Somebody Call Guinness

I feel confident that I hold the world record for saying “Ian, please put your underpants back on.” more times than anyone else. Ever.

This One Kills Me

Originally uploaded by Sarah606

This picture exhibites several reasons why I am a terrible mother.

1) I let my son play in a public fountain in his underpants.

2) It cracks me up that it looks like he is peeing.

3) I posted this picture on the internet.

Consider Me Stimulated

June 27, 2008 | Uncategorized

I always used to think I was really bad at math until one day I realized that if I just looked at the numbers and pictures them with a dollar sign in front of them addition, subtraction and percentages were no problem.

Even though I am the polar opposite of anal retentive (if you’ve ever seen my style of housekeeping you will agree I am telling the truth) but I tend to be OCD when it comes to money.*

When we bought our first house we took out a second mortgage. There was about about a three month period in our lives where Gabe and I were both working full time. We decided to pay off the second mortgage (it was only a couple of thousand dollars) and I got weird about it. I used to send the mortgage company between $1.30 and $150 dollars almost every day. I know it sounds crazy. In fact, it probably IS crazy but it is 100% true. Online banking enabled me to send a payment for $9.68 without penalty.

What was my point? Oh right. So today I was checking our online account like I do every day and I noticed that we had more money than we had yesterday. A LOT more money.fistful of dollars

And it isn’t a payday.

The government direct deposited my stimulus check. Wasn’t that sweet of them?

I rarely have nice things to say about our current administration but this sure was nice.

Thanks Uncle Sam.

* And my cds and my Netflix queue. Other than that I’m a mess.

Claudia keeps yelling “Go Redskins!”

Now, while I think that it is great to root for the home team – you know, for other people – my daughter just wasn’t raised like that.

What I would like to know is which part of TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS did the girl not understand.

*sigh*

Oh well, at least she is talking about football.

(Her brother just made up for her error in judgment by asking me if it was football season yet. Now that is a boy after my own heart. I wonder how long until he asks for his own fantasy team?)

The One She is Going to Hate Me For

June 25, 2008 | Now I've Seen Everything, Parenting, The Pink One, The Unexplained

“Mommy!” she yells. “Look at me! I have a tail.”

Then she runs by with a pair of underpants shoved in her butt.

NOW I’ve seen everything.
