*Comes Out of Hiding*

I took a mini hiatus last week. Did ya miss me?

Last week I took a trial run at planning out my week, and trying to make quality time for family, blogging, entrepreneurial tasks and just plan out me time. In an effort to make sure the Mr. and my children are getting the time they need from me, I will not be on the computer from the hours of 3p-8p and the computer will be shut off at 11:30p daily. It’s going to be hard, but it must be done. With that new adjustment to my daily schedule, its no mystery that two things found themselves out of the loop and on the doorstep. Yep, you guessed right, blogging and “Me” time got straight dissed. This week, I am trying the same schedule but seeing that I don’t have 3 weeks of laundry to wash and fold, blogging is now back in my life.

Yes! Three weeks of laundry. I’m not really sure how that happened. I tried to stay on top of it but….I was just washing the whites and hoping no one needed anything colored but the inevitable had to be done. Took me ALL week to get it under control.Other than laundry, I really began putting in time daily on my business and started the ball rolling on a few new things.  I am pleased with my progress…now if I can just keep it up.

 Race training is going well. I have been using the Couch to 5K app on my phone and even though I am on week 2 I see progress already. I have gotten an extra kick in the A&% to get out there, my blood pressure was 141/101 Saturday. *sigh*

I have gotten quite a number of new followers over the past few weeks. A warm HELLO, hugs and air smooches to you. Please don’t be a stranger!

For all of you with blogs, I will get around to reading and commenting eventually..Blame it on the laundry for my tardiness and lack of blog etiquette.

Last but most important, Audrey over at The Chronicles of a Future Wife is hosting a giveaway for a Divinitee shirt. Head over to her blog for the deets and enter to win. Thanks for your support.

See you tomorrow!

Lil Mama Mama's Babies Wordless Wednesday

Where are You Wednesday

I got the A.P.B. Y’all was looking for me?!  No?

It’s been crazy around here..in a good way. Working on some old things and starting some new. You know how I roll, don’t finish something before starting the next. I like to think it keeps me on my toes!

I blogged at Mami 2 Mommy on Monday…nevermind that its Wednesday. Go give me some comment consolation for being a bad mommy for paying more attention to Lil Mama than Lil Man. *hangs head in shame*

I’ll be back tomorrow! In the meantime feast your eyes on THIS:

Me Mimi

Because I Said So

The tag line for my blog reads “The Rants and Raves of a Fab Mom”. Well the other day after the bagger at the grocery store very confidently referred to me as Ma’am I took a quick mental inventory of why he would think I was a Ma’am because in my thoughts at that moment there was nothing “fab” about being a Ma’am. So forgetting that I was wearing a pair of skinny jeans that were a tad too short, some leaned over gold flats, a huge ketchup stain on my shirt courtesy of my son,  two strand twists that were all twisted out and needed to be redone days ago, and the dead giveaway that I was pushing two children in a buggy I was appalled. I mean I am fab…right? *nod your head and look straight ahead*

Because I could not leave well enough alone, I just had to corner the young gentleman and ask him just how old did he think I was. Word to the wise, NEVER ask a teenager a question like this..NEVER. He responds with a slight grin, “I don’t know I guess about 40”. *dead* I can’t. At this point, the cashier has finished ringing up my groceries and we are all set to go. I quietly disclose to him that I am 32 like he cared but it gave me some satisfaction in the matter. That’ll show him .

Still on this hours later I started thinking what are the credentials that I possess *in my head* that qualifies me as being fab. Sure I’m more of a connoisseur of Yo Gabba Gabba than the latest fashions to walk the runways of Spring fashion week, nonetheless I would like to think I’ve still got it…a teeny bit. I’ve never been one to need validation..until this day. So I decided to come up with MY own reasons. Wanna hear it? Here it go

I’m Fab Because:

As I type this my nails are gold and sparkly

Nails

I listen to Lil Wayne at obscenely loud levels…no, not with the kids in the car. Okay, sometimes.

I’ve been to the club in the last year, not considering the fact that I complained about the loud music the.entire.time

I know how to Dougie..not a whole lot of consolation on this one seeing that Wolf Blitzer did it.

I still wear high platform heels..who cares that my knees hurt for days after

I paint my fingernails weekly

I manage to keep my sanity while chasing behind a budding 11 month old walker and a motor mouth 5 year old ALL DAY LONG

I wear sunglasses whilst driving the Milf mobile, and still get stares at the stop light

I get out of the house alone often and have drinks or dinner with my BFFs

I’m fab because I SAID SO!!

Fab is the shortened version of the word Fabulous which is defined as:

adjective:Almost impossible to believe;incredible. Exceptionally good or unusual; marvelous; superb

That sounds about riiight.So now that we have the official definition, and I’m quite sure that all of you possess a trait qualifies you as being fab..as if it really matters to anyone else but you.  Do share something special about yourself that “ups” your FAB quotient. I mean can you juggle bananas. Can you cook, fold clothes, talk on the phone and check homework simultaneously..What is it?
