Momfinitions!

Moms (and parents in general) tend to have a language of their own when it comes to raising kids. Inspired by ParentsConnect, here are five "momfinitions" that I believe pertain to the highs and lows that are involved in the wonderful world of parenting!

Goopies [goo-pees]noun: the icky little green things that show up in the corner of your eyes. Hold still, you have eye goopies.

Cranktastic [krank-ta-stik] adjective: the way my daughter gets when she hasn't had a nap and starts to cry or get irritable for no reason whatsoever. Your cranktastic attitude is telling me that it's gonna be an early bedtime tonight!

Pooplosion [poo-plo-shun] noun: when your child's poop fills up the diaper and their back... and their clothes... and the floor... Time to start another load of laundry, we've just had a pooplosion!

pacitastrophe [pass-e-tas-tro-fee] noun: The panicky moment of horror when your infant/toddler is screaming and you realize there is no pacifier in the diaperbag or the vicinity. Usually occurs in public places or in the car. I'm sorry, I have to excuse myself and drive to the nearest WalMart because we are having a major pacitastrophe!

Law of Two [la- uv- too] noun: The law in life that says if you have two children that they can't be good at the same time. One always has to be crying, mad or throwing a fit of some sort. Those rare moments when they are both being good are when you break out the camera in order to show people that your kids just defied nature! (on the phone) Oh, she's crying because her brother is not- it's the law of two!

I would love to hear your reaction to my momfinitions! Do you know what I'm talking about? Do you have any momfinitions of your own? If you found mine interesting, you should definitely check out the ones at ParentsConnect!

Our First Real Boo Boo

So yesterday we encountered our first "major" boo boo with one of our children. Pretty good, I'd say, considering my oldest is three and a half. Well, she has gotten kind of wild as of late. In the past couple days, she's given me two bruises on my leg from jumping on me, kicked me in the mouth accidentally while playing and then yesterday was the worst.

Being the older sister, she often uses her brute strength to get her way. We have often said that she is going to be sorry when her brother gets bigger than she is cause payback is gonna be hard! Right now he's only 5 lbs. less than her, but is 2 years younger...

Anyway, they were running in the house despite our objections and she would throw a ball and they would both chase it, but she would knock him out of the way before he could get to it. Well, on the third attempt, she knocked him down and he smacked his face on the table leg. Immediately blood started running down his face! I jumped up and grabbed him and yelled for Nick to get some paper towels. It was small laceration, but seemed pretty deep. I called my in-laws to come tell us if they thought it needed stitches. (They live two doors down.) After the blood was cleanded up, it was decided that butterfly bandaids might do the trick- so far so good! But it's our first brush with any kind of big owie. Hopefully there are no stitches or broken bones in their future.

Just thought I'd share!

Megan Hauserman is back!!!

Okay, so I know a lot of people don't get my fascination with this woman, but I was soooooooo excited when I saw the commercial on VH1 that I literally got up and started dancing! Megan Hauserman of Rock of Love, I Love Money and Charm School notoriety is back with her own reality show! I called it, I wanted it, I'm stoked about it! It's called "Megan Wants a Millionaire" and premieres on VH1 August 2. And she's also bringing good ole' Brandi C. along for the ride!

The premise of the show is that like 17 millionaires compete for Megan's love. When casting for the show, it was required that the men have a net worth of at least one million. I'm not 100%, but I believe "Sex Toy Dave" (of Millionaire Matchmaker notoriety) is one of the cast members. I was not a big fan of him because he was too shallow for my taste.

And speaking of shallow, back to why I like Megan so much! She's conniving, she's vicious, but you can tell she's smart. She knows what she's doing and just like women have been doing for centuries, she knows that using her body and her good looks will get her pretty much anything she wants. She's fun to watch and she's my guilty pleasure.

I know a lot of people hate her and I know that she did Sharon Osbourne wrong by insulting her husband on the reunion show, but I do believe she was tipsy (I could be remembering it wrong) and clearly she doesn't have good taste in music cause Ozzy is fabulous! But, I've been friends with people who aren't friends with my other friends. It's all good.

So, this was me sharing a bit of guilty pleasure excitement that VH1 has fulfilled my fantasy of giving Megan her own reality show! And if you're following Daisy of Love (she is hideous, btw, I can't quit staring at her fake hair) I am hoping that 20Pack wins cause he is yummy!
