WHY GOD MADE MOMS

Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?

1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.

2. Mostly to clean the house.

3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?

1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.

2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.

3. God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of?

1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.

2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?

1. We're related.

2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's mom like me.

What kind of a little girl was your mom?

1. My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.

2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.

3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?

1. His last name.

2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?

3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your mom marry your dad?

1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my mom eats a lot

2. She got too old to do anything else with him.

3. My grandma says that mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?

1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.

2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.

3. I guess mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms and dads?

1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.

2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.

3. Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friends.

4 Moms have magic. They make you feel better without medicine.


What does your mom do in her spare time?

1. Mothers don't do spare time.

2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?

1. On the inside, she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.

2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?

1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.

2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it not me.

3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

only 12 days!

I get to see my husband in 12 days! Yay!

Recital

Today was Big Sis' recital! She did AWESOME! I am so proud of her! For some reason, you tube isnt letting me upload the video right now and these are the only pics I have. I am being emailed a few from other moms though. She had a blast and gave Miss Cheleste a big bouquet of roses (which she picked out even though I suggusted a MUCH less expensive bouquet) for her. Big Sis got her own bouquet too, which she was very proud of. They even recognized us awesome moms for making the tutu's! Lots of hard work paid off...everyone had a great time! Enjoy these pics!

Shutup Positive Patty

Jus a quick post this morning as I sit and watch my darlings chow down breakfast before gymnastics. This is just one little thing that annoys the hell out of me...and Im sure other people too. NO ONE likes a Negative Nancy. There is always one...bitching ALL the time about EVERYTHING. And usually their "situation" isn't that bad. But even more annoying is a Positive Patty. The "my life is so perfect, I am so blessed. Everything is perfect, Im perfect, Everything is wonderful, Perfect kids, Perfect husband, Perfect Life" Shutup. If you have to say it ALLLLLLLLLLLL the time, every post, every blog, every conversation....then your life isnt that freakin perfect. In my opinion, if you have to tell the entire world every single day how perfect and blessed and amazing everything in your life is...then you're hiding something. And I dont give a crap what it is. Everyone knows people like this and everyone agrees equally that they are annoying as hell. Call me cynical, call me bitchy, but you know it's true. I do try and look at the positive in the situation most of the time, but I dont go running my mouth about it all the time. That is all. enjoy your day :)

my baby is back! (ipod, not husband) ahahahaha

So all Big Sis has been talking about is her dad. She has a huge list of stuff she wants to do when he gets back..camping, fishing, beach house, movies, bowling. The list goes on. I told her a while back we were going on an airplane to see him. Then I felt really bad when I told her we werent going anymore (because her sister is a bit hard to handle in public) and that we would just let daddy come to us. She begged and cried and I gave in. We will be heading to VA to see daddy in 18 days yay!!! The girls just CANT wait to see him. Until then I will be pushing my badass self into shape and trying desperately to get Lil Sis to act like a human and not a rabid beast. I can see it now....being kicked off an airplane because my almost 2 year old screams "BOMB!!!". Yes...she really is like that. I havent talked to hubs in a while since he's been so busy with the course. This week he's in the field with no phone. Miss my Hubs! :( and the best new of all I FOUND MY IPOD!!!!!!!! aaahhhh I am sooooo excited! It was in my car (embarrassed). I swear to God I looked a thousand times. Big sis must have hid it. Bad news ; I lost my sunglasses. AHAHAHA. Shutup.

politics and my super cute kids

It's hot out. Really freakin hot out. Like 90's with 80% humidity. Only a few more weeks till Hubs is done with this course. I can go 6 months without him but 7 weeks seems to drag on and on and on. Anyhoo...my results came back from my thyroid. Normal. Yay. My knee is still giving me troubles though. I wear the stupid brace during my workouts and it's so limiting. It's hard because my knee doesnt really hurt until after a workout, so I dont know how hard to push myself. This morning was my boot camp class and is HARD AS HELL. And my knee is feeling good...tonight is Boingrobics so we'll see how that goes. I go back next week for an xray to check out my inards hehe. Hopefully it's all healed and I can get back to running. ~~~~> DONATE

I made the mistake of posting an Obama related status on my FB yesterday and it blew up into a political debate. I'm VERY mad the President won't be attending the Observation ceremony at Arlington on Memorial Day. Instead he will be at a BBQ in Chicago. Wtf is that? Am I the only one who thinks that's bullshit? I don't like Obama...never had and SOOOOO happy I didnt vote for him. I know several friends who voted probama and totally regret it. Are you one of them?

I saw a bumper sticker that said "One Big Ass Mistake America". Although I don't put stickers on my car, I loved it and thought it was hilarious.

So Sweaty at the park!!

Soph getting ready for a run. Do i need to invest in some baby Nike's?

Awww...they are pretending to get along!! Just kidding...they totally love each other!
