RTT: So Lotta Random, so little time...

I haven't done Random Tuesdays in a while because there have been So Many Other Things keeping me busy. So busy in fact, that I was actually scared to open my Google Reader this morning. But I Kept On Persevering through the fear and clicked on it anyway and up pops Keely. I just couldn't resist her Efficiency.

• Yesterday I did something new. I decided I was going to Embrace the FreshNewStartiness of Mondays. Sadly, Monday decided not to Return My Embrace. Rude! So.... Yay Tuesday!

• I think I am going to Stop Overanalyzing the fact that I over analyze Everything and just go with it. HOWEVER, I believe that "A closed mouth gathers no foot." which leads to me think that Brevity is Good. So I'm not going to overanalyze things Out Loud anymore.

• This doesn't count because I'm typing Quietly.

• Thing4 was talking to me after school about how his day had been. I was listening to him while I was cleaning the kitchen. Which means asking Alot of Very Specific questions if you want to know anything important and otherwise MMhmmm'ing in the right places.

Cause I'm a good mom like that ;)

• He tells me he learned SO Much and I was like You DID? That's Awesome! What did you learn? Ummm..... I can't really remember.

AND THEN... "My friend Jacob told me he has a coochie. Mommy what's a coochie?"
WHAT!?
Ya.
So, I'm thinking I'm going to be hs'ing next year.
Because if my KINDER-GARDENER is hearing that word,
WTSamHeck is my 3rd Grader hearing?

• Apparently, I do not Adapt Well To Change because I am NOT happy that someone broke my Facebook. WtHeck!? Really?? I LOVE my friends. So much. But I just don't feel the need to know Every Single Thing they do. Do we really Need to know every time they become Friends with SomeoneIDon'tKnow? or are a Fan of SomeCrapIDon'tCareAbout? NOPE. Not so much.

• Life Tip: Make sure you get dressed BEFORE you make your coffee K!? No need to thank me. I'm just Looking Out for YOU.

• My kids are So Freakin Excited about halloween being this weekend. We don't normally do traditional halloweeny stuff. But this year a friend is having a birthday/ Trick Or Treating party. So we're going to go. I just want to make sure that they understand that I get ALL of the Peanut M & Ms we are not going to crack out on candy for the next week.

Now go post your own Random Tuesday Thoughts and link up @ The UnMom.com because I cleared out my Google Reader and now I have absolutely nothing to distract me from my laundry :)

Bleeding, PeePee dancing, Flashing... You know... All of the usual stuff you do in a week...

• So last week was a pretty interesting week.
• Not exactly the Most.Hellacious.Day.EVER! type of week, but still... definitely not boring.
• Not that we actually have very many boring days around here to begin with.
• The more I think about it... boring could be good for a little while.
• Just so you know...
• I am NOT writing anything else about PEE or URINE or POTTY TRAINING EVER again!
• For 2 reasons.

1. It seems to be prophetic.

2. Someone searched peepee dance aaaaand my blog came up 1st thing.

Along with some really really freaky creepy stuff.

Like anonymous peepee dance groups.

And strange videos.

And peepee kings.

Did you know that someone will actually PAY you to do ...er... wierd peepee dance stuff????

May I just say.... EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

And those are just things that I saw right off the search page. I was too creeped out to actually click on any of those links....

So, no more peepee here. Nope. You will not see that word here again.

As far as the internet is concerned... we no longer pee at my house ;)

• Thing5 busted her head open. As in huge hole in her forehead with LOTS of blood loss and screaming and gnashing of teeth.
• 4 stitches worth of busting her head open actually.
• She hit it on the edge of a concrete bench.
• Out of 6 kids she's the first to have to be rushed to the E.R.
• So I'm doing pretty darn good here!
• And she was AMAZING.
• Beyond amazing.
• The.MOST.Amazing.Child.EVER!
• When they came in to do the stitches the guy wanted to *papoose her. As in wrap her up in a sheet like a mummy so she couldn't move.
• WTH??
• The guy was like "Yeah it just makes it easier to keep them still. We've found that most kids fight us when it comes time to do stitches.
• Umm... YA! I'm sure the whole mummy sheet thing has NOTHING to do with that.
• So I was adamant about NO turning my sweet little 3yo into a mummy. And we told her she had to lay down and be really really still so the doctor could put the *string band aids in her head so it can heal.
• She says "It's okay. God is already healing it."
• And I told her that God sent the doctors to give her band aids"
• She laid perfectly still the whole.entire.time.
• She didn't move.
• She didn't cry.
• She didn't even whimper.
• It's like she just went inside herself until it was all over.
• She was absolute awesomeness.
• So I gave her my peanut M&M's.

• I think Thing2 is showing Doctor Potential.

Thing2: "I know just what to do mommy! Thing5... What does 2+2 equal???"

Thing5... who just turned 3 and has NO idea what 2+2 equals on ANY day: "2+2 equals... my head is BLEEDING!"

Thing2: "OH MY GOSH I think she has BRAIN DAMAGE!"

• I read something about the more colorful your food is the better it’s supposed to be for you. I think I might even have read it on one of the rtt's from last week.

• So I'm wondering if that's real.

• And if it includes M&M's.

• Because if it is true then they should definitely count.

• They are VERY colorful ;)

• Apparently I am now in the *business of flashing.
• Construction crews no less.
• I had a lil help from Thing6.

I was outside talking to a neighbor holding a WIGGLY Thing6. Who decided to pull my shirt down. And you could see.. well..things that are usually NOT seen by the general public... And to top it all off 3 construction trucks happened to be rolling by... death by mortification....

Woohoo!

We're takin a walk on the *wild side;)

I know.

Martha, Martha, Martha!

She pops up so much lately I'm beginning to think she's a whole 'nother personality.

Would that make me schizophrenic or is that only if I start talking to her???

IDK.

So here are 29 things about me that you might not know and probably didn't want to but have always wanted to.

1. I'm terrible at small talk. Even if you call it "fellowship".
2. I'm shy. Really. Just pass the doughnuts, and please don't make me talk.
3. Unless I know you. Then you probably won't be able to shut me up. Because chances are you're the FIRST adult conversation I've had all week.
4. So I guess you get that I'm not big on social settings.
5. or public restrooms.
6. or other things that smell bad.
7. I really really love Febreeze.
8. and Shout.
9. I can use an ENTIRE bottle of Shout in 3 days.
10. I really really do not love laundry.
11. It is possible to feed kids all.day.long and then look up at 4pm and realize you forgot to eat. Again.
12. And then you're so hungry you could eat ... well ... something you normally wouldn't.
13. I keeping a running estimate of the caloric values of everything I eat in mind.
14. If we are what we eat, I am 1/3 veggies, 1/3 carbs, and 1/3 Chocolate Chip Cookies.
15. I'm thinking that if you’re anal retentive ocd enough to calculate calories and then admit to extreme cookie consumption, you probably should not make such information public:D
16. I write inspirational, * chick lit.
17. I would love to be published one day.
18. But would hate all the social scenes that might involve.
19. Stormie O’Martian’s The Power of a Praying Wife was Life.Changing.
20. My husband and I have been together for 10 years.
21. I was very young.
22. And very, very stupid.
23. And God has done SO much with me that now I would only add 1 notveryemphatic very before the stupid.
24. And that's saying ALOT.
25. God is really really good.
26. I like to talk to Him when I'm half asleep snuggled under the covers.
27. And when I'm driving.
28. Which often makes the people driving beside me look at me like I'm insane for talking to myself.
29. 30% of those times I might...actually... be talking to myself.

Come As You Are

Hey! It's Tuesday! Know what that means? It means you should be at the Un Mom, the blog that pops up when you google stuff like "I am just going to type in something random and hope something turns up".

For reals.

Although, that isn't really THAT random. Really random would be "do ninjas like cake?" which also, apparently, gets you to her blog.

• The Jon & Kate thing. It's EVERYWHERE. Everywhere! Why???? I just don't get it. Have we truly been reduced to finding entertainment in a struggling marriage? Really??? Seriously??? Why??

• Someone @twittered that u were getting old when you didn't know what channel MTV was on. And ... I already feel old enough so... I 'm now following MTV on Twitter.

• I always say *thank you to Thing6 (thelast&finalbabyfromtheh&hbabyfactory whichisnowclosed fooorrreeevvveeerwhojusthappenstobethemostcutestbabyever) when I make his grabby little hands give something up. Today when I took something he was trying to put in his mouth, he held out his hand to me and said Thank you Thank you Thank you. Okay, it sounded a little more like tauc da tauc da tauc da. Close enough for me. Not close enough to actually give it back but...

• Would you think I was the Worst~Mother~Ever if I told you I seriously want to invest in shock collars?? For the kids?? Just at bedtime???

• I have some friend requests on Facebook that I'm just scrolling right past because I have no idea who they are. Do I know them??? Should I know them??? What if I should and I ignore them and they get offended??? So whoever you are ... Who Are You??? Cause until I find out I'm just gonna keep ssscccrrrooolllllliiinnnggg right past ya.

• Now I'm really wondering...do ninja's eat cake? I know ninja turtles like pizza. But that's about the extent of my *ninja knowledge.

• I CANNOT get the theme song for Camp Rock out of my head. That has to be 20 different kinds of sick. I've been singing Jonas Brothers aaaalllllllllllllll day. Freakin Disney Channel.

Cause we rock! We rock! We rock on!!!
