30 Days of Me Challenge - Day 14

Day 14- A picture of you and your family

This was taken at my daughter's first birthday party.  This is my whole family, excluding in-laws... My grandmother is sitting in the chair (she passed about 2 years ago)... she is holding my daughter who is now 5 and my son who was almost 3 (now 7) is standing next to her.  The other girls standing right behind my grandmother are my nieces.  Also in the pic are my brother and sister-in-law, my husband, me, my dad, my nephew, my mom, my other nephew, my sister, my brother-in-law, my uncle and my aunt.

This is the most recent of my husband, my kids and myself.  It was taken in May 2010.  I guess it's time for a new family pic.  =)

30 Days of Me Challenge - Day 13

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

I have already gotten everything off my chest that has needed to be said.

Yes, I've been hurt...

I've been lied to...

deceived...

betrayed.

But there's really no point in dwelling on these things.

And no point letting them stew inside me without a word.

So, if I have been hurt or have felt angry towards anyone, it has been said.

Any of you reading this, if you are my friend, I promise you, if there's a problem, you will know!

Day 12- How you found out about Blogger and why you made one

A friend who is no longer a friend had started a blog and I thought about how my life tends to have ridiculously funny moments that I just didn't have a good way to catalog them...

And being a stay-at-home mom, I spend entirely too much time inside my own head.

Therefore, this blog...

Welcome to my brain! lol

There's not enough alcohol in the world.

I have hit the very end of my rope tonight.

More often than not, my kids refuse to eat the food I make for dinner.

In the past, we have just let the kids make themselves something else to eat... because I make ONE meal.

So, tonight, both kids went to make themselves a sandwich... except chocolate spread and jelly is not acceptable for dinner... or ever for that matter.

The boy child got pissed at me and was hanging on one of the cabinet doors... which, I should mention, has been a part of this house probably since it was built in the 50's... so, the hinge ended up breaking.

Which wouldn't have pissed me off quite as much if events leading up to it weren't what they were and this child has a history of breaking shit just because he can.

I flipped out... told both kids to sit their asses down at the table and eat what I made.

Somehow along the way, the boy got super glue on the tip of his tongue.

How the FUCK does that happen?

So, while he's crying like a newborn baby, I'm calling poison control...

No big deal the lady tells me...

In the meantime, the husband is yelling at me because I'm past my angry point and am now beyond fucking furious.

The crying continues... I yell "eat your fucking food"... crying continues... I slam my hand on the table a few times and tell the boy to go to bed. I don't want to see him again tonight.

It's now 2 hours after this all started, he's still crying... over what? God only knows!

He jumped on his sister's decorative toy bird cage and broke it... yet he cried like it was his.

He wrote me a note:

OMG... 

Sorry to hear that, kid.

Interesting... I should apologize to him.  

Because I made him a healthy, tasty dinner?

That'll be a cold day in hell.

I just told him to brush his teeth and he's crying again.

Are you FUCKING kidding me?

I need a drink!  Seriously.

As Seen on TV crap

Okay, so everyone in my house is sick.

The husband has a sinus infection and has been home yesterday and today.

The boy child stayed home both days, too. He has a cold with a nasty cough.

The girl child stayed home today. She also has a cold, but her post nasal drip is causing her belly to be sick.

So, we're here watching a disgusting amount of tv.

Mostly watching the HUB.

And I have to say some of the commercials I have seen set me off.

I have seen one for a blanket/puppet. It looks RIDICULOUS!

Seriously?

~~~~

But the one that sets me off the most is the slipper/puppet.

Why would you let your kid play with something that their sweaty feet were just in?

My son said "But Mom, you can share them with your friends."

My response was "Oh yeah... here Friend, let me share my foot sweat with you!"

So gross.

~~~~

How about this one?

Here kids, let's grow our own infestation of ladybugs!

Yeah, not happening.

~~~~

Every time I see this one, I can't help but yell at the tv...

Why the hell would I teach my dog to pee in the house?!

Are people really that lazy? Seriously?

~~~~

There is not enough money in the world... seriously...

~~~~

I just can't come up with anything more than smh...

~~~~

I can make some pretty damn good s'mores in my MICROWAVE.

The last thing I'm doing is buying something special just to make fucking s'mores.

~~~~

This one I want!

My father-in-law and step-mother-in-law have one and it's awesome!!

~~~~

Seriously?

~~~~

Dude, you're not fooling anyone. Nice try though.

~~~~

I would NOT buy this for my kids. At all. Cookies should never be any of those colors. Not to mention that they don't look very appetizing for reasons other than the colors. Just sayin'.
