Political Puns

My boys have decided that his name is Donald Diaper, they don't recognize the name Trump. That is all.

Funny Guy

This morning as we were driving to school, my first grader was telling me a story. He said did I know that when you put a chili dog outside, it becomes a hot dog, because it's hot outside? He thought that they were called chilly dogs.

Observation #149

Motherhood is folding laundry uninterrupted for long stretches of time, what feels like hours in fact, then stepping into the shower for a five minute rinse and hearing chaos, torment, and destruction from your previously quiet children.

Morning Musings

My older son is doing the letter ص in Arabic class, so my younger one is playing along and decides he wants to do "حرف الصابون", too.

Observation #579

Whenever I sit on the couch and end up falling asleep, my kids think it's prime time to shower me with love and kisses. Their sense of timing in impeccable.

Rant #697

I was at Harris Teeter, and they are really good about having parking for Expectant Mothers and Customers with Children. I didn't find any of those spots today, so I just parked at another spot. While I was loading my groceries with the two crazies, a lady pulled into the spot next to me that was reserved for Customers with Children and hopped out, no kids in tow. I didn't even see a car seat in the back. I was slightly annoyed, but more amused. I wonder if she felt guilty about it...
