I've finally found it!!!

We all love the "classics", whether that classic is The Shining or Breakfast at Tiffany's. Most of my favorite classics are from the 80s-90s. The last two years, I have been trying to get the kids to watch some of my fave movies from that time era. Needless to say, they found The Shining BORING. Seriously. Zoey was a bit intrigued by Chucky at one point, but got bored with him eventually. But today was the day the three of us watched an entire movie from the 90s. Thrilled I was. Fib a little, I did. The movie was Jumanji. I had the board game when I was quite younger. So the fib I told was that whatever happens in the movie really happened when you played the game. I don't think Zoey really fell for it. But she said she wants to play the game. All in all, they loved the movie and that made my heart happy. It's hard to get the kids to enjoy things you liked when you were a kid. 

Zoey getting freaked out by the spiders! 

On to other randomness of my day (haters beware *cough cough*, Cory):

As a mother of both genders, when one acts up you can't help to wonder "what would it be like to have two boys/girls??" In my reality, I actually have two boys. I'm certain there are more boy toys than girl toys in this house. Maybe that's why Zoey has so many clothes, so she at least looks like a girl in my eyes. Sure, she likes Frozen, but she'd prefer Minecraft. Anywho, today I had two girls. My son was a more than willing participant in having his nails painted. How could I say no?! 

He has very nice hands! And shockingly presents them well! Ok here are Zoey's...

Now, a little funny from last week for you:

Zoey colored a picture of a penguin on her ABCmouse.com game that looked quite weird to me. Our convo went a little like this:

Me: "Why does that penguin look like he's on drugs?"

Zoey: "He's on ice.  -.- "

Bah dun dun tss

No, he was in fact standing on ice. And she definitely gave me squinty eyes. I think we are late in talking about what drugs are. Drugs are bad, mmkay.

While you were sleeping....

I know I have taken so many embarrassing (what will be embarrassing later in life) photos of the kids as they've grown. Some even that were purposely staged by the kids, but I know when I show them off later in life they will be mortified that they even did those things. For instance, Jax is a character, and WEIRD as hell. I thought I was weird, but he goes beyond my weirdness. He pulled his pants down to wag his butt at me... And of course waited for me to take a picture. Typing this out makes me feel a lot weirder than showing the pic to my parents and in laws..... Oh well, this is daily life for us. 

So, there I was one evening, looking on the kids' Nintendo DS' (aka Gameboys). They are able to take pictures on them, 90% of them were pictures of walls, floors, just random things not worth keeping the pictures for. So, I'm going through clearing up space, deleting these random pics. Then I come across some Zoey selfies, and............. Me and Cory Sleeping! Oi. 

   

Duck lips? Seriously?? Le sigh.... 

 

I think someone is peeking in at us from the closet!! 

   

Representing that Texas A&M while I snooze.

And of course, I find these kinds of pictures on my own phone!! Kaitlin and I were getting our nerd on. 

I'm afraid to even look at their iPads. Maybe that will be a future post. 

Moral of this story: Turn camera functions off on kids' electronics. Or just leave it on, find the creepy pics and post on your blog for great laughs! 

They only look sweet and innocent while they're sleeping.

Let Bygones be... Laugh-Ons??? Yes, let's.

As we know, I am an introvert and I take medication for depression (now you know that tidbit). I have to say, it works wonders for me. Anyone that knows me well can attest to that. But, like everyone, some days you get too busy to remember to take your meds at the same time everyday, or you may accidentally forget that day altogether. On those days, things get hairy-scary for EVERYONE. My poor, dear husband, who works afar, who I love dearly for sacrificing his life away from us, tends to get my wrath in many, many texts. Last night, in my feeble attempt to let my lovely MIL know how she may at times, unintentionally, hurt my feelings by not visiting my home way more often than she does, I went back through messages to my husband, finding my "complaints", that, I may add, he apparently has never mentioned to his mother. Shame on him for not being the middle man in helping me in my time of needing adult-ship!! It was a huge laughing ordeal last night.  So, to start this "laugh from the past" segment..... This:: 

My son, who is 4 and a HUGE "strong-willed" child.... Honestly, that does not even describe him well enough. There is no controlling him whatsoever, a good and very BAD thing. At this moment, I do not know what the fight was about, I don't want to go back and watch this video, nor will I show you. It's a "normal, typical" fight for me and him, unfortunately. I should be used to our fights by now. But, I never will be. But this is one of those instances where I want my husband to feel the pain that I was enduring at that moment. Does it work? Probably not, but I'd like to think so. 

Exhibit A:

So, here you see I say I regret having a second child. I honestly don't. Everyone says something they don't mean at least once, or multiple times (given the circumstances) in their lives. As we see in Exhibit A, my husband tries to pull a funny one on me, like he always does, asking if I want a third....  I hid my two word answer for a reason... Starts with an F and ends with a NO. 

Exhibit B:

And the hubs with more jokes... TWINS? Ha. Don't think so my friend. To bring this to a conclusion, when I saw the last two messages and read them aloud to my MIL and SIL...... They were literally rolling on the floor laughing at my expense. I don't know what I was thinking that day, well, I have a clue. My son is a jerk-wad sometimes, and I needed to vent. So, with me reading a few more of these wonderful messages, my MIL says to me "OMG you could start a blog!!" And here I am. 

"Good Luck"

Howdy y'all!

Welcome to your newest weekly digest about a nerdy mom, her sour patch kids, and equally sour kitty cat. I'm not gonna lie... Most posts will be about funny stuff that goes on in my life, but there may be some seriousness-ly, might be boring to you, but sad to me, kind of stuff. Get over it. My page. Period.

Well, I suppose to start, I should tell you a little about myself. Maybe some stuff you don't already know (like, I have two kids and a cat...). As of right now (this second!!!!), my daughter is 5, my son is 4, and my cat is 10 months. Let's step back a few...

HIIIII, I'm Danielle!!! I am an introvert, living with TWO extrovert children. It gets quite overwhelming, not just some of the time, but ALL of the time. And you will see what I mean in this here bloggy blog.

In my recent nerdiness, I have taken up collecting Funko Pop! Vinyls. You can find out what those are here: Funko. And/or you will find out more later from me..... I also play WoW (World of Warcraft), DAILY. More often than I care to admit. It's just so much fun for an introvert. More on that later as well. And sometimes, I get a little crafty with my Cricut. Did I mention, couch potato??

I say this blog will be a weekly thing, but if I get a wild hair up my butt, you might get a few extra posts during the week. Like, say, tomorrow. I'm going to need to vent a little, or save it for Monday, but I will definitely have a story for you that gave me the idea to start this bloggy blog. (And FYI, my iMac is getting on my last nerve with the autocorrect, changing bloggy to bloody...)

On a side note, I get like a sailor sometimes with my dirty mouth. I may or may not make words look like this: sh!t. I guess it will all depend on my mood at that moment. I more than likely won't get into any TMI stuff, but all-in-all, this will hopefully be a humorous blog for all to read.
