My crazy day...
Wednesday, October 10, 2007
I am having a crazy day today! I got up at 5:30 am! Which is way too early to begin with! My son was coughing. He wakes up every morning like that lately and I can't figure it out. Anyways right away he takes me into the kitchen...I'm hungry mommy. I can't even open my eyes yet...and this morning I feel a cold coming on. I was up all night...going to the bathroom every 2 hours or at least it seemed that way. (No, I'm not pregnant...don't have those pieces anymore!) But there I was pouring Froot Loops into a bowl that I could hardly see. I just went right back to the couch and layed down while my son watched his cartoons and ate his cereal...
But after a bit...he says to me again...Mommy I'm hungry....(Yes...he loves to eat!) So there I am again in the kitchen squinting my eyes unable to even see the counter never mind find what he wants. I just tell him...go bug your sister. I go lay down and fall back asleep almost instantly. I can hear my kids in the background playing and that is all I need to hear to convince myself a nap is what I need. I sure needed more than that for later that is for sure.
My son has a lot of energy. How??? I wish I knew. He just started kindergarten this year and he hates it when he isn't at school. He gets bored so easily. I have gotten in the habit of having lazy days because some day I will have to enter the work force outside my home again. Right now I work at home, it's been good to be able to earn the extra money because right now we need it. But when my son starts grade 1, I know my life will be different.
I have convinced him to play his video games instead of throwing all my books around. I really hate that when he does that! But what can I say?? I'm a home mom...that has a job at home!

How to know whether you are ready to have kids...
Tuesday, July 31, 2007
How To Know Whether Or Not You Are Ready To Have Kids:
MESS TEST Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.
TOY TEST Obtain a 55 gallon box of Legos (or you may substitute roofing tacks). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream because this would wake a child at night.
GROCERY STORE TEST Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.
DRESSING TEST Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all the arms stay inside.
FEEDING TEST Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.
NIGHT TEST Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 3:00p.m. begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00p.m. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00p.m. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more and sing these too until 4:00a.m. Set alarm for 5:00a.m. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.
INGENUITY TEST Take an egg carton. Using a pair of scissors and pot of paint, turn it into an alligator. Now take a toilet paper tube and turn it into an attractive Christmas candle. Use only scotch tape and a piece of foil. Last, take a milk carton, a ping-pong ball, and an empty box of Cocoa Puffs. Make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower.
AUTOMOBILE TEST Forget the BMW and buy a station wagon. Buy a chocolate ice cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there. Get a dime. Stick it into the cassette player. Take a family size package of chocolate chip cookies. Mash them into the back seat. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car. There, perfect.
PHYSICAL TEST (Women) Obtain a large bean bag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10 of the beans. And try not to notice your closet full of clothes. You won't be wearing them for a while.
PHYSICAL TEST (Men) Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest food store. Go to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.

Leaving kids in the cars...
Monday, July 30, 2007
I don't know when parents are going to learn. You don't put anything to stay in a car while you run in. What is so hard about bringing your kid in with you? If the kids are cranky then just come back the next day. It makes me angry to hear stories like this because it can be prevented.

This is CRAZY!!!
Friday, June 1, 2007
I was surfing around looking at blogs and this one blog caught my attention JasyJensThoughts. She included this YouTube video of a father that put their child in the microwave. It's disturbing to listen to as a parent because you wonder why that father is allowed to still live. Take a look and let me know how you feel.

Being a Mom is overated?
Wednesday, May 16, 2007
I saw this comic this morning in my mailbox. It sums up practically everything I feel about being a mother sometimes. We stay at home with our children every day. We don't get paid, we don't get promoted and we definately don't get the credit for what we do. But there are a lot of rewards that only we can have. I think being able to be with my children all day is an amazing thing. No one else cares for them but me. I get to have all the hugs and smiles I want for free. There is nothing like hearing your child say..."Mommy, I love you!" I think that the rewards outweigh the bad things. So today when you see your child smile...think I am the luckiest person alive. So today's question is:
What does your child do that makes you smile?
Have a good day and remember I am always here to talk to. Keep smiling!

People are Wacky
Tuesday, May 15, 2007
Today I think I want to focus on how wacky people can be. Especially when you are out in public. I remember a while back...and the last time...we went out to eat at a restaurant. My son was just not into eating anything more. So he decided he was going to crawl around and act like a baby. It was getting so busy in there that he almost tripped people bringing food to the table. So I did what I had to do. I grabbed a hold of him and he started to scream. Nothing like having your shirt riding up your back and your underwear showing, having this screaming kid to contend with and the stares. I think there should have been a neon light above me saying, "LOOK AT THIS MOM!!!" What we ended up doing is finishing our supper and removed him from the premises. He screamed all the way and I ended up carrying him to the car. It's crazy that people can just aggravate you even more by staring. Like come on about 60% of those people have probably been in the same situation.
Today's question is:
What is the worst temper tantrum your child has had?
Have a good day and remember...Keep smiling!!

A Joke about little Boys
Monday, May 14, 2007
I was surfing around and found this really cute about boys...if you have a son you need to read it. (Courtesy of http://dailyfunny.bob-space.com/index.html?utm_source=link2blogs&utm_medium=exchange)
Raising Boys
a)For those who have grown children - this is totally hysterical!
b) For those who have children past this age, this is hilarious.
c) For those who have children this age, this is not funny.
d) For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.
e) For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.
The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas: Things I've learned from my Boys (honest and not kidding):
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq.ft. house 4 inches deep.
2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over themwith roller blades, they can ignite.
3) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in acrowded restaurant.
4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is notstrong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwearand a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paintcan, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.
5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw theball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball along way.
6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop abaseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it'salready too late.
8) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9.) A six-year old boy can start a fire with a flint rock eventhough a 36-year old man says they can only do it in themovies.
10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a4-year old boy.
11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the samesentence.
12.) Super glue is forever.
13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool youstill can't walk on water.
14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15.) VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TVcommercials show they do.
16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute responsetime.
21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.
25.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.
