Lit Moms

OK mamas.  This is a little scary.  No wait….to me, it is a LOT scary.  Getting lit when you have the tiny tots to take care of?  And, here, I thought my biggest problem of the week was The Destroyer learning to take off his diaper and crapping the carpet.  Now, not only do I have to worry about the lazy moms at the park who are too busy talking on their cell phones and drinking their Starbucks to watch their kids, I have to be weary of the ones that are high, too.  UGH. 

I am a big advocate of the no drugs policy.  I have NEVER, yes, you read correctly, NEVER tried any type of drug for recreational purposes.  I don’t even really drink alcohol.  Call me a teetotaler, a goodie two shoes or a dweeb, but that is just how I feel.  I actually listened to my parents and teachers when they said, “Say No to Drugs”.  I think this is a vital message that needs to be conveyed to our children.  Kids these days are dying from all kinds of stupid drug shit – it is a shame and such a waste.  I think these moms/parents need to stop worrying so much about themselves and focus more on their kids.  There are better ways to reduce stress than lighting up and smoking a joint.

Be high on life, bitches!

Asleep at the Wheel

OK – so it wasn’t at the wheel – it was on the bus.  And I was sleeping so heavily that a good samaritan hadto wake me up as I was the last person on the bus (and probably would have wound up riding the NJ/NY loop until lunch had they not).  I was so embarrassed.  I’ve been riding the bus to NYC for 5 years now and the train to Newark 5 years before that.  I’ve never fallen asleep like this or even missed my stop (though there were 2 close calls).  I guess that is what happens when 1) like a jackass you stay up way too late to watch a funny/cute movie with Amanda Bynes (Sydney White in case anyone cares!) and 2) the night before your kid drinks a ton before bed, pees the floor next to his bed, then takes over your bed so you have to sleep on the floor and then pees that in the morning, too. (it was a long night/morning of pee sheet laundry).

Amazing Grace

A dear friend of mine told me 2 weeks ago that her 8 year old niece was diagnosed with cancer.  Every time I hear a child has cancer, I wonder why?  How can a child so young get cancer?  It truly breaks my heart.  Upon finding out about Grace’s cancer, she was immediately sent for treatment.  I wanted to put together a boredom box for her, but I was informed that she was in need of some comfy pajamas.  Since I also know she probably won’t be able to enjoy any of her summer, I packed up a little fun pail of pjs and summer type stuff.  This is what we sent to Grace – Hello Kitty pajamas, a pinwheel, bubble, a mini playdough set, 2 sticker/activity books and glitter crayons.

Fun Pail for Grace

Fun Pail for Grace

Please keep Grace and her family in your prayers!

Weird Searches

I know I post some wacky crap on this website, but this was listed in my top searches list yesterday:

Kids peeing in dodge grand caravan

Now, I’ve posted about kids throwing up in a dodge caravan, but thankfully I haven’t had the experience of pee (though in hindsight pee might have been easier and more pleasant to clean up).  And I hope to keep it that way.

Oh, and is there some difference in cleaning up pee in a dodge grand caravan vs. any other car?  Ammonia people.  And even that didn’t take out ALL of the throw-up smell.

Are My Kids Going to be OK?

My kids (and I) have been ridiculously sick lately.  I’ve never thought of our family as the sickly type, but lately another kid breathes on us and we get some kind of cold, runny nose, fever, or other (really minor in the grand scheme of things) plagues (and I seem to get it 3 times as bad as they do).  But, this new swine flu epidemic is making me nuts….literally.  First, you hear it is spreading faster than wild fire.  Then, the news asks, did the CDC make too much of a big deal out of it.  More schools close.  People are dying.  Toddlers are dying.  I’m so paranoid.  Yesterday, CheezWaster had a fever.  I don’t know why and it appears to be gone today.  This morning I heard on the news that another child had a fever, the parents gave him Tylenol, put him to bed and when they checked on him, he was blue.  They immediately took him to the hospital and he died.  He was exposed to people with flu like symptoms.  Scary – that is all I can say.  We haven’t been exposed to people with the flu, but I commute to New York City and my dad picked up a wicked cough from god knows where.  People don’t stay home when they are sick.  They schlep their sick kids everywhere.  That gives me cause for concern.  And for paranoid folks like me, you have to wonder if this isn’t some type of germ warfare.  I know thousands of people die from the everyday flu every year and I’m sure I am being overly cautious these days, but in this world you have to be.  Take care and be safe!
