Exposed

Inevitably the day arrived; the day that hubby and I would have to scramble around, look for cover and make up a crazy, stupid story. Yes...that day came and it was quite hilarious! I knew it was coming but I didn't know when and I didn't expect it to be so soon.

You know how crazy busy it's been around here recently - working full time while trying to be a mom and wife, while planning a conference on my "spare time". So, something had to give, and s-e-x was that thing. I know, right....what a bummer!

So the other day I got home relatively early and princess was watching "On Demand" (her favorite) so hubby nudges me and invites me upstairs. I say why not because there was no time like that time and princess is usually good for a twenty minute block when she's watching a show On Demand. Hubby goes upstairs without notification to princess and I follow a few minutes later ostensibly to use the potty.

We get it going really quickly because time was of the essence. We're pretty much into it as we hear the pitter patter of little feet as she makes her way upstairs. Hubby grabs one cover leaving me very exposed so I rush for another one that's close by and we lay down under the covers.

"What are you guys doing?" she said very inquisitively.
"Oh, just relaxing and watching tv." we responded.
"Why are you watching tv up here?" suggesting that it didn't make any sense.
"You should come watch On Demand with me!" she said.
"Sure thing!" I said hoping that she would leave the room because I couldn't move from the position I assumed because I was undressed under the towel that I grabbed for cover.
"Let's go mommy" she said as she walked out the door.
"Phew!" I remarked to hubby "That was a close one."

I thought we would get a "pass" until she was about five but I didn't think that we would have to reserve activities at age three. How have you handled this situation - because I'm not the only one?

Raise Your Hand If...

(Excuse me for just one second while I rant and rave and try to get some comic relief out of it.)

Raise your hand if:

1) You wake up almost every morning dead tired mad at yourself and wondering why the h*ll you stayed up so.late.again. only to go to bed even later that same night.

2) You really want a dog, your kids all want a dog, you had a dog before and the family did perfectly fine with him but one day, shortly after you had a baby and your mind wasn't really in the right place, you let your husband talk you into letting the dog go live with your parents "just until the baby got a little older" but when she did get older, your husband refused to allow the dog to come back and the dog has since gotten so use to living in his "temporary" housing, five years later, that he doesn't mesh well with the family anymore. And you and the kids have already found the replacement dog about five or six times yet your husband refuses to let the family have a dog. Even though he's the only one that doesn't want one. And he's outvoted 4 to 1.

3) You work about six or eight jobs with only one that pays the bills.

4) You sometimes wonder if you are the only person in the house that knows where the extra toilet paper is kept.

5) You can't help but wonder if it would be easier to just cut all but an inch or two of your hair and call it a day.

6) You go to the gym but don't lose weight.

7) You eat french fries even though you spent 1.5 hours sweating the hair out that you just spent 3 hours at the salon doing.

8) You want to trade your mommy car in for a two door BMW with no back seat.

9) You will never drive a minivan but you will drive a car big enough to fit a minivan in because those are the only cars that offer all the same bells and whistles that a minivan does.

10) You really should be working instead of blogging right now or reading other blogs.

11) You wonder why you seem to be the only one who understands the homework situation in your house.

12) You don't have a nice watch but your husband does and you're at least 32 years old and should have at least one nice one by now. (Fergie, we know you're hand is up for this one).

13) You always have several loads of clean laundry around the house that seem to never get folded and put away but instead, serve as the source of clothes that end up being used throughout the week. (Hey, it's much easier to keep everyone's clothes in one crumpled pile in a basket than to fold and put away all those clothes away, right?)

14) You drink wine with dinner because you need it to make it through homework and bathtime.
HAPPY HUMP DAY EVERYONE!

A night like no other

As you may know (if for no other reason than the fact that we've been posting, facebooking and twittering about it for the past week or so), we filmed our first episode of The Verdict on momtv.com last night and it was.so.much.fun!

Trust me when I tell you that it was a comedy of errors throughout the night and it felt like we were on an episode of Seinfeld. We had a plan and that went out the window! But, as mamas, we adjusted. All in all, it was fun to be in the same place at the same time with the mamas just chatting like we always do.

AND...an added bonus was that after the show was all said and done, we got a girls night out. We stayed up until 4:30 in the morning eating, drinking, laughing, sharing stories and getting advice. It was a mamas slumber party and it was SO overdue!

Anyway, check out the replay or join us for our next show live from Chi-town as we attend the BlogHer conference. We will be streaming live from our Blogalicious meet-up event "The Lush Experience". We are dead serious when we say it's a night not to miss!

Need to Mow Your Lawn?

No, this is not another post about my Husband spending recklessly to do our landscaping. This is about the funniest commercial I've seen in some time. I just had to post it.


This tool is not in Hubby's garage, LOL. (In fact, this commercial flew right over his head, had to make him watch it twice).

Sometimes you just need to laugh

I worked about 12 hours today and it was crazy hectic. Anyway, I got home tonight and DD and her dad are out painting the town blue. So I have the house to myself - yeah!!! I flipped through the channels and low and behold I find my absolute favorite show in the world - "The Cosby Show". I watched this episode tonight and it really took the edge off - and it made me realize just how important it is to get a good laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFY0HBkUm8o

Also....here's my favorite episode - The Gordon Gartrell shirt - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crnPfls0fHw

Laugh Out Loud Funny

Unfortunately I'm not as tech savvy as most of you so I can't figure out to upload this video.
But please click on this link to get a taste of some funny. The entire song was on YouTube but now it's gone. If anyone can find the whole clip, please let me know.



Thank you Tanyetta at Days Like These for introducing me to this mom/comedian. Her name is Anita Renfroe.



Happy Monday!
