People Eaters

For once, based on reality.  HT to my husband who was there for it!

Tongue Tied

Ever been on hold so long that you get tongue tied when they finally pick up?

Ever do the dishes while on hold?

Make a cake?

Take out the trash?

Start dinner?

Eat dinner?

Eat the cake?

Go to sleep?

St. Paddy's Debacle

For all of you under 30's (or probably under 40's, if you never had a mother like mine who would say, "Just try this movie for FIVE minutes," and then found yourself two hours later watching the credits), Brigadoon is one of those rare gems that you're not sure if you hate it, love to hate it, hate to love it, or just love.

Also, some useful links in time...Irmgard had a run in with these wee folk at her Karaoke Christmas and the poor dear also appears to be stuck with Mr. Wickham from Pride and Prejudice at her beck and call, much to her dismay.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

HOT HOT HOT!

There's two ways to politely deal with hot food. Wait patiently until it is cool or, if you tried it too soon, discreetly use a napkin to remove it from your mouth. 

Then there's the option to yell, "HOT!" repeatedly around the mouthful, hoping that it helps. 

I've done this.  Around a mouthful of coffee, home fries, or bacon.  Been there, shouted that, got the tee shirt.

Can't even...

Snow News is Bad News

Mr. Coffee

Four in the morning is an awful time of day.  I used to stay up that late back in my wild and stupid days (mostly watching the six hour "Pride and Prejudice" and eating Cheetos with my sister).  Now I dread the very sight of the clock when I'm forced out of my bed by the screeching crowbar voices of my children.
After coffee, they sound more like angels, but till then, I don't want to hear a peep or make toast for anybody.

Showering

Note: the caption says FEELS like.  If you choose to actually wear clothes while showering, that's your own business.  Her dress is merely for illustrative (and of course family-friendly) purposes.
Although with the speed at which I need to hop out of the shower, remaining fully dressed is sometimes an option.

Trouble in the Gosling Nest

My knowledge of Ryan Gosling goes as far as the memes that I've seen on Pinterest.

So when I was searching for images of actual goslings, you know who showed up and he completely changed this comic.

Night and Day

Ever read the lyrics to "Night and Day"?  Read them as a tired parent crying out for...sleep.  I swear, the whole song was secretly written as a parent in love with the idea of sleep.

And when you find that magic thing that will put your baby to sleep, it's like the difference between night and, well, day!  Throw the book away, go with your instincts...
Unless your instincts are wrong.
;)

Making Up for the Holidays

The amount of times that I have mascara running or my hair attacking the sky or my shoes mismatched and NO ONE HAS TOLD ME is quite a high number.

Pintrocity

I can NOT for the life of me do a Pinterest project without serious mayhem or sadness or crying or bizarre fuzzy things stuck to my hair all day.

Powdered Sugar

Dear Dom is rather like my own three-year old who would just as readily believe that God should be Mummy-fearing instead of the other way around.

Parental Halloween Rights

Happy Halloween!

Patience

Turkey and Cheek

(Big head nod to Neil Hurlbut, without whom I would never have thought of the atrocity that is TURKEY bacon.)

Being Green

Misplaced Hygiene

I didn't need that toothbrush anyway...

Weapons of Mouse Destruction

(No cats were harmed in the drawing of this comic, nor does the creator of the comic wish harm on any animal.  I cannot speak for the Mouse Mob, however.)

Cat Lady

Say hello to Lucy's sister, Irmgard, who is decidedly NOT a cat lady.  And their cousin, as well as Irmgard's roommate, Krystall.
