DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 2

[eeyore45]

Not only am I the "mean mom" I also get to hang "mean substitute" around my neck!!

Being a mean mom to me means, I am consistent, (and fair does NOT mean equal!!) I am "the mom" NOT "the friend"... I set boundaries... and follow thru on "threats"... or "there are consequences to your behaviour"

And sometimes like UMA said, you do have to throw some "guilt" to remind them of the things you do provide to give them fun!! Surely you feed and clothe them, you take them places, provide transportation - and ice cream and water guns?!!! and definately, when you are feeling "Hurt" throw those tears in there - they need to learn how to treat a woman, with how to treat their mom!!

Havent you heard? The way a good woman looks at "marriage material" is "how does he treat his mom?" and if he treats his mom with love, respect and kindness.. then it makes him "marriage material"...

so view this as a "LESSON" for them boys!!

Yeah Shannon! I am so glad everything went so well for you. I had a hot dentist a few yrs ago...made those visits a little more bearable

You know I thought I had this HOT poditrist one time- turns out he was my husband's neice's husband- yipes!

I married the baby of 5 boys, some of my BIL's are the same age as my parents and my husband has cousins, neices and nephews that are my age.

Congratulations for everyone who lost this week or found inspirtation to pick yourself up and start again. Together we can do this.

Last night- well, at 3am when I get my lunch break, I passed on the cheeseburger and went for the subway veggie salad.

 

[eeyore45]

WOOOHOOTY Sparkie

Good for you for staying true to you!! You take that as a major accomplishment!! and hang on, there are going to be rough moments ahead, but be prepared - Plan to succeed!

I'm trying to figure out how I can manage to do that Indy Scrapbook weekend in June, I really think I'm going to go for it!! But should I go alone, or make dh and dd come with - and then make them visit his mom, and sisters... and we'll stay at the hotel, so they wont feel... put out...

 

[denecarter]

When DD tried to pull the "you're mean", I'd pull out every story of child abuse that was currently on the news.

"No... if I were mean, I'd put cigarettes out on your arm. If I were mean, I'd chain you up for being bad and I wouldn't give you any food. If I were mean, I'd lock you into the car and drive it into the lake."

Graphic... yes... but she got the point pretty quickly.

Of course, now when my students say I'm mean, I just smile evily and say "yes... yes, I am... it gives me great pleasure"

 

[S.Poppins]

Yea!!! Sandy is no longer naked! Green is your color!

Music and Lyrics was great! And all of you 80's fans will love it!!!!

Spoppins- It means Laugh my "bum" off... LMAO Hahahaha!

OOHHH! I thought that was an I not an L. Hey, wait a minute bum doesn't start with an A.

GOOD MORNING, PEEPS!!!

OK, Shannon...now that you've had it done......here's my long, boring wisdom tooth story.......

It was the spring of 1993 and I was pregnant. One of my impacted but partially erupted wisdom teeth became abcessed. After being up all night with pain that rivaled labor pain, I went to the oral surgeon. I refused the x-ray and he put me on antibiotics.

[/B]

Yep, yours and Sandy's sound similar to mine. Pregnant, scalpel, knee in chest, felt it - horrible!!!! But no dry socket and we headed to Nashville the next day. I was drugged most of the trip.

Yep I fall into the out to eat bunch, celebrated my loss by eating way to much and now I feel awful...but th positive is normally I would eat all weekend, last night I had a cheat meal...baby steps right?

I am off to spend a day with rowdy boys and my attitude is very poor lately...last night my youngest told me I was no fun at all, which hurt my feelings, cause I try to do everything they ever want. DH only added to it and egged him on, DH was just joking but sometimes alot of truth is said in jest...so now I feel awful, I sick and my feelings are hurt AND I get the added pleasure of running them all over town, but I 'll make sure they dont have any fun at all just wanna go back to bed and ust into tears, and this is SO not me I DO NOT CRY!!! Time to go put on my cabbie driver hat, so rry to vent this morning, thanks for listening, I'll be out til around 3 then I will be at home the rest of the day, cause I am no fun and I have no life

Harley, you are one of the funniest people I know!!! That is okay my DD11 thinks the same about me. I am leaving right now to take her to find a costume for a birthday party (of course I found this out late last night). We had a huge fight this morning over this darn costume, because I kept making suggestions that she wear one of my nice dresses and be a movie star. And do you know what she said????? This the exchange:

DD - "That does not look like something an 11 year old girl would wear - it has shoulder pads! " (the dress is 10 years old...but still an nice simple black dress that no longer fits me. I was smokin' when I wore it last!!)


Me - "Oh, well you didn't tell me you wanted to go dressed as an 11 year old girl! (said with flair and sarcasm galore) Your problem is solved - go get jeans and a t-shirt."

DD - "That is not what I meant!" (eye-rolling) "But I don't want to dress like a mom!"

Me - "Well than put on the black dress, a fur coat, wig and sunglasses and go as a movie star!"

DD- "There are no movies stars still alive that would wear that dress!"

I am really getting frustrated at this point! Now at this time she is wearing this horrible red baby doll, spaghetti strap, empire waist, too short dress, that she bought when she was out of town. Made for tall, skinny person. Not short and not so skinny.

Me - "So are you going to wear that lingerie dress that you have on now!"

DD - "No, we are suppose to dress like a princess or something!"

Me - "Oh, why didn't you say so, let me go get my ballroom, Marie
Antoinette dress out right now!" (again rather sarcastically - I have not even had a cup of coffee yet!)

DD - Bursts into tears because I am mean and life is hard, blah, blah, blah

Anyway, decided if she wanted to spend her 20 dollars on costume I would take her. Pray for me!

 

[the Fidge]

Good luck Stacey, it seems you too fit into the MEanie Mom category, come on up and join us for some fresh hemlock!

So glad some of us get paid to be extra mean like teachers too!!!

I just got back from Wally world with the 2 in tow, DH ius miserable as this mean wife spent all his money paying BILLS MEAN WIFE I am!

DS was miserable as I did not let him but tons of toys ...MEANIE again!!!

I think they should both clean the litter box out to match their poopy attidudes!!!

Hmm I think I like that idea.............act poopy get poopy!

 

[harleygirl]

HEy there you silly pay them no mind please rember if these boys had their own way they would in the underrooos from age 3 still and that does include my DH too!!! Imagine you make them clean their stinky little bodies so not all the world gets to smell the glory that you get a wiff of everytime you do their laundry! Meanie!!! Plase don't tell me you make them brush their teeth and how the world would be a better place of the stench of DRAGON BREATH!! That also includes my DH!!

Plae whatever you do don't tell me you expect them to FLUSH A TOILET??? FRIGHTENING you mean the world does not need to take sight and smell of the amazing wonders their wee bodies make!! MEANIE!!!

Ok so that being said do tell you also plan trips, make their favorite foods, delight in the ir brithday's and work to make all these little extra's happen YOU ARE MEAN!!

I am too can you imagine I am going to make DS and DH go to WDW for their birthday's?? JUST MEAN and CRUEL I am!!!

Please do not listen to the dribble that falls out of their mouths, DH here is just DIM might I jsut that?? CLue #1, he asked for a date on a Saturday afternoon, take a ride on his motorcyle and meet my BIG BROTHER< guess what that man was wearing?? TUBE SOCKS with the color bands on them up to his kness in sneakers and soome ratty cut off denim shorts from 1970 something!!!! OMG I pulled him into my apartment for fear somone saw this lovely outfit , draggged himt o the mall and got some presentable clothes! Talk about DIm the man is still furious I threw out those socks and shorts, so I say take it from where it comes!!!!

Ok please remove the frightening image from your head now!

They get in their moods to see how far they can push, its just that, nothing more! DH and DS do it reguarly and I cannot listen to those twos rember they delight in their own smells and body functions sounds...nuff said right??

SO next time they are having a fart fest.. join in!! Then you will be the Mom of the day! ICK!

I celebrated my meaness by taking them to theri basketball game, taking them to buy a birthday present for a friend and them taking htem to a bowling birthday party, where I joined in and KICKED BUTT!!! strikes left nd right, was rocking I tell you...took all my anger and frustration out on that bowling ball...

Not only am I the "mean mom" I also get to hang "mean substitute" around my neck!!

Being a mean mom to me means, I am consistent, (and fair does NOT mean equal!!) I am "the mom" NOT "the friend"... I set boundaries... and follow thru on "threats"... or "there are consequences to your behaviour"

so view this as a "LESSON" for them boys!!

I do pull the "Marriage Material" thing and the guilt trip thing out every once in a while. For the most part htey arereally good boys, they just fail to see that I get tired..I know Wonder woman without her cape, just doesnt seem natural that mom gets tired...thats a question I hope to answer whenever I get to see a dr. why am I so tired? I feel so old now, like I just cant keep up and myu best just isnt good enuff...but when I feel like this I try to put myself in someone elses shoes, who has it worse then me, at least I have healthy children who can joke around and give me a hard time, and who are active and involved...try to find that silver lining...ya know

thanks for letting me vent I am off to rotate the laundry and find all my tax junk

Favorite Romantic Movie Peep Poll : I've decided its a long weekend and throw some interest in the thread!! So chime in folks!!

 

[eeyore45]

Now, you see, after 30 years dh is getting really romantic - First he shovels the driveway (albeit not nekkid!! ) He fills my van with gasoline, and he bought me DISNEY CROCS and it didnt stop there!! He got me the pink fuschia ones TWO pairs!!! and our van was 2nd hand, it didnt come with that cute fob that unlocks the door... so he bought one for me online, and then took the car to have it work!!

So I must come up with something!! Well, I did!! I told him I was going to run the 1/2 marathon I bought some running shoes, running equipment for the

Only he's on to me, he just realized the only reason I'm becoming a runner (HE LOVES running!!) is to get a trip to WDW... "well YEAH" the things I wont do to get to Disney....

 

[the Fidge]

I hear ya Harley 100% you see I too asked the doctor why I was so tired. After learning I had developed Lupus they told me that it was a natural side affect of the illness.

How it was explained to me that the energy of a toddler exceeds that of a long distance maraton runner. SO by being the individual trying to keep up with that toddler you would naturally be tired!!! They did a test with toddlers and Olympic athletes the toddler was still going while the athlete wsa laid out napping!

Woondering why you could be feeling a bit slugish?? Mothers are not afforded such luxuries our time will come though....when we send our garndchildren home to their parents hopped up on choclate and candy and let them stay awake for near 24 hours! Now that will be fun!! I shall then rest well!

[harleygirl]

my boys have been arguing and fighing and not acting right...punishement, Laundry....including my underwear... you should see how red their little faces were...(was actually an accident and I am really embarrassed, cuz usually I hide my underthings...but whoops, it sure was funny

 

[the Fidge]

Congrats on their just rewards!!!! DS almost fell over when by accident one of my bras got caught up in his laundry, the nerve me expecting him to put his clothes away! He could get hurt or something, tripping over the filth in his room!!!

FAVORITE ROMANTIC MOVIE - since I love romantice movies this is a tough one! All time fave - Gone With the Wind. Followed closely be Pride and Prejudice (both the long A & E version and the new) and Sense and Sensibilities.

Honorable mentions:

Return to Me - funny and romantic

Pretty Woman

You've Got Mail

Sleepless in Seattle

Any Doris Day

I could go on and on! I love romance comedies!

DD ended up doing pretty much what I recommended to start with - we found a dress at the church and bought a tiara. When we arrived at the costume store and it dawned on her that I was serious about her spending her money, she decided that maybe she could make do with what we had at home!! Shocking!

Going to eat - I will be good - I am going to get Grilled tuna!

 

[lexmelinda]

HEY, EVERYBODY!!! Have had a very lazy afternoon here as it has been snowing ALL DAY!!! Light snow....just a coupla inches....but beautiful. Went out to get steaks as it is DH birthday today. Gonna have another meat/potato feast just like on Wednesday night.

SANDY.....I thought I quoted you but wanted to say what a sweet husband you have. He's been well trained, I can see!
FAVORITE ROMANTIC MOVIES....I must agree with all of Stacey's choices and would like to add maybe Jane Eyre, City of Angels, Dr. Zhivago, Titanic, Shakespeare in Love, When Harry Met Sally & Jerry McGuire.

Anyway, decided if she wanted to spend her 20 dollars on costume I would take her. Pray for me!

That's when you find out what's REALLY important....when you put them to spending their own money! I, too, have been expected to pull a costume out of my "ear" on a moments notice on several occasions and it always gets heated! Glad everything worked out.

For the most part htey arereally good boys, they just fail to see that I get tired..I know Wonder woman without her cape, just doesnt seem natural that mom gets tired...thats a question I hope to answer whenever I get to see a dr. why am I so tired?

Let's see full time job, sports, activities, birthday parties, cooking, cleaning, running a 5K on the weekends???? Why would you be TIRED?? Glad the boys are getting their just rewards even if it was in the form of your underwear!!! You know saying how disappointed you are followed by the silent treatment always works for me.

Mothers are not afforded such luxuries our time will come though....when we send our garndchildren home to their parents hopped up on choclate and candy and let them stay awake for near 24 hours! Now that will be fun!! I shall then rest well!

That's the only thing that keeps me going some days! Thanks, Fidge!
