Morning Mayhem

Years ago, Bill Cosby had a sketch that talked about kids having brain damage.  At the time that it was released, I was just a kid myself and had NO CLUE what the heck he was talking about.  Now that I am a parent.... I fully understand!  Kids get side tracked very easily!!  You ask them to do something and they find 100 things to do along the way.

Each morning, I have to constantly remind my kids to "start eating", "eat the food, not play with it", "finish eating", "go brush your teeth" etc.   Teeth brushing is where we fall apart every morning.  Some how the walk up the stairs becomes the world's longest distraction!!!  This morning, I must have said.  GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH five times.  I finally stopped ironing clothes to see what was going on and I witness Miss Thang sitting in the hallway, reading from her "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book to her brother who was doing the "Stanky Legg", while he listened.  What part of brush your teeth means story time and act like you're at the  dance club? 

A Preschool Parents Dream.....

If you've ever had a child in daycare.. you can identify with this.....

Intuition & The Reckless Elephant

Intuition is amazing! I was with my family at the Carousel @ Columbus Commons. I was going to get on an elephant but thought, no, because of my sorority heritage! I choose a horse and the ride began .  Two minuets into the ride, the ELEPHANT snapped from the pole and crashed into my daughter's animal and then knocked down two more poles. I am so glad that I had a reason for not getting on the elephant! Thank God none of us were hurt!

Here is a picture of the Reckless Elephant!!! Notice how the pole is missing from the bottom!!

Life Story Left In A Voice Mail!

Does your mother do cRaZy things?  Mine does!  I get to hear her whole life story in a voicemail.

"Hi Carla, this is your Mom (as if I don't know her voice after 39 years). It's Tuesday at about 9:15 AM.  I didn't answer the phone when you called because I was in the bathroom and then I had to take the dog out again.   He was playing around and did not want to come back in.  I am about to go to the Dentist and then I am going to the grocery store.  Well, I'll I guess you're not answering, so I'll try your on your cell phone.  Okay..  Talk to you later!  Bye, bye!"

Does anyone want to take a guess where MY mania comes from!  LOL
