HOW DO I LIKE YE, LET ME COUNT THE WAYS…NOT!

Everyone can be completive in their own way, whether it is with other people, with themselves what have you…everyone has a little bit of it, in them. I think my edge comes when I have to deal with PR people (whom you can say are "like" me in some way), and I just don't like them; but then I think to myself do I sound like that? B/c then really I don't like me! ANYHOO, it's Wed. better known as Hump Day, and my 20 year HS reunion is fast approaching (like this weekend:). Looking forward to seeing some old friends, and dodging others! The weekend is near! XOXO BTC

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME...

I have this reoccurring dream that I just LOOOVE! It's a GIANT group of my best girl and guy friends at a bar, you know brown bar, irish pub like; where the locals frequent weekly to come and sing some karaoke! AND the best part is there is a contest that I ALWAYS win, LIP SYNCING! It's like my DREAM (literally) to have a karaoke party where everyone is WASTED, having the best time…on a boat that sails around Manhattan. When this book blows up, that's what I am gonna do! And you know what you are all invited. Lets not forget about our troops this Memorial Day weekend…enjoy time with your friends and family, but never forget those who fight for our freedom in this country. XOXO BTC

ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER

Why is it that if certain people can't get something from you, then they can't really be bothered with you anymore? I can't imagine only be friends with people who offered things that helped or "bettered" me. I hope that all of my relationships whether they be male or female offer MORE than just things; actually I know that they do. I feel fortunate in my life to have those types of relationships, the ones when I need ANYTHING at all they are there…and miss all the times we used to hang out more, before kids. It's hard fitting it all in, for sure in a day let alone a weekend, so the ones that I do have are very special and quite unique. On a totally different note, I see some people that I know (not in my industry), launching businesses that already exist in so many ways and I think to myself is that just to pass the time? Or do they really think that they are doing something different than someone else? AND is that bad that I am even thinking that and judging them in some way for doing it? OR really are people just satisfied having something to do, and not a career? CLEARLY that's fine, I guess for me I just can't really relate to those types of feelings. AGAIN, not that they are bad at all, I just don't know what it's like not working towards something you want to be really big and really successful. I would say it's in the genes. This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, the one I always say is like a cock-tease to summer. It's never really warm enough for like pool weather, but warm enough to BBQ and drink outside with friends. As per usual we will be spending it with the Leshin's and other members of the crew, and really I would not have it any other way. Happy Happy Hump Day! XOXO BTC

RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS ALWAY GET ME DOWN

JESUS H Karen Carpenter said it RIGHT! Still home with the sick little one and we are going on a week tomorrow night. It's not easy seeing your kid so sick, and so helpless you are just not sure how they are ever going to feel better! NOT to mention your entire life is on hold, while dealing with all their needs (clearly as a mom that's totally ok!). I am just exhausted, every part of my business has had to go on hold, not sure which piece to pick up first or which way to turn next? NOT to mention, the poor other kid who is basically neglected (and feels that way anyway), b/c all of your focus and energy is on the sick kid. I should NOT complain there are people who go through SO much more, have kids WAY sicker than mine…so really I need to shut my pie hole and get over myself. UGH Here's to Monday Monday! XOXO BTC

PRAYING TO THE PORCELAIN GODS

THE only thing that's worse than being sick yourself, is when your kids are sick! It is so hard to watch them suffering, not to mention it throws the entire week off enormously!!! Little boo has the stomach flu, vomiting, fever. I feel horrible for her and hope she gets better soon! Today is Thurday and I was sick Monday (with Aiden) so this week is just one big shit storm! Funny how my husband does not get sick and really he (I think) is the one who could use a swift kick in the ass now and again! I miss those days when the weekends were all I looked forward to, party with friends, no work, kicking more than a few back, etc. OH well…Is what it is ain't it! Love to all! XOXO BTC

THANK HEAVEN FOR LITTLE GIRLS...

Happy Mother's Day to everyone who is a mom and has a mom! I do feel for those who have lost their mom, there is just something about this day…and to those who can't for some reason become a mom, my love goes out to you too; Lastly for those who don't want to be a mom, you just don't know what you are missing:) Today I am SUPER sick and so is Aiden, so Brian took Lila to his family and I am with my mom and 1/2 my litter. It is kinda sucky to be honest, don't really feel complete without being a WHOLE unit, but hey it is what it is. Hoping everyone is with the ones they are supposed to be with! XOXO BTC

THE END IS NEAR...

Is it bad that I am kinda ready for the end of one company, to launch another? To end the commute to NYC that I barely do anyway? To be slightly thrilled to concentrate on one client and that one client is me? I mean I know literally that's not bad but there is also a part of me that feels guilty that I feel like this. On a totally non-related note, I got a chemical peel yesterday at her dermo, after I had the 2nd kid my skin went to total SHIT and I am determined to get my face back in order. Now it burns like a mother and apparently will begin to peel on or around Mother's Day. YES!! Hope everyone is having a nice Sat. I think it's time for a cock….tail. XOXO BTC

"ONE NEVER KNOWS…DO ONE!"

Ain't Misbehavin said it right, you just never know what some people are going to be like! You think you know but you have no idea. UGH! It's Friday, raining and we have a dinner with a couple that I don't know (business on my husband's part). PART of me wants to go b/c he it's a night out sans the kids, but the other part of me is so not interested and would rather put her sweats on and watch Law & Order on DVR. The weekends blend into the weeks now, and there seems to be on reprieve! It's lovely that it is Mothers Day on sunday, I do feel especially happy that I am a mom, you know the hardest thing you will ever love kinda deal. It's a day to spend with my girls and just get showered with love, I can't imagine not having children…BUT certainly not judging those that don't. Partly b/c if they don't have kids they don't even have a clue what they are missing! Spending Sat. night with one of my BF's from HS, so that's always a good time…that TOO will be when those rugrats are in bed! Wishing everyone a very happy weekend…obviously don't do anything I wouldn't do. XOXO BTC

JOIN THE CLUB SISTER

While perusing the websites for my clients, I came across this: http://www.people.com/article/kim-kardashian-racism-essay-kanye-west-north-west Clearly this is a subject I am passionate abut AND have experience and will continue to experience my entire life. It's hard coming from all different angles and all different prejudices, but it is clearly the world we live in THEN, NOW and I am praying NOT the future. Thursday always has a nice ring to it…having drinks with an editor after work and then home for the weekend. Looking forward to 3 days of non-stop kids, YES! XOXO BTC

ARIBA ARIBA!

IS THAT HOW IT GOES? OMG this is my FAV. day of the year and I NEVER celebrate it anymore! CINCO DE MAYO! The one day of the year I can use the excuse of loving tequila more than sex, and NO ONE judges me!! OLE! SO here's what I am gonna do. I am going to go get myself some skinny girl margaritas, sit at home doing homework with my older kid, bathing and feeding my younger one then put her to bed, hang with the older one put her to bed and drink IN My bed, my tequila. I will watch a show with Brian IF I have time and then pass out b/c what else can I do? NOT to mention tomorrow's "Terrible Tuesday" and I have a really annoying meeting to BOOT! What are you doing for Cinco De Mayo? Clearly a need a trip to Mexico sooner rather than later. OLE! XOXO BTC

MONDAY MONDAY...

It's been a long ass time since I did not want to wake up and go to work, deal with clients, life in general…but tonight is one of those nights, I don't wanna do it! I am thankful that the time is drawing near to soley focus on WHOS THE BABE! AHH, also means we have a shit ton more work to do, but it will all be for one thing…US!! Monday Monday! XOXO BTC

Happy Friday!
