Again **STICKY POST! Scroll down for new stuff!**

So, if you go make a donation and this charity is one of the 6 charities involved that receives the most donations between now and the end of March, Kevin Bacn's organization, SixDegrees, will match it every donation. Think about how much good that can do. MajorDad already has $800 raised, think about how much just that $800 will do, and how much more we can do by just donating $10 or $20 (or more) to this wonderful cause. Let's put a little perspective on life here... I spent $30 on a carton of cigarettes for the week. So, for something that can kill me, I'll pony up the money, what kind of jerk would I be if I didn't give some money for a GOOD cause? Before you buy that latte at Starbucks, or order in for lunch at work, consider skipping the indulgence, and making a difference in someone's life. The badge below is MajorDad's, so I'd like to see the donations rising!!

Hey there

I'm still alive, just been busy getting divorced, finding a new place to live, etc. It's been a long few weeks. The kids' are with their aunts in Nebraska, I don't know how their dad's sisters ended up in Nebraska (we're all from the East Coast), but I'm REALLY glad to have some of their family nearby. I was considering moving back to FL, but decided to stay here for a while longer, and am about to sign a lease on a house in the town where I work.
Ok, so one of the cool things about having this blog for the last 2.5 years is that I get cool stuff from time to time, to try out and review. So, I got a great package from Keri lotion, I'm really picky about my lotion, so I was hesitant when giving the new shea butter lotion a try. I must say it's awesome! I've been using it for about 2 weeks, and I'm a big fan. I used to use the 4 butter lotion from Bath and Body Works, and I have to say that the Keri is just as fab, and a third of the price.
The other was one of my favorite foods, cereal. Nature's Valley is about to release a cereal version of their yummy granola bars. I hate to admit it, but I ate the whole box in less than a week. By. Myself. Now I'm craving it, and it's not in stores yet, at least that I can find. Seriously, I'm going to buy out the store as soon as they are stocking it.

Ding, dong...

The bastard is dead... at least to me. My divorce was finalized Thursday morning. It's funny, the divorce took less time than the courthouse wedding. So, after I testify against him in his court martial, that man will forever be out of my life, and my childrens'. So, as you can imagine, I'm celebrating tonight...

So...

I'm in the middle of apartment/house hunting, and trying to get caught up on the rest of the things I've been putting off lately. Of course, the kids make life interesting. I dyed my best friend's hair, and the kids slept at her house since it was already bedtime when I started the dye job. The next morning, Mads woke up and said "Miss Tasha, is my mommy coming over?" Tash told her yeah, but not until after work. Her reply? "Well she needs to fix you're hair, it's yellow!!" Um, thanks Mads, what a compliment!
My poor boy has been sick, started complaining of a sore neck yesterday. He has a fever, too, so my first (over-reacting) thought was meningitis. Of course, I'm terrified to take him into the hospital, because they will need to do a spinal tap to check for it. I don't really think that's what it is, but what if?
Other than that, it's life as usual. This weekend is going to suck, because of the time change. I love knowing spring is around the corner, and warm weather is on the way, but the whole "spring forward" thing kills me.
One thing to look forward to is the KS NASCAR race (September), I'm planning on going again this year, with a co-worker. I was just beginning to think I wouldn't find anyone to go with, but he's never been to a race and wants to, so it's going to be my bday present to myself. YAY! Now I just need to stay healthy long enough to not eat all my sick and vaca time up.
I'll be posting soon with a couple reviews, since the cool free stuff fairies have bestowed a few nifty things upon me. A kick ass cereal, and some Keri lotion (I haven't tried that one yet, just got it today), I'm a happy girl.

Hectic

Things are hectic right now to say the least. I'm going to be moving in a few weeks, so hunting for the right place is fun. *eyeroll* I'm actually going to have a roommate, which should be interesting. It works out well for both of us, but it's been a long time since I've lived with anyone I wasn't dating or related to.
Otherwise, it's been mostly work, trying to get healthy again (talk about a shitty month!), and other boring stuff that has left me with NOTHING to write about. I'll think of something soon, hopefully!

Do It Anyway~ Martina McBride

You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm could come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You could chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like i think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This worlds gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all you heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk anyway
love em anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like i think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway

I sing
I dream
I love anyway


Something about this song struck me, and it's been stuck in my head all evening. I guess it's a good reminder to keep pushing through all the hard times in life, though.
