Saturday night.
The Internetz has been awfully boring today, so I shall brain dump here for your reading enjoyment.
The only catch is that you get bullets.
- Busy Girl is doing better despite looking like she's storing food for the winter in her cheeks.
- Towel consumption season has officially begun. I have no idea how one small boy has generated so much laundry today. He's also exceeded his lifetime limit for showers.
He has taken a full shower every time he's gotten out of the pool today.
- Accidentally discovered that you can serve a Stouffer's Flatbread Sandwich (Geezum Pete, that was not an ad, though I did have a coupon) to the kids for dinner merely by saying it's your sandwich and they "won't like it".
- Been in a foul mood most of the day. You? You're breathing wrong back there. Bring me an iced tea from Sonic and no one gets hurt.
- Trying to rate limit kids for, "Hey, Mom..." not working.
- If one adult in the house has plans for an outdoor project that takes the entire day and evening, that adult really needs to tell the other adult ahead of time.
- That adult is now on the way to Sonic. Just sayin'.
- I still have some cool giveaways over at Busy Mom Reviews.
- NPR blaring outside is aggravating my homicidal tendencies. (see also: other adult, Sonic)
- Apparently, I'm not alone. Busy Boy has developed a heckuva Garrison Keillor impersonation. And it is not flattering.
- I have no obligation to ensure that a certain teenager sees her boyfriend on a regular basis. That teenager would like to submit a differing opinion. But, she can't! Her face is all swollen.
- Vote for me. Please? I'm the last one. It just takes a second.
- I really, really, really need to fold laundry. Don't wanna. 7 year old is even noticing he doesn't have clothes, though. Still don't wanna. Told him it was a treasure hunting game. Indiana Hanes and the Temple of the Buried Underwear.
- Sometimes, The Internet makes my jaw drop.
- Went to Mass this evening. Busy Boy has poison ivy and a bad habit of picking at his fingers. Immediately before the Sign of Peace (shaking hands) he shows me his bloody right hand and fingers. I may have arthritis like I'm 80, but I don't carry Kleenex in my purse on a regular basis.
No Lifesavers Cryst-o-Mints, either. Raise your hand if you could find both of those in your grandmother's purse.
- Someone is not back from Sonic and is likely spending all our money at Home Depot.
UPDATED: Someone forgot my drink from Sonic. Oh, yes he did. Stay tuned for my new single parenting blog.

I wish I had a Sonic to fix my bad mood.
Oh man, my Nana always had Certs in her pocket. What a memory. Hope Busy Girl heals quickly. I had my wisdom teeth removed in college. Not a fun time. Also, people in my house have been breathing wrong for several days. I'm feeling kind of stabby.
Going to bed to hide under the covers and never come out now because *I* have both Kleenex and Lifesavers in my purse at this very moment. Do I get a reprieve if I truly am a (very young at 43) gramma? Ugh.
Gold-wrapped certs - Wint-o-green - and USED Kleenex...good times growing up, I tell ya.
Hope you got something caffeinated at some point today.
He should be sent out again to make right what he did wrong!!!
I cannot believe he forgot your Sonic drink!! Send him back out!
Hope Busy Girl is doing better and not driving you nuts (well at least not too much!)
Oh goodness! Sorry about the bad day. I wonder if our spouses are related. My husband had Friday off, I told him I needed to get some writing done. He promised to stay away from me. He dropped one child at school on his way to breakfast. I called and asked him to bring home more creamer (I need my coffee and I love my creamer).
I loaded the twins off on the bus driver and 20 minutes later my husband is standing in the kitchen discussing the sprinklers he just purchased along with the weed killer, the fertizer, the soaker hose, and which washing machine would be the better buy. He was completely oblivious to my death stare and that he had forgotten the creamer. I'll admit, I'm even surprised I let him live.
Well, I have figured out your problem. Clearly, its the Iced Tea, when you should be drinking Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper makes everything right with the world!
You're welcome
Laundry is really a treasure hunt? WOW! Wish I 'd thought of that one sooner. Good one!
hahaha - Tea? Home Depot? Tea? Home Depot? I bet I know which one won!!! Afterall, thars some tinkerin' to do, ma!
SINGLE Parenting blog? What? Bad tea?
I do not fold laundry. Ever. God gave me children to do that.
He who uses the towels can fold them...and the other laundry too. It's a condition of watching tv.
LOL I really really enjoyed your post!
I had my wisdom teeth surgically removed, two at a time, and it was no picnic. Swelling, bruising ... not pretty.
My favorite drink: Sonic's Route 44 Half-sweet/half-unsweet iced tea with extra lemon! I can't believe he forgot.
Creating a Mosque at Ground Zero has to be the silliest idea during the history of humanity, I truly imagine that it is purposely purposely designed, at best, to insight controversy. I am not really a conspiracy theorist nevertheless it is either shameful or hateful, most likely the two. willa
