2. lizards and snakes are way cool - but liam had as much fun watching the herd of monkeys surrounding us
3. as usual i am left wiping up the mess of in-laws vs. parents
4. and YES it was speculum - tastic as i suspected - there's nothing like the thrill of an icy speculum

grapes from the gods

10 pm last night, in the dark - sitting on the sofa

"what is this?"

"i dunno"

"i dare you to eat it"

"i'm not eating it. it might have fallen out of my butt."

"oh come on...i dare you. what do you think it is?"

"hey wait is that a raisin?"

"oh i'll eat that"

"ewww you just ate a butt raisin"

Where's Liam Wednesdays...

Tabhair póg dom, táim Éireannach

throwing stones

Supposedly there is a lesson you're supposed to learn when the same bad thing (or person) enters your life again and again and again.


I seem to have a recurring theme...


Exhibit A : high school - girl (I truly pitied and believed by being friendly and nice I could change) who would lie about the colour of the sky and believed it - thought that telling everyone I wanted to be her and have everything she had.
Exhibit B : university - girl who needed a roommate and I a place to live - existed in a world of her own fantasy and thought I wanted to be her and have everything she had.
(do you see a pattern yet?)
Exhibit C : grown-up - girl who was a basically an acquaintance seems lonely, has similar interests to me - thinks it would be fun to slander me - because I want to be her and have everything she has.


And I am left feeling much as pictured...


I am pretty happy with my life. I am back to a size 8, I have 4 (very faint) stretch marks and my boobs are bigger, I don't have grey hair and no wrinkles. I also have a wonderful loving supportive (and gorgeous) husband. An amazing smart funny and active son. A large and supportive family. Five outstanding and beautiful women friends who would stand between me and a firing squad.

I guess people just make me sad. These 3 women, I pity.
Lesson Learned: don't be nice to crazy people.

Next week: Ten Things You Hate Doing

Bonus: Ten Good Topics for Ten on Tuesday

Mindful Mommy Mondays

i often wonder what's so funny?

have i mentioned...

this wonderous (like wonder woman - the whole dealio with the invisible plane and the laso of truth) woman makes me laugh every day...

fear of the future

I'm quite sure that though they are years apart, this beautiful creature and Liam are cut from the same cloth.

The evidence:

1. Dora is not just a name - it is also a verb and an adjective in our house


2. books that don't begin with "HOLA, I'm Dora..." are simply a preamble to the Dora books or show


3. the electric toothbrush exists to steal your soul and may chase after you (which I have to agree the only solution to that is a kick in the nuts)


4. oh and liam has taken to disassembly of electronics

and yet he is so much younger. what do i have to look forward to now....

Flashy fridays
