Hubbs getting the Irish Car Bombs ready! Can you tell he was excited? ;)

Excuse how awful I look, I was cleaning & cooking ALL DAY, plus that’s a lot of different drinks I’m trying to get down! Of course, Uncle Kai is a pro! :D

Hubbs & Karan had one for EVERY touchdown and 2 for what hubbs called his halftime recharge! NO idea how he’s still standing right now!

Even though we were totally bummed that the Vikings weren’t playing, we still managed to have a pretty great Superbowl Sunday! I already can’t wait til next August! Oh, and Mr. Favre, if you can hear me,

DON’T LEAVE US!!!

National Wear Red Day

By moonstruckmommy on February 1, 2010

This Friday, February 5th, is National Wear Red Day–  to raise awareness about heart disease and heart health for women.  Right now 1 in 4 women die of heart disease, that’s a pretty scary statistic!  I know I should be taking better care of my heart, my grandfather has a pacemaker and my father’s arteries were already really clogged when he passed and he was only 36.  No time like the present to start doing as much for my heart as it does for me!  There are lots of ways to be involved this Friday, including-

Get a red dress twibbon

Buy a red dress pin

Wear red on Friday!

Follow The Heart Truth on Twitter

The Clever Girls Collective will be having a Twitter Party on Friday from 12-1pm PST to raise awareness and give out some great prizes (including 2 red dress pins)- RSVP here

Check out The Heart Truth to learn more about National Wear Red Day and Heart Disease

Make 2010 the year you stop smoking, get active, start eating right!

Squidoo & Stuff

By moonstruckmommy on January 31, 2010

Stuck in the house again today, although less because of Deepu’s shots and more because of car issues.  3 cars, but only 1 drivable- blah! I spent some of the day watching the Celtics lose to the Lakers. FAIL FAIL FAIL  Then, hubbs and the kids went to his parents, so I took the free time to work  on the blog and get my Squidoo on.

I’m actually kinda glad the update went berserk on me and I got to start my blog over.  I’m having fun learning new stuff and deciding what I want it to look like. I also found a super cool theme that is WAY too fun to mess around with. It’s called Hybrid, if you wanna know. ;)

I’ve been trying to think of ways to keep some of the old blog’s posts, besides just putting them here, and finally decided Squidoo would be a fun way to do that.  So, when I was done playing with my blog, I worked on a new Squidoo page called Songs for Dad.  Most of the songs were on the post, but I found some other one too, and all the songs are great! :)

Here’s all my Squidoo pages:

Songs for Dad

Moonstruck Mommy… an introduction

Everything You Need to Know About George Washington

Same Sex Marriage Should Be Legal

How To Participate in Day Without A Gay… even if you’re straight!

Do you Squidoo? If so, let’s connect… If not, when are you gonna start!? Click here to start sharing what you know & love!

The most disturbing conversation EVER!

By moonstruckmommy on January 31, 2010

I overheard hubbs and one of his bffs tonight and almost died-
Hubbs: I need that big pipe.
Friend: Stay off my bottom!
H: But I’m supposed to be on bottom.
Pause
H: ok fine, now I’m on top.
F: make up your mind! Oh oh let me have it.
H: Go down low and you can have it
F: You need to go get the turkey
Me: what the hell is going on down there?!?
Turns out they were playing Streets of Rage 2 on mute. So the seriously questionable conversation was perfectly acceptable. But I tell you, for a second there on the stairs I was a little worried… for myself and the turkey!

Preschool & Princess Lunchboxes

By moonstruckmommy on January 29, 2010

Didi starts preschool a week from Monday and she COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED! I kid you not, we’ve had this conversation at least 10 times.

“We bought a princess lunchbox, right mama?”

“Yes, honey”

“And you’re gonna make me sandwiches?”

“Of course”

“But we can’t have any junk food mama?”

“Nope, no cookies allowed at school but I’ll make you a yummy lunch!”

“And, it’s Dad’s school from when he was a little baby?”

“Well, when he was a kid, yea.”

“And I can play with the kids, and if I need you, mama, I’ll just find you.”

“Why don’t you tell your teacher first and see if she can help you, then you can call me if you still need me.”

“But what if I get hungry?”

“Then you can eat the food I pack”

“In the lunch box?”

“Yes.”

“The princess lunchbox that-”

“OK, why don’t you go play with your brother.”

“OK mama”

And I’m pretty sure if Monday doesn’t come soon this princess lunchbox is going to give me my first gray hair.

sheeeesh.

By moonstruckmommy on January 24, 2010

Welp, the Vikings lost. That was a seriously awful game! We lost it for ourselves with all those turnovers. :( Good luck to the Saints, cause they’re gonna need it against Peyton & the practically perfect Colts! And in case you were wondering, YES, there were tears and NO, they weren’t mine. Gotta love a, uh, sensitive man? lol

But, it’s not all bad news!! We have an appointment to go check out a preschool for Didi. She has been begging to go to school for the past six months and I finally gave in. The only problem is, NONE of the Elementary Schools down here offer Pre-K. I’m not sure if it has always been this way or if it’s because of the *super awesome* way California has been budgeting her money, but regardless, I was bummed. The few public places I found were just day care called preschool, so I gave in and let Angat call his elementary school… which is a Lutheran School. I’m not 100% thrilled about that, I’ll be honest, but I’m hoping the meeting will ease any of the silly worries I have. Angat thinks it will anyway, so wish me luck! :D

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

By moonstruckmommy on January 23, 2010

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

OK, I did not write this, but I seriously looove it! I had posted it on the other blog, but because that one is private now, I thought I’d move the post over here. If anyone can’t tell, it is suppossed to be sarcasm. I am all for gay marriage!! Also, if anyone knows who did write it in the first place, please let me know so I can give them credit!! :D

1.  Being gay is not natural.
And real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, air conditioning, tattoos, piercings and silicone breasts.

2.  Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay.
In the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3.  Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior.
People may even wish to marry their pets, because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. Blow-up dolls are next, then pencils.

4.  Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all.
That’s why women are still property, interracial marriages are forbidden, and divorce is still illegal.

5.  Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed.
And we can’t let the sanctity of Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage be destroyed.

6.  Straight marriages are valid because they produce children.
Therefore, gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry. It’s not like our population isn’t out of control and our orphanages aren’t full– the world REALLY needs more children.

7.  Obviously gay parents will raise gay children.
You know, because straight parents ONLY raise straight children.

8.  Gay marriage is not supported by religion.
And in a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country.
(Did I miss the lesson where Jesus says He hates gays?)

9.  Children cannot succeed without a male and female role model at home.
Which is exactly why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms.
Just like we haven‘t adapted to cars, longer life spans, or Bush.

Have a safe and happy weekend!! Go Vikings!! :D

Happy MLK Day!

By moonstruckmommy on January 18, 2010

Hubbs is spending his day off  *finally* setting up the train that Nanimaa and Papa Kiki got the kids for Christmas. So… I’m spending the day keeping the kids out of hubbs’ way while he does it! :D After a morning of dancing, finger painting, and watching old Alvin & the Chipmunks clips on youtube, they ate lunch and are currently BOTH taking their naps. (gotta love that!) I decided to spend my little spurt of free time getting my blog on, lucky you! :P

First a little update on Didi’s eye: The patching is going great! She hates taking the thing off, because it’s like a band aid, but she has no problem wearing it for six hours a day.  She still likes her glasses and I’m actually amazed at how well Deepu has been controlling himself from snatching them off her face. Only twice do far! :)

Now for the fun stuff!!

Some of my favorite Martin Luther King quotes:

“Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.”

“If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”

“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

 


Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech. Even if you’ve seen it, it’s most definitely worth watching again.

I hope everyone has a great MLK Day, I’m off to help hubbs with the train until the kids get up. <>

Playoffs

By moonstruckmommy on January 17, 2010

It’s finally here!!! The Viking’s 1st playoff game of the year… And it’s gonna be a good one! I am seriously hoping for a win, not just because I’m trying to watch my team in the BIG game, but because Hubbs actually cries if his team gets knocked out. I barely got an eye glisten at our wedding, both kids were lucky to get a single tear at their birth, but watch out if the Vikings lose a playoff game because then you’ll see the real thing. Last year we were in Vegas when the Viks lost to the Eagles and it ruined his entire trip! Sports are serious to this man!!

Before we met, I knew nothing (& I so mean nothing!!) about sports, now I know more then a lot of dudes. Which of course, hubbs loves. If you want some brownie points with your man, take an interest in something he loves. It works. I promise! And extra points from me of it’s sports because they’re awesome! I probably would have enjoyed cheerleading a lot more if I would have known half as much as I know now. :D

Well, I’ve got to get the kids showered and get my gear on before the game! GO VIKINGS!

UPDATE::: VIKINGS WON!! Hubbs is dancing around the house. Now it’s time to think about beating the Saints! :D :D :D
