This is going to be a total simpleton post...but for those of you who hate dishes and vacuuming as much as I do...then you will understand.Cory Writing....
My simple pleasure this week is about the things we learn from our spouses. I never thought when I got married I would learn as much as I do from my wife. I always knew we would learn together, but to learn from her (don't take this wrong, my wife is brilliant) never crossed my mind. Well my wife has taught me a lot. Thank you babe for taking the time to teach me, and help me grow into a great husband.
What is your simple pleasure today?

I SOOO badly want one of these...you know it will be perfect in my oh so luscious garden...sike. Well, at least not yet.
That's just scrapping the reason why I will never have this dear chair...other reasons...it's $1,299!!! That'll do it. I won't have my eggchair anytime soon!
But seriously...how cool is it?!?!
*sigh*
Oh well.

Because I have such a good moan, Cory let me guest blog for this post since this is normally his entry!April writing...
So Cory and I caught some of the Oscars last night...oh who am I am kidding...we watched the Red Carpet and like 10 minutes of the show before we watched a movie...but I was able to catch some shining stars and some NOT so shining stars...
Let's start with some of those that DIDN'T shine...
Sarah Jessica Parker - Uhm...boobies much?And two my TWO absolutely favorite leading ladies...Penelope Cruz and Kate Winslet...you two looked simply AMAZING!!! I mean...Penelope...that dress!! Ughhh...so beautiful. And Kate...you could make a moomoo look amazing...you are on top of the world...and I am so ecstatic!
There were many other duds...but I decided to share just a few of my thoughts...like I said...we quickly transitioned out of Red Carpet mode into movie mode! Hope you enjoyed my quick little recap.
Oh and the Monday Moan is coming later...whenever my dear Husby awakens from his pre-work slumber!
"Sometimes I wish I could go back to the days when I was six and my biggest problem was what kind of dress to put on Barbie or whether or not I had enough Legos to build a fort."

Today...my husby rocks because he loves my puppies. When we first got Pickle, I always knew he wasn't pleased. Especially when there were accidents and chewed cords, etc. And then Pickle started growing on him...before long he was wanting another dog. So a little over a year ago, we added Olive to the mix.Cory Writing....
My simple pleasure today is watching a baby just hang out. I have been feeling just yucky the last week or so. I can't seem to get rid of this sickness that I got Premiere weekend, but last night we went to Chick-Fil-A like we do every Wednesday. I sat next to Tessie and everyone was eating, but I wasn't because of my ickyness. So I just kind of watched Tessie hang out in her car seat. She sat there happy as a clam playing with her little hanging toys and playing with her tongue. She just looked so peaceful without a care in the world. Oh to be 5 months old again.April writing...
I recently dumped my old Shampoo + Conditioner...Pantene. As much as I loved it's clean fragrance and dual cleaning/conditioning power...I was seduced by a new fragrance.
The soft, flowery, clean fragrance that is Herbal Essences new Hydralicious Collection.
The smell is simply to die for and my hair...has the softness I have longed for! I know...you're asking yourself, "And this deserved a blog post?" Well, yes it did. That's how I roll. A good shampoo and conditioner set is a dream in any woman's book. Try to tell me otherwise ladies...I propose you are then missing out. :)April writing...

I am not sure if you watched or not...but last weekend was the Grammy's. When I posted this back in November I was confused by the new music out these days...from people like Lady GaGa and MIA.
Well MIA herself showed up at the Grammy's...to perform...on her DUE date!

Ladies...we know what these do to us...
The minute you see the delivery guy walk into the room, your heart immediately starts beating faster, you begin to look around the room hoping for everyone to see you receive roses from the one you love!April writing...
One word...Salsa. My husband rocks because last night I wanted Tacos for dinner (so did he!) and I knew we would need to run to the store for tortilla shells...however we also needed salsa. Not just any salsa either. I needed his Dad's salsa. You see, for those of you who don't know Cory's dad makes this killer homemade salsa. It is just simply wonderful and addicting! I refuse to have Tacos without it...it seems like a crime!April writing...
They have a website now. The Suleman Family...Nadya and her 14 kiddos. You can donate money and there is also an address to donate stuff to as well.
I just don't know how I feel about it all. I watched her interview on Dateline. I sat and listened to her explain why she did what she did. Why she feels that her actions weren't selfish or irresponsible.
I am feeling differently thought, her actions WERE selfish and they WERE irresponsible. I won't take the stance as most have, complaining about the fact that there are so many women out there right now that can't conceive and you have this lady spitting out kids left and right with no source of income or no father-figure in their lives. I won't take the stance and say that she just did this for media attention...as I believe there are far more things you could do for media attention, than bringing 14 kids into the world. I think her reasoning has a deeper more psychological meaning.
I have TWO points...and only TWO points.
#1 - What kind of bat-brained Doctor implanted her with 6 eggs at her age? The average is number of eggs implanted is only 2-3....4 at most at that is if you are OVER the age of 35 and have decreased chances of conceiving. I think after 6 kids, her chances weren't TOO low. Someone needs to call him on his actions. I know that there are laws in place, where if the patient wants all 6 implanted then that is what they can get....however I DO know that Doctors can say that they will not do the procedure and she would have to go else where. I mean for heaven's sake...she went to the SAME doctor for her 6 other children...he KNEW she wasn't married, he KNEW she had no source of income...what was he thinking?
#2 - She has some serious mental instability. She basically came right out and said it. She needs to have love and connection to people. She said she didn't like being an only child and she has always wanted a big family. That's all fine and good...IF you can provide for them! And NO...using food stamps and welfare and donations from saps all over the Internet doesn't count as providing for them. What if that falls through?
I dunno...my thoughts are just all over the place on this one. I don't like what she has done...but my heart goes out to the children. While it seems like she is a great mother and very dearly loves all of her them...she alone cannot provide for them adequately...and that's a shame.
What are your thoughts?
*Additional note - I am reading this morning 2/12 that Nadya (the mother) is getting death threats. Come one people...let's complain about her abusing the system and how can she care for 14 kids alone...and then we are going to kill her? That makes tons of sense. Oi, this world we live in.*
