Bring the noise...PLEASE?!

The locker room is eerily quiet this evening. Big daddy is of course at work. Both Juju and Stanky are not feeling very well. For once, dinner time was pleasantly uneventful. No screaming at each other saying the other one needs to eat their food or no dessert. No trading food across the table. No screaming for juice when they saw the bottoms of their cups. Not once did I have to pick up a fallen spoon or fork. No noise. No mess either. They LOOK sickie: watery eyes, runny nose, and the occasional cough that sounds like I gave birth to seals, not little boys. Doesn't a mom, who works all day, want nothing more than to come home to quiet? Well of course thats what I want...at least not at the expense of my guys. Oh what I wouldn't give to hear a laugh or giggle. Hell, I'll take yelling at this point. I know in a couple of days I'll regret saying that but its just not the same when there's no noise. Not even a little.
We're driving to Austin tomorrow afternoon (where's all my TEXANS?! WOOT WOOT!). I have an interview Friday morning. Its just me and the boys. Big daddy can't get the time off. My MIL lives right outside of Austin in Copperas Cove, so that where we'll be staying. She's gonna be watching them while I'm at my interview. A couple months ago I posted about a position in San Antonio with the company that I currently work for...that did not work out. But I know this one definitely will! I feel it. This is the job for me! So again I'm asking everyone to cross fingers and toes. And definitely cross them for an uneventful road trip with my 2 sickies.

Top 2 Tuesday...MOVIES

I found a new meme! YAY!!! Come play along with Jimmy Choos &Baby Too every Tuesday. And here are my top 2 fave movies...

1. SERENDIPITY

Boy meets girl, he has a girlfriend, she has a boyfriend. They share an amazing night but when tested to see if "fate" brought them together, a little "devil child" messes it all up. Fast forward I think its 5 years and he's getting married. But somehow fate brings them together in the end. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie. This is the first movie that I've ever seen Kate Bekinsale in and I've been a fan ever since. Jeremy Piven is absolutely hilarious too.

2.FOOLS RUSH IN

Matthew Perry is dork! LOL. Selma Hayek is as gorgeous as ever. A different type of romantic comedy. 2 people from "different" cultures. I can so relate. And in Las Vegas! They go through with a marriage of what some might call convenience in order to do the right thing, the whole time hoping and almost forcing that they are meant to be together. I know a lot of people didn't like this movie but I do.

Oh Mr. Phil...

Dear Mr. Punxsutawney Phil,

I understand that you seeing or not seeing your shadow is just a legend, but why oh why did you have to see your shadow this morning? Do you not understand what is going on down here in the south? Did you not receive the memo about global warming? Obviously you have not. Obviously you did not see the reports of the frozen iguanas. 6 weeks. 6 more weeks of winter. You are mad. Mad I tell you! We are freezing here in the south. Yes the south. The place people come to when it starts to get too cold up north. The south, where a couple weeks ago we were below freezing. 6 more weeks?! We just had another cold front come through this past weekend. Every year during mardi gras it is either cold or rainy. This year it will be both. Oh Mr. Phil, I wish you did not see your shadow this morning. I don't know how much more this island girl can take. And my kids. Warm, cold, warm, cold...poor things just cannot get rid of the coughing or the runny noses.
Maybe you can prove that you are a phony, and warmer weather will come soon. PLEASE?! I've been a good girl so far this year. Well can you at least think about it?

Yours truly,
The locker room mom

My day so far...

Today has really been a lazy Saturday...and its only 3:16pm. I blame the weather! I have had not one ounce of motivation today. I don't even think I brushed my hair this morning. LOL. Oh well. 
I posted my elevator pitch earlier this week and then just forgot about day 2 of the blog challenge. So thats what I'm trying to do now, but just can't seem to get it together lol. I should have something up tonight. Thanks to all who commented on my pitch. And as an update I am practicing saying it. So what if I only say it to big daddy like 3 times a day. Or call him on my lunch break just to say it...at least I'm practicing and getting more comfortable with it. I was going to revamp it a little, but I think I'll just leave it the way it is.
I do want to say ALOHA and WELCOME to all my new followers from yesterday's Friday Follow. I'm trying to catch up on ALL, yes I said ALL, the blogs listed. I would hate to miss great content just cuz theres 300+ links. I will conquer. Y'all seriously crack me up! 
I think thats the little one....ok I'm back. It wasn't. He's taking a nap and I thought he was waking up after being down for only 30 min. HA! I spoke too soon....How does something so small and cute be so damn loud!
Later gators! 

Bathroom Booty

(S00000 not what you think...)

Background: So every morning during the week, I wake up a little early and workout. After I workout I take a shower and then get ready for work. I've been doing this for I don't know how many months now. Honestly, I think since June of last year.

So this morning was no different...except, after my workout big daddy decides he wants some. (You know what I mean). Anyways, I tell him that I'm sweaty and really just wanna take a shower. So he rolls over and I assume he's just gonna go back to sleep. Um NO. After I wrap my hair up in a towel and dry of just a little, I open the door to let out some of the steam and begin my "morning routine."
1. dry off completely
2. brush teeth
3. moisturizer on face..then sun tan lotion on my face
4. bio oil on my belly (juju and stanky left a road map on my belly and if you have no idea what bio oil is, I suggest you find out. AWESOME stuff.)
5. lotion on my body
6. underwear and clothes

Well I was on step 3 when big daddy comes in to use the bathroom. After he's done he just sits on the toilet seat watching me.
BIG DADDY: do you seriously do this every morning?
ME: ya, why?
BIG DADDY: I'm tired just watching you
ME: so get out and don't watch me.
BIG DADDY: so what is that, your treasure chest of youthful-ness? (pointing to the basket on the sink that contains everything I use on a daily basis and then some)
ME: so I'm old?
BIG DADDY: I  didn't say that. I just asked what all that stuff is?
ME: whatever
BIG DADDY: so can I get some?
ME: um NO.
BIG DADDY: you're not old.
ME: ok.
BIG DADDY: so gimme some
ME: um NO. Its getting late and I need to still make my lunch and leave.
BIG DADDY: well if you didn't have all that stuff to do after getting outta the shower you could get some booty before work every morning.
ME: Oh but I do get some booty every morning. Remember my treasure chest of youthful-ness?

And then I walked out. How dare he imply that I'm old! Nothing in my "treasure chest of youthful-ness" is to prevent wrinkles, or make them less noticeable. Uggghhhhh. MEN!!!

What my blog is all about (Elevator Pitch)

I have decided to take on the 31 days to a better blog challenge by @problogger. Its just like it says: everyday I learn a little bit and have a task to complete to--> better my blog. Sounds simple enough. So here we are...day 1. The task: create an "elevator pitch." PERFECT. No seriously, it really is. No sarcasm. With all the new followers I have (**smiling from ear to ear, waving**), an elevator pitch really is perfect...30 seconds or 100-150 words, the span of an elevator ride, to say who I am and what my blog is about.
**So I decided to take this challenge in the same direction, sort of, that Kat from Mama's Losin it, took**
So lets set the scene shall we.

*DING* Elevator door opens. There I am, looking oh so fabulous: jeans, t-shirt, heels, with my big juicy purse, bb storm 2 in hand, leaning against the railing and in you walk. Kinda embarassed that you seen me looking so bum leaning against the railing, I stand up straight. Our eyes meet for like point 3 seconds and we smile. You hit the button for the floor you want and the elevator door closes.
"Nice day out today...where did you get your shoes...my face...oh ya, its bbq sauce, my son eats it out the jar with a spoon and decided he wanted to kiss me...I have 4 boys actually...only girl yup...very entertaining...I actually have a blog about me and my guys. It's called Life in the Boys' Locker Room. If you think the bbq sauce is entertainment, then you're really in for a treat. Its all very amusing: the bathroom smells, which are normal for boys, and the constant wet puppy dog smell. Yes I said it my boys smell like wet dogs! My house is a regular locker room full of sweaty, smelly boys, and lots of dirty laundry. Footballs, baseballs, soccer balls, oh my. All types of balls! LOL oops, was that out loud? There's never a quiet moment...and most of the time its me making all the noise, not them. But hey what can I say? Being the only girl in my house does require me to have to stand out amongst the masses. So you should check me out. Well my blog at least. Here's my card. (well when I get business cards finally made, I'll add that last part)

**and of course the actual pitch is in italics...but you knew that**

Thats my first take on an elevator pitch. (I was actually like one word over, but you're not gonna tell on me right?) Big daddy says I should do another. He likes it but he thinks its still missing a little something. So for now thats what I have. Whenever I do, do another one, I will post it for y'all.

"Mommy...take my picture"

OK...Isn't he super cute?!
