Blogging Tips and Faux Pas

I found a great list of simple blogging tips on Casual Blogger. I have a few to add. More like blogging faux pas. What not to post on your blog. These are all hypothetical blogging opportunities.

  1. Pictures of your sons peeing in the toilet at the same time. Cutest and best picture of all time. If you do post it, don't tell your sons. Ever.
  2. Your daughter's first kiss. Especially if your husband tells you specifically it would be bad form.
  3. Where you found your first gray hair.
  4. That when your husband suggested Maui for your 20th anniversary, you went to a tanning joint because you didn't want to be sunburned and carefully only scheduled it for 7 minutes, laid down, then scooted further down and your butt and back created a vacuum with a horrible sucking noise when lifted.
  5. When you realized your son hadn't gone to the bathroom before going to bed and you got him up to go, he was so disoriented that he took off towards the bathroom but then disappeared. You found him standing naked in the laundry room with absolutely no idea how he got there or where his clothes were.
This is a public service to you and completely hypothetical.

You are welcome.

The Most Dreaded Words

 Everybody knows that Christmas is about keeping the Santa Secret and pleasing your children. Therefore, the most dreaded words are uttered on Christmas Eve. "I changed my mind, I want a [pony, scooter, bike, Red Rider BB gun]" A close second place winner is, "Can I have a New Year's Eve party?" Then, "Me, too?"

Too Sick to be Sick

I am sick.  Really and truly sick.  I even took a sick day and felt no guilt whatsoever that maybe I wasn't sick enough to have a "sick day."  Because I am.  My 5 year old was sick, too so I took him to the doctor.  I refuse to acknowledge that I'm sick because I don't get sick.  So with absolute glee, my little boy climbed up onto the table, stuck out his tongue and conversed with the doctor.  I heard something about cloudy ears and antibiotics and then I just turned it off. It hurts when sound reaches my eardrums. We drove back home, I turned on the television, brought in the dog, and let the babysitting begin.  I crawled back into bed and swam somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness.  The kids came home from school.  I might have acknowledged them.  I made chicken noodle soup from scratch.  I couldn't even think.  My husband caught me in a sway and asked what he could do.  I grunted some terse instructi...

I Hate Pants

I wrote this on my Facebook page: Makayla just wandered upstairs and found me reading on the sofa, pants discarded, as usual. She laughed at me. I laughed at her. Then I realized that Makayla Jensen is not my daughter. Go home, Makayla! I'm not putting my pants back on just because you are here!  There are now two camps. People who agree with me and people who have absolutely no idea why anybody would discard pants upon entering home. Fortunately, I've found that I'm not in a camp all by myself. I found an article of 10 Reasons Why I Hate Pants: Best summed up by this Venn Diagram sent by Scott's cousin:
