Potty Humor

You gotta love my child.....
she is a ball of happy happy energy
a fun-loving smiling...laughing pile of cuteness.

Then comes the current "phase"

Potty Humor

Oh do tell me when this ends.

She powpows (pow pow = poot) all the time
Then howls in laughter
proceeds to carry on or at least attempts to carry on a conversation about what just escaped her bottom.

All of her friends at school are poopy-heads....fannie-cracks.....poo poos.

She just now pow powed at the table while we were having lunch and she said "ahhhhh...that smells much better" What ?!!?

and just now as I am literally typing this came up and said...."I'll be back....I need to poop so I can quit pow-powing.

We are the potty humor radio GIANT....its all poopy all day...be sure to find us on your dial.

When does this stop ??
Is this something you discipline??
or is it a phase "they" go thru?

It's driving me nuts !!!!
well at least when I am not turning my back and laughing.....I can't let her see me doing that for goodness sake.

have a happy day

Full Circle

Several of my posts lately centered around decisions I needed to make or stories with unresolved endings.
Most of those have been resolved......here are the results.....I know you are on the edge of your seat.....right?

Salon or Drug Store Hair Products ?
well I thanks to all of the extremely helpful feedback
I chose the salon products and here are the ones I am currently using and loving.
This hairspray can not be beat. Its light but it holds just enough.
I love love love the smell.....hubby says is hurts his nose.....my advice to him...get outta my bathroom......sweetie.

Best mousse ever.....I love liquid that turns to foam just by passing through a pump. What Fun !!
Hubby and I both use this control paste......GREAT !!
Perfect for my hair..... my hair sees a lot of the hair-dryer so this is just what the doctor ordered.
Oh and this shampoo....I get my hair "done" at an Aveda Salon and Spa...and the whole place smells like this shampoo.....I love walking in the wind or damp air and the smell of this shampoo envelops me....Yummy.

Chloe loves the smell too...."mommy your whole you smells like where we get our hair cut."

In closing....yes these products are pricey......but YES I do think my hair is easier to deal with...it looks better...it fells better.....and it so so so smells better.

What shoes am I wearing at Disney ?

I am taking my New Balance Low Profile Running Shoes .... and I am purchasing a pair of Rainbow flip flops very soon so I can break them in.....those 2 pairs will be my "park" shoes.

Are we taking a stroller to Disney?

Yes....we are. After so many helpful comments on that post I don't see how we can not take one. I will let you all know when we get back how that move goes.

Have I cleaned my iron yet?

No....I have not taken on this chore ...but I need to try some of the great ideas some of you had....I still have a gunky iron.

Did I single-handedly change McDonald's Happy Meal ordering method?

No...but I did speak with the person in charge and my suggestion was duly noted and would be passed on to management.

Did the little girl selling her brothers coupon books finally get the ipod?

I would say no.....as we still see her gallivanting around the neighborhood with the sample coupon book in hand.

Be sure to comment on this giveaway post....it ends Sunday. These are some Fabulous Goodies.

have a happy day

A Lady of All Ladies

My Grandma....oh goodness...my Grandma.
My Grandma...probably like a lot of yours grew up working the farm.
While today she is a "well kept" lady ....she had quite an up-bringing....the lady could do some hard labor.

My grandmother loves to garden...she buys more plants and flowers than she can ever get in the ground.
Over the years has encountered many a "critter" while working in her yard.
I recall several stories of snakes....she will chop them in half in a hot minute.

Once a possum was getting in her fish pond...she hit it over the head with a hoe and toted it by the tail down to throw it in the woods....she tells the story as .... she didn't quite kill it and all the way to the woods it was trying to bite her thigh.....she had to really keep it at an arm's length.

Then there was the time she stepped in a hole up to her "crotch". The lady pulled herself out....a feat I am not sure I could muster.

I cant help but smile and sometimes chuckle at Grandma's adventures.

The latest one occurred just last week. Here is the account.

April...did I tell you about getting bit by the snake??
I was down at my mulch pile and as I scooped a shovel full I looked down by my foot and there was this snake...not a black snake....all coiled up ...tight...fixing to bite my leg.
I hit it with the rake....(hahaha of course she did....I am running....Grandma is whacking)
It didn't even stun it....and it crawled back in the mulch pile.
So I stood there thinking....Oh Lord....What am I going to do?
(I know what I would do)
So I looked around...and there behind me was a baby one....so I killed it (Oh Grandma)

I didn't see the big one anymore so I kept filling my buckets with mulch...I filled all 6 and loaded them on my trailer.

When I got up to the flower bed I started putting out the mulch....I was smoothing it out with my rake....well....in the third bucket full....there he was....he was in the mulch.
Well...he got woven in the forks of the rake.....so I grabbed my hoe and hit him....over and over.
I thought he was dead...so I put him in a bucket....well he crawled out twice...so I got him out and beat him some more...( did my Grandma just say beat him?....is this the same lady who changes purses each day and they must match her shoes?)

So I put him in a taller bucket...and showed him to Grandpa when he got home.....he said it was a Copperhead......I was so thankful he didn't bite me....(well I guess so, being a Copperhead and all)

OK...she was telling me this story in my office of the company she and my Grandpa own...so I walked her downstairs.....as she was leaving....we made a stop by Grandpa's office...he was shooting the breeze with one of our favorite salesmen...so we stopped to chat.

A few weeks ago my Grandparents home had a power surge and a lot of their appliances and such were damaged....she was telling the salesman about the phone company coming out to check on something and telling her she would have to move her TV and her dining room table so they could get to a certain area where some wiring was. Ok...again...Grandma's words.

I am not moving any furniture.....I am 79 years old...I don't move furniture....He said...well mam...we cant touch your furniture...you will have to move it...I said...I am not moving any furniture (You go Grandma).....I am calling my husband and you can talk to him...but you are in the wrong place if you think I am moving any furniture....I am a lady of all ladies....I don't move furniture !!!

?????????????????

I looked at Ed, the salesman "No...but she will chop up a snake and tote a possum by the tail down to the woods" I said.

Cue the stories....I tip-toed out and left Ed and Grandma......hang on Ed this will be quite a ride...with a lady of all ladies.

Love ya Grandma......hoping to be half as tough as you when I grow up.

have a happy day
