I'm Kind of a Big Deal

I'm just so full of awesome that I had to get some of it out.

See? I'm cooler than the other moms.

Tuesday, March 21, 2006

I recently have found myself reiterating to my daughter that I AM, in fact, cool.

See:

How many of your friends' moms are taking their kids to see Fallout Boy and All American Rejects next month? HUH? And by the way, I'M going to see FallOut Boy and All American Rejects and I'm just taking YOU to be nice. How many of your friends' moms are going to Ozzfest this summer? None? I didn't think so. Do your friends' moms have Coach bags? No? Yeah, see? I bet your friends' moms listen to Barry Manilow and stuff. What CD is in my car right now? Disturbed.

I did get one great big giant compliment from her a few weeks ago, though. I was taking her to school and she needed a paper signed that was in her classroom. I told her to bring it down to me in the car and I would sign it. She said, why don't I just come up to her classroom and sign it? I was all, LOOK AT ME. I hadn't fixed my hair and I was NOT dressed to be going through the halls of a private school. And by that I mean no bra and UGLY. Then she says to me, "Well, you look better than Libby's mom, and she tries to fix herself up! " Now wasn't that sweet???

This whole "kids growing up" thing is really hurting. It hurts. I'm all hurty.

Don't look at the messy backgrounds.

Thursday, March 16, 2006

I've made an amazing discovery.

You know how when you are smack dab in the middle of life, you just wake up one day and wonder what the hell happened, and when the hell did it happen?

That happened to me today.

I was looking at some pictures that were taken about 1 1/2 years ago. (or yesterday, as it certainly seems.) One picture in particular made me do a double take. In it, is my son and daughter, leaning into each other, smiling. It is precious. Here:

See the cute little round faces? Notice that some of my son's teeth are missing? SO FREAKING CUTE.

Then there's this other one:

Notice how BIG she is? I must have blinked some time, cuz I did not see that happen. The other day she was this little girl. Now she's not a little girl. She's 11 and getting boobies. I embarass her. She started rolling her eyes and groaning when I dance and sing in the car; things she used to think were HILARIOUS. Now, OMG SOMEBODY SHE KNOWS WILL SEE HER MOTHER ACTING LIKE A RETARD, AND THAT'S LIKE, THE END OF THE WORLD.

Damnit. I hate this shit.

In other news, I am so excited to be going to KC this weekend with my dearest Dan, to whom I will be married 9 years on the 21st.

We're staying in a 4 star hotel downtown, and we haven't planned one single thing except a really nice hotel, with great beds, I hear. YaY!

LOST

Friday, March 10, 2006

I know there are some "Lost" fans out there. I have a question.

I just started watching this show. I haven't seen any new episodes at all, but I've been renting the season 1 DVD's from Blockbuster.com. There are 7 DVD's total, and I've seen the first 2. What I want to know is what season is the show currently in, and how the hell will I ever catch up? I don't watch the episodes on TV, because I want to watch them in order.

This show is soooooo good.

Oh, god, remember this? Yes, I still use it, but only to track my days. Cuz, sometimes I forget. Anyway, I got to looking at it today, and was rudely reminded that I have 32 cycles memorialized in that motherfucker. Thirty-fucking-two. Gah.

Good thing I paid the 30 or so bucks to get that lifetime membership, huh?

Love birds

Friday, March 03, 2006

This pic was taken last night for my husband to send to his newly-found sister.

(She was given up for adoption by his mother and father. Dan was around 4. Long story. He just found her yesterday. It's been quite a cause for celebration!)

Thought I'd share. Oh, and don't mind the hair- cuz, ew.

I was just mopping my kitchen and this thing popped into my head. It is one of my favorite moments of being a mother, one that made me laugh so hard I cried.

Then, I thought, hell, you don't ever blog anything, blog it.

So here it is.

Scene: the day I brought my son home from the hospital, in my living room. The only people home were me, my brand new son, and my daughter who was 2 years and 8 months old. I think I had sent Dan to the pharmacy for pain medicine. Whatever. Derik started crying, so I sat down in the recliner with a pillow and began to nurse him. Things were going well. I was peaceful and happy. Then, Jarikah came waltzing unsuspectingly into the living room to find us. As she turned the corner, she stopped in her tracks and stared for a few seconds. Then her face turned into this horrible horrorific horror, and she exclaimed, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

I answered, "Feeding Derik."

Her face turned even more horribly horrific, and she said, "OUT OF YOUR BOOB?"

I guess I forgot to fully prepare her for getting a new baby.
