Maybe You Really Didn't Want to Know

I have had lots and lots of little blog post ideas running through my head but I can't seem to fish them out into full blown posts. So that means that it is time once again for me to clear my head and make the air a little more stinky. That's right its time for some Blog Farts (phrase coined by Jaci).

******

Every morning we wake up. Every morning I am hungry and the kids are hungry. They are not shy about letting me know this. They whine and crab at me while I get my coffee ready. They whine and crab at me while I change their diapers. I ask them if they want to eat and I get a resounding, YES! I make breakfast and set it in front of everyone and..... no one eats! Happens every single morning. If they don't start eating it, I just stop making it.

******

For me, one of the things that I must wear every time I get dresses is a bra. I have some fun, sexy bras and some not so sexy fun bras. But I have no favorite bra. No, that bra died a long time ago and I have not been able to find a replacement. This makes me sad. I would give anything to find a bra that I did not have to fight with all day long. One that provided comfort and support with a little bit of sexy. The one special bra that I felt good wearing. *sigh*

******

I am the mother in this household. But I have some one that is giving me a run for my money. Claire is trying to take over the job of keeping her brother's in line. I think this little video says it better than I could.


If you need a translations, she is saying "Quinn, NOW! Quinn NOW!" And you can see him running and hiding in the corner by the chair. The rest of the babble is Jake and then Claire turns to quiet him. See, I told you she is totally getting this whole mom thing down.

******

I don't know about other wine drinkers out there but I kind of like this no cork thing. At first, I couldn't believe that some wine markers would put a twist cap on wine. But it is actually most convenient. You see on those really bad days, when I just need to have a glass of wine, I can just twist and sweet relief is there. No messing with a cork screw, no trying to get the paper off, just twist off cap and pour. Come to Mommy.

******

One of these days, I should really post one of my first drafts when I try and write a post while watching TV. It is really funny but also very confusing. Most of the time, I start my typing my thoughts and then end up typing what I am listening to. I guess multi-task writing is not one of my strong suits.

Thank you for the laugh this morning! I can agree with every single point!

And the whole wine bottle/cork thing? I'm so tired of having little pieces of cork floating in my wine or worry that I'll lose an eye trying to pull a cork out.

Great blog farts! LOL!

Blog farts, that's funny.

I am a wine lover too and while it is convenient, I'm still having a difficult time getting past the no cork thing...it's just too weird for me. I like the sound of the cork popping too...ah, sweet release!

Z has taken to finger wagging, which I'm afraid he has gotten from me, "Do you understand me?"

It's frightening when we see our mothering in them. Clearly Quinn was terrified. I love him hiding behind the chair.

Brandy said...

I'd say you multi-task just fine with all those babies around!

Susie said...

I love your randomness:-)

Tamara Jansen said...

I am sooooo definitely a wine drinker and I've decided I prefer the cork to the screw top. It just feels a little more refined to pull the cork. Twisting off the top makes me think I'm having a glass of Coke or something :)

Love that little video clip!

Alicia said...

i love mother claire!!! i have a feeling that's what presley is going to be like!!

and the breakfast thing...omg yes!! my kids do that and it drives me NUTS!

mommy nurse said...

Little mama! too cute!

Unknown said...

Love the blog farts (thankfully I can't smell them over here on the East side of the state... LOL) and I appreciate your thoughts on screw caps on wine! MUCH easier to grab a bottle when you're out and about too and not have to worry about how you're going to open it! :-)

Laughing over your typing what you're listening too. When I was in college, I fell asleep in class while taking notes. I was trying really hard to "look" like I was awake and taking notes and tried to keep writing despite my rubber necking. Later, when I went to look over my notes after class, I realized my writing was ALL OVER the page at funny angles and I apparently started writing what I apparently was dreaming about...not what was being discussed in class!

Also...(ok...this is like my longest comment ever!) - in college again - I was working as a receptionist and went to answer the telephone...but was looking at the "hold" button on the phone so I answered like this "Hello, Residence Life, this is Barb, May I HOLD you?" (instead of HELP you?) OMG...I about died! My boss was sitting about 5 feet away and literally had to leave the office for a few minutes to compose herself she was laughing so hard!!!

So, do you feel better after letting out your toot toot? Hah.

Unscrewing the red wine - funny! It's that bad sometimes huh!?

Lani said...

Amen on the breakfast thing... mine enjoy throwing it more than eating it. Drives me insane.

Anonymous said...

oh. i feel you on the bra thing. why are *the favorites SO hard to replace????

claire is going to be a most excellent mama. lol. she's doing a better job than me right now ;)

wife.mom.nurse said...

your farts are killing me.

Ok, now i am laughing too hard to type!

Love that little girl- she is getting great mommy practice!

Juliana said...

Haha. I need to do this. I have had so many random thoughts that I simply have not blogged at all. I should do this!

Julia said...

That elusive bra!!!! Drat. And I love when the little ones learn to be the mom so early. Save me the effort of being a parent. Hee hee... ;)

Came to visit from Momalicious and wanted to say Hi!!

Gracey said...

Blog farts - what a brilliant idea!

Btw, I fight with my bras, too. As for the writing while watching tv thing, I have tried it myself. Several interesting posts could have come out of this, but alas! They make no sense at all!

Givinya De Elba said...

I saw that long message you put as your "Hello!" message in Google Talk - that one about the cork vs screw-top wine bottles! I was going to email and agree with you.

Loved the video, I watched it and found myself saying "Oh babe, you are SO totally buried with children!" And that was without Hayden in the clip, or at least without me noticing Hayden, if he was there.

It's a bit loud here for me to hear the clip properly.

That's because we have two little neighbour boys over. So we have three boys and a girl here (and a sleeping baby.) Hmm - three boys and a girl. Getting my own slice of buried with children.

Mwa said...

I just found the perfect bra after years of not having one at all. In fact, I think this may be my first perfect bra ever. You need one. This is worth putting some woman hours in for.

Gretchen said...

Wait they make wine bottles with corks? I thought Strawberry Hill was the best stuff around...

Unknown said...

Gotta love the screw top - it's the easy access top for wine lovers!! Just wish I could have some wine right now *sigh*
Stopping by from the Mom-a-licious linkathon =)

Lisa M said...

love your "blog farts" ;)
I so hear you about the bra thing. I too have said goodbye to my favorite bra. I have a close second, but it's a little itchy from the lace. SIGH.

Im' now off to check out Jaci's blog and the Mom-a-licious linkathon!

See ya SITSta!

Lisa M said...

Hm.. maybe I should call you my WelcomSITSta instead.. hmm.. I'll have to think about that new moniker lol

AiringMyLaundry said...

I don't have a favorite bra either. Ahh well..

I hate when I get blog farts. Sometimes I tell Tom, "Could you DO something so I can have something to blog about?" and he's all, "EXCUSE me?"

Cristin said...

I went so many years without wearing a bra at all... I still sort of resent the damn thing.. if my saggy little a cups would let me get away with it I would still be going bra-less...

Emily said...

The twistie caps have grown on me too. And keep searching for the perfect bra. I'm a big bra wear-er too...in fact, my hubs thinks has told me multiple times that I wear one a little too much! ;)

cat said...

I can not get over the cork thing! It somehow really just feel so wrong not to pull out a cork.

Summer said...

You know you really mean unscrew and drink....who are you kidding, you don't pour. =)

Sarahviz said...

I agree with the wine/cork thing. Makes it much quicker to gulp from the bottle...uhhh, I meant to pour into the glass like the REFINED WOMAN I AM.
