You Like Me!

My new BFF Sonia over at ...and the pursuit of happiness, who is currently in my top 5 must read daily list has bestowed upon me a nomination for the Rockin' Girl Blogger award.  And I quote...

"she (being me) ...writes clever and witty posts and I think is a horribly undiscovered talent who will morph into a megablogger and leave us in her dust soon, very funny and interesting chick!"

Woot, woot!!  I am so honored, seriously.  This is a big deal coming from Sonia who writes a pretty righteous blog herself. 

Back at the ranch.  I am unloading boxes of food for our lunches on stay home days.  Stay home days = Modern Pre-schooler is home and Modern Toddler and I get to play with her all day.  These two days a week are the days we live for cause we have so much fun together.  Not Hallmark fun, more like keeping your sister company while I get few things done so Modern Daddy does not think I sit around watching the new huge TV occasionally throwing fruit and nuts at the animals.  I just called my kids animals.  Might wanna rethink that Rockin Girl Blogger thing. 

Stay home day lunches...I like serving hot lunches around here cause no one really seems to dig on the sandwiches and cold stuff.  We are a pasta and meat family.  So naturally I am a fan of the Hamburger and Tuna helpers.  As I unpack each box Modern Pre-schooler asks what they are called.  I explained.  Modern Pre-schooler now wants to know who is going to help me make it.  I may not have fully explained the merits of the hot lunch plan.

So, there are certain blogs I cannot read without getting insanely jealous.  All that happiness and success.  Please.  Could I be more shallow?  I mean, at least 6 other people think I am clever and witty, 7 if you count my mom but that is more of a legal obligation.  But the thing is, I have these ridiculously normal kids who do not stick things in their noses, put foreign objects in the dryer or even color on the walls.  Except this one single episode with an orange crayon and Modern Toddler's budding artistic talent.  Hardly witty or clever material.  Modern Pre-schooler often mistakes the word Primary for Cranberry, I like that one.  Modern Toddler does like to swish things around in the potty if we leave the seat up, again pretty average toddler stuff.  Not sure if any of this qualifies as horribly undiscovered, although there was this one time when I got a lot of hugs from Mormons and another time when my washing machine spun itself into space and is now washing NASA astronaut's space suits in Florida.  That is interesting. 

Our lifestyle largely depends on what kind of medication I am taking and how well it is working.  It's a crap shoot really, we never know where the Mommy roller coaster will take us today.  Once I completely forgot my husband's instructions and ruined a great pot of chicken soup.  The noodle catastrophe, as we lovingly refer to it now.  I often forget things, little details like leaving wet clothes in the NASA space machine or the fact that shaking the bleach and spilling it can turn a nice black shirt kind of reddish-orange.  Like in an artistic way though.  I still work awfully hard to assure that my parents never get a good night's sleep and if that is not interesting enough for ya, I also love spinach in Macaroni and Cheese.
