I'll never forget the story about the 22 foot snake (I think python) that someone in Florida had living UNDER THEIR house!! They had to dig a trench around the house to remove it. I tried to look it up on a search but can't find it -it was like 20 years ago. The homeowners pets started to disappear, they think the snake was living on raccoons, etc. They had the snake on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson..the thing was so huge (weighed over 200 lbs.) it took about 10 men to carry it out, and it was knocking them over every time it moved. How many showers does it take to wash the heebie jeebies away from that one??

Why the heck am I sooooooo exhausted just from watching baseball practice?
Oh that's right I was spending the whole time wrangling the twosome I banned them from the playground today cause DD was a real piece of work at home & #2DS wasn't much better, so we spent the whole time on the bleachers. This was me - "get out of there/stop throwing rocks/get over here before that truck hits you/stop running on the bleachers/for the love of mike stop yelling (that was to DD who doesn't know the meaning of quiet)" I think the only time they sat still and did what they were told was when they were eating their dinner, the delicious baseball park dinner of hot dog & nachos.

I don't know who is more ready to go to bed me or them...................................................................ME

Why oh why did you punish yourself I have done the same thing in the past and realized the only punishment there is to yourself as they will find a way to drive you crazy when they are forced to stay within 4 feet of you. Tell them to go play and they glue themselves to your hips but want them to stay there and all of a sudden they are ready to go on a trip around the world I think my favorite punishment was when both kids just kept beating on each other and I made them sit on the couch with no tv on holding hands for 10 minutes - and they had to be nice or the 10 minutes restarted

Scorpions?!?!? Ack!!! No indeedy. I'm doing the heeby jeeby dance just thinking about it!

Spider = the rest I can handle - bugs, mice, snakes, frogs, etc do not bother me. Now if I lived further south where they all eat miracle grow and are an unnatural size, forget it, all bets are off

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

Spiders and hissers and bats, oh my!

I'm scared of snakes and frogs. It makes my skin crawl thinking of either one.

So I decided not to cook. We had tacos, and now I feel icky.

 

[It's A Happy Day]

It's 9:48 and I am done with my "winner" day....

Both kids stayed home from school - it is DS's 7th birthday and we had a family day. Kid gets a choice to go to school or stay home - ya, I'm one of THOSE moms that lets their kid stay home when they aren't at deaths door So here was my day (condensed):

* In laws brought over sons present and sang Happy Birthday (10AM)
* Playground of childs choice - slide, sandbox, swings, etc.
* Chinese restaurant - they have an awesome lunch buffet that we try to get there when they open so it's fresh and not picked over by who knows what
* Home to put together baseball pitching rebounder (1 of his presents)
* Off to Monster golf - miniature golf course painted with glow in the dark paint, white/black lighted, and has scary creatures around - dracula, werewolves, gargoyles, etc. Also has a mini arcade so we played a couple rounds of air hockey where I kicked DH's butt in a round.
* Home Depot to decompress from child fun and look at some stuff for the yard - chairs, patio sets, fire pit
* Bowling - did 2 strings - DH & I watched the kids bowl
* Home again - let them get on Webkinz for 2 hours made them spagghetti (DS's fave) for dinner - easy peasy jar sauce and boil noodles. Made sure they are set for school tomorrow and now they are laying down - I think DD is asleep and DS will be soon.

Now I get to make 30 cupcakes for DS's class tomorrow Now I know why birthdays are only celebrated ONCE a year

I don't do bugs...

Me too. I remember we truned on the ceiling fan one night and a roach flew off it and DOWN MY SHIRT! I still do the heebie jeebie dance when I think of that.

I once made my kids look at each other and take turns saying nice things about each other! It was awesome and we never laughed so hard. If you ever do it, be sure to turn on the video camera

I can just picture that one, here's how it would go:

DS: I like how when you hit me it doesn't hurt
DD: I like how when you wear a tshirt your head doesn't look quite so large
DS: I like it when your out with mom the house is quiet
DD: I like it when you go out with dad because I can eat your candy

they would bring up everything BUT the real nice things I would definitely need to turn on the camera for that one

Morning all!

I drank too much kahlua last night. I'm such a lightweight now.

 

[Mkrop]

I am so gald I missed the bug discussion

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

Morning everyone!!

I've got to spend part of my day buying some dishes, towels, shower curtains, etc. for the employee housing.

I swear, they steal everything before they go home. One year, they even took all the friggin light bulbs!!

Tell me if I am a "Winner" mom yet today. I have been up for two hours, made my DH breakfast (OK, instant oatmeal and coffee...but I put it in the microwave and turned on the coffee pot..) made him a sandwich for work, helped him pack his truck..(OK I carried out DSs' duffle bags for the weekend.), grilled 3 chicken breasts, cooked noodles, steamed broccoli, cut up veggies, and wrapped them all in individual aluminum foil packs for their campfire dinner tomorrow night.

Have I achieved winnerdom yet?

YES!!

And that means you don't do anything else for the rest of the day!

 

[It's A Happy Day]

Making dinner before lunch, hell take the weekend off!!! You deserve it Now you need to go through a drive thru and get a nice cup of coffee for yourself

 

[mdrob214]

Morning all. I think Queenie has done enough for the whole lot of us. We should all take the weekend off!

So my DS asked for coffee this morning He's 10, I figured why not and gave him a small cup with vanilla creamer. He didn't like it--go figure! Turns out they are having a sub and he wanted to be 'wired' for her! I feel for that woman today. Fortunately they all won't get away with much. She knows them too well.

Morning Losers!! I sooo enjoyed my dinner out last night. I let DH pick because I was just happy to be out of the house. We went to So LOng Saloon, one of my favorites. Had the yummy raspberry black bean dip and BLT. They PILE on the bacon. DH had their resist temptation burger, they fry an egg and put it on the burger. Had our grease quotient for a couple of days.

We had the funnies conversation last night and I said at the time I have to tell my LOSERS about it.

We're watching some show I had DVR'd and I stopped to watch a Disney commercial. It was about the dream suites in the castle and the one in DL. I asked if you stayed in the castle if it would be wrong/sacrilege to have sex in the castle. He said it would be REQUIRED.

Our conversation went on to say how it would be "nicer" to tell our baby she was conceived at WDW in the castle than in Vegas.

DH started in on giving birth in the park. He thought if the baby were born inside Disney borders the baby should get free tickets for life, access to health care, I added in free dining plan access.

OK< so maybe you had to be there, but we were

You only did that so you could get rid of them sooner. It has nothing to do with being a winner

I agree with you guys. If the baby is born inside the park you must get free dining plan and tickets for life.

That's a good point!

I heard this on the radio this morning. Things a mom says in a 24 hour period. DS wasn't impressed. Anita Renfro You Tube The Mom Song Check it out.

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

I wonder if there have been any births inside the WDW Resort??

Well, I googled it and nothing came up.

I guess birthin babies ain't in the job description.
