Son: Ma! Instead of hangin’ my pants low, I’m starting something new. *walks by with boxers flipped down over pants*
Me: You are a nutball.

Me: I don’t think everyone’s gonna—
Son: *cuts me off mid-sentence* AWESOME!

A Mother's Love
Son: Ow! Owww! Me: What is it? What’s wrong? Son: My braces hurt! I can’t eat! Every time I bite down, the bottom hits the top and it really hurts! Me: You know, some birds chew the food up for their young, then spit it in their mouths. Son: Um.. I’m not that desperate, thanks.

Every now and then we happen upon a quiet moment and my 5yo asks me to hold her like I did when she was a baby. Of course, I do, and I’m taken back to a time when I could just squeeze her and love on her and OMG! OMG! My back!! She is DEFINITELY not a baby anymore! Y’all remind me not to do that again!

How To Treat Kids To A Snow Cone
Step 1 - Curse the ice cream man and the truck he rode in on!
Step 2 - Tell kids it’s coming out of their college tuition. (2a - Tell them they won’t need the money anyway as they are freezing their brain cells having something off that damn truck every time it comes through)
Step 3 - Realize it’s way too messy to eat inside and set them up on the front stoop.
Step 4 - Check on them from time...
Tattle Tale
In my house, we ALWAYS sit down to dinner as a family and tell our day…
7yo: Is daddy gonna be home for dinner?
Me: Yes. We’re gonna wait for him unless you’re hungry and you want to eat now.
7yo: No. I just wanna tell my day. Tell my day with you. How you went to the store and bought a lot of stuff.
Me: Gee, thanks.

I can’t participate in GPOYW as posting a picture of my tattoo would mean somehow contorting myself to snap a picture of my ass and… I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly.

On the way 2 Target… 7yo: mom, what’s H-O-O-T-E-R-S? Me: (sigh) Hooters. It’s a restaurant. 7yo: Why don’t we go there? Me: I don’t think it’s an approriate place for children. 7yo: (in disbelief) There can’t be a restaurant that’s inappropriate for kids! Me: Yes there can and that’d be it.
The Coughing Fit: I'd Kick You If I Could...
Just now, after placing my order, I had one of my coughing fits in Starbucks…
Me: ((((Coughing profusely))))
Barista: Did you say no whip?
Me: STILL COUGHING, nods head.
Barista: Did you say grande?
Me: Non-stop with the coughing, eyes watering, slightly hunched, nods head!
Barista: Would you like a little water?
Me: (Sqeezed between coughs) Yes!
Barista: Do you want ice?
Me:...

RT @huffingtonpost The iPhone ‘Sausage Stylus’: Beat The Cold With Meat (PHOTOS) http://bit.ly/arXLdj [Couldn’t the men just… well… um… I guess if it’s too cold to whip out your fingers, you wouldn’t want to whip anything else out either hence the “beat the cold with meat”, rather than “beat the meat in the cold.” Ha! See...
...now what shall I do with these @johncmayer...
Oh my! Everyone’s so much in a tizzy about this John Mayer quote in Playboy! I read the entire interview… long interview. I mention long because the quote while ignorant, is a very small part of the interview and taken ever so slightly out of context. It seems to me he’s saying he wants to try something new, i.e. stop dating with his dick and maybe date a black woman. Quite...
Tumblr should have a special designation...
joeschmitt:
to denote how much the person must really love the post, because it’s ridiculously hard to do. If you agree heart and reblog this post.
If you disagree, reblog this from your iPhone. I dare you.
I did reblog this from my iPhone, but couldn’t find the spot to note that :-/

All My Children
I used to side eye folks who said things like, “my children are the best thing I’ve ever done.” REALLY? Really? o_O
Then I had a bunch of ‘em! While that actual statement has never come out of my mouth, I do love them more than anything. REALLY! Nothing even comes close. Moms will say it’s a different kind of love and blah blah blah, but truthfully, love is love....

Do you find that chemistry degree comes in handy for your current gig?
Is this some sort of joke? I’m a stay@home mom of 4! Of course it does! How else would I be able to put those “special” beverages together that take the edge off of motherhood?
Ask me anything… except that.

any tips for snapping back in shape?
I work out, not fanatically, but I work out. I believe my snapping back in shape is due to genes; however, keeping active throughout my pregnancies, even if just taking walks, helped a lot. I didn’t overdo it because you start to fight what your body naturally wants to do: gain weight! I also breastfed each of them, for the entire...

In other news… In an apparent about face, @beautifl1s has changed her position on the whole “pants on the ground” issue. Larry Platt, I salute you! http://content.usatoday.com/communities/idolchatter/post/2010/01/general-larry-platt-a-closer-look/1
While we are on the subject:
girl11eleven:
I have been unusually quiet from Twitter the past couple weeks. Some of it is because when the chips are down, I tend to resort inward and get anti-social and kick my own ass until I am over it, but also because a lot of aspects of Twitter just haven’t been much fun lately.
I will precurse this little rant by saying, I know the key to enjoying your twitter stream is to unfollow...
