1. I know all the words to Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby and can sing them at any place/time. This comes in handy while walking the lanes At Home Depot and the kids need to be entertained and hubby needs to be embarrassed. 2. I hate when people say, “My bad”. 3. Porter brought me a glass of water the other night after supper, “for after you throw up”. I hope they aren’t scarred for life. 4. There is a Facebook page for things for sale in our area, the drama on there is both exhausting and addicting at the […]
1. I’ve written this type of post 51 times. Wow. I think I’ll go back and read them. Will they be funny? Stupid? Do I still feel the same way about things? I’ll keep you posted. 2. I had a dream about a boyfriend from the 5th grade the other day. That’s right. 5th grade boyfriend. His name is Derek. If he ever reads this, he will think I’m crazy. People. I had a dream about us as 5th graders! Weird pregnancy hormones. If my husband reads this he will tease me….And for that reason, I won’t tell you the […]
1. I hate selling a house. 2. I love shopping for houses. If only we could buy any one we wanted…. 3. I threw up in the Kopp’s Custard Shop bathroom the other day. It was a disgusting place to throw up. 4. My damn dog jumps on the counter and eats food off of plates left on the counter. The other day she ate an entire bbq pork sandwich from an amazing bbq restaurant in Milwaukee. Tom was so angry she ate the last sandwich! 5. I love Butterfingers right now. 6. Have I ever mentioned I hate grocery […]
1. I sold this chair. I know I said I would never ever sell it, but, we have no room. And it was screaming to be photographed with cute little kids in funky hats and pretty bows sitting on it. 2. We went on a beach vacation this past week. It’s been in the works for 2 years. We had the most amazing time. I will share pictures soon. 3. Our house is still for sale. Buy it. 4. I’m starting a new series called, “What they don’t tell you.” All about what people fail to mention before…getting married/being pregnant/having […]
1. I’ve thrown up in many places over my four pregnancies. I threw up through all 9 months of the other three pregnancies, even while delivering! I thought it would be fun to relive some of the best and worst places to throw up….that’s fun, right?! A. If you can avoid throwing up in a gas station do so at all costs. B. Public bathrooms with more than one stall are just as bad. It’s not fun. And it’s a little embarrassing. And they are gross. C. The side of the road in the grass behind the vehicle is nice […]
1. I eat a Zone Bar and drink water every single morning. 2. On Friday, Jack, who is 4, came home from school and “calmed” my hair (combed) and massaged my feet and rubbed my back. Best day at the spa ever! 3. He also came downstairs this morning in a white button down shirt and asked if he looked handsome. 4. I am going to tell you a secret. Please don’t tell. I hired a painter to finish the trim in our house. He painted the trim in three bedrooms and then he painted the walls in the boys’ […]
1. I love brussel sprouts. 2. I hate toilet paper commercials. Ridiculous. 3. I love my BFF for keeping me sane. 4. I recently realized how totally awesome it is to be a mother. This feeling came when my children and I were both learning a new skill. The excitement and pride I feel for my kids learning something at 6, 4 and 2 far outweighs the excitement and pride I feel for myself learning at 35. That’s right, I’m 35. And learning something new. But, honestly, I don’t care. I am so utterly amazed and proud of my kids […]
1. I didn’t buy that gray couch. Instead, I moved the big wingback in the room and we bought a rug. Oddly, Tom and I both agreed on the rug. BOTH of us! 2. Gus clocked me in the lip with his head, by accident, and I used a major profanity and cried. I have a huge fat lip. I probably should have gotten stitches, okay, a stitch, but, I was in a hurry to go and get some primer for a vanity that I need to finish….priorities people. 3. I think How I Met Your Mother is one of […]
1. Every time I write a post I lose a Google Friend Reader….I can only assume it’s because you are all changing over to following through some sort of reader, by clicking on that orange rainbow thingy….because Google Friend Connect will be gone shortly…..you are switching aren’t you? 2. Gus and Tom have been sick for several days again. I always feel so helpless when someone is sick…. 3. The bathroom floor has held up so far. It’s not slippery and the water just pools up and wipes up easily. 4. I moved our dining room to our office/kitchen/play area […]
1. My kids think Justin Bieber’s name is Justin Beaver. 2. They call lunchables, munchtables or lunchtables. 3. When I am yelling at the boys to hurry up or don’t do that or don’t climb there, or whatever…..Gus says, “You nice Mommy.” 4. Sometimes I don’t feel like I’m old enough or mature enough to be married, have kids, a business…..maybe it’s because I use words like, totally and awesome, and rad…..I don’t use rad…..at least I don’t think I do?! 5. Or that I can handle myself in confrontation. I am terrible at arguing. I don’t have the ability […]
