ABCs

I have a confession. I am a sucker for cutesy, all-about-me type of posts. I have officially been sucked in to the ABCs post that I originally saw Gabriella do. I have no shame.

A = Age: 12. Just checking if you tuned out already. In truth – late 20s but cannot wait to be 30. I always wish I was older.

B = Bed size: King, baby!

C = Chore you dislike: MOPPING!!! I will not do it. I make Peter mop. Also, I hate putting away dishes. It seems like a never-ending chore.

D = Dogs: Roxy. A pit/lab mix. Yet, somehow, she is the laziest, wussiest dog I know.

E= Essential start to your day: Nursing Baby B. I love snuggling him.

F = Favorite color: Bright green! Although you would think a cool blue based on my blog, huh? Bright green just doesn’t look too good on screen. 😉

G = Gold or silver: Silver. Although I do love this cross necklace my mom handed down to me from my uncle that has both.

H = Height: 5’5″

I = Instruments you play(ed): Ha! The most musical thing I do is fart.

J = Job title: Cook. Chauffer. Teacher. Maid. Personal Assistant. Professional planner and organizer. AKA – mommy!

K = Kids: Pretty sure you know the answer to this one…

chilling siblings

L = Live: Metro Atlanta area

M = Mom’s name: Superwoman. Or her day name is Lisa.

N = Nicknames: Technically Tina is a nickname as my full name is Christina. I prefer Tina, though. I think Mommy is my only other nickname. No wait. In college, friends called me Tinabell.

O = Overnight hospital stays: All for the kids! Both deliveries were overnight stays, of course. Then, when Makenzie stopped breathing and we had to go to the ER on my birthday two years ago. That was fun. Or more accurately, the most miserable four nights of my life. Oh…and that time I was hit by a car.

P = Pet peeves: Rude people. I just don’t get it. Also, when you call someone back immediately after missing the call…but there’s no answer!

Q = Quote from a movie: I only know quotes from the best TV show of all time. So – “You’re so pretty” from FRIENDS because it’s only one of my favorite sayings ever.

R = Righty or lefty: Righty

S = Siblings: One brother. One sister. Both younger. Both goofy. Both awesome!

orange mouth

T = Time you wake up: Which time? 2 am? 5 am? 6:30 am? I wish I was kidding.

U = Underwear: Black leather with spikes. Once again…checking your attention span.

V = Vegetables you don’t like: Asparagus and okra!!! Blechety blech blech blech.

W = What makes you run late: You try getting out the door with a toddler and an infant on time! Yea, that’s what I thought.

X = X-rays you’ve had: My hand/arm when hit by the car. I think that’s it.

Y = Yummy food you make: Enchiladas. I make a mean enchilada. Since I pre-write my posts, its very likely I’m eating an enchilada as this publishes in fact.

Z = Zoo animal favorites: Penguins. They’re cute and funny.

Question(s) of the Evening – Height? Icky veggie? Essential start to your day?

Inappropriate

Oh, life. You can always make me laugh. And at the perfect times too. Today didn’t run quite as seamlessly as yesterday. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a bad day…but it had its moments.Handling two will certainly keep your hands full!

Thank goodness for nap times, a cup of hot Sugar Cookie tea, and some random humor to lighten the mood through the day. And sometimes slightly inappropriate humor is exactly what you need.

Like this teething toy we received for baby B. Looks innocent enough, no?

Well, thanks to M’s playing, I found out today that it vibrates. While I know its meant for soothing a baby’s gums I can’t help but chuckle that it could totally be sold as something else. I’m just glad they didn’t pick a cherry as their fruit of choice! Or use a vegetable like a carrot or cucumber. I should probably stop now.

Or how about M’s comment after I got out of the shower this morning? As I was drying off she looked up at me and told me “Mommy has big boobies”. Then proceeded with “Baby Braedon has looooottttssss of milk. He drinks Mommy’s boobies”. Nice. Perhaps I should have explained breastfeeding to her differently?

Remember this quote I posted this morning?

When I originally searched “do your best quotes” in Google Images…I got a bunch of pictures of women’s thong-dressed bottoms. How does that even relate? I guess they did their best for their perky derrieres?

And then, when I decided to spend nap time leisurely reading blogs, I couldn’t help but laugh when I came across this as a word verification…

Sorry, word verification. This momma’s got one up on you. Just ask my daughter.

Question of the Evening – What random humor did you encounter recently?

And keep any additional Q’s you have about breastfeeding coming! Got some great ones from you in the last post’s comments.
