It's Been Too Long and New Inspirations

Wow, I can not believe it has been almost 2 years since I posted to this blog.  I started a Twitter account to keep track of the funny stuff my kids say but I need to pick this back up. 

This time I am not holding back.  I have a new perspective on my own life, and life around me in general.  I need to tell it like it is.  Laugh about the shit that is painful.  Let people know life is not beautiful or neat or perfect! I have changed my expectations about who is going to read this crap.  It would be a lie to say that I am 'only doing this for me; to document the funny life I lead.'  LIE.  I find my family totally amusing and you should, too.  I should be famous for the crap I put up with from my kids.  But I am sure I won't be and that is okay.  My new expectation is not to be blog-famous (sigh) but to get JOY out of life in general and find the positive side of all the happenings in my world.  So, I hope who ever reads this gets a little bit of joy. 

Joy: the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation.

I will not be angry at you if your joy in reading my stories- or babbles, as they may be- comes from feeling better about yourself in the grandeur of my days' demise.  I watch the show, 16 and Pregnant to make myself feel better, so why shouldn't you use me to feel better about yourself?!

In finding the joy in some of the hilariousness of my own life, I will try to catch you up on a few funny things that my kids have said in the past 'while'.  These are adapted from a couple of tweets starting in June 2013.  (Daughter is my oldest, Middle is my middle son, and Tiny Human is my youngest son).

•  While driving along I was curious what my tiniest human was babbling about and so I asked Middle, "is he laughing" to which Middle replied, "no, he is just amazed at what he sees".  Hum, I find this ironic since Tiny Human is sitting rear-facing in his car seat, in a DARK car!
• After my latest hair-do, which I went to great lengths to think about, plan, Google pictures, and finally decide on, Daughter says, "Your hair is pretty, mom.  It's brown and blonde; something I've never seen before".  Sigh, I guess I need a touch up!
• Husband, "penguin"; Daughter, "what did you say?"; Husband, "penguin"; Daughter, "what did you say?"; Husband, "Penguin!"; Daughter, "pig with wings??"
• My Aunt visited my parents' simultaneously to us, and when she asked Middle, "how many chickens do Grammie and Grampie have?" Middle replied, "I know horses poop their babies".  Hum, thanks, buddy.  Very valuable information, even if it is not relevant to the current chicken population on the farm.

Lots more tidbits to come.  I am hoping to pop in whenever I am inspired and when I am not I am hoping to pop in and do some more catch-up quotes from my hilarious children.
