i had my super fat beagle waiting for me as soon as i arrived. and then my 

most favorite part about eden nc.. MY REDDERHALF..isnt she purty?!

she took me to cookout ten minutes after i got home at dos in the morning

we stayed up till 7  & we had visits from boyfriends past 

we watched zenon: the 21 first century {zeetus lapetus}

we kicked my little sister out of her bed aka my old bed and 

slept till 10ish because my little brother screams like a newborn child.

shes truly made my first few hours in NC the best.

im so happy i have my gingersnap again.

and im so glad to be home 

how much is too much nyquil?

i honestly dont understand how lil wayne does it. get high off of nyquil or cough syrup that is. i mean yea i feel ten times better after i take it but i could never drink enough to where i would get high! oh the stupid celebrities people look up too. anyway.. i have been deathly ill for the past two days {stuffy/runny nose , throbbing headache} and its perfect timing too cause i get to sit on a plane pretty much all day tomorrow and i promise you that the flight attendants will hate me. or anyone else around me since i will be making the gross noise with my nose. and sneezing every five seconds..thats also a drag. but even though i have felt crummy i looked past it and got so much accomplished today it was so powerful like superman powerful. i woke up at 6 to give myself the fastest shower ever and i even blow dryed my hair this morning { that never ever happens } i checked facebook. told my sister happy birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH TP KINNEY. i even put on makeup ?? whaaaa. that never happens either. cherish[the chief] texted me at approximately 6:47 when i usually leave my house at 6:53, to go back to bed and to not come into work till 9. FAIL of a morning and waste of my makeup and my right arm muscle for holding that stupid hair dryer. so i did as instructed and got back into bed. although i maybe slept for like 45 minutes cause it was so dang windy. like possibly 50mph people. like god was whistling super hard this morning.

and my little brown child graduated from preschool. 

i was the proudest nanny there..and the only one! 

the kids watched kid history..funniest thing on youtube. and i played waitress at dinner tonight.. you see..usually we make a buffet line and everyone kicks/hits/pushes/slaps/farts/screams and all the other obnoxious things a child can do to a sibling so i was soooo over it and i decided why dont we play restaurant* cause i always use to play when i was little with dz and it was our favorite. so i made them all sit at the table. "hi my name is stacey and i will be your waitress tonight, so lets get started with drinks." obviously a crowd of kids who will prefer mcdonalds over pretty much anything didnt take me seriously. but i think i would have been a pretty dang good waitress eh?! they were all acting like animals but i got the job done. and i think they actually had a pretty good time with it. you can call me a genius, go ahead. i then introduced the kids to SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!! eva dances whenever she hears music and all the boys do flips on the trampoline so i thought it was perfect and they were all glued to the tv like the little zombies they are. i leave tomorrow for NC and im pretty excited my charlie chaplin called me tonight and told me he cleaned out his beamer just for my suitcase and me for when he picks us up at the airport..im a special one to charlie chaplin you best believe that. 

have a happy happy weekend!

* i honestly dont know how to spell this word and i dont plan on learning..so thankgoodness for spell check.

dont talk black to me

this is not a racial slur,its from modern family..and you need to watch that show asap!!
i love all my brown children especially faith.
lately she has really tested my patience and has probably caused premature grey hairs.
we had a conversation last week and this is how it went

SCENE 1: newmans living room watching some stupid stupid show
eva is basically a zombie as she lays on the couch and watches tv
faith has tv ADD so she cant sit still and im pretty sure she wasnt even watching the show
stacey is folding laundry and randomly watching the brain-draining show

stacey "girls you need to go upstairs and clean up the mess you made in your room"


faith "aaaaaah do we have too?"


{eva hasnt even acknowledge that i even opened my mouth}


stacey "yes"


faith "what if i dont clean my room"


stacey "ill throw you out the window"


faith chuckles "no you wont"


stacey head starts to slowly fill with flames "faith just go upstairs please and clean your room, if you go eva will go"


{note the fact eva is practically not involved in this whole situation}

faith "growls&moans and makes weird noises thinking thats going to change my mind"


stacey  "im going to count to three"


faith "why do you and mommy count to three?"


stacey  "because we have asked you to do something more than one time and you still havent done it so its a chance for you to dash to your room before i slap your bum with the broom."


faith "but what happens when you get to three?"

stacey "faith seriously i am going to throw something at you, go upstairs."

faith "well start counting so i can run upstairs"

stacey  "it would be better if i didnt count"


faith  "but you need to count"

stacey "oh my gaaaaaaaah .. 1 .."


{faith runs to the bottom of the stairs, along with zombie eva}

faith  "why did you stop counting?"

stacey  "because you started to go upstairs"


faith  "well you need to count to three"

stacey steam is streaming out of ears "2...3"

{hear them slam their door }

..seriously?!!

but its not like i could be frustrated with this precious african for long

cause i mean look at her ..shes soo dang cahuute.

yoga yoga yoga

 today i taught faith how to do yoga

 shes quite flexible 

 and i am pretty sure she was bored the whole ten minutes

she would rather do crunches. 

dont you all wish you had a little brown child just like me?!

gone to carolina in my mind

james taylor has always said it best;

i return to my stupid little hometown of two rivers and two circles in 9 days.. oh but eden how i have actually missed thee. your amazing bridge that everyone hangs those oh so stupid sheets on. {ive secretly always wanted one up for me} highway 14 and kings highway: how everything i have ever wanted were on those two streets. wendys shake and fries that i would always get on sunday.[ sarah would always buy them so i wouldnt break the sabbath..genuis?i thought so too] the walmart where lou and i would spend our weekends cause its her most favorite store ever. late night runs to cookout for a HUGE cheerwine..seriously its called huge. biscuitvilles beautifully made biscuits and seasoned fries that would always satisfy our tummys on saturdays after a crazy friday night. the swings at central that i would always go to if i wanted to be alone or if i wanted to gossip with my redfriend or taloula. the greenways long track of woods. draper and all of its ghettoness. sonics happy hour. elizabeths pizza after every soccer game. sakura with red cause shes basically a japanese person. the sunday drives gingersnap and i would take every week through the back roads of the country as the sun would set. (we were quite romantic) we found our first child on one of these drives. {miss you babygirl} family video, the most happening place in all of eden..it would also present our eyes with the newest releases for our viewing pleasure. the kinney compound on the weekends was the place to be or you were officially the biggest loser ever. berry hill rd was always a danger at night with the deers and the amazingly amazing way you could drive 100 mph and never get caught {atleast i never did} oh and the drive in..what eden is most famous for..where weed is dealt and babies are conceived ..oh but only if you parked all the way in the back. 

vanessa always told me that if i stayed close enough to where i could come home every weekend, i would never experience anything..and boy was my mother right. [shes a smart one, that boston is] im glad i moved 2000 miles away, it makes me appreciate my roots, cause i never did when i actually lived there. ps- vanessa doesnt even like north carolina, shes dreams of the day all of her children will be neighbors and we will have sunday dinner at her house every week in UTAH, of all places. lets just say once im done with school and once i find my better half..ill be making sure we go back to nc..nowhere near eden, but most definitely north carolina. {get over it v} im excited to go home and see my bestfriends and my family. its definitely needed, and we will be taking our annual family vacation down to myrtle beach..which is always my favorite cause who doesnt like that beach?! 

..crazy people like these two thats who.

happy hump day.

fancy schmancy

whoever created this i would like to give them a high five.

..no seriously it is the best thing ever invented since strawberries

{cause strawberries are the best thing evaaaa}

anyhoo. my favorite day is watching anything and everything that i want too. 

at work to escape from the madness of being a 19 year old mother i drown my frustrations into shows.

shows as in lost; i have grown to love this show..and everyone on this show even

 john locke and ben linus. i give mad props to the writers of this show they have successfully confused me more than any math class i have ever taken & that takes mad skill people. if youve never layed your eyes upon the geniusness of a show..go now and feast in its super confusing story line. just think..its basically a month long movie. its pretty rad so go watch it now!!

and as of last night i am a proud gleek. 

{i had movie night with my brown child} 

have a happy weekend, ill be a mothering

taco tuesday

eva maryanne.

she is four, NOT pottytrained. not trained. i honestly think shes bipolar. 

her birthday is the day after mine. she could live off of chocolate milk. 

she is afraid of bugs. she cries more than any person should. shes thinks shes a princess

she will tell random people her name is ariel. she wants to be just like faith. she loves 

jump on it. she has the cutest little tummy on the planet. i love her stories. i love her dance moves. i just love her little guts so much. 

{she ate lunch on the floor and then we watched curious george}

a whole day dedicated to vanessa and it ain't even her birthday.

this is my boston aka the moms

a few facts about my mom

1. she will DO anything for anyone 

2. she actually gives good advice

3. she tries to make the good out of every situation

4. she will forever and always be my favorite yankee

5. i have a lot of the same characteristics as her but i deny it.

6. she has the greatest laugh ever. {picture above is what it looks like}

7. she is pretty much the coolest woman eva

8. she actually lets me be my true self an isn't ashamed of it .. i think?!

9. she is slowly turning into my nanny and i love it

10. i am sealed to her for eternity 

ladies and gentleman i have given this woman the most amount of hell anyone could give their mother and no matter what i ever said or ever did she has always loved me the same. vanessa and i use to fight a lot and i remember thinking to myself how awesome its gonna be when i graduate and i am out on my own to not have my parents around as much and to be completely honest..i regret thinking that at all. i mean i have my older sister and all but nothing is like my mom, there just isn't another woman out there like her. I have my bestfriends mom and my moms bestfriends who have all been great motherly figures in my life but none of their advice strikes me like my vanessas does. on our long journey to utah i think is the honest i have ever been with that woman and i honestly did it cause i knew i wouldnt be able to be grounded or anything..but i am so glad i did cause i have nothing to hide and even though i know in the past i have dissapointed my mom and definitely let her down she still loves me unconditionally like any mother should. i am so truly grateful for my heavenly father giving me such an amazing person to call my mother. she has taught me everything i know. she has seen me on my worst days and on my best and  i wouldnt be who i am today if it werent for her and i am truly blessed to have her in my life. i can only hope i can be as good as a mother to my children as she has been to me and my siblings. 

i love you mom.

from the famous words of rebecca black : friday friday friday

its finally friday and its 74 degrees.. let me say that one more time  74 DEGREES. holy moley!! i am so excited that spring has finally sprung in zion! it feels so good even were jumping on the trampoline with sprinkelers. boooyah

have a happy weekend! 

and happy birthday bob & happy birthday to amy tomorrow 

cons and pros

today was the worst day of my life..ok not really but it was definitely bad, michael jackson bad! i dont think i am an emotional person..i mean give me a good book, ill cry. a good movie, ill cry. someone dies, ill cry. and all the normal things cause i do have a soul and all .. but if its none of that stuff it either means its a pretty freakin big deal or its my TOM {time of the month} its a crucial time for any woman. i mean i didnt ask for it and im pretty sure i wouldve passed the kind present along if i was asked cause who wants that .. NOBODY does. well im not one of the girls that gets all witch mode and acts like the hulk or anything .. i do get frustrated easily though and then that could lead to crying. well today it led to crying three different times. holy moly i know right. cry baby! it was pathetic and all i wanted was a super huge cup of hot cocoa and a ton of chick movies in my cozy bed and possibly a hot guy to snuggle with and it would have been the best way to spend today ... but since life is unfair i had to work for the whole 8 hours..rude. i even worked out it was fast but i still did it. i even sat in the freezing utah weather and watched my favorite 9 year old play futbol. today really wasnt all that bad now that i think about it. i mean yea i did act like a crazy woman a few times but i mean im a girl for crying out loud..everyone expects a little drama ya know?! a lot of awesome things happened and a lot of awkward things happened.

awkward:

1. bona doesnt like butter? if he only knew how much of what he eats has butter on/in it

2. making cookies that i thought were just plain chocolate chip but they were definitely oatmeal chocolate chip.ew

3. faith actually giving me advice today ..shes 5

4. massey texting me annoying things and making me want to remove is favorite appendage out of rage.

5. a nine year old knowing more espanol than i..crazy right?!

6. i seriously ran a mile while listening to country music..country music and working out just dont go together people

7. sitting in the freezing windy cold with just a hoodie and shorts on .. and i have not shaved my legs, it was gross

8. having three freaking meltdowns about the most randomist things ever.

awesome:

1. amy is the utah version of kendra and i love it. 

2. i almost finished packing up all the nonsense junk in the newmans kitchen..10 points 

3. i ate strawberries with my lunch today

4. watched lion king and actually enjoyed evas company today

5. faith was excited to see me when she got home from preschool

6. telling harmony who i had a crush on so she would tell me her crushes name..ps - his name is gavin ;)

7. having a awesome workout in like 45 minutes is unheard of .. but i accomplished that tasks because im awesome

8. bob pretty much made my day..again!

tomorrow will be a better day. you know why? cause i only have to work 5 out of the 8 hrs i normaly work. boooyah.

homework time is always a joy with this broad.

id say half pig - half horse. what do ya think?!

USA

I remember as if it happened yesterday

September 11, 2001

I was sitting in my 4th grade math class..my teacher was ms.forsyth and she turned the tv on and we started watching the news. being a 9 year old i wasnt a fan of the news..i didnt know what was going on, i didnt even know what the twin towers were, all i remember is all the dust and they kept showing the footage of the towers falling. almost ten years later, this event has changed america. I have had multiple assignments on this particular day and it always broke my heart.people lost their loved ones not only from being in the planes or towers but from the firefighters and nypd. today will go in history books and will definitely be remembered always.

 I am so very grateful to be an american and so very grateful for our troops.
