Quite the Character

It was Sleepy's turn to go out to breakfast with Doc last Saturday. When they got home, Doc asked with exasperation, "Why is it our children always have to fart in public?" He said that when they were waiting for the hostess to seat them, he got a whiff and had to move away.

"Ha," I said. With my voice riddled with sarcasm, I said, "That's nothing. This morning, I was giving the boys a bath. I turned on the water and as they jumped into the tub, Sleepy announced, 'I have to go poop!' So, he gets on the toilet and proceeds to stink up the bathroom. I yelled, 'Sleepy!' but since there was really nothing I could do about it, I had to endure the stench while lathering up Happy's hair.

Two seconds later, Sleepy jumps off and says, 'All done!' I looked into the toilet and there was nothing there. The kid had stunk up the bathroom by farting."

A couple days later, the boy was on his knees coloring a picture when he put too much pressure on the crayon and it broke. He showed me the broken crayon and I said, "Wow! You sure are strong!" He said matter-of-factly, "Yeah." Then he looks at me with exasperation. "It's because you made me eat my green beans!" he said.

Happy came upstairs to my bedroom one time and announced that Sleepy had kicked him out of the tent. Sleepy had followed him up the stairs, so I told him to say he was sorry to Happy. He rubs Happy's arm and says he's sorry. Then Happy told on him again and I told Sleepy to apologize. He exclaimed, "Again?!" in amazement. I said, "Of course, again!"

The child is turning out to be quite the character.

Dignified Woman

They instructed me to make sure I have a full bladder on arriving for my ultrasound. Ha. I almost laughed in their faces. Pregnant me plus a full bladder equals a disaster. On my son's birthday back in March, I had to drive all the kids home afterward. I had drunk a lot of water and couldn't believe I had forgotten what happens to me when I drink too much water with no bathroom nearby when I'm pregnant. I counted the minutes till I got home all the while breaking the law and speeding trying to keep in mind not to drive too recklessly screaming at the poky people in front of me. It brought to mind the very first time I experienced a full bladder as a pregnant woman. It was my first baby and my husband was in the Air Force. So, when we had an ultrasound we went to the Academy in Colorado Springs. They told me to drink an astronomical amount of water before I came. I did so and then we started out for the half hour drive to the hospital. By the time we were on the ...

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...

Candy Stash

As I bite into a luscious Reese's peanut butter cup, I have one thought in my mind. Thank you, Lord, that none of my children have food allergies. Otherwise, I would not be able to steal some of the candy bars from their Halloween candy stash. I would normally consider myself a meat and potatoes kind of gal. I would rather eat roast and mashed potatoes than candy any day. There comes a time, though, in every woman's life when eating chocolate becomes a must. Yesterday, I grabbed the pumpkin full of candy, locked the bathroom door, filled the tub with hot water, and luxuriated in a chocolate fest. It had to be done. May I say that Snickers is the best candy bar ever? Of course, Reese's comes in a very close second. Peanut butter and chocolate were made for each other. I was a bit disappointed to see no Butterfinger bars at all. What's up with that? Aidan probably noticed the less than full pumpkin because he brought me an empty one and told me that we need ...
