dysmenorrhea

or otherwise known as PAINFUL MENSTRUAL CRAMPS. i am in pain today and don't feel like talking. my "new" dr. can't see me til tuesday. JERK. i would like to give him some of my dysmenorrhea and then see how he feels. CRAMPS, CRAMPS, AND MORE CRAMPS. took the kids to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice on friday. they keep quoting lines from it and asking me if i am going to buy it, to which i say duh! is the pope a catholic? and they just stare at me and i say, yes of course i will!

FINALLY

brenton FINALLY got his birthday party.
he FINALLY got to have a party at chuck e cheese's
i FINALLY get to say that i am done with the party plans

he is FINALLY getting baptized now that he is 9 and is considered a convert. i find that to be so funny for some reason. it should happen at the end of this month. everyone is expecting a party after...AND MY RIGHT EYE HAS STARTED TWITCHING AGAIN!

me so tired

i have a headache from being at chuck e cheese's. i had 10 9 year old's going crazy for two hours. thankfully i had my parents and sister and husband to help with the chaos. i had nightmares about it all night long, stressful, forgetting the cake and balloons, can't get to where i need to be nightmares. all. night. long. plus, i am dealing with "NEW DR" crap, which is the cherry on top of my sundae. i need sleep. i need a head that doesn't ache. SERENITY NOW. i am taking a sick day...goodbye.

it's irresistible

revenge of THE ROXY DOG

i think this was her form of getting back at tessa and everything that tessa makes her do and...

here is how she got back at me. SHE ATE MY FREAKING PANTS! MY PANTS! i would call her a bitch but, technically speaking that is what she is already. she has now turned into tessa. we have NEVER had a problem with her chewing on anything but doggy stuff. i believe she is picking up on tessa's 2 year old mentality-bad influence. ok roxy, i will never put you in my clothes again if you promise NOT TO EAT THEM!

how to humiliate a dog

you can tell this photo is a little old. 1. the date 2. i am in levi's and long shirt 3. i have my dog in a sweatshirt. i was going through the laundry and roxy was doing her part by getting in the way. what do i do? i throw my sweatshirt on her and make her wear it. DANCE LITTLE PUPPET, DANCE! wait...i mean TESSA'S PUPPET (because according to tessa, roxy is HER DOG, even though roxy is older than her).

my inheritance

i have inherited the fact that i cannot read one book at a time from MY MOTHER. she, of course, would blame it on her ADD. which leads me to say that i have inherited ADD from her and thus i have my book problem (which she has too). i can't explain why i do this, i just DO. my husband teases me about it all the time, yet i have not changed my ways.

here is a shot of all the books i am currently reading right now, except i forgot to throw Harry Potter in there too (i like to reread the books before seeing the movie). the library books get the MOST attention cause i only have them for so long (curse that read a book in a month limit). don't libraries understand that there are people out there who suffer from this disease?
and here is where all my lovely books sit, right next to my bed. as you can see i also have...throat drops, scissors, knitting stuff, and a flashlight (for reading in the middle of the night and if i am awoken by aliens making noises), oh and a ton of aquaphor (my kids and i go through that stuff like it's water).

guess who has also developed the illness...my poor boy Brenton. i think he is reading three different books right now! CRAP!

CONGRATULATIONS DAD, YOU MADE IT! (i don't even know if he reads this...)

for those of you who AREN'T SYFY NERDS

the first picture was of the show WAREHOUSE 13. this is what it is about...

"After saving the life of the President, two Secret Service agents find themselves abruptly transferred to Warehouse 13 -- a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota that houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse's caretaker Artie (Saul Rubinek) charges Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him to control the warehouse, itself" -syfy.com

love this show cause it is funny too.

the second picture is of the show MERLIN. this is what it is about...

"The mythical city of Camelot, in a time before history began. A fantastical realm of legendary beasts and mysterious peoples. A dangerous world in which magic has been banned by the ruthless tyrant, Uther Pendragon. When Merlin, a young man gifted with extraordinary magical powers, arrives in the kingdom, he quickly makes enemies, including the heir to Uther's crown, the headstrong Prince Arthur.

But guided by Uther's wise physician, Gaius, Merlin is soon using his talents not just to survive but also to unlock Camelot's mystical secrets. As he does so, he discovers that his destiny and that of the kingdom's young leader in waiting, Arthur, are inextricably linked." -syfy.com

i mean come on, if you don't know who Merlin IS. YOU ARE A DORK!

the third picture is of a show that hasn't premiered quite yet but, i am so looking forward to it. the show is HAVEN and it is about...

"Syfy's all-new one-hour drama series Haven, starring Emily Rose (Jericho, Brothers and Sisters) is based on the novella The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King. The series follows the shrewd and confident FBI agent Audrey Parker (Rose) who has a lost past, and arrives in the small town of Haven, Maine on a routine case. Before long, her natural curiosity lands her in the epicenter of activity in this curious enclave, which turns out to be a longtime refuge for people that are affected by a range of supernatural afflictions.

As the townspeople's dormant abilities begin to express themselves, Audrey helps keep these forces at bay while discovering the many secrets of Haven — including one surrounding her own surprising connections to this extraordinary place." -syfy.com

sounds fun to me.

and last is GHOST HUNTERS! this is about...

"Contact between humans and spirits from the afterlife is not as far fetched as is it seems. As plumbers by day and ghost hunters by night, Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson and their team have worked to track down the presence of paranormals across the country.

As leaders of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS), both Jason and Grant have made it their life's mission to help anyone with questions pertaining to paranormal phenomena and ghost hunting. TAPS is a group of fairly ordinary people— office managers, factory workers, teachers and even psychic-hotline gurus— moonlighting to understand seemingly unexplainable disturbances." -syfy.com

i encourage you to watch all of the ghost hunters shows, especially if you are afraid of ghosties!

i am a SYFY NERD!

i just can't hide it

on friday we went to see the Eclipse movie. and by we i mean, my mom, her cousin, my friend Lisa, sister Nicole, and sister Molly. yes, it was an ALL GIRLS OCCASION! anyways, we were doing just fine, keeping our giggles under control until. UNTIL. the serious part between bella and edward. when they are spending the night alone and she keeps pressuring him to have sex with her. first off, my mom goes "WOOO OOOO OOO!". this is what set me off and i just couldn't stop myself. i was full on laughing. out loud. during the serious bella edward sex triangle. was anyone else laughing? NO. then my sister molly started in. and we both were having to put our heads down. finally she left the theatre cause she had to pee and i was making her laugh so hard that the pee was gonna come out. finally i got myself under control. i am sure i ticked off alot of ladies who didn't want to hear laughter during that part but, i just can't help myself. once i get started, i just can't stop. ask anyone who goes to movies with me. i am REALLY GOOD AT LAUGHING DURING PARTS OF A MOVIE WHEN YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO FIND IT FUNNY!

the only real problem i had with the movie was the HAIR!
1. for some reason, edward's sideburns looked like wolverines
2. you can so tell that bella has a wig on
3. jasper needs a new hairdo...STAT! he looks so much cuter without the twilight HAIR! which has gotten even weirder with this movie...

i am a no name

i got home too late to write out a nice long ECLIPSE post that this blog deserves. so, you are going to have to wait until tomorrow. when i am not so tired. and my neck isn't bothering me. and my son isn't having his anxiety issues. and kylee isn't bugging me about watching SYTYCD. but. but. i will tempt you with this little bit of info. i made my youngest sister almost pee her pants during the movie. WHY YOU ASK? you will just have to tune in tomorrow. THAT'S WHY.
PS. i forgot my camera for the METCALF CUL DE SAC OF FIRE. kyle or molly can you send those to me please. and kyle if you have that video of molly and i dancing to The Way You Make Me Feel...PLEASE SEND IT! i am not too scared of making a fool of myself for the enjoyment of others.

eclipse-id dee doo dah

and thus ends the week of ECLIPSE! oh yeah, and happy 4th of July...i kinda forgot that was happening this weekend too. silly me all caught up in the friggin twilight fever.

eclipse-ocity

i receive and read EW. i love that magazine. it hooks me up with all the info. lucky for me i did not receive the cover on the left. i immediately would have went "blech", thrown it out, and then gone and retrieved it from the trash saying, "i am so sorry EW. i didn't mean to throw you out. i still love you." but, i didn't, i got the one on the right and went "ooo Taylor". i am going to say right now that from the first time i read the books i became a "CERTAIN FAN" and this was before the movies and semi insanity. this story includes a CERTAIN SISTER OF MINE who was also a CERTAIN FAN. we just weren't the same. and we are both VERY OPINIONATED. can you guess who i speak of? YEAH FOR MOLLY AND MARCI, THE TWO METCALF B WORDS! (the b word is actually used tomorrow so don't read my post). ok, here i go. my mom and sisters and i were sitting at the south towne mall food court eating and being happy and this is how the conversation went. (i think i had just finished reading eclipse)

me: i have decided that i really like Jacob. alot more than Edward. i just don't get the whole Edward thing. he is cold, hard, and mopey. Jacob is the complete opposite plus, he is really big and tall. so there you have it, i like Jacob more than Edward.

molly: HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? YOU ARE GROSS. DO YOU KNOW HOW OLD JACOB IS?

me: yes, but when they become werewolves they automatically mature to their twentiesish area. and DO YOU KNOW HOW OLD EDWARD IS? you can look at it two ways. too young or too old.

molly: i don't know how you can like him more than Edward. you are weird.

so there you have it internet, I LIKE JACOB NOT EDWARD! and molly i know you are going to dispute this but, there were witnesses there. you had a big ol' crush on Edward, just own up to it. it will make you feel better. LOVES TO ALL THE JACOB FANS!
