Things to make your mother freak!!

There have been a few things in my life that have freaked me out as a mother. Like when a caught Ethan eating the toilet bowl brush around 10 months old or saw him dipping out of the toilet eating things that hadn't been flushed! Yes, disgusting and yes, I wanted to go grab the bleach. After thinking along this line I started to think about what in my life now would freak my mom! Along with the pictures I put on here I can think of some others. Like my kids being plastered from head to foot in mud, Quazar kissing us on the mouth, etc. So what do you do that would freak out your mom?! Here are a few of ours.
The other day Ambria came out of the bathroom saying, "pa, pa". I turned around to see this hanging out of her mouth. You see...she hasn't had a pacy for over a week now and evidently was needing one this day. It's the bathtub plug and she was sucking away for all she was worth! Nasty!


Is there anything in your life that you just hate to do? Well in my life...this is one of them! I hate folding socks. Seriously this is from quite a few laundry doings. I had an entire hamper full of them when I decided to dump them out. When your kids are running hectically around before attempting to dig through a hamper full of socks to get a pair for school...that means it's time to fold them. Mom would kill me for this!!!


I remember when we first got Quazar and my mom in law lived with us. One night after supper I saw her feeding him from her plate with one of our forks. I almost died. I was so upset over this and totally flipped out. As you can see below...nothing has changed in the past 7 years!! (Don't worry...all is washed in water so hot I can hardly stand it.)

Now girl you have really freaked me out!! :):) At least you've got a sense of humor. That's as bad as Patricia when we first moved here. She decided to play in the contents of her diaper and she "painted" my mirror on my dresser and part of the dresser top. I was gagging so bad trying to clean that one up. How disgusting. I guess we all have freaky stories to tell. As for Ambria and the tub plug, at least the soap gets on it and it's not as bad as the toilet brush. See ya.

After reading your post, I can't think of any nasties to top yours! (Maybe that's because we don't have kiddos. ??)

Things I hate to do? Laundry doesn't bother me so badly: I like bringing order out of the chaos, but dust? Now we're talkin'. The only thing worse than the dust is catching Ken running his finger through it!

My other really hate to do is cook. My mom's kitchen was her domain. If we came to the line where the carpet stopped and the kitchen linoleum began, she would say "Aaa-aaaa! What do you want?" I had plenty of household chores (yes, dusting was one, and I vowed I would never have so many dust catchers as she had... heh), but kitchen duty was not among them. If a recipe has more than five ingredients, I know "that ain't happenin'." I subscribed to Quick Cooking and skip most of the recipes because they don't meet my definition of quick.

I had to chuckle when I started reading your post because I popped over here to tell you that "You've been tagged! Come to my blog for the details."

Kids and dogs! I think they make a great combo. I have dug many things out of "my children's" mouths. Never a dull moment at my job, that's for sure! We enjoy reading your blog.
