Normally I do not push politics...

But every once in a while something comes along to make me step over to the other side. And this is one of them... Baby Bush Toys. I don't know who came up with these but OMG they are brilliant. I have never seen someone grasp the essence of a person so well in a line of products.
I will be shopping for baby gifts pretty soon and these my find their way into one of those green and yellow bags. They are toys that raise your child's self esteem and not their IQ. Way to go!!
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: This entire entry is oozing with sarcasm... could you tell?

What a combination....

As I was sifting through my emails I was scanning through one from rachelraymag.com, and yes I am a huge fan! There were all sorts of quick and fun ideas for the Big Game on Sunday but this one really caught my eye... Beer Margarita. And as Rachel Ray would say... Yumm-O! Or if I amy go another route... As Joey Tribianni would say... Beer... Good! Margaritas.... Good! Whats not to like??
Stretch your culinary wings this Super Bowl and branch out from the ordinary buffalo wings, nachos, and Bud Light and get creative, I know I will! However, I will not be hosting any festivities this year, Bug and I will be at a friends house. But don't worry, I will be making something just a little different and I might even bring along some Beer Margaritas for everyone, who knows!!

Huge entertainment news....

Now in a day where idols like Brittany Spears, Jamie Lynn, and Paris Hilton thrive. And there is tragedy all over like the news of recession, war, political bashing, and George W leaving office (oh wait, that is good news). You really need to wonder why kids these days are the way they are. Even this weird muscle dude has been effected by all of the media (or steroids, either way it is funny).
I think it is these reasons why there is such a swing to nostolgia and the way things used to be. And that is why I am so excited to share with you the possibility that NKOTB may be reuniting!! Whether you were a fan or not, I believe it is cause to celebrate!
So bring back Danny, Donny, Joey, John, Jordan and bring back the good times!

Finally a full nights sleep...

After nearly a week, Bug let me sleep for almost a full night... Exciting!! But on the other hand... I have the cold (probably from lack of sleep). Anyway, I am coughing so hard my brain is rattling inside my head and my stomach muscles hurt. And I don't think that it is possible that one person could produce as much snot as I have in the past few days... But enough of my whining, I am begining to sound like a man!
So back to my night's sleep... To get me off to La La Land I dosed up on Mucinex and Sudafed and I will be the first tell you that I should NEVER take that before going to sleep. I have heard tha pregnancy dreams are crazy but none of mine would hold a candle to my Sudafed dreams!! They are bizarre and usually sexual in nature (I can only wonder where my deprived mind is these days... hmmm) which brings me to last nights escepades.
All I remember is bits and pieces but it invloved Axle Rose naked (I don't know either) but it was interesting to say the least! I wonder what tonight will hold... I will keep you posted!
POINT OF CLARIFICATION... it was Axle Rose circa 1980s not the creepy one today.

Maybe she will be a soccer player...

I laughed just the other day to a friend of mine about her daughter kicking Grandpa in the head and last night I got my payback... Sorry B!
I was talking to Bug about calling Daddy. This was at home after she kicked my wrist in the car when I was handing the phone to her so she could talk to him then, and yes he was on speaker phone when that happened and heard her scream, "NO! NO TALK DADDY!!". I can't blame you kid, but I gotta do what I gotta do!
Anyway, like I was saying... I told her that we have to talk to Daddy and she was pretty P.O.ed at me for telling her that, yes, she had to do something. So she said, "No!", wound up and kicked me right in the shin.
Ugh! You little... Time Out! No Kicking!! And my mom just watched in amazement!
And here is the best... In time out she pulled her pants down and sat there with her pull-ups hanging wide open and full of poop in protest!
(Desperate plea) Please tell me it gets easier?!?

Flagging in the mall....

I don't know what you called it but I distinctly remember that there was a period of time in sixth grade when it was actually fun to sneak up behind people and jerk their pants down to their ankles and this was called 'flagging'. I am sure you see what direction this is going in...
So the other day Bug and I were at the mall and we went into Gap Body, a bathing suit in the window caught my eye. Anyway, like most toddlers will do she dropped my hand and ran around the display then I heard her giggling. Hmmm? When I walked around the corner she had flagged the mannequin, she just jerked her panties to the ground. "
Oh... Bug!!"
"Mommy, she got boobies!"
"Yes, she does."
And mortified, I bend down and re-dress the dummy. And right next to us is a sales associate talking to a customer, actually, they were laughing at us!

You have heard of hiding the sausage but what about the toddler version...

It is called "Lets hide my Bah-bah and Ping-won right before Mommy needs to leave for work, it always seems to put her in a good mood!"
And in case you were wondering... it is a miserable game but luckily it only took me two days to figure it out! Yesterday on our was out the door I realized that we were minus the buddies (insert frustrated sigh) so we searched and searched and searched. Finally we found them in the bedroom on the dogs bed. When was she in there? Oh well, we are late, lets go!
This morning was the same routine... on our way out the door. Where are the buddies? First take a quick look around the den and kitchen, I could have sworn that they were here a minute ago! Next stop, the bedroom. There they are on my bed. Come on, lets go, we are running late again!
I think Bug does this when I go out to start the car but just wait till tomorrow... hopefully I will be awake enough to catch her at her own game!
