This morning was like every other morning, getting up at 6:30am, making breakfast packing my son's lunch, yadda yadda yadda. But today, for some reason over eating his cinnamon toast crunch my dear son looked up at me with a neutral expression and said;

"Mommy, when I get old and die, will you pack my video games up and send them with me so I can play video games in heaven?"

I was stunned....seriously. He has never said anything like that to me ever. I instantly got a flood of tears in my eyes and I quickly went over and held him tight. Death is not something I take lightly, but iwas over-taken with emotion and the thought of having to pack up his games to put in his coffin put me over the edge.

I'm not mad that he brought it up, I wonder where he came to such a conclusion. We are not religious and don't talk about god or heaven so I don't know where he got it from.

Needless to say I had to escape to the bathroom and ball my eyes out like a baby, and honestly I am getting a little moist-eyed as I write this.

My husband saw my emotional turmoil and came in to ask what was wrong, I told him through sobs what our son had said. He smiled at me and said;

"Awwwh honey."

Apaprently he is not as moody as I am today lol I know he meant nothing by it, he actually thought it was cute. which I can see how it would be...if I wasn't so busy crying about it lol

Some People's Children...

Hello Everyone, today we are going to talk about....I mean okay let's be honest, i'm just going to bitch about other parents for a second. First off, When you take your kids to a movie at the theater, it is a given that they will cause a rukus...it is what kids do. I understand that. What I don't understand is...why in the name of green grass would you let your child stand in front of your chair at the theaters and have their hands on someone else's (my) seat and let them scream into my damn ear, shaking my chair violently. WTF, seriously. Seriously, some parents just let their kids do whatever they want in the name of not punishing them. It's like disapline is a bad word nowadays...but there is a line...and more often than not when keeping their kids under control, parents just let their damn kids do whatever they want. I'm not a perfect parent...seriously im not...and i understand that sometimes your kid just flies into a fit cuz they are tired or whatnot. THAT I understand. But what cause is there to let your kid disturb someone else's fun movie time. none, thats what. this kid was at least 7 or 8.
"Oh honey, you are so cute when you piss other people off and get me beat up in the parking lot of the mall."
SERIOUSLY....my kid laughed out loud once during the movie and seriously... (it was a funny part) but iasked him to just keep it down so other people could enjoy the movie...he didnt scream the rest of the movie. simple, simple simple. don't allow your kids to be jerks in public...cuz there is a difference between letting them be jerks and them being tired. seriously!
there, moving on.

*poof*

Product placement.

Hello Everyone, I am here today to talk about a few products I have tested. I am here to give the results of my random evaluation.

FIRST off.... Zarbees all-natural children's cough syrup.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
I paid ten bucks for a box of seven 5ml packets.
They don't work worth shit. My boy had a cough for a few days and he was very uncomfortable. I bought this in hopes it would would ease him. It lasted about 5 mins before the cough came raging back. They can take one packet, up to four times a day. okay so he suffers the rest of the day? Nah, I wasted money on this crap that doesn't work and now i'm passing the savings on to you...so don't buy it.

Second...Schwepps raspberry gingerale

Tastey, very tastey

Third...Pedigree dog food.
Don't feed it to your pet...according to our vet, its one of the lower end brand name foods and can give your dog the runs, make them bloated, gas, and it contains tons of fillers so the dog will eat more. which in turn, you wilkl have to buy more food more often.

Fourth...Lifetime brand dog food
Amazing food! no fillers or corn! different flavors for different tastes! you can buy this at shurgains feeds n needs on the exhibition grounds. its more natural than any of the other brand name foods out there, and cost less than pedigree for a 15 kg bag.

Fifth...Crest Glide deep clean floss
AWESOME! it makes me want to floss, its minty and not as sticky as other flosses. i find it gets the food out way better than the johnson and johnson brands, and its wider too!

Sixth...Compliments microwavable popcorn
its disgusting, after its popped its covered in a greasy gross oil, instead of butter...it made me throw up.. YUCK...unless you like that kinda thing.

I'm finally coming out...

As a trying vegetarian, I've decided that I no longer have the want to eat meat. although its hard to change from being a carnivore all your life, to a vegetarian, I am sincerely trying. I might still eat eggs...I did today i know that much lol
I just can't bring myself to do it anymore. Don't get me wrong...I will not ever judge someones right to eat meat, ever. That would make me a hypocrite cuz i've eaten it all my life. I just know that for now, it is the right decision for me. I will continue to cook meat for my family if they so demand it, but i will not like it. I've had veggie burgers, they are friggin delicious lol I think I can manage this, I'll keep you updated lol

Lifemare...

...Like a nightmare, only REAL.


 My Lifemare comes in the form of MIL, and seriously if you have one, you know what that means.
Everyday of my lifemare, I have to be prepared for a fight. Not a fist fight or a verbal fight, but a fight to defend MY rights as a mother. Standing your ground to someone who has always asserted herself as a co-parent is difficult. She thinks she has a say to what goes on. She thinks its ok to let im off with the things that make him a bad person. I however, do not. Time outs are a regular punishment in this house for my son, we don't spank. So I don't think its any of her business when I put him in time out for being a little jerk and be questioned about it. Don't get me wrong, I love my son completely, best lil thing to happen to me ever! But I'm not afraid to call it like I see it. He punches the dog. flies into fits over nothing, decides he can tell me what to do. So i'm not afraid to call him a little jerk under my breath sometimes. Anyway, my point of blog is this...do not let your MIL dictate your life and the life you have planned out for your kids. She has no right  to tell you how you should raise your child/children. Anyone out there with the same issue, we need to unite against our evil MILs and save the world.  there, nuff said.

The time for a movement

Okay, who else has this issue...a child that sits on the toilet having a poop for over an hour?? I DO!! I don't understand why it takes men and children so long to do their business. I dread every morning that my kid is going to stop and run to the bathroom 5 minutes before he needs to get out to the bus. My puppy is much easier to deal with (poop-wise) she goes outside, does her business, and that's the end of it.  Not a long blog but hey i might come back later.

Long story short...

Okay, let me tell you about my day.
First it started out with getting up at 6am with a little boy who thought he had to get ready for school but he didn't , there were parent teacher conferences and therefore...no school.
So we first went up to co-op after first stopping at burger king for breakfast on the go, we got hubby a pair of winter boots (badly needed) and a pair of sneakers (also badly needed) There was some minor bickering about time restraints but we made it out alive.
Then came the parent teacher conference thingy. My kid's teacher pushed the fact that she didnt think he was old enough to be in school yet. (we could of held him back another year because he just turned  5 in october) She said he was acting like a four year old. I wanted to be like, didn't you go to school for this kind of thing to be good with kids of all specifications. My kid is hyper as shit and he tends to block out any sort of authority. I'm pretty sure I just described every child ages 2-16. So anywho, we talked it out, asked for my secret, and was surprised when i told her I didn't have one...I still don't really know how to handle him to be honest. So we chatted and left.
After that we booted it up the hill to futureshop, because i broke my third camera. *facepalm*
I needed one to replace mine until we could get my sony fixed, so I opted for a cheap canon. its pretty wicked actually, i love it. (watch out sony, you may have a traitor on your hands) So we picked up that...(I should add that all the while my son is acting like a 2 year old having a fit) he was good at first but oi vey. anywho we left there, picked up some Wendy's and came home.
turns out our order was completely wrong, but we ate it. After the hubby left for work, I tried to put the kid down for a much much needed nap. GUESS WHAT?? He wasn't having ANY of that noise!
So he was a complete grump all morning, all day. I took him and the pup outside for a bit to play, then inside for some hot soup for supper which took my son and ahour and a half to eat. then, hit the sack. And here I am, drinking a tall glass of spiced rum n coke, thinking happy thoughts...or trying to. it was a messy day with lots of squabbles and fits and guilt trips and im ready for bed lol
