"Mommy, I drink water and it goes in belly. Then I go pee and it goes in toilet."

This is a conversation with my two year old as he had a glass of water this morning.

Amazing!

Mmmm Hmmm

Hubby has been mysteriously "sick" the past couple days. Pathetic cough, sleeping on the couch, not helping one single bit with the children.

But I'll be damned, when his brother called to ask him to hit the bar tomorrow night, he agreed.

And I told him that if he dare lay one more minute on that couch acting sick while feeling well enough to drink, he'll have to take his beer through a straw because I'll bust his jaw.

Teeth Rottin' Good Time!

While frosting sugar cookies with my toddler today, I was distracted by my crying baby. Doing what any mommy would do, I walked away from the toddler to tend to the baby. And doing what any toddler would do, he shoved as much frosting in his mouth as he could fit while I wasn't in the room.

Touche kiddo. Touche!

Head to the Ache

I have a massive headache.

'Nuff said.

Money Tree, Where Art Thou?

I recently started contemplated a return to work. Except this time around, I have two children and a mom who will no longer be my daycare provider. So looking into daycare made me realize I can't afford to go back to work. How sad is that? I mean, $8/hour for daycare...are you serious?! I'd barely net enough to justify spending 40 hours away from my munchkins.

This sucks. For real. I need to figure out a way to work from home. IDEAS! Anyone have any ideas?

Only in Detroit

My husband works for an industry that requires him to go on location to some pretty seedy areas, the ghettos of Detroit being one of them. Lucky him, right? Well I'll be damned if some punk tried careening his car *towards* my husband yesterday in an attempt to run him over.

WTF?

Now I worry about him leaving to work. Which I never did before because the job isn't supposed to be that dangerous.

And on a lighter note, I'm also looking into increasing his life insurance policy. lol

The Recession's Still a Brewin'

You know times are tough when stores like K-Mart are running television ads for their layaway options. I wasn't even aware layaway was still around. Growing up in a humble (aka poor) household, my mom lived by the 'shop now, pay bits at a time' practice. I'm familiar. I just couldn't use it because I'm a gen-x'er...I'm all about instant gratification.

Here's a Thought...

Daily massages and foot rubs should be mandatory for a husband to give his wife. If not, his penis will self-destruct.

Don'tcha agree ladies?

Turtle Turtle

Long time no chat my friends. In honor of my "comeback", I promise to write one new post a day for a week. If you read and keep the comments a comin', I'll keep postin'. Pinkie swear.

So let's talk about my babe. Babe is approaching 4 months old already and he's sure in a hurry to grow up. In startling discovery, babe has two teeth wanting to pop through AND is crawling. Okay, so he's not actually crawling yet but he's got the leg movements down and worms himself across the floor. Once he figures out the upper body, he's gonna be a mover and a shaker. Kinda breaks my heart. I was hoping he'd take things slow. I wanna savour his infant-ness but he has other plans obviously.

What's next? His first chest hair and 9 months? I mean, geesh!
