The Real Me

A bloggy friend of mine, Jen from Denton Sanatorium, has challenged people to show who they really are!  If they are brave enough.  So ready or not....
  •  My house is messy more than it is clean.  I am not sure how often I vacuum.  But given the floors are usually cluttered with toys and papers, it probably isn't that often.
  •  I let the boy sleep in a favorite shirt....wait for it...he has already worn it....not yet....he plans to wear it tomorrow.  I just might let him.  
  •  Little Middle and the boy seem to be fighting more and more these days.  They can hardly be in the same room for more than five minutes without getting into it.  I am getting very tired of it.  I want to either lock myself in my room, or lock them in theirs.
  • At least once a week, but sometimes more, we are "TV People."  Which means we eat dinner while watching TV.  Sometimes it is something Disney, but once in a while it is Myth Busters.  
  •   Thursday I made cookies.  I made dinner.  I did the dishes.  And that was it. and yet I was totally worn out.  Why is that?
  •  I will say that until Thursday I was running all day each day.  Sometimes I do burn the candle at both ends.
  • I am often described as easy-going.  I am.  As long as I get my way.   
  • I have been known to duel with pool noodles
  • My daughter can burp on command.  I can not.  However, if I am drinking a Diet Coke....
  • There are certain nights that I work my schedule around what is on TV.
  • I turn my computer on before I eat breakfast.
  • I eat raw cookie dough
There is much more, but I will leave that to the imagination for now.  What about you?  Who is the real you?

I'd make a list, but it would be easier to just copy yours. Add to that:
-I never cuss unless I'm awakened between the hours of 2 and 6 am
and
-Eating in bed is totally worth the crumbs!

Is there anyone who can say no to cookie dough? And I always knew there was a reason I love your blog so much! Question, who do you duel with when you duel with pool noodles?

As for me, I try to be the super mom, but am currently sitting on the couch... on a load of laundry. Because blogging is more important than doing laundry. Heck, anything is more important than doing laundry. I hate doing laundry. Real or pathetic, you decide. :)

I agree with Sara....you sound pretty much like the rest of us cookie dough, pool noodle fightin', TV watchin', messy house people.

I can't even begin to tell you how reassuring it is to read that you eat supper in front of the tv too! And letting kids sleep in the clothers they are going to wear for school is not being lazy, it's being efficient (I keep telling myself that, it works for me!)

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
