In the Muthahood!

Happy Mother's Day to all of my Bloggy Moms! I've shown you some of Anita Renfro's videos before, but this one pretty much sums up my feelings on being a mother!

Remember to pause my music at bottom right before playing!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'm heading to NE for my nephew Tommy's Birthday.

It seems like just yesterday he was born! Crazy how time flys!

A Bunny and a Bird! So what's next a Baboon?

I love how my kiddos get this wild hare to add more creatures to our little family. It isn't just the kiddos who love the animals but my husband. Sometimes I think he is far worse than they are. And it seems like all it takes is some batting of the eyelashes, a couple of tears and her wish is his command.

Now, they don't dare ask him in front of me because I will stomp my foot in protest. So guess what happened the other day? I was bamboozled again! And this time it was twice in two days. I guess you could call me the sucker that I don't protest loud enough, but it doesn't seem to matter much, they just sneak them in the back door, literally!

Claire got her bunny, Charlie. Still not sure if it's a boy or a girl. So we think Charlie goes both ways. Well, I wasn't implying "THAT", but I guess it could be interesting if we got it a friend, lol!

And then there's Gus here! Its technically James' but my husband is in love with him!

Sorry, this was the best picture I could get of him with all his squawking!

So now I'm truly worried! I'm afraid since we're into animals that start with the letter "B", if they would try to sneak one of these guys in on me? It would not surprise me, except that they are illegal as pets!

Well if you could have them as pets, my luck it would be this mean creepy one!

And they would multiply and destroy everything!

So, now were are referred to as the neighborhood zoo. None of the other parents have to even think about getting a pet for their kids, they just tell them to run over to Megan's house!

Well, I'm off to find my earplugs for the night!

I'm linking up over at Debbiedoos Pet Partay!

PMD.....Pimple of Mass Destruction!

I went to bed last night feeling a little pimple coming on. I only referred to it as a "little" pimple because I didn't know there was an impending volcano waiting to erupt. We've all been there right? Ok, maybe some of you don't like to talk about them like I do, but hey, we all have them so call them what you will like zits, acne, blemishes, lurkers, or even creatures.

I did what any woman might do in this situation and that is to put a dab of toothpaste on it!

Well my husband took one look at me and said, "Baby, let's get it on!".

See, even after 18 years of marriage, I still got it!

I woke this morning thinking for sure the toothpaste did the trick. It just had too! Ha, who was I kidding. My daughter came in and said, "Ewwwwwww, what is that?

"Am I gonna have that when I'm your age?" "Honey, I hope not, but I looked exactly like my mother, skin and all (actually my mother had beautiful skin) so the odds are not in your favor!'' Yes, I'm evil and I kinda like it!

So, I went off to make the coffee, pack the lunches, toss a few not so very nice mommy words out and then threw the kids out the door!

I passed by a mirror and did a double take because as I was busy getting the kids out the door, the volcano did erupt and .......

now I see why Claire said Ewwwww!

Ok, I'm going in. I've got to go in head first (get it head first) and tackle this thing! I know its gonna hurt, but I can't take it anymore! I might scare someone!

I washed my face and tried to do my best cover up. Hell, I think I even spent 45 minutes trying to camouflage the thing and dam if the thing didn't triple in size. How the hell am I gonna cover this bad boy now?

I wonder if anyone will notice if I walk around like this?

I need to order some of this and fast!

I'd even try this if it works!

Hey I was only heading to the Library and Walmart. I figured my chances were mighty high that I would see many oozing people wandering both of those aisles, so I left my bag in the car!

I'm pretty sure with people like these, my little crater looked like a spec of dust!

Happy May Day!

Happy May Day, may some of you "Bee de-Flowered" and enjoy it!

Muhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Insert Foot Here!

So we were sitting in the bleachers at my son's school band/music concert last week, and I kinda had a very loud oops moment!

Just recently my son switched from playing Alto Sax to playing the Baritone Sax. We hadn't had the opportunity until then to see him play the thing or even carry it for that matter. His teacher doesn't want him to bring it back and forth because of how heavy and expensive it is. By the looks of it, I could understand her logic!

The concert itself went off without a hitch. Well lets just say it was as good as a 5th grade band concert could be. As James was walking off stage a friend's husband who was sitting close by said, "Wow, I'm impressed, that thing sure looks heavy for James to carry!" I then rather loudly said, "Yeah, did you see his strap on!"

I of course was referring to this, but by that time there was no back pedaling that would help me get out of this situation, and all eyes were on me!

Then my friend's husband said, "Well at least he's a boy!". I'm not sure if that helped any.

Hey it was getting a little boring in there and I just thought I would spice things up, no not really. I think its called, think before you speak! I'm still learning!

I wonder if I will ever sit through something without having to open mouth and insert foot. Doubtful, very doubtful. Where would the fun be in that!

A Kid's thoughts on Tooth Brushing!

I wonder if in your house it's a struggle to get your kids to brush their teeth. Well it sure is in mine. In fact, I can't tell you how many times one of my kids will say,

"I'll brush in the morning, I promise!" Funny thing is, come morning regardless if they did brush the night before or not, they will then say,

"I'll chew gum, no biggie!"

What do you mean no biggie, you still have to brush them! You're going to knock the bus driver over with your breath!

I can't tell you how many times I use this statement.... and it's still not working!

Well the other night we had the usual nightly battle of the tooth brush with Claire. I must have asked her 5 times to get her fanny in the bathroom and get her teeth brushed. I did my normal, yell, glare and even threaten to not read her a story if she didn't get in there. Usually if I say there won't be any book tonight she just goes running!

So I was hoping she would surprise me and just go on in there and brush on her own. I was prepared to give her the normal speech on plaque and cavities and why we don't want them. When I got in to the bathroom and saw her just standing in front of the mirror without her toothbrush in hand, I jumped into my lecturing of how I wouldn't ever think of going to bed without brushing and flossing, never! She turned and sighed and looked up at me and said, "Mom, you brush your teeth like crazy because you already have a guy, I don't so I don't see why I need to!"

It was so hard not to laugh with this one! It was just too funny, her putting the two together!

She'll figure it out soon, right!

She better, look at those teeth!

Enjoy your day!
