THEIF!

My husband was caught red handed. He tried to sneak one of MY iced teas. We have issues sharing appearantly. I will go out of my way to hide whichever food is seriously not worth sharing. Honey roasted peanuts, cookies, chips, etc.

So, I took out an iced tea, and since I took one out, I think he thought since I was drinking one, that he could sneak it and make it look like it was mine. Little did he know that I finished mine a while back.

As I'm in the kitchen, there is an iced tea, COLD, and barely has any missing. WHAT A JACKASS! HE TRIED TO PULL ONE OVER ON ME.

Now I'm mad (sad, but true). So I wait until he's in the living room, and as he looks over, I start to pour MY/his iced tea down the drain. I know this is REALLLLLLY going to make him angry. He can't STAND wasting food or drink. He will go nuts!

So of course he runs in there OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? NOW IM REALLY PISSED LAUR! hahahahahhahahaha serves him right.

We begin to bicker on this stupid iced tea. And we are for sure getting legittamitly mad at eachother....

I tell him that I need to pour it out for 'my homies'. I don't know what that means, but I see people do it with alcohol on COPS all the time. So I thought it was a good point...

He then begins to break out into the robot...THE ROBOT! and he wont let me leave the kitchen. What's worse is that he has no idea how to do the robot...

Funniest moment of the week, by far. He makes me laugh so much. Even when I'm really getting upset that he's drinking MY favorite drink, he knows how to make me laugh.

I might be down one iced tea, but being married to this crazy man makes it okay :)

Things I love....

There are a lot of things I love.

First, obviously it is my son and my husband. They are my heart and soul. I live for them and get up every morning for them. It's an amazing feeling because I never thought I could love someone so much.

My family. Without my family I wouldn't be who I am today. I credit my mom and dad for making me such a strong and loving person. They are always there to support me and my family.

Husband's family. They are completely opposite in my family and aren't so conservative. It's a great switch up to mine. They are so loving and caring and I enjoy every second that we spend time together. Shannon, you're included in this part cuz you're like family :)

I love my husband's work ethic. Not just at his job, but at home as well. He is such a hard worker, whether it's redoing the house or doing yardwork. I love that about him.

I love my small group of girlfriends, whether they live 10 minutes away or live 2000 miles away. I adore them so much.And i love that facebook has brought some of them back into my life after losing touch. I don't get to see them often but time and distance doesn't diminish a friendship.One lady in particular means the world to my husband and I, Alycia...she's an unbelievable friend.

I love Disney World. I've been going twice a year since I was one. Disney movies, disney characters, all things that are Disney. I want to bring Braden up the way I was brought up and that involves taking a trip to Disney every year.

I love when baby sleeps. :) That doesn't happen a lot and if it does, it's a huge fight (as it is right now as he screams MAMA in his crib) but when it happens, I feel as though the heavens part and the sun beams show through the clouds.

I love my three dogs dearly, but I can't stand them at the same time. They are the most lovable dogs on the face of the earth and want nothing more but to kiss and love on everyone. It' a serious buzz kill though when they eat poop and climb fences to escape things...so it's a love hate relationship.

I love dressing up. I love when my husband dresses up too. He always looks so handsome. And you might think it's weird, but I love dressing up together and coordinating with each other on colors. Sometimes it is planned, sometimes it's not. And when it's not planned, and we do match, it's that much better.

Speaking of matching, I love when baby matches my husband. They look alike and then they match. It's just too much for me to take, I love it!

Those are just SOME of my loves. And this blog wouldn't be complete without mentioning that I love my SOULMATE, Linds :) She is my one and only ;) and i miss her dearly.  We met when we both worked for Walt Disney World and we were randomly picked to be roomies.We instantly became friends and she made my time at Disney World one of the best times I've ever had. We celebrated un-birthdays, she led lots of guys on LOL JARRY, we went to Magic Kingdom on random nights to go watch the fireworks shows...and so many other memories there. Now, years later, she's one of my closest and dearest friends. She was in my wedding and without her, I would not have stayed sane or have had my bow tied for my dress :) I LOVE YOU LINDS! Now she works and lives down there full time and I only get to see her when we make our annual WDW vacation....it's not enough! I WANT TO MOVE BACK THERE!!! IT'S WHERE THIS GIRL BELONGS!!!

Something I want to buy.....

Well, I could get into a whole list of things I really want to buy but were not able to. Another new car, a new house...blah blah blah.

But something that I will be going out to buy are those cute pampers patterned diapers. I'm in love with them. They are the absolute cutest. And I want to buy those jean diapers but hubby tells me to wait until baby can crawl rather then just sit there. WAHH!

That is something that is in my near future though. I adore them. I love putting baby in just a tshirt and diaper. His little legs are just too cute to cover up.

PLUS, I love that you can see baby's butt crack through his diaper and through his onsie. It always makes me laugh. It's the cutest butt crack on the block. Not that I've seen the butt cracks on our block, but I've seen the faces, and that's enough for me to make that statement and believe it HAHA

Something you bought recently

Yesterday, hubby, baby and I went out to go find a baptism outfit! We get into the store, barely after the guy in front of me slams the door on our face, and hubby is mad as all heck. He made a bigger scene then the guy in front of us made so to say the least, I was embarrassed lol. Hubby doesn't like when people do that to me and baby. He gets so fired up.

So we find some outfits, not going to lie, they are all weird looking. And of course, all white. I'm so scared he's going to poop out of it. He tends to do that on all his white outfits. I think he does it on purpose because he knows it gives me a complex. SO I plan on bringing a white onsie along with us, justttttt in case.

Then, of course, no shopping trip would be complete without the two of us bickering. Whether it's about the price of something, the necessity....whatever. This time, it was a debate on whether or not baby can go without shoes.

His outfit consists of shorts. Well, he cant just wear nothing, and my husband's defense is "JESUS DIDN'T WEAR SHOES"....oh my goodness. So, lucky hubby, no shoes fit my child's Flintstones feet so we had no choice but to go with socks. I AM NOT LETTING MY SON GO BAREFOOT AT HIS BAPTISM!!!!

Jesus didn't wear shoes......WHO IS THIS MAN I MARRIED?! LMAO

Nicknames you have and why

My family as I was growing up called me Petey. Story behind it was that my dad and brother were trying to get me to eat my food when I was a baby and I wouldn't, and then the dog from Little Rascals came on tv for a food commercial and a kid said, EAT PETEY, EAT, and so my brother said it to me, and the name stuck like glue.

I get called Laur a lot, and that is pretty self explanatory...

Hubby never calls me by my name, he calls me babe so when he does call out my name, it really catches my attention because it sounds so weird to hear him say it. 

Soulmate is what one of my dearest friends calls me and i call her back. We were roommates in Florida when we worked in Disney together and the name seemed to fit because we immediately became friends and inseparable. i love her to death. I would be lost without her.

That's about all of my nicknames, the other ones are either stage names or other innapropriate ones....JOKING!

A photo taken of you ten years ago....

Well the photo quality is bad for this picture, but it means SO much to me, that I don't really care.

 

This is a picture of my grandma and I on Christmas. I spent every day with my grandma (and grandpa) as I was growing up. She basically raised my brother and I. Just looking at the picture makes me start to tear up. We lost her almost 2 years ago. And this picture is special because she would NEVER pose for a picture. She would always cover her face or look the other way. So to have this picture of us together, means the world to me.

Pet Peeves

Well, I have a lot of pet peeves. My husband knows each one and will from time to time, exercise his right to use them.

I hate when people poke me, not only on facebook, but in real life. I can't stand it. It will instantly make me angry. So just don't do it, or I'll be upset for the rest of the day.

I hate when someone says "Try this food" and if I say no, they continue to ask and when still say no, they get mad. Go get someone else to try your damn food. If I say no, I mean no. It's simple as that. I'm pretty cut and dry here. It's not hard to read me when I say NO.

I can't stand a messy house, but I hate cleaning. I'll complain about the house being a mess while I am sitting down eating a bowl of ice cream. So this might be one of my husband's pet peeves now that I think about it. Me complaining of a messy house while sitting on the couch. lol

If I am watching a show, don't interrupt me. Even if it's a show on my DVR. Just don't do it. I understand that I have a pause button, but if I wanted to pause my show ten billion times, I wouldn't have started the show in the first place.

Another pet peeve is when someone is telling a story and gives pointless details. I don't care what shirt Margo was wearing that day. I don't care what building you guys walked into. GET TO THE POINT. And I can't stand when people get off topic...I do it all the time, but that's not the point LOL. I don't like when OTHERS do it.

I'm sure I have plenty more, and my husband can write a long list down for everyone...but let's just end it at that... :)

CRAVINGS

When I was pregnant and now, my cravings haven't much changed.

I crave an everything bagel with peanut butter and bacon. I'm well aware how weird it sounds, considering every time my hubby or I order it, they give us a look and ask for our order one more time thinking they heard us wrong. It is the ultimate bagel!! It's the best. Don't knock it until you try it. I'm the pickiest eater and if I like, it's WELL WORTH A SHOT!

MMMMMMMMM omg I want one now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meaning behind my blog name

The meaning behind The Three D's in Life is pretty simple. Diapers, Drool and Dryer Sheets.

I feel like those are the three things in my life that are a constant.

I go through diapers like we go through water. It's crazy.

Drool. Baby drools (a lot), dogs drool (a lot), husband drools every time he looks at me LMAO jk. ;)

Dryer sheets. Hubby and I used those everywhere. In trash bins, on the backs of fans, diaper pails...because they smelled so good. We put them in our suitcases when we traveled... Until, I found the scent from Scentsy that smelled exactly like a dryer sheet. I have a bunch of unused dryer sheet boxes now because my upstairs uses that scent from Scentsy, and we bought the bounce dryer bar. LOL lonely dryer sheets....

THAT is the meaning behind my blog name.

Favorite Song

Well, again, I don't have favorite songs, but I do have ones that mean a lot to me.

Obviously, the song hubby and I danced to at our wedding is one that sticks out in my head. You're Still the One by Shania Twain and Aerosmith's I don't want to miss a thing.

Heartland, I loved her first is always a song that makes me cry, and it makes my daddy cry everytime he hears it :) It was our Daddy Daughter Song at the wedding.

I love Disney songs. I'm a huge Disney freak lol. I worked at Disney World and have been going twice a year since I was 1 year old. (we have started baby off early, considering his first trip was at 2 months old and he's going again in November!!)

Hubby says that Just the way you are, by Bruno Mars and Smile by Unkle Cracker reminds him of me, so I like those songs too. (that picture is from a while back, when hubby had hair ;) hahah)

Anything like Me by Brad Paisley too!! That one makes me smile. About a dad and son :)

Venting about "moms"

So I use the term "mom" pretty loosely in this blog.

One of the biggest things that will drive me up the wall is when I see someone who is a mom, constantly going out and partying or never spending time with their child/children.

I just don't get it. How does someone claim to be a mom, and love their child SO much, and never spend time with them because they would rather be out drinking and partying? How is that a mom?

You gave birth to that child, Yes. You brought that child into the world, Yes. Technically, YES, you are a mom. But in the sense of being a true mom, you're not. You're a joke.

Being a mom isn't a part time job. It's a full time job, one that you don't get a break when you need one sometimes. You shouldn't WANT to call up your parents or friends or whoever to babysit while you go out to drink.

I just hate to read on facebook and see pictures of 'moms' constantly going out and getting trashed and leaving their child with their parents or friends when they could be a real mom and spend time with their child.

THAT IS MY VENTING FOR TODAY!!!!

I am proud to say that I am a REAL mom and that my friends are REAL moms.

Favorite Quote

My favorite quote is the one that was in our wedding ceremony. It means a lot to us and we fully believe in each sentence:

Take the time to be gentle; remembering that words harshly spoken trouble the spirit.

Take the time to talk to each other; the secret to all understanding is in open communication.

Don't be afraid to say what's on your mind, and listen wisely.

Take the time to remember that you chose one another to learn and to grow with; you each have something valuable to offer.

Be a good teacher and a good student.

Take the time to be alone so that you can gather your innermost thoughts and share them with each other when you're together.

Take the time to be thankful.

You have chosen your path together; take the time to make it the way you want it.

If change is needed, do it gracefully.

Take the time to be loving; it is the one thing everyone needs.

Always, in marriage, take the time to give each other more.

Favorite Books

I used to read all the time but now that I have a baby, it's hard to find time to sit down and enjoy a book.

A favorite of mine is Maneater and they actually made it into a tv movie. The books are always better.

Any Jennifer Weiner novel is a favorite. Some of my favorites are In Her Shoes (made into a movie), Little Earthquakes and Good in Bed.

The Notebook and Harry Potter books are also good!!!

Other then that, the only books that I am reading currently are plastic 5 paged books lol. Books that are very difficult to read, MA-MA, DA-DA, DOGGY, KITTY....etc. They really leave you hanging at the end... ;)

Favorite TV Shows

This is a tough one. I have my select shows and that's all I watch.

• Bethenny Ever After-if you ever werent sure on who my husband and I are, it's Bethenny and Jason. Those two are exactly like us, or vice versa lol.

• Quints by Surprise (so funny how life changes and all you watch are family shows)

• American Idol (I love Randy!!! YO DAWG! YOURE IN IT TO WIN IT!!!)

• DWTS (depending on who is in it...some of them drive me crazy, but I love Len)

• Police Women of Broward County and K9 Unit of Broward County (the two guys crack my hubby and I up)

• Kate plus 8 (the woman drives me insane...and I still watch)

• Yo Gabba Gabba (because it keeps my child bouncing in his bouncer an extra 24 mins)

• All of the Real Housewives (they are crazy and since I have no drama in my life, they fill it)

• Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen ( I love Andy and when he has Jimmy Fallon on his show, it makes me that much happier)

I have to give it to Yo Gabba Gabba, because those crazy things are life savers. : ) They have the craziest "lyrics" like, "I like eating noodles, it's something that's fun, I like to run in circles, cuz that's what I like to dooooo" lol Weirdos. but my son loves them. Does that make my son a weirdo? :)

Favorite Movies

I hate to say it, but I don't watch movies. I never watched movies when I was younger really. So you will really see how outdated my movie list is.  I hate scary movies, I can't watch them because my imagination goes into overtime and completely gets the best of me, for years. Not lying. I'm still recovering from jaws as I want go into the ocean...

Here is my "list"

• Spice World-this movie makes my list because I watched it when I was younger over 50 times. 

• Grease-this also makes the list due to the same reason. Along with the fact that I know every single dance and song. (who doesn't)

• Any Disney Movie. ANY! Cinderella, Nemo, Cars, Toy Story, Bugs Life, Beauty and the Beast...that list can go on forever. Disney movies are the best and my absolute favorite.

This is a pathetic movie list and I'm sure you will all think I'm lame. I just never have really enjoyed movies. I don't think half of the comedies are funny. I think romantic comedies are lame and I hate scary movies. LOL so where does that leave me?!?!?!?!


IT LEAVES ME WITH SPICE WORLD IN MY NUMERO UNO SPOT LOL

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 1

I have been made aware of the 30 Day Blog Challenge by a fellow blogger that I love and decided to take the challenge on...
Day One-Post a recent picture of yourself and 15 random facts

1. I am terrified of butterflies and birds. I don't know why, but they scare the you know what out of me. I hate how they flutter and they are just so unpredictable.
2. I wish I could be a vegetarian, but I love meat too much. But, I can't think about what I'm eating, otherwise I get too weirded out and can't finish.  Plus, being a vegetarian wouldn't work because the only veggies I eat are french fries...everyone tells me those don't count...I ignore them.
3. I donate money to charity any chance I get. I force my husband to as well. It is so important, even to donate one dollar. Anything helps and it makes you feel good.
4. I graduated high school early. Not because I am extremely smart LOL but because I had all my credits finished. The option was there, and I took it. But I'll pretend it's because of grades.
5. I am one of the most talkative people, but when it comes to going out, I'm not a fan. I have a very close circle of people that I surround myself with and I stick to it. I don't like to go out at all really. 
6. If you wake me when I'm sleeping, just know that you have woken up a bear. I hate to be bothered when I'm sleeping.
7. I have the worst mood swings. I'm a woman, what do you expect? Something can just not sit well with me, and then I'm mad until I work myself out of my mood. 
8. I expect my husband to be able to read my mind completely. When he can't, I get upset.  
9. I still sometimes think that all toys are alive when you aren't looking. Toy Story made me think that way. And until they come out and tell me it's fake, I'll keep believing ;)
10. I love scratch off lottery tickets, and get so excited to play BUT every single time, I lose. I know I'm going to lose, but I still get so disappointed. 
11. I have an issue if my son isn't dressed in matching clothes. My husband will put a neon green onsie on him with red pants. It drives me up the wall. He needs to be coordinating with every piece of clothing, down to his socks and shoes. Even the trim on the onsies need to match. 
12. I think I might have OCD lol
13. I'm a jeans and tshirt kind of girl but I also love to dress up. But if I can't get my hair just right with either outfits, I will go back into my sweats.
14. I'm a huge animal lover. I can't stand hunters. I think it's disgusting and I think that you don't have a heart if you hunt.
15. I'm addicted to getting freebies. Whether it's couponing (I've got 500$ worth of free baby food at one time) or getting freebies in the mail. I'm insanely addicted and can't wait to check the mail box each day. It softens the blow when I get bills in the mail :)

HORNDOGGIES!

Husband and I decided that it would be a great day to go fishing. Well, he decided it was a great day to fish, I was feeling extra nice and agreed to go. He did buy me Malley's chocolates and all....he deserves a YES now and then ;)

So we went to the eye doctor first because we both needed a checkup and then off to the park we went.

He was convinced that he could catch something. And he kept getting 'bites' but the only bites I was getting were from the damn mosquitos. So, to say the least, I wasn't loving it. But, I put on a smile and just took pictures.

Across the lake was a couple sitting on a bench. Clearly, we could see them, and they could see us. I got this vibe that they were either just starting to date or they were having an affair. How's THAT for jumping to conclusions? They were just acting very secretive. So every now and then I would glance over and they were kissing or hugging or whatever...innocent...


I decided that I needed to catch a fish since husband wasn't. He took over the camera. As I was 'fishing' (casting about ten feet in front of me probably doesn't count as fishing) husband starts hysterically laughing. Until I hear an "OH!". I'm not sure what he's doing so I just continue on.

He comes down by the water and shows me the camera....

THIS IS WHAT HE CAUGHT:

 

SO SEXY HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I was sitting on that bench 15 mins before the horndogs were...

So just a note to all park goers....don't forget that it's a public place. You don't know WHAT'S been going down on the bench before you....

horny son of a guns ;)

OH and by the way...If you are planning on cutting the grass at your house, please make sure to wear all your clothes. For anyone who read the neighbor blog, Single mom with the terror of a child decided to cut the grass today, in a bra and hot pants. A BRA.

(no i didnt take a picture, i didn't want to burn that image into your brain like it is mine....) BE THANKFUL!

Who let all the animals out!?!?!

My mom and I decided to venture to the zoo today and it was an interesting day...understatement, maybe.

Driving to the zoo, we pull up to a van that has a bunch of dog stickers all over it. And then there's those stick figure stickers of just a guy and a dog. So, I'm like, wow this guy is pretty damn lonely, just him and his dog....and then I read the bumper sticker he has...."I LOVE VAGINA". NO WONDER WHY YOU'RE ALONE WITH YOUR FREAKING DOG!!! NO SANE WOMAN IS GOING TO SWOON OVER A MAN WHO HAS A TRAMP STAMP FOR HIS VAN STATING HOW MUCH HE LOVES THE VAGINA....

We get to the zoo and it must have been "Ugly Person Day" or all the animals escaped and were running around.  Now, I'm not the most gorgeous woman in the world by any means BUT I felt like I was among a different breed today. One that I've never encountered before. Well, I did encounter a few of them at the Pville International Food "Festival" (I use the term festival loosely because I'm pretty sure a few feet of random food carts does not count as a festival)....I'm getting away from my point LOL


Were walking around and decide we don't want to walk any longer and want to take the tram. So were sitting in line and then an ambulance comes and stops our trip. The tram can't move. So for me, this is great because the ambulance is a quick thing. Get in, get out, get the sick person to a hospital. To the rest of the world, this is an unwelcomed delay and they all get out of line. So were moving our way up in the line...and then this old man (alone) decides that the back of the line just wont do. So he takes it upon himself to fully make his way to the front of line. He passes us and the couple in front of us and that is as far as he got because a wheelchair was blocking him (damn wheelchair, always gets in the way LOL). So he sits down next to the couple. Then, the tram lady says "Party of Two?" to the couple, and the man stands up, waves his one finger in the air (no, not the middle one) and runs up to the lady...THE DAMN MAN GETS ON THE TRAM! So now I'm cracking up because I can't believe him. The lady comes back and gets the couple. Then comes back for us and says there is room for us. So she shows us where to shit and WHO DO WE GET TO SQUEEZE IN NEXT TO?! The freakin' line jumper himself, old man river. I get in the tram and wait for my mom and baby to hop in. My mom goes to get in, but takes a look behind me and almost loses it because she started laughing so hard. I had to take baby because she couldn't even get her behind on the tram, that's how hard she was laughing. Then baby looks over at him and starts hysterically laughing. Out of nowhere.

So now the tram is moving and we have a family in front of us. Obviously Jewish because of the yamaka. So the kids were SO incredibly bad and so my mom was giving me the eyes like, "OMG!!". Well, we get off the tram and I said, "wow, what was that?" and she boldly states, "THEY ARE ORTHODOX JEWS! THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL YAMAKAS"....(yes, thank you mom, I realized that, I was actually refering to the badly behaved children.....not the yamakas). As she says it, not realizing how loud she is, THERE THEY ARE!!! Right next to us....I just put him head down and pushed the stroller...all my mom could say was, "NICE".

We walk into the place where the monkeys are and now guess who is back? The Line Jumper. And he's going the same pace as us. That's awkward. Why do you have to go the same pace? Why can't you be one step ahead or behind...? So, he's trying to get all the monkeys attention by tapping on the glass. NEWS FLASH, THE GLASS IN AN INCH THICK. THE MONKEYS CAN'T HEAR YOU, NOR DO THEY CARE TO ENTERTAIN YOUR TAPS IF THEY COULD HEAR YOU! He realized his taps weren't working. So he decides to whistle at them...not working. So what does any sane line jumper decide to do? MONKEY CALL THEM!?

By this time, I have lost it. I can't contain my laughter anymore. I decided it was time to get his picture. So I waited for him as he was stuck in the crowd at the one monkey glass.  I pretended I was going to take a picture of the fish tank and I got him!!!

This was by far, the best entertainment I got all day. It just made me laugh so hard. I wish I would have followed him for the rest of the day so I could just snap pictures...




Next on our trip at the zoo was the giraffes. Baby LOVES giraffes. Not sure what it is, but he's in love. He has Sophie the Giraffe and it's his favorite. So, on our walk to the giraffes, we catch a guy who has jumped the ropes, picking long grass by the handfuls. My mom and I aren't shocked by anything at this point and so we look and shake our heads and chuckle...then we realize that him and his daughter are feeding the giraffes. FEEDING THE GIRAFFES FOOD THAT THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE EATING. There is a sign that clearly says, No Feeding Our Wildlife. There are ropes that to a normal person would say, KEEP OUT....not to these people. They have the giraffe reaching to get to them, eating the grasses. They are kidding the giraffes and petting them. I didn't realize this was a freakin' petting zoo.

BUT, that being said, I got some great shots and baby got to get up close and personal with a giraffe and started laughing so hard at the mouth full of grass and weeds that the jackasses were feeding it....so I was still happy :)

Last was the Elephants. It's a new exhibit and it's amazing. They have the cutest little elephant statue that you can sit on. I decide I want baby to get his picture...and I waited a long time in line for this picture. Here is the result, which I found out later on when I looked at the pictures as we were driving home....

 

Clearly, there is no elephant statue in sight. My son does not look like he is riding on the elephant. We have some great pictures of the trees. When I asked what happened she said, "{baby} is in it, that's all that matters...." (sigh....)

So all in all, it was a great day at the zoo. I love spending time with my mama and baby loves his nana so much.  We really did have a great time there and can't wait to go back...well, maybe we will go to a different zoo next time... ;)

Here are a few other pictures that I was able to snap:
