Congratulations Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck

Congrats on their 3rd child Samuel Garner Affleck born Feb 27th xxx

Now Jen Garner is one of my fave celebs. She comes across as so down to earth and is always seen with her kids dropping them to and from school. They both seem very involved parents which is a bit of a rarity in celebsville. 

Shock Horror Beyonce Breastfeeds ..... in Public

 Gwen Stefani Breastfeeding at the park

 Pierce Brosnans Wife Keeley

 Eva Herzigna

 Julie Bowen - Yes Her off Modern Family - Double Kudos to tandem feeding

 Lucy Lawless - Xena Warrior Princess

 Miranda Kerr

Ive been off for awhile as I got busy but as monkey is getting older Im just about having a little more time these days. In trying to find something to talk about I stumbled across Beyonce breastfeeds her baby which apparently is made worse as she did it in public. Its horrific isnt it? (note the sarcasm)

Im not a Beyonce fan in slightest I dont particularly like her music and find all the videos seem to be monochrome and one piece suited. She also always has those two girls with her zzzzzzzzzzzz  sorry I dropped off thinking about her anyway good on her for breastfeeding and major kudos for having the balls as a celeb to do it in public.

I was browsing UsWeekly online and Im in shock at some of the remarks by people. It goes to show how uneducated some people are that they compare breastfeeding to peeing and pooping. It is total head banging against the wall time because they are so ignorant and the media feeds on it. Hopefully the likes of Beyonce and Miranda Kerr can help encourage mums to use what God (or Nature) gave you to feed your child. 

Im not anti formula as Im the only one of my group of friends who breastfeeds and its my choice just as it is theirs. What I am against is people making it out that breastfeeding is disgusting when it is so obviously not. I feel sorry for the people who commented so disgustingly they need to go back to school and reeducate themselves.

Sad Times

Update: In December my Auntie In Law passed away in hospital with her husband. At least now she is at peace. Thinking of you always xxx 




So sad and annoyed - I cant post this on the wall because family will read and they are psychotic and I dont think they did enough. My Auntie In Law who I thought was fab has been an alchie but MIL thought it best not to tell any of us and to hide it. We found out from her daughter who is few years younger because she needed someone to talk to but we werent to tell people (she was telling us and others that her hubby had tried to throttle her, etc and of course not knowing she was an alchie). Well her hubby left her and mil and gmil decided that she was a bitch to their son/brother so decided to wash their hands of her too.

Last year she was rushed into hospital around the time of my wedding and was told if she drank again that would be it shes in such bad shape it would kill her. She was doing so well looking good, doing voluntary work and putting her life on track. but then say Sept time I saw her outside Asda hammered she was a complete mess. I rang hubby to tell MIL that she was back on the drink and her response was oh well we have been here before. She got rushed in a fortnight ago and now mil and gmil are up there every day. Now ive just been told she has pneumonia and its either today or tomorrow she is going to go. Its so sad shes only 52 her daughter just got engaged last xmas but it makes me angry that they didnt do anything for her now they are making such a fuss of going up there its so two faced. Instead of hiding it and enabling her when it first became a problem they should have made it public to the immediate family and set up support networks within to help rather than put all effort in hiding.

Kim Kardashian Divorces Kris

Well I dont know about you but I am so not shocked at this. I am a huge Kardashian fan I love the Jenners and watching the show is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Although as soon as Kris Humphries appeared on the scene I started to really dislike him and Kim. He was arrogant, childish, rude and abusive. They were both extremely judgemental, especially toward Kourtney and the fact that she wished she had breastfed longer and was co-sleeping. I was disgusted that 2 people were so closeminded that they were telling her to let him cry it out and use the ferber method, especially Kim as you should support family and they are always supposed to be seen as a close family. For Kris to then have a pop at her aswell when he is a stranger and non-parent was a plain cheek. After that episode aired I immediately stopped following her on facebook and twitter.

I did watch the wedding as I have this habit of watching weddings I think it stems from the days of wedding planning that I did. I liked her first dress didnt like the headgear and didnt like the two dresses that followed. 

I thought Khloe looked gorgeous (I love her and lamlam) and Mason was adorable walking down the aisle (im even warming to Scott these days).

During the planning it was worrying that they hadnt spoken about where they would live, where the dogs would stay or whether she should change her name. Now Im sure she could have kept her Kardashian name for business and used Humphries on all personal accounts. I cannot recall who has done this but the fact that even Khloe has put Kardashian as her middle name so she is now Khloe Odam says how much more genuine her wedding was to Kims. 

72 days after the wedding and Kim is filing for Divorce citing irreconcilible differences, when the entire thing was a money making scheme. Her official statement:

"After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best."

Life gets in the way sometimes

I havent been on here in well over a month and so my rants have been building and ive just been exploding. My monkey is fab although I think we are all suffering with a cold at the moment so thats fun and Ive actually started my christmas shopping for the kids at least mine and the nieces and nephews so Im on the ball at the moment. We are also house hunting although seem to be disagreeing on property more than anything I found 3 houses I like hubby doesnt so wont make appointments to view them says I have to but my point is - whats the point if hes not going to like them. We both have stubborn heads sometimes although Ive just found one that could be a good possibilty even he liked it. I cant wait though I want another monkey and need the room before I can start trying :( 

So fingers crossed.

As well as not being on here Ive been a bit distant with friends which is totally my fault but I cant help it Im working and when im not working Ive got monkey - hes been teething, sickness and diarrhoea, colds, etc then I have caught them. Its been a little circle which as a mum or dad you expect. I barely want to go out of the house when Im sick or monkey is so socialising is right down on the bottom of my list. When I do mean to stuff happens like day trips get planned or monkey has a class to go to then we have shopping and it slips my mind completely and I do feel awful but I walked into wilkinsons yesterday wanting string I walked out with a garlic press, baking trays, smelly for the bathroom and you've guessed it NO STRING - I forgot till I got home and needed the string I went to buy. 

Fun.

Said Crystal Harris was a famehungry

Well what a shock Crystal has come out and spoken about her bedroom habits with Hef and lets just say not very nicely. Now all women have at one point degraded their ex but isnt it generally when he has hurt you not when he has given you everything. My one ex used to think I was joking when I used to facebook that sucking him was like sucking the tip of a pencil he would go along with a few of the things I said and I honestly dont think he realised I meant everyone of them. I was within my rights to as he didnt get me anything for christmas and we had been together for almost a year and he was 7 years older than me. He accused me of sleeping with his boss a few days later then before new year said he didnt know whether he wanted to be with me so i said bye bye and met a make out friend a few days later.

Kendra says it best with:

She just totally made herself look like crap. She looks like trash. I mean, it’s disgusting. She needs to keep her mouth shut, and be a bigger person. Walk away. People don’t like that. People don’t like a hypocrite. She’s a hypocrite. It’s not classy. Hef’s been Hef for how many years now?! With all the drama he’s had for 86 years, what’s this one girl going to do? She just needs to keep her mouth shut. 

It does show though that Holly, Bridget & Kendra truly cared for him as they have never spilt bedroom details about Hef - thats the classy way to end the unconventional relationship.

Bloody Dog

Well lets just say Im slightly more hormonal than I normally would be but oh my goodness I want to string her up. My dog is 2 and a half and generally pretty good and goes outside since we have been putting her in a crate when we leave the house and overnight. This was because the monkey arrived and we couldnt have her peeing and pooing all over the living room, over the sofa and cushions. I have lost my temper many a time but then we discovered crating and it seemed to work. 

The dog in question is a Bichon and they absolutely hate the rain so we always knew to be on look out to make sure she went outside. This morning I literally got up off the chair went into the kitchen to get monkey something came back and she had peed all over his car mat right where I was sitting. 

Its such bs when people say they dont know that they werent supposed to do and they didnt know it was wrong. Trust me she knows that she is not supposed to do it and that she will get into major trouble peeing in the house. For one she waits until I go to the bathroom or out of the room before doing it and then looks extremely guilty and hides in the corner until I have seen what she has done. 

This is laziness pure and simple she would rather shit and piss on a nice warm mat than on the wet grass in the rain. Ive now had to throw my sons road mat in the bathroom as Ive washed and sprayed it and it still honks but shes done it before on there so it obvious the smell is still there so I think my hubby can take me to Ikea to get another one today as I have major PMS and have a monkey who thinks its fun to play in the water I am mopping the pee up with.

I rant alot but have no intention of actually killing her just like I feel like killing my mother in law it doesnt actually mean im going to but it feels good to get it out there
