Stuck as a Duck and not even Drunk

And before you ask... no, I do not have a picture.

My sister is busy working off some of the money she owes me. $5 a diaper change, $5 per kid per bath, etc etc. So just put Adam to bed and put the baby gate up so Kadie couldn't go bother him. She put it up off the floor so that it was too high for Miss Kaydence to climb over but she is smarter than that. Kadie decided she would go under it. As swift as a cat she went right under the baby gate.

April lowered it just enough so she couldn't get under it, or so she thought. Again, Kadie proved her wrong and slithered right under as if she were a squishy ball of baby. Jacob followed suit. He was just as much of a contortionist getting under the gate.

I thought it looked like fun and wanted to see how far I could go under. I barely got my head under it without ripping my ear off. Trying to impress my kids, I kept going. I got my shoulders and my arms through and it happened. I was stuck. My chest was too big to go through. I tried pushing the baby gate up just a little so the kids would think I was supermom for getting under the gate since they didn't think it was possible. The gate wouldn't budge and neither would I.

Jacob and Kadie grabbed ahold of my hands and started to pull. OWWWWW! That hurt! Why did I let them do that? I don't have a clue. Since that wasn't working they thought it would be worth a try to push me back out the way I came. I think I now have laminate burn on my left cheek. That hurt too.

I managed to maneuver myself back out and I tried AGAIN! Can we say, dumbass? Yup, all just to make my kids laugh. And you thought I only did crazy things when I was drunk, ha!

Fun Photo Friday

Because there are times that I don't really have anything to add to my blog I thought I would start a weekly photo post.

This picture was taken on Monday January 14th 2008. It is a photo of Lexi with the Savannah Hooters Girls! She wanted to have her birthday dinner there and I wasn't going to argue, it was perfectly fine by me. Jacob even tried sneaking in the back of the picture and if he wouldn't have ducked down it would have been a perfect picture. It's still great though... and fun! Enjoy!

The Things Kids Say

I know I posted a couple in my last blog but here I sit at 7am and my almost 7 year old makes me laugh.

L is cleaning her room this morning and she comes out to ask me a question...
"Mom, where's Jacob?"
"He's in my bed, why?"
"I need his help. He's an under bed person."

Ok, so it doesn't seem quite as funny as I type it out but you have to know that JC is the only one that ever cleans out underneath the beds. He will go all the way under to get the lego in the far corner and he won't miss a thing. L just isn't an under the bed person. Like me, it freaks her out LoL


I'm not sure I shared this sweet little comment made by my 3yr old, if I did, I apologize.

About a month or so ago the kids had upset me terribly right before bed. K sleeps with me so we went to bed and I buried my head in my pillow. I began to cry, uncontrollably. I was trying to be quiet but K still heard.

She says, "Don't cry mom. Moms don't cry, only kids cry."


Speaking of crying... I'm not sure what brought this on, but yesterday JC told me that I don't cry.

Me "I do cry, just not in front of you."
JC "Nuh-uh! You fake cry but you don't really cry because you don't have tears."
Me "Yes I do. I just cried the other day."
JC "Nuh-uh! You don't cry, you just fake cry."

This led to an argument between the girls and JC about me crying. I'm still not sure he believes it.


The kids are supposed to be getting dressed for school.

I tell them, "You aren't following directions."
To which L replies, "Maybe it went in one ear and out the other."

J also thought his GameBoy needed cleaning. He walked off with his GameBoy in hand and I hear the water running in the bathroom. I just knew what he was doing.

"J!! NO!!!"
Almost in tears from me yelling, "But why? It's dirty!"
