Did you even know such a thing exits?! This is no ordinary toilet light but a color changing one at that. It rotates between 4 colors and is motion activated[. At first I thought it was a weird unnecessary item but that was before I learned about the logistics involved when guys pee in the dark.

Because this house is full of girls (and Kevin) I never thought much about what is involved when a guy has to pee in the dark.

When I go pee in the wee hours, I'm always half asleep so I sit down with my eyes closed and then shuffle back to bed. I now know that guys have to not only keep their eyes open, but also have to aim at the target. If you miss you get a mess and then there is the matter of trying to pee quietly, aiming for the edges of the bowl rather than the middle. Who knew there was an actual strategy to peeing in the dark?

The 1st night the toilet light arrived, the kids went nuts. They literally had to come watch me pee so they could see my pee change colors as it streamed into the bowl. I had 2 little girls hovering over me while I sat on the toilet, talk about no privacy! Scarlett is still waiting for a nighttime poo so she can see what the light does to poop! Sadly for her we are all morning poopers...

Ava's BFF Ella also love the toilet light!

I figured that was a safe non-permanent way to color hair so said "sure". You would be surprised how well it worked, Tommy had perfectly pink hair. Scarlett was adamant that she was next.

Scarlett joined Ava in the bathroom and I peeked in to see how it was going and it was crazy! It looked as though a paintball gun went off, pink everywhere! I honestly do not understand how it got on the walls! I told her to quickly clean it up before her dad saw it.

You see I am the one who lets the kids do things that seem like a good idea at the time and Kevin always errs on the side of caution. More often than not, he ends up being right. I did not want Kevin to come in and see the explosion of pink and say "you let the kids do what with food coloring?!"

Ava's friend Ella showed up for the party and I ushered her into the bathroom, handed her a bottle of 409 and told her to please help Ava clean up the mess. The 3 girls got to cleaning and a few minutes later I came in to see the progress and was speechless. Let me set the scene...

Scarlett is stark naked in the shower, dripping red, being sprayed down with 409. Thats right, 409 with duel action grease fighting power. I asked Ava if she truly thought that it is OK to spray your sister with chemicals that we lock up under the sink?! She said "The bottle says it is an all purpose cleaner" I was so mad I told the girls to get out and I took over.

As I am washing Scarlett with soap and water she tells me that they not only sprayed her body but her feet and under her armpits too! As if there was food coloring under her arm pits, really...

20 minutes later I had a squeeky clean Scarlett and a semi clean bathroom.

I learned 3 valuable lessons that day:

1. Food coloring is an effective but extremely messy way to color your hair

2. Smart kids can do really stupid things

3. I hate to admit it but Kevin is most often right (most, not always...)

You get that icky feeling in your stomach while your mind starts thinking of the awful smashed finger stories you've heard in your life. You run to see if your kids still have all their fingers and breath a sigh of relief to find 10 intact digits. Well, we not only have doors but also a big sliding glass door which have strict rules not to slam and it inevitably happens anyway. The slider is like the big daddy of all finger munchers, especially after the annual maintenance when it slides nice and smooth.

Whenever the girls slam their door, Kevin threatens to take the door off the hinges. Well, today he finally followed through with this threat. Scarlett slammed the door to keep Willa out of their room and it hit Willa in the face. So Kevin grabs his tools and takes the door off the hinges all the while both Scarlett and Willa are crying that they need their door. Ava just rolls her eyes and said "Who needs privacy anyway?"

The girls finally calmed down and we tacked up a shower curtain we had which ended up looking super cool! The girls are all excited about their new room decor and the lack of door somehow makes the room look bigger which is a plus as it is similar to an overcrowded dorm room. The best part is that I can rest assure that the girls will be able to keep all their fingers!

I have breastfed all 3 of my children. I nursed Ava until she was 2. I only nursed Scarlett until she was one, she was too busy to make time for the tit. Willa is still going strong and defiantly a major booby lover, just like her dad.

I love nursing for so many reasons:

1. It makes me sit my busy butt down and relax. For those of you who know me, this is virtually impossible. Or if I get an important work call, I pop it in the babes mouth and ahhh complete silence.

2. Its super cozy and special to look down in my babies eyes as they suckle away, I love these moments, not much can beat this.

3. Its a great way to calm a crying baby, instant pacifier!

4. A fail proof way to get my babies to fall asleep. (I know eventually this will bite me in the butt...)

5. Oh and its very healthy too, that's just a big bonus to all the other good stuff.

Willa will be 2 in April and my friends politely ask me how long I will nurse her, to which I often reply "Until she is 10" You see Willa is getting big and she speaks really well. She says Momma, I want neen. Pleaseeeeee When I say no, she bargains Just a little bit, pleaseeeee momma, its special and its so sweet At that point I almost always give in.

Sometimes its not so special. For example, in the middle of the night when she is not so polite and almost every hour repeatedly yells I want neen!!! When I don't give it to her she thrashes and kicks. I know I have created a mini titty loving monster.

I have truly evolved from a controlling, militant mother that regulated nursing to bedtime to throwing the rules out the door and popping it out whenever I hear the word neen. I know Willa is my last baby so I have let so many rules slide. I am amazed how much I have changed from baby #1 to baby #3.

So how long will I nurse? I'm not sure but I do dread the day when I decide my tatas are closed for business. I don't think Willa will be in favor of this shutdown. Until this day I plan to enjoy every second of it!

However, if I could go back in time I would do a lot differently.

1. I would have a lot more sex (protected of course). I was such a good girl in high school and college that I missed out on a lot of that raging hormone sex. Don't get me wrong, I had a boyfriend all through high school so did not miss out completely but I wish I would have been a bit more promiscuous when I was in college. I went to UCSC for goodness sake! If I could do it again I would experiment more with girls, threesomes, foursomes, toys, places, you name it, if I could get a do-over I would try it at all least once.

2. On a similar note, I would have had way more sex with my husband before having 3 kids. After baby number #1 it was pretty easy to find time. Even after baby #2 it was somewhat possible. Once baby #3 came along its next to impossible to find time and more so, a place where there are no kids. Having 3 kids in a small 2 bedroom only leaves the backyard so we really have to want it to venture into the great outdoors!

3. I would go to college, get a degree in science and then a nursing degree so I could get a job right out of college. Instead I got a useless degree in environmental studies and became a professional student almost getting my teaching credential, nursing pre-recs, computer classes, and Spanish. Now I'm 36 and on a 5 year long waiting list to get into nursing school (2.5 years in). You do the math, I will be at least 40 by the time I can even apply for a nursing job. Really? It took me all those years to figure this out, uggh! After all this schooling I finally have a cool job that does not require ANY of that (except Spanish)

4. I would save money. I used to have way more money and very little expenses and I would blow it by going out to the bar, to dinner, buying crap I did not need. I wish I would have just saved a little bit every month so now I would be able to buy a house instead of living month to month in a itty bitty house.

5. I would not drink copious amounts of tequila, ever. But that's a story for another blog.

6. I would have spent way more time in Costa Rica learning Spanish, or just studied Spanish more in college. Maybe do one of those language immersion programs, that would have been amazing!

7. I would have stranded that looser drunk boyfriend of mine in Grass Valley when he cheated on me on Christmas eve rather than taking him back to Santa Cruz, I promise one day I will tell this story too, its a good one!

8. I would have stuck with guitar.

I could go on and on... The saying "Youth is Wasted on the Young" is so true. Maybe I can impart some of my life experience on my girls so they make a few better choices than I did. But I'm not sure I want to encourage them to be promiscuous, so I will keep that one to myself.

I was raised as a Jewish girl who celebrated Christmas, we were not very religious. Sadly I have never been to church, ever.

This past Sunday I was driving the girls to the store and we passed a fancy family walking to church. I jokingly said "guys, do you want to go to church?" Ava said "no thanks, its boring" Scarlett said "What's church?" To which I replied "Church is a place where people go to talk about God and pray" Scarlett said she wanted to go and it sounded like fun. Ava said "Scarlett no, its not fun its boring." Not like she would know because she has never been.

Scarlett said "Will there be candy? Will Santa be there?" I was a bit confused by her question but told her that Santa will not be at church and they do not give out candy. Scarlett said "But Louisa (pronounced as Oooisa) took me one time and Santa was there and we got candy."

I was thoroughly confused and then realized Louisa did take Scarlett to the Christmas parade where Santa did make an appearance and gave out candy. Ava and I then explained to Scarlett that to pray is not the same as a parade. She said "Darn, I wanted to go to the parade..."Summer Dawnhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11014725637619857.post-44789155870420625222014-01-23T19:15:00.000-08:002014-01-23T19:15:54.486-08:00Girls and Their Gines...As a mother of 3 girls, there is a lot of talk about vaginas. Some days its hairy ones, stinky ones, bald badgers, leaky ones, owie ones, pokey ones, you name it, it has been discussed here at the Carney house.

I swear, every day there is something I have to deal with that involves vagina care. Weather its applying diaper cream or assessing flaming owie lips on my 5 year old from her limited wiping skills, its a daily topic in my home.

Willa loves to climb under the bathroom sink and abscond with my tampons. It doesn't help that Kevin bought me the super cool fancy ones that come with neon pink, blue, and green wrappers. She loves to take them apart. Yesterday, out of the blue, Scarlett said "Mommy, can I take your tampon out?" To which I replied "NO WAY, and I'm not even on my period!"

Willa loves to pull down my undies and poke it and say "Gina!" or "Spider!" depending on the current landscape. She too has seen the book that has a spider whose mandibles look just like a hairy yonie as mentioned in an old blog called Spider Has a Vagina Its true this spiders mouth can easily be confused for a hairy gine. Whenever I neglect my maintenance down there Willa reminds me that the forest needs a mowing by calling it a Spider, thanks Willa.

And now that I'm on the topic, Scarlett coined the term "Poop Octopus" I dare you to guess what this refers to... Ill just tell ya. You know those awful messy diapers where the poop is literally up the puss? Well one day I yelled "Help get me a bag, its crazy, poop up the puss!" Scarlett ran in the room with a bag yelling "POOP OCTYPUS!!" The term stuck...

My poor husband...Summer Dawnhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11014725637619857.post-17496227573150699242013-08-01T16:47:00.003-07:002013-08-01T16:47:20.675-07:00Hike gone BADI planned a wonderful outing for the day. Ava had a new friend over and I was determined to get out of the house and do something fun. I took my brood and dog to Delaveaga park which has hiking trails and a golf course. I was excited to do something different and was ready for a new adventure. Taking all my kids and dog anywhere is in adventure in itself.

Our journey started on the wrong foot as the main road was closed, so I figured we would enter through the other side of the park. We found a parking spot, got out the double stroller, snacks, water, kids, dog and went on our way. We had a map and even checked in with a woman at the help kiosk who showed us how to get to the nature trail.

We were on the trail for about 3 minutes when Ava screamed "Owe!!" She pulled up her shirt and grabbed what I thought was a spider and then realized it was a wasp. She threw the smashed wasp and began to scream way too loud. As I was trying to calm her down I heard Scarlett scream and start crying. I then realized what was happening as I looked up and saw all these little insects flying swarming us. Angelina yelled its a wasp nest and Ava began screaming even louder followed by Scarlett's cries to which I yelled "RUN!!"

Angelina started to run back the way we came and I yelled "not that way" and she did an about face and ran followed by Ava, Scarlett and Daisy. I attempted to run the jogger on the skinny root infested trail and poor Willa was getting bounced around like a rag doll. My girls were crying and after 40 yards began to walk when I yelled "Keep going their chasing us!" The Wasps were following us, I felt them banging into me. The girls kept running and I did my best to follow with the wide double jogger on the teeny hiking path. The path was so bumpy and full of roots I had to go backwards for some of it because I couldn't manage to push it over the rough path and there was a big drop to my right. Somehow Daisy got off her leash and took off at a full sprint.

Willa was fussing as the jogger was bouncing crazily down the trail and Scarlett was crying and wanted to get into the jogger but I could barely push it at my running pace so I began to walk. At this moment Willa lets out a big owie scream. I tell the girls to keep running and stop the jogger and pull Willa's jacket off. I see the broken wasp stuck in her neck and pull out the stinger and she cries uncontrollably. Sadly I cant stop to comfort her but take off running after the rest of the kids as she frantically cries and tries to pull herself out of her harness.

After a few minutes of running we start to walk with the goal of getting off this trail and finally find a slope we can clamber up that drops us off at the green on the golf course. We immediately meet a golfer who warns us to watch our for balls, the green is not safe and we should not be walking there. I tell our story and he backs off and points us in the direction of the road. We head off at a run through the green, happy to face a rogue golf ball over a wasp nest. About 4 irritated golfers later, we make it off the green to the road and finally return to the car.

Scarlett had 3 stings! Ava and Willa each had 1 and luckily Angelina and I lucked out, no stings. Not sure how this stuff happens but this was definitely a nature hike gone wrong. We high tailed it out of there and went and got ice cream.

The sun is shining, and Scarlett is sitting in my lap eating macaroni and cheese. Daisy is playing with a doggy toy. We are watching cute naked Willa playing in the water. It is one of those perfect moments.

4:11 pm: Willa is toddling toward the stairs and does the cutest pee. If you have never seen a naked baby pee, it's like a moment of discovery. Willa looks down and seems to say "Wow! look what I can do!" Scarlett and I laugh, there is nothing cuter than naked babies taking a pee break. Then it happens! She does a big long poo! I grab Daisy because she cant resist poo. I tell Scarlett to run and get some baby wipes. As Willa is running into the house with poopy on her butt, I plead from across the yard for her to stop. All the while this long poo is hanging out of her butt swinging around.

Willa turns and books it up the stairs and drops the dooky on the deck. I chase after her with the dog in my arms, and see another chunk falling on the carpet as she runs inside the house. I put the dog in the kitchen which has a gate to keep her away from the ewey poo and wisk up Willa as she tried to sit her poopy booty on the carpet.

4:12 pm: All the while, Scalrett comes flying over the other baby gate with baby wipes in hand and the macaroni & cheese flies everywhere. I grab the wipes and clean the kaka off Willa's butt and grab the poo off the floor. I take a breath and notice Kevin left the other baby gate in the kitchen wide open. This gate keeps the cat food safe. Shoot, I just locked Daisy in the Kitchen! Daisy is happily chomping away on Fancy Feast. I jump over, grab the dog, too late the cat food is gone which means I get to clean up more runny poo later.

4:13 pm: Kevin walks in the house as I have a naked baby on my hip, mac & cheese all over the floor, poopy baby wipes and a dog with cat food breath.

Amazing how much can happen in 2 minutes!

I viewed parenting as black and white. When there is an unacceptable behavior, provide a consequence and always follow through. Easy as pie!

Fast forward to life with 3 kids and I am officially Nanny 911 material. On a typical day in my home you will find Willa our 1 year old sitting on the table, coloring on herself, or eating erasers off pencils. She never has matching socks or unstained clothes, often avocado in her hair. Her favorite thing to do is grab the dog treats and share them with the dog, gross! You may think, put that shit up! She happens to be an excellent climber.

I am guilty of holding Willa whenever she wants, which is all the time. I have had people say "cant you put her down?" No I cant, she will cry, heavens forbid.

When the kids are playing in the baby pool I have been known to bring out a bottle of soap and call it bath time. This is ingenious, 3 kids clean at the same time! When they complain about the dirt and grass floating in the pool, I say "deal with it."

Scarlett has a few daily freak-out fits, yelling screaming things like "I know everything" or "I love daddy more than you" Back in the olden days I would have addressed each fit appropriately, warnings, followed by a consequence, but I'm just too tired and have too much to do. Positive parenting is for parents who are way cooler and more rested than I am. I cant believe how much I let her get away with, she walks all over me. I have been guilty of warning "If you do that, no TV for the rest of the day" 20 minutes later she has turned on the TV and is parked on the couch. I figure, at least she is quiet.

I often will be out and about with the kids and notice no one but me is wearing shoes and wonder, did anyone brush their teeth today? Then I notice the rats nest in Scarlett's hair and cant remember the last time I untangled those unruly curls.

Ava is the only one that actually does what she is supposed to you, we did all our awesome parenting on her and then ran out of juice as the years went by. Sometimes I look at my life and just have to laugh at the craziness of it all. I wonder how in the hell did my organized, tight ship turn into a crazy episode of Nanny 911?

She makes an art of having a fit and has truly perfected it.

You never know what will set her off or more like what wont set her off. There is no avoiding it, she is like Old Faithful, she cant help but erupt at regular intervals.

I have developed many coping mechanisms to deal with this. My old standby is just telling saying goodnight and heading to bed to let Kevin deal with it. Sometimes I hide in the backyard. Tonight I hid in the corner of the dark kitchen and it worked!

Oh Shit here she comes I gotta run and hide!Summer Dawnhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11014725637619857.post-24421641682807566052013-01-29T20:58:00.000-08:002013-01-29T20:58:29.692-08:004th child = Crazy MammaAt the end of the day I look at my family and love them. I kiss my sleeping children in their beds and feel so lucky. I think about a 4th child and it sounds like a great idea. I feel sad when I think I will never have another baby.

In the morning I am exhausted from nursing all night. I rush to get everyone to school, breakfast, pack lunches, break up fights, try to squeeze in my work and realize this is such a ridiculous notion.

 I'm sure once my husband reads this he will punch himself in the balls...

Last night she woke up angry and yelling. I tried to calm her down which just made her get louder. She was crying, kicking and thrashing in her bed.

I then realize the raccoons are in the house so I go shoo them out. They come in through the cat door and reek havoc in the kitchen. I return and Scarlett is still wailing away and I tell her to be quiet or they will come in her room. My scare tactic backfired causing her to cry even louder. She thought I was bluffing. What did I do? I went and took a picture of the raccoon, showed it to her and said "If you don't stop crying the raccoons will come and eat your face off." I know, totally below the belt.

She looked real sad and said "Mommy I want to tell you something, I heard a witch in the bathroom saying "HaHaHaHa" Then I felt really bad. I explained to her its not a witch but our annoying neighbor across the street who has a super loud, drunk ass laugh. He actually sounds allot like a witch. She thought that was funny and calmed down.

I told her I made it up and the raccoons only eat cat food and stuff in the kitchen, they wont come in her room. Boy did I feel like a meany!

We were eating strawberries and Scarlett found one that was shaped like a vagina. She saved her special "gina" berry and Ava ate it. Scalett began to cry hysterically that Ava ate her vagina! You would think someone ate all her candy by the way she carried on and on about her special vagina strawberry.

 I was able to find one that looked like a butt to replace the gina and she calmed down.

Scarlett then picked up a blackberry and proudly showed me how the top end looks like a butt hole. She then began searching the blackberries to show me all the little butt holes.

I pretended to be asleep hoping she would just crawl into bed and not wake us up. She never did and I fell back asleep.

When Kevin got up a bit later I asked him if Scarlett was awake. He found her sleeping soundly in her bed. I figured I dreamed it.

When Scarlett awoke she came and told me she found a dead rat in her bed and she cleaned it up. I asked her to show me where she put it. I honestly thought she was making up a story or had a weird dream. She took me to the hamper and showed me a yucky hairball wrapped in a washcloth. She said it was on her bed so she cleaned it up.

My little 3 year old, woke up, got a washcloth, cleaned up a gross cat puke and then went back to bed. I was shocked!

She is the most stubborn "do it myself" kind of girl, which at times drives me nuts. She is also so capable and never ceases to amaze me with her clever wit and determination.Summer Dawnhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11014725637619857.post-12746259134192178902012-04-20T17:18:00.001-07:002012-04-20T17:18:31.777-07:00Willa Dawn's Birth StoryI checked in at Sutter Maternity at 7:30am on April 2 to be induced. It was surreal to arrive at a scheduled time to have a baby as both my girls came when they were ready. I chose to induce one day after my due date because I was over being pregnant and I felt all my body needed was a little push.

Kevin went to drop Scarlett off at school and would wait at home with Ava until I called him to come to the hospital. These things can take all day so I figured no rush.

At 8:30am, my midwife came and said "Are you sure you want me to break your water?" To which I replied "Absolutely". She briefed me on the possible complications that can arise from inducing a labor, such as the need for pitocin if contractions dont start on their own. I was ready to get this adventure started and Leora broke my water and then gave me this awesome diaper to wear. I was dilated to 3cm which I had been for the last 2 weeks. I spent the next 10 minutes taking pictures of the coolest birthing center ever.

My best friend Louisa arrived and we hung out waiting for something to happen. My contractions became more frequent but not painful. Around 10:00am I texted Kevin and told him to come on down as things were getting going. My contractions were starting to feel uncomfortable and I sat on a yoga ball and breathed through them.

Kevin and Ava arrived at 10:10am followed shortly after by Serena, my other best friend. Both Louisa and Serena were at Scarlett's birth. At 10:30am Maggie, my nurse checked my cervix and I was dilated to 6 cm. This is when it started to really hurt and I could not get off the bed. She called my midwife to come on over and get this party started. Leora arrive shortly after and checked me again and I was 8 to 9cm.

Ava says I was making cute sounds through my contractions. I remember it hurting so bad. I had forgotten how much labor hurts. I started to feel like I had to poo and said "I think have to poo a little, or a lot" and then couldn't help but push. They all said no, thats not poo, thats your baby! You see I never had the urge to push before as my first 2 babies were posterior, faced up. Babies are MUCH harder to push out when they come out like that and I pushed for 2.5 hours with Ava and 1.5 hours with Scarlett.

I was on my back, legs held back by Louisa and the nurse and they told me to go for it and push, which I did. And go figure this little girl came out in 3 pushes, hallelujah she was face down! She came out screaming, with one eye open. They put her on my tummy where she continued to wail. Ava cut the cord like a professional cord cutter. The time was 11:12am, less than 3 hours after my water was broken, less than one hour of intense labor. I guess as far as labors go, 3rd times a charm!

She continued to cry, more like scream for an hour. It was an owie kind of cry, not the typical newborn cry. The nurse had a pediatrician come to make sure she was ok, and she couldn't find anything wrong with her. After a couple hours of intense crying she finally fell asleep. I was concerned something was hurting her but when she woke up later that day, she was not screaming anymore. I guess being born can be pretty traumatic...

We were thinking of naming her Juliette, but after seeing her and having her come into this world like a whirlwind we decided to name her Willa. Kevin picked her name which is fair because I got to name the first two. Willa is the female version of William, Kevin's fathers name who is one of the nicest people in the entire world, very deserving of a namesake. Second, a williwaw is a type of windstorm on the ocean and she arrived fast and furious like a wild wind.

This baby feels like it will never come out. I know I am being impatient and I should relish these days with only 2 kids, but I dont do patient.

I cant go from sitting to standing without a ton of effort. I cant breathe, have constant heartburn, and puffy swollen feet. Sleeping is a bitch. I lay in bed waiting for a reasonable hour to get up.

The baby is so low, and I am 3cm dilated so I can reach in and feel her head (she has no hair like baby Scarlett). I know it sounds weird but all you full term mammas should try it, its super cool! Tip - do it in the shower in a squat.

I dont have much else to say other than "Come out Baby!!!!!"

39+ Weeks Pregnant

I cant believe we are already at this point, ready to pop like a ripe juicy peach.

I learned at my last Dr appointment that I am 3cm dilated, 70% effaced, and -1 station. For those of you who have no idea what this means, it means when I do go into labor to get my ass to the hospital QUICK, this baby is gonna come fast.

I've gained 23 lbs so far and my tummy is growing by the day. I know it may seem impossible but my tatas keep getting bigger and bigger. I am frightened for when my milk comes in. This may forever wreck my awesome plastic surgeons beautiful work... Oh well gotta embrace the benefits of motherhood.

I am slowing down but still working out and doing boot camp, although it is way harder these days. I usually pee a bit when I do jumping jacks. The highlight of my day is when I get to poo, or I should say IF I get to poo. I'm guessing this baby is invading my colon and seriously affecting this daily ritual.

I was hoping she would be born yesterday on St Patricks day because Kevin said we could name her Ireland, which is my first choice, but not Kevin's. Yes, we still have not decided on a name but have a bunch we each like but the other one doesn't. (Willa, Cathryn, Violet, Cat, Juliette, Ruby) I am hoping when we see her one of these names will stick.

38 Weeks Pregnant

Ava - When she was little, she let me do it, now she does it, the end... 3 minutes

Scarlett - She picks her toothbrush, chooses 3 different kinds of toothpaste, then decides not to use it because she wants to use Ava's. Ava says no way, so she settles on her pink Hello Kitty. But first, she needs to put her barrettes in her hair. Then she has to poo, but I thought she only had on 5 pairs of underwear which I stripped off and set her on the potty. As she started to go, we both realized she was wearing a 6th pair which I quickly pulled off.

Finally ready to brush, but no she had to tell me this totally made-up story.

Story Goes - Kevin took her to Toys R Us and bought her a Little Mermaid dress with a real tail that goes in the water. When she got home she put it high up in the closet where the raccoons climbed up and took it in the wall. (Racoons really do live in our wall, this is the only true part of this story) The bad guys came and beat up the raccoons to get the Aerial costume. But the raccoons became good and escaped and gave her the costume back.

After her story she finally brushed her teeth. 20 minutes

Here is my reasoning. I am having another baby who will suck on my teets all night long while simultaneously being sandwiched from behind from by Scarlett.

(Just a side thought - back in the day I used to think being sandwiched and suckled sounded like a fricken party if you get my drift. You see how my mind thinks these days? Damn hormones are turning me into a dirtly old lady. Anyway, I will save that for another post...)

I figure I deserve more space for doing my duty of carrying these creatures, squeezing them out, and then letting them help themselves to my tatas. Kevin also deserves more space as he is on the receiving end of Scarletts wild mid-night kicks. She is brutal, its like she is training to me a mixed marital artist and Kevin is her punching bag. For having her eyes closed, she has great aim, mostly Kevin's temple. She is really good at getting perfectly horizontal between our pillows.

So the glorious bed arrives and it is huge! I recommend a king size bed to families everywhere. The funny thing about the bed is that Scarlett seems to think that it is for her to fill up with all of her toys. I put her to bed in her room and by the time Kevin and I make it to our bed she has snuck in and taken over... She is very sneaky, must get that from her dad. The next morning I asked her where we were supposed to sleep and she said I should sleep in her toddler bed and daddy doesn't need to sleep. Gotta love the perks of co-sleeping!

8 weeks and counting and I am officially ripe and ready to bring life into this world. It sounds beautiful and magical right? The thing is I dont feel ready. I am in denial that this thing has to eventually come out and live with us.

With baby #3 I am prepared to say goodbye to my sweet 16 yoni... Ok more like sweet 34, but I can pretend. I'm lucky because my husband says I shouldn't worry about that, thanks hunny. I have read that everything shrinks back to its original size but I also don't believe everything I read. That would be a fricken miracle!

Somehow I still drag my ass to the gym. Mostly so Scarlett gets out and I get a mommy break. I do love the daycare at my gym. Toadal Fitness your my best friend and I owe my sanity to you.

My body is so full of baby I dont see how it is at all possible for her to grow for 8 + more weeks, I suppose my internal organs aren't really that important. My ribs feel like they are in a vice most of the day, no biggie I almost get used to it.

 I can no longer see my lovely lady bits, which is probably a good thing. The last view I had resembled blue Twinkies, so I am happy to leave this to my imagination. I pretend I look like Jenna Jameson in that department. Did you know she bleaches her butt-hole to make it that pretty pink color?! I know what I want for my birthday... Luckily I have doubled my blood supply or something like that so orgasms are earth shattering, and I will miss them oh so much once this baby arrives.

My stomach and bladder have had to share their living space which means I pee all the time and cant eat grown up portions anymore. It feels like I am burning the lining off my esophagus from all the heart burn, but at least the end is in sight.

The problem with the end being is sight is just that, I am totally and completely not ready. My life is pretty chaotic and my day is filled with screaming Scarlett fits and sister fights. I hope that when I pop this puppy out, we will wing it and some how the pieces will fall into place.

I cant stand it when she she starts screaming "owie, owie, owie" over and over in public. It really drives me crazy how whenever I make a phone call she decides to cry or freak out.

Kevin manages to keep his cool and calm her in most situations. He doesn't seem to allow her to ruffle his feathers, even when she says "I dont like you Daddy" He just smiles and ignores her.

You want to know what pisses Kevin off? When Scarlett does something dangerous and ends up hurting herself.

Yesterday, Scarlett brought this cute little yellow chair by the stove where she is not allowed to be for obvious reasons. Both her and Ava have both been burned and we have strict rules about being by the stove. She was trying to push me away while carelessly balancing on this chair. Both Kevin and I were telling her "No way, not safe" and then boom, she completely ate it, falling to the hard kitchen floor.

I thought, cool maybe she will learn not to do that. Kevin proceeded to grab the yellow chair and smash it on the floor. It broke into many pieces and then he threw it into the living room. I really liked that chair because my dad gave it to us and I think it was an antique.

Scarlett, did a double take and then threw a shit fit about how daddy broke her chair. He calmly explained to her that she should listen to us when we tell her not to do something. She continued to follow him around the house, screaming until eventually she wanted him to give her a hug and pick her up. The two of them ended up sitting by the fire, having a father daughter moment while burning the remnants of the chair...

I plan to use this to my advantage by saying "Dont do that or Daddy will break it and then burn it"

They glow and resemble a beautiful goddess. Its not quite as magical for me. I find it oddly fascinating to be a witness to so many weird things happening to my body. Its like I have been abducted and have no choice but to go with it.

Jenny McCarthy pretty much summed it up when she described her lady parts as swelling blue Twinkies. I know TMI I'm sorry but she is on to something. WTF, I thought only my stomach and and maybe ankles were supposed to grow in size! Now I have a pair of hitchhiking Twinkies!

And whats up with the need to change my undies 10 times a day?! Pregnancy and fluids seem to go together like yin and yang. I understand that exercise is very important so I am regularly at the gym. But you see, I sweat like a pig! I am supposed to be a dainty flower, not a oozing mass of perspiration. I could really do without all the crotch sweat. I feel bad for when my fellow gym patrons accidently get an eyeful of my sweaty bits. And YES I always wipe off the machines.

Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! I know I am always talking about my giant tata's, but really I must. Pregnancy doesn't just make them bigger, it turns them into giant torpedoes with dark bulls-eyes. I understand this helps my bundle of joy not get lost when going in for a meal. But it is so not sexy. Did I mention I have sprouted a giant superhighway network of bright blue veins? Yeah, my body is readily preparing them udders for our future arrival.

You see I enjoy making babies, growing them is another story. I trip out when I think about all these crazy bodily changes. I am fascinated by how mammalian I am. I grow and nurse my young, I have udders for goodness sake! Moooooo!!!

1st child
*When Ava was born we had a ton of time to bond. I would take a bath with her every single day. We did this for 4 years. Thats a ton of bath time!

*No formula, all breast milk.

*We would take long walks overlooking the ocean.

* I would nurse her down for a nap daily and when that did not work I would driver to holy hell and back to get her to sleep.

*I would make her a variety of healthy and thoughtful meals. I made sure Ava had plenty to eat and made sure she ate enough dinner. I carried snacks and a sippy cup every time we went out, I had a mini grocery store in my diaper bag.

*I always stuck to our schedule.

* I rarely left her side because she was a major clingon. When I did leave she cried buckets.

* Ava did swimming, gymnastics, mommy and me classes, karate, dance, horse back riding, you name it she did it.

*No candy or sweets! I was super controlling about the food she ate.

*I would leave her dinner for her until she ate it all or save it to heat up for later.

*No coming in our bed, ever. Ava still always stays in her bed.

2nd child
*Scarlett does get a bath about every-other day, sometimes every 3 days, but with her sister. I occasionally join them, but its pretty crowded! When she was an infant I would smell her neck folds to see if a bath was truly necessary. No cheese, no bath.

*No time for leisurely walks, but occasional runs with me in the jogger.

* Gave in and gave her some formula, gave my tatas a break

* Naps? What naps?

*I try to keep something to eat in my purse, but usually it is an old bag of crushed goldfish. I never have a sippy, but she learned pretty young how to drink out of my water bottle. I dont worry if she ate enough, I figure she wont starve.

* If she does not eat her dinner, someone else does. Better eat your food here in the Carney house or else someone else will.

*Her schedule is dominated by Ava's school, karate, and dance schedule and my gym classes. She has not done any toddler classes. Thankfully she is in daycare part time and gets to do a dance class at my gym while I work out.

*She happily waves bye when I leave. Happy to be on her own with Daddy.

*Sure, treats and candy arent so bad. Do cookies count as a snack? Chocolate chip banana bread for breakfast? Sure, I figure it has bananas in it...

* Sure if its after midnight I let her int he bed, sometimes if I'm super tired she sneaks in sooner.

3rd child - ????

My goal is to keep it clean and fed, not sure how much more I can promise.

Say hello to family bed, no room for a crib, the girls room is too small. Good things kids are so adaptable...Summer Dawnhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11014725637619857.post-33358905006106832982011-10-16T19:47:00.000-07:002011-10-16T19:47:56.980-07:00Notes from the Womb - 16 weeksI made it to my second trimester, thank the gods! I feel so much better, no more noxious urges to puke my guts out. I am starting to be able to drink water when I am thirsty, rather than just pining for it. Drinking anything used to make me feel super sick.

My boobs are still growing, if that is even possible. They are crazy huge, and not in a sexy way. They have a freaky network of blue veins which make me look like a road map of an urban metropolis.

The best part about being pregnant has arrived. Earth shaking orgasms, and I meant that to be plural. I learned that my blood volume has increased by 30% which is what I have to thank for these life altering moments. It makes me sad knowing this is my last pregnancy and I only have 6 more months left of debilitating orgasms in my entire life. I try not to think about that and just enjoy it.

I have a few hours of zombie like exhaustion that hits mid day and is gone by tea time. I have not given up my English breakfast tea, these 2 cups a day are what keep me going.

I am still running! This is my biggest accomplishment, other than getting preggers to begin with. My morning exercise routine is what keeps me sane in my busy life. Its like if I get to work out, it does not matter what happens for the rest of the day, I already had my me time.

Stay tuned to week 20 when I find out the gender!!!

16 Weeks

The goalkeeper made his full international debut in a 2-0 friendly defeat to Chile last Friday.
Lennon told Celtic TV: "I'm very proud of him.
"And it's great for the club. In this day and age and all the negative things that get thrown at the Scottish game, to think we have an England international in the ranks.
"It's a very proud time for the club and player and it's testament to the dedication and commitment he has shown in the last three years and the improvement he has made in his game.
"I don't want it to be a short-term thing, I want him to be in and around for the next three, four or five years or however long it's going to be."
Forster is one of five Celtic players who are currently in the squads of countries going to next year's World Cup.
Nigeria defender Efe Ambrose, Honduras left-back Emilio Izaguirre, Greece forward Georgios Samaras and Australian midfielder Tom Rogic also look sure to be heading for Brazil next summer.
Lennon said: "It speaks volumes for the scouting network and the players we have brought in and all the hard work behind the scenes."

- I was told that fulfillment of the order would be 2-3 months. It took 4 months.
- I was not told that they would require 100% up-front payment for this order. I found out when I saw that my charge card was charged in full when my order was placed.
- The furniture they delivered arrived damaged: with stains on the leather and a totally cracked leg.
- The furniture received was supposed to be two good quality orange leather chairs. The craftsmanship was horrible. What cost $1,000 could be purchased here in the states for $250. In fact, the leather was white leather and was either stained or painted orange. The seams of the leather were not even fully painted or stained and still were white in places.
- When I contacted the company about my disappointment, I was told to call in a furniture repairperson and to have the furniture fixed. They would pick up the bill. I was also told that I could take off the black stains on the leather with nail polish remover.

'The Space Between Us' Trailer: Asa Butterfield Travels from Mars to Earth Just for a Girl
Posted on Wednesday, May 25th, 2016 by Ethan Anderton
Matt Damon was left behind on Mars due to an accident in last year's outstanding The Martian. This year, Asa Butterfield will be left on the red planet on purpose as the first child born on Mars in The Space Between Us.
Gardner Elliot (Butterfield) has only known Mars as his home, but NASA finally decides to bring him back to Earth. However, due to the threat our own gravity poses to his constitution after being born off-planet, he's left in isolation, away from the outside world he so desperate wants to experience. And part of that world is a girl (Tomorrowland's Britt Robertson) in Colorado he had been talking to from across the universe, and he'll do anything to finally meet her. It's a coming-of-age romance unlike anything we've seen before.

Nope, of course not! It wasn't really directed toward anyone in particular. I just didn't want to get flamed like I did when I said everyone who lives in the US should speak English.Pause for self examination: Do you really think I flame? I sure hope I don't come off that way. It is my intention to seriously debate and engage, but never to flame. I may make someone AbFab from time to time, but never flame.
Ok, so the Dems work that group, but do the Jerry Springer guests, winos, hilljacks, and rednecks of the world really go vote? it just seems like its hard enough to get the "educated" folk out there so I can't belive that they do. ((But really don't know))Honest answer: When the Dems make it worth their time they do. I have seen the get out the vote bus working the winos first hand.

Set of 9 videos featuring sound designer Ben Burtt talking about sound and his work on "Super 8".
I appreciate Ben Burtt's enthusiasm for sound design. Every time I hear him speak it reminds me why I began editing sound. I like the idea of sound "giving life" to a film and how it is a necessary element to the overall narrative. It is interesting how the influence of sound has elevated over the past 30 years as technology has become more advanced.

Yes. In nominal engine displacement 1.3L is correct. However, in effective
displacement (which takes frequency of power cycles in account) the nominal
displacement is multiplied by 2 which results in 2.6 liters. Why multiply
by two? Because the Wankel rotary has twice the number of power cycles
relative to its displacement compared to a reciprocating engine. Both
rotors go through a power cycle for every single e-shaft revolution,
compared to once every two crank revs in a recip. Exactly double.

Автор bojana dakskofler ( назад)
sry but i have to correct you. the engine is a 1.3, period. the rule to
multiply the displacement x2 is there just to give the otto engines a
fighting chance in bhp comparrison and similar comparisons. for example:
the honda s2000 produces 120bhp/l, and is one of the best N/A engines, but
the rx8 produces 177bhp/l the rotary only has 2 problems: 1:low torque, but
can be solved by a turbo 2:drinks a LOT of fuel

@mrflipydip12 yeah right, and if you squeeze it just a little more, it will
do 100 in 2 seconds and will beat a Veyron...It does 0-100 in 6,2 seconds
WITH trashing. Let's say factory figures are conservative, so 6 in reality.
And that's it. People around here are not as dumb as you might think,
trashing a car won't bring it two seconds below factory figures, otherwise
why would people give XX.XXX more money to get a car in the four-seconds

@mrflipydip12 Huh dude? He starts on ONE second and hits 100 at TEN
seconds. That makes NINE seconds. EVEN if you are kind and give him a
rolling start from 2 seconds, that's still 8 0-100kph - which (imho) for a
sports car is a tad on the sloooow side!!

@DK99824 wtf are you talking about? this rx8 has a 1.3L, thats right, 1.3 L
rotary engine that produces 230 HP. The 350z has a 3.5 L V6 and only
produces about 300 HP
Автор APO6 ( назад)
@DK99824 while the engine may be lighter than cars of it's class, that
advantage still doesn't make up for the lack of power and torque. if you
look at the RX8's supposed rival the 350Z, the 350 is heavier overall but
still walks the RX8 on straights because it has the torque. In the handling
aspect, because the RX8 is lighter, it is better than a 350. not bashing
the RX8. I'm just saying an 8 isn't meant for a straight line.

@JAMinguitardude1 maybe but you won't be doing much passing in an rx8, it's
a little on the weak side.
Автор JAMinguitardude1 ( назад)
@19danflo you are right about it not being a piston engine, however, you
are wrong about the displacement, since its a rotary, and not a piston, you
cant get an approx displacement conversion. people always say, noooo you
have to multiply by 2, or 3. fact is that its a 1.3, and people need to
find an excuse to come up with after they get passed by one. last time i
checked a 6 litre v8 doesnt equal a 3 litre rotary...

Автор 19danflo ( назад)
@Bibazavr actually not really, it's a 1.3 in a rotary, not a piston engine.
the general rule of thumb is to multiply the rotary's displacement to by
approx. 2 so the 1.3 is more like a 2.6 v6 in a piston engine, not all
that impressive, but the engine did win It won International Engine of the
Year and Best New Engine awards 2003 in the 2.5-3.0 category. more
impressive is the lotus elise or even the honda s2000. sorry for the

@HBXTQ1990 Oh yeah, the Z is VERY rough.. but that's ok, too. It has a

Thats one thing that makes the RX8 so fun and yes: furthermore it's quite
comfortable and the interior is way better and more beautiful than in the
350Z. Anyways: I really like both cars.
Автор KimJongIlLover ( назад)
@vortex3k you know what you are talking about. I have met a lot of people
saying the RX-8 is too slow and they would rather have a 350z. Of course
the 350z is a nice car too, but boy is it hard... the rx-8's suspension is
really really soft for a sports car because of its low centre of gravity. I
also drive an S2000 and that similar to the 350z has more punch but it sure
is uncomfortable to drive compared to the rx-8 :D And due to its suspension
and COG you can corner like a beast with it :)

@cal04450 That's because most people only judge sports cars in terms of
acceleration, 0-60, top speed and so on. But that's just one side.. the
most important part of a sports car is how it corner's, how it handles and
how it allows the driver to position it into a corner to achieve maximum
speed. Corners are what separates the boys from men and the powerful cars
from fast cars.

great job. I love my rotary... fast car, especially around the corners... i

rev higher before slipping off the clutch, feed the power on while
maintaining high revs (feather it). Very important for little engines or
engines lacking torque. You totally "bogged down" on that takeoff and could
have launched faster. A v-8 it aint, you really gotta peg that narrow power
band. That's the beauty of having a clutch- full utilization and control of
the power delivery. Are motorcyclists the only people who get this concept?

I used Netzero platinum services for many months and was pleased with the reasonably priced service they provided.
I cancelled Netzero service 3 months ago since going to cable service and was not billed for 2 months on Mastercard.
This month (Feb/ 02) the charge was resumed.I sent EMail after talking to toll free customer service who said they were not authorized to credit the Mastercard for $9.95 platinum service which had been cancelled.
Apparently they thought I may not notice the billing and they would continue to bill me indefinitely.
Called credit card company and they took care of it for me.
They apparently have seen this many times before.
Here is copy of EMail reply from netzero.
I am also sending a copy of this back to Netzero and contacting my attorney to determine if I am due further compensation for time and aggravation.

Mixels is a line of buildable figures based on an animated TV series and app created by LEGO and Cartoon Network. As the story goes, the Mixels are part of different tribes, each with a different color scheme, who inhabit a fantasyland of adventure and wonder. They combine with one another in order to face different situations. Some of the Mixels characters include Gobba, Slumbo, and Tentro, who are members from three different tribes.
These LEGO Mixels building sets include LEGO-like bricks in the shapes needed to build the Mixels. Gobba is part of the brown Fang Gang tribe, which is based on teeth, and always needs to be eating. The Gobba set has 57 pieces. Slumbo, one of the sleepiest and strongest Mixels, is part of the blue Frosticon tribe. The Slumbo set has 61 pieces. And finally, Tentro, from the orange Flexers tribe, is powerful but lacks confidence. The Tentro set has 69 pieces. Once built, each figure stands between three- and five-inches tall. There are other Mixels building sets available, and they can be combined with Mixels from their same tribe for mix-and-match play.
Fans of the Mixels app and series will like building and mixing the characters with these sets. These are also a fun way to introduce new kids to the brand given that many children like to build and play with creatures.
Mixels Slumbo is for ages 6 and up.
It took us about 10 minutes to build one Mixels character, and the instructions were very easy to follow.

Patricia Ann Hannah was 16-years-old when she was murdered in April 1987, after she left a Greek show at Sumter County High School.
Her body was found a week later. Officials say an autopsy revealed she had been raped and suffocated.
Shelton Holloway, 20 at the time, was found guilty of the crime and sentenced to life in prison.
Both Holloway's and Hannah's families say, prior to being discovered, many of the girl's organs had been removed.
Because of this and Holloway's low IQ, they say they believe he is innocent and the case should be reopened.
"It's impossible for a person with an IQ of 30 to be able to pursue anything of this nature," said William Speight, a native of York and a filmmaker who took an interest in the case.
"I know my brother," said Theresa Jenkins. "He couldn't do nothing like this. Like I say, he's got like a child's mind."
Speight, who now lives in Atlanta, has produced a movie about this case, set for an April 2010 release.
Speight said he filed a petition two weeks ago with Alabama Attorney general Troy King requesting that he reopen the investigation.

Team Vazquez: Juanma Wobbles With Every Hard Shot
By Chris Robinson
The boxing world is still buzzing over the heroics of Sonora, Mexico's Orlando Salido this past weekend.
Fighting in his opponent Juan Manuel Lopez's native Puerto Rico in the city of San Juan in a highly-anticipated rematch, Salido defended the WBO featherweight strap that he won from 'Juanma' last April with an even more-riveting 10th round TKO. And while the future looks as bright as ever for the 31-year old Salido, there are several question marks now lingering around Lopez.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, who promotes Lopez, came forward after the fight to applaud his fighter and mentioned an all-Puerto Rican clash with former champion Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. as a strong possibility.
Felix 'Tutico' Zabala Jr., who co-promotes Vazquez along with Arum, admitted that he wasn't shocked to see the gritty Salido again overcome Lopez.
"Not surprised," Zabala stated from Mexico, where he is at ahead of this weekend's Glenn Donaire-Omar Salado clash in Mexico City. "It was a good fight. I wasn't surprised but I thought [Lopez] was doing a little bit better. It was a hell of a fight and I think he did everything he could to win the fight."
As far as a Lopez-Vazquez Jr. clash is concerned, Zabala is all for it.
"Definitely, definitely," Tutico continued. "It's a good fight and for Puerto Rico it's big. I think we can sell out and it's all about business, nothing personal. I think it's a good fight for boxing, for Puerto Rico, and for us too."
Vazquez is coming off spirited effort last month during his split-decision loss to WBO junior featherweight champion Nonito Donaire in San Antonio, Texas. Despite being dropped in the ninth and absorbing his share of punishment, Vazquez fought with courage and made a strong account of himself over the second half of the fight.
"I think he fought a great fight," Zabala remarked. "Again, I thought he gave his best effort. For what he knows and for the short time he's been in the business, I think he [fought] a very good, intelligent fight and I'm very proud."
A fight with Lopez would require a move up in weight from Vazquez and he would be in treacherous waters against possibly the biggest puncher he would have faced to this point. But Zabala points out that it's the power of his man that shouldn't be overlooked.
"Same way, more or less, that he fights all his fights," Zabala answered when asked how his fighter should approach a possible bout with Lopez. "Fight a smart fight and Wilfredo can punch. We've seen that Juanma gets wobbled every time he gets hit. Wilfredo would have to box and look to put the punches together."
Starting from round 2 of the Salido-Lopez rematch, Antonio Tarver started showing concern for Lopez being hurt with every hard shot Salido threw. Now another professional boxer says the same thing. But the good ol' experts at boxing scene are…Comment by Ringlife on 03-15-2012

I agree, but Vazquez is not a good finisher, and come on, no matter how good Arce is, Vazquez should have stopped him the same round he dropped the mexican fighter. Vazquez got tired, but he could get stopped rather…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (22)

Williamsburg, New York
Mystery Garden
Inspired after attending a dinner on the rooftop garden at the Brooklyn Grange last year I began my first garden last year in my rooftop cabana. I dream of seeing gardens covering the rooftops of NYC. I love to go up early in the morning when it's particularly quiet to look at the East River and the bridges beyond, tend to the garden, and just observe and note the changes I (and my neighbors) have seen since I started planting last year. A drone (bee) came to visit for a while..my neighbor on with a garden on the ground level saw him too; butterflies, birds and birdsong more varied since I moved to Williamsburg 2 1/2 years ago. This year I decided to start from seed. I bought packets of beans, carrots, lettuce, onions, sunflowers, tomatoes and left them in a container with a lid. I kind of forgot about them and started with a flower garden. After one of the first thunderstorms of this season, I notice water in the container, along wit h the seed packets floating around inside, most of which had opened. I looked a bit closer and let's just say, germination had begun! The problem was figuring out what seed was what plant....The beans were easy, the sunflowers look like sunflower seeds...but lettuce, carrots, onions aren't so obvious..So I just planted them all, and called it my mystery garden. Eventually the leaves would reveal the plant...It's a few weeks in, and I've figured it out, and have begun offering some of my other rooftop neighbors the seedlings to start their first gardens. I can't wait for the first salad from Dolce Cabana...
