Things You Might Have Heard This Week In My Life.

It's been one of those weeks. Here are some random thoughts from it:

1. "Don’t use your words as weapons." I said this to Taters as she was beating Gunny over the head with her newest book order purchase.

2. On the topic of the ellusive Death Worms (as told by C-dub after watching a monster show on the Discovery Channel): Lesson #1 - NEVER lay on the sand as they might crawl out and eat your hand. Lesson #2 - NEVER put your head on the ground as they might eat your brain. Lesson #3 - NEVER lay down on the sand cause they might drag you into their Death Worm hole. I still don't know what the hell a Death Worm is and I'm thinking I better regulate his TV watching consumption.

3. "I'm too awergic to pick up toys, Momma." This was Gunny's reply when told to clean up the livingroom.

4. "Mom, anger is like taking a dump. It feels better when you let a little bit go at a time." Tater's explanation and scolding after I lost it when Gunny wrote in red felt pen on the hallway wall.

5. "I hope you're starting your Xanax and Valium consumption." The last words I said to Gunny's new "pre" preschool teacher. More on that topic to come...

6. "But Momma! I don't wanna let my poops swim in dah watah!" Potty training isn't going so well. Just ask Grandpa D who had to change Gunny four times in two hours due to some "scharting" issues. He's gonna end up going to his Senior Prom in Depends. I just know it.

7. "Tight jeans, double d's makin' me go 'whoo hoo' !" Include lots of spittle with the fake whistle at the end (Starstruck by 3OH3!). My innocent little boys are addicted to this terrible song thanks to a hunting trip with their father. C-dub has also developed a love for "Fists and Jager" by the Moonshine Bandits. I'm so proud. I'm working on his flannel shirts and torn Wranglers right now.

8. "I swear I'm gonna bring him back!" Screamed and texted at me as Gunny squished all the items in Hubby's Safeway cart. I ignored it and pretended I was single without children. Wrong number!

9. "You're not that old. I Googled you!" Told to me by a student in one of my classes. Lovely, it's great to know I'm not that old and I could be so easily Googled. Better check to make sure my early Playboy pics are gone...

10. "Mom! This costume would match your stripper shoes perfectly!" This statement was blurted out by Taters while Halloween costume shopping. I don't believe I've told that Vegas story yet. Stay tuned :-).

How was your week? Anything to add?

Love it all! You definitely have a way with words. I told ya, you need to write a book!!

I really enjoy reading your posts... and have recommended it to others.
I spent 20+ years in Humboldt and can relate to so much of what you write.

Apparently Gunny is afraid to the sharks will eat his "poops."

That one had me chuckling out loud.
