Puppy Dogs and Rainbows Friday: I do these posts mainly for me,
to remind me on days that aren't so good, that my life is good, overall.
I hope you also enjoy them. I invite you to do the same. Link up if you
want (I really don't understand how that works) or comment to let me
know what has made your life shiny this week. As moms (and you
awesome dads that read this), we seldom have the time to see the
sparkles in our fog of dirty diapers, whining toddlers and constant need by others.
Moral: be sure to stop and smell the unicorns every once in a while.
I was given the PediaCare basket for review purposes. Really, I just wanted to give one of you free crap.
The worst thing is just how pitiful she is. The second worst thing is when the adults get sick too.
ReplyDeleteShe was SICK! Got to 104.7 one night. Ugh!
DeleteAwww, love the princess nap :)
ReplyDeleteit was awesome.
DeleteYou sure you don't need to keep that basket for yourself?
ReplyDeleteha. they sent me one and I have already used about half of the pain reliever and half of the hydration packs on TQC this week!
DeleteI entered but I realised you probably aren't allowed to post drugs to England... So if I won, I guess donate them to the next booze hound? I just like entering contests! Plus American drugs are way better than English ones, the sleeping pills I got over there on holiday are very effective...
ReplyDeleteNot sure of the rules. If you are the winner, I guess I will have to find out. Ha! Jolly good!
DeleteThe worst thing is that she's still too little to tell me she doesn't feel good. :(
ReplyDeleteAre the PBRs turned away from the camera intentionally? Because I still know they are PBRs. ;)
Also, I *heart* Fatty...especially in a tiny pink shirt.
It get SO MUCH EASIER when they can tell you!
DeleteNot intentional. I represent with my cheapassness!
She is my fluffy love.
I'm going to put my name in the hat for "worst mother in the world" but the worst thing about the kids getting sick is the increase in whining. I just can't stand it. (I do suck it up and not make them feel worse about it all, but I HATE all the whining!)
ReplyDeleteI am OK with it on day one, but by day three, I am so over it I could scream! Plus, your outnumbered. Ha!
DeleteListening to the whine is the worst...and before anyone get's their panties in a twist, they are 13, 19, and 21! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd the 21 yr old is married with a child and CALLS me from 400 miles away to whine!!!
Deleteanyone who gets their panties in a twist is currently being whined at...
DeleteThe worst is that the little one turns in to a total BRAT! Not even whining I could probably take that. Its awful. The sad thing is that is THE ONLY way I know she is really sick. When I can't take her being a total A-Hole for three days, to the doc we go.
ReplyDeleteHA!
DeleteThe worst thing is that I become a full-time bean bag, and if I try to stray away, like the seat belt alarm that doesn't shut the fuck up until you put your seat belt back on, she will whine and whimper until I return. I hates it! =/
ReplyDeleteI hates it made me laugh out loud.
DeleteHoly shit! Has Dad recovered from his night out? That picture is WILD! Who knew he was such a partier!! The look on his face is beyond priceless. He is such a willing subject, but in a sarcastically secret way, isn't he? I think he secretly lkikes being the object of all your readers affection in a "Where's Waldo?" sort of way. I can see him saying, "WTF? Again?". The he heaves a large, martyred sigh. Bless his heart.
ReplyDeleteThat sleeping princess is precious. It will be sad when they can no longer curl up like a cat.
Ha!
DeleteThe worst part is (no joke) not having the right kind of medicine. I look all through our medicine cabinet, only to find Tums, an expired bottle of Tylenol, and 52 mostly gone bottles of children's meds that don't help with whatever the sick-o's symptoms are, resulting in a trip to the drug store with the sick-o. Where's that bottle of meds next time? In the cabinet, expired, or it only treats fevers but now the kid just has a cough.
ReplyDeleteI hate that!
DeleteThe worst thing about kids getting sick is they can't tell you what's wrong and it's hard to know how sick they really are.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing is that you can't make it better...and they expect you can make EVERYTHING better!
ReplyDeleteYep!
DeleteThe shiniest part of my week was that I had to do a newsletter for my mom's group and advertise the annual Valentine's Day dinner. I slipped in a picture of two ladybugs doing it and totally got away with it. In fact, they all loved it. Total score (and not just for the ladybugs). The real best part was just what you said--seeing all of the good in the fog of the dirty diapers (and there were a lot around here this week--we had the Big D and I don't mean Dallas or Divorce). Even through all of those shit-piled moments, I always take a minute and realize how much I love my kiddos. :) Glad to have found and started following your blog, and congrats on doing so well with Circle of Moms!!
ReplyDeleteLadybug love. Ha.
