A new post for a new year

Its now January 2009.

Amazing. Since I've become an adult, I'm not sure where the time goes. It still feels like I just turned 20. In fact I am 32...and a housewife with 4 children. It totally blows my mind sometimes. I'm not sure when I became an adult....but surely I am. My drivers licesce say so.

I will say that being an adult is not the same as being a grown up. Because sometimes I still wonder what I will do when or what I want when I grow up. LOL....yah...I know...sound slike denial right? Well maybe it is. Whatever. I look around my house and I think about how I would like to decorate when I'm a grown up. I have all these ideas about nice ornaments, nice wall hangings, nice furniture.....right now my house is decorated in the style of: exploded toy box. Just as a nice added touch we've also decorated with a touch of: never-ending laundry & dishes.

Martha Stewart would walk in my house & have a heart attack.

Anywhoo......I'm not really sure what I'm talking about...I just like to rabble. Which is nice for this because I'm sure I'm the only one who reads this....so I can be as lame as I want to be right? Oh speaking of lame....I only just figured out the spell check. Doesn't mean I'll use it. But I found it.

I guess I should reflect on the past year...what I've learned, the good-the bad-the ugly...and as per usual...I'll do a list!



Here is my list of what I've learned this past year:

• No matter how much you beg, they will not put an epidural in your neck.


• There comes a time when your breasts hit the bed before you do when you lay down


• Just because the lady at the green house assures you that the bedding plants you just bought are hardy & will survive..does not mean they will


• Your neighbours will not say anything if you have tons of dead big potted flowers all over your yard & landing..and you leave them there all summer & fall


• People will tell you how huge you are when pregnant


• People will ask if you are done having kids when you reach a certain number


• A wrap around skirt WILL blow away on you


• No one appreciates that you took on a moth & won


• Your children can & will amaze you all the time with their sheer genuis


• These same children will lick a spoon clean & place it back in the drawer
• No matter how conservative you dress, there will be some parent out there who considers you the hussy


• There is such thing as a One Horse Town


• No matter how you spin it or how desperate you get, A & W coffee still tastes like crap
• You can walk around all day in town with a dryer sheet stuck to your butt & no one will say anything to you
• An orange that has rolled under the TV stand will not get moldy & mushy...it actually shrivels & turns into the Crypt Keeper.
• If a dog shreds a towel & eats it....it will not digest & comes out whole...with some help from hubby (barf & LOL)
• It is possible for your husband to slip & slide right UNDER the van
• A husband will get mad if you laugh hysterically at him being under the van
• My daughter does NOT find it funny if you tell her there's a suprise out back waiting for her....and its a doggy poo picker upper
• This same daughter is a genuis in school & yet at home can't remember why she was sent to the storage room (6 times) for a can of soup
• It is possible to get beaned in the head 3 times in a row at a youth volleyball game (by the same kid)
• It is IMPOSSIBLE to try to sneak Toffifee out of the box without being heard
• My BFD does NOT stand for My Big Fat Dyke
• In the series 'Buffy'....Angel is (wait for it.....) a VAMPIRE!! OMG...this totally blew me away
• Sour cream does in fact get sour...and it doesn't taste good
• Labour & delivery STILL hurts...they haven't cured this yet
• No matter how many times I offer, my husband is not interested in tasting my milk...yet will drink milk from a COW

This is all I got so far. I'm sure I've learned much more...but I'm having a brain fart. I'm starting to wander....and my baby is waking up for his 8 millionth feeding tonite.

Good night everyone & hope this year brings you happiness & joy.
