Pimping out other blogs

Occasionally, I will post links for other blogs that I enjoy ready, or even just a specific blog post that I read and wanted to share with you. This is what i am calling "pimping" the blog or post. Whenever possible, I will ask the original author's  permission to share (exception being an abandoned blog). I will always let them know that I am sharing their post or a general link for their blog, in the comments section of their blog/ post.

If you want to pimp out my blog or a specific post, please let me know. 

If you want me to pimp out your blog or a specific post (presumably because it relates in some manner to one of my posts) please just ask me. I will most likely do so, though if the material is questionable, it will be marked as such on my blog. If I tell you "no" it will be because I have a very good reason and I will share that reason with you. Please do not respond to that rejection by putting links in 26 different comments in response to everything I post. That is both rude and immature and I will delete your comments. 

Why I labeled my blog as having adult content

This is just kind of a Public Service Announcement of sorts.

I labeled my blog as having adult content. You may have noticed that there isn't really much "adult content" in my posts and you may be wondering why i labeled it that way if i wasn't going to follow through. Here's the deal. I don't have any intention of having a rated R blog or swearing a blue streak through every post. I won't be posting oodles of graphic images. However, this is my blog. About my life. And I have no intention of holding back something that I want to post simply because I am worried about the maturity of the audience. I am a grown woman with a husband and 2 kids. and real life isn't always PG-13, it's not all sunshine and roses. I am not going to scrutinize every post for material that one person might find offensive. out of respect for you guys and my own personal desire to clean up my vocabulary, I will be somewhat mindful of what I am typing. 

• Example: If my house needs cleaning, I will post: 

"I have a lot of housework to do today."

not

"I have a $h!t ton of housework to do today."

• Example: If my ex husband is being an ass, i might just call him an ass. 

I won't flag every single post that isn't PG-13, but I may flag a post that  contains graphic material, more that a few swear words, or those with sensitive subject matter that may be upsetting to some. Sensitive subject matter includes but is not limited to abuse of any kind, intimacy beyond kissing, childbirth, loss of a loved one (including miscarriage), rants about personal convictions, etc. if i am writing about a book/movie/website/blog/etc that contains sensitive subject matter or graphic material or excessive swearing, i will try to flag it as such.

I am a human being and I do make mistakes and if you happen to come across a post that you think should have been flagged and it wasn't.... First off, remember I am human and I may have forgotten, or I may not have thought it needed to be flagged... Second, understand that I may have left it unflagged for a reason. 

At the end of the day, this is my blog. This is my space, and I am inviting you all in to have a look at my life and my family/ friends. Please, be respectful. If you like what i write, feel free to comment. If you don't like what I write, feel free to comment. But all comments must be respectful. After all, we are all (presumably) mature adults, right? 

Introduction

About Me

• Alright so this is where I am supposed to dazzle ya’ll with oodles of interesting facts about me and my life/family.
• I can't guarantee that I will be dazzling anyone, but I'll give you the lowdown on Casa Awesome.
• First off, let me intro you to the crew
• I am Tw33tyb1rd Mama/ wifey/ whatever moniker suits the occasion. I am your hostess/narrator, and the wife/mom to this awesome crew. I'm a full-time housewife and mom to our kids. I hope to eventually go back to college, but I still don't know what I would want to major in. I am 29 years old.
• My hubby is the Beast. He is hubby and Stepdad Daddy extraordinaire. He is 33 years old. He is a US NAVY veteran (9 years of service. Gotta love a man in uniform, right?) He is a licensed aircraft mechanic (very awesome job!) and is going to school online full-time to get a degree in graphics and webdesign. Did I mention that the man is sexy as hell??? 
• Oldest Spawn (5 year old, female) is Pookie. She is a sweet, smart, sassy lil girl ready to take on the world. She truly is an awesome little kid. She is in kindergarten.
• Second oldest spawn (4 year old, female) is Pixie. She is a quiet, sweet, sensitive little one, and i sometimes worry that her gentle spirit will get crushed in this big wide world. She is in preschool.
• We live in a trailer in Podunk, USA. While there are endless jokes and insults about trailers and those who inhabit them i ask that ya'll refrain from that, capisce? This is my home, it is well taken care of, and I love it. So, if you can't say anything nice,don't say anything at all.
• We have a "ZOO" (notice the quotations, this means its not a literal zoo...sad that I actually had to explain that). Now, that being said, I realize that many other families have many more animals and / or a much larger variety of animals. the term "zoo" is used playfully. We have:
• A chocolate lab ( the only kind of chocolate that i am not allergic to)
• 3 cats (the crazy cat lady starter kit is a great gift for any occasion) 
• a dwarf hamster (live cable tv for the felines)
• a rabbit (our newest addition)

     All of them are indoor animals. The hamster and rabbit are          caged,  the others pretty much have run of the joint.

• I have an older sister referred to as Boss. She and I are super close, and as such, she will not escape mention here. Her crew is as follows:
• her hubby is Trucker
• oldest spawn (female, 8 years old) is Roo
• the twins (both female, 6 years old) are Rae and Jazz, or sometimes, just the twins.
• This is my second marriage. it's the Beast's second marriage, too. We are proof that sometimes 2 wrongs do, in fact, make a right.
• There are other people who I will mention I am sure throughout this blog. I will use titles, and first names only to protect the innocent, and sometimes the guilty. Though in cases where even that wont protect them, I will scrounge up a suitable identity for them. 
• If you think ya might stick around, or if you have any friendly, helpful suggestions to improve my bloggability, feel free to introduce yourself and leave a comment.
