Nudge The Nest & Pray They Fly

Bad Mommy/Sadie Sings

by

The girls love to take my iPhone into their bedroom for Dance Parties and for this very reason I have downloaded two albums of KidzBop songs from iTunes. But apparently, on more than one occasion, they have chosen to listen to my work out mix instead.
While changing Sadie’s diaper tonight and preparing to tuck the chunky monkey into bed… she sang:
When I collapsed in laughter on her bedroom floor she yelled, “DOP WAPPIN’ AT ME! EE NAH PUNNY!”
Oh, I beg to differ.
If me and my chicks make you LOL, please take LITERALLY 5 seconds and vote for me as one of Circle of Moms Top 25 Funniest Moms!
(And to save some of you an e-mail that was The Black-Eyed Peas “My Humps.” And yes, I realize this speaks volumes about my parenting skillz.)

Just Chillin’

by

Sadie can open the refrigerator now. It is super annoying.
I am my mother. “Close the door! Are you trying to cool the whole flippin’ HOUSE?”
Apparently, Sadie was put off by my constant nagging/mothering and decided to send me a little message– Dexter-Style. I opened the fridge last night and had a mini-heart attack when I saw this.
Touche, Sadie. Touche.

(Please ignore the spilled and dried Diet Caffeine Free Dr Pepper hanging out in the corner. I’ll clean it up eventually.)
Thanks to everyone who is voting for me on Circle of Moms Top 25 Funniest Moms! I’m in the top 7 but, Y’ALL these people are FOR REAL. Moms are climbing over each other’s heads and acting like it’s 1984 and there is only one Cabbage Patch Kid doll left. Go VOTE! It’s only ONE click- you don’t even have to enter your email address! You can vote once a day until March 28th! (If you post the link as your FB status I’ll give you my first born child… or the second. The third, as established above, is pretty scary and not housebroken yet, so I’ll keep her for now. But you can have your pick of the other two.)

Emma’s Antics: Shaving Accident

by

Emma: Momma, I hut my hand in da baffroom.

Me: You did? Lemme see…

Me: Yeah, you did. What happened?

Emma: *blank stare*
I had a motherly premonition and Hub’s razor sitting on the bathroom counter flashed in my mind.
Me: EMMA… were you playing with Daddy’s razor?
Emma: *eyes get wider and she frowned*
My mom: What in the world were you shaving, honey?
Emma: Ummmm… my hand.
Whaaaaaaaat? I got nuthin’. No idea why.
No. Idea.
(Just to save you an e-mail, we had a very serious and lengthy discussion about why we don’t shave our hands. Or play with razors. I was Scary Mommy.)

Spring Break & What NOT To Do At The Doctor’s Office

by

I totally can’t believe that Spring Break is ovah! It seems like yesterday it was February and I was looking at the calendar for March while breathing into a brown paper bag, trying to figure out how I was going to fit everything in. I didn’t think there was any way possible that I would be able to meet all of my deadlines, pack my family up and send them in 5 different directions and remain sane. But I did it.
It’s been hectic and I’ve totally neglected my bliggedy-blog. But now I’m back. Mostly. I still have some writing deadlines to meet and a few road trips to make but I can see April peeking around the corner and I know I’ll make it.
If you wouldn’t mind, I would LOVE YOUR VOTE over on Circle of Moms for Top 25 Funniest Moms, the competition is fierce! You can vote once a day. Just click on the link then click on VOTE. Easy peasy, no offering up your first born child, no entering your email address and blood type… just one little click. Thanks for that Boo. I feel better already.
ALSO, since you went to all that trouble for me, here is the link to last week’s (I think, it’s all a blur) column… crap. Now I don’t even remember what it was about… lemme see… OH!! You are gonna love this! This is the one where I get all my feelings out about waiting room etiquette at the doctor’s office— there was an unidentified rash, lots of touching and my chirrens. ‘Nuff said. Go read it, THEN come back and tell me this-
What would you have said to that Momma?
