Oye Vey, it's Monday! What a crazy weekend at la casa de Nichole! It included lots a Merlot, an intense conversation regarding Judaism, friends spitting beer all over my kitchen (twice), Monkey puking his poor little guts out all over his bedroom thanks to my new Nemesis Taco Johns, a epic search for a new car seat for Mady-Lou , and mud plastered all over my freshly cleaned minivan. I am VERY glad to be back at work today.

My 2¢ regarding the Grammys:

• Whitney Houston was high (duh)

• Cold Play was AWESOME

• Kid Rock's performance was (very surprisingly) touching
• The "rap pack" was atrocious and I was very concerned for M.I.A's unborn child (she was due THAT DAY)!
• As I usually listen to talk radio, I am sometimes a little behind on current artists. Am I the only one that was shocked that Boyz II Men still makes music? And Robert Plant? I had no idea who Adele even was! I need to get with the program!
• Miley Cirus made a good attempt to look wholesome but we all know she is a teenage whore.
• The Jonas Brothers should not have been allowed to sing with the great Stevie Wonder. They BUTCHERED "Superstition"
• Carrie Underwood has the most amazing legs EVER! She is very talented, as well.
• I am pissed that I missed Radiohead live but I did catch it on YouTube. Love.
• Sugarland is very talented but that chick always looks SO sad when she sings.
• Jennifer Hudson forgot to take the napkin out of her shirt before going on stage but she is still gorgeous.
  

What I Want Wednesday

There's only one thing on my list for this week's What I Want:

You may not have a life outside your mommy, Got It?!

Monkey has taken Laurie Berkner out of his rotation for falling asleep music. His current fave is the soundtrack to Camp Rock.

*Sigh*

Time really does go by too fast.


I will never get tired Victor Vito. Luckily Mady-Lou will be at music-loving stage soon.

Oh, so you're a pot head

I have mentioned before how Shoes likes to make up his own vocabulary. I am getting closer and closer each and every day to kicking him in the face. Really. Today's mispronounced word:

Yahoo.

As in the website (Yahoo!). How can you NOT know how to say this word? Shoes likes to say Yeah-Hoo (think a synonym for yes and the sound an owl makes). Good Lord!


Also? Time is ALWAYS plural for him. He says timeS. As in "Most of the times, we do this." Marginal, yes, but annoying nonetheless.

If this vocabulary rubs off on me, please shoot me.

A possible cause for this deficiency has been brought to my attention. We live in a small college town and we were discussing whether or not drugs are an issue here.

Shoes: "Oh, if you walk by campus, you will get approached."

Me: "Gasp! Really?" (in complete shock, thinking of my precious children getting recruited into gangs)

Shoes: "Yeah. I got approached one night but there is no WAY I'm going to spend $30 on a dime bag!"

Uh, huh. This could really explain a lot.



P.S.

Showers are your friends. Embrace them.

It's not going to be about poopy diapers. Or maybe it is.

I would like to apologize in advance for the randomness that will be today's post. I have many points of interest that must be touched on.

1) First and foremost, I think I have discovered one of the greatest inventions in the whole entire world:




This beautiful garbage can is motion sensored. My knucklehead husbandMy wonderfully amazing husband purchased this for me this weekend. I now can simply walk up to the garbage can and it will open for me. A few seconds after I walk away, it will close itself. AWESOME! Probably American laziness at its best but awesome nonetheless.

2) This will brief because I am aware that most of my readers are not hard-core football fans but...

F*cking A, Steelers! WooHoo! You had me worried for a second!

Also? Bruce Springsteen was terrible. And there were few commercials that actually peaked my interest. The oddest thing, though, had to be the fact that Pedigree spent 3 MILLION dollars to bring awareness of the dog adoption drive. That 3 millions dollars spent for the 30 second commercial could have been better used, in my opinion. I'm not a marketing expert or anything but I'm just say'n...

3) In case you were wondering, I am not pregnant. I have never been so happy to see Aunt Flow in my whole entire life! It must have been stress that delayed her arrival. Stupid bitch always keeps me on my toes. I had opted not to have the Mirena implanted in to the walls of my vagina for what reason, again? I am seriously reconsidering this. Right now, I am trying the new pill that is supposed to bring fewer, lighter periods. I'm pretty skeptical but we'll see. The thing I am worried about is the chance that I could have some spotting all month long. Dude, I would rather have a week's worth of serious periodness than a little ALL month! Am I alone on this? Sorry, off to another subject now...

4) Now, even though (obviously) I am a very proud mommy and my children are the focus of my life, I try not to make this blog all about motherhood. I mean, of course I write about mi familia once in a while but I don't want this blog to be all about poopy diapers and spit-up and nap time. I don't think most people care about that stuff, mothers or not. I mean, sure, we all enjoy a humorous "my kid said...and it was SO funny" story but the day-to-day parenting stuff is, well, boring. I am trying to remember that there is more to life than kids. Although it doesn't' seem like it sometimes, it's true. I believe that in order to keep your sanity, you must do things for yourself. Maintain a life for yourself. A life that has little-to-nothing to do with children. I am not talking about just a monthly girls' night out and that sort of thing, I mean a day-to-day something that is about you, and only you (if you're a dad reading this, make sure your lovely wife does this and same applies for guys, too). It could be a favorite TV show, reading your favorite gossip magazine or website, having a blog...whatever it may be. I understand this is easier for some than others but even the smallest of things can help.

5) #4 was really a preface so that I could tell this story: Mady-Lou did the funniest thing while we were at a super bowl party. She was obviously having some issues going #2 and was grunting pretty hard. Then, the grunts turned into giggles. It was the oddest thing. She had a frown on her face and you could tell she was pushing but she was laughing. SO funny. By the time she actually got her, uh...stuff, out, our stomachs were sore from laughing so hard. I have never seen anything like it.

Shut up. I said this blog wasn't going to be ALL about kids and poop.
