After much internal debate, I have decided that I will now be boycotting two separate, but equally important items in my life.
- Fruit. Now I know that fruit has many important health benefits such as fiber, vitamins, minerals & reducing the risk of chronic diseases. But that's sort of the whole problem, isn't it? Well, at least the fiber part. My son has literally pooped 7 times in approximately 24 hours after consuming (enormous amounts of) grapes. Sure, he's eating something nutritious and beneficial, but that's where it ends. He doesn't have to change his own poop, does he? Either do the grocers at the grocery store. "Oh sure, we love fruit. We sell it every day. Blah, blah…" I've heard it all before. But there are no consequences to their actions…very frustrating. Maybe I'll boycott grocery stores, too.
- Items that require renewal. As my sister passed my car today, she pointed out that the safety sticker on my car expired. Oh. I look and realize it expired 10/06. Um, whoopsy daisy. But really, who can remember that kind of thing? "Don't forget to register your car. Or get a safety inspection." "You need to renew your insurance." "You need to pay your bills." "You owe us a lot of money…" Nag, nag, nag. How can I be expected to remember all these things? It's overwhelming. So, anything that requires me to use my memory is now boycotted i.e. One time, our insurance company that covered Nolan's business sent us out a ton of advance bills, so we could just send it in at the beginning of each month on our own--uh, with no reminder. We both had a good laugh over that! Those jokesters.

haha. kristi you kill me. at least he's eating fruit and not constipated! that's a problem for some kids. but i agree, protest it! i have been for many a years. and vegetables too!
Oh I'm right there with you. My husband has been giving my kids grape juice like three times a day and they both have the runs and who changes the boys bum? Yeah, Me! Avoid cherries they are just as bad. Get him to eat bananas, they have the opposite effect!
You crack me up! Good luck with the boycotting! hehe
Boycotts bring healthy awareness to the masses. As part of the masses, I say go on and boycott those who Scrooge-ingly fines us. Say NO to the fruit farmers for their crops that produces frequent muddy explosions. Boycott away! ;o)
my kids have had their bout with the constipation(too much information!), so you're lucky...
yeah, nolan was telling us about the diaper situation today. sounds like a good time. i'm with you that i can't remember to pay bills, etc. etc. i don't know when my brain ceased functioning. it's been a while now.
After a few late bills, paid by me, my hubby took over once again. My theory is with each birth a little brain damage occurs. That is my story and I am sticking to it. I can't even get started on the fruits, our snotty noses was enough for one day.
When Kaitlin was in diapers I started boycotting whole grain wheat. Holy colon blow! I also hate renewing stuff. I feel like I just pay and it's suddenly time to pay again. No thank you.
jori, you funny:)
kristi you are killin me. Psss some of your fiber surplus up my way. Poor libby practically needs a c-section every time she has to do her busines. Digging poo out with a spoon is not as fun as it might sound :)
Kristi, keep fighting the good fight--fruit and bills have been keeping us all down for way too long. Especially fruit.
P.S. You're hilarious! :)
Eww Tara. Digging poop out with a spoon. Do you really have to do that? Kristi, my freaky Connor is a pooping machine. Always has been. When other kids his age are on a nice once or twice a day schedule, he still loads up the diaper a good 5 or 6 times a day. Every day. Maybe because he is addicted to blueberries, cherries, strawberries, bananas, apples. This kid loves his fruit. Now, a green vegetable, not so much. Unless it is from chinese food. AHHH! Kids. And bills, not much better. I don't mind too much these days as I have gotten real lazy and have automated bill pay going for most.
Oh my--I freakin love these comments, people. Hah-larious.
I can beat that, try expired in march. my poor suburby needs some love. like oil change, a mirror, a car wash. that thing is lookin pretty scrappy. maybe when the cop pulls me over for expired safety, he will fill pitty for me.
