Yup, the boys have the TV that we use for the camper in their room, and Rob split the cable and drilled a hole in their closet so they could get cable. And they go to public school. LOL.

Quick little story about my scary night. Ella woke up from her nap crying. She continued to cry out every now and again during dinner. I noticed her left hand seemed to be swollen and she wasn't using it. When I lifted her out of her high chair she really screamed out. I started gently squeezing her hand and then worked my way up her arm, when I got to her elbow she screamed again.

We took off her shirt and her entire left arm was swollen and tight feeling. We took a closer look at her elbow and there was a tiny red mark. We both thought it might be a spider bite, so DH got a flashlight to look her room over real good. He shined it on her elbow we could see two tiny holes in the red mark. Put in a call to the doctor and while I was waiting for him to call back she started playing and started using her hand again. He advised us to give her Benadryl and Advil and wait it out, but if it got red or streaks appeared to go straight to the ER. Comforting.

I worried all night of course, but today she is fine. Daniel has always reacted badly to bug bites, especially spiders. He gets a hard round golf-ball size knot under his skin and it get red and hot. I'm thinking about having an exterminator come out and start one of those routines where they come monthly. Do any of you do this?

AAAAAAaahhhhhh!! You just described my worse nightmare. In fact, you're now going to give me nightmares! If that had happened to me, my arm wouldn't have had a chance to swell up. My heart would have exploded in abject fear first! Spiders, brrrrrrrrr...!!!!!!

Glad to know the little one is better.

Cheeringmom, Eeewwwww, not a Dutch Oven--that hits too close to home.



Rick, you can drill. You can hammer. You can feed your cable. Whatever!

Remember the the hole in the wall in the boys locker room in Porky's?

You should be a fly on the wall when Joe and I watch TV. I mutter little nuggets like that all the time and snicker with delight. And Joe? He just rolls his eyes.

You should see me when someone says Uranus!

Well Deadheadbelle, I would NEVER put cable in my child's room. I would NEVER even put a television in my child's room. We don't even HAVE a television, because we are all about a CHRISTIAN education for our child. That is why we HOMESCHOOL. Public schools could NEVER be good enough for our child. I mean, how could you do such a horrible thing?

I breastfed until they were 2, co-slept until puberty, read the bible daily and NEVER, EVER, NEVER let them ride as a lap child so I could better afford us a trip to WDW. The abuse of making them go was punishment enough for when they spilled their milk at the table at age three. After the milk spilling, they were acting like brats so I wouldn't take them anywhere, for fear that I would be next to a childhater who thought my autistic son was never taught to behave. I also parent 24/7 and I mean 24/7, the kids never are without a parent, because that IS best. I didn't send my kid to kindergarden either because it was full day and I pulled them out of the horrible public school for a Disney trip, so we could go at a slower season and afford it.

Shall I go on????

Confessions:

DH and I love movies like Dumb and Dumber (the bathroom scene with the broken toilet should be in the Potty Humor Hall of Fame.

Some of my favorite sophmoric (sp?) movies scenes:

The latest Austin Power movie where Austin is hiding behind the water fountain and accident unplugs it.

Same movie -- the scene where he is behind the screen, and it looks like he is giving birth to Mini Me.

A Fish Called Wanda -- the scene where John Cleese is nekkid and reciting Russian and the family walks in.

Give me a minute, I'll come up with more...

little nuggets

Dang it Rick

 

[Bichon Barb]

Don't you know, Lewski, OUR children would NEVER act up in a restaurant. I had MY children trained to be seen and not heard by the time they were six months old! And of course, they were potty trained by 8 months.

We don't have HBO, but the hotel we stayed in last week did, so Rob and I got to watch Sex and the City for the first time. (The boys were in the other room--please don't flame me mommy police.) We were giggling like idiots. DH liked the show so much that he rented the third season when we got home. Maybe he's turning into a Metrosexual? Nah, I think he's just really hot for Samantha.

Well, one can't be sure, can she. Instead I would prefer to go to more fancy establishments which aren't family oriented and ask for seating away from any children, just in case, but if I see one behaving well, I may commend the parents. They should be taken out to the car immediately if they can't behave and then you may rejoin your party. And oh, if a kid sits and acts up next to me, I feel they should pay for my meal (all of which I ate and nothing was wrong with) or the people with the child (whom I know nothing about) should foot my $150.00 bill where children shouldn't be allowed anyhow.

BTW all of my posts, I shoot from the hip.

Cheeringmom, you HAVE to put your dutch oven smiley on there!

I love childish humor! It drives Joe nuts sometimes but I'll hide in the closet in the bedroom while he's in the bathroom getting ready for bed. When he comes into the room, of course I'll jump out and yell something inane, i.e. "BOOGAH BOOGAH!"

Never fails to make him jump out of his skin. And I just laaaaaaugh!

Did you know I was 37?

 

[Bichon Barb]

I'm 38 and 10/12's. And ya know, that's the sucky part of being a parent--you're supposed to make a good impression. But it's so hard not to laugh when you kids are talking out of their butts ala Ace Ventura-style.

Today's question:

How old are you? (No, that's NOT a rude question!)

 

[RickinNYC]

Thank God a woman asked the "how old are you" question. My Mom raised me that if I were to ask that of any woman, then it was free reign for her to open a can of whoopass on me.

 

[Bichon Barb]

Nah, this is 2004. We women are PROUD of our ages (yeah right LOL). Now ask me how much I weigh and see what happens!!!!
