random thought thursday.




I stole this meme from my rock star of a friend, Emily.
She said I could.
She's cool like that.

*****

I've decided, it's my blog and I'll whine if I want to.

*****

I think "Don't ever go to bed angry" is the worst advice.
Sometimes I just need to go to bed and deal with the problem in the morning.
Things always seem less serious after a good night's sleep.

*****

Why do fingers and toes get wrinkly after being in water?

*****

Confession:
I threaten my children with 'red bums.'
It goes something like this:

"That's it! If you get out of your bed one more time you're gonna get a red bum!"

They've never gotten one. In fact, I'm not sure they really know what it means, but they listen when I say it.

*****

You know those people who say they have no regrets?
I think they're lying.

*****

Team Jon or Team Kate?
Who do you believe?

*****

Crocs are the jellies of this generation.

*****

We've all heard those stories of women who give birth and never knew they were pregnant.
How is that possible?
Really?

*****

I still say, "When I grow up..."
I wonder when that will happen?

*****

I need Karo syrup so I can make treats for Carly's Halloween class party tomorrow.
I've looked at three different grocery stores and nada! I'm going to have to take a taxi to the only store I know has some. The taxi fare will most likely cost more than the Karo syrup.
Sometimes living overseas is annoying.

*****

Lancome discontinued my favorite perfume, Aroma Tonic.
I hate when that happens!

*****

When you were pregnant and you'd picture your baby inside, did you picture them covered in vernix?
Yeah, me neither.
It's kinda gross.

- she is cool like that.
- you can totally whine. sometimes, it's needed.
- i agree. why would i keep fighting when my emotionas are ruling my reason? sleep it off and talk in the morning.
- i dunno. but mine get more wrinkly than anyone else i have ever known.
- i threaten my kids with "mr. spanky". that's my hand. and no, i never use it either.
- yeah...i have tons of regrets. i just don't let them make me feel guilty.
- team "they BOTH suck", but kate sucks just slightly less.
- ditto.
- not possible.
- i do to. shouldn't multiple kids make us grown-ups?
- but your trip to thailand soooo makes up for karo syrup.
- sorry!
- no...ewwwww! i don't even let the doctor put them on me right after they are born. i'll hold the kid when their all clean and wearing a striped hat...thank you very much.

you're beautiful.

whine away, girl. me too.

i agree. i go to bed angry all the time and wake up perfectly happy.

no idea. i guess osmosis would be the answer? all the water leaves your body and goes into the water, since that's the highest concentration, and then you're pruny from lack of water.

that would work for me too.

i don't watch jon & kate. but i think jon is a butt dog.

it's NOT possible not to know you're pregnant. the heartburn, weight gain, general discomfort, and KICKING BABY IN YOUR TUMMY make it an impossibility.

PS- Team Kate and I'm going to have to try the "red bum" talking to.

Random thought Thursday should be every week...but does that make it less random? Next time you're tossing and turning at 1 am, you should just call me. I actually took a Benydryl (sp?)last night (doctor's orders) so I could sleep...didn't happen.

One of these days, one of the kids is gonna say: What IS a red bum, mom?"

Love you picture. You look like a teenager!

If you ever need a stonger threat (teenage years?) you should change it to a bum like the monkey's at Singapore Zoo! Now those were some crazy red bums!
