This and Thats for the Week...

Oh how I laughed yesterday. And I immediately picked up the phone to ring my Mom and make her laugh too.

Words of a 7th Grade Girl in art class (circa. 1986)
"Mom everyone around me got moved today because they wouldn't stop talking to me."

Ohhhh. We all know I, I mean 'the girl', was the one talking, but the teacher didn't want to hurt my, I mean her, feeliongs so she moved everyone away so I, again I meant 'the girl', would stop talking to THEM!

Words of a 1st Grade Boy in gym (circa. 2009)
"Mom, the radio fell when I was standing next to it."

Ohhhh. What he is not saying- Yes! it fell, but it was because I was standing next to it AND I had the cord wrapped around my neck and my legs...

have a good night...

Wordless Wednesday...

Safety First...

Good Night.

Not Me Monday...

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This fantastic idea was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to check out what other just like me have not been doing over the past 7 hectic days.

I did not walk into the bathroom and have to put the toilet seat down and flush the toilet 14 times this week just because my boys can't seem to grasp the concept that I could fall-in without that seat! And I really did not count the times on purpose- that would just be anal.

I would not even consider eating Jimmy John's 2 days in a roll. that would destroy my Weight Watcher points...for the next two weeks! NEVER would I do that. (those Vinegar chips were NOT good...not at all.) And after all was said and done, I did not lose weight for me cheating ways either...cause that would mean I learned NOTHING!

I did not learn how to Hula Hoop on WiiFit while my husband snickered and my boys smiled. Hint...It is NOT easier to do it virtually than it is in real life. I mean come on- I Hula Hoop with 5 hoops around my hips everyday...its called raising small boys!

I did not buy Morgan an Ed Hardy t-shirt at The Rack. I mean, who buys designer clothing for a 3 year old? I am not THAT mother. Oh yeah, and it is not blue at all which is Morgan's favorite color.

I did not give Cade, my hyperactive 6 year old, donuts on both Saturday and Sunday this week becasue I am never that lazy.

I can't believe someone would think that I went into work at 4:00am to try and get some work done before going home at 7:00am to be with a sick little boy. That is just way too early and I am not a dedicated employee.

I am not worried about the current state of the economy and remaining employeed. That would just cause me undue stress. (sigh...)

My Favorite Place...The Beach

No words can properly explain how much I enjoy this place...

Olive Juice...

'I love you' is something that we say a lot in our home, and we will never grow tired of it.

A few years back, at least 7 years, Bob started leaning down and whispering very quickly in my ear, 'Olive Juice.' Try it! If you say it very quickly it sound just like 'I love you.'

Now Cade use to laugh and laugh when we did this to him, always ending in a breathless tickle fest.

So how do you think Morgan reacted when I did this for the first time ever to him? Well, here it is...

Mommy: I lean in closely for a good night kiss and I whisper in his ear, 'O-live Juice.'

Morgan: With a big smile on his face he leans forward and whispers in my ear, 'Baking Soda.'

Wow! He is my little experiment. It left me speechless with a huge smile.


Baking Soda to you all,

Random Morgan Quote:

"Mommy, are you threatening me?"

Okay, all I said was that I was going to tickle him. Apparently that is a threat...

Enjoy your evening...
