Where can I find an example of a good Mom? Oh, wait. Right here. So, I really wasn't feeling like it, but I had to run to the grocery store for just a couple of things.

An Example of a Good Mom
Where can I find an example of a good Mom? Oh, wait. Right here. So, I really wasn't feeling like it, but I had to run to the grocery store for just a couple of things.

Hayley is going to out me anyway, I am sure, so I may as well get this off my chest. I called my 21-month-old son a dum dum today at Target. It just came out and I don't know where it was from. You are not the only mom out there who does crazy things, don't you worry.
Well our disgusting little male shih tzu has a crush on a stuffed hippo so I yelled "stop humping that hippo." So Kaitlin talked to my mom and said "ziggy keeps humping the hippo." Nice..hopefully that won't get repeated in church.
P.S. Humping is on my hated word list but only when referencing people. For some reason it seems appropriate for dogs.
Is it okay if I put a link for your blog on mine?
oh my gosh. i'm crying i'm laughing so hard. the whole time i'm reading your blog kristi, i'm thinking "i can top that" only to make you feel better. i was going to rat holly out. and for the record, i wasn't going to out you holly - until i read kristi's blog. then i was laughing/snorting while reading your confession and jori's... you gotta love when kids repeat your naughties. don't worry, that's the only naughty that holly did... she definitely didn't drop a couple of f bombs!
Jori--that story is awesome--humping is so sick! Please do put a link--can I link yours?
Thanks for helping me feel better girls.
This is fun blogging with all of you guys. Thanks for letting me use your link. Please use my link too.
Well...Hunter came home from two swimming parties to go to baseball practice. I had not fed him anything, I gave him cookies to take to a party, but I hadn't provided a meal. So I say before baseball you need to eat something. He says I'm not really hungry. Why what did you eat all day? I had a hotdog for lunch and then I had a hotdog for dinner. Nice.
i can always feel the disapproving looks of other mothers as i proceed to give my daughter everything she asks for in the grocery store just so that she won't throw a fit. i'm really terrible about passing on potty mouth to my kids. maya is forever saying that she's got to "take a big ol' crap" or a "big freakin' dump" or a "huge ol' log". problem is, i proceed to laugh my head off every time she does it. she also says "what the freak" and "freakin' a" all the time. nice. kristi, does she repeat these things in sunbeams? mercy. i've got to work on this. she'll be starting preschool next year (co-op) and all of the other mamas are going to see my true colors.
ps, at least you didn't lose your kid at sea world! although you should dedicate an entire post to braden flushing a whole roll of tp down the toilet! :) that's my favorite!
I love these stories from you guys...
