Now it's Mommy

It's official.  My little baby isn't a baby any more.  I know he's been a toddler for some time now and he will celebrate his 2nd birthday in a matter of weeks.  But yesterday he called me Mommy and it just broke my heart.  To him, I was always Mama.  And every time he said Mama, it just melted my heart.  (Even when it was repeated over and over and over and over.)

Why is this such a heartbreaker??  Because Mommy is just one step closer to Mom.  And then closer to Mother.  And then he will soon be a teenager and calling me by my real name or what ever word comes to mind, or maybe even nothing at all.  Whoa....slow down time.  Please!!!  Because I just can't handle my little baby to grow up so fast!!!

Pure Randomness

I love music.  ALL kinds of music.  And I had to laugh a little as I looked at the new Jams that I just downloaded on iTunes.  Helllooooo Randomness!!  Oh how I LOVE you!!! 



So check out the new Jams that I will be Jammin out to.  I go through phases where I will listen to some of my new Jams over and over.  Dance around the house when no one is looking.  Perhaps jump up on the bed.  Anyone else?? 

What are you listening to now??  I will be ecstatic if we have some overlap!




Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones

Na Na Na Na....Hey Hey Hey...Goodbye

It's about freaking time.  Seriously Brad, why did you take so long to kick this one to the curb?  Oh that's right...because you had a season full of fillers.  (Fillers are girls like Britt that are just there because ABC says you have to have a certain amount of girls.  Fillers.)  

So thank you Brad.  I am so glad to see Michelle and her drawn in eyebrows and crazy games hit the road. 

Ready....cue in the Jam:

Learn How to Park

Today I got to my car to find this:


And as this poor person was probably enraged while searching for a piece of paper and pen to write such a beautifully scripted message... I simply looked at this note....and laughed...out loud.  

The best part...I am not alone.  Here's a note that was left on Gator Guy's car this summer.  We are a match made in heaven.  Perhaps we should start a collection.

Deep Freeze

I normally hate listening to "summer music" in the winter months.  You know....the jams like Bob Marley, Jack Johnson, Jimmy Buffett, CCR, or Colbie Caillat....Those are all meant for BBQing in the back yard or sipping margs on the beach.  But as the nation is in a deep freeze and it was a fridgid -18 degrees as I drove to work today, I gladly welcome a song like this one to dream about the beach and warm weather.  Thanks Mr. A-Z for the warms thoughts.

Dear Remaining Thyroid,

You & I have been through a lot.  And I know that it was really hard for you to see your other half  influenced by an awful huge mass, become ineffective, and then officially removed.  That kind of separation can be hard on anyone.  But Remaining Thyroid, I need more from you, and I am not sure how else to ask.  
I feel as though our relationship is so one-sided.  I try to keep moving forward, and you refuse to give me anything back.  I even started to help you out with some meds.  But I still think you can do more than that.  Our relationship deserves more than that.  And it's time for me to be selfish and say that I deserve more than that. 
Remaining thyroid, I am just so tired.  Tired of this current status and I want to have just one day without 5 hour energies, gallons of coffee, or emergency naps.  And more than anything I want to run again, the kind of running I did to train for marathons.  I know this is a lot for you to handle right now, but honestly, I'm surprised you haven't picked up on how I am feeling and made changes on your own.  
I am not sure what else to say, except I really need you try to make this work.  You need to produce your best effort and really make our relationship a priority.  Or else, I am going to have to completely replace you with meds or maybe even some day remove you all together.  Trust me, I do not want to go to those measures, but I am just not sure how much longer I can do this.  

I hope you take this letter seriously and more than anything, I am here for you.  

xoxo, 

Kat

Dear Cutler,

I have pondered all week about this.  Just what do I say to you?  Do I include explicit language?  Do I just say, "I told you so"?  Do I feel grateful that I once asked if you were a fat kid and made you carry my purse?  Or do I just simply laugh....along with the rest of the nation?  Decisions, decisions. 

However, I think the tweets and pictures say it all. 

I have to admit Jay, I find pure joy watching your failure.  I experience moments of giddiness when I come across one of these gem pictures and know that there are so many others that think and laugh like me. 


I have loved listening to Mike & Mike and The Drive as they dissect your pouty face expressions, lack of knee brace, and poor leadership.

So now, let's take a look at some of the tweets & comments out there:
  • Alfred Williams, Fmr Bronco, co-host on The Drive - "The game was just too big for Cutler.  Just too Big."
  • Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars RB - "All I'm saying is that he can finish the game on a hurt knee... I played the whole season on one...
  • Ross Tucker, Frm Redskin, Brown, Patriot, etc. - "I've hurt my knee playing football 4 times. Never once did I then stand up on sidelines afterwards."
  • Anthony Armstrong, Redskins WR - "Knee-gate in Chicago"
  • Darnell Dockett, Cardinals DL - "If I'm on chicago team jay cutler has to wait till me and the team shower get dressed and leave before he comes in the locker room!"
  • Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars RB - "Hey I think the urban meyer rule is effect right now...Whtn the going get tough...QUIT"  (I love the fact this is a Cutler insult...however, I ignore that it also bashes my beloved Meyer.)
  • Mark Schlereth, Frm Bronco, co-host The Drive and ESPN - "As a guy who had 20 knee surgeries you'd have to drag me out on a stretcher to Leave a championship game!"
  • Matt Barnes, Lakers forward -  "I can't believe Jay Cutler hasn't even TRYED (sic) to come back.. This is to go to the Super Bowl.. That's crazy"
  • Roman Oben, former Giants and Bucs OT - "Jay Cutler must answer the critics about his toughness, or lack there of.."
  • Kerry Rhodes, Cardinals safety - "Cmon cutler u have to come back. This is the NFC championship if u didn't know! ... Kerry Rhodes speaks."
  • Derrick Brooks, former Buccaneers LB  - "HEY there is no medicine for a guy with no guts and heart"

Why do I care Jay?  Why did your lack of leadership change the power of Twitter and the Media?  Why did your "fans" burn your jersey?  Well, because it is just so damn disappointing.  
You were right there Jay....With the championship at your freaking fingertips.  And whether your "2nd degree MCL sprain" is legit or not, your demeanor on the sidelines was a joke.  And to finally quote Big Al from The Drive, "As fans, we do not want starters....we want finishers".  Finishers Jay.  Quarterbacks that can take us to the finish line.  Leaders that finish the season with all their bumps and bruises.  Finishers.

So thank you Cutler.  You have made this week very entertaining.  

xoxo,
Kat
