Randomness

I don't know if anyone believes in love at first sight but that's what I have with Walt. I truly and honestly believe he is my soul mate. I love the hecks out of this man. He is so amazing. From day one he had me mesmerized. With his strong beliefs and believe it or not strong opinions; (even though most of my friends tend to think he's on the quiet side, let me tell you now you are mistaken!), he had me captivated. Here is this man who accepts me no matter what....and I really do mean that.

For those of you that know me best you know my rocky relationship with my parents. Walt saw this first hand when I was 16 years old....he knew from day one what he was accepting. A seriously dilusioned, heartbroken, dysfunctional mess of a 16 year old. Who had no acceptance of herself or her abilities to be a genuinely nice person. Believe it or not....I used to be a serious mess....I was a horrible friend...back stabbed anyone close to me...and constantly started rumors about people who were my friends because I was mad or jealous.

Walt really changed this about me....he wasn't affraid to confront me, or to make me start believing that I could change and be a better person. About 1 year after we started dating...I had a previous friend approach me and tell me that she noticed I was a much nicer and happier person since I started dating Walt. I was shocked because I always thought I was a nice and happy person. I guess I was sadly mistaken.

Walter had big plans for us....about 4 months into dating...granted I wasn't even 17 yet...he started talking about when we "get MARRIED" we are going to do so many things?!?! I was thinking....is this guy crazy? We are kids! Kids don't get married.....jeez he is soooo pushy. My initial reaction was to blow him off.....and then about a year later.....in my bedroom.....right before he was to be playing at the UNLV Basketball game (no not basketball....LOL he was in the PEP band!)....he told me to wait in my room...and not come out until he said so. My thought: ....he's had it with me....he's breaking up with me and he's telling my parents first....

Boy was I wrong......30 minutes later....he walks in....PEP bank uniform on and everything.....I am sitting on my bed.....he walks up next to me....gets down on 1 knee.....takes my hands.....and says he doesn't want to live life without me in it....he asked my dad for permission and got the okay.....he brought out a ring box and proceeded to ask me to spend the rest of my life with him!!! I was floored....shocked.....scared....is he serious? He has 1 single tear in his right eye...I can't even call it a tear....I have never seen him so emotional before.....did this really just happen??? And what the HECKS.....Did I just say YES???!?!?!?

The rest is history.....3 months after I was fully legal the old man ( I call him that cause he is a full year older then me).....gave me his last name (Yeah)....good deal for me! I went from Tina Ann Stelmaszczyk....to Tina Ann Thomas <- Doesn't this have an amazing ring to it? Much better then Stilsmelzit ( that was my nickname)...it's polish....what do you expect!?!?

So Walter....as I am reflecting on our life so far together...I am wondering where the hecks did 15 years go??? I still feel like we just got married and we are newlyweds and we don't really know what we are doing.......my only regret?.....why didn't we have kids sooner? We make the best kids together....I am so sorry my body failed so many times....I think if I could change anything it would have been to be one of those women who gets pregnant without thinking about it....I hate my body for denying that too you.....

But when I think back to those nightly shots in my ass....my ovaries the size of grapefruits....the horsepiss shot that made me cry like a baby...I swear it made me feel like my leg was on fire....the egg retrieval....26 eggs baby!....my ovaries rocked!....the painful squirting you had to do in a cup!...I know that was not fun baby.....the implementation.....and the fact that I had to pee like a race horse right after....and you swearing you were going to hurt me if I pee'd our babies out! LOL.....the painful Progestrone Oil shots in my ass that left marks for months......this was all so worth it when we first looked on that Ultrasound machine screen on November 12th, 2002 and got to see 2 little black sacs....our babies Walt! Those are our babies! Our Love...created by another....but grown by us.....I want to do it again...all over again....I want a hundred of your babies!

I love you so much Walt.....you are such an amazing person. I feel so honored to be your wife...to have your love. You treat me like I am this precious gift. You honor me and love me unconditionally....and I can't thank you enough for that. You are my other half....and I am not complete without you here.


I love your Face!

Changes

So the kids are getting ready to turn 6. Where did the time go? It seems like yesterday Walt and I were just bringing them home from the hospital.

We are thinking of trying again next year for some more. The kids are really excited about being a big brother or sister. I hope we don't disappoint them! I keep trying to get my sister to get prego again too so we can go through it together...and my sister in law is thinking of it again too...so that would be really cool!

I just want to say God...thank you for giving me amazing kids...and Walt thank you for giving me mini you's!! The kids are a great mixture of us both but they both look like you. I am just the nanny after all! LOL

It's amazing the things people will say to you...I can remember being in Sam's Club when the kids were about 8 or 9 months old. Granted at that time the kids had very little hair, big blue eyes (still do) and the hair they had was white. I have dark brown hair and dark eyes. So this old lady was commenting on the kids and saying they behaved so well. And then she asked me if I was their "nanny". I almost DIED!

Walt and I have had many funny moments with the kids out and about. Owen is my little thinker. He reminds me of "Deep thoughts" by Jack Handy on Sat Night Live! It's always this deep question but at the same time makes Walt and I laugh so hard!

Keelee is my drama queen....she's usually very easy going, listens well....but she's a little dramatic. Very quick to cry if you look at her funny. It used to bother me alot and I totally babied her when she did it...now I laugh. Not sure if that's the correct way to handle it.

They are amazing...they are both reading now, which we are very proud of. I am waiting for the moment when my children realize they are smarter then me. How long can I keep up this sherade that I am all knowing? It won't last much longer that's for sure! LOL

No more Jon and Kate plus 8 for me!!

I am boycotting Jon and Kate

I don't know if anyone watched the last episode where they had their "big announcement". I was truly heartbroken.

I can't believe this couple let 15 minutes of celebrity break them up. I want to say I blame money hungry Kate, but Jon's as much to blame as well.

Here are two people that if you watch their first episodes really loved one another. Yes they had their fights and they always seemed to make up. Always calling their interview sessions as "therapy".

So I refuse to support a show that will now consist of 8 children living in a mansion with 2 parents floating in and out several days in a row.

I am not in their shoes so I don't know what it's like. But I do have 16 years of marriage under my belt and know that it takes work.

Anyone that knows me and Walt knows what it took for us to have kids. We were married for 10 years before we had kids. So we got to know each other pretty well. But when kids come along things can change if you don't have that amazing connection. It will seem more like a struggle then like team work. My advice to many younger married couples is to not have kids for the first 5 years. Really get to know each other and spend that quality time together. It will be worth it when you make that decision to bring children into this world.

The world is hard enough and now Jon and Kate's kids are going to be known as those "kids who's parent's got divorced on TV". They will probably be in history books. I think it's horrible that they are continuing the show.

This of course is my personal opinion...and of course no body relevant reads my blog! So I can say what I want! LOL

New Make-up Find

So Keelee brings home this adorable little blue box and says "look what Grandma gave me". She takes it out and there is this really cute bottle of lip tint and it's in the shape of a raindrop! First of all shiny boxes just excite me in general - then you add a prize inside and I get delirious! And I'm not talking about the shiny box surprise I once got from Walt - but that's a whole other story. He has a twisted way of giving me really nice and expensive gifts. But of course that was B.C. (before children).
Again - I digress...

Shiny box - oh yes I remember. At the time of this little discovery I was making dinner so I didn't get to enjoy the full dynamics of this little treasure. Dinner ends and Keelee has gone to her room for "girl time". There's the box and it's just staring at me. I calmly pick it up and begin to inspect the lip tint. By now I have discovered it's not lip tint it's actually a lip conditioner. I take a look at the ingredients on the box and to my surprise everything is NATURAL! It has: Castor Oil, Aloe Vera Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Hawaiian Kukui Nut Oil, Mango Butter, Beeswax,Vitamin E and Avocado Oil. This is amazing!!




They are local out of Las Vegas, NV and the prices aren't too bad either. Comparable to high end makeup like MAC etc.

The thing I liked most about this lip conditioner is it has this really pretty shimmer to it. Most of us who where shimmery lip anything's know how frustrating it is to actually feel the glitter on your lips. This product is amazing. It provides the shimmer and you hardly feel it on your lips at all. It's not tacky and has a great taste from all the natural ingredients.

And of course this is where Walt stepped in and totally made fun of me...calling me a connoisseur of Lip Gloss! He pretty much compared me to a wine taster when I was reviewing this lip conditioner. He thinks he is sooooo funny!

I am so impressed with this one product that I can't wait to get some more! And how cute is this packaging. The company's name is Rain Cosmetics and the website is www.raincosmetics.com
