I like them most of the time and all, they just have those moments like 24/7 where they do one of the above listed things that drives me crazy. Should I state here that I always love my children? You guys know that. 
I had to show you this cute Etsy shop I found. I have been looking for the perfect puppet for Jordan right? I was searching Etsy because you know all good things come from there. I came across Electrick Zoo who makes the most adorable sock puppets.
I’m not getting anything for telling you about this. I just love to share a cute product! Plus, like Jordan’s guidance counselor said, puppets are great tools for kids to use. They can talk through the puppet when they don’t feel comfortable talking about something themselves.
Of course I had to share the duck sockette, cuz ducks are near and dear to my heart. (Pato = duck in Spanish)
Look at the turtle!
How about one more -
That would probably be the one Jordan would want. The Blue Dragon. He loves dragons.
She hand makes every single sock puppet. I love them. She also has-
This cute panda bear hat my girls would love.
A Stick Puppet Party
Chinese New Year Stick Puppets
The World’s Best Sock Puppet Kit – that’s right, you can make your own sockette. I want one.
Jordan hasn’t see those yet. I’m waiting until payday. If I show them to him I’ll get hounded everyday about when he’s getting his puppet. Kind of like his marionette that we picked up yesterday. He had to wait until Sunday until the person who was giving it to us would be home to answer the door. Then the baby threw up all over me and he was so upset that we wouldn’t be able to go get it. Pato went and got it on break. Jordan is now the proud owner of a some might say scary Mexican clown in a sombrero marionette. Now he just needs to learn how to manipulate it. And keep it out of his sisters’ reach. I had to take it apart yesterday because Kat got the strings all tangled. I’m sure there is a way to untangle it without undoing all the strings, but I am not that smart a marionette expert.
That whole throwing up all over me thing, tell me how Christiano can get sick, it is on my shirt, on my pants, on my chair, IN MY HAIR, yet he hardly gets any on himself. It’s like murphy’s mommy law. If someone is going to throw up, it shall all land on the mommy.
I’m sitting there covered in it, look at Jordan and say, grab the baby. He said, I’m not touching him. Dude, he has a drop on him. I have to change, get it out of my hair. Jordan goes and grabs a blanket, wraps Christiano up in it, THEN he finally grabs him, facing out, because heaven forbid he spew all over Jordan 7 times in a row like he did me. Christiano is screaming. I run to find new clothes. Grab a towel, try to sponge off at the sink, put my hair under the faucet getting what I could out. Then back to Nano who clearly was not willing to let me take a shower. In fact, I did not get a shower until midnight when Pato got home. Gross.
Nano seems to be back to his normal self today. Thank goodness because I am not relishing the thought of another puke filled day.
Am I grossing you out yet? Sorry! If it happens, I blog it.
Who watched the grammys last night? I watched it with one ear and one eye as I rocked Christiano and tweeted.
First, Beyonce, what was that a crotch grab n bump? In a short dress? Really? That was like the most awkward moment of the night for me. When Alanis Morissette’s song came on, I was really hoping to see her pop out, but alas, a Beyonce/Alanis duet was not in the cards.
@ResourcefulMom cracked me up on Twitter when she said -
Beyonce does her best impression of an angry white girl from Canada. #grammys
Yeah, that was awesome. Other than Bon Jovi doing Living on a Prayer, I don’t remember much else from the show.
Somehow I missed Ricky Martin – was he on? He must have come on while I was putting the kids to bed. *sigh* I miss all the good stuff.
Highlight of my night? If you asked me to narrow down my list to my very favorite author, I would only be able to narrow it down to two. Laurell K Hamilton and Sherrilyn Kenyon. Lookie!
Yep, that’s right. Sherrilyn and me chatting up. We’re totally like BFFs now. Ok, possibly not. But, it still made me happy. I don’t think I could have been much happier than if Ricky Martin tweeted me back. I adore Sherrilyn!
Speaking of Ricky Martin -
Ricky, you know I <3 you and all right? Dude, I’m going to have to disagree with you. The crotch grab n bump does not a goddess make and she did not channel Alanis quite as well as Alanis channels Alanis and I wasn’t a huge fan of her dress. Other than that, I love Beyonce. (Ok, for real, I do really like Beyonce, just last night was weird for me.) Any other time Ricky, I’d agree with you, but in this case, we’ll have to agree to disagree.
Have a great day!

Read these too:
by Craig Ferguson. Speaking of whom, did you know he has 2 books out? Back to his book, I loved that one too!) The whole time your reading this, you keep thinking that Elle is going to be evil, that she has this horrible plot, that’s why she is doing what she is doing. Why is she doing what she is doing with the people who have special abilities? I can’t tell you. I’d totally be ruining the book for you.
