The Other Man in My Life



Welcome to Mommy Monday

Yeah, you read my title right.  Yeah, I'm married.

I've got another man in my life and I can't spend enough time with him.  
I want to be with him every second.  
When I'm away from him my heart aches. 
 I've really got it bad.

I can't help myself. 
Every time I see him I run to him and he hugs and kisses me.
He's just the most amazing person in the world.  
When we say goodnight he cups my cheeks in both hands and smiles, 
every time.  It's the most amazing feeling in the world.  
My heart leaps with joy every single time he does that. 

Then, when I go to bed I lay there and think about
how much fun we can have the next day.
I want to share all the good things in the world with him.
He is absolutely amazing!

I finally had to fess up to my husband and tell him.  
He was not as devastated as I had thought he might be. 
 Actually he said he had already suspected that I had someone else that 
I was spending all my time with.  
He said he was okay with being in second place.
Wow, shocker huh?  

Men aren't always as dumb as we give them credit for,
usually but not always. 

Fortunately both of the men in my life know each other very well
and my husband really, really likes the new man in my life.
 Said he totally understood why I felt the way I did since
the other man is such an awesome guy. 
He's actually my husbands best bud. 
Who knew, right?

Oh, well let me tell you more.

I probably should tell you up front that he doesn't have a job, 
but that's okay, I don't mind supporting him for awhile.

He has the most beautiful brown eyes that will just melt your heart.
He has the most beautiful smile in the world, it just lights up my heart.

He does have fat feet, but hey, I can live with that.
He loves to sing to me and we dance all the time.  
He does have two left feet and falls a lot when
he dances, but you know how it is, everybody
can't be a great dancer.  


Let's see, oh yea, he loves to wear a hat.
He loves being in the pool, loves, loves, the water.
He pees in the pool sometimes but we all have accidents, right?

Let me think, oh yeah, he rides a big ole Harley.  
He's not a very good driver, he ran into the fence last week.
 But he still loves it.
(no injuries, just hurt his pride a little)

He would crawl over your cold body for chocolate. 
He's got a thing for chocolate.

He's also great on the piano.
In fact he's so good he can even play the keys with his feet.  
Seriously, I'm not kidding!

He's kind of a momma's boy, but I can live with that.  

He hates, hates to have his photo taken.  
He will do anything not to have his picture taken.
I do want to show you pictures of him but I mostly just have shots of his back.
Like I said,he's really camera shy.

He's pretty short too, only about 2 foot tall.  
But he's really mature for his age.
Honest, he is.

Well, I guess my secret is out now.  You'll probably tell everyone in town.
Since you know so much already I may as well show you his photos.
Here he is, meet Jacob, the man of my life.

Jacob's back with his favorite hat on.

Jacob's back as he rides his Harley.  Unfortunately he fell off, it happens.

Jacob's back as he has his Chocolate Death dessert on the floor.
Well actually, all over the floor.
Ummmm Mommy

Jacob's back as he plays me a song on the piano.  He's a great musician.

This one is very special.  These are the fat little hands that hold my cheeks
and say "mommie wuv" and my heart just melts.

Who knew, The man of my dreams is 2 foot tall and AMAZING.  
My Jacob
and I did tell you he hates having his photo taken.  
I wasn't kidding.

Calendar Recycle & Tuesday Blog Hop

 Papercrafting Tuesday Blog Hop
@
Sew Crafty Angel

I'm so glad you dropped by today. 
Today is anything you made involving paper.  
And if you don't have a papercraft but want to show your creative
work you can certainly link that up also.  
After all blogging is about getting together
and having fun with our friends.  
So come on friend and show us what you got.

My papercraft project today is that I recycled/upcycled last years pictures
from a wall calendar that I thought was so pretty that I could not
bear the thought of throwing it away.  

I took my 3 favorite pictures in the calendar and then
I went to the Dollar Tree and for $1 each I purchased
three 5x7 photo frames in a green/gold color to match my spare bedroom.
Then it was as simple as cutting the pictures down to fit the frames and I was done.
So below are my new wall decorations that cost me a total of $3.





I think these turned out pretty darn cute.
What do you think?  

till next time

Mommie Monday - Sippy Cups

Hello Friends

Wow, it's Monday again.  Where did the weekend go?
Today is our first Mommie devoted post.  

I'm a new mom of a 17 month old boy and I can use all the advise anyone wants to offer so I thought there might be other mommies out there that would want to share some stories and advice with us.

Today I wanted to talk about sippy cups or should I call them carpet stainers, 
outfit destroyers, car seat stainers, etc, you get the point.  
I've tried every kind I can find in my area and they all still leak.  
These little suckers are expensive and I've been tossing them in the
Recycle bin for months

Here's some that I've tried, do any of them look familiar?



 After months of throwing away sippy cups I finally found a cup that didn't leak.
I was in my local Wal Mart store searching for another miracle cup.  
I decided to look at something that maybe a child would carry in a lunchbox and 
I found this plain, ordinary, unimpressive looking plastic juice box and it only cost $1.47.  
So I thought, why not try it.
I picked up 2 and brought them home knowing full well that I'd be tossing 
them so I wasn't fretting about wasting a couple of dollars.

To my surprise, I washed it and filled it with cranberry grape juice (of course),
Jacobs favorite juice and gave it to him and then waited for the mommie call.

I was truly amazed that this cheap little plastic thing actually worked.
It has a spout that you maneuver, if pulled all the way back and locked
your little one candrink to his hearts content,
 if turned upside down it didn't leak
 (Jacob loves to turn them upside down and watch them drip).
We started taking these little sippers everywhere.  
My bag stays dry now and Jacobs juice gets in his tummy.
Needless to say, I'm very satisfied with this sippy cup. 
 I've since purchased 10 of them and we take them everywhere.  
And for this price if Jacob looses his cup I can pull out another one.

Has anybody else had any issues with sippy cups or do you have one that works great?
Please share your story.

Coffee Date

If you could come to my home for coffee I think it'd be something like this.......


Hey girl come on in.
I'm so glad you could come by, I've been thinking about you.
I've just made a fresh pot of coffee and you know



I decided we should get together for regular coffee dates so we can catch up and share what's going on in our lives.  Grab a cup and have a seat at the table and I'll bring the pot.  I've got so much to tell you.

First off my blog will be 4 months old on May 2nd.
I'm so excited!
I decided to add some things so I can spend more time doing things I love with friends.
I've gotten together with Anna over at Cuddlebug Cuties and we will be hosting a weekly Friday Recipe Swap.  I can't wait to see what all my friends have been cooking up. And we will be featuring a wonderful recipe of our friends each week at the swap.  I'm so excited, I just can't wait.



And then on Mondays I want to spend some time with my mommie friends so I'm gonna be hosting a segment called "Mommie Mondays" so we can share anything mommie and kid related.
I love talking about Jacob and I know every other mom in the world loves to talk about their kids too.

Jacob is only 17 months old now and I can't keep up with him.  Yesterday I made a huge mistake when he wet his diaper.  I was in the middle of something but I couldn't leave him wet so I took off the diaper and left his pants on and told him Mommie would wash his bottom and get him a fresh diapie in a couple of minutes.  I was laughing and telling him he could go "Commando" for a little bit.   Well, that was not my smartest thing I did that day.  A couple of minutes of "commando" and I turn around and noticed a huge sagging spot in his pants.  "Oh NO", yep you guessed it, full of poop.  So I picked him up and headed to the bedroom, at which time he decided that crying and kicking would be fun.  As I'm trying to get the pants off, with as little mess as possible, Jacob grabs the pants legs and is pulling and slinging with all his might.  I'm laughing so hard and poop is flying everywhere.  Needless to say, lesson learned.

Oh, and then on Tuesdays I'm gonna have a "Papercrafting Tuesday" day.  We can make cards, scrapbook pages, whatever we can think of papercraft related and share with each other.

Then I'm gonna have "Thursday Coffee Dates with my Linky Party."
And of course anything goes at a party with girls chatting over coffee.

That's kinda whats going on with me.
What about you, what are you up to?
How's your coffee, ready for a refill?

I hope you will join me in all the fun.  I love spending time with you and I'm so glad you stopped by.
I am so blessed to have friends like you.

Blueberry Muffins

 
 
Blueberry Muffins
 
I absolutely love blueberries.  So we often have blueberries in some form or another. 
This morning I couldn't decide if I wanted fresh or cooked so we had both.
 
These beautiful muffins are chocked with fresh blueberries and topped with
cream cheese sauce and for then fresh blueberries on the side.
 
I feel healthier already.  This is such a well rounded breakfast, lol.
I have fruit, dairy, bread, cheese, wow how healthy am I?
 
As you all know by now you all are invited to drop in for coffee and muffins.
So come on over and enjoy these with us.
 

 
Oh, hey guys, so sorry but I have to cancel your invitation to come over
All the muffins are gone.  Sorry.
