My New Year's Resolution

Hey all, I know it's been a while since I've written a post, but before I give you my lame-ass excuse for not writing first I want to talk about my new year's resolution.

I normally don't make resolutions, because I have absolutely no will power and I never, ever keep them.

But, if I do make a resolution or a promise to myself, I try to make it small so that if and when I fail it won't be a big deal.  I know I'm just setting myself up for failure.  Yeah, who the shit cares!

Come next August I will hopefully be returning to the work force and I won't be able to sit on my ass all day watching "The Price is Right."  I know I will regret not using my free time for something I really, really want to accomplish.

My New Year's Resolution this year is to finally finish the book I've been working on. I'm embarrassed to say how long I've been working on it.  Umm, so I won't.  Ha Ha.

I'm also going to try to write my blog more often.

So you want to hear my lame-ass excuse for not writing my blog?  Well, too damn bad, I'm gonna tell you anyway.

There are a number of reasons actually:
I've been non stop reading
Kicking some Candy Crush Ass
Cleaning like and OCD freak
Napping

So there you go, that's what's been so damn important.  Actually, it is very important for me to be inspired by something to be able to write about it.  A day doesn't go by that I don't think about my blog and what I should write about.  But, the way I see it is, if I'm not interested in writing about it, why would someone want to read it.

Because of my bullshit, I've lost quite a few readers, which is okay I guess.  I don't like waiting on people either.

So, do you make resolutions?  If so, do you keep them?

"Meet my friend Squidward"

My son Andrew is obsessed with SpongeBob Square Pants show.  To be honest, that's really the only cartoon I can stand to sit and watch.  I never realized how much my son pays attention to the shows he's watching.  Well, until he did something that, uh I was totally speechless.

This made me wonder what other T.V shows have going on.

Rabbids

Patrick from Spongebob

Rug Rats

Adventure Time

These are just a few I found, that I know my kids watch.  Are you wondering what brought all this on?

I was getting Andrew out of the shower, when he said to me:  "Hey Mama, meet my new friend Squidward."

He pushed his pelvis area out while he introduced me to Squidward.

Come to find out, when he looks down at his kibbles and bits he sees this:

Squidward from SpongeBob

After much laughter from me and trying to get him to stop making his Squidward from flopping around while Andrew jumped on the bed, I wondered what else he sees while he's watching T.V.  I did a little research and come to find out there is a lot!

So, I have a battle to choose here,  do I not let him watch T.V anymore?  

Hell NO!!!  I don't think I can handle that.

Now, before you judge my parenting skills, they both know that many of the words they hear on these shows they aren't allowed to say.  Andrew will hear someone from SpongeBob say "stupid or dumb."

He will say  "Oooh Mama, Mr Crabs just said a bad word."  So I'm not really that worried. 

Who cares that he named his penis, most men do that anyway right? 

Do many men talk to them too?  Hmm.. maybe I should talk to him about that.

Important skills my children teach each other

When you have kids you know that they will teach each other things.  When dreamed about having kids I thought they would teach each other how to play, share and just have a good life together.

Well, I guess Im an idiot for dreaming or thinking like a shit hole. 

My daughter is 5 and a half years older than my son, she really plays really good with him, most of the time.

Although, she has taught him one important task that she deems a very valuable life skill.
Since Andrew has been about 3 years old hes a pro at any iPhone app there is.
Oh no, she doesnt teach him learning games, he MUST learn how to play Minion Rush, Wheres Perry or some version of that game.  And, virtual makeover and 50 different ways to make corn dogs and cotton candy. 

Even though she's the oldest, he teaches her so many things too!

He goes beyond technology, he schools her on a couple things about anatomy.

Recently she learned that when Andrew does naked jumping jacks his weenie is able to bounce around too.  I personally find this next one fascinating, although she doesn't agree, but it amazing he's able to pee while scratching his ass with both hands. 

The main thing she has learned that I guess would fall under anatomy would be that we actually do have a butt hole.  She assumed this knowledge after Andrew's naked jumping jack session.  I guess when he's done with that he likes to finish off with him pointing his butt toward his sister, bend over and spreads them wide!!

When she saw that she looked at me terrified while of course I laughed.

Emilie:  Mommy, did you just see that?
Me:  Yeah, funny huh?
Emilie:  He has a hole down there!
Me:  Um, yes Im aware of that.  Its called a butthole.  Every one has one.
Emilie:  (stares at me like I just told her she was adopted)  Really?  I thought we just had a crack. But there is an actual hole there!!!
Me:  (My turn to stare at her with no comment)
Andrew:  Yes Sissy, see butt hole!  (bends over again)

After I got Andrew dressed I went into Emile's room and broke the news to her that she has a special hole just for peeing.  I didn't tell her about the other hole.. hope she doesn't find it on her own, she will really freak the hell out!!

The last lesson that they have taught each other is the most important farting.

No, they didnt teach each other how to fart, that comes naturally.
Emilie taught Andrew how to fart and walk the same time.  He mastered that in no time, and then he uped the ante...

Now they both know how to run and fart.  Andrew insists he sounds like a "big, shiny racing boat."  Emilie disagrees and says that he sounds like a pontoon boat. 

Either way, I guess I should be proud that they play well together and have a good farting time doing it!

Still holding on....

I see you from across the room, our eyes meet.  I see love in your eyes, I see hate in your eyes.
I don't care, at least you can see me this time.  It feels like eternity how long I have to wait to see your face again.

It takes me no time to run across that white room to feel your skin again.  You don't pull away like you do sometimes.

I know our encounter is a dream, but I hold onto it for as long as I can.  Every time I pray for another minute with you.

As we embrace, I don't understand why I still carry your soul with me.

When our loving embrace ends you look into my eyes and without saying a word, it's time for you to go.

I'm sick of letting you go, when will our paths cross again?

My heart breaks every time we have to say goodbye.

I always turn away from you when you're fading, I can't stand to see you leave me.

I can still feel your presence "I will see you soon, I always do."  I whisper.

It's called common courtesy

I will be the first to admit I have a lot of bad qualities...

I'm selfish, I hate sharing my favorite candy, snack with the kids.  So yes, I will go in my room and watch T.V and hide it under the covers. No biggie.

I may read too much, but it's just my way to relax.

Chris bitches that I like to wear headphones blaring Adam Levine while I clean or write.  Sometimes I just don't want to hear him or the kids.  What he doesn't know is that sometimes I have the headphones in but, the music is off.  For some reason I like to pretend I have music on and I can't hear anyone.  But, it doesn't stop the kids from asking me questions while I pretend to dance.  Chris yells, "Stop talking to Mommy she can't hear you!"   Haha

But, one good quality I do have is... Common Courtesy

Kids
One of the kids projectile vomited spaghetti all over the bedroom, I will suck it up and take the kid and clean him up while Chris cleans the mess in the bedroom.  I do this because I know it just breaks his heart to hear our little man crying because he's sick.  Just common courtesy I think.

Our brand new baby boy is finally home from the hospital Chris is sitting in bed cooing to the baby who barely opens his eyes. Chris was never one to offer to change a diaper, especially a newborn and their disgusting runny shit.  Somehow, I talked him into changing Andrew, it was probably his first time changing Andrew.  He put Andrew between his legs and took off his diaper.  "Hmm, weird he didn't poop."  Chris looked up to me for guidance.  Right when he said that Andrew decided to christen his daddy and projectile shit all over the front of him.  Emilie and I got up from the bed and ran.
"Where the hell are you going?"  Chris yelled without opening his mouth all the way afraid poop would get into his mouth.  Of course I ran to get something to clean Chris up with.  Yea, that's what I was doing.  More common courtesy of course.

Critters
I only have one example of common courtesy when it comes to critters.
It was around the early 2000's and I worked for a beer distributor.  My friend Debie and I were walking to go to lunch or something.  We had to walk down a sidewalk between 2 buildings.  Chatting away, like we always did.  I noticed a few feet in front of us that there was a freaking huge snake on the very same sidewalk we were walking on.  I'm serious guys, this looked just like the snake from Anaconda!!!
This is exactly how I remember it,  "Holy Shit!"  I screamed to Debie.  My hero instinct must have kicked in and I yelled  "Watch out Debie!" While I pushed her out of the way of the biggest snake I've ever seen.  I ran back the way we came and leaped inside the building.  Once inside and safe I looked behind me and Debie wasn't there, so I looked out the window and noticed Debie outside still.  But, she was even closer to where the snake was.  She must not have been scared and decided to take a closer look at the nasty creature.  Although, if you ask Debie she will tell the story different.  But, I know what happened, and I was only trying to help her out.  It's only common courtesy to save a friend from an anaconda right??

Sex
Who likes having sex when you haven't taken a shower in 8+ hours?  Not me!  I need to feel clean and fresh.  So, why would someone be offended if you asked them to shower before doing the deed?  Who knows!!

Sex and other things that go on in someone's bed is very intimate and raw.  Oral sex ix one example.  I certainly wouldn't be mad if I were a guy and set up camp down there and then my girl asked me not to be down there.  I would ask why and be very, very thankful when she told me that she needed to fart.  Hell yeah, that has got to be the number one example of common courtesy!!!

Just like me being selfish with my Cheetos, other people don't consider common courtesy very important.  Not me though, as you can see from just a few of those examples I'm always looking out for others.
