Not only am I going to Real Estate School, just got cast as “Millie” in the Ritz Theatre’s production of Thoroughly Modern Millie, now I’m taking on a whole new world called HTML…..AAAACHHH! That shit is hard. I started a website for the best of the best in South Jersey called www.sjsoloists.com, where A Quality Voice Can Make A Difference. Like being a stay at home mom of 3 sons wasn’t enough…. Now I can be busy EVERY day of the week, ha like I wasn’t before…..that’s a laugh!
WICKED
I went to the Academy of Music last night with my 6 year old and we saw “Wicked”. All I have to say is I’m in love…..I mean, I had been listening to the soundtrack and all, but once you get the whole kit and caboodle…..DAMN it was good. My son didn’t move an inch the whole show, and if I could go back night after night I would.
I love musical theater! Every show I go to see I get butterflies in my stomach. I never get butterflies when I perform…..only when I go to see a show. I just can’t explain the beauty of the arts……those of you involved know exactly what I’m talking about….you get a mysterious tingling through your whole body.
I can’t even imagine being the lead in that show and the satisfaction they get when a performance is over and the audience are on their feet cheering for more…….oh the life of a broadway star!
Makes me want to cry….not out of sadness but of joy and overwhelming emotion…..ok I’ll stop now….but feel free to ga-ga over your love of theater and tell me what your favorite show is that makes you all warm and fuzzy inside!
It’s Been a While
While I’ve recovered from my mystery rash (still have a bit of allergic rashes here and there) 3 Docs later, I’ve managed to do a show, finish up my son’s roller hockey adventure, joined a swim club, swim lessons, joined the girls softball team, had a yard sale, oh and did I mention go on vacation to St. Louis, MO? Yes I did say vacation there…..why? Relatives, but all in all it was quite entertaining and made me REALLY appreciate NJ and my own family. So in a nutshell, my life is pretty boring to say the least.
P.S. My son made it to 2nd grade, the littlest guy mastered the skill of walking and my middle guy is just adorable……
I Think I’m Cured!
After 3 doctors and several rounds of drugs……..I think we’ve finally beat this ridiculous rash…..I said beat not identified. They still have no idea what it was or is…. My last Dr. round was to the dermatologist and he took 2 tissue samples to send off to a biopsy, hoping to figure out the mystery. That will come back in 1 more week…..so in the meantime I could be dying….just kidding….that wasso not funny. So in the midst of all the itching, crying, uncomfortable sleep, and chicken pox looking bumps all over my body, I feel better. Now my kids have yellow snot and coughs.
Hey you know what they say, once you have kids it’s all over and there will always be something to worry or wonder about. I’ll take it. It’s much more fun than being single and having nothing or anyone to worry about but yourself……wait did I just say that?Ok maybe one day a week I wish I were single but that’ll do.
Flesh Eating Disease!
When you think of the flesh eating disease, what instantly comes to mind? Dirty person, contagious, death? Well guess what? I went to the Dr. as he calmly tells me, oh yeah it’s Staph. Um, excuse me did you say Staph as in a Staph infection? Wait, isn’t that something people in the hospital get when the STAFF isn’t clean and gives bacteria to a sick person making them even sicker with a STAPH infection? Because that’s the way I always thought you got it.
To which he replied, no. Staph is short for Staphylococcus bacteria. These Staph infections can range from a simple boil to antibiotic resistant infections to a flesh-eating infection. It can start simply from an open wound on your hand (like mine) and with constant contact with other people (who are carriers) or scratching it can become infected. Which was my case. Now I’ve broken out in a rash all over my body. Yikes! I’m on an antibiotic and a steroid to which I’ve found little relief just an upset stomach. I went back to the DR. and they gave me 2 shots…….hopefully this will work…I’ll keep you posted. Tell me, have any of you have a flesh-eating disease? Please make me feel better….cuz at this point I feel like a leper.
I’m So Sure!
Does anyone else suffer from …..what is this illness and why isn’t there any written symptoms or diagnosis for it, syndrome? My family and I, ok more so me, get anything and everything you can think of. And it’s not because I’m a dirty person, I consider myself fairly clean and I an almost borderline germaphobe. It just seems like everytime my kids or I get sick it could be a cold or it could be bronchitis or it could be a rash of some sort is the way it goes. We never seem to have a text book case. There is always some variation.
So my littlest guy was throwing up…..to the point where it turned a little bloody brownish, got a little nervous, called the Doc, looked online (worse place to look BTW) they said, take him to the hospital…………SCREECH……Halt. Um, did you say ER? Whatever, so online it says….oh if they start throwing up brownish coffee grind stuff it could be an intestinal obstruction. Needless to say he was fine, but don’t ya know whatever virus he had went on for 7 days…..vomit, diarrhea, vomit, diarrhea, oh let’s throw lathargy and loosing 2 lbs while we are at it.
My issue right now is a frigin rash I have ALL OVER MY BODY. It started with a dry patch on my hand that was itchy, I couldn’t stop clawing at it and I read online (worse place to look BTW) and it mentioned a skin infection that could make you rash. WTF, now I’m axiuosly waiting for a Dr. appt tomorrow and he’ll probably say…..it could be eczima or it could be an infection or it could be…..whatever! Why can’t I just have some illness that gives you text book symptoms and cures?
Now I Know Why Women Get Boob Jobs!
Ok, so not all women have the same excuse why they get boob jobs, but I know one of the main reasons! I have recently finished up breastfeeding my 3rd son……yes I said 3rd son, and let me tell you the results are not promising! During the 1st pregnancy your boobs get nice and full, you feel sensual, then as the time goes on and you start weaning…..well newsflash for ya….. your boobs start weaning too! Ok I can deal. Then 2nd time around, your boobs get nice and full again, you forget the small humps you had about 9 months ago and you are feeling good about your big breasts! Oops, forgot that weaning thing again and then…….wait a minute they are even smaller than the first time around. Hmmmmmm? Alright let’s give this another go- 3rd kid- boobs get nice and full yet again, weaning starts, wait a $uckin minute, what the hell happened? Not only did they dwindle away but they aren’t even back to normal, they are smaller than before, stretched and you feel like a cow’s utters that have been pulled way too many times.
This my friends is the reason women get boob jobs! Any questions?
Tell me, are you suffering from sucked too many times boob disorder?
I wanna hear from you!

How Does This Happen?
Do you ever wonder how a persons toe nails end up looking like some Star Wars creature or the monster from the movie Toxic Avenger? I’d really love to know because I was clipping my 4 year olds toe nails today and he has one….the middle one it looks really gross. How did that happen? I bath him, groom him, make sure he has on clean socks and shoes, so why all of a sudden does he develop funky toeitis? Is it genetic? I want to know, do you have a funky toe nail? How did you come upon it? Are you embarassed by it in sandals? Oh the most bizarre things in life entrigue me!!
