Oh meh gawd
I don't really get the opportunity to listen to much Guns N Roses with the kids around. It seems a little not kid friendly. Though I've gotten more relaxed about what I feel is kid friendly lately. So I suppose it's all relative. But, I have always loved Guns N Roses. Particularly 'Appetite for Destruction'. So I like listening to it when I ( Read more... ) -
Look what you've done to this rock n roll clown
So there I am driving down the road in my mini van rocking out to Def Leppard's greatest hits on CD with my three kids in the back. They, of course, ask if this is "classic rock". And to them I suppose it is. So this song is on...
And I hear Syd wail "Awwwwwesome shootin' at meeeehhh ( Read more... ) -
In which I admit I suck
Allison told me today that it was unfair that when she accidentally spilled her drink her father made her clean it up "like I was some kind of maid". I said, "Well, Daddy isn't your maid. If he spilled his drink wouldn't he have to clean his up? So it's only fair you clean yours up, right?" She said, "Ok. But I clean up after my parents ALL ( Read more... ) -
Can't help but wonder
I catch a lot of slack from my mother about being overly cautious and "paranoid" and what not when it comes to my children. If something were ever to happen to them I'd just die. The time Allison was in the hospital was the worst thing I've ever faced in my entire life. Seeing her go through that was difficult -- and that's putting it mildly. I ( Read more... ) -
I admit it
I've complained about motherhood before, I know. This isn't new ground for me. But I am finally going to admit something for the thousandth time. Only this time it's official. My baby is a crabby baby. I'd love to say colic but I'm not sure that's a fair description of a teeny tiny dictator who is cuter than words in her righteous anger at her ( Read more... ) -
Excited
No, I'm not really. But that phrase is the basis for my new drinking game. I have a slight addiction to Girls Next Door. If it's on I watch it. It's my guilty pleasure only I'm not feeling too guilty about it. I have too many vices to feel guilty about that for goodness sake. So, anyway, I watch it now and have decided that my new drinking ( Read more... ) -
Snot
Yes, that's my title. Because all I can think about at this second is the fact that I tried to sneeze right before I started typing and it didn't work out and now, of course, I have runny eyes and a stuffy nose. It's like DUH. Of course ( Read more... ) -
No, but only because I don't have one
The other night I was talking with the Sugar Daddy (My husband...that's his nickname around here. I don't think he likes that it is.) and we were just goofing and doing that talk you do when you're bored and not talking about anything interesting just prattling on. We started talking about how he can't say "water" he has to instead constantly say ( Read more... ) -
I wonder
I wonder why now when I watch America's Funniest Home Videos I think, "This is not funny. That kid could have seriously hurt himself." and often wince at the sight of whatever "funny" video is shown at that moment. (yeah, I should wonder why I'm watching AFV....but that's not the point of this post) Is it that I'm old? Is it that I've kissed ( Read more... ) -
Really?
I realized recently that once you have more than two children a lot of people will feel the need to comment about that. "Wooh, you're brave" or "How do you do it?" which is all great and I accept that it's not for everyone. But my personal favorite has to be, "Do you know what's causing that?" So I developed an answer. Yesterday at my nephew's ( Read more... )
