Also Known as "Mom"

My name is Tina but in my life I'm also known as "Mom". I am a mommy to 3 little kids and this is my blog all about the In's and Out's of my life as "Mom". So please sit back and enjoy this roller coaster ride from infancy through the teenage years with me.

Storage

Nov-27-2009 By Tina

I am not sure if I told you all but this winter our Trailer is being stored inside at my Grandparents polebarn. I am so happy about this as it’s so much better for the Trailer as it does not have to deal with the outdoor elements of good old winter. I think I’ve also heard that we can save money on our rv insurance because it’s more protected and less likely to have weather type incidents. Now I just need to call our agent to find out for sure. Hence my complaint about not being able to access this info and make changes to our policy more easily a few days ago in a post.

Friday 5: Finale

Nov-27-2009 By Tina

What television series finale did you particularly enjoy? How can I truly enjoy a series finale???  If I tuned in it’s probably because I liked the show and who would want a show to end that they liked?  I guess one of the better ones was for The Unit.

What television series finale did you think was a disservice to the series as a whole? ER for sure.   I totally thought the finale was really crappy.

What is your favorite dessert? Any thing chocolate works for me!!!

What were the circumstances surrounding your most dramatic exit from a room? I have no idea…I try not to let these things bother me.

If you could choose any symbolic way to end 2009, how would you end it? To get on the scale and see more than my goal weight loss gone!

Shoes

Nov-26-2009 By Tina

I really want to find a few perfect shoes for me.  It is so hard to do that with having broke my foot last summer and all.  I have looked at a lot shoes in normal stores but I know most of them will not give me the support that my foot needs now. Now I need to go to the places that sell more of the higher end ones like Merrell, Keen, Teva, Dansko, UGG, Chaco, and so many others. The only problem is that going into a lot of these specialty store there is a lot of pressure from the sales people to buy since they work on commission. So now I need to just go and try them on and just come home and buy them online for much cheaper.

Saving time…

Nov-25-2009 By Tina

I wish that instead of having to call customer service numbers all of the time when you need to make most changes to accounts that there were more secure ways to do this all online at times that are more convenient for you. There needs to be more options for submitting issues online for warranties and seeing faster service because it’s less time on the phone and they could call you if need be. Also would be nice to have our insurance online and more accessible so that we can see current rates and keep things where we want them instead of hoping that the person that gets paid to do this for us actually does. That way they can concentrate on claims and other important things. I know it does pose more security risks but there has to be a way to make this all more doable.

Dry season

Nov-24-2009 By Tina

Well the dryness is starting to set in here in our house. I need to get a new humidifier for the main living spaces to help this. I also need to get more filters for the furnace. I’m trying to figure out if there are truly differences between types of filters as I am seeing filters that say AC filters and some that say Heating filters. Has anyone ever used different types or do you always buy the same type all year long? My thoughts are that during the winter we almost need higher end filters because when it’s dry in here the allergens float even more but I’m not sure.

87 days, 8 hours, 7 minutes

Nov-22-2009 By Tina

That is the amount of time left till we are on our way to Hawaii.  I can not wait.  We are so excited to go on this trip and spend some special time just the two of us.   Especially after our last two and half weeks of sc=ickness that we have been dealing with.  See previous post!

Getting active

Nov-20-2009 By Tina

That is my new obsession. I need something to concentrate on to get my life back in order. We are getting back into the gym routine and I am loving every minute of it for real! I am really looking into fat burner reviews so that I can get this fat turned into trimmed muscle. I don’t care about my weight as much as I look and feel in my clothing. In just a short week I am seeing a very small difference from the time of cardio and two different classes. My favorite so far was the Total Body Conditioning class I took on Wednesday. Next week I start a circuit training class as well and those are my favorite type for sure.

H1N1

Nov-20-2009 By Tina

Oh man do I hate those four alpha numeric numbers!!!  We are not 100% certain that we had this as it was not tested by the doctors so they are calling all similar sicknesses the Flu.  But we had this crazy Flu for 2 whole weeks that pushed towards almost another half of week as well.  If that doesn’t make you want to run for a Outer Banks vacation rental in one of the Carolina’s then I have no idea what would but I tell you I was so sick of these four walls that working out at the gym 5 times this week felt like Heaven!

Friday 5: Book Titles

Nov-20-2009 By Tina

What color is your parachute? Well it would be pink and purple if I had my choice.  Don’t know this book…

Who moved your cheese? Probably one of the kids. Another book I can’t place.

Where’s Waldo? Hiding well in a great book in his usual red and white shirt with blue jeans.

Are you my mother? I sure hope not I have 3 kids already… go ask the crane again.

What’s happening to your body? It’s fighting me on losing weight… not a book I totally remember but have heard of.

Friday 5: Shapes

Nov-13-2009 By Tina

What is your favorite shape of pasta? That would have to be the ones shaped like wheels…they have been a favorite of mins since I was a kid.

Which of the Lucky Charms marshmallows is (or was) your favorite? My favorite is the mystery ones that you have to get wet to see what they are :)

Of people you know who are older than forty, who’s in the best shape? Another one of those weird questions in my opinion and I’m gonna pass on answering it.

What shape is one of the more interesting scars on your body? That would be the rainbow on my left foot where I burnt my foot with hot water about a week before I had Allie.

Of a human’s internal organs, which you think has the most interesting shape? I think the Lungs are interesting yet very strange in shape.
