It could be a long day.

Tonight is Friend Night. That is just a friendly reminder, in case friend Ben is reading. We changed the day this week, because my in-laws are coming in tomorrow night. So, he asked me to remind him, like I would EVER let him forget. So, I’ve reminded him by a text message, a tweet, gtalk, email, and now a blog post. I like to give him that feeling that I am inescapable, because I am. I’d like to think that creeps him out just a little. ::insert evil cackle here::

I woke up a whole hour late today. When I wake up late on school days, I try to convince myself that Aidan has a cold so I don’t have to even bother. I’ll say something like, “Aidan we have to go really fast this morning or you’ll be late for school.” And then I’ll say, “Do you just want to stay home today?” It never works, she loves school. Then I’ll say, “Does your throat hurt?”  “Nooooo  mommy!”

I’ve been looking for reasons to get out of school since I was in Kindergarten. I usually succeeded too. I just told my mom that I didn’t feel good and then I give a fake little cough, and I’d be watching You Can’t Do That on Television, all day long. Thankfully, Aidan loves school. So I wont be teaching her how to write her own excuses in 4th grade, like my mom taught me.

My mom would also be like, “you want to stay out of school today and go shopping?”

“Yes Ma’am.”

Of course, I would want a friend to go, so we would talk Bekah’s mom into letting her go too. [Hi Bekah!]

So, that’s why I am unreliable and unable to commit to things. But I am happy with it. I’d like to think it makes me unique.

And the winner is…

I’ve been on twitter for a while now. I have a great many followers but, I feel it may have been a, “hey, you follow me, I follow you” type of thing. Plus, I have been following like 700 people, which it is impossible to keep up with 700 people on twitter. I’ve tried, but my children are starving because I can’t stop reading all these tweets. I mean, you have to tweet everything on twitter. Everything.

So, I made a new account so I can actually keep up with the folks I know on twitter and keep up with the tweets from the people I have tried to maintain an online relationship with. I’ve gone from 689 followers to like 9. But it feels honest. If you’re on twitter, and you’d REALLY like to follow me, because you want to know when I’m looking for my deoderant, you can, @ABossyBlog.

Anywho, my in-laws are coming this week. I am suppose to help a friend clean her house, and I have no idea where the free time to do that is going to come from. Maybe it will come from not reading 700 tweeters’ tweets. Also, I flipped a coin to see if I should focus more on blogging or sewing in 2009, sewing won. Don’t worry, I didn’t listen to the coin.

This morning, after all this talk of never getting married, Aidan told us she was going to marry one of her brothers. Ben said, “You can’t, it’s against the law to marry your siblings and cousins”

“But those are the only people I know!”

Thing is, we live in Alabama and I am just not sure Ben was right about that. I’m kidding! Hopefully.

AND, I have also decided to give the funniest blog award to Super Ninja Mommy at Two Under Two.  She got the most nominees. Plus, she made me giggle. So, go visit her, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I know her blog will prosper, because of this amazing, coveted, blog award. I’m gonna make a little award graphic thingy, and send it to her! Other blogs that were nominated, and you should also read are, Foolery , Cupcakes For Dinner, Betty nominated her hubby’s blog, http://thejoereview.com/category/humor/, and I am telling you to read my sister-in-laws blog, The Life and Times of Laura. Oh, Oh, Oh! and My sister-in-laws sister, Beth has a blog, Please Mom, Don’t sing.  All good stuff, people. All good stuff.

Well, I have some very important tweeting to do. I also need to eat, and I still can’t find my deoderant, and that aint good. I don’t usually say, “aint” but it felt appropriate.

Later taters!

I’m Back. ::weeeeeeee::

by The Boss

Aidan has informed me that she needs another sister.

“I’m serious mom, I need another baby sister.”

“No.”

Later that day…

“Honey, did you hear that Aidan would like to have another baby sister?”

“Is she planning on taking care of her?”

“Daddy! I need a baby sister!”

“What if the next one is a boy?”

[ next one!?? What "next one" ?!!!! When he said that, it was like his voice reached God's ear, and instantaneously I became pregnant. I'm not, but it was very very scary.]

“Aidan, why do you need another baby sister? You’ve got Zoe.”

“OK, Look, ” She says, “I need another baby sister to help me with cleaning my bedroom. You’ve been giving me a lot of work in there.”

“That’s just silly, raising children for the purposes of child labor is mommy’s job.”

And then….

This morning, Andrew and I were having a conversation. The conversation ended abruptly when he said two words, “You’re crazy!”

I had to gain composure,  because I will only allow my children to call me “crazy” from the ages of 14 to 18. Before or after that, it is considered disrespectful.

I am sure (I hope) you all missed my blog while it was down. All this server, web host stuff, that I don’t really understand. My friend, Isaac, worked it all out for me. He’s super duper. Well, kind of, he’d be more super if he actually came over once in a while. But I wont go into all that right now.

Glad to have things up and running again.
