Ummmm sure, let me go get my credit card...

The lengths people go to to scam nice people out of their money is simply disgusting.

Though I am not sure what idiot would fall for this nonsense!

**Update**

I had to share this with you - Looks like our friend Travis over at I Like To Fish has fallen for this foolishness hook line and sinker!

Dear Cancer of the Breast,

I would much like to say you to that I am broke, otherwise I would to be giving you my credit card number for the breast of the cancer. I am much sorry in my breast for your breast of cancer. I understand that it is making the life of yours uncomfortable. If you could take the pictures of the breast with the cancer in them and send me the picture of them in it, maybe we can make a deal. Thank you in advance for making sure that you include the gown of the doctor in your photo, as I have a fetish in my life for of this thing. I pay will the price of $25USD for the shot of the high quality.

Sincerely,
Travis

It Was The Breast of Times..

But now I am over it!

Yes that was Breast in my title. I am not talking sexay chesticles here (sorry manly readers) I am simply referring to breastfeeding.

My baby will be two at the end of January and there is no end in site.

The boy won't give up the sauce, man! I have tried everything. Formula, milk, soy milk, vanilla or chocolate milk, Pediasure, Gerber Healthy Sips...nothing is working!

He literally throws the cup at me when I give him any sort of milk substance. He won't even try it, he just hurls it at me and screams.

I don't know what to do. He is holding my breasts hostage. They aren't mine. They are his "nee-nee's" and nothing better stop him from getting his next fix or else there is hell to pay!

I love the bond that comes with nursing, really I do. But I am ready to let my baby fly from the breast. I want him to leave my boobs alone dammit! spread his little wings and explore sippy cup land where the milk flows freely in all sorts of colors and flavors.

He is a demanding little fellow. One breast in mouth and the other in palm. I am not very cool with the whole eat and grab method he has going on so I have to block his hand before it hits my breast. He gets pissed and claws at my hand. It seems that while one is providing food the other is a security blanket of sorts.

Even though I am still nursing, the blessed bounty of breast cuppage has long since left. I can barely fill a B cup at the moment. This makes more for snacking than a meal. He is on one for literally less than two minutes before he is dashing to the other. He switches sides constantly in one feeding. He reminds me of a little kitten, pawing, grabbing, rubbing, pulling all while happily nursing away.

When he is not nursing he is drinking juice. I make sure it is 100% juice. Once in a while I can get him to drink water, though most of the time that gets hurled at me too.

I am not sure how to fix this dilemma. I want my son to drink milk or a substance like it with the nutrients he needs - but how can I achieve this? It's not as easy as offering only milk to him. I've tried and he'd rather drink out of the dog bowl than touch the stuff.

I've tried letting my husband give it to him and he chucks the cup at him too.

So now I am turning to you, my dear bloggy parents.

Any suggestions?

I'm desparate here! I once scoffed at a friend for nursing her daughter well past the age of three. It seemed crazy to me. Now I am becoming that person...against my will! See that? Never judge because it might just be you in that predicament! Never say Never!

In other news, I have the sniffles. It sucks. I feel like my nose is rubbing against a cheese grater each time I wipe it.

I still have no for sale sign in front of my home =(

DiPaola Mama is giving away a copy of Fitness Ultimatum 2010 and the new Wii Fit PLUS board. Go on by and enter!

Have you entered to win the Fabby Date Night Apron?? Well what are you waiting for??

Ed gets the Snippety Snip - go wish him well!

Travis needs comment love - drop by and help him meet his goal!

Have a great Hump Day!!

Busy Bee Winner Me

Happy Monday Everyone!

I am busy busy as usual. I wish that tune would change so I can play with my bloggy friends again!

In the meantime know that I am missing you :(

I put my two weeks notice in at Tarjay. I am so bummed I'll be missing that Christmas rush (NOT!) and even more bummed that I will not have that employee discount anymore (true dat!)
but relieved that I will have some extra time to spend with my family while we get this house put together to sell!

I'm currently shopping for flooring companies and deciding whether or not to go the DIY route. I am using Service Magic for the first time and so far it seems like a wise choice. I've seen their commercials and thought I would check them out. They prescreen contractors for you so you don't have to fuss with all that. Plus their site is loaded with reviews and services and I picked a local company who is coming to measure up my floors tomorrow. I'll keep you posted on how everything goes. I just want to avoid the horror stories I have read about. I dont need that stress, man!

Oh Oh and I won something super fantastic!! I won a photo session and package worth $250.00! I entered Tip Junkie's 12 days of Christmas contest and on the 5th day they had Avenue B Photography in Denver offering a photo package! I was thrilled about this because we have been talking about doing a family photo session for a couple of years now...yes - I said a couple of YEARS -- you see how we never get around to actually DOING these things?? It's nuts!

So I entered and I hoped to win but knew chances were I wouldn't...but then.......I WON!!!

Woot-Woot!

I am SO excited! I swear I have twittered and facebooked and emailed this poor woman telling her how excited I am! She probably thinks I am a fry or two short of a Happy Meal!

I am a little nervous about the actual picture taking. Being that I am a bit camera shy and my boys are all crazy wild. None of them like to stay still and when the camera is pointed at them they all go into facial morph hyper drive!

Exhibit A:



Exhibit B:



Lastly, I bring you C:



Needless to say, it will be interesting to see what kind of miracle, Ms. Becca can perform with her skillz!

I can't wait to get matchy shirts and wear matchy pants and run in a field or something cool like the families in the pics she has taken! Did I mention how excited I am?? Yeah...

I'm off to scrub toilets and dust stuff.

Have a great day!
