My Life in Dribbles

Because I don’t have a lot going on besides dribbles.  First, here are a couple gems from Kate:

-when I told her to try not to get ketchup (catsup?-which is correct???  whatever…) on her clothes, because that just makes more work for me, she said, and I quote, “at least they invented washing machines.”  Mm-hm.  And I can’t wait to teach her how to use it.

-I didn’t hear the entire conversation, just this little zinger at the end:  ”Yeah, ’cause Mommy is WAY smarter than Daddy.”  Finally someone around here gets it.

Fat Tuesday is tomorrow.  Which means Lent begins Wednesday.  Which means I need to make my annual attempt at denying myself some little pleasure.  A couple months ago, I figured I’d give up the wine.  And now, I’m thinking there is a snowballs chance in you-know-where that I’m going to be giving up the wine.  The flesh is weak.  Very, very weak.

Cherry twizzlers taste like cough medicine.  I bought some the other day so we could eat them during our family movie night.  And I decided later in the day that I needed one.  So I tore open the package, and took a bite and seriously, it felt like I was chewing on congealed robitussin.  Disappointing.  Very.Disappointing.

Ella ate 1/3 can of beets the other day.  I ate the other 2/3.  Because they.are.so.good.

Why do I spend so much time thinking and talking about food?

I watched this movie on Lifetime last night.  Stephanie Daley it was called.  I don’t know if I have ever seen a more disturbing movie on television.  It was just bizarre on a whole lotta levels.  Not a good movie to entertain yourself with right before beddybye.

Finally, here is my entry for the B&W I heart faces contest this week…

Because I’m So Super Funny

I’ve entered a little contest for a blog book being put together to benefit the NieNie fund.  The blog book will be written entirely by bloggers, and the contest was for inclusion of something I’ve written in the book.  Like, I could be published in a real book, with pages and everything. 

The goal of the book is to make people smile, hence the name “Sometimes Life is Funny.”  And we all know how terribly funny Kristen is.  Actually, it’s not so much me that’s so funny, as it is my little ones.  I just relay the fodder.

Unfortunately, today is the last day for entries, but those of you who are up late may still have a few minutes to shoot off an email with your funniest story.  Click this link for more information.  And even if you don’t enter, check it out.  It could just make you smile…
