Some funnies for "ONE OF THOSE" days

I've had one of "those" days.  In quick summery, started @ 5:30 as normal these days.  Kimball came running into my room trying to find Craig who is out of town.  He's now mad at me and sure I've done something with his dad.  He ran to the garage to check to see if his car or "ride"(scooter) was missing.  My mother will be proud, the door was locked.  After I unlocked it he hung out there for about 45 min. Which worked out perfect.  McKay had gotten up @ 5:30 as well to make breakfast for everyone (eggs and toast, YUM).  It's Friday which means spelling tests and math homework turn in day (quick review and double check needed).  Today was also the day of our frozen dinner group exchange.  Which I love, I normally make them the day before, but I'd been sick and am still trying to pick up the pieces.  So six dinners to make by 10 a.m..  Jose has preschool today (picture day :) ).  And then I realized they were probably celebrating McKay's B-day @ school.  Because he communicates less then a 15 year old I didn't get the message from his teacher till I grilled him on it this morning.  The info was, yes - birthday being celebrated, no - mom's don't come, yes - treats given - out by first recess (10:00).  I then also remembered I had a post carnival meeting/lunch/party @ 11:00.  So this is how it went:

5:30- 7:40 
*McKay makes breakfast as I start browning hamburger.  Kimball hangs in garage mad @ me. 
*Check math packets while eating
*Redress the older kids
*Redo hair
*Give spelling tests while chopping onions (quite tricky while crying)
*Bindi got lose in the garage while Abby was trying to comfort Kimball (I had to climb on top of the cabinet to get her)
*Convince the kids to take the bus & have school lunch (now not only Kimball's not happy with me the older two aren't either)

7:40-8:30
*While sauteing the onions get Joise bathed for pictures
*round brush her hair
*redress her (hallelujah she wanted to ware pants today, but it's picture day and they don't fit anymore.  Bummer to bad it was picture day or I'd have sent her in 'em)
*Add rest of ingredients but realized the tomato sauce was expired so needed to get some more while at the store getting birthday treats
*Buckle up 2 car seats and were off.  

8:55-10:20
*Dropped off Josie
*Went to Macy's, credit card declined again because Craig's using it in Cal.  Love that Capital One tries to protect us, but this happens every time.  We even have it on the account that the card will be used at the same time in two different states.  But of course they still try to keep us "safe".  
*Dropped off 100 Grands for McKays treats
*finished dinners and arrived to exchange 20 min. late.  (I'm glad they're easy goin' gals)

11:00-11:30
*Get Joise and Winnter from school (Winny comes to play on Fun Friend Friday after school) I'm 5 min. late.  Jose is crying, not because I'm late, but her teacher jokingly said to three kids left.  "Maybe I'll get to take you home as my pets".  They all laughed, but Jose sobbed, she didn't want to be a "pet".  PMS day. sigh
*Run home to get Kimball dressed
*Get to Carnival lunch with the kids (late).  It was great fun, bounce house, great food, good ideas, great people, reimbursements etc.  Jose lost her blanket there...fun tonight.

And the day doesn't stop.  Good but crazy, (notice no shower for myself was mentioned).  But as crazy as it was & as mean as Kimball was to me (he's always mean to me but it's double today because he's still mad because he's sure I did something with his dad).  I can't help but laugh and smile.  

On these days I love to pull up some of my light hearted "FUNNIES" to end the day.  

Make sure you "pause" the music on the side bar before starting the videos & radio broadcast.

Enjoy!!!

For those who have sons, this list may ring a bell. For those of you who don't have sons, you may find out a interesting things when you have sons, like...

1.) A king size water bed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.

8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9.) A six-year old boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old boy.

11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12.) Super glue is forever.

13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15.) VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20.) The fire department has a 5-minute response time.

21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
