Quote of the Day...

We were all riding around in the car trying to figure out where we were going to eat tonight.  We were going to try and go to Olive Garden, but the wait was LONG.  So driving around, I mentioned Big Lou's; which is the best and biggest pizza EVER. 

The following then took place:

Me:  How about Bravo India Golf  Lima Oscar Uniform?

Bruce:  No.  Jeremy doesn't like pizza.

Justin:  You mean Big Lou's???  YES!!! Let's go! 

Joey:  What's Big Lou's?

Justin:  Only the best pizza EVER!

Eric:  YES!!!  LET'S GO!!!

Bruce:  No we can't.  Jeremy doesn't like pizza.

Joey:  You suck Jeremy!

Collective:  HAHAHAHA!

Joey:  I'm sorry that wasn't nice.  Let me rephrase that.  You suck balls Jeremy.

Me and Bruce:  BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Me:  Joey, that wasn't nice. 

Joey:  Well, it's true. 


Yup.  That would be your child, Kathy.  LOL!!!!!!!

Trading Rules...

The following conversation took place this morning:

Eric, Joey and I are getting out of the car.

Eric:  *grabbing the umbrella* Hey mom, remind me when we get the blue car back that I left my green umbrella in the trunk.

Me:  Well, we won't be getting the blue car back, but I grabbed your umbrella.  So don't worry. *smiles*

Eric:  Why won't we get the blue car back???

Me:  Because I traded it for the new one. 

Eric:  So we won't get it back???

Me:  No, honey.  Sorry!

Joey:  Yeah, when you trade something for something, you don't get it back.  I learned that with Pokemon cards.  Rules is rules.

Me:  HAHAHAHAHAHA! Truth. 

I. Love. Crock Pots.

Just wanted to throw a little shout out to my crock pot.  He made life so easy today.  All I had to do was throw some ribs and some spices in him and he made some DELISH ribs that fell right off the bone.  And I didn't hear one complaint. 

Thank you crock pot.  Thank. You.

Lazy...

Would be the exact word I would use to describe boys.  They. Are. LAZY! 

Would it hurt you to pick that Shhh...stuff up off the table that you left there?
Would it hurt you to pick up that dirty pair of underwear off the floor in the bathroom?
Would it kill you to rinse out the sink after brushing your teeth (if they brush them at all)?

These are just a few of the things that are bugging the absolute piss outta me.  For those of you who know me well, you know that I may, or may not, have a tendency to be a bit of a clean freak.  Well, I'm fighting a loosing battle.  I will never win.  Ever.  My house is destined to be a complete mess for the next 8 months. 

So, if you decide to pop by for a "surprise" visit, please don't judge me.  It's going to be a mess.  It's going to smell.  And I'm probably going to be drinking.

That is all.

ATTENTION JOEY'S PARENTS...

You will be so proud of your little boy today.  The Librarian told me that she has never been so proud of a student before.  A little boy dropped $20 at the book fair today, and Joey picked it up and returned it.  There is such a shortage of honest children in the world, and you should be proud that Joey is among them.

I'm a little teary eyed right now.  I'm not even sure Eric would return it...LOL!

ANYWAYS!  Be proud.  Be very, very proud.  I know I am.  You have done well with him.  I hope I can nurture this behavior.  I know I'm trying.

"Shirtless Saturday"

Today has apparently been deemed "Shirtless Saturday"  and the boys are now the "Shirtless Squad".  I'm so excited....... They are now all running around singing "Bottoms Up".  I've never been more proud as a parent as I am, Right. Now. (yes, that was sarcasm)

Achilles Heel...

Possible example of my "before" cabinet

We all have our Achilles Heel, mine just happens to be my Tupperware cabinet. You open it, shiiii... stuff falls out.  I clean it out all the time, but it inevitably ends up the same way.  Stuff. Falling. Out. On. The. Floor. 

Well, tonight, I was getting ready to put away food, and I walk over to the cabinet with defeat in my hear.  But when I open the door, what do I see, but organization?!  Someone had cleaned the cabinet out!  It was beautiful!  More so than when I do it! 

Jeremy had cleaned out the cabinet for me.  I'm not gonna lie, I cried.  I hate that thing almost as much as I hate mopping, and it was done for me.  Sometimes it's the little things guys.  Needless to say, Jeremy and Justin (because apparently he "helped") got a sweet treat. 

I love these kids.
