To my haters...

After thinking and stewing upon this, I have decided to address you here, rather than ever go back to youbemom, which is just a bashfest of anonimity which allows you to hide behind the internet as you can put down others.

I started BGGB as an outlet for the people who got suckered in by the April Rose fiasco. We all went from fake blog to fake blog laughing and having fun together, so a forum wa smade to make it easier to converse.

I myself started the forum. I asked Brianne and Kate to admin the forum with me so we could attempt to keep it flowing smoothly. Yes rules were made, over 160 people signed up for BGGB, the rules were an easy way to try and keep everyone happy. People who follow certain big name bloggers joined our forum. We attempted to fish out those people, as we knew people were taking things said in our forum and telling these bloggers what were said.

Yes, some people were banned from BGGB, and yes some still don't fully understand why, and though I have tried to answer their questions, I can only give my answers, you may not always agree with them.

Due to some people becoming angry with me, my business, my weight, my looks, my lifestyle, my parenting skills, my sons disability, etc have come under fire.

I can only say it hurts me to hear these things. I don't understand why people can claim they hate BGGB becaus ethey were banned and then slam the peopel who made it and turn around and say I don't care about you at all. Obviously you sill have bitter feelings. You would of only been banned by breaking or not following the rules.

I guess that's it. Hate me if you need to. I know the people that matter to me love me, and to me, that's all that counts.

Funding Fun & OMG where is my hair?

So today I was off to the oh holy government people who decide Ethans fate.... and they decided well! Ethan has been approved for funding which totals $20,000 anually until August 31, 2012! (the under 6 kids get a lot more funding) This is AWESOME because right now his twice monthly ST and his soon to be in OT is already covered! This is strictly for more intervention which will RAWK! I am going to try my bestest to get Ethan in at least 10 hours monthly of ST instead of the 2 he gets now. Ethans speech delay is his major set back, and the main reason he is even considered to be ASD. So WHOO HOO!!!

While I was off in paperwork hell, Ethan was with my Mom, so I took advantage of that situation and went to go get my hair cut after my meeting. Because my hair is thick like a freaking wookie, I shed during the summer, and by that I mean I shed year round, but in teh summer my hair comes out in clumps, and really you would be SHOCKED that I am not all bald! So I got 4.5 inches sheared off of my hair and it felt instantly better and lighter. It can still fit in a ponytail which is my mom prerequisite!

On another note Ethan has always been a phone boy, and by that I mean he loves talking on and and all fake phones, but the instant you put a real phone to his ear and he hears a real person he backs away in fear and goes mute. When I got home after my hair cut I called my mom, so she could bring back my child, and Ethan got on the phone and TALKED (by this I mean yammered as he really has like no words) but the one thing he did say clear as a bell was... MOM? Mom!!!! He knew it was me and he used his words to let me know! I had tears... it was an amazing moment!!!

Water Baby

Oh and here's something that doesn't irk me!

My boy has discovered a new found love for WATER!

Irkables

I have a new pet peeve! Well I have many already but this new one is near and dear to my heart. Are you ready for it? What is it?

SKINNY JEANS!

I loathe them. I think they are hideous, and for many reasons. In fact, I think there is only one type of person that should be allowed to wear them at all; and that is super skinny teenage girls from ages 14-18, that is it!

Boys/men who wear skinny jeans look RIDICULOUS! It makes you looks like you have tiny chicken legs, and honestly that is not at all attractive! What makes them even worse is when boys/men where the tight skinny jeans around the bottom of their ass while their underpants stick out the top.... OMG I just want to yell at them and then hike up their jeans for them!!!!

And then there is the not so skinny girls/women attampting to wear skinny jeans. Now I can fully admit I am a fat girl... I know it, it's a fact! But there is many a fat girl that will try and sqeeeeeeeeeeeze their thighs and ass into said skinny jeans and my oh my it does NOT at all make you look skinny! It makes you look like you are wearing a denim sausage casing! I can embrace my fattitude willingly, but I cover my shit up and don't try to make myself look bigger then I already am... I just wish they would do the same because it baaaaaaaaaaaad!

So that is todays irkable! What's yours?

Oh what a day...

Has today been terribly odd for anyone else?

Two icons died today... Both Farrah Fawcett, which was kind of expected to happen soon, and Michael Jackson, which was very unexpected!

Some people think Michael was a 'monster' and a 'pedophile' and honestly I don't think today is the day to dwell on this. Michael Jackson was a name that everyone knew; he was a legend, and though his life was often controversial, he was a man, he was one of a kind, he was the King of Pop!

His music transcended generations, cultures, religions.... Everyone can name a Michael Jackson song, and probably sing it as well.

Happiness is a good Birthday!

It happened! It actually happened! I had a FANTASTIC birthday! After so many years of nothingness (thanks ex-husband for being so kind and sweet, NOT!), I had a great day!

Let me back track....

Tony is Ethans father, Tony lives in Oklahoma, I used to live in Oklahoma as well, and Ethan was born in OKC. Tony was raised by an apparent holiday-hating family, while I was raised by a holiday LOVING family. When I was pregnant with Ethan, Mothers Day went unnoticed, I brushed it off... but when Fathers Day rolled around (and I was still pregnant) I made sure to get tony a gift and a card from our unborn child... I should of known then that this was as good as it gets. Money was always to blame, but how much money does it take to make a handmade card, or write a cute note? There was always money for 'dip' or 'games and movies' just not for things that were important to me...

But alas... Tony and I are no longer together, and yes, Tony got nothign for Fathers Day, exactly what I got from him for Mothers Day. Some may call me petty and heartless, I call it 'done with trying.'

This year I acquired a new boyfriend, a wonderful man named Will, who thanks to the world being in my favor for once, shares my love of holidays, and is... wait for it... ROMANTIC!

On Mothers Day I awoke to flowers, a super sweet stuffed monkey and a card... May I remind you that I do NOT have a child with this man? He simply did this out of love, that's right.... LOVE!

Fast Forward to Friday, my birthday.... I awoke to a caramel frappachino (omg he knows me SO well!), a super cute giant Hello Kitty card, a stuffed frog, and.... an absolutely amazingly beautiful white gold diamond and aquamarine ring!!!

That's right folks!

The day was spent letting me get ready like a real girl (no standard ponytail, jeans and a t-shirt for this girl this day!), I got to straighten my hair, wear real cute clothes, and makeup!!!

My mom had arranged for a babysitter for Ethan, and we were going out for a real meal, at a NON fast food restaurant! This was my firts meal out without Ethan, and yes that is almost 3 years folks! We went to The Keg, I had a Pina Colada, an appy of escargots, and a simply devine dinner of sirloin and king crab.... I thought I was in heaven... until the delectable cherry cheesecake arrived!

We even went to the casino after dinner for some fun on the slots, and I walked out with more money than I walked in with...

All in all, a fantabulous birthday!!!!
