I have often thought about getting Lasik eye surgery surgery so I would not have to wear glasses or contacts anymore. I been reading up on it and am pretty well pleased to learn that USAEyes did a study and found that fewer than 3% of patients opting for Lasik surgery get Lasik Complications Although extremely rare, complications may arise. Those odds are pretty impressive. I think I'd be willing to gamble on those odds if I NEVER had to wear glasses or have red eyes from my contacts. If you are considering Lasik surgery, then you should definitely visit the site, ComplicatedEyes.org. The site has tons of information written in layman's terms, not a lot of technical jargon. Okay...so check it out and ..I'll be seeing ya!!

A few weeks ago in Effingham County two very bright individuals were arrested for transporting the makings of meth. I'm sure there is an "official" charge name for that, but I don't know it :) How were these two rocket scientists caught? Well it seems these bright individuals were at a gas station and a policeman noticed the smell of the chemicals. That's right, instead of using a nice, secure and airtight transfer tank Considering the potency of these chemicals, the authorities wear Haz Mat outfits before they even get near the stuff, I am sure these braniacs' brains were fried and therefore thought the smell was quite lovely.

Joey, Justin and Nicklaus left really early Saturday morning to attend a meeting at their hunting club. When they returned, Nicklaus had to following to say:


Nicklaus: I farted like a grown man in the Huddle House, I bet they think Daddy or Justin did it.(giggling)


Mom: Nicklaus!! How could you do that? It's gross and rude!


Nicklaus: I know Mom, but I ate an omelette and it just fired up the ole' pants cannon. (giggle, giggle, giggle)

To pack the mini-van to the gills, grab the kids and head South to Florida. Not only are the beaches far superior to any we have here in Georgia, it has tons of theme park activities. I know the tickets cost a small fortune, but if we could find another family to split the cost of a Disney vacation home we could probably swing it bylate summer, if we save and budget extremely well.
The only problem is we don't know many people, if any, that have children around our kids ages. I guess we have until late summer to meet some people also...lol

I forgot to tell all of y'all about Nathan's, ummm...performance at the Staff-vs-Students Kickball Game. He began doing some sort of interpretive dance, it reminded on of Squidward on SpongeBob Square Pants. He had the attention of half the parents on the next set of bleachers. He twirled, he wiggled, he lifted his leg up. He was just a little dancin' fool. While all of the parents were watching him gyrate, he suddenly stopped, looked at his Daddy and proclaimed, "I just took a big dump...." This is surely one of those heartwarming occurrences that I, as a mother, will cherish lovingly for every day of my life....BWAHAHAHAHA

Hubby starts his new job on Monday. If you recall it's with the same company he just received a promotion. He's paid by the job and the department he was in hasn't had a lot of work for months now. However he was put in charge of another division, still installing cabinets, and he's got more work than he knows what to do with. I am so glad we will go back to living a semi-comfortable life again!! I am really hoping that I can get the kids bedding within the next few months. I want to completely re-do each of their rooms, maybe before too long I'll get to!

I've noticed, for the past month or so, that a lot of the trucks here are sporting what appears to be a huge pair of testicles hanging from the trailer hitch. Not willing to just wonder what the heck they were, I went to Google and entered the search term, "testicles on trailer hitch." Although I did not get an answer as to why someone would want to hang a sac of balls off their vehicle, I did find a site that sells "bumper nuts." And what a selection they have. Here are a few examples:


Flesh Colored (if you're Caucasian)

Flesh Colored (if you're not)











Blue Balls (for married men)








I still do not get the purpose of it. I have no clue why you'd want them. Is this only in the South? Or has this idiocy spread throughout our great nation? Is having a rebel flag and gun rack in your truck required to sport these dandies? I did take my camera tonight when we went out for a while to try and snap a pic or two, but for the first time in a long time, I didn't see anyone?

Digital CAMERA!! I don't know how I did before. When I bought the first one, my favorite one of all time, I didn't know how long your average battery would last in it. It seemed like all of ten minutes. I spent a fortune at first on batteries, then Momz got wise and bought a battery charger and a pack or two of rechargable batteries. I NEVER worry about missing a cool shot of the kidz or whatever now. I always have a pair of backup batteries with me, so I NEVER miss a photo opp!!

I've been pondering this topic for awhile. Just didn't know how exactly to word it for a post. I'll give it my best shot. It's not an overtly religious one, really. I have noticed this for years and it really confuses me. The puzzling issue? Okay, here goes:


Has anyone else ever noticed amongst the Internet or elsewhere that if a person is an agnostic or atheist or whatever the only religion that really just irks the crap outta them is Christianity? I mean, I've read blogs by atheists and the like. In fact I have several I read regularly, most I don't comment on, others I might. I've noticed that even some of the atheists have no problem whatsoever with invoking advice or the like from any deity (Buddha, for example) but they will want to kill someone if they mention God or more specifically Jesus. If you don't believe in anything, yet find something relevant in Buddhist teachings, it's fine. If someone else may point out something that Jesus said in His teachings or whatever, then the non-believers will wanna lynch you. I guess my dilemma is, most people do admit that Jesus was a real person, he did walk the Earth for 33 years teaching and such. Even if you do not recognize Him as Messiah, why would the mere mention of His name provoke such outright hostility? How come you can't reference something He said or did as an example of something? Why is the Dali Lama okay to cite, yet you are a hate-mongering fool if you mention Christ? Even if you don't believe in Him as I do, aren't any of his teachings okay to reference? Why does His name inspire such hatred? If you mention Hindu teachings, fine....however, don't you dare bring up that horrible name, Jesus? Just a question in life I have yet to figure out.


***Please note, I am not talking about the idiots who spout off about how Jesus would kill all gay people, or if you are not a Christian you deserve to die or you destined to burn in hell . I mean people who are invoking something positive that Jesus said or did. "Love your neighbor" "He who is without sin, cast the first stone, etc...***

I have such a hard time buying gifts for my mom at times. A lot of times it's just the money, or lack thereof, that creates the problem. Other times it's that my mom doesn't like us spending money on her. She'd rather we just show up at church every Sunday, that's gift enough. My sister made her a beautiful flower garden and buys stuff for that for her. I am supposed to be doing a scrapbook for her....it's started, I just have not done any scrapbooking since we moved into our house. Lack of motivation, lack of time, lack of energy, lack of something has kept me from it. I have a nice desk to start working on it, all organized and such, just haven't done anything with it. I do know she really likes cosmetics and such. Especially the creams and lotions and all that jazz that goes on your face and such. I am thinking of buying her something from the skinceuticals line of products. I think she'd really like trying a few new products. I hope so anyway....that scrapbook ain't exactly throwing itself together!!

Okay...So, I am late, but it's here. You try taking care of a bi-polar husband, a kid with ADD, a Drama Queen, a very active 3 year old, a turtle, 2 cats, a dog and still blog for pay and blog to play. That's my little "gee my life is so hard" post for today....more to follow I am sure...BWAHAHAHAHA

He took his money that his Aunt Livey sent him for his grades, the money he got for losing a tooth and another few dollars he'd saved up and bought himself a new game for the PS2. (Yep, we're still on dial-up, out here in the boonies we'd have to pay $50+ a month for DSL, so as far as games go...it's PS2 around here.) He bought JAWS. It's not a new release game so it was only $ 19.89 at" the place we do not speak of." Let me tell ya...that's one bad ass shark. It can jump on the beach and grab people....forget about going into the water...don't even hit the sand honey!! You should have seen him though...he was MR. BIG buying his own items, with his own money. But, he earned it through hard work....and kissing up to Auntie Linda all the time...LOL

I've decided to brave the outdoors and go camping soon with the family. I've called the campground, which is in a state park not far from here and verified that there ARE bathroom facilities and I won't have to tinkle in the woods. I've also looked into Portable Water Filters and I am definately thinking they are something to look into. I don't know how well this trip will go. It may be my first foray into sleeping outside since I was about 10 years old. I don't know. We'll see. We'll probably be going the last of this month or the beginning of next month. You know I'll post all about it when we do, with pictures of course!!

My man is all southern. If a supper don't have something fried in it, well it ain't complete. Well, he went to the doctor today and was basically told, "You're too heavy and you have high blood pressure." Between his diet and the Zyprexa for bi-polar he takes his blood pressure is sky high and he's only 31!! So, now we're going to start eating healthier around here, and he's on Diovan for the high blood pressure.

I would really love to take the kidz down to Florida and do the whole theme park thing sometime. The expense of the parks for a family of five is overwhelming to say the least, then you have the cost of hotels. We are always so cramped in the standard 2 bed hotel room. I would love to go and instead of getting a hotel, be able to have a Florida rental vacation ! I mean, it would be so much nicer to rent a home, condo or townhouse and we'd have plenty of room for everyone. I'm not promising to cook every night though, kitchen or not, it would be my vacation too!!

I received an email to check out a new blog last week. I really like the layout and the content. It's about a couple doing everything they can to have a baby. The difference? It's from the man's point of view! It's called "Maybe Baby" and it's written by the future father. It's really a different look into a side of infertility that most people know nothing about, the male's take on things. So, check it out!!

**Click MaybeBaby link above to be taken to blog** And, don't forget to tell him that MomIsNutz sent ya!!

When thinking of dream vacations, I would rank Crewed Yacht Charters very high on the list of "want to do someday." I think it would be an awesome experience, an over the top vacation. To put it out the stratosphere though, the Skipper, Gilligan and The Professor would have to be on board, and I wouldn't want to get stuck on some desert island for years. Unless, the millionaire and his wife were gonna give me tons of money when we got rescued!!

I swear to all things holy, I could not make this crap up. I just had to share an email with you all that I received tonight. Just when I thought ol' Momz had lost the sexiness factor, from outta nowhere come my justification that I still got it. Apparently young Thaddeus thinks "older" women are hot. Unfortunately, I do not think young men who write such ignorant emails are. So, I don't think we'll be "talking" anytime soon. And dear Thaddeus, before you call me a bitch....let me remind you that I prefer, "Queen Bitch!"

Since we only have one vehicle and the end of the school year is fast approaching, we really need 2 vehicles. I cannot be trapped in this house all summer with all three of my HELLIONS children. We've thrown a lot of makes and models around, but after trying to find the lowest car insurance quote for some of the models we're thinking of, we decide that we can't afford the insurance for a lot of them. Plus, a family of five in a Porsche or Ferrari is not really a practical choice I suppose. Hey...a mom can dream, can't she? :-)

I love shopping online. I hate going to the mall to find items I need. I prefer sitting at home and browsing my favorite stores. Another thing I love is finding a great coupon site that offers ways to save I could never find at a "brick and mortar" store. One of my favorite online merchants is Overstock.com and I love it when I can find Overstock.com Coupons. The site already has really low prices and when you add a coupon to the deal you are really getting a bargain. CouponChief.com has over 1,000 stores listed on their site and they have recently made their coupons easier to scan and have added "how to" screencasts for a lot of their major stores such as: Target, Gap, Home Depot, and many more. If you are going to shop online, you owe to yourself and your wallet to check this site out!!

While surfing around the Internet I learned a lot of things. What kind of things you ask? (Well, even if you didn't ask, I am soooo gonna tell you!) Just click on the red links to find out the rest of the story!!<br>


It may be in your best interest to NOT rob a bank in high falutin' style. Sometimes it's okay to be a plain Jane...this is one of those times.


If you live in Illinois don't worry about being able to walk, talk or drive, you are still entitled to carry a gun.


Idiots are NEVER allowed to "chase the rainbow." Just say NO to sweets if you only have 1/2 of a brain!!


Y'all can believe what you want, I KNOW where Livey was on May 12, 2007.


Otis (of Andy Griffith Show fame) is alive and well. He moved to New Zealand after the show ended.


Okay, suppose you just robbed a bank. This does not signify that it is now Miller Time.

While grilling out, or barbecuing as you Yankees call it, on Mother's Day the topic of conversation turned to those who are follicly challenged, i.e. bald or getting there. Joey is knocking on the "I'm never taking my hat off again" door. He's mentioned trying Rogaine Foam. However, we found out that majority of the time if you start using Rogaine you can never stop. So, his next step? He's talking about getting a Hair transplant. Oy Vey!!!

Some of you may recall I posted a banner like this on my blog not too long ago for In The Motherhood a new web series starring Leah Remini. I received an e-mail from Nikki at the production company stating I may be interested in the contest and asking me to post a banner on my web site/blog. This is what I received in the mail for doing so....pretty cool, huh? I thought so!!!
