My Weaknesses

Right now I have a few shows that I absolutely HAVE to see (and are set up to DVR). This is the time of year when Television seriously takes over my life, because all of my favorite shows have new seasons/episodes!

1. Intervention

This show is simply amazing on so many levels. Each episode I'm guaranteed to be shocked, and to cry like a baby. Each person has a different life story and each episode keeps me locked to it!

2. American Idol

Anyone who knows ME knows this show and the next one on my list I'm ADDICTED TO! [No pun intended, following the Intervention show comments]

3. Hell's Kitchen

I love cooking. I love Gordon Ramsay. Plain and simple.

4. The Tyra Banks Show

I've watched almost every episode since it's premiere *September 2005*! I love Tyra's show. Each episode is something totally new and different *unlike most other talk shows these days*.

A decorated cupcake!

My sweet little Reese (15 weeks old tomorrow) with her Valentine "Pigtails"

I was trying to get a photo of my new rug in the entryway. When Chayce saw the camera he said, "Excuse Me! Can you take a picture of my back?" So. I did. He really wanted to see what it looked like (LOL!)

Then I got his front. Too bad he didn't smile ;)

My beautiful flowers from my Mommy!

Baking Valentine's Cupcakes

Last night Chayce, Daddy and I baked the Valentine's cupcakes for the Valentine's Day party. The kids decorated them today of course! Chayce loves to bake/cook. He's a great little chef!

One day he'll be doing ALL the cooking for me... LOL!

He was counting them!

This is EXCITING, Mommy!

Some pessimistic rambling.

I typed out a full novel. But erased it.

Today's annoyances:

-People who constantly brag about themselves.

-People who can't be original and copy everyone else.

I'm not talking about little things like, "Oh wow, that's a great idea. I may try that myself!" We ALL do that here and there. But there are people that literally can't come up with ANYTHING on their own. How can you brag about yourself when all you do is copy someone else? Doesn't that make you bragging about them? We should just all be copyright.

Why do people find it appropriate to brag about how much money they make and/or spend either? [I've heard so much of this lately! From sooo many different people/aquaitences] Am I not the only person alive who finds that trashy and unclassy? Someone once told me, "My husband loves me more because my engagement ring costs more than his -ex's did." [His -ex not making that very statement makes her the stronger person. Honestly!]

IS THAT NOT THE MOST SHALLOW THING YOU'VE HEARD?!

The love of money is the root of all evil.

And greedy people disgust me.

It's sad that money buys love.

Who cares?! If you're happy, be happy. Don't try to pat yourself on the back, because most people could care less.

NO, really.

Caylee Anthony Memorial

Today I watched the LIVE Memorial for Caylee Anthony.

There are just no words.

Rest in Peace, sweet girl!

This Week's Valentine's Crafts

So my goal for the entire week is to do something each day to celebrate Valentine's Day! It's my FAVORITE Holiday and with all the kids I watch, they absolutely are thrilled to have a craft to do every single DAY this week. Here's a little peek at the things we've done!

***
Sunday:

Chayce made homemade Valentines for his friends and family. We bought the treat bags for our Valetine's Party, and filled them. Each one is filled with chocolate Teddy Grahams and Red gummy bears. The tag on each bag says, "You're beary sweet". Got the idea from "Family Fun" magazine this month. Chayce had a blast filling the bags and making the Valentines.

***

Monday:

Today the kids (Chayce & my daycare girls) made "Love Bugs". These were a HIT last year, but we made the wings with construction paper last year. This year is a bit different; we added glitter and a few extra touches. The girls' Love Bugs were pink. Chayce's was white and dressed in a little "Tuxedo". They loved pretending their bugs were flying around. This craft never fails!

Tuesday:

Today we made Heart Wreaths. Very self-explainitory. A simple craft that makes a great decoration for our partry on Friday! This is my favorite craft of them all!
