RTT: So Lotta Random, so little time...

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 10 comments

I haven't done Random Tuesdays in a while because there have been So Many Other Things keeping me busy. So busy in fact, that I was actually scared to open my Google Reader this morning. But I Kept On Persevering through the fear and clicked on it anyway and up pops Keely. I just couldn't resist her Efficiency.

The Un Mom
  • Yesterday I did something new. I decided I was going to Embrace the FreshNewStartness of Mondays. Sadly, Monday decided not to Return My Embrace. Rude! So.... Yay Tuesday!
  • I think I am going to Stop Overanalyzing the fact that I over analyze Everything and just go with it. HOWEVER, I believe that "A closed mouth gathers no foot." which leads to me think that Brevity is Good. So I'm not going to overanalyze things Out Loud anymore.
  • This doesn't count because I'm typing Quietly.
  • Thing4 was talking to me after school about how his day had been. I was listening to him while I was cleaning the kitchen. Which means asking Alot of Very Specific questions if you want to know anything important and otherwise MMhmmm'ing in the right places.
Cause I'm a good mom like that ;)

  • He tells me he learned SO Much and I was like You DID? That's Awesome! What did you learn? Ummm..... I can't really remember.
AND THEN... "My friend Jacob told me he has a coochie. Mommy what's a coochie?"
WHAT!?
Ya.
So, I'm thinking I'm going to be hs'ing next year.
Because if my KINDER-GARDENER is hearing that word,
WTSamHeck is my 3rd Grader hearing?

  • Speaking of my 3rd Grader. Yesterday Thing2 tells me that she learned all about Child Abuse. Most of it she had already heard from us, though some of their *details were different. In her words...
Thing2: "They talked about all kinds of abuse. Ya we learned about Sexual Abuse and, you know the Kind That Hurts You." BUT they had these puppets .. blah Blah BLAH"
Me (thinking this would be a perfect opportunity to reinforce a few facts): "Did they talk about Blah and Blah? And do you remember that blah Blah BLAH?"
Thing2: Ya mom. I know I know. BUT THESE PUPPETS..."

So glad to see that she Got The Point......

  • Apparently, I do not Adapt Well To Change because I am NOT happy that someone broke my Facebook. WtHeck!? Really?? I LOVE my friends. So much. But I just don't feel the need to know Every Single Thing they do. Do we really Need to know every time they become Friends with SomeoneIDon'tKnow? or are a Fan of SomeCrapIDon'tCareAbout? NOPE. Not so much.
  • My kids are So Freakin Excited about halloween being this weekend. We don't normally do traditional halloweeny stuff. But this year a friend is having a birthday/ Trick Or Treating party. So we're going to go. I just want to make sure that they understand that I get ALL of the Peanut M & Ms we are not going to crack out on candy for the next week.


Now go post your own Random Tuesday Thoughts and link up @ The UnMom.com because I cleared out my Google Reader and now I have absolutely nothing to distract me from my laundry :)

Bleeding, PeePee dancing, Flashing... You know... All of the usual stuff you do in a week...

randomtuesday


  • So last week was a pretty interesting week.
  • Not exactly the Most.Hellacious.Day.EVER! type of week, but still... definitely not boring.
  • Not that we actually have very many boring days around here to begin with.
  • The more I think about it... boring could be good for a little while.
  • Just so you know...
  • I am NOT writing anything else about PEE or URINE or POTTY TRAINING EVER again!
  • For 2 reasons.
  1. It seems to be prophetic.
You would not believe what Thing2 did!

She keeps a bag packed... always!... just in case someone happens to come over and wants her to spend the night.

Even though the only place I ever let her stay is the grandparents.

Apparently someone took all of her stuff out of the bag and it was nowhere to be found.

She decided that Thing3 MUST HAVE taken it and hidden it.

Or... at the very least, left their door unlocked and allowed the little ones in to wreak havoc with her precious stuff.

And for that Thing3 MUST be punished!

So she proceeded to PEE in Thing3's bag because that somehow made it FAIR.

WTHECK?????

What is that???

I cannot even begin to wrap my mind around that concept.

I guess she was a little... *pissed.

Hahahahahaaa.

Okay. Moving on...

2. Someone searched peepee dance aaaaand my blog came up 1st thing.

Along with some really really freaky creepy stuff.

Like anonymous peepee dance groups.

And strange videos.

And peepee kings.

Did you know that someone will actually PAY you to do ...er... wierd peepee dance stuff????

May I just say.... EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

And those are just things that I saw right off the search page. I was too creeped out to actually click on any of those links....

So, no more peepee here. Nope. You will not see the word peepee here again.

As far as the internet is concerned... we no longer pee at my house ;)

  • Thing5 busted her head open. As in huge hole in her forehead with LOTS of blood loss and screaming and gnashing of teeth.
  • 4 stitches worth of busting her head open actually.
  • She hit it on the edge of a concrete bench.
  • Out of 6 kids she's the first to have to be rushed to the E.R.
  • So I'm doing pretty darn good here!
  • And she was AMAZING.
  • Beyond amazing.
  • The.MOST.Amazing.Child.EVER!
  • When they came in to do the stitches the guy wanted to *papoose her. As in wrap her up in a sheet like a mummy so she couldn't move.
  • WTH??
  • The guy was like "Yeah it just makes it easier to keep them still. We've found that most kids fight us when it comes time to do stitches.
  • Umm... YA! I'm sure the whole mummy sheet thing has NOTHING to do with that.
  • So I was adamant about NO turning my sweet little 3yo into a mummy. And we told her she had to lay down and be really really still so the doctor could put the *string band aids in her head so it can heal.
  • She says "It's okay. God is already healing it."
  • And I told her that God sent the doctors to give her band aids"
  • She laid perfectly still the whole.entire.time.
  • She didn't move.
  • She didn't cry.
  • She didn't even whimper.
  • It's like she just went inside herself until it was all over.
  • She was absolute awesomeness.
  • So I gave her my peanut M&M's.

  • I think Thing2 is showing Doctor Potential.

Thing2: "I know just what to do mommy! Thing5... What does 2+2 equal???"

Thing5... who just turned 3 and has NO idea what 2+2 equals on ANY day: "2+2 equals... my head is BLEEDING!"

Thing2: "OH MY GOSH I think she has BRAIN DAMAGE!"

  • I read something about the more colorful your food is the better it’s supposed to be for you. I think I might even have read it on one of the rtt's from last week.

  • So I'm wondering if that's real.

  • And if it includes M&M's.

  • Because if it is true then they should definitely count.

  • They are VERY colorful ;)

  • Apparently I am now in the *business of flashing.
  • Construction crews no less.
  • I had a lil help from Thing6.

I was outside talking to a neighbor holding a WIGGLY Thing6. Who decided to pull my shirt down. And you could see.. well..things that are usually NOT seen... And to top it all off 3 construction trucks happened to be rolling by... death by mortification....

  • I know. Last week was Naked Random Thoughts.
  • And I said I was definitely NOT getting naked.
  • I guess I just felt left out....

Keely has all her clothes on this week

  • So Keely's on vacation and has a *guest poster for rtt this week. And one of her random thoughts was "I’ve been watching Sex and the City reruns lately since there’s nothing else on. I find it fascinating that (naked or clothed) Sarah Jessica Parker can go from being butt ugly to insanely hot in a split second. It’s like a hidden super power and I want it."
  • And I thought "That is SO true! & I want it too!!!"
  • That made me laugh SO hard I almost peed in my pants. Thank God for SuperMommyStopMidTinklePowers or we might have had a problem.
  • Okay. I would have had a problem. But it's nice to share....
  • This is probably the kind of stuff that makes my blog come up when people search for things like what do you feel if you urinate.
  • Ummm... like you don't have to pee anymore???
  • I'm guessing.
  • I could be wrong ;)
  • I cannot figure out why the thing.i.hate.! is the thing that will keep my kids happy and quiet for HOURS???
  • They love mud.
  • The dirty kind.
  • They love it so much that I'm aboutthiscloseto grabbing a handful and taking it to Sherwin Williams to get matching paint.
  • Speaking of dirty things...
  • Yesterday I spent most of the day unplugged because I decided it would be a great idea to open up my mouse and clean it.
  • And then it quit working.
  • Next time I am SO anal retentive feel the need to take things APART to clean dirt that you can't even see I'm going to tell Martha to just.shut.up! and I'm leaving it dirty.
  • Potty training tip ~ if you toss a Cheerio into the toilet after you flush it every time the next time a boy ... any boy... uses it... he WILL aim.
  • Doesn't matter how old they are. There's just something about peeing on a cheerio. It is impossible for them NOT to.
  • Idk why cause I'm not *equipped to stand and aim but... it is a Proven Fact.
  • Last night one of Our Favorite Neighborhood Strays was hangin out in the man.cave. and I was just sitting out there listening to their nonsense conversation and the whole time I was thinking... Dude! I am SO glad I don't have a penis.


I am definitely not getting naked
(you are welcome!)
but there's no telling what they're doing over here...

Random

Something unexpected and irrelevant, but often amusing. A very over-used word now, please people, use it when something really is random. See example below for a true example of random.

Holly: Sorry to hear your hamster died Bob...

Bob: Window cleaners for British rail should watch out for flying man-eating deckchairs today, swimming in from the south along with the flea-ridden coathangers. The calf needs the blinds shut due to his purple parrot problem, and the pet washing line needs a slap round the face for dropping the flying monkey on the "queen of the night" tulips. The muffin man is responsible for the sudden outburst of rain yesterday as he forgot to pay the rent on his blue strawberries. I'm sorry, did you say you wanted a biscuit?

Holly: Random! Custard cream please.

  • I just can't stop thinking about this baby. Stellan's story is... beautiful and ... heart wrenching and ...
  • It made me cry more than the end of Prince Caspian.
  • I was boohoo'in just watching that clip.
  • I know. But it's sad!
  • That movie absolutely rocks.
  • Just so you know... the girls and I totally karoakied that song when I was looking up that link.
  • Aaaaand... we rocked!
  • We're thinking of putting that up on You Tube.
  • Hahahahaha.
  • There is a reason that I sing in the car.
  • So Stellan's story reminded me of this one time...
  • Okay. I cannot think the phrase "this one time" without immediately ending it with *at band camp.
  • Idk why.
  • As I was saying, reading the posts about Stellan took my mind back to when I was pregnant with Thing3.
  • I was on COMPLETE bed rest for the.entire.pregnancy.
  • She was born at 27 weeks and spent about 2 months in the NICU.
  • That was... excruciating. To say the least.
  • I seriously thought I was going to die from *the Mommy Guilt.
  • That's a real thing. Ask any mom.
  • You feel guilty for leaving the ones at home to be at the hospital.
  • You feel guilty for leaving the one at the hospital to be at home.
  • You feel guilty cause you're SO tired from running back and forth that all you really want to do is take a loooong nap and just kinda... wakeupwhenit'sallover.
  • And you feel completely useless because really... there is nothing you can do to change it.
  • Until you remember that you can get on your knees.
  • In prayer people! Bring it up from the gutter ;)
  • Thing3 is 7 years old now.
  • And perfect!
    She is the physical essence of my faith.
  • And the hope that other people need to cling to.


Photobucket

Isn't she so prettyful?!

  • I am so rockin Alanis right.now.
  • I thought you might like to know that.
  • Aaaaand I am just all outta random for today...

But Keely's the queen of random.
I bet she never runs out
The Un Mom

Oh ya! Almost forgot.

I'm gonna get a bff.
I'm not really up on that whole thing anymore so...
Is there like a store or something that you can get one of those at?
Hit me up if you have one you don't need any more. K?

Random Linky Bloghoppin Stuff. On A Tuesday.

Tuesday, July 14, 2009 8 comments

All of my favorite things in 1 post!

Lists, Multi-tasking and Efficiency.

Woohoo!


We're takin a walk on the *wild side;)

I know.

Martha, Martha, Martha!

She pops up so much lately I'm beginning to think she's a whole 'nother personality.

Would that make me schizophrenic or is that only if I start talking to her???

IDK.

So here are some random things about me that you might not know and probably didn't want to but have always wanted to.
  1. I hate small talk. Even if you call it "fellowship" and serve doughnuts.
  2. I'm shy. Really. Just pass the doughnuts, and please don't make me talk.
  3. Unless I know you. Then you probably won't be able to shut me up. Because chances are you're the FIRST adult conversation I've had all week.
  4. So I guess you get that I'm not big on social settings.
  5. or public restrooms.
  6. or other things that smell bad.
  7. I really really love Febreeze.
  8. and Shout.
  9. I can use an ENTIRE bottle of Shout in 3 days.
  10. I really really do not love laundry.
  11. It is possible to feed kids all.day.long and then look up at 4pm and realize you forgot to eat. Again.
  12. And then you're so hungry you could eat ... well ... something you normally wouldn't.
  13. I keeping a running estimate of the caloric values of everything I eat in mind.
  14. If we are what we eat, I am 1/3 veggies, 1/3 carbs, and 1/3 Chocolate Chip Cookies.
  15. If you’re anal retentive ocd enough to calculate calories and then admit to extreme cookie consumption, you probably should not make such information public.
  16. I write inspirational, * chick lit.
  17. Would love to be published one day.
  18. But would hate all the social scenes that might involve.
  19. Stormie O’Martian’s The Power of a Praying Wife was Life.Changing.
  20. My husband and I have been together for 10 years.
  21. We were very young.
  22. And very, very stupid.
  23. And God has done SO much with us that now I would only add 1 notveryemphatic very before the stupid.
  24. And that's saying ALOT.
  25. God is really really good.
  26. I like to talk to Him when I'm half asleep snuggled under the covers.
  27. And when I'm driving.
  28. Which often makes the people driving beside me look at me like I'm insane for talking to myself.
  29. 30% of those times I might...actually... be talking to myself.
  30. I have to go Google Bing Right.Now. because I saw an ad while I was checking my email and Martha says I must find out what it is immediately!
Ya'll have a great day!
