Ah ha Moment

Today I had an....

AH HA MOMENT.

I decided to stop feeling guilty for buying these..
               

Why should I feel guilty?

Don't I deserve some nice jewelry once in a while?

Were they overpriced?
 Of course.

Do I absolutely love them?
 Of course.

Wasn't my friend the best who actually bought them for me since I wasn't there?
Of course.

Why then do I feel so guilty??

I am over the guilt and decided to wear them today.
As I was grabbing them I noticed my tennis bracelet that G had bought me years and years ago.

I decided today was the day that I was going to try it on again.
The last time I put it on, it cut the circulation off to my wrist.


Today I put it on my right wrist (the obvious bigger one).
Not only did I put it on... I FASTENED it too!!

You know what else???

It even moves around on my wrist..... just a tiny bit but there is definetly some movement there!!

So today I am wearing my tennis bracelet that cost way more than those beautiful earrings and they mean more to me as well.

What earrings do I have on???

$3 ones from Puerto Rico.

                        

PS... The blue box earrings DO NOT exist if you happen to know my spouse!!

Now Helping Freak #7

Have you ever thought of yourself as a science experiment?

I do!

First it was the fertility I had to do.
The questions (and my witty answers) were...
  • What's wrong with you?
    • Nothing really I just need some assistance.
  • Are you sure you want to be a mom? Have you seen my kids in public?
    • Yes and have you ever heard of a Pampered Chef wooden spoon?
  • Did you have to do that fertilization invitro thingy?
    • No we didn't have to do IVF.. we did the turkey baster method.
  • Were you afraid you would have 8?
    • I was more afraid of not having any.
  • How come you only got 1?
    • Luck of the draw.
  • Seriously what's wrong with you, I lay down and get pregnant.
    • Perhaps you should start sitting up to sleep.  
Then we were pregnant with triplets...
  • Are they identical?
    • No 1 is a girl.
  • The girl and one boy look alike, are you sure they are not identical?
    • Yes only one of them has a penis.
  • Did you want triplets?
    • I just wanted a family.
  • How did you carry triplets?
    • In my uterus like all babies.
  • Were you afraid?
    • Of course I was. The triplets started out as quads but we lost one at 14 weeks.
  • Is your husband some kind of "super stud" to get you triplets?
    • He likes to think so.
  • I had my first two 15 months apart so that is like having twins. Are triplets harder than twins?
    • I have never had twins and having 2 kids 15 months apart is definetly NOT the same.
  • I imagine you are done having children now, 4 is enough.
    • Thank you for making that decision for me.
Then I became pregnant ON MY OWN WITH NO FERTILITY and 4 kids at home....
  • Wow! Are you ever going to stop having kids?
    • Not really sure.
  • You should have stopped at 2. You will never be able to give your children the attention they need.
    • That would have been hard to do since the middle ones are triplets.
  • You have too many kids.
    • Sorry you feel that way.
  • Glad it's you and not me.
    • Me too!
  • Which of your children do you like the best?
    • The one that is not complaining.
  • How do you do it?
    • Drink a lot of wine.
  • Are you some kind of saint?
    • ROFLMAO
FAST FORWARD 5 YEARS

Weight loss surgery......
  • WOW! Are you on some kind of diet?
    • Kinda.....
  • I bet you aren't going to be embarressed to take the kids to the pool this year!
    • I didn't realize I was embarressed before.
  • Do you have a lot of skin hanging down?
    • Yes, would you like to see it.
  • My friend's cousin who is married to my Uncle's daughter had a friend that had that done and I can't recognize her at all anymore. Does that happen to you yet?
    • No not really. Pretty much everyone I talk to already sees me on a regular basis.
  • Are you hungry all the time?
    • No
  • Are you sick all the time because I know my friends sisters brothers cousins aunt is sick all the time.
    • No
  • How much weight have you lost? You look completely different in your face... you look really good.
    • About 125 pounds. Wow, I guess I didn't realize I was so hideous before....
I could literally go on with this list all day!

The point is, yes I do feel like a science experiment.

HOWEVER.......
I do love it when people compliment me because it honestly makes me feel validated somehow.
