Tales from a Bad Mommy - Episode 1

By -
Episode 1 because I'm SURE things like this will happen again...

Me: *cringes and prepares to swerve out of the turning lane as the big truck coming toward us in our lane finally gets back on his side of the line when he looks up from whatever the hell he was doing on the floor* You dumbass, maybe you should watch the road!!!

Nicky: *from the back seat* Mommy, was that guy a dumbass?

Me: *oops* Nicky, that's not a nice word. Mommy shouldn't have said it. But yes...

My mom taught me all sorts of interesting words while driving, LOL. But I shouldn't repeat that story... (But you all know the horn on my old car barely worked from her honking it all the time!)

So that may be my favorite pejorative to use of all time. Wyatt picked it up from my husband since I was able to curb my wicked tongue before he caught on to me. But once the damage was done we spent LIKE SIX months trying to fix him. Oh. IT WAS AWFUL.

Hey L,
I got a note from the Cupcake Prov. that her package came back undelivered. I am wondering if you could resend me your address so you can get your apron!!

Yea, you should hear Ladybug running around repeating some of the stuff I let slip out. When she says it she sounds just like me too. As soon as it comes out of her mouth, Shannon looks at me and I hang my head in shame. I have forgotten so much since my kids were little parrots.

13 of my Favorite Quotes from Fiona O'Sithein I'm too darn sleepy to be creative tonight so I'm drawing on my ready-made list. Not to be confused with the one I did about the first lines of the chapters in Fiona. Those weren't nearly my favorites. Is it narcissistic to have favorite quotes that you wrote yourself? When I'm giggling my head off at something I wrote, my husband always looks at me kinda funny. Oh, well if it is, then here is me reveling in narcissism. :-D May you enjoy them as much as I do. 1. Fiona: “What? You think just because I don’t have any magic like my brother or super strength like you people that I’m useless?” 2. Bonnie: “He’s not a heretic, is he?” Fiona: “Isn’t everyone these days?” 3. Fiona: “No one wants to be the one to deflower the king’s daughter.” 4. Fiona: “Yes, Beltran, you’re a vampire. How could anyone forget it when you’re reminding them of it ten times a day? You are the only vampire I know who seems to obsess ab...

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c...

Well, I had been planning on putting up 13 pictures from my vacation, but my computer crashed yesterday and has to go to the doctor. I hope they can fix it, because I haven't backed up those 450 pictures I took. :-( I did upload all the really cute ones of Nicky to snapfish though, so at least there is that. This brings me to the question I have for y'all...Does anyone have a good gremlin banishing ritual they would like to share with me??? Just this week, my fridge, my car and my computer have all stopped working. The car was just a battery problem, and it has been replaced. I still don't know what is wrong with the computer or the fridge yet though. Without pictures but still in honor of my vacation... 13 Things I Did in Denmark Fed the ducks, swans, and geese at Damhus Lake. Nicky loved this! He was absolutely entranced by the birds. His favorite part (and keep in mind, he is a boy) was throwing the bread so that it landed on the swans back and then laughing hyst...
