Land Of Sensible Enjoyable Reality-based Sweethearts.-AKA The "LOSERS" come on in!

[Mkrop]

ahhh DS10 just had a meltdown bc his class might lose the ice cream party to the other 4th grade class over Boxtops. They supposedly started this contest a week ago, he tells me about last night at 8pm and doesnt know when the deadline is.

Luckily I save them anyway to send in here and there I keep a baggie and if I see one I rip it off and throw it in. So last night while watching AI DS10 and I start cutting them. He has about 45 of them. Good deal or so I thought.

This morning he starts crying (I mean he is upset)that no one else except one little boy has brought them in and they are so going to lose. So I run around this morning like a crazy woman trying to rip off more.

Just how I wanted to start my morning.

Morning LOSERS!!

Well TODAY is the day. My 20 week sonogram!!! Will it be a boy or a girl? Unfortunately I have the last appointment with sono lady of the day at 4 so we have to wait all day.

It's also my friend's 30th birthday (young-uns, I swear) so I need to go get a card and see if I can find something suitable to make her wear to lunch and dinner today, I passed on the 30th birthday tiara I had given to me. I also get to check out her new man at dinner tonight. It's a full day, for me anyway.

Let us know, then we can start the baby shower For #1 I had my sonogram on my birthday - what a present!!! We didn't find out what we were having with either one though - much to everyone else dismay! I was introduced to everyone from that point on as "and this is my pain in the *ss daughter/daughter-in-law who won't find out what my grandchild is" We were decorating neutral - original pooh bear (not the bright colored one) - so it fit with either and I had 2 take home outfits - 1 cream colored and 1 pink.

The girl slept pretty well last night. This morning, however, it was world war three to get her to take her medication...grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!


With the girl, we couldn't tell what she was...she kept her legs modestly crossed for the sono.

The boy, not so much. The ultrasound tech offered my husband a wallet sized photo of the boy's parts...he had his legs splayed open and his hips thrust forward.

To Be 6 Again...

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday.

'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking in the mirror.

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day!

He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down

He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well dear, what was it like being six again??'

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. 'I meant my dress size, you idiot!'

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he's gonna get it wrong.

Tell me this doesn't sound really bad.
I got a message last night from #1DS's school (actually a recorded message from the school nurse). It said that his school is in the middle of a flu outbreak/epidimic something like that (I deleted the message) and wanted to remind parents of the schools rules of being out sick, coming back blah blah blah. They must stay out of school #1- until fever is gone back to normal for 24hrs. #2- Vomiting or diarreha has stopped for 24hrs. #3 child has been on antibiotics for 24 hrs.
Tell me I not paranoid and want to disinfect my DS before he comes in contact with me or the 2 other kids or just keep him home for the next week or so.
Oh yeah #1DS tells me that one of the boys in his class went to the nurse, came back to class and then said that the nurse said he had to go home.
Oh almost forgot #1DS also said this morning that his stomach hurt so now I'm waiting for that call from the school telling me to pick him up.



So, how's everyone else's day going

Morning.

I just typed two paragraphs and none of it made sense, so I'll just say hi. I am so tired I want to cry.

poor kid...

I always send in what I consider to be a "bunch" of the boxtops for an ice cream party, too. There is always some winner mom in another class that has 50 relatives collecting them for her. you can't win on this one. Do what I did. Last year, DS8 wanted the party REALLY bad. Of course they didn't win. So a little later in the year, I (don't lose me here, this is cheating, so I can't be a winner mom...) brought in big tubs of ice cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, whipped cream and cherries...They got their ice cream party because they worked just as hard as the other class, they just didn't have a lot of help..

Aw, 3P, go to bed now!!

So, how's everyone else's day going

Spray this on him before he comes into the house..

After reading back a little more, I'm going to go with "apparently not."

Aw, 3P, go to bed now!!

I'm wide awake, and my kids are dissassembling my furniture and making soup out of poptarts and chocolate milk. I can only imagine what they would do if I were sleeping. I think I just heard someone say, "There's poop falling out."

ETA: I heard correctly, and there was indeed poop falling out... right out of a diaper.

Nasty soup and nasty poop. A day in the life of an exhausted mommy!!

Afternoon Losers.

We woke up this morning to temps in the 20s. If you are keeping track, it was 77 here on Monday, 65 and thunderstorms yesterday, freezing and snow flurries today.

Yes, I said snow flurries. As soon as they started falling, the boys lost their collective minds. Normally, if a dozen flakes of snow fall in a row, everything in Georgia shuts down. However, since they pulled the trigger too early last time (We were the only county in Georgia that closed school one day last month), they did NOT close school today. All of the counties around us (who didn't close last time) ARE closed.

DS6 told me that this is the WORST SNOW DAY EVER!

It's not like there is much snow on the ground. Just enough to confuse the spring plants that were starting to do their thing:

But, trust me, if they hadn't been stupid about closing too soon before, schools around here would be closed today. Oh, well.

Did the poop become finger paint? If not, then I've got you beat.

I decided to do a therapy post about my morning.

Did the poop become finger paint? If not, then I've got you beat.

Today, I caught it in time. My youngest has had more than one episode of poop painting and eating (yes, eating ). The month that she figured out how to undress herself, she made it her mission to wake up before anyone else in the morning, get naked, and poop so she could play in it. It happened repeatedly.

The last time it happened, I was really sick and my husband discovered her holding a hunk and chewing on it. Watching him gag and barf might have clued her in that she was doing something wrong.
