Off-topic randomness - a place to ramble?

hey, what's up. i just thought i would get off the CB for a few minutes and see what was up with the vmk board for a bit, so how's it going?

 

[JeanJoe]

Nothing much going on. Just trying to figure out how to get this duct tape off my kid. It seemed like a good idea...

I used to use gasoline until my kid started smoking. Sandpaper is the best thing for duct tape, Joe.

For those wanting a little pick-me-up, I found this thread on another board

Take a few minutes of your time and ENJOY! It is truly amazing and I got tears



We heart you Walt!

Well at least your kid keeps the diapers on! Mine doesn't keepthem on even under her clothes. *Sigh* Duct tape could be of use here also....

 

[JeanJoe]

So tonight, my little beast took it to the next level, probably in retaliation for the duct tape. The wrestling match was taken to a new venue -- the bath tub. Distracting me by trying to drown, she positioned herself perfectly to kick a small tidal wave out of the tub and onto me.

Churro, do you want to trade? Astryd already offered hers, but wouldn't take mine in exchange.

 

[JeanJoe]

So nice to feel wanted...

At daycare drop-off today, told DD3yo, "Daddy will be on-call tonight and won't be able to come home until tomorrow. I'll miss you very, very much."

Response: "OK, that's fine." <runs off to play>

Sigh.

Joe, I'd be willing to trade.... We have no kids to offer, but I could offer you three dogs and a cat! I think that's a fair trade.... but to be honest, I should probably give you all the facts to consider:

1. The cat thinks she is a dog and whatever dog it is, it is bigger than our dogs (golden retreivers). She also apparently has a hair deficiency because she will come up to you and attack your hair. And forget it if you just brushed your teeth, she wants to crawl in your mouth! Oh yeah and she needs to have her bowls full at all times (and crumbs do not count as food). You must also like coke and coffee because she does too.

2. Sandy-The homeless dog that showed up at the door of the house that says "SUCKER" written in invisible dog writing. He is very well behaved and will let you know if he needs to go out by slamming his nose into the door. He has done it so much that he has a crease on his nose. He also is afraid of tile floors, so you'd have to get rid of any tile floors. He will also let you know when it is dinner time by a series of barks and he will let you know when it has gotten dark also by a series of barks.

3. Buddy-He was going to be the best dog until some kids fired a bottle rocket at him. (I don't know if they did it on purpose or not, but it scared me too as I was home at the time and there was an explosion near the back door.) Buddy has a huge fear of fireworks...understandable. But he has also determined that fireworks sound like thunder and what comes with thunder? Rain. So now he is scared of all three. Scared actually doesn't even cover it...he has performed "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Starring Buddy" several times! The latest was removing all sheetrock and insulation from half a wall in the mud room.

4. Daisy-She is the oldest of the dogs, but probably the one with the least quirks since her biggest one is that she sometimes thinks she is a tiny little puppy.

Since I'm sure you'll agree it is a fair trade, let me know when and where you would like to make the handoff!

I'll trade you, Be. I've been up off and on since 1AM with DS6 and his allergies. He was cranky because his stuffy nose meant he couldn't suck his fingers at night (a habit we are trying like crazy to break) because that meant he couldn't breathe out of his mouth. So, he wound up climbing in our bed, and DH wound up giving up and moving to DS room. It was the most least fun night I've had in a long time After all that, I take him to school this morning (after dosing him with some allergy medicine and wrestling him down to give him the saline drops) and as I leave the classroom he starts telling his teacher I kept HIM up all night!! I give up....I'm running away to join the circus....

WARNING: The following rant contains situations that had actually occured at work, and writing about them on the Internet is considered hazardous to my continued employment with my company. If you, or someone you know work in Williamsburg by the East River, DO NOT READ!

You have been warned.

So my day started off at 5:00 AM ET, but I didn't get out of bed until 5:30, and I had to be out the door at 6:00. Fortunately, I had enough time to wash, dress, and check my messages. Unfortunately, I did not have time for my morning tea, so I bought myself a Dunkin Donuts medium hazelnut coffee. That was my first mistake.

During the day, I had my regular two cups of coffee out of the same Dunkin Donuts cup, which means I had a little bit more caffine than I'm used to. Match that with a co-worker who insisted that I work fast and don't speak, and you've got yourself a grumpy Genie.

Fortunately that mood lasted long enough until the job was finished, and we had some downtime which was used to transport reports and such between departments. I'm safe, right? Not exactly.

Remember my date from last week? Well, it turned out to be just two individuals from work who just wanted to meet for dinner and spend time with each other before she went to another state for some time. I thought it meant something for me. And apparently, so did other people, as they pushed me into asking her out for another date, which she turned down for in favor of meeting her other friends. I was hurt. That's when someone told me that just because I went out with a girl does not mean that it's love. The people who pushed me into asking her out again thought otherwise, and put that idea into my head, which caused me to fall flat on my face and kill myself out of embarrasment. She felt that I was upset at something, and I'm not sure if it was because of her rejection, but once I explained that someone was behind me asking her out, I think she understood.

And to put more disgrace upon my person, there's this woman at work who's like a walking sexual harrasment charge just waiting to happen. She literally controls weak-minded men like myself with her... er.. um, how shall I put this. her... needs? (I think you all know what I'm talking about.) That put me over the edge, and if my lady boss was present during this whole fiasco, she would have had both my arms and legs broken so the only way I could play the drums is to shove drumsticks up my nose.

Then I had an ice cream, bought some comic books, and then everything was all right again.

Are there any Princesses in the NYC area who are single, unattached, and within +/-3 years of my own age?

Be - I thought I would never write this, but my sister (who is nearly 21) acts just like your youngest daughter. She is driving me insane! I truly love my sister and we do get along, but she has her boyfriend over and I want to poke my eyes out as soon as possible! Oh, the baby talk! Oh, the kisses! Oh, the hugs! AH! I think I'm going to hurl! Much less the fact that I was attempting to take a nap and I could hear this conversation through my bedroom door: "Oh, you are the best!" "No, you are the best!" "I love you more!" "No, I love you more!" Needless to say, I lasted as long as possible before jumping out of bed and screaming that she needed to knock it off! ARGH! Can you tell I'm just a little annoyed? Usually, I'm a very nice person, but I cannot under any circumstance understand baby talk between two grown adults. It drives me mad! Tishke - I'm heading to the circus with you...leave room in the car for me!

WooHoo, I would trade......I have a 12 year old DD who thinks she is 20 and wants to know why she can't hang out with her friends at the Fall Fair Friday night by THEMSELVES("but, so and so's mom says it was OK"). AND a 6month old DS (tried for years to have more kids and had given up!!) who is a finger sucking, drooler with a nasty habit of projectile vomiting.

 

[Churro]

O.K. Be....I will trade you, but...you have to know all the words to:
Nightmare before Christmas songs
Walt's opening day speech
Twinkle little star
Every Muppet show episode ever made
Shrek 2
and A lot of spongebob shows
cause she knows them all, even mouths all the words in the TNBC movie.*sigh* I don't know if it will work though because she is now going thru the ClingTo Mom stage. She is permanently glued to me. Does anyone have a cure for this? PLEASE!

 

[JeanJoe]

Oh my, I'm beginning to see that maybe I actually have it easy.

So perhaps I should just keep my two monsters, and hug them, and squeeze them, and kiss them, and hold them, and wrap many layers of duct tape around them, and I will call them Grumpy and Beast.

(apologies to Looney Toons)

 

[Churro]

Chicken!

 

[JeanJoe]

It was your requirement to know all the words to a lot of spongebob shows that finally made me appreciate how wonderful my children are.

(On the other hand, if I have to watch the Wiggles ONE MORE TIME...

... well, I guess I'll sit there and watch it. )

Chicken!

 

[DisIvyCo]

sorry wrong place

 

[Churro]

Well I will one up you......my duaghter watches them so much that we got to see them in concert! Wiggles rule! (no really they were actually good)

 

[JeanJoe]

You're scaring me, Churro...
