Dirty Clothes Cause Me Pain

I have a huge pet peeve. Whenever anyone in my house takes a shower, they feel the need to leave their clothes on the floor in the bathroom. Now, who do you think is the one who has to pick-up the clothes on the floor; you guessed it, ME! Now this is not even the most irritating part; the clothes always end up behind the door. The really irritating part about this is that when I go into the bathroom, the door opens then bounces back and the doorknob smashes into my side. Oh, I just want to scream and throw things. How difficult can it be to pick up your clothes and throw them downstairs. Obviously an impossible task. I am sure this is somehow my fault.

Moral of the story: Every person who does not do laundry is allowed only 2 outfits.

Toothpaste

I just walked into my daughters room to find toothpaste all down the arm of her shirt and even in the armpit. Then I begin to wonder, how does this happen? As I enter the bathroom I find the tube of toothpaste exploding all over the entier tube. Then I find toothpaste all over the sink, on the cabinets, on the floor, and on the bottom of the roll of toiletpaper (which was not on the roll because my son is incapable of this task). Aparently it had escaped me how much fun it could be to play with toothpaste. She just went to town while I was in cleaning the kitchen and starting dinner; how nice!

Moral of the story: Toothpaste can be very fun to play with!

Working Saturday

As a stay-at-home mom, I look very forward to the weekends because it is really nice to have some help and have someone adult conversation. A lot of times we do something as a family on Saturday, however, today my husband has to work at his mom's putting in a floor. It is his mom and of course he really has no choice, but that makes today like any other day for me. Then tomorrow I have a stupid shower to go to, so there goes half of Sunday. We hardly get to spend any time together. Who's stupid idea was it to only make the weekend 2 days. It was clearly not a woman!

Moral of the Story: Women are smarter then men!

My Loving Husband

Why am I sitting by myself on a thursday night, feeding the kids dinner, giving them a bath and putting them to bed, alone.

I'm not really sure, you see when I talked to my husband a 5:00 he said that he was on his way home.

A normal wife would probably be worried....me...

I know where he is, he's at the bar down the street, and he lied to me.

I'm not really sure if he means it when he says he's on his way home and gets distracted, or he just says it so I won't yell at him right at that moment.

I'm sure it's just to put off the yelling....But it sure makes me feel like a pile of garbage.

Update: by the time he got home I was so tired that I didn't want to deal and went to bed.
Tonight should be interesting.

Sticking Poop

Last night my husband and I are sitting on the couch when Mia sits between us. We are all chatting having a nice time when I smell something foul. I ask her if she has pooped in her pants to which she, of course, replies no. Then her daddy asks and says don't you lie to me to which she says "no daddy its still in my butt". WHAT?!?! I'm sorry, did you really just say that. Oh yes she did. And it was.

Moral of the story: Apparently sometimes poop can stick!

New Tricks

I think it is the most wonderful thing when my kids figure out new tricks. For example, Joey has found she can be helpful by throwing things away. While this can be very helpful for actual trash, it can also go the other direction. Today I found 2 sippy cups, a toy, and my cell phone all in the trash. Luckily I was looking for my phone and called it and figured out it was ringing in the trash can. I love how they look and how excited they get when they can do new tricks, but this was not all great.

Moral of the story: New tricks can backfire!

Stay and Play

I just got back from my first attempt at brining the kids to stay and play at the Parents as teachers building.

the good....The kids had fun.

the bad.....I was bored out of my mind.

the ugly....the other mothers were really rude, I got pissed and left early.

Moral of the story: Don't start new things on the day you start your period!
