So by request of suzie I took a picture of under my sofa cushion....Let me start by saying, this does in by no means reflect what my house looks like, at least I hope to God not..
I will identify some objects I noted in the midst of the mess...I see a pair of socks, a plastic bag a newspaper came in, a sippy cup in the back left corner, and a little tiny Dora doll in the back their in the middle, note her pink shirt and blue shorts....
Yes, this would make you think I am a slob, which may not be far from the truth....And the really sad thing is....After I took the cushions off to snap this Kodak moment, I did not clean it out, rather I just put the cousins back on..
I will now show you another photo of why I am a big fat loser.....I took the lights and ornaments off my tree on New years day, but we have negected to do the " actual removal of the dead tree from my dwelling"
See, aint I a pathetic excuse for a mortal being? Yes I thought so.
*******************
In a few short hours we will be taking Meg Ryan spawn to the pediatric cardiologist..So please hold a good thought for her..I will update you Wednesday.....And please excuse my absence if I can not reply to your comments..I am NOT ignoring you..You know where I am:)
************************
Meltdown spawn got grounded Monday. He is grounded for 3 days to his room. This may seem like torture for a young lad, but he was getting a bit out of hand with his out in public behavior, so I put my foot down.
After a few hours I hear him fidgeting in the bathroom, I ask him what he was doing and he told me to come in there...
The boy cleaned the bathroom.
So I told him that since he did such a good job with that, that maybe he should think about cleaning his room as he has 3 whole days to sit in there, and he might as well sit in a clean room afterall.
After an hour he calls me in there.
The room is clean, even under the bed.
I tell him he did a good job.
ME: " ok, this looks good, I am proud of you, but your still grounded"
HIM: " dang it, why cant we all get along? It is Martin Luther King day for petes sake"
yea, nice try son

Too funny!!! Too funny about the sofa and the Christmas tree. Too funny about MD spawn's cleaning spree and 'why can't we get along.' Too funny your Tuesday post came out on Monday. Last but not least, too funny I'm posting without being made to feel guily first! Too funny all around!
Just tammy,
teehee...well I knew I wouldnt have time in the morning to compose a wonderful well written post..so I fiugre I will write my crap now:)
so your saying I make you feel guilty?..oh no, that aint good..but you no you love it:)
ROTFLMAO at your son - I am guessing he thought you would let him off the hook because he cleaned... it worked on my mom... well at least for my oldest sister...
I can't take the cushions off my couch - thank Gawd.
Hope the appointment goes well - I am sure it will be nothing...
well, he does have a point. MLK was a proponent of us all getting along, but apparently you're a hard a$$
sooooooo, i'm left to wonder what the heck he did in public, that warranted this punishment. did he flip someone off? did he moon someone?
I LOVE your couch. well, i have to hand it to you. the prize that is. the award for yuckiest couch.
i'll see what i have laying around under my bed to send you. but then i'd need you address so you'd have to put aside all your paranoia's and give it to me. i'll leave that ball in your court
may God go with you on your trip tomorrow, and He will make it okay. now if he doesn't don't blame me. i'm only putting in a good word.
Momma,
nope I dont let them off that easy..LAMO..my cushions are to get off, they are valcroed on, but I was curiose myself as to what was under there..haha
suzie,
you see, my son is a perfect angel at home, but you get him out in public and he is a monster, only as of late...my mom took him to the landry mat today and I guess he was a little hyper, and wouldnt listen, and he acts this way in sunday school too..I am not sure whats wrong with that kid..
oh no, so I had the grossest couch? I am honored..I have 3 small kids who put crap under there when they are too lazy to put it where it belongs..haha
thanks, I am sure everything will be fine, and I know you dont work for the Big man, so I wont hold anything against you:)
coolchic,
glad you enjoyed my most embarassing kodak moments..:)
oh crap I was gonna link you to prove to you that I think I got it, and to tell everyone you showed me..damn it..sorry, my mind is in other places, please forgive me:-)
I was just rollin over your sons attempts at getting ungrounded. But I've gotta tell ya... I'm the BIGGEST pushover when it comes to making groundings stick. Even when hubby grounds those kids they know all the have to do is come downstairs on their own and "sincerely appologize" for what they've done, and Mom will "make him" unground them! LOL Oh yeah! They've got me WRAPPED!!! lmao This is going to change... unknown to THEM! lol Great post girly! And you know that tons of good vibes coming your way for tomorrow!
LOL! I got new couches this year from hubby so right now, mine are clean b/c I'm obsessive that way...but check in a year or two and goodness knows what you will find!:)
LOL about Meltdown spawn. My boys are the opposite....perfect kids in public but lunatics at home. There just is no balance I guess!
I'll be thinking of you all as you go thru the Dr routine.
HAHAH! Can't blame the boy for trying!!!
Shangie
Your son has wisdom beyond his years, too bad his Mommy had way more and has been there done that so she aint falling for it :)> yes, let us know about your daughter ok. Your couch isn't that bad, it is all kid stuff, which means, it isn't your fault :). I just cleaned mine out because whenever our niece stays with us, she always takes the cushions off the couch and sleeps on the floor in our sons room or wherever she doesn't have to be alone :).
melis,
I use to be a pushover, then I watchen nanny 911 one to many times..haha
thanks for the vibes:)
dottie,
sad thig is my couch is only bout a year old..and see whats happens.LMOA
shangie,
no, you can blame him for giving it the ole collge try:)
kish,
well he seems to think he is pretty wise..hahahaha
but if I was a good housekeeper, I would make sure the kids dont throw their crap in there right?...teehee
kylz,
yes he sure did..haha
and thank you:-)
Can I borrow your son? My house needs some cleaning! He's just too funny!
Good luck at the doc office. Make sure you let us know how everything turns out!
denise,
sure..you cna have my son if I can live in florida..haha..sounds like a fair trade to me:)
my couch used to look just like this! then we bought a new one and i've been pretty O/C about vacuuming it weekly.... :) Nothing like spending $2 Grand to make you take care of it! ;)
OMG rofl...can't we all just get along?
Man, he is definitely your kid. Funny must run in the family!
mrs.diamond,
i just bought this couch last year..spent about the same amount..and look what happend..haha
thanks for stopping by, please come again.
Anne,
well I must say I am the funniest one, but if you ask someone else, they may not agree..haha
It looks like my sofa!! I am a stickler for being clean on the outside, but if you check my cushions or run a finger along my bookcase or something, you would probably be disgusted by me too!! lol
And with your son, lol, that is so funny "can't we all just get along??" lol sounds like something my daughter would say. She would also be the one to try to get out of a grounding by doing good deeds!! But I also try to stick with the punishment because she walks all over us as it is, that's one thing I will not budge on!! Good job!! lol
I hope all goes well at the cardiologist. BTDT with one of my children as well.
Good job holding your ground with MDS. Perhaps you need my Brad around to help you with the tree. The one year I bought a tree, I went to work New Years day I came home and it was gone. He hated it. Good luck at the Dr.s today.
That's funny that you just covered all the crap under those cushions back up. Out of sight, out of mind.
Best wishes to you all regarding Meg Ryan Spawn.
Good thoughts, good thoughts, good thoughts.....
Thanks for the laugh with your tree. That is pretty bad honey :)
And, thanks kissing spawn for making me laugh too. He had a dream alright, a dream to not be grounded :)
