Husband Down.

2009-01-28T14:24:00.000-05:00

Husband Down

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart.

The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.

'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife.
'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans,' he replies.

'Put them back, we can't afford them,' demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.

A few aisles further on the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.

'What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband.
'It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,' replies the wife.

Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price.'

On the PA system:
'Cleanup needed on aisle 25, we have a husband down.'

For the Guys
--------------------
Why Some Men Have Dogs And Not Wives
--------------------
1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.

2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.

3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.

4. A dog's parents never visit.

5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.

6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day.

7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk.

8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.

9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, 'If I died, would you get another dog?'

10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.

11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.

12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting.

13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.And last, but not least:

14. If your dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

And now for the gals.
------------------------
Vibrators vs men!!!

A vibrator doesn't have an orgasm first and then just stop "vibrating."
Vibrators are never too busy watching the game on tv.
Batteries are cheaper than pick up trucks!!
When we're done with them we can stuff them back in the drawer and not hear from them until we're ready.
It's happy to keep going until we're satisfied.
We can get a bigger one or one that has better options whenever we want without being called a slut.
Position is your choice, not his.
It always is hard.
It doesn't leave a mess behind.
You don't have to wear an ill fitting teddy to excite it.
It doesn't care that you gained 10 lbs.
It doesn't fall asleep and snore in your ear afterwards.
You don't have to clean up the apartment before bringing it home.
Vibrators are better then men because ... they don't get tired after the first time :-)
They never poke you in the back in the morning to see if you are in the mood.
Vibrators are better then men because in the morning you don't have to fix it breakfast.
Safe sex without a rubber
A couple batteries and you don't have to put up with the shit, just turn it off when you get done with it !
As long as you have a new pack of energizers the vibrator can keep going and going and going! (while you keep coming and coming!)
Vibrators are portable so you can do it anytime, anywhere you want!!
They don't burp, fart, belch or fall asleep on you.
You don't have to dress up for your vibrator.
You can show it off to your friends.
They never wake up at 4 a.m. asking for another one
It doesn't leave a wet spot. (again..it might not.. but then it doesn't make you sleep in it)
It can be stashed away in a drawer.
It doesn't have a mother!!
It doesn't require "a little lip action" to get hard.
You know exactly where it's been.
Vibrators don't care if you get crumbs in the bed.
They never come before you do.

And thats when the fight started

2009-01-10T07:50:00.002-05:00

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?" "No," she answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying "Yes." So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started....
*********

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started...

*********

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.' I bought her a scale. And then the fight started...

*********

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive... so, I took her to a gas station. And then the fight started...

*********

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.' And then the fight started...

*********

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' 'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And then the fight started...

*********

I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?" "Nah, she can order for herself." And then the fight started...

*********

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.' And then the fight started.....

*********

I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95. Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95. I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream. And then the fight started....

*********

My wife asked me if a certain dress made her butt look big. I told her not as much as the dress she wore yesterday And then the fight started.....

*********

A man and a woman were asleep like two innocent babies. Suddenly, at 3 o'clock in the morning, a loud noise came from outside. The woman, bewildered, jumped up from the bed and yelled at the man 'Holy crap. That must be my husband!' So the man jumped out of the bed; scared and naked jumped out the window. He smashed himself on the ground, ran through a thorn bush and to his car as fast as he could go. A few minutes later he returned and went up to the bedroom and screamed at the woman, 'I AM your husband!' The woman yelled back, 'Yeah, then why were you running?' And then the fight started.....

*********

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.' My loving wife of 10 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?' And then the fight started ...

*********

I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary? " It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?" And that's when the fight started....

*********

The year before last, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift.The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.When she asked me why, he replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"And that's when the fight started.....

Something pretty creepy

2008-08-02T07:58:00.001-04:00

http://www.ghoststudy.com/fresh.html

Someone is starting to walk

2008-07-26T10:24:00.002-04:00

He's up to six steps at a time. And he's trying to run as well!

The little bugger also has descovered TV shows. His favorite is Blues clues-and the sad thing is its going away! You cant get anything blues clues much anymore, all teh stores have discontinued it....we wanted to do his first birthday in it.

The mom test

2008-07-02T07:56:00.001-04:00

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter.

She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth.

I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.

'Why?' my daughter asked.

'Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs,' I replied.

At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart.'

I was thinking quickly. 'All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom.'

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. 'OH...I get it!' she beamed, 'So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad.'

''Exactly,' I replied back with a big smile on my face.

Its a bird, its a plane

2008-06-25T07:10:00.002-04:00

Its spidergirl!

Thats he new obsession. Move over barbie, get out of the way disney princesses! Sarah saw one day on TV spiderman and now all she wants to watch and see is superheros. Spiderman, batman, superman, ironman....hulk.

The Wal-Mart incident

2008-05-26T16:23:00.003-04:00

Ok Kellie, you win. Wal-Mart is worse than Target. There, said it, happy?

Generally speaking our Target is pretty bad, but the other day I was out getting, dessert stuff for me and the mrs and there was an incident. One isle over, at the self check out, there was this 40-50 year old, I'd like to say adult, but rather child, literally flipping out. On some poor other women.

When I say flipping out, I mean when I commented to the guy in front of me with the words "wow, my 5 year acts better than her" and he agrees, you know its bad. She was yelling and screaming at this other women, and threating to spit on her and other stuff....

Oh and the second video is for the dads....

Suprise!

2008-03-04T18:42:00.002-05:00

We're such tewrrible parents. We told sarah she couldnt have a birthday party with her friends because she's going to Flordia and perhaps Disney World.

Then go behind her back and book a suprise birthday party with her friends at McDonald's. And we told her that we have a play date with one of her friends there for dinner....

So we get there, and she's wondering why there is a party set up, and then really wondered when her friend showed up a present....her face was priceless when we told her it was a party for her....

Little monster

2008-02-16T16:07:00.002-05:00

Whoever said boys and girls are different wasnt kidding. Christopher is a little monster.

His temperment is WAY different from sarah's. She was fairly even tempered. Christopher? Has a temper. From teh day he was born the nurses said he has a temper and he shows it. He misses his mommy....when she's gone for a bit and comes home? Screams and cries the moment he sees her till Kim picks him up.

Doesnt like something? Lets it be known. Loudly.

He's now mobile. But only on his terms. He HATES his stomach. So he lies on his back, arches his body with his stomach in the air and shoves his feet and scoots.

And today? Sarah wouldnt listen so she went to time out....and she's crying and whining in time out and we're ignoring her. Except Christopher. Who is LAUGHING at her. You can clearly see thats what he's doing....

He's a monster.

Parenting

2008-02-13T23:32:00.002-05:00

Daddy parenting. Lately sarah's been getting a bit tougher to deal with...guess thats that getting older thing.

Right now its that "I'm scared" every night at bed time. So.....when she hears a noise, daddy comes into the bedroom and sits down and explains what the noise is. Even if I have no idea, I make stuff up. Like that noise you hear above you, on the attic or roof? Baby squirels giving each other piggy back rides.....most of the time I know what it is, but if I dont? Make stuff up.....:D

School.....sarah's doing well. Had an incident on the bus, a BOY(man boys are bad), was telling her about something and blood coming out of their eyes and other stuff.....what the heck are his parents doing? Letting him watch stuff like that.

So the mrs calls the school. And the principal(who does rock), had her point out the boy, took them both to the office and sat them down and had a talk. The boy eventually confessed, and was made to apologize...and sarah said "thats ok", to which the principal said "no sarah, thats not ok. When some one says things you dont like you have to use your strong woman voice and tell them no."

Christopher? He's fine. a comlpete boy, if you know what I mean. Finally is rolling over BOTH ways.....

No good deed goes unpunished.

2008-02-09T11:10:00.001-05:00

Sarah and I went for a walk yesterday. Just daddy and daughter....we needed a pencil sharpener for her work, so we stopped in Rite Aide...and of course she asked for stuff and I said no.

More asking and I said no....but I said you could pick out a toy for Christopher. Because you know, he's new and hasnt gotten alot of presents. She liked that idea.

Lots of toys to choose form but we settled on a plushie loking calculator with a mirror type surface that he can look in, and press the buttons and it makes noises. SO we get home and open it and give it to him and he likes the mirror and we press the buttons....

And he cries and screams.

Thinking he had gas or something we try again. He cries and screams.....a third time confirms it.....

He hates the toy. It makes him cry.....

Finally!

2008-01-26T16:20:00.000-05:00

The fat little pig finally rolled over yesterday, while both daddy and mommy watched inthe morning. He was on his stomach(which he hates) and rolled himself onto his back. We put him back and he did it again! Now he does it all the time as a game....but dont cheer him, because it scares him....

Little Christopher's first word

2008-01-23T21:03:00.000-05:00

Was spoken today at teh supermarket and folks around him clearly heard:

Momma.

Something precious

2008-01-19T22:48:00.000-05:00

Or rather two somethings precious......

Had a scare the other day.

2008-01-13T19:19:00.001-05:00

Had a scare at walmart today. Family shopping trip.

You know shopping carts? There the frame with wheels, then the cart itself thats attacked to the wheel frame.

Well....christopher was in his car seat in the seat part, just sitting in his carseat unstrapped.....and the metal bars holding the cart part in the rear gave way....causing the back of teh cart to collapse.

Luckily mommy was there to keep christopher ok, plus the pack of paper towels underneath prevented it from coming all the way out. Otherwise....dump the baby out.

One assossiate came out almost immediately....apparantly the caught it on camera.....

I really, really, really hate Target.

2008-01-12T10:32:00.001-05:00

I know, I know., Some of you absolutely LOVE Target. Hell some of you wont even move because your so close to Target that its 180 seconds away.

BUT, I must have the Ghetto Target or something, or the rejected one. Because I get nothing but problems at mine. Seriously, my wife sent me out for ink for the printed, and Walmart didn't have it they were out, so I decided to go to Target against my better judgement rather than the supply store.....and what happens you ask?

I get "mugged" in the parking lot by a religious type and preached to and try to converted! Seriously, I get to my car and he is in the next car sitting there, like he's stalking people, and gets out as I unlock the door and starts with "I know you weren't expecting this..."

Of course not! Who expects to get preached to in a Target parking lot!

I do NOT have these problems at Walmart, let me tell you.....

I SO hate Target.

I really, really, really hate Target.

2008-01-12T10:32:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year!

2008-01-01T07:35:00.000-05:00

And so we quietly let the new year in this year....I cooked up a nice meal for the mrs, a nice shrimp pasta recipe that is REAL simple, just prep takes a bit longer than the actual cooking.

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
12 oz. Shrimp - Cleaned & Deveined
2 Garlic Cloves - Finely Chopped
1/3 Cup Brandy
4 Cups Canned Tomatoes - Chopped
2-3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
1 Pound of Spaghetti
1 Small Bunch of Fresh Parsley - Finely Chopped
Salt & Pepper -
To Taste Dash of Red Pepper Flakes

Heat oil in heavy skillet over medium heat. Put pasta on to cook while doing this. Add shrimp and cook 1-2 minutes until pink, then remove into a separate dish. Add garlic & stir once or twice. Next, add the brandy and cook till reduced by half. Add tomatoes, salt & pepper & red pepper flakes, and cook uncovered over medium heat 5-6 minutes. Stir in the cream, lower heat & mix in shrimp just until just heated through. Mix shrimp sauce with cooked pasta, and serve with parsley sprinkled over top.

Simple and easy. I had to stop and buy a bottle of brandy....and picked up a bottle of red wine. Then a nice quiet evening....then to bed early.....

How was YOUR new year?

wii

2007-12-13T21:52:00.000-05:00

The mrs asked, and recieved what our couple gift for christmas:

A wii.

Right now we finally broke down and opened it up tonight and have started it. Its alot of fun...

More later....

Awesome movie!

2007-12-12T19:55:00.000-05:00

The mrs got free passes to see 'Enchanted' in the theatre Sunday. So, one of us was going to take Sarah to see it, ona school night since it only has 2 more nights left in the theatre. Kim wanted to go...but since its Christopher's bed time and still a bit nudgy...I took her.

So after work I zip home and pick up the munchkin and head to the theatre. AFter gummy bears, water, popcorn and other assorted munchies....we head in.

What was great was....its just the two of us in the whole theatre...so we could talk as loud as we want, throw popcorn at each other and move around to other seats at will(we started in the back, then sat on teh stairs, then all the way to the front).

In a word...its an awesome movie. Its funny, she loved it(the witch and dragon scared her a bit) but got everything and its even a pretty good date movie....

I highly recommend it!

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-10T12:24:00.000-05:00

Since I dont have nearly enough to send out(nor do I have ll your addresses) this will have to do.

MerryChristmas!

(and yes the kids are still stuffy and given us their damned cold!)

Double the pain!

2007-12-03T22:45:00.000-05:00

We have two sick kids. With two different peds, which is another story. Poor mrs had to drag one to one doctor, then one to another.

Both have some kind of chest cold, cough. Sarah's turned into croop. Christopher, on teh otehr hand, has what the medical journals call....Happy Wheezer. yes that is a medical note. Apparantly he's happpy, but his lungs are wheezing from the cold.....

Its been a LONG couple of nights.....

Happy Thanksgiving!

2007-11-23T08:50:00.000-05:00

It was great! We went over my parents. We had a contest, who could make the best dessert between me, kim, and my father. I ended up winning with a peach dump cake. Kim's punkin pie was pretty good, but dad's apple pie, the pie part was great, the dough was like a rock. I think I won.

It was WARM. Like 65 degrees, so lots of outside games. The two younger brothers(17 and 21) slpet in, but dad, myself and my other brother joe(33) were out back shooting all sorts of stuff with the 22, till he brought out the shotguns and we started skeet shooting....lots of fun.Then the lazy buggers got up and we played basket ball with teh 4 of us and sarah.

More fun and games.

Then lots of eating and sarah had lots of games of candyland....

Everyone was tired, but lots of fun was had. And it was warm which helped!

Pictures to follow.

Secret hiding spot

2007-11-20T19:31:00.001-05:00

We removed a cabinet in preperation for a dishwasher. Someone decided its a nice cave, and insisted she have her dinner there. So what the heck, as long as she eats, what do I care where she eats then?

Freedom!

2007-11-11T22:53:00.001-05:00

Well.....the mrs left me. and took to kids.

Relax, their just on a short vacation. *grin*

They went up to Buffalo with a friend and did some visiting, see the falls and did stuff. I'm hope working and trying to get some housework done.

Its nice to do whatever.......but frankly? I'm bored. Its too quiet. And I miss them......

I cant see wanting to be single anymore.....they'll be home soon. Left Friday, back Tuesday.

The power of imagination

2007-11-04T10:33:00.000-05:00

I'm not sure what game she is playing, but it involves colored pencils and the cracks in the floor and moving them around......she's got such a good imagination....

Halloween fun

Following a fellow bloggers advice for horiztonal parenting.

So who you gonna call?

2007-10-14T08:30:00.000-04:00

Sarah wanted to go play outside after dinner...since our yard is fenced in...and even though its dark, we said ok with the outside light.

She's outside 30 seconds and comes running back in and I'm standing there in the kitchen doing dishes...and she says "Daddy there's ghosts outside!"

"oh. ok. here, take my particle accelerator...."

Sarah "Whats that? Do you shoot them?"

"yup. and then you capture them in this box...." hands off the capture devise...

Sarah "cooool. I'm going to get them!"

"wait, here you need your nuclear powered back pack..." puts that on...

Sarah turns back "but daddy, ghosts don't hit do they" with a bit of concern...

"nope but they SLIME you" as I had been doing dishes...my hands were wet...and rubbed them on her face...she giggled.

She went out to play much happier...

Beauty and the Beast

2007-10-10T17:54:00.000-04:00

A fairy princess and a little stinker(skunk). Or beauty and the beast as I call them. We went to a car show that had a costume contest for the kids. It was nice. Everyone comment how cuet the little stinker costume was, and sarah had her own fan club. A little boy dragged his father over to sarah, because he HAD to see the fairy princess. And then a older girl came over and made friends with sarah, and wanted to stick with sarah and us and just about ditched her parents!

All in all fun was had.

As someone noticed

2007-10-08T18:45:00.000-04:00

As one of my asute reader noticed, yes, my birthday was a couple of days ago, before our anniversary. September 29th, I'm 35 years young!

One home made cake!

And a bit of help blwoing out the candles....

Happy anniversary.

2007-10-05T08:01:00.000-04:00

Our anniversary always falls a couple days after my birthday. 5 days to be exact.

We've been married 9 years yesterday. She got a big box of Godiva chocolate....Due to a small 7 week old, we didn't go out. Getting them to bed was a challenge, but afterwards we had some pie and settled down for the night....

Hello again

2007-09-25T19:28:00.000-04:00

Long time no post, its been busy. Havent forgotten about you.

Christopher is getting big. Went to the doctor's today. Almost 10 pounds...even the doctor had to weigh him twice, thinking the scale was broken. Christopher, has been having trouble sleeping, but mommy bought something to let him sleep on his side and he's been doing better.

Then there is Sarah. Sweet, darling Sarah, who apparantly without warning, turned in to a teenager. Defiant streak has hit. Bad. Sometime not even punishment helps.

So how's it going with you?

Sorry, been busy...to hold you over

Pouncing Lessons

2007-09-14T12:32:00.000-04:00

Since I don't have any new pictures at the moment, I'll give you the story of Sarah's bedtime the other night.....Pouncing lessons.

So after getting ready for bed, and wanting daddy to read the story, she climbs into bed and chooses the 'Lion King' book for bedtime. Since its a chapter book, we read a chapter a night. Last night was chapter 3.As I'm reading she asks "whats this word daddy?" That's called pouncing dear. "Whats pouncing?" Go over there and I'll show you.So she does and daddy goes and hides and she wonders where I am....and I creep up to her and POUNCE and gently tackle her to the floor...and she giggles......then back to bed. So when the story is resumed she asked "daddy, can you teach me how to pounce?" Only if you go right to sleep...so she did.

The next morning she's up early, and we go downstairs and she's on the floor coloring and watching TV.....and daddy sneaks up behind her and Pounces on her, tickling her for a bit before I told her "lesson number one, you have to sneak up on your target...." she laughed.....

I SO am going to regret pouncing lessons when she goes back to school Monday....But we're on lesson two of her pouncing lessons now....

Someone's first bath....and he likes it.

And someone likes to help....

Sigh

2007-08-31T18:56:00.001-04:00

The Pirate minnie mouse is on the mend. It is Impentago, and she's been on the meds and its healing and going away. She still has to stay away from her brother....but its clearing up nicely....

Thanks all!

Good and Bad

2007-08-28T18:58:00.000-04:00

First, as you see, The good. He's doing well, sleeping 3-4 hours at night so nights for the most part, we're able to get sleep. He's doing well.

Now the bad news. Sarah has a rash. At first we didn't think it was much....then it spread. Then we took her to the doctors, and gave us a fright. It is either impetigo...which is the semi-good thing or Herpes, which is a bad thing. Impetigo is only semi-good, as if it spreads anymore...she has to go to the hospital and get IV antibiotics......if its Herpes....it could turn into meningitis if Christopher catches it and goes to his brain and kill him.....

Even worse...Sarah's and ONLY Sarah's medical insurance has lapsed due to paperwork snafu....one screaming mommy bear later and yes its their fault...Their recorded phone calls show it. But she still wont be covered till Oct. But they will reimburse for 3 months prior....gee thanks.

Then it gets worse. The pharmacy only 2 of the three meds for Impetigo. They didnt have the Herpes one......and its 1/2 an hour till closing.....so we roll the dice and try and get it the next day after 2pm......

So today....they don't have it. They will have it tomorrow.....no good. Doctor sends the prescription else where and we have it.

Better news is.....it looks like it was Impetigo....it looks clearing up. But cross your fingers....

Alright already

2007-08-21T21:13:00.000-04:00

Sheesh, new pictures as requested.

One week Old

2007-08-21T10:23:00.000-04:00

Ok ok, now he's eight days, but yesterday he's was one week old....he's still a peanut.

His docotor's appointment was good. He did so well the doctor doesnt want to see him for a month, rather than two weeks as normal. He gained 3 ounces in the two days between hospital discharge and Doctor's appointment.....

Sarah is now introducing her brother with the nickname of "squirt". Three quesses why....

All is well

2007-08-17T19:53:00.000-04:00

All is going well. Sarah is jumping from a touch of jealousy to being a mother hen with him.

Tomorrow is his first doctors appointment.....

And now another picture...

We're Home....

2007-08-16T18:41:00.000-04:00

We're home! Home today, we got discharged by noon, so we had all day at home.

Once we got them settled, its been a bit running aroun doing laundry, shopping(I had to go to Target to get a nursing bra for her....) and some food shopping...

Its just us. No more visitors. Our neighbor brought over a cassorole...but I also cooked a steak to give her some iron intake, and some corn. And now cooking is a nice peach dump cake for dessert.....
Christopher is being SO good....so you know tonight will be crazy...:D

Awwwwww

2007-08-14T18:31:00.000-04:00

Christopher Thomas

2007-08-13T21:32:00.000-04:00

We got a phone call at slightly after 7am this morning. It was the hospital calling. They called to say, even though no one called, we were suppose to be in for a 8am surgery delivery.....so....some quick showers, phone calls to her family to let them know the timing has changed and a fast drop off at our friends house we drove down to the hospital.

The delivery went well, extremely well. Christopher was born in about twenty minutes from the time they cut mommy open to plopping him on the examine table....screaming for the whole world to here. This one is a pisser. He knows what he wants and can scream loud enough to make his wishes understood. When they wheeled mommy in from recovery, the nurse came in and said "normally we dont ask after three hours, but this one is not only cute, but completely stubborn, so would you like to try nursing?" Mommy was well enough to try. A bit stubborn, but he's finally getting the hang of it tonight as I type.

Mommy is fine. A bit of reaction to some of the meds early on, but MUCH better now tonight as I type. Heck as of 10pm, the nurses are going to take her out and let or help her bath.....Mommy's a tough one. I left the nurses instructions that if she tries to much, duct tape her to the bed so she doesnt pull out her staples....He's been tagged with an ankle braclet, and mommy and daddy have one with a matching code. So no one can have mix ups....and if you try and leave the ward....alarms go off.

Christopher was born 6 pounds, 14 ounces, 20 inches long and the pinkest baby you will ever see. He is the EXACT same weight as sarah was, and only 1 inch shorter....

Without further ado.....

T-minus three days

2007-08-10T19:20:00.000-04:00

And good news. We dont have to be at the butt crack of dawn 6:30 am Monday for prep. We can come in at a leisurely 9:30 am.

Stay tuned....

Target. Again.

2007-08-01T15:23:00.000-04:00

The mrs had me run out to Target for a few things last night, since its close. But I swear, I do NOT see what the rest of you see in Target. Ugh. I know you folks seem to have low rent people at your WalMart, but seriously, all of mine seem to go to Target. Give me the super WalMart any day over Target!

Lets start with finding stuff. Cant find bathmats for kids....so I ask the person working there. Big mistake. Why? Because apparently they didnt have anyone around that speaks english! Come on...for goodness sake, english people, english! So after saying "Children's Bathmat Bbbbbbbaaaaatttthhhh Mmmmmaaaaatttttt" for the 20th time slowly, someone comes over that at least understands english and then translates, speaking gibberish between the two, before she nods in understanding and takes me over to where they are.

Except, apparently, they left off the "childrens" part. I'm NOT going back and play russian telephone again. Screw that.Sarah can have a nice white one, some frogs and stars individual ones.

Then they're out of the extended 300 DVD. Thats just criminal right there. It was only released that day for Christ sake!

Then lets talk about the shoppers. I was there for 20 minutes tying to find that damn bath mat and get a english translator, there was the women with 4 children in the toy department telling her son to pick something. And every time I passed, I hear "I'm going to count to three and then your leaving without something. 1, 2, 2 and a half, 2 and three quarters..." More than a couple times, very time I passed. It was funny. Lady, dont threaten if your not going to follow through...

The there is the cashier, in the closed pharmacy section, at the register, waiting to ring people up. Why? Its closed, you were there every time I passed expecting to ring people out, but the roll gate is down behind you.

Then the mother and daughter duo, having and argument. Over cowboy boots. *shudder*

I managed to escape by the skin of my teeth, as before they could suck me in. That counting mom managed to get up front......

No more Target, thank you.

Soon.

2007-07-26T20:01:00.000-04:00

After being in a person's home to remove their old crappy piano so I can deliver their new one in two days....she catches me admiring a doll house she has and says "you have a little girl right? Here come with me."

And here is what she gives me.....and says that she'll have the accessories and maybe a second one for sarah on Saturday...

Scholars honour Bin Laden

ISLAMABAD - Pakistani Islamic scholars honoured Osama bin Laden today in response to Britain’s knighthood for Salman Rushdie, as a senior ruling party member said he would not hesitate to kill the novelist.

And they dont understand why we view muslim folks with skepticism?

Meanwhile the country’s religious affairs minister, who caused outrage by remarking that the award given to the "Satanic Verses" author justified suicide attacks, announced that he may visit Britain next month.

So you UK folks beware!

The Pakistani Ulema Council, a private body that claims to be the biggest of its kind in the country with 2,000 scholars, said it had given Bin Laden the title "Saifullah", or Sword of Allah, its top accolade.

"We are pleased to award the title of Saifullah to Osama bin Laden after the British government’s decision to bestow the title of ’Sir’ on blasphemer Rushdie," council chairman Maulana Tahir Ashrafi told AFP.

"This is the highest title for a Muslim warrior."

Uh huh. And no award for peaceful things? I mean I've been told a billion times islam is the "religion of peace"

Bin Laden has been blamed for the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington that killed nearly 3,000 people. He is widely believed to be hiding on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

Later Afzal Sahi - the speaker of the Punjab province assembly and a member of the Pakistan Muslim League party that backs President Pervez Musharraf - said during a debate that he would murder Rushdie if he saw him.

"I am a Muslim and then a politician and it is ordained in Islam that the punishment for a blasphemer is death. If this man comes in front of me I will definitely kill him," he said in response to a question by an opposition MP.

Man, could you imagine him at a party with British notables! He'd be a blast...literally.

During a protest by thousands of people in Lahore against Musharraf’s suspension of the Pakistani chief justice, a large part of the crowd briefly chanted "Death to Britain, Death to Rushdie", witnesses said.

The neighbouring Islamic republics of Pakistan and Iran both summoned the British envoys to their countries on Tuesday as the row spread over the Rushdie award, which was announced on Saturday.

Britain hit back by expressing "deep concern" over the comments on suicide attacks by religious affairs minister Ijaz-ul Haq.

Gotta love that stiff upper lip. Can you see the meetings? They call the Brits on the carpet for knighting an author they dont like....and the brits response is..."uhm, hello, you folks are threatening to kill people over it. I think YOU owe an apology here..."

Haq - who later withdrew the remarks saying that he meant only that the award would foster extremism - said he now planned to visit Britain.

Liar.

"Yes, I may travel to Britain next month as a British delegation has invited me to guide them on how to engage khateebs and imams (sermon deliverers and prayer leaders) in a constructive dialogue," Haq told AFP.

The British delegation met Haq on Monday and included representatives from Britain’s Home Office and Foreign Office with responsibility for engaging with the Islamic world and preventing extremism, he said.

"I can confirm he did meet the delegation but I am not aware of any invitation," said Aidan Liddle, a spokesman for the British High Commission (embassy) in Islamabad.

Former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto has called on Haq to resign.

Haq is the son of military dictator Zia-ul-Haq, who ruled Pakistan from 1977 until his death in a mysterious plane crash in 1988. His father introduced Islamic punishments to the country including death for blasphemy.

A comment piece in Britain’s Daily Telegraph said that if Pakistan was so angry about the issue, it should return the 480 million pounds in aid promised by Prime Minister Tony Blair last year.

"If this is tainted money, it can presumably be returned," it said.

Thats right! Why give money to people that are threatening to kill you over items?

But in the Pakistani federal parliament Pakistan Muslim League president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said that Blair was "personally and mentally against Muslims."

Only those trying to kill or threaten his people. Its bad manners after all.....

Happy Father's day!

A joke.

Homeless Woman

A woman was walking down the street when she was confronted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked her for acouple of dollars for dinner. The woman took out her bill fold, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy somechocolate with it instead of dinner?"

"No, I had to stop chocolate years ago", the homeless woman replied.

"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" the woman asked.

"No, I don't waste time shopping", the homeless woman said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive."

"Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" the woman asked.

"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!"

"Well," said the woman, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my hubby and myself tonight.

The homeless Woman was astounded. "Won't your hubby be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting."

The woman replied, "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and chocolate."

You know

2007-06-10T20:33:00.000-04:00

McDonald's, hands down, is the BEST place to get my stories. The sheer stupidity of parents there rivals any place I have gone yet. We'll see if schools can top them.

The "Bad parents gone wild" stories of today, since we took sarah there as a treat for the out door playground:

Parent A:

Her 3 and 3/4 was on the outdoor playground, by himself. Where the mommy was...is anyone's guess. Why she allowed him to be outside while she's inside is beyond me. But once outside, an attentive parent....so she isnt the biggest offender.

Parent B:

Father with three kids, all from say 6-8ish to 12-14ish.....and let them run loose on the playground. Two of which where above the 4 foot hieght limit, but hey, who cares! He kept going out of the playground area, and off across the parking lot to smoke! Leaving all the kids to run up slides and play without much attention....but he did scold them while he was there, so he had some redeeming value, since he didnt want them hurting the little kids. So he didnt win the prize either.

Parent C:

THIS one takes first prize in the "I'm the stupidest parent" award. His offense? Two children 5 and 3, two darling little girls, he left hanging on the outside of the fence while he walked across the parking lot to put stuff in the car, leaving the two children right there on the fence....which is also the drive thru lane....I was cringing.

So there you have it. Three stories at one sitting! Cant beat McDonald for great bad parenting stories!

Whats your favorite place?

PSA

2007-06-04T18:30:00.000-04:00

In case you havent seen this(marked true on snopes):

Children's Meth

Checked this on Snopes and it is true.

http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/candymeth.asp

There is a very scary thing going on in the schools right now that all need to be aware of. There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks like strawberry pop rocks. It smells like strawberry also and it is being handed out to kids in school yards in AR. I'm sure it will make its way around the country if it hasn't already. Kids are ingesting thisthinking that it is candy and being rushed off to the E.R. in dire condition.

It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange ~ it looks just like pop rocks!!!Please instruct your children to not accept candy that looks like this even from a friend and to take any that they may have to a teacher, principal, etc.

Weekend of fun!

2007-06-03T19:20:00.001-04:00

The weekend of fun! Carnival today with mommy and daddy. yesterday sarah went to a birthday party with just daddy. Enjoy the fun! In case your wondering, yes in the very last photo sarah would zoom down the water slide into the muddy ground.....A couple other parents decided after that, they needed to drag the kiddie pool over so the kids slide into that. Or maybe it was the fact I was using the the water fountain to rise the mud off sarah....

Happy Birthday Mrs Carmachu!

2007-05-31T19:57:00.001-04:00

Today she's 34....so dont let her lie to you about her age when you wish her a happy birthday....*grin*

It runs in the family

2007-05-29T11:04:00.000-04:00

You'll notice below that I say I'm a smart ass. But what you dont realize is that its genetic. It runs through the family.

Like yesterday.

I'm the oldest in the family, and as all you older(and younger) siblings know its our divine right to torment the younger folks in the family. We get more responsibility, but we also get to torture you younger ones. Its only fair.

So yesterday, the youngest in the family, 16 going on 17, is in his favorite spot at the house, the little grape arbor thats so old that its basically enclosed by grape plants on all but two sides. So I creep up close behind him, find a potted plant and start throwing tiny bits of dirt at the back of his neck. At first he just brushes it off. Then he brushes harder. Pretty soon he's standing up shaking his shirt like some got down. Finally he turns around to see me laughing at him......then I turn around and then there is our mother standing behind me laughing at the whole situation....no scolding, she's finding it just as amusing as I am that I'm tormenting the youngest....

SO there you go. You ever start wondering why I'm so bad....they just encouraged me....

Addendum:

Just got off the phone with my father and told him this story, his response was to laugh and say "good. Get him up and moving about..."

Crap on a stick!

2007-05-25T15:19:00.001-04:00

See what happens when you say ok to getting added to someone's blog roll? You get tagged by some semi-nice lady....*grin*

Nainaashley over at Far from the daily Grind tagged me for 10 things about me.....

So without further ado...and in random order:

1)My handle makes up a bit more than half my first name. But I'll keep you guessing as to which letters.

2) I tend to have more friends that are female than male. Which has lead to some saying I'm "one of the girls". Now I have to decide if I'm flattered or insulted....

3)One of them called me transexual, because it was the only thing that made sense.

4) I have one little 4 year old girl and a little boy on the way in August.

5)I love to read. I have tons of books of all types, much to sometimes the mrs chagrin. We actually have a small room filled with bookshelves filled with books, which sadly....I now have to box them all up to make room for the new little boy....

6)I'm a sucker for carnivals. While growing up, we didnt have alot, but dad always took us to ones that were in town....So I have that same love and it looks like sarah will too.

7)I'm a smartass. And sarah is follwoing in my footsteps. You've been warned.

8) I like playing RPG's(thats roleplaying games) and table top miniature games

9)I am NOT a princess, either now or in a past life. Although I definately am raising one.

10)And uhm....the mrs and I STILL cant agree on a boy names. We're still taking suggestions.

Mommy and sarah time!

2007-05-24T15:27:00.000-04:00

Mommy and sarah took some time to spend together(with her aunt), since very soon mommy will be busy with a new baby.

The went to the local zoo!

Bad parenting and playground justice

2007-05-20T16:40:00.000-04:00

So again, bad parents at McDonald's. But this time with a twist.

So with sarah and daddy time, we went out for lunch at the McDonald's with a playground. In the playground are, there's a birthday party going on. No problem.

Except moms, back me up on this one, there's always a mom or three who think at every party that they brought the kid, her work is done and sits around and does nothing while her child screws up. You all know you've had them at your parties....

This one is no different. HER darling bundle of trouble decided he didnt want anyone coming out the tunnel slide after he comes down, so he holds the walls and blocks it off so no one can get out...and the log jam starts. You all know what happens next, right? Mommy dearest waddles up from her burger and scolds him after he gets up and starts going up again with "now you let the kids through, no stopping, do you understand?" Which is as effective as a wet noodle, as he continues. And every other time(because apparantly she cant be bothered each time) to admonish him the same way.

Except finally, all the other children have had enough. God bless playground justice, because the other children, both at his party and not, decide THEY had enough, and several of them each time, some older, some not, knock his arms down and physically drag him off the slide. Or climb over him and step on him.

It was great. When parents dont want to deal, children sometimes do!

Warning political

I saw this and had to share. Political ahead, so turn back now, you were warned.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some interesting thoughts. I'm not sure who wrote them.

A man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War Two owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

Very few people were true Nazis "he said," but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything.

I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.

We are told again and again by "experts" and "talking heads" that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals.

The hard quantifiable fact is that the "peaceful majority" the "silent majority" is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia comprised Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China 's huge population, it was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

"The average Japanese individual prior to World War 2 was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword,shovel and bayonet. And, who can forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were "peaceful & loving"?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:

Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.

Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awake one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians,Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.

As for us who watch it all unfold; we must pay attention to the only group that counts; the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Dinosaur play

2007-05-10T18:53:00.000-04:00

Last Friday, I took sarah to Dr Rock's dinosaur play, which was SO cool.

Thy gave out chocolate lollypops before the show....not the smartest move for small kids, but she loved it.

The show started late, so daddy and sarah made the best of it and had fun!

Fun was had by all and we even got a picture of the creatures!

Ugh

2007-05-04T10:40:00.000-04:00

This just makes my skin crawl. Idiot woman at sarah's preschool STILL does it.....does what you ask?

Leaves the freaking baby in the car with it running. Today, she did it and went to he bathroom. Taking even longer to get back to the kid.

Ugh.

Here and there and back again.

2007-05-03T14:25:00.000-04:00

Had to work alot yesterday. Left before the ladies of teh house awoke and got back after dinner....3 state move of various items of heavy nature. NY to CT to Mass then back again.

It was fun, but tiring.

And in other news, thank you SO much Deb. You made Kim's(and sarah's) day. I got an excited phone call saying both a stroller and a boppy arrived. It made her,s, and mine, day. And sarah's remark was "look a boppy for me to hold the baby!"

Thank you so much!

So sarah's in the bath, and all I hear upstairs is "who taught her that!?"

So I go up to look, and ask what. Kim says " to roll her eyes like that."

One eye roll later as I walk out the room, I hear "she does it EXACTLY like you do."

My only response is "thats my girl all right."

Poor mommy, she better hope the little boy is more like her or she's about to be seriously outnumbered....and might end up in the nut house.No wait, thats where she is already....*grin*

Can I say

2007-04-24T21:36:00.000-04:00

I hate shopping? I really really do.

The Mrs has been complaining of back pain, and when she was pregnant with Sarah, I had bought her a vibrating back pillow at a office supply store where I was gaming so it would help with sitting and driving. But like most things around here, we gave away baby stuff we don't need and now folks give us now stuff we need.

But she gave a good friend her vibrating pillow and hasn't gotten it back yet. So like a good husband I went out in search of one. With Sarah in tow, after work, while Kim was at work.

Oy Vey.

Went to the local office supply place. After 20 minutes of fruitless searching, I asked someone. No, they don't carry it. Why? I don't know, but their other store did 60 miles away back then....so we went to the mall with Sarah having gotten some play money.

We then started at Sears. I mean, its Sears, they have to have it right? After searching the bedding section, I asked. No, they only carry them during the holiday season. Why I'll never know, but they don't have it. So we trudged(or rather, I trudged, Sarah was tired, so I carried her and the stuffed animal she got) ALL the way to the other end of the mall to Another chain store.

No, they don't have it. Of course they might have, but for some reason I couldn't find a single sales rep ANYWHERE in this department store. Unless I wanted makeup. The makeup section was fully stocked with 6 employees.....while the entire bedding section, layaway, and 3 registers didn't have a single one.

So we left the mall. And drove across the way to Bed, Bath and Beyond. I mean, it has bedding, it should have them, right? But no. After 2 laps around the circular store and a lollipop for Sarah, we flag down one of the 2 employees there(because they aren't even wearing name tags, so maybe there was more than 2 there), they look around and they too are surprised they don't have them. They lady tries to be helpful as says "have you looked in our online store?" Like that's suppose to help get it by tonight as a surprise. If I have to shop online, it certainly wont be here.

So back in the car and off to WalMart. Why Walmart? Because it has everything usually and it has a McDonald's, as its an hour past Sarah's dinner time. So one happy meal later we wander through Walmart. After one circular pass and saying hello to someone we know, we find not one, but TWO vibrating pillows. Of course we buy both, long with a princess chair for Sarah.

So, while you all knock Walmart, it actually HAS the stuff I need, rather than all the other crappy places that wasted my time....So Sarah and I get home at 8pm for bath and bed....ugh.

two freaking hours to find one little item. I hate shopping.
