Guilty Pleasures

I was reading some tweets the other day (I'm not the biggest Twitter fan, but I do look sometimes!) and he said something about his guilty pleasure tv show. That got me thinking, what are my guily pleasure tv shows? My husband will be the first to tell you I watch alot of 'stupid crap shows' that get cancelled after 2 or 3 episodes. But I do have a few tried and true ridiculous shows that gals my age would usually be embarrased to tell you they watch. I've decided to share my top 3, which was kind of hard to choose since I watch so many. In no particular order, my favorite guilty pleasure shows are:

1. The City
Yes, we all watched Laguna Beach and then the Hills, but how many continued on to see Whitney do absolutely nothing in NYC? I did for sure. Her new friends were snotty and sucked, her new man was sneaky, and she never even took credit for a job well done. Pretty mundane, yet I always tune in.


2. 16 and Pregnant
A recent find of mine on a boring Sunday afternoon, this show follows one couple each episode throughout pregancy to shortly after birth. The kids sometimes finish high school, sometimes break up, sometimes get a job, sometimes hate being parents, but always keep me tuned in.


3. Is She Really Going Out with Him?
Nice girl from a good family. Dopey, useless boy that catches her eye. This one is definitely hard to watch sometimes, knowing full well she should break up with the 'douche bag'(that's what they call the guys on the show!). Time and time again I hear the line that has been uttered on many 90s talk shows: 'but I LOVE him!'

See a pattern there by any chance? Yes, they are all trashy MTV shows! What can I say, I just can't help my self. Add a little Real World with a touch of Rob & Big and you have yourself the perfect Saturday night.

He's not the problem, their list is.

Last week we went to the boys' annual checkup at the pediatrician. You know the appointment, you wait for what feels like an eternity, just to get into the tiny room, be poked at for a minute, then released to pay? Ya. But when I checked out I was given a new kind of 'receipt'. On each was the child's stats from the current visit, along with any other pertinent health happenings from birth to now. And I was faced with this on the top of Alex's paper: PROBLEM LIST. That was the first thing I noticed. Those ding dongs that just want money, see my son as having problems. Nice. But after I got past that title, the list below it hit me. Hard.  Our Autism journey has been nothing short of a miracle as most of you know. I wish I had documented more of our last 7 years. But now is so different than then. Alex is mainstreamed. He doesn't shut up. He's funny as hell. Yes, he struggles with his words sometimes, his anger sometimes, definitely with schoolwo

My dad has a habit of buying a new car every year(used to be every six months!) and I think I got that habit. I've tried to stretch it to every 2-3 years at this point in life, but I'm thinking if I get back into a comfy place in life money-wise, I'll be right back to it. Here's a look back at some of my cars.... My first car was a 1979 VW Rabbit in poo brown. My dad and I sanded it down and took it for a $99 Maaco paint job. I chose turquoise. Horrid. We called it the blue dot special after that. I loved that car. My next baby was a 1987 Mercury Lynx. I liked this car, had much more room than the VW. I had an accident on the way to school one morning(rear ended my friend's mom!) and my punishment was to pay off the damage repair. I came home from work one day and the car was gone, dad sold it. Apparently when you go to college you don't need a car. :/ My 1993 Geo Tracker, by far my favorite to that point, and my friends will all tell you it was fun

Well, I never thought I'd be saying this, but my little Christmas baby has rubbed off on me over the last few years. I find myself wanting to put out my decorations, hit play on my Elvis CD, and watch Rudolph. But strangely, I am getting resistance on the home front. What gives?? I know it's early, I'm well aware of the Halloween candy still sitting on the table. But with the weather changing(only slightly lol), I'm in holiday mode.  Perhaps it's because I don't have much to do during the day. Perhaps it's because I love the nights of sitting with hot chocolate and staring at the lights. But I'm pretty sure it's because of the family that I am blessed to have, with now four amazing children that I can't wait to spend the holidays with! It could be worse. I could still be living in the days of Alex listening to Christmas music year round and wanting the tree up in July :)
