Since I had wasted so much time getting my old stuff back, I also decided to add some new stuff too...which I frankly have no idea how it works, but is doing a fantastic job of junkin' up my page ;) From now on, I'm leaving the blog layouts to the professionals. So, if you hear of any free blog layout giveaways, let me know...I'll totally register!
Oh yeah...this is what my 3 year old was cooking-up while his mommy was on the computer...
Gotta remember to hide that (tampon) box...it's not the first time he's opened them all up...you can bet I'm saving this one for just the right girl someday :)My blog fiasco yesterday caused me to drink an (extra) excessive amount of caffeine. Last night I laid in bed (forever) trying to come up with some good post ideas...nothing. NOTHING?!? But I did start making a mental list of words that I overuse on my blog & comments...
- totally
- cute
- LOVE
- so
- adorable
- fantastic
- great
- ...
- :)
I think that about covers it. I know it's bad when I start to annoy myself with those words. My vocabulary standard is very, very low...and I'm still annoyed. I need some new phrases...new words of encouragement to share. I've got nothing.
I need your help. Need some new words. Help me.
In real life...I overuse words too. I say Good Grief! all the time...for everything. I'm also notorious for the phrases "It'll be fine" "It'll work out" "Good enough."
The phrases I use with my kids should be a post of its own...the last few days is has been
- turn the hose OFF!!!!
- go to your bed until I tell you to come down.
- stop touching each other...don't even look at each other.
- no you can't have a snack, you just ATE.
- Jake, you go get the diaper and leave Odie alone.
Can you tell we're adjusting to summer vacation!?! *smiles* OK, let me have it...what are you saying?

"NO YOU CAN'T HAVE A SNACK!! YOU JUST ATE!"
ReplyDeleteThere. That's what it sounds like at our house.
Usually followed with, "IF YOU ARE STILL HUNGRY YOU SHOULD HAVE EATEN MORE DINNER (OR LUNCH)!!!"
I stock bananas and apples for the "can I have a snack" question.
ReplyDeleteI thought those were popcicle wrappers at first.... Funny!
What are the wrappers? Am I missing something? I thought they were popcicles too??
ReplyDeleteOh I SO TOTALLY LOVE your funny post! I think we over-use some of the same words. I've been realizing how much I use the word SO and it's way too much!!!
ReplyDelete*No you can't have a snack, you just ate. (That one is said a lot here too)
ReplyDelete*Stop fighting!
*Did you hit your sister?
Yes, adjusting to everyone being together 24/7 is big isn't it?
Once we get moved, I intend to get some sort of organization going on for at least a bit of our day so that maybe we can all just get along for a while. =)
Ahh....
ReplyDelete"Leave the dog ALONE!"
"No, you can't have a snack... we just ATE" (also popular around here, too!)
"Go stand in the corner."
"Did you hit your sister? Then why
is she crying?"
"Everyone keep your hands to yourself!!"
"Lizzie (Dog) - NO MORE POOPING in the HOUSE!"
Glad to know I am in good company!
That picture is so funny!
ReplyDeleteMy kids are always hungry too! I feel like I am always asking my kids, "is that how we talk?" or "how should you ask?" especially to the 3 yr. old.
I tell the boys all the time..." go find something to do...it is not my job to entertain you..."
ReplyDeleteBUT I seeing that pic...I wouldn't recommend that one at your house!
Hi Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when that happens. I alwasy end up losing all of my stuff when I mess around with my template. I have never used this site, I didn't find out about it until I moved to wordpress but she has free blogger templates and how to use load them to your site. http://lenatoewsdesigns.blogspot.com/
She has a lot of cute ones.
Here lately I have been saying ~ Are you kidding me ~ alot. I also tell my kids not to look at each other. And I use those same words OVER AND OVER in blog post and comments. Try dictionary.com that's what I do when I want to use a big word (heehee) and click on the thesaurus ~
What a crack up! I'm giggling extra hard because once in high school, I was holding the youth pastor's toddler on my lap and was letting her play with my purse. In the middle of a serious moment of teaching, she grabbed a tampon from inside my purse and held it up excitedly and squeealed "It's a Straw!" Yes, as a junior in high school, I was utterly and completely MORTIFIED.
ReplyDeleteI tend to get hung up on the same phrases, too... These are things I catch myself saying CONSTANTLY...
"It's all good"
"No worries!"
and the grandaddy of them all
"youknowwhatimean?"
Once my husband drew this to my attention, and I realized it's literally part of every other sentence I say! YouknowwhatImean? (kidding!) I've been trying to break this annoying habit, but not having much success. = )
Thanks for a good giggle this afternoon. = )
Tracy
Sarah you do say "It will be fine" alot just had to giggle on that one. I think it is time the boys come to grandmas.
ReplyDeleteI meant come to grandmas for a visit and give mom a break my house is way to clean:) missing them we should talk:) Have a great day. Mom
ReplyDeleteLove the "stop touching each other... don't even look at each other"
ReplyDeleteI often say, "don't touch your sister" "why is the baby crying"
"quiet, you'll wake your sister"
:-) Good luck with the blog redo... I am clueless on that stuff...I leave it to my engineering husband.
Well, at least he didn't cook up and meal with the tampons and the "serve" them to a visitor!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am certainly at a different stage than the rest of your readers....what I am saying?...
no you can't have the car tonight, I need it!
No, I will not give you any more money...use your own
How about getting a JOB!
And then to myself..a lot... who was supposed to tell me that 3 year olds and 16-18 year olds can act exactly the same?!!
Ok, this seriously cracked me up. The picture made me laugh (for real, I'm not just saying that, and I hardly ever truly laugh out loud when reading blogs!! :))
ReplyDelete"Get down off that chair!!" (She's into climing on everything in sight right now).
"No, I don't know where your Pooh Bear is....you go find it."
"Take just one more bite, and then you're done".
"All done with TV time....no more Dora!" Every single day.
Oh, and supposedly overused phrases that you use in your blog? They are what make you "you"....and I love it!
What a great picture! You will definitely have to pull that one out to show to his fiance someday.
ReplyDeleteSayings...hmmmmmmm...I think the thing I say the most is:
"Why can't the two of you be in the same room with each other for 2 seconds without arguing about NOTHING???"
.........Said to my 9 yr. old daughter and 7 yr. old son.
I say, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!
ReplyDeleteAdjusting to summer vacation is fun! By the time we are adjusted it will be back to school!!
Do they just create with your tampons or do they ask "Mommy what's this?? What's that for?"
Too funny!
Okay the tampons cracked me up. Thanks for being real enough to show your tampons!
ReplyDeleteMy phrase to sum up our summer.....so far is "We have embarked on a summer eat-a-thon." 3 boys and friends means you go through a LOT of food.
I just told somebody today that Tatumn was doing "totally fine" ( we had a big scare Friday night that landed us in the er) and she said in her sassy little voice. I am totally fine!
I say good grief all the time. Or good gravy. My life before the Lord was flavored with much colorful language!
Are you kidding me?! Is one of my go to's.
Wrap it up. At the pool, tv time, time to get in the car. I even have a sign that I use when they are out of ear shot!
Have a good evening. I need to post on my blog but time is so limited these days!
Hugs, Steph
That pic is a classic.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff!
ReplyDelete"Stop screaming!" has been an all too often demand by me lately. What is it about kids - do they just get these urges to try out their vocal chords for no apparent reason?? Three and 18 months both seem to be the age of the scream. The irony is Sometimes I tend to scream the aforementioned request... :)
That picture is so funny! I wonder what the boys thought they were playing with?
ReplyDeleteDid your son ask you what those things were in the wrapper? You could sure save a lot of money on toys. Just buy him a box of tampons.
ReplyDeleteHere's what I've been saying lately;
How can you be hungry? You just ate.
Somebody tee teed and didn't wipe or flush (GROSS!). How many times do I have to go over that?
Are you just gonna watch TV all day?
Go play outside.
SEPARATE! (After they've been arguing, and then they cry to get back together. ?????)
This is the short list. I don't want to take up anymore of your comment space with my rambling.
Hi Sarah
ReplyDeleteI ran across another free blogger templates site tody. This are SO cute
