{Unsolicited Admissions of Failure at it's Finest}
So What If:
*Thanks to that show River Monsters, I will never ever be able to set foot in a river, creek, stream, pond, lake....heck, I won't even go in a puddle anymore. Have you seen some of those freaky monsters he pulls out of those rivers? No thanks, I like my legs attached thankyouverymuch.
*Sometimes I'm afraid the browser history on my computer might land me on some FBI watch list. In the past couple of weeks they'd find searches for "blowing up shed", "removing neighborhood terrorists", "legality of shooting trespassers", and "starting a war in the neighborhood". I swear I'm not a terrorist. I just have horrible neighbors.
*I managed to throw my back out, sprain my knee, and pop my hip out of joint this weekend. How you ask? Tripping over the laundry basket and falling down the stairs. I always knew housework was dangerous.
*We switched the kids rooms around this weekend. Yes, again. I also deep cleaned and organized all of the rooms while I was doing it. I've decided that Maia will be featured on an episode of Hoarders one day. There's just no way around it.
*I had words with the lady running Small Land at IKEA this weekend. Seriously, every single time we go they are too full to accept kids. They refuse to do a waiting list so you're forced to stand around and wait until a spot opens up. Well some lady tried to jump us while we were waiting and instead of saying something, the IKEA chick was just going to take her kid instead of mine. Oh it was not pretty, friends. We'd been waiting for 35 minutes right smack in front of the check in area. Needless to say, my kids enjoyed an hour of fun in Small Land.
*We spent most of the week inside the house last week thanks to temps ranging from 102-107! That is insanity. The kids are tired of each other and I'm tired of the fighting!

I TOTALLY had the same Smaland (am I spelling that right?) experience in an IKEA outside of London (yeah, I take my kids to IKEAs in foreign countries)...It was going to be my 4 YOs first time in Smaland and we had both been looking forward to it for months and months (great potty training goal) (Smaland, not IKEA in London)...There was NO WAY I was going to let anyone else jump us...I maintained my position...PHYSICALLY, because on a Saturday (no matter WHAT country) that is necessary in IKEA! All Hail Smaland!
ReplyDeleteI refuse to spell it like that. It drives me crazy. Haha! My OCD will not allow it. I complained to the manager this time. They just don't plan well enough at our IKEA. The store was not that busy, there were not that many kids in there. They just didn't staff it appropriately. They turned away at least 12 kids while I was standing there. No excuse for that.
DeleteIt's hot here too, to the point I've asked people to not mention it as part of their facebook status updates unless they are pregnant or ill. Those people get slack from me, but only them.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I don't think the FBI would consider you a terrorist, just a militant. You know, like those folks on the extreme right of democracy. There's a special place in the woods or in Waco for you one day...
I know what you mean. It's all anyone talks about on facebook. And I really don't want to hear about someone swearing they have heatstroke when the high temp in their city is in the 80's. Shut it.
DeleteI will not go into any water where I can't both see and touch the bottom. I haven't liked going into water where I can't do both since I was a kid, but it wasn't until I was an adult that I refused to do it. This goes for pools, too, but I think it's just smart in a lake or ocean. Who knows what could be in there?
ReplyDeleteI just wrote about the heat here, and the wasps that have decided to make my yard their home. Those two things mean we don't go outside. I don't care if it makes me a bad parent to keep them in and let them play video games more than the AAP recommends. It's for my own sanity. I figure it benefits them too; if I don't go crazy it will cut down on their future therapy bills.
I will never go into the ocean. Ever.
DeleteI wouldn't take a BATH after seeing Jaws.
ReplyDeleteInjuries doing laundry? Stop following my lead. Didn't you learn anything reading my posts?
I am concerned you live in hell.
All the rest? You're the type of crazy I just love!!!
HAHAHA!
My mom let us watch Jaws 4 the day before we left for a beach vacation when I was a kid. Needless to say, I spent the whole time sitting on the sand with the binoculars. haha!
Deleteoh wow I've never heard of Small Land being full... that's crazy! My son loves it so much too... it's that Ikea magic I guess :)
ReplyDeleteI know! You'd think they would plan better. Gah!
DeleteWe are having the same temperatures so we've been inside most of the time too.
ReplyDeleteIt's miserable. It's like living on the surface of the sun. Blegh.
