Phrase of the day...

Mommy to Alex: "I don't want to hear shit coming out of your mouth until I see shit coming out of your ASS!"

For my mental health friends and family -- very funny

A doctor at an insane asylum decided to take his patients to a baseball game. For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands. When the day of the game arrived. Everything went quite well.

As the National Anthem started, the doctor yelled, "Up Nuts", and the patients complied by standing up. After the anthem, he yelled, "Down Nuts", and they all sat back down in their seats.

After a home run was hit, the doctor yelled, "Cheer Nuts". They all broke out into applause and cheered.

When the umpire made a particularly bad call against the star of the home team, the Doctor yelled, "Booooo Nuts" and they all started booing and cat calling.

Comfortable with their response, the doctor decided to go get a beer and a hot dog, leaving his assistant in charge. When he returned, there was a riot in progress. Finding his tizzied assistant, the doctor asked, "What in the world happened?"

The assistant replied, "Well everything was going just fine until this guy walked by and yelled, "PEANUTS!"

My Scrap Room

I thought I would post my other rooms I have finished. This one was painted in December 2006 but is constantly evolving. And it will never be clean!

One more room ---4 to go!

The bright and sunny beach themed playroom/family room! Finally done, and already a mess.

Old Friends and New Friends

My childhood buddies with our kids 20 yrs later(or 25 if we start counting from the day we all met). Julie, Colleen and I. Julie's daughter was hiding in the back...my Jeff was just hiding his eyes pretending to be invisible...and Colleen left her other 3 at home!

The Guazzo Curse

This is the photo I have been looking for for 5 yrs! I thought it was lost forever.

This was taken at the 2001 Virginia Tech Hall of Fame Banquet. The gentleman to the far left is our dear friend Ricardo Van Scales who was inducted into the hall of fame that day, and then you see the infamous Coach Frank Beamer of the VA Hokies...and then the CURSE. My Dear Husband shaking the hand of coach telling him he is a Pitt fan and we are going to beat them in a few weeks. Ever since that day Pitt beat VA Tech both home and away...they finally left the Big East to get away from the curse. Now I have proof!

Candy Fest 2007

Ok, so I am home alone here this week (DH is in NC).  I am being a cool mom and let the boys camp out in Jeff’s room.  He is in his new toddler bed so he keeps falling asleep on the floor.  Anyway, I am down in my scrap room/office and head up to go check up on them (or really go grab a beer).  I see that there is a loot bag of candy from a pirate party on the counter that was not there before (in fact it was hidden in an upper cabinet).  SOOOO I go to see if they are asleep and what do I find?

 

12 lollipop sticks

3 smarties wrappers

And a VERY sticky 19 month old with a happy smile.

 

I regret that I didn’t take a picture.  I was too busy making sure there were no lollipop (suckers for you southerners) sticks up anyone’s nose.  (we had an incident a few years ago)

 

Needless to say I kicked some ass and sent that 4 yr old mastermind to bed in his own room. 

 

Oh the joys of motherhood!  Whose idea was it to have these kids?
