blog365 …. mmmfffp! Who’s stupid idea was it? It might be the ugly brain child of this fricken fine fellow (sorry Kamen Lee).

I was going to skip it today. I started to think up excuses:

* The dog ate my homework laptop. I just knew you wouldn’t buy that one. You know with the dog being a shitzu and all.

* I have to attend the opening of my garage door. Haahahah … Ok, so that’s not all that funny, AND I don’t have a garage and, therefore, no garage door. I could hear you all chanting, “liar, liar, pants on fire!”.

* My uncle escaped again! This is actually fairly close to the truth, AND if my family didn’t read this blog, I might just be tempted to tell you the whole sordid tale. Then again, I do tend to have that lazy streak … the one that keeps me from getting too long winded or in depth. Well, because that would take a little work and even a little work is sometimes too much work for me … it’s a LONG story.

* I have to study for a blood test. Really, I was going to go for a blood tests tomorrow at 6 a.m., but I am not supposed to eat or drink for 12 hours prior. My lazy streak kicked in right around supper time, we didn’t eat until 7′ish … I decided to wait for Monday, 7 a.m. is just too late. Tomorrow’s a busy day.

As you can see, I am a pathetic ‘excuse maker upper’. It’s easier to just blog!

What’s the best (or worse) excuse you’ve ever heard? MommyKnows you know …

I couldn’t just stop with pancakes and bacon. I had to keep going and going and going.

This is the reason, I shouldn’t take up new hobbies!

Just look at this mess!

I have been struggling with a coding problem for several hours. Getting extremely frustrated! When this kind of thing happens, I just can’t do ANYTHING else! I must figure out and solve the problem … GRRRR!

Then it dawned on me, I hadn’t taken a 30 Tiny Moments photo or written my blog post (or fed the kids – oh well, I sure Mr. MK did … don’t worry). I ran in the livingroom and snapped this picture.

I feel just like Georgia looks in this photo: (in her Zooni hat)

NO, NO, NO — not drunk and disoriented!

Just dazed and confused …

It was one of those nights, that turned into one of those days.

Sorry, for the 2nd weekend in a row, my hosting co. has tried to migrate to a new server (with no luck) and my site has been down most of that time. This weekend, I was down and I also lost the original ‘NEW Contest Starts Today – Two Free Slings from Pippalily!‘ post, which I have recreated below. Continue Reading

Just because…

What follows is one of my top ten most embarrassing moments!

Early 1990′s – Applebee’s Restaurant

I was on a date with a Dork. Just so you know it wasn’t the first date with ‘the Dork’ and it wasn’t the last. That last part probably doesn’t matter, but I’m telling you anyway.

(psst… don’t think I am mean calling him ‘the Dork’, he turned out to be much worse, but it a long, long story – just take my word for it, OK?)

‘The Dork’ and I were seated in a booth, across from each other. I am sure I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I have a serious (but not debilitating) diet cola addiction, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise, that I had a VERY large and icy Diet Coke in front of me. It’s also important that you know that the drink was really tall and the straw very long (remember those two details, ok?).

Just a sec… I’m going to run and grab a drink.

I am craving lobster!

** 10 minutes of silence ** fingers hovering over keyboard ** nothing!**

Is the title starting to make sense yet? My mind is blank … well, except for the LOBSTER.

I am thinking about taking up extreme-ironing –> I’ll get Mr. MK to try it out first, you know, so I don’t get hurt! It’s sort of a ‘kill two birds with one stone’ kind of sport –> get fit and get ready all in one go!

Which reminds me, I’ve been exhausted all week. I STILL haven’t recovered from my night out!

MommyKnows and Mr. MommyKnows (along with the 3 youngest WeKnowNothing hooligans) are thinking of taking MommyKnows on the Road. Just a short family trip, any suggestions? Where would you like to see us go?

Work is making me crazy! Anyone out there want a career in etail?

Am I raising ‘Little Suzy Home-Wrecker’?

Like mother, like daughter!

Hey! That’s not true, my kitchen is nearly always clean! I’d never pile my dishes on the counter! The mess in this play kitchen is starting to get on my nerves. I get my kitchen looking spiffy, I turn around and have to look at this.

Georgia for heaven sakes clean up your kitchen! Really, it’s so much easier if you do them right after dinner the tea party! You’ll never get those ‘stuck on’ smarties off the pan if you leave them sitting over night.

Sam, when I ask you to bring in firewood –> TAKE. IT. ALL. THE. WAY. TO. THE. FIREPLACE! It SO does not belong in the middle of the kitchen.

Lizzy, you’re still on my good side –> STAY. THERE!

I was cooking dinner (whoohoo) and Georgia was eating a DQ Dilly Bar.

“Muma, me want more ice freme.”

“Yes Georgia, after you eat supper you can have more ice cream.”

(note: I often say, “YES” before I mean NO to lighten the blow … this time it just didn’t work (not fair!).

I want ice freme ….
