Funny ‘Mom’ story

I can identify with this unfortunately!!!

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room.

While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him if he needed to go, and he said “No”.

I kept thinking “Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don’t have any clean clothes with me.” Then I said, “Danny, are you SURE you didn’t have an accident?” “No,” he replied.

I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. So, I asked one more time, “Danny, did you have an accident?”

This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled “SEE MOM, IT’S JUST FARTS!!”
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An older couple made me feel better, thanking me for the best laugh they’d ever had!

What a beautiful Saturday!

Today was one of the first Saturdays that the sun has shined all day in a long time.  I thought it would be a perfect day to take my children to the park for a picnic.  They had a blast.  I packed their favorite sandwiches, chips, pickles and juice for them and then threw in some watermelon just for good measure.  The kids played so hard and had a blast.

We haven’t had so much fun in a long time.  I even got on the playground equipment with them.  There was an old mill there that they used to grind corn into cornmeal and the kids were fascinated by it.  I hope we have another great weather day on the weekend soon because there are a lot of parks that aren’t that far from us to explore.

Spicy Town

My younger cousin sent me an email, inviting me to “meet her online” in Spicy Town. Spicy Town is a fictitious town in an online video game produced by the company that sells Slim Jim spicy snacks. So I went to the online game site to meet my cousin there. I had to create an avatar to use to play the game. It was kind of fun, creating the avatar. The avatar was called my “spicy side.” Setting up my “spicy side” was quick, easy, and amusing. I had to take a picture of myself and upload it to their site, then their program helped center my facial features around their pre-drawn outline of facial features, then they make a funny little creature with horns and funky hair, and then they turned me loose into the video game.

During the game I was supposed to go around collecting Slim Jim’s that I found lying around on the ground. I only found three, but I only played for a few minutes, trying to find my cousin. There were other people’s avatars in the game walking around too. Some seemed to be fighting with each other (I don’t know why, maybe one insulted the other, those spicy sides are unpredictable and uncontrollable!) some were just walking around ranting and raving. The game has chat functions and buddy lists, but I didn’t stay on it long enough to check those out, had to many other things that were demanding my attention at that time.

If you want to play the game yourself, go to spicyside.com!

Now this judge just might have the answer

I don’t know about you but I hate to be driving down the road, have to stop at a light or stop sign and hear someone elses extremely loud music booming so loud you can’t even hear your own radio.

I really hate to admit it but I can’t remember who the judge is or even what state or city he is doing this but what this judge noticed was that there were a number of repeat offenders showing up in his court room charged with noise violations. Most of them were kids who’s parents simply paid their fine and off they went, only to return again at a later date, charged with the same thing yet again.

After giving it a little thought, he decided to sentence the repeat offenders to one hour of listening to different types of loud music from Barney singing ‘I love you, you love me’ to Barry Manilow singing ‘I can’t smile without you.’ After the hour was over, he would give them a little survey and if there happened to be a song in his collection he played that kept showing up as one that happened to be liked, it was removed and something else was added in it’s place.

He wants to make sure that most of the music is not something the kids like so they can finally learn what it’s like to have to listen to music they don’t want to listen to. The towns people have reported that it is working because there is much less noise all over the city. I think they need to start doing this everywhere.

Nintendo DS system

Two of my kids have a Nintendo DS system. They absolutely loved that darn thing and very rarely puts it down when they’re home. Well I found this really cool R4 DS at gameboy.com. Don’t know what that is? Well it allows you to listen to all your music and MP3s on your Nintendo DS system. I think that’s great. It’s also a cheat device for the games. The kids are going to love that.

But you know what’s even better? It also allows you to watch movies on your Nintendo DS. But there’s still something even better than all of that believe it or not. The R4 DS is only $19 and has free shipping too. I thought it was a mistake but that’s what you can get it for. Well I have ordered 4 of them, just in case I learn of another kid with a Nintendo DS. They’ll think I got them a great gift, guaranteed.

Happy Birthday Girlfriend

Today is my best friend in the worlds birthday.  We have been best friends since 4th grade.  That’s a long time.  She’s not only one of the most caring people I know, but also a great mother.  She has two daughters and the youngest was born just 4 weeks after my youngest.  The coolest part of that is her daughter and my son are best friends too.  Isn’t that just the sweetest thing?  I think so.

I was trying to decide what to get her for her birthday and decided the best thing I can do is to get her a Visa gift card.  That way, she can spend it how ever she wants.  She can go have her hair done, buy some new clothes for herself or take her girls out on the town and enjoy the day together if she wants.  I got her a nice card and mailed it so that she will get it this weekend and hopefully have a great weekend.  She already had some plans for today so that’s why I waited.

HERE’S TO YOU GIRLFRIEND!!!!!

First births and now deaths

For weeks we were hearing about all the babies being born to famous people and now it’s deaths.  Two famous men died last week one of which was Bernie Mac who entertained us all with his stand up comedy, his TV show and the movies he made.  The other was famous for his deep smooth voice, Isaac Hayes.  Neither of them were old by today’s standards either.

What a tremendous loss to the entertainment industry and the world.  Our loss is nothing compared to the loss their families and loved ones will feel.  God bless them and keep them by his side through their time of loss and grief.
