Sisterly Love

I believe I got a few of you with my last post. Judging by how many of you read it anyway... readership went through the roof. Glad to see your all still awake!

Honestly, I really had my sister in mind when I wrote that. My sister who stalks my FB, my blog, and is my most frequent texter and caller. I think she just may be more exciting about this than we are. (Well... at least overwhelming details seem to be squelching my excitement these days.)

I just knew that within minutes of posting that post - I would hear from her! And here it is....

And yep... I'm still laughing... 

 

Mommy's Germs

My little man is a germaphobe... and I love to tease him about it. It's 'our thing'.

Every night before he goes to bed, I kiss his ears, his eyes, his nose and a big wet one right on his lips. He claims to hate it, but every night he asks me for his 'special' tuck in... and so it is our little game.

Today, he was home sick school.

"It's taken a really time today to figure out what my body needed, but now I know it needs some Gingerale. Can you get me some Gingerale Mommy?"

So I went and bought him some Gingerale. But before giving it to him, I asked him if I could have a sip first (first, because I didn't want to catch his bug).

"I guess so, but just a little one okay?"

I took a gulp and handed it back to him, watching as he wiped the Mommy germs off the top with his shirt.

"You know, you already have my germs... you came right out of me.. germs and all!"

"No, I did not!" (He knew he was conceived from me - but was protesting the germ part.)

"Yep, made from Mommy's germs."

"Nooo!"

"True story, you came right from germ filled body... made from my Mommy germs."

He stopped... you could see the gears turning quickly...

"Well good thing for our adopted baby that they won't have your germs hey Mom? They're lucky."

"Don't worry Buddy, there will plenty of time for me to smother them with my germs. They may not have been born from my germs... but I can infect them easily enough."

"Eeewww..." and he walked out.

My kids say the darndest things....

Mister -  "Mom, did you put the pink t-shirt in my bag for Saint Bullying Day?"
Spoken like a true Catholic school boy.

Muffin -  "Ah Mom, just to let you know - you have hair growing under your armpits..."
Isn't she just precious?

Off to shave now....

Definition of disgusting....

 ...upon getting up from a hospital waiting room chair, you realize that the chair is wet! Gross!

With a 2.5 hour wait to get home, I told myself over and over again.... "It's just spilled water...it's just spilled water." But that did not stop me from greasing my hands up with sanitizer every time I walked by a hand washing station!

Yes, this really happened to me.

Why the heck do they have cloth chairs in a hospital anyway??!

Og and hair ragging.

I recently remembered one of my childhood favorite books. The Secret World of OG. (If you don't have it, you should get it... my kids love it too!)

I lucked out and was able to find one copy in one of our local bookstores.... and this is what our Sunday evenings now look like...

And as Sunday night is always a bath night, I comb out Muffin's hair and wrap it up in rags (the store bought variety. ;) while Daddy reads the story. 

And this is how it looks in the morning. 

I can't wait til she's old enough to rag my hair!!

Now, I have to show you the outtakes I found on my iphone... photos that Muffin took herself while I was rolling her hair. She has always been a model ham for the camera - I think she started posing at 18 months. Seriously.

And then, she pulls out her 'Beaver' impersonation. Haha... she's such a card!

My hubby's secret crush...

Seriously, I feel sorry for you readers. Ha! My blog is simply not safe from any topic. I think it, or experience it and I write it. Welcome to my my brain!

He has always loved... Sandra Bullock.

But what's not to love? She's cute, sweet and funny!

 Not to mention has an adopted cutie as well!

Not to come as a surprise, but he is pretty fond of Halle Berry as well. 

Yes, I agree... she is simply gorgeous!

BUT

The other night as we were watching the finale of America's Got Talent - he made a shocking confession. 

Ready for it? 

He has a crush on:

Yep, that's right Queen Latifah. 

Total shock! After 12 years... I am surprised that he is able to surprise me! I tried to find out what it was that he was attracted to - and he said he didn't know but he maybe it was her high cheek bones. lol. Then he looked at me with a grin and said, "Your gonna put this on your blog aren't you?"

 Yep, I am! ;)

(Not that there is anything wrong with being attracted to Queen Latifah - I love her, she is a funny, strong woman. BUT, she's not your typical celebrity crush!)
