Flatulent days....

Well yesterday was a day. Maybe not the craziest I've ever had. But definitely a day! I did quite a lot and was way tired. Plus it was Monday! No one likes a Monday. I went grocery shopping cleaned cleaned the house did some laundry and since my dryer is broken I had to hang my clothes on anything I could makeshift outside! I should have taken pictures it was amusing! Anyways on top of all that I spent ALL DAY with my 3 yr old ! Tahlae at least takes a nap but not Korlen! 13 hrs straight with ANY individual is enough to drive one crazy let alone a small child filled with way too much energy! By the end of the day I had had it! After dinner I was ready for them to go to bed early and when they were supposed to be going to get their pjs on I found Tahlae unraveling the toilet paper for the third time and told him he was gonna get a spanking which means nothing for him because he doesn't understand and has never gotten a real one anyways! Little poop! Anyways I pretend swayed his bum which Korlen thought was pretty funny do he proceeded to follow me around spanking me instead of changing his clothes. I wasn't all that mad or irritated but I decided the best retaliation at this point was something smelly! Poor korlen has grown to just the height of my bum so it didn't take much to hold his head close and let one fly! How's that for a confession! I'm sure one day he'll appreciate the humor in the gesture. At thus age he didn't even realize what was going on or why I was laughing so hard. Probably better that way no need for him to repeat the action on another poor child. Everyone would look to me and ask where he learned something like that lol!

To infinity and beyond

I don't really like to think of myself as a pessimist or as someone ubber concerned with hidden meanings or a freak mom that won't let my kids watch normal stuff because I think it's going to rot their mind. But I am a desperate house wife. Well no, less then that really, just a stay at home mom at least desperate housewives busy themselves with useless things like lunch dates and shopping and checking how high their neighbors grass really is! And of course they all have live in help like nannies and house cleaners where as I am at home all day cleaning and laundry and meals and of course trying desperately to entertain the children without too much tv. But after a long night of one waking up right after the other I want nothing more then to get them some cherioes put on a movie and finally fall asleep myself(who am I kidding what mother really falls all the way to sleep) and let the rest of my "duties" to wait till later.

Now I don't know if it is nearly because I am half alive when watching these shows ( which makes it all the more entertaining mind you) or I'd I really have a problem with the things depicted but it leaves you to think.
1) WOW we grew up on some seriously violent material
2) do the creatures of today even have children of their own!
~all in all. Someone obviously isn't thinking of what kind of cause and effect theory they are instilling into the next generation!

1) we recently got an entertainment console that is hooked to our tv and filled with old Disney movies and cartoons that Lorenzo and I grew up on. Like Tom and jerry, looney toons, Smerfs, lady and the tramp, 101 Dalmatians, Cinderella. You know the good stuff! It's funny how now as an adult parts in the movies can be so funny for such different reasons! For instance when I was little I paid no mind to the fact that the cat in Cinderella is named lucifer! As an adult realizing what that really means I'm dying with laughter. On the other hand. As a child watching bugs bunny I paid no mind to the fact that when he got shoot by a riffle he just got a whole in his stomach that the other characters popes their head through! As an adult I'm thinking. WHAT! I have nightmares that korlen is gonna find a stick of dynamite and blow himself up because he's under the impression that his skin will just turn black and his hair will singe! I mean holly smokes you don't see stuff like that anymore. The old time cartoons didn't have crazy overprotective moms calling in complaints making then reign in what they could and couldn't do. But me as a litera little kid and with a brother like mine I honestly don't know how I lived to see this day.

2) if any of you have ever said " you can play buzz light year but you are not allowed to try and jump ALL the way down the stairs in one leap" you know exactly what I'm talking about. The whole toy story movie alone creeps me out. If I was a kid again I would get rid of every one of my toys before they had a chance to linch me in my sleep! And now I'm positive that korlen thinks that real cars are smart enough to stop when he runs out in front of him. Every red car is called lightning after all. And to get out of trouble you may be in with the law just attach balloons to your house and fly away to happy vile or think happy thoughts a and fly away to never land ( yeah cuz those are plausible ideas!

More things I've learned from the world of child entertainment. If ppl die just clap your hands. If you get flattened by a boulder you can still walk around flatter then a pancake or someone can just blow you up with a tire pump. Magical hats can bring snowmen to life. And in ALL cases when you meet someone that speaks another language once you start talking you understand each other and all animals and trees talk to each other.

No wonder life was so easy when you were little. The possibilities where endless and there was always a happy ending!
