It Is What It Is.......my poor big guy

     So we found out that my hubby is border line diabetic......not the greatest news but not the worst news either! It could have been worse. He could have been diagnosed with it instead! Which I have to tell ya and he is gonna kill me but my hubby hates needles and the thought of having blood drawn is like unthinkable! He said "You just drop me off and I will go by myself." Hmmm Nope I don't think so considering you told me you were thinking about just not going the night before....nice try Mr. Diaz!! So now we have to really watch carbs . No soda pop (which we quit drinking pop a long time ago) and you really have to watch the candy and sweets. =( No snickers he says.....booo!  So I guess I must have known or had an intuition or something because I have already been trying to cook healthier!  Which is kinda tricky on a budget. It is a lot cheaper to buy the naughty not healthy gooood stuff! (o; But I am glad that we found out before and not after. We have a chance to make it right I hope. I have the odds stacked against me too both of my parents are diabetic and I am overweight and have had a child over 10 lbs. (yes I said child over 10lbs.). I am worried about what this means for my kids as well. I do not want them to have that hand dealt to them! I am up for this challenge and ready to kick some ass and get my family healthy! 
 I love my sweet, loud and sometimes out there family!!!! =D
  Until we meet again ~Jennifer Diaz~ 

Seriously....??????

OK so every little thing is bugging me.......why you say??? Who the Flip knows but IT IS! Like other peoples driving.....oh my LORD! Do other drivers think that they are the only ones on the road for real? I mean I have a van not a little car or something.....doodadooo let's just pull out into the road without looking. Stupid idiots!! I get ROAD RAGE! I try to remain calm but I can't.....and I mean I am not a perfect driver in anyway at all but come on! I hate the parking lot at the kids school. You are suppose to park and get out and get your child but their are a select few that think this does not apply to them. They park right by the bike racks and sit like it is a drive thru! This makes it dangerous for kids who ride their bike....HELLO! Lazy parents! And Facebook.....it is hard to sometimes read a comment correctly. I mean it might come of nasty or rude when it could be just joking. Some people don't always add that LOL. (that was sarcastic ;o) LOL) This has happened to me and this has happened to a lot people I know. When did the world become so uptight about everything. Live a little people! Freedom of speech. You don't have to read other peoples posts or tweets or BLOGS or whatever it may be! And if it bothers you then blog about or tweet about it without making yourself look like an idiot. Remember the saying "To each is own" and that is sooooo true! If we were all alike then what a F*CKIN' boring world we would live in. And it bugs the crap out of me that our countries top news is about celebrities and their break ups or whatever. I mean it is the news. I wanna hear about things that are going to be in the history books someday. I mean don't get me wrong I love "the famous" as much as the next person but don't really care about their personal lives. Unless it is Robert Pattinson or other hotties! LOL.....And let's get started on Wally World....I HATE that I have to shop there but I do. Most of the employees are rude and don't care to help you. After you leave there it takes a tall glass of something to take the edge off. True Story....when the temps. were like 112 degrees out I ran there to get one of those bandanas that you get wet and it puffs up and feels like it is frozen and you stick it around your neck to cool you off. Anyway I asked the guy if they had them and his response was "No we don't. We have NEVER had anything like that before. (which I new that I had seen one there before) Sorry." SO I walk around the corner and right there is a peg strip FULL of them!! SO my mom walks back around the corner and says "Excuse me but you do have them!" I am sure he thought "BITCH" but come on. If you do not know the answer or are not sure you ask? Chance are the next person would have not known either but there might have been one smart cookie in the bunch......Oh there is soooo many more annoying things that irritate me but I am going to leave it at that! You get the just of it......I am a bitch sometimes but hey I never claimed to be perfect! ;o)
This was all in fun so please don't take it personal......LOL. There that should help. =D
Until next time ~Jen (glad I got that off my chest) Diaz~

I am woman hear me roar....

            Do you ever have those days where you feel as if you are on a roller coaster? I do all the time! Emotionally that is....one minute you are happy go lucky the next you are  ready to gouge someone's eyes out and then you are  balling like a baby in a ball on the couch! Gotta love those female hormones! I feel like those episodes of Roseanne where the family hides from her on that "28th" day of the month! Those episodes use to crack me up until it became my reality and now I wanna hide from myself....!!! Even my dogs are saying "oh hell here we go again!!" True story.... I actually went to the doctor and told her that I felt like I was loosing my mind and I felt like Roseanne!!! They wanted to  put me on the pill. Um no thanks I had my tubes tied and shit I could never remember to take the pill anyway......3 kids are the proof of that! Well anyway I feel that the "28th" day is coming quickly and I am sooooo looking forward to it! (insert sarcasm here) So this is my friendly warning to my family and friends to BEWARE of Jenni she is "under construction" until further notice! Unless you a bearing gifts or CHOCOLATE.....lol ;o) =D :o}
Until we meet again ~Jen Diaz~ 

A Fabulous Wonderful Fantastic Unbelievable God Sent Day

Today was a Fabulous Wonderful Fantastic Unbelievable God Sent Day! Got the kids off to school and my mom and I went thriftin'. My big guy is a welder and he goes through clothes fast so I like to get his work jeans and t-shirts there. So anyway I made out like a bandit! (o; But you can read about that in my thrifty tips......back to my DAY! Me and the hubby were heading to Peoria for the afternoon...he had a job interview and wanted me to go with him. Well we go to town and went to his mom's house and she went with me to drop him off. While he was there we went thriftin'!  A double dose of thriftin'.......aahhhhh! HEAVEN on earth!! I have to say though did not really find anything. You'd think bigger city would have better or more stuff at least but not really true. But had fun none the less. Took her home and headed to pick up the man. He came out with the biggest cheese!!!!!!! Great feelings about this place and opportunity. Oh (God willing) he so deserves to work somewhere that treats their employees well. I am sleeping with my fingers crossed until next week ;o) After that we took the scenic route (because I missed my turn..oops) to Cold Stone Creamery! I have never ate there before and I loooooved it! Let's say if we had one here I would probably be a frequent flyer! I got germanchocolatecake....it was spelled different than that but anyway it tasted like heaven. SO thriftin', good vibes and yummy ice cream and the day was not over! WOW! And then I got the long awaited Scentsy email....they have come out with some fantastic new products for the Spring/Summer catalog and a Scented greeting card line and a whole new product line that is separate from Scentsy itself!!! A lot of opportunities for me and the hubby!!!! I feel so blessed today (and everyday) actually. It is the little things that matter in life. And today was full of them........I hope that I am bloggin' about more good news really soon 
~Until next time PLEASE keep your fingers crossed for the Diaz family~ Jen Diaz

You'll Eat It and You'll Like It...........

Do you ever feel like you cook the same thing over and over and over? Like spaghetti? I mean who doesn't love it but I feel like we eat it a lot! I am at a loss for new menu ideas. I have to please a child who hates cheese (yes for real), an anti-onion child and a husband that can't stand mushrooms...there goes the cream of mushroom recipes! I totally put onions in everything and she never knows...bwahahahhaaa and occasionally I sneak in a cream of mushroom here and there....sneaky I am!!! I wanna start eating healthier!  So I would love some imput from some other momma's..............(o;

     I had a four day weekend with the girls and I was never so ready for them to be back at school today! They have been arguing alot lately. About anything and everything! You name it....she looked at me, MOM she touched me, tell her to stop talking, it is my turn on the lap top, and on and on and on! I don't know if it is the whole stuck inside thing....no where to run off energy or bounce on the trampoline. All I know is that I need it to stop NOW! I know that fighting is normal but really this is a little much. I think alot has to do with the fact that the 2 oldest room is a train wreak and ya know that makes your attitude crappy. So now do I clean to help keep my sanity or do I prove a point and make them do it and endure the insanity for a while longer? Oh the decisions us moms need to make!!! I am not getting anything done today! I think that my motivation is on vacation for the day.  Today dinner is about all your gonna get!!! Tomorrow I will crack open my can of spinach and do something productive.....I hope! 

Until then ~Jen Lazy Pants Diaz~

I am not buying it......

As I sit here at night watching t.v. I notice that about every other commercial is about weight loss......call Jenny, Weight Watchers, Nutra System, and all the other odd drinks and pills. I am all about weight loss and getting healthy but every commercial people? And then if you notice it always says after they flash their beautiful spokes person "Results not typical!!" What the heck is that all about? Well when you can guarantee that I will look like Mariah Carey then  I am all about buying your product. Until then I will remain fat and sassy..........(o;
~good night all~ Jen Diaz
