I'm a stay at home mom who's found blogging to be the best way to vent rationally. I love spending time with my family. This blog is my journal, since I find journaling to be somewhat tedious, so if you visit often, just know that things will be "real."

Potty Training 1 year later

Andon just said the funniest thing that I now have to blog. Okay, so I don't HAVE to, I WANT to, cause it's not like I have anything else to do. Picking up the house, getting the kids in jammies, teeth brushed, helping Teaghan make Potatoe Biscuits from Oklahoma for school tomorrow, it's just not as important. I mean really, one has to have priorities. Here's what happened:

Doug and I were looking at flutes for Teaghan on Ebay (Doug's newest obsession- oops HOBBY). Andon comes in to use our bathroom. He's in there for a bit(no.2) and then we hear " Mommy can you wipe me?" I said no, that daddy could do it,(cause that particular item on 'mothers job application' is just not one I relish. And really, Doug's at work all day, he can wipe a butt.) But then daddy said, "no, Andon, you're a big boy. You can wipe yourself." To which there was some whining and then this comment: "But it's too far down there." and then with a whiny voice, "It's too hard!" Daddy replied, "you can do it. You're a big boy." Andon: "I don't want to be a big boy. I want to be a girl."

I don't know what being a girl has to do with not wiping oneself. I suppose he thinks girls are exempt from wiping. Maybe he thinks we've got it easy. But whatever the case, we had a good laugh!

Funny Things The Kids Say

One day Andon and I were talking about our hearts. He asked me how they worked, I gave him an explanation a 4 y r old could understand, (the only one I understand.) The very next day, I said something to Zak. Something that went along the lines of, "quit that!" or some such demand. Andon then says to me: "Mommy, listen to your heart. That's not very nice." Needless to say I felt like a complete and total toad. Just goes to show that you can always learn more from your children than you could ever teach them yourself.

While we were camping, Andon and our friend's son were sitting next to one another. Brayden who is 15 says to Andon, "I've known you since you were a baby." Andon replies, "I've known me since I was a baby too!"


Brittnee is our funny bone. The things she says sometimes are so dang funny! One day, as she was walking by Doug she says, "Hello, my good man." We both looked at her and we both began cracking up. This is how she's referred to him lately.


I was sitting on the couch taking a breather after dinner and Andon walks past me into the kitchen. He had a car in his hand and as he walked by the fridge he must have dropped it because I heard him say, "tartar sauce!" I suppose I should limit his sponge bob watching.


I was in the car with the kids coming home from Britt's tap class and she was telling me about the school BBQ that day. She mentioned that her friend got sick. I asked her what happened and she said, "Layla has lots of diseases so she had to go home." I didn't think I heard her clearly, so I repeated back, "diseases?" Britt said, "Yes, Diseases." By this time I was truly perplexed because I knew she didn't really mean disease, but I couldn't figure out what she DID mean. Then Teaghan pipes up and says, "You mean ALLERGIES?" Brittnee says, "Oh yeah, that's what it is. ALLERGIES!" I laughed heartily, the kind where your shoulders shake and your stomach hurts.


We were at the school today, and on one of the playgrounds is these cubes that turn. On them are the states and their capitols. There's quite a few of them, and they're all blue. Zakry starts playing with them and turning them all, and then I hear, "mommy, look, a car wash." I suppose the large blue cubes reminded him of the car wash we went on last week. So funny!!
