The one where I let MPS guest post.

by Kelley

in so sweet I could vomit,things that are awesome

I don’t know if it is the fact that MPS was so dang impressed by my love letter ‘How to care for your husband‘ or because he is going in for {very} minor surgery today but MPS has gone all mushy to enter the Vitamin Me competition sponsored by Tourism Queensland and Nuffnang.

{as an aside… Tourism Queensland you had me at Versace}

Dig if you will…

Did you know (you most probably do, but just play along for now): you get Vitamin D from sunshine !?!

Meaning: that fireball in the sky (powered by the nuclear fusion of 620 million tons of hydrogen per second, capable of burning and blistering your skin and/or giving you cancer) is awesome. It can give health and power, and – if you don’t respect it – it can take it away. It gives life by letting you bask in its glory …

I’m sure you know where I’m going with this, so I better get there before you do.

There’s awesome in my life that I live for and under the benevolence of. I’m so much in love that words from this centre of my universe can lift me up, or throw me to the floor (centurion, roughly).

But there’s been so much effluent hitting the air conditioner for so long that I’m worried. If there’s no reprise soon, this star of awesome may implode.

So there’s this competition: “All (I) have to do is post on your blog, explaining how (I) would boost (my) ‘Vitamin Me’ levels with a $5,000 dream holiday to Queensland.”

“(W)ondering what exactly Vitamin Me is? Well, it is arguably one of the most important Vitamins of all! It can be found in many forms, but is best attained by experiencing exciting adventures, soaking up some arts and culture, consuming delicious food and wine, or enjoying some beautiful scenery and wildlife. Not surprisingly, the richest sources are found in Queensland”

My apologies, but bugger ‘Vitamin Me’ for me.

My love – due to exploding ovaries, slipping discs, Boo’s starting 2 high schools simultaneously, torn Achilles tendons, multiple mini strokes, floods, fires, exploding white goods, our personal financial crisis, and that horrible ‘The Big Bad Thing’ that cannot be mentioned – has yet another negative diagnosis to add to the list:

A severe ‘Vitamin Me’ deficiency,

Due to autism and really shitty luck, we haven’t had a holiday in 15 years. Anywhere. Srsly. When we do take time off, it’s either to look after the kids at home, a night of respite to get some desperately lacking sleep, or to look after each other as bits of us pass out like trainees at a military academy.

Queensland has the cure for what ails my wife. It’s a medical fact. Sun, sand & seritonin. Veni, vidi, vici sans vallium.

She needs this more than I do (although, I’ll go along for the ride if I have to).

Tourism Queensland and Nuffnang Australia: Kelley needs her Vitamin ‘She’.

After all, “Happy wife, happy life”. And we desperately need some happy.

This week has been insane. A new kind of normal is settling in. Two first days of high school for Boo. Having to defend myself and set the story straight to people about what happened last year at school.  I couldn’t say anything then but now the motherfucking gloves are OFF. Running into people who [...]

Today is the 22nd anniversary of when MPS and I hooked up.  So to celebrate I have a post that I found in my drafts. Happy Anniversary MPS, you better have something special planned for tonight… Cause this is totally a how to blog, I thought I would give you all some tips and tricks [...]

Tomorrow my boy starts high school. My last child. My baby. My forever toddler. He has his uniform – the last one in his size cause he is a MOUNTAIN OF AWESOME – and his SIZE MOTHERFUCKING TWELVE mens shoes and his Scooby Doo lunch box. {OMG he is 13… if he gets any bigger [...]

Boo starts high school Monday. That, along with a clusterfuck of other shite,  has sent my mind into hibernation. My limbs refuse to move and when I can move them it is like I am wading through molten chocolate. Mmmmmm chocolate… Next week I have to be on my A game or whatever it is [...]

Well not TECHNICALLY, but right now I am clearing out my entire kitchen into the spare room in an effort to get me to cook more. Oh get up off the floor and stop fucking laughing MPS. One of my biggest frustrations – besides the fact that I cannot stuff myself with carbs and not [...]

Boo found a game online – Counterstrike – that has ‘skins’ to turn the shooters into Teletubbies. My boys most favourite thing in the world. {I even have a whole fucking blog category devoted to his devotion} So now he is all into the first person shooter games and wanders around wrapped in a shit covered [...]

I don’t know what happened but it got corrupted or something technical that I don’t have the brain power for cause I just WALKED to a FARMERS MARKET and I am pretty sure you cannot get any more country than that. So that means cousin Sharlene has the brain this weekend cause she is studying [...]
