Botox, how bad can it be really?

Tonight I put Judah to bed he kept pointing to my forehead "whats this?" I thought I might have had a blemish or something, he was definately amused. He took my finger and pointed to my head. Nope no pimples. hu I think to myself? When he blurts out with a big smile "mommy has train track head"

Nice. I have forehead wrinkles bad enough my three year old thinks they are train tracks.

He did like them though he seemed happy about them. But he is fond of trains so that doesn't surprise me.

What Not to Watch

Here is my list of kids movies and why parents should not let their kids watch these "harmless" flicks.

1. Flushed Away - why? because your kids will either flush various things down the toilet in hopes of finding an underground world ruled by rats and frogs, or in my case your kids will be scared to flush the toilet at all. (Not a pretty thing) Oh and lets not forget the annoying British accents five year old boys like to mimic at random and mostly inappropriate times.

2. Annie- why? I forgot how sexy and drunk Mrs. Hannigan was. whoops.

3. Finding Nemo- why? you can't really expect your kids to snorkel in the ocean on a family San Diego trip after this movie.

4. Charlotte's Web-why? do you like bacon on a Sunday morning, well it is not the same when you four year old is asking for pig and your five year old goes on to describe how humans eat pigs. (used to be a vegetarian so this doesn't sit well with me and breakfast is ruined.)

5. Peter Pan- why? have you ever seen a three and four year old climb to the highest point of anything singing "we can fly" me running in slow motion "NOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!"

6. We already discussed Home Alone, may I remind you of booby traps.

7. I wish I could think of 10 but I can't right now.

8. Evan Almighty-why? if they do decide flushing the toliet is safe after watching Flushed Away and it floods the bathroom most likely caused by over toilet paper usage, they really do believe that the great flood is upon us and they are quite sure the house and all dwelling inside will float away.
# 9 And the very reason that inspired this blog.


Ratatouille -why? Your five year old son will think that anyone can cook and will try to sneak rosemary into the soup plus, access to seran wrap.


Tonight Mason was helping Dad cook a very good chicken soup and while I was mopping and Gary was chopping Mason seran wrapped 2 peppers, a dish and cup and a spoon. Why?

I will ask.



He didn't know, you know just a fun joke. (him not me)

And lead us not into temptation........

Haven't been feeling to well today, Gary finally got home after his trip was extended and pretty much I conked out shortly after he got home. I stayed in bed for a while until the sound of silence pierced my very soul and all my mother spidy senses were on full alert, somewhere, someone was getting in trouble. I dragged myself out of bed and went to where I could hear muffled voices behind the door. I unlocked it and found Abby and Judah covered in Swiss Miss powdered chocolate. They had an easy bake oven and pots and pans and water and yes an entire box of hot chocolate everywhere, the floor the beds, themselves. When I put Abby to bed tonight and I was snuggling in tight to her, I about choked on the hot chocolate still in her hair (apparently I missed this) She has a doctors appointment tomorrow and I will give her a bath or just say it is a new scent we are trying out. I document these things because I want to remember, I think I want to remember. I want them to remember anyway the things they put me through. I can hear some of you saying "Where was Gary?" My poor, tired husband was simply being a good dad and making dinner while I rested.

What Works for Me

Musinex for kids seems to do the trick for loosening a yucky cough.



What doesn't work



Musinex for kids, because while the cough is loosened having a wound up four year old girl lends to a different kind of sleep deprivation.



I am sitting with the prime example of one on my lap.



Abigail. It is 10 pm and she apparently is not tired. We wore boas and made sugar cookies, broke the TV and have talked about everything from robots to who she is going to marry. Actually if you know my daughter she doesn't talk to much but Musinex for kids seems to have loosened more than mucous, she is going mile a minute, shaking her feet and bouncing off the walls. She is like hammy the squirrel in over the hedge.

But it is cute, we must enjoy these moments. With every bite of the sugar cookie she nuzzled against me and proclaimed her love for me reminding me that I was the best mommy ever. She even said she was going to buy me a wedding ring to help me fight bad guys. I am honored.

Things that can be in a boys pocket

This is what keeps me going despite the below rant. My kids are so funny to me. So we are sitting here watching TV and I am wandering how I am going to make it through the night and Mason begins changing into his PJs on the couch, he stands up and says, lets see what is in my pocket, (now remember we had just gotten back from Walmart) He starts to pull things out of his pockets. This is the list.

1. bandanna
2.hole puncher
3. pen
4. bad guy
5. rock
6. dental floss
7. post it notes
8. last but not least, an entire vest for his rainbow club.

I rolled over laughing as he pulled the vest out of his pocket! Why? wait let me ask.

Oh, just in case he needed it. See I told you there is always a good answer.

Grocery store

Well today at Walmart I payed for a Paula Dean cooking Magazine. Of course you know I didn't buy this or should I say I didn't pick it out, I payed for it but apparently Abigail is a fan of Paula Dean. Anyway I caught this one, AH HA! she took it off my bill. On the way out of the store I began to wander, "Do my kids not know that this is wrong?" So I briefed them once again on grocery store etiquette. You know I could have kept the Paula Dean magazine had I 10 pounds of butter! But alas, I just bought some store bought brownies to drown myself into tonight. Gary is gone for the next three days and there isn't even a hint of a referral on the horizon. I am waiting on the Lord and watching and rejoicing with others but that is all I can do. Abby has got a terrible cough, it is the kind that is next to uncontrollable. This kept me up from 11 to 4 this morning, not that hanging out with my daughter watching "Over the Hedge" was fun at 2 am but ..... sleep would have been nice too. Now I am wandering if I am going to be making another trip to the urgent care with all the kids in tow. Pray I don't.

Why?

This time I decide to ask "why?" I mean who knows maybe there is a good answer.

"Why is there toilet paper taped to my dining room chair Mason?"

"Oh that is a bad guy elevator booby trap."

See I told you there would be a reasonable explanation to this.

Smarty Pants

Woke up after a very long night of being up with sick Abigail, I am also limping because I broke my toe. Rubbing sleep from my eyes, Mason is already up and dragging a chair across the floor to the pantry where I keep the food "locked" ya right. I asked him to shhhhhhhh! Abby is sleeping and he was making a horrible racket. He made his sad face as I grabbed the chair from him. I asked him what he was doing and he, defeated mid task ,said "I am forging for food" (Okay don't feel too bad for the boy his dad had just made him a big bowl of oatmeal) I bet he was going to climb to the top of the pantry, unlock it and eat sugar. That's my guess.
