Light bulbs, the Joker, angry grunts and burning eyes...

Scenario: Me, putting on lip gloss before going to church and Tyler watching. It's a new color (a bit darker than my normal nude color) and I'm thinking it looks pretty darn good.

Tyler: "Mom, you look like the Joker with that lipstick on your face"

Thank you, Tyler...this is the comparison you chose?! A deranged, scary, psychotic man who's entire being spews darkness? I knew which Joker he meant because he'd seen the preview picture for the Dark Knight - don't try to make me feel better.

McKell asked me if she could do something the other night, I don't remember what but she was standing at the bottom of the stairs and once I said "Yes" she clapped her hands and ran over and said, "You a nice mommy, thank you" and showers my legs with kisses. I then said, "I'm so happy that I'm such a nice mommy". She then said, "No, sometimes you do this" and proceeds to put her hands on her hips and grunts an angry grunt and has a scowl on her face.

Mom of the Year Award...


"Mother who has her boys sleep on top of burnt out light bulbs". Yes, that would be the title for this award. Last night I forgot to take the used bulbs off of the top bunk, where both boys love to sleep. I had a vague recollection this morning that I didn't take them off the bed and I asked Austin this morning if he saw light bulbs in his bed. He said, "Yep, I didn't know what they were for, so I threw them off the bed. They're probably behind the bed or on the ground". Ok, I've always prided myself on my son being bright and very logical - why would he not put them on the dresser or tell me? Throw them on the ground?!


"Mother who burns her child's eyes out" . This particular award would be for my scarring experience of putting ear numbing drops in Ellie's eyes. I was totally traumatized, the entire time I was washing out her eyes thinking she'd have one eye and she'd have to wear an eye patch or a glass eye, which really doesn't 'fake' any one out and that she'd have horrible wedding pictures with an eye patch.

She was fine - just screaming from the shocking cold water and the stinging of the numbing drops.

Just keeping it real people, just keeping it real.
