This would be my life, except I am never lying down unless I am unconscious. Maybe they have another version picturing Lois sitting at the computer, trying to 1.) pay the bills; 2.) engage in paid employment; or 3.) be a writer. That would be my life.
OMG. That is hysterical. Absolutely hysterical. Thanks! I have never actually watched the Family Guy but I’m thinking I should start. At the very least I should remember to hop on You Tube for a clip when I need a giggle.
I swear they kids will try out all variety of names just to GET MY ATTENTION. And in my head I’m all like, Um No Just Go Away…until, like Lois, I’m all like “WHHHHHAAAAAT?!!!!”
But really? The “what” is just another version of the “go away.” Poor kids, their clueless.
Shoot. I am making mistakes all over the web tonight!! I mean “doesn’t say” and forgot to delete “call.”
But, since I am already writing, I figure I should further explain the whole “dad” thing. My daughter does not call me anything during the day. She screams. Yup.
Yet, when her dad comes home, it is “dad” all night long.
Oh my. And the bullfrog one from Becca. So funny, especially that the Dad’s catching one for this disheveled teenager who isn’t really going to want a bullfrog. You can tell parents write these.
Yeah, you and I are surely connected mentally somehow…saw this on TV in October (I remember b/c I was putting my Halloween costume on!), and I was doubled over laughing. Hubby and I have done this as a “shtick” about a million times since. Non-parents don’t seem to get it. Hmmm. It made me crack up all over again! While I was watching it, Hubs was in the kitchen and heard it and was like: “HEY! That’s it!”
At the end of two days at the office I am so glad to be home and to know that I don't have to get up and out tomorrow. I can be with my family.At the end of a day with my kids I am so overcome with exasperation that I can't believe I looked forward to such a day.I try to be grateful for every mome
I've been so indecisive about my emotions this week. The weather's been rainy, and so have I. I feel a sour melting of my heart with every wish for bedtime, for alone time, for peace and quiet. I love my kids, I do. But it takes a special lens to find joy in the every day, the every need, the feedin
Is there any other kind of day? They happen at work, and they happen at home. And today is one of them. I was going to get up early and post. Start the day with something for me. I got up at 8 o'clock. EIGHT. Radical. I threw a load of laundry in shortly after waking, because Wednesday I am not at t
"Mama, Can I help you?"
"Sure, honey, do you want to peel the carrot?"
"OK!"
And on that note, there's still time to participate in Love it Up. Write a love letter. Make it racy. Passionate. Gooey. While your kids are making their Valentine's for classmates this week, sit beside them and dr
Meg,I am absolutely thrilled in every way to find out that you are, by golly, finally pregnant!!! Yay! Wahoo! Skideedle Dat! (that sounded cool in my head)I have to say that I was kind of stunned and amazed to hear the news last night. I certainly wasn't expecting it. It was so nonchalant how you of
My mother woke me up and told me to get dressed, get ready right away, and come downstairs. There was something wrong with Dad at the hospital.
The night before, my parents had gone to the driving range to hit some balls. I didn't recall the last time they ever did that because my father's back p
I've been working on a project that I can't even blog about. It's too top secret. And it's keeping me from the blog world except to check in briefly on a few favorites every few days. The less time I have to myself, the more I find I need to trim what I do with it. It's kind of like my day job: Ther
The kids, I mean. Your kids. The ones who are constantly underfoot. Asking for something. A snack. Help. A story. A solution to their everpresent boredom.
But sometimes you just have to let them fend for themselves. You have to let them fight, keeping an ear out for bloodshed but otherwise staying
I thought I would share with you all a few of the items I recently have found while doing laundry. All items were recovered from the clothing of my two oldest children, ages 3 and 5. Introducing, in no particular order, pocket contents:

So I'm taking Dan away for a secret weekend. (So this better not be the day he starts reading the blog, or I'm a-gonna just ruin the surprise right now.) My five running lists are upstairs and I have more motivation to retype them all from memory (ha!) than walk up the 12 steps to get them. So h

YES! The first time I saw this, I had to play it (on DVR) for everyone who walked through the door. THIS IS MY LIFE.
This would be my life, except I am never lying down unless I am unconscious. Maybe they have another version picturing Lois sitting at the computer, trying to 1.) pay the bills; 2.) engage in paid employment; or 3.) be a writer. That would be my life.
Love this. Is it a boy thing? (Methinks.) And the good news? They still pull this shit even when they’re teenagers. Then laugh and take off.
Hmmph. Good to know I have more reasons to just.get.used.to.it.
OMG – I KNEW I loved you! This is awesome. thank you from the bottom of my heart for this… I so so so needed this laugh.
xo

Thanks!
Or this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwtjsLUsKjU My daughter and I laughed hysterically the other night at the Bullfrog one. Funny stuff,
I am really enjoying your blog. My sister talked me into doing one too but we don’t do one together… Maybe we should think about it… :-)
JUST TONIGHT, my husband was all, “WHY does he switch from MOMMY MOMMY MOM to MA???”
Oh the hilarity. I love this.
I swear they kids will try out all variety of names just to GET MY ATTENTION. And in my head I’m all like, Um No Just Go Away…until, like Lois, I’m all like “WHHHHHAAAAAT?!!!!”
But really? The “what” is just another version of the “go away.” Poor kids, their clueless.
:)
Holy Crap!!! I am sending that to my husband.
Just one more reason why I don’t really care that my daughter doesn’t call say “mom.” She says “dad” instead. : )
Shoot. I am making mistakes all over the web tonight!! I mean “doesn’t say” and forgot to delete “call.”
But, since I am already writing, I figure I should further explain the whole “dad” thing. My daughter does not call me anything during the day. She screams. Yup.
Yet, when her dad comes home, it is “dad” all night long.
Like I said, I am not too worried.
Oh my. And the bullfrog one from Becca. So funny, especially that the Dad’s catching one for this disheveled teenager who isn’t really going to want a bullfrog. You can tell parents write these.
Yes. That one had me cracking up and all grossed out at the same time. Love these little funnies! Mamas need a good chuckle.
Love it. I feel like this a lot!
Welcome! And totally. Me too. Overwhelmed and annoyed just trying to ignore it all. But there’s not much hope for that!
Bwah! SO true.
Haha! That is SO my life!!!! Except I think I have probably stopped asking “What?” these days!
