those pesky kids

By: amyswandering4 Comments

I had yet another ‘My kids drive me crazy’ conversation a few days ago. A very sweet lady asked me how many kids I had and her eyes widened when I said this was baby #6. She told me she had one child and two step-children. The next words out of her mouth were, ” I loved being pregnant, it’s the next 16 years I don’t like.” I’m sure my eyes widened as I smiled and told her that I’m just the opposite – I’m not very fond of the whole pregnancy thing, but love the houseful of kids. How I wish this was an uncommon conversation instead of one I’ve had over & over through the years!

On a funny note, this is a conversation I had with Sassyfrass (3) the other day:

Me: Did you pick up your toys yet? (I knew she hadn’t)

S: Yes, I did!

Me: Sassyfrass, it’s a very bad thing to lie. It makes Mommy sad and it makes God sad. I know you didn’t pick your toys up, and so does God.

S: God is eating lunch right now.

What am I going to do with this child?

I’ve read some great stuff on the web lately & thought I would share it with you! (Doesn’t that sound better than “Pregnancy hormones have turned my brain to mush & I have nothing of value to say.”?)

wfmw – the impossible quiz

By: amyswandering3 Comments

I came across this little online game recently called The Impossible Quiz. It’s very clever and addicting, but can also make you want to pull your hair out! There’s also an Impossible Quiz 2 if you are a glutton for punishment.

wfmw – keep headbands from slipping

By: amyswandering6 Comments

A friend recently gave me this easy little tip to keep headbands from sliding off: simply run a line of hot glue on the underside of the headband. (Just so there’s no confusion, let the glue cool before wearing the headband!!)

I just found this post on our local Craig’s List board and thought it was funny. The title of the post is Fake Boyfriend.

“I have been divorced for 2 years and have 2 children. Because of my schedule, and to be be honest, my pickiness, I am single. Here is the problem:My ex has figured out that he can force himself into my space by coming to all of the kids events that he has previously neglected. This means I have to see him about 5 times a week. (It’s killing me.)
You will attend a few of these events with me. Softball practices & games, school plays…
You must 29-40 yrs old, tall (he is 5′ 8″), good looking and physically fit. Your job is to be arm candy. You may fall in love with me. This is not a requirement. The pay isn’t great. (I haven’t gotten child support in over a yr.) You will however be entertained. For our benefit, my ex will talk loudly on his cell phone about all the money he is making. He will at random times, drop and do a few push ups. He will walk around flexing the muscles in his arms. (Don’t worry, they aren’t big). He may, after seeing me with you, show up with a stripper at the next event. My hope is that he can’t stomach seeing me with someone else and he just GOES AWAY.
I will need to see a current picture of you and can provide one of myself. This is your chance to have some fun and do a good thing for a hot, broke, stalked, single mom. Please don’t apply if you are a stalker, unless you happen to own horses and you know how to fix my broken lawn mower.”
