Life as we know it

A little bit of everything that my life has to offer.

Life's little hang-ups...or hangers.

Recently my boys have seen the new movie Flushed Away Big Daddy actually bought them the DVD so as we all know how kids watch movies...we have seen Flushed Away about 3,679 times.

If your a thorough blog reader of mine you do realize that my two sons find any form of under ware or undies entertaining and amusing. Amusing enough that sometimes they wear
Two pairs at one time.

In the movie Flushed Away the boys think the funniest part is when Roddy holds up a pair of women's under ware and sings "and the lady wears big undies"


So, me being the hip Mother I try to be, last night as I was folding laundry I held up a pair of Big Daddy's undies and sang the little tune. The boys enjoyed my first showing and laughed ferociously. I proceeded to do it with each family members undies. The boys can dish but they can't take and each of them got offended when I held up their undies on display. To balance out my act I topped the event off with my own undies...however.... I had no undies left to fold, only a bra. So, I sang it about my bra.

Joseph then busts out laughing. He then says to me "MOM!!! That's not undies!! That's your boobie hanger!"

I don't know much about what happened after that as my medical attention was to Big Daddy. He almost needed rescue breathing after falling off the couch and laughing so hard he couldn't intake air.

Boobie hanger.... only my child would come up with that one.

Old habits

As the old saying goes "old habits die hard" its true. It's really true! I didn't realize how true until I went to buy some "supplies" the other day.

Addie was out of diapers and wipes. Essentials really when you have a baby. So, as I was at Extra Foods picking up a box of diapers, yes a box, I mean why not buy the biggest mondo box they have they'll get used (even though I feel my earthy side cringe each time I purchase more disposable diapers).

I head up to the till with my reusable grocery bags and when the clerk hands me my receipt I cram it into the handle of the diaper box. If anyone has ever purchased a case of beer before you know what I mean. I had a flashback from my last encounter at the liquor store.

Who would have thought that buying all those cases of beer in my day would lead me to a practical place to put my receipt when I purchase diapers. It's a good thing I bought all that beer or I would have been lost with what to do with my receipt.
