What's Up, Doc

-


Overheard at the dinner table.

Kid Two asks Kid One:

"Do carrots really help you see better?"

Kid Two replies:

"Yeah...I think so."

Then comes Kid Two's brilliant conclusion...
"We should totally give ALL of our carrots to mom."

I guess you didn't eat enough as a kid. They were not my favorite....unless they were smothered in butter and brown sugar! xo

I only like them raw....a little bit.

The only vegetable I'd say I don't like.
Kid Two doesn't like them either.
That's why he tried to pawn them off on ME! ;-)
"Oh....mom needs to see better...."

While that IS true, he is very clever!

I Hit Snooze, Again

-
Do people hibernate? I'm convinced we do. Or I've just decided this is the reason for my wanting to stay under the covers and become a professional snoozer. The fact that I haven't seen the sun in 8 days and it hasn't been balmier than 45º has driven my inner bear-ness. I live in a cloud. Really. This town is officially a cloud. And not a pretty, billowy cumulonimbus cloud. More like a big, heavy, grey, damp blanket of a cloud. Blah. Wake me when it's spring....

Got Muscles?

welcome to the gun show Mark is a total gym rat. It is his addiction. I like wine, he likes muscles. Different strokes for different folks... I was away on holiday with the kids, so he would occasionally text me photos of his day. One day he was extra stoked about his gym visit, and he texted me a photo of himself...and his guns. Nothing scandalous...but my husband shirtless and flexing ...in the mirror. Here's our conversation: Mark: Just so you know, I sent this to my colleague at the office before I sent it to you...ugh. Me: Did he tell your muscles are hot? Mark: Ugh!!! I'm on my way to the office now... Me: Well...have an awesome day, Hercules.  Mark: You suck.  Moral: Accidental texting makes for a totally awkward day at work.

The Drive Of Shame

I'm always so glad to know I'm not the only Mom who sometimes feels like she fell down the rabbit hole. I love to hear my friends crazy stories from the front lines of Mommiedom. Nothing like a great big laugh from your gut to make your day. Occasionally I re-tell their stories here, but I always ask permission with a promise never to divulge names. Here's "Yours". Thanks for making me laugh so hard I snorted. Mom walks into a mall with two young children in tow. The youngest is two. Its springtime and they are there to visit the Easter Bunny. The line is 5 Chinese dragons long. l o n g. They wait one hour. This is Mom's first attempt with her Kid Two at the hallowed Easter Bunny tradition. It's their turn. At this point, Mom is dreaming of getting wasted away again in Margaritaville. She plops, a now screaming Kid Two on Mr. EB's lap. She apologizes to Mr. EB. She tries to reposition Kid two. Kid Two is now crying so passionately ...
