This next song is a country hit first made popular by John Denver. Watch as Ella makes it… legendary. (this one’s for you, Jenny Mae)
I have another one of her singing “Country Roads” by John Denver but my computer takes just too long to sit and download two videos. Enjoy!
Last night I started watching to DVD episodes of BIG LOVE, about a polygamist family in Utah and I think I have made a major life decision. I think I am ready to take on a second husband. Sure, I know there are going to be some tough times, such as double the dirty socks to pick up- but I think I’m ready. And really, now is the perfect time. Both of the houses around my house are for sale- so husband #2 could even PICK which house he would want. And honestly, I could really use the extra income of another husband. So, if anyone knows of a fella looking to be a second husband to a wonderful family please let me know. I’m hoping to find a guy the opposite of Matt. Maybe I would appreciate both husbands more, “Oh, I love how everything is so orderly!” and to the other husband, “Oh, I love how laid back you are.” I might as well get rolling right away. I just have to jump a couple hurdles after that. 1. Breaking the news to Matt. 2. Finding or creating some religion that embraces polyandry.
I have spotted Ty Pennington at my daughter’s daycare. For real, yo. Across the street is a house that is being done for Extreme Makeover home edition and I saw that dude, Ty in the parking lot. I’m sure everyone who read this has just fallen off their seat because this news is so awesome. (eye roll)Sorry if I hurt your butt. :)
Comment about my last blog.
Please read that one line as, “It takes a village, people.”
NOT, “It takes The Village People.”
That would be a completely different point to the story, a hilarious, extremely bizarre and weird point.
Yesterday I had a craving for ice cream. I ran to the store to grab a pint and the first point of this story is that I found ice cream that has Live Active Cultures in it!! Like yogurt does!! Ice cream is the new yogurt! Tell your friends!
Point number two being as I was leaving the grocery store I spotted two kids sitting in a car alone. One a baby, and one a naughty 5-6 year old boy. No criticism to the mom- I don’t know what the situation was- but I just didn’t feel comfortable driving away with those two kids in the parking lot at 9:30 at night. The little boy kept sneaking out of the car and throwing things in the street and pushing carts in the road… like I said- a naughty kid. Anyways, I sat in my car for 20 minutes until the mom came out. Everything was okay. The kid happened to be sitting in the car looking innocent enough when she came out. I’m going to try to do more of what I did last night. I think if more people paid attention to more kids out there MAYBE we would hear less horror stories. It takes a village people. My ice cream was melted by the time I got home- but it still was tastier than yogurt.
That last post about posting more blogs counts as a blogpost… and so does this one. OWW!
I admit… I haven’t tried my darndest like I promised in my last blogpost to write this week. Call me a SlackerAss. But now I have been set up to duel Jenny with who can write the most blogs this week… which is bullshit cuz I have written more blogs that her every week for the last six months except this week… but whateva sista… YOU’RE ON! :)
It’s just a matter of time before I perish here in Minneapolis. It may be a bridge collapse or maybe a flood. Who knows? Dang, this place is falling apart. I had a GREAT weekend though! It was chilly and rainy and I had very little to do. Perrrrrrrrrfect. Matt and me watched Hot Fuzz which I totally recommend. Hilarious. Ella’s butt is healed. Matt is feeling good. I have yet to get anything from the wreckage that was in my Kia though. Which is really annoying. Almost all the windows are either broken out or rolled down in the damned thing and we have had like six MAJOR rainstorms since the accident. I wonder if insurance is going to pay all my stuff too? Harumph. Anyways, I’m going to try my darndest to write more blogs this week.
It’s about time people knew some of my awesome parenting techniques. I mean, I really shouldn’t keep them all to myself. Here are a few lessons I have learned as a parent.
- Be careful what kind of language you use with things. Such as don’t call rash ointment “BUTT CREAM” or your 3 year old will run around Wahlgreen’s telling everyone we found the the BUTT CREAM.
- The perfect chore for kids is the Swiffer. I let Ella use the wet Swiffers in the kitchen while I do dishes and then let her run around the house with the dry Swiffer. Kid’s LOVE long sticks. Might as well put something that cleans on the end of one.
- Here is another one about butts. No matter how discreet you are with kids if they go to school or watch TV they are going to learn how to MOON you. I have NO IDEA where Ella learned to do this but one day I was sitting outside and Ella ran in to go to the bathroom. All of the sudden she runs outside and starts shaking her little nude butt at us laughing. WTF?? Also, she has learned a dance call the underpants dance in where she shakes her underpanted butt at you singing “Underpants! Underpants!” I swear I did not teach her that- but parents should still be prepared to deal with this surprising activity. Consider this a cautionary tale.
