Pee-Pee on the Sidewalk

Ten years ago, there was no problem going to the mall and picking out a very nice maternity outfit for a special occasion. Yesterday, I decided to go and look for one. Things have certainly changed these days. Do they think that women don't get pregnant anymore? That we don't care what we look like? IF I found a maternity section in a store, it was mostly casual clothing. Where were the snazzy pant suits or dresses? I also noticed they were right next to the plus size section. Do they think we are just gaining weight instead of carrying a little person inside us? I ended up doing a lot of walking and finding nothing. Every store I went into, I would stop to ask a salesperson if they had a maternity section. Their eyes would immediately jump to my 14-week-old belly and say, "No," or "A little one." When I got home with my feet yelling at me with curse words thrown in, my husband had a story to tell me. He was sitting at the computer when a mosquito flew around his head. He thought, "Hmmm, I wonder if the door is open." He goes upstairs to investigate and found not only was the door open, but our curly-headed imp was running around in the front yard. He was totally naked and my husband noticed pee-pee on the sidewalk. You can imagine his daddy's reaction to his behavior. It is a known fact in our house that if we don't lock the doors, the two-year-old will be frollicking outside without a care in the world. This one is going to give us gray hair.

Hey! Hilarious story!

Did you check out Target? They have a nice selection. Is there a Motherhood Maternity around? I think there is one in the Springs.

The Top 20 Clean Romance Movies Of All Time

I'm really picky when it comes to romantic movies. I prefer them clean and it's really hard to find those kind of romance movies these days. Nowadays, romantic movies are chock full of butts, boobs, and beds. Just sayin'. I was bored one day and decided to google the top romance movies of all time. You have got to be kidding me. One list had Brokeback Mountain on it. Pulease. I was, in fact, so disgusted by all of the lists that I came across that I decided to make my own. I decided to call it The Top 16 Clean Romance Movies of All Time, well, because I couldn't think of anymore to make it an even top 20. Now, my list might be different from most people. I said I was picky. First, I don't like b***** women. That scratches out a whole pile of popular movies. One of them being Gone With The Wind. Does anyone besides me want to smack that woman? Second, I don't like it when the couple end up in bed together. Uh, I don't really need to know, thankyouverymuch. Th...

Pregnant vs. Just Plain Fat

Saturday, I had the opportunity to go to a Pampered Chef party at a friend's house. I was feeling particularly bubbly that day and it must have showed. As everyone tells me to say hi to my boys for them, the consultant asks, "How many boys do you have?" I said, "Four," and she asked, "And one on the way?" I gave her a blank stare. How in the world did she guess? I am only about a month along. As everyone congratulates me, I am still in shock. I hadn't planned on anyone knowing for at least two more months. As I'm driving home, I realize that it could have gone badly. What if I hadn't been pregnant? That led to more thinking and here's how it went: Those of you who don't even start showing until your fourth month- I hate you. Those of you who don't get the kind of morning sickness that lasts all day every day for four months- I hate you. Those of you who don't go through a nightmare of pain without medication during labor- I ...

"It's On My List"

In the Veggie Tales movie, Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, Larry the Cucumber's character is afraid of everything. He even has a list of things he will have nothing to do with because they scare him too much. If he came across something he was afraid of, Larry would say, "It's on my list." The boys watched this movie to death before we returned it. One night, I told Sleepy to go up to his room and change his shirt. We were going to the swimming pool for lessons and I wasn't about to let him go out in public with peanut butter all over himself. He complained that it was too dark upstairs. Now, you might wonder why he didn't just turn on the light. Well, Mommy Dearest has yet to replace the lighbulbs in the ceiling light, but that would require too much effort. I would have to go into the garage, find the ladder, find the lightbulbs, and trudge everything up the stairs and set to work. For something like that, I would need to do a breathing technique I ...
