Bedtime Booty

September 27th, 2016

I just realized that the title of this entry used to mean something TOTALLY different than where I'm headed today.

In my 20's...it was a lot of fun.

In my 30's...it mostly spoke to loaded diapers on small, sticky bottoms.

Now, in my 40's, I'm referring to the act of our eldest child and his younger brother stuffing their pajama bottoms with a large bath towel. Most likely the one they used after showering, 45 minutes later than they were supposed to. Shower. Not stuff their pj's. There really is no appropriate time frame for that. Ever.

Anyway, once I no longer heard the sound of water running, I made my way upstairs to reiterate the importance of going to bed almost an hour ago, only to find aggressive Towel-Tush-Twerking.

Imagine Kim Kardashian's butt on a scrawny twelve year old boy who has somehow figured out how to....well, to quote, my side-by-side thrusting 9yr old, "Bounce that booty like a basketball."

This is why there are so many posters, sayings, t-shirts, key chains and coffee mugs addressing a mom's need for alcohol. Cuz you dads...don't seem to see it. Not sure what that universal sick law is, but they save that shit for us.

P.S.
I cannot confirm or deny as to whether the towel used was one you may have used the next day after your shower.

12 and 3/4

September 22, 2016 Dear Todd, I am writing to tell you that we have a teenager. Rest assurred that in the midst of my own mental deteriation I have not forgotten his birthday. I know that technically, we have another 2 months until his 13th trip around the sun has come to completion...but he is already showing signs. So I have decided to begin documentation. I think it's gonna be a good time, if he can just keep himself alive. And to that effect, I call upon the Gods of Brains with this plea. Oh Mighty Gods Of Wisdom that is Teen, Please put down your iPhone 7's, And all that comes in form of screen. Please look upon those Whom, like a sponge, absorb our changing world But without really thinking, try to process With emotions that come unfurled Let him always choose To look both ways Focus on what he loves And get straight A's? All right, the grades would be An extra perk But, please just let him Understand hard work And let him choose wisely Whe...

Doggy Doggy, Where's Your Bonehead?

September 28th, 2016 Our dog Petey:  He's sitting in the kennel, with me. Why? Why is he in here with me? Why are we both not out in the great big world? Whether that be our living room, backyard, neighborhood, or dog park. Why are we both in this kennel? We can't even play in here. We can't even sleep comfortably.  And everybody is home.  It's not like you all went out and I climbed in here to take a nap. And he lured me in with a treat. What's his excuse? Why is he in here? WHY?!? What we hear: BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! Woof! Awwoooof! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK! Me: (upon finding the source of barking and giggling while opening the locked kennel) What the?!? WHY?!?! A: (Laughing still) I don't know.

It's Not About the Shoes

September 30th, 2016 Dear Todd, Let me preface by saying, "I know you were up super late and working hard so my reference to you sleeping while all the things mentioned below happened is not a 'dig.'" BUT While you were sleeping this am between the hrs of 6-9...all this happened.... Got up and put the trash and recycling on the curb. Got the kids up and we all went into the basement and did Yoga...even Petey who eventually had to be kenneled because he kept straddling us and licking our eyeballs. It was very meditative. The kids then ran upstairs and got dressed for school while I let Petey out and fed him while only burning some of the pancakes on the stove. Kids ate, soccer gear was thrown into a bag for later, and I threw on a sweater over my PJ's, swapped out jeans for my bottoms and backed out of the garage with child numero uno. We drove across town discussing the absurdity of the debate the other night and I promptly kicked him to the curb a...
