Waiting Patiently...NOT!!!!!!!!

OK I know my husband is going to make fun of me but I really don't care. The suspense is killing me over the release of the Celtic Thunder 2009 tour dates!!! The fall tour was awesome!! My husband's very Irish Aunt and I went and had a wonderful time. This tour the whole family is going to go. My kids LOVE Celtic Thunder and hubby well he tolerate our enjoyment. CT puts on a fantastic show and the music is very diverse, something for everyone. So all I have to say is Sharon announce the dates already before me and countless other fans POP!!!!!!

I think I'm raising a Free Range Kid!!!

My Cub Scout Pack spent the night at the Franklin Institute this past Saturday. My son is nine, we were locked in, lots of security measures and everyone had cell phones. My husband and I plus a couple other parents let our boys "roam free" the entire time. We trusted them to stick together and not do anything stupid. We would check in with them now and then by phone or have a meeting time to see a show together but for the most part they were free to do what they wanted. The parents had a great time, the boys had a great time, it was a learning experience for us all. I mean how often do you get to run around a museum after hours with your two best buds and no parents to "cramp" your style!

Gotta Love 'Um part du

So the little wise ass got me again this evening, here's the story: I'm sitting on the couch with my four year old and she says to me "Mommy I stink, smell me, I stink" so I smell her hair and say jokingly "Oh yeah PEW!" So she says "No Mommy smell by fingers". So I figured I'd humor her and smell them and they really did stink. So I say "WOW, your right your fingers do stink" and she starts laughing and says "That's 'cause they were in my butt!!" NICE!!!! I thought my husband was going to hyperventilate he was laughing so hard.

Gotta Love 'Um!!

My four year old daughter comes into my room yesterday morning as usual and we do our normal ritual: talking and snuggling. When done she goes to walk out of the room and say's to me "Bye Turd...OH I mean I love you mom!!!" and she looks over her shoulder with the devil dancing in her eyes. I was actually rendered speechless. I didn't want to laugh but it was really funny. I wasn't sure if I should yell at her because it was really funny. So I just chose to ignore it and say nothing. It just goes to show that what goes around comes around. I pride myself on being a wise ass. My angel is following in her mother's foot steps!!!

Finally Back!!!!

Wow, we got hit with one of those kill the computer virus worm things and it total screwed me all up. I couldn't do anything for a week. I felt like I had lost a family member!! Man that's sad...I think I'm a computer junkie. I need to check e-mail like every hour or I get all jittery...LOL!! And if there is no new mail I'll actually read old mail. I never realized how much time I spend on the computer until I didn't have it. A good portion of my day is spent typing, searching and reading. I think I need to do time management when it comes to my computer usage. I need to "wean" myself off the constant e-mail checking. I'll need to start small, maybe check it every other hour at first. I don't want to go to fast and go through withdrawals!!! My husband would come home and find me in the fetal position all sweaty and shaky..."OMG WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!" "I went cold turkey...I think I'm going to barf!!!" Then I become a closet e-mail checker and I wind up on the streets all strung out hitting the local library and cyber cafes trying to get my e-mail fix!!!! LOL!!! Now that's a mental picture!!!!!!!

Weenkini

I picked my son up from school on Friday and we start our usual chatter, how was school, do you have homework, where you warm enough? And some how we get on the subject of dressing our dog up. My daughter says we should put boots on the dog, son says how about a hula skirt and then, then we got really silly. Daughter says let's put her in a bathing suit and sons says a bikini and daughter says "that would be a lot of tops to cover all her boobies!!" And I say she would need a "Weenkini!" We all crack up and that's how the picture below was created. The twisted mind of my artist husband and the freaky vision of the rest of us!!! Enjoy!!!

Have you ever...

gotten hurt but you don't know how?? My pinky finger on my right hand is killing me. It started yesterday afternoon. It's swollen and sore and I have no idea what I did. You would think, with the way it looks and feels, I would remember but nope NOT A CLUE!!!! Is this part of the ageing process? Things just start hurting for no apparent reason!! I don't mind getting old because age is just a state of mind and mine is fairly twisted. But I can really do without the aches and random pains!!
