Pudding War

Bashful and I made chocolate pudding a couple nights ago. Luscious, creamy chocolate pudding. I gave the boys some the first night it was made and left the rest for another night. They devoured what was in their bowls and were left with chocolate mustaches.

Last night, I was on the phone for a while. I became a teenager again and chatted a while with a friend. I didn't realize that things had gotten very quiet until I came upstairs. The house was deserted and I realized they had all gone outside to enjoy the cool evening weather.

I let them have a half an hour of outdoor bliss before calling them inside. With the baby by my side, I decided to finish my dinner while watching my favorite summer show. Happy came in the house and noticed my hastily made food and asked if he could have some, too. Slowly dragging my eyes from the twirling dancers, I looked up at him and screamed.

He looked like he had gotten into a fight with the cat over the chocolate pudding. It was all over his face. Three things went through my mind at this point. First, he was over at the neighbor's house playing with the neighbor boy and his brothers. Second, what the neighbors must think of me. Finally, I realized he had gotten into the fridge while I was on the phone and made use of the rest of the pudding.

With outrage in my voice, I told him to go wash his face. Sleepy came over to me at that point and when I got a good look at his face, I was appalled. He had a growing bruise on his right eyebrow.

I demanded an explanation of Bashful and Grumpy. They finally remembered that he received that bruise from earlier on in the day. They had been horsing around as usual. I also asked them why in the world they didn't notice that Happy was covered in chocolate pudding. They looked at me as if I were insane. Happy? Covered in pudding? How absurd.

To Date or Not To Date

Doc and I have actually been tweeking with the idea of going on a date. I know. Totally weird. Not the idea of doing something romantic. It's the idea that we actually might have the guts to dump our offspring on some unsuspecting person. This has always been a hard decision for us to make. I mean, we do watch the news and let's face it, we're paranoid. That's probably why we haven't been on a real date that didn't include scarfing down our food as fast as we can and running back home to see if it's still standing and no one is bleeding. Just the other day, I asked Doc, "So, are we going out for Chinese tonight?" I was crossing my fingers mentally, chewing on my lip. I so wanted to be irresponsible. We haven't been on a date in forever and I was craving Chinese like crazy. I suggested that our 13-year-old son get a chance to hold down the fort for a couple hours. I even turned on my sexy voice and said, "We'll have our cell phone with ...

Grooming Gargoyles

Some say boys are much easier to raise.  I can see that.  Girls have that PMS thing going on once a month and who wants to deal with that?  Not me.  It's bad enough I have to deal with myself.  Plus, girls can be overly dramatic and cry a lot....wait.  Maybe they aren't too different from boys.  However, there is one thing that I probably wouldn't have to deal with if I had girls instead of boys. That would be hygiene. Being a girl myself, I know that girls like smelling nice.  We love to take baths and soak in sweet smelling bubbles and make our skin feel smooth.  No way are we going without brushing our teeth just in case our honey wants to steal a kiss.  Hair, makeup, deoderant...let's face it.  We are not going to face the day without looking good. My boys are different. They would wallow in their own filth and revel in it.  Big Mac Attack has finally gotten to the point where HH and I don't have to nag him to take ...

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...
