random thoughts tuesday


so i am working on this well in advance to make sure that...a. i remember my random thoughts and...b. i get it done on time (nothing like being a total procrastinator to screw up a good blog!)

1. i really, really love that the abbreviation used by many bloggers for their husband "dh" can stand for either "dear husband" or "dick head." it makes me laugh because it is oh so fitting sometimes. by the way...i RARELY refer to my husband as "my husband" and never as "dh" (reminds me of "THE BABY" episode of seinfeld). my husband is tommy. my son is thomas. they are ALWAYS referred to by these names.

************************************************************

2. there are 60 asterisks above this statement. i know this because i went to my previous "rtt" post and counted how many i used so that everything looks uniform. ocd, anyone?

************************************************************

3. i am 34 years old. i have been wearing mascara for roughly 20 years now. i would say i apply mascara at least 360 days of the year. that allows for 72000 mascara applications (i'm not even counting the days when i reapply or go out at night and put it on twice in one day). i would think that this would be enough applications that i am able to do it without poking myself in the eye with the mascara wand. i would be wrong to think that.

4. lesson learned ~ 2 girls in the bathtub + 2 boys on the computer + 1 boy in school = mommy putting away 3 loads of laundry. 2 girls in the bathtub + 2 boys in the bathtub + 1 boy elsewhere = utter mayhem. moral of this story...don't put 4 kids in the bathtub at the same time.

*************************************************************

5. i love my ipod, possibly even more than my children. i think it is the greatest invention ever and i love that i am able to drive for long periods of time in my car and never have to listen to a song that i don't know every single word to. being totally crazy, i always wonder "if they made a movie about my life, who would play me, tommy, etc?" (by the way, i know i am not the only person that does this.) well, now, when they do make that movie, i have already done the soundtrack for them. how great is that?!?!

************************************************************

that's about as random as i get this week. for even more random thoughts, check out the un mom's blog. she is the queen of it all.

  1. In steparenting circles, stepmoms are SMs and bio moms are BMs. 'Nuff said, in some situations. ;) (Stepkids are "skids," which is also funny.)

  2. i always just refer to the husband as the hubs, never came up with a clever pseduonym to give him....

    i think the soundtrack to my movie would def. be Muse. anything and everything they have done is absolutely awesome and brilliant.

  5. wow that is a ton of mascara. i know a lot about you but i did not know you wore mascara that often. i on the other hand have probably applied mascara 6 times in the last year, and that is being generous. who would play me in your movie?

  6. meg - i NEVER leave the house without mascara. i look like a total freak with no eyelashes or something. and, i know you don't like her, but i still say claire danes. sorry. she totally works for you. who would play me, though?

  7. Now I feel hubby needs a pseudonym. Hm. Not that I ever call him DH.

    You'd think that with that many mascara applications it would be second nature, and I wouldn't leave the house once or twice a month looking like a squinty-eyed squirrel. But no.

  8. Mascara is the one thing I manage to put on when I'm leaving the house. I feel rather naked without it!

  9. I'm glad I'm not the only one who still pokes their eye with the mascara wand. More than once a week, usually...
