Tuesday Ten!

I feel like I should make a perpetual To Do List. It would have things I need to do every day, like brush my teeth and play Angry Birds. Then, I would add things I need to do once and get it over with, like go to the OB and have her check out my hoo-ha or have my mustache ripped off by hot wax. You know, stuff like that. It would probably work a lot better than the Post-Its stuck all over random areas of my work space with things like passwords and dates and dollar signs.

The weeks are going by so quickly, I can hardly keep up. I just realized that we only have a week and a half of school left and then I'll be sending my baby off for the summer. You'd think I'd be used to it by now. Instead, I sob uncontrollably on my way out of the airport, leaving garbled voice mails for my best friend and comforting myself with ice cream. 

Here's your Tuesday Ten! 

1. You know you're a vetted mom of boys when you can make an important phone call and not even flinch when your sons come running into the bedroom with their underwear around their ankles, waving their penises (penii?) at you. 

2. I think I may have said this last week, but it needs to be reiterated. Buy clothing the correct size, ladies. Stop stuffing yourselves into Ghostbusters t-shirts that are obviously too small. And for the love of God buy a freaking bra that fits. 

3. One might think that you could be easily bored flinging brightly colored angry birds at little green pigs. One would be wrong. 

4. If I had a genie, I would wish for three things. A lifetime supply of frozen yogurt in my favorite flavors (with toppings), Chick-fil-A for life, and coffee every time I snapped my fingers. Or, money. And then I could just buy all of that crap and the genie could grant me two super lame wishes like world peace or something...

5. When I have a bad day, I comfort myself by remembering that I'm not nearly as awful as you are. 

6. Hey there pair of lesbians making out on the lawn of this free family event. Could you maybe save the groping for dark alleys and uncomfortable holiday dinners? 

7. I'm starting to have phone envy. I love my Blackberry and will treasure it always with it's hot pink cover and happy little dink every time I get a text. But, last night I stole my friend B's EVO to play Angry Birds (I know!) during Book Club and I think I turned four shades of green. 

8. I have the overwhelming urge to go scrub my baseboards. Do they make a medication for that?

9. Hi. Stop emailing me spam, forwards and viruses. Thanks. 

10. I've started referring to myself as G. I think I kinda like it. It's almost gangster, but not really. It makes me sound a whole lot cooler than I actually am. I'm gonna go with it.

Hey, G -
You're the coolest mom of 4 boys that I know. - T

Hollis said...

What up, G!! I love Penii, it made me giggle!

Elizabeth said...

Go with G. I haven been dubbed E for awhile now and it had grown on me. Plus it makes it quicker to sign comments.

I like G. It does sound way cool. Much better than B. Or, worse yet...BJ or now I'm BS. Yea. My poor kids will be so made fun of when that realization is made by the other school kids. :/

And you know, you are due for a new phone. They make pretty little pink cases for the new phones too. Just do it!!!

Lin said...

1. Ha...my husband does that! TMI? Sorry.

2. I think ladies need to pay extra attention to this one. It's so important (to my eyes) that big gals sport clothes that fit.

3. Yes, they would be wrong.

4. Dude, now I want Chick-fil-A. I swear that stuff is like chicken crack...delicious chicken crack.

6. What? You mean you don't want to watch two clams fighting? Geez G- you know some ppl have to pay for that type of 'entertainment' lol.

7. Dont talk to me about EVO envy. The hubs has one & everytime I see him playing Angry Birds on it I want to grab it from his hands & throw it on the floor. If I cant have one, neither can he :(

8. You're always more than welcome to come do mine too. You can consider it a mini vacation to CA ;)

10. I can dig it.

I like "G," too - and yay to a lifetime supply of fro-yo and Chick-Fil-A (headed there for sweet potato waffle fries AGAIN today!! GAWD!!). And the penis thing - oh yeah. Only in our house it's the, "Po-po." These boys, they're just born with no shame!!

Monica and family said...

Well technically it would make you "gangsta". :>)

On a side note, I'm glad I'm not the only one with a little boy that pulls some of these antics. Not all but some. Now I can't imagine multiplying that by four. Ouch.

Renee said...

I've had the overwhelming urge to scrub my baseboards for months...so naturally I've never done it (probably won't ever do it either!).

Maybe your genie wish could be for money everytime you snap your fingers. How convenient?

Gucci Mama said...

I am so deeply in love with Number 5 I want to marry it.

just call me jo said...

Even I in my finickiness never really have an urge to scrub baseboards. I'm such a slob. I always love your lists, G.

Sandy said...

Yo G! I like it too.

PinkPowerRangerMom said...

Hey G---feel free to come and scrub my baseboards ANY time! And in our house the penis called "the weasel" don't know why, but the boys just started calling it that one day. Boys are weird! :)

I think you should totally come over and scrub my baseboards. That would rock!
Also, Angry Birds rock! I've downloaded every.single.game Angry Birds has come out with and play them every day.

You should totally stick with G.

Karen said...

I once spent an entire weekend playing Angry Birds. Couldn't believe it when it was actually Sunday night.

Rebecca said...

Hey G! I'll totally support your insatiable urge to clean baseboards...and have a few spare ones for you that you're welcome to!

:)
