Maybe I Could Ebay Them

Posted on August 21st, 2010 in daily mocha

Life sucks right now. Okay. I can’t speak for us all but MY life sucks right now.

I would go into great detail but I can’t because there are so many details to go into and y’all know I’m a sprinter and not a distance runner and I would promise to write a post 1 and 2 and maybe 3 about it and then I would get tired of writing and y’all would think that I have ADHD or something but the truth of the matter is that I just got tired of writing.

So.

I’ll just state the obvious. Divorce, Death, or David Hasselhoff have nothing to do with the series of life sucking events.

There was/is an illness…should I even call it an illness? Should I even watch my words with y’all…um…NO. So here’s the deal.  I need a procedure performed to keep Aunt Flo from visiting me as much as she does. Her many visits have me passing out all over the place. That’s not cute when you’re trying to look cute in Target.

I was all scheduled for my procedure…until my insurance company said…

Sorry, but this is a pre-existing condition that you had before us. Better luck next year.

And I was like…

I hate you people and I’m going to die. When I get off this phone with you I’m going to die.

And they were like…

Okay. But before you die be sure that you schedule your surgery one year from now.

And I was like…

Okay. Thanks for nothing. I’m off to die now.

And they were like…

Have a nice day! And If you pressed option 1 to take the survey please hold the line.

Anyway.

It’s not the insurance company’s fault that I let my previous health insurance lapse, and waited too long before I purchased more. WE MUST FOLLOW THE RULES OR THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES. Damn rules!

And Besides.

My family and I have decided that it’s in my best interest to have the surgery performed ASAP. So we’re saving for it. It’s ONLY $6,000. We can do this, right?  That’s like one…two…three…thousand lattes. Who am I kidding. I can’t give up my lattes! Anyone want to buy a husband, 7 kids, and 4 dogs? They’re all in fair condition.

I promise.

For the last few days I’ve been stuck at home bedridden. It’s been horrible to say the least. I’ve only had two visitors -Aunt Flo and Cousin Migraine. Do you think they bothered to bring a decent gift? If vomiting, lose of vision, possible blood transfusion, and MICHEAL I CAN SEE THE LIGHT SHOULD I GO TOWARDS IT episodes are the best gifts money can buy, I think they should BURN their money and start over.

Needless to say, It ain’t been pretty over here my friends. It’s been ugly. The exact OPPOSITE of pretty.

I shouldn’t complain. It hasn’t all been bad. I’ve brushed my teeth more times this week, than I have in the last 12 years. Coincidentally, my eldest is 12. The clues are all there. Don’t be lazy just piece them together.

Anyway. It’s time to brush my teeth again. I’M SO FULL OF JOY.

So. I was browsing around on Perez Hilton – (It was for research *cough*) – when I saw the latest Old Spice commercial. I really think the Old Spice marketing team deserves an award.

Who’s next in line to sell the coveted iPhone? Bloomberg is reporting that Verizon Wireless will now get a piece of the Apple beginning January 2011. Rumors. Rumors. Rumors. We’ve heard them time and time again. Will this Apple finally fall from the tree?

Some True Some False

Everyone on the Internet is not your friend.

Sometimes Internet friends make the best friends.

Light bulbs can be a pain in the ass to screw in.

Light bulbs can be a bigger pain in the ass when they blow out.

Facebook  is the devil.

The people who post ignorant comments on Facebook are the devil.

This post has no substance.

Substance is in the eyes of the beholder. The real question – why are you still here?

The Post Where I Finally Tell You The Truth

The novelty has worn off. I really hate blogging….”mommy blogging.” I’m going to retire soon. Hold a press conference and all. Stay tuned.

So You’re One Of Those Parents

Posted on June 17th, 2010 in daily marriage, daily parenting

Michael and I, each have different views, when it comes to the safety of certain products and foods that we bring into our home.

While I’m Mrs. Label Reader, Organic Wannabe, Non-Toxic Chemical Guru, OMGosh….DID YOU REALLY JUST FEED THEM FOOD….FROM A CAN – SAINT.

Micheal’s motto is if I ate it, drank it, or touched it, when I was little – and survived….they will too.

And then we have the same conversation…over and over.

Sure you survived, but think of how much longer you would have survived if you hadn’t come into contact with those foods and chemicals.

What?

I mean if your parents would have just taken a few extra minutes out of their day, to read the labels and stuff, your life span would have been longer.

I’M NOT DEAD!

All I’m saying is that they deprived you of life.

Still alive.

And it’s really such a shame AND a bit selfish on their part.

Are you serious…nevermind.

If I Only Had 10 Minutes…What Would I Do

Posted on June 9th, 2010 in daily mocha
  1. Update my Facebook status: Stesha Sims has 1o minutes of free time.
  2. “Like” and comment on my own Facebook status.
  3. Tweet the following message: I only have 10 minutes to tweet.
  4. Check my @ replies to see if someone has responded to my tweet. If no one has responded. Send another tweet: I only have 5 minutes left if anyone wants to tweet with me. Anyone?
  5. Go back to Facebook and update with a new status: Stesha Sims has wasted her 1o minutes of free time.

Sprint has just launched Gaming on the Now Network™, bringing you the first wireless 4G network from a national carrier.  Sprint and JuiceBoxJungle have sponsored me to write about what “ten minutes” a day means to me.
