I Learned My Lesson

From my 3 yr old son, Monkey Boy

"I can't touch the light on the sharks, it hurts" - Finding Nemo reference though the light isn't on the sharks just on that funky fish that tries to eat Dory and Marlin. Maybe the boy sees something we don't.

"Babies cry and penis" - not exactly sure where he was going with this one. I did ask if he meant babies cry at the penis (haven't we all at one time or another?) but he emphatically said, "NO MAMA! Babies cry and penis".

"Boots can't touch the mountain, it's too dangerous."

My favorite moment of the day: laying down with Monkey Boy at bedtime. He would close his eyes, then I would close mine. Then he would breathe out of nose like he was laughing but trying to not laugh out loud. He had the silliest smirk on his face. Cracked me up. I was laughing then he would laugh. I'd say it was time to settle down and next thing ya know, he's doing it again. We laughed and giggled and said I Love You for the next 15 minutes. It was awesome.

My least favorite moment of the day: No spa retreat. The snow was coming down pretty harsh this morning and I don't ever like driving/riding/moving in the stuff so I called to reschedule it. Plus I didn't get my shower in last night, I needed to shave my legs and I just never would have had enough time to get ready since I spent a good part of 30 minutes trying to get the boy to put on clothes for once. Sheesh.

Peanut is cutting upper molars on each side. Ouch! Oh and she's congested and has a nose that resembles a sieve. Fun times. Seems just about every MommyBlogger I read is sick or has sick kids. Dammit Janet!

I love how you play with MonkeyBoy, it is just too cute. I haven't been by in awhile... I think I lost you somewhere along the way (an upgrade in WordPress, maybe...?), but you are back on my blogroll again where you belong. I missed you.

I wasn't blogging as often as I usually do for awhile there. I had to make time for the meltdowns and drama in my head. I'm glad you found your way back though. I wonder if anyone reads these. My stats say a lot do but I don't know....

I can't decide if I should appreciate my lurkers for the hits or be upset with them for the lack of comments. I have many that show up on a regular basis in the stats (some stay for 30-90 minutes at a time and view between 7 and 20 pages), but they NEVER let me know they're there, even if I beg. And as far as melt-downs and drama, I think I'm living that 24-7, myself, but I call them "crash 'n burn" and, well, "me". So there are often long periods between posts, when I'm sitting in the bathtub, crying.

*I* read comments on all my bloglist friend' posts, even if I don't comment myself, so I imagine most of us do.

Come visit me, too, okay? (Great Big Toothy Grin)

I don't know what HTML is or means. Kymberlee knows all that stuff...but I'm computer-illiterate. Anyhow, I also like the middle hair-do...and I LOVE the "new me" photo! It's GREAT! I'm looking forward to chatting with you again soon, kiddo. I love and miss you...as always.

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well,

Trish Needs.......

I did this cause of Suzi, whose page I read religiously - check her out here . I'm going with the top 30 Google responses to "Trish needs" because SO many of them are related to wrestling of which I am a fan but not capable of doing without killing myself and/or the other person (unless it's the husband in bed but we won't go there. No. We won't. His sister reads this! Hi Steph!) I've decided to add commentary where I feel it's needed because, well, because I can. 1. Trish needs to always be in control of the situation and her men (amen to that my friends) 2. Trish needs to get this card off as soon as possible 3. Trish needs to do some serious damage control 4. Trish needs your help (help packing, help mentally, help with laundry, help with Monkey Boy, etc) 5. Trish needs to come to OPS and talk to all counselors & supervisors 6. Trish needs a makeover ( I don't think it's THAT bad!) 7. Trish needs an intervention (I do not have an Oreo pr
