Oh - I AM SO BLOGGING THAT!!

First - I am as full as an egg. Och.

Second, my mother heard those six little words that anyone in my family shudders to hear (see title). See, as previously mentioned, I made lasagna tonight for dinner. I am a decent cook. I am not Julia Childs, but I usually enjoy cooking and therefore, don't do a half bad job. (Bearing in mind that my people would starve to death if I moved out, I am sure) On some items, I am somewhat renound ... my spaghetti, my omlettes, my roast beast.

So, I already said I had to make my own arfin' b-day dinner ... and I was all stoic and mature n' crap about it ... but that was before "the incident". We finished dinner and Mom was picking up dishes off the table and she says (as casual as can be) ... "I don't remember ... I mean, I don't recall it being 'bad' or anything, but I don't remember your lasagna being so ... good". SKANK!!! My eyes narrowed as she was sputtering, trying - to no avail - to suck that sentance back into her head. I said: "That's IT!!! You are SO gettin' blogged."

Noooooooooooo!!!! said she. See, she does not have the address of my blog page, and for good reason. I told her I had no privacy in my house, I was damn well gonna have some on line. Plus I needed somewhere to complain about her ... she didn't care for that a great deal. For those of you just tuning in, Mom moved in with us last fall (08) and it has had more downs than ups ... we are at a truce at present.

This conversation is going on around me as I am sitting here clicking away at the kitchen table:

Hubby: Hun, do you want lasagna for lunch tomorrow.
Me: Uhhhhh ... I guess ... do I have to decide right now?
Hubby: Well, I'll put it in a separate container if you do.
Me: Okay. Sure
Hubby: *pulls massive box shaped plastic bucket out of plastic drawer* This big enough?
Me: Ha Ha - Muther f*cker ... you very funny.
Hubby: *feins hurt look* mumbles under breath *digs out sandwich sized container*
Me: Thank you ...
Hubby: How many pieces do you want?
Me: ...insert incredulous tone - I don't know? I just ate a friggen trough fulla the stuff, can I decide tomorrow?
Hubby: No, I want to know now or you get NOTHING!!
Me: A piece and 5/8ths, please.
Me: Mom? How do you spell Stoic?
Hubby: S-T-O-I-C
Me: Mom?
Hubby: S-T-O-I-C!!
Me: Hunny, I love yer guts ... and you have the cutest little booty EVAH, but it'll be a cold day in hell when I ask YOU how to spell ... anything.
Hubby: Yeah ... I'll remember that if you ever need me as a life line ...
Mom: S-T-O-I-C
Me: Nevermind, I already looked it up.
Mom: Are you fricken typing this?
Mom to Hubby: She's typing this!! Make her stop typing!!
Hubby: Hun, stop blogging us already.
Me: Nuh-uh
Hubby: Stop typing ... you typed "stop typing" ... stop typing, "stop typing"


Okay, I guess this could get old quick.

In closing, my youngest offspring informed me tonight that toilet paper is useless. To which, I informed her that without toilet paper, our bums would stick to our panties ... I really don't know what posesses me to say stuff like that to my children - you just KNOW I'm gettin' a note home from pre-school tomorrow.

I think it would be wise to go and sit still somewhere now ... Mom and hubby are trying to find an email Mom lost on her laptop ... the comedic fodder is going to make my head explode in a minute if I don't leave soon.

I want some lasagna!!! And why on earth would she decide that toilet paper is useless? I'm flabbergasted on that one. It has sooo many uses.

I cannot even imagine having my mom live with me. I love her to pieces but I think that would get old way quick. You're so brave. Those are dreaded words in my house too. Hehe...the power we wield..

OMG! My family and friends tell me that too! "Don't blog this!" Hmmm . . . Having blackmail on your side is kind of fun, no? :)

From One Mother, to Another

(Written Nov 29, 2022 ~ Still relevant... picking up July 20, 2023)  It's been a while.  I mean... I've typed out a whole bunch of words... over and over again... but I've been so stuck.  I had a meeting with one of the executives I support in my current position this morning. She was telling me that she's leaving the company.  She's an amazing woman. Her credentials and education are so far beyond impressive, I can't even describe... but today, she said that she was going to take a beat before moving into a new role... and spend some time with her kids.  She has two and they're young.  Her comment was that (I'm never going to get the wording right on this) she isn't the 'kind of mom that I am'. That she isn't 'there' to put them to bed and she isn't 'involved' in their day to day like I am. That her mother recently reminded her of the fact that they grow up... 'with or without you'.  I have a great deal of res

This is dedicated to the one(s) I love .... (gotta sing it)

Yesterday was my 37th birthday. I was sick for the entire day and mighty worried I was in for a pretty miserable few days. I went to work and did my thing (I know I should have stayed home, but that is not the sort of place I work in) and the gals at my office threw a little lunch time party for me, complete with chinese food and cake ... and card and song and even a gift certificate for a hair-do at a local salon (okay - so you know your "do" is a "don't" when you get a certificate like this from your co-workers... unclench, Eyvi - I know I've been bitching about my hair for months ... I'm just funnin'). To them, I say TYVM ... for making me gain 5 more pounds... no, I'm kiddin' again - I am so touched. Thanks guys - you ROCK! I don't plan to spend a whole bunch of time yaking about the 'day' itself. It's just that birthdays have a tendancy to cause somewhat of a retrospective thought path ... especially when one is campe

I know I have been a slacker on the fun MeMe's lately. I thought perhaps I might try to rectify this little problem and join in today with Chiefy and her highly fun theme. Without further ado: On Monday night, my hubs came home from work at his usual 10:30(ish) pm. I had recently awoken in my daughter's bed and come downstairs to watch one of my most fav shows (The Big Bang Theory ... don't judge me - it is funny!) ... I had fallen into a sound stupor while trying to get my brats beautiful darlings to go to sleep and I was barely coherent. My hubs had come in and then disappeared for a little while ... I thought it odd, but didn't dwell as my show was starting. When he finally came into the living room  with his plate of dinner, (yes, I save him a plate from our dinner to eat when he gets home) he asked me how I was feeling. I found that odd. I said: "Why?" in a highly suspicious tone. He didn't say anything else until the next commercial break. Hub
