This weeks sunday six questions are all about Presidents’ Day. I didn’t want to ask the kids about that becuase the two oldest would answer I Don’t Know to all of them and they baby would just meow.
I thought about trying to come up with my own questions, but it’s actually really hard to do. As a last resport I asked Rainbow man what kind of questions he wantedand his idea was for the kids to ask and the adults to answer. The first three questions are by Rainbow Man and the last three are from Blue Boy. Do I have to point out I will be reading the answers to the boys? No hanky panky answers! If you really must be depraved, I can proof read the answers and only read the ones suitable to the boys.
Here we go! (The boys love stupid people, so feel free to answer in such a way)
1. What is a Mutant? 2. What is steele? 3. What isgrass made of?
4. Why do we flush the lady bug?(see attatched video)* 5. When will I turn Fibe? 6. Are you an alien or a kitty?
Thanks for playing everyone!

Mother Marnee, my daddies wife-e-poo loves me more then she loves you.
She gave me three bix boxes of clothes and dishes and candles. (score I love free stuff) The boxes had been stored outside. In minus sixtymillionbagillion temperatures. JJ was unpacking one of the boxes and said hey look!!1!!. Wow we all exclaimed a dead lady bug.
But it was not dead, just frozen and as it warmed up it came back to life. Unfortunatly with sixty bagillionmillion feet of snow outside and no access to whatever the hell LakeyBuugs eat, plus I am a wee bit depraved, we decided to feed the LakeyBuug to Tigger the cat. Turns out The big Fierce Hunter Cat is scared of LakeyBuugs. So we flushed it. True Story.
Last night when I went to coffee with Kissy-Kissy-Nine-Toes, I brought my poor beleaguered husband and three little boys with me. JJ doesn’t get out as much as I would like, plus he’s is a lot of fun to hang out with.
The boys? Not so much.
Normally the two older boys bring their game boys and all of their games to keep themselves occupied. We also keep them plied with candy. The baby is happy to climb under the table picking at leftover gum and eating the Bribes candy. Thus a three hour coffee with children can be a fun experience.
Unfortunately, Friday night was not so fun. A few days ago, Rainbow Man was not paying attention to what he was doing and dropped his almost two hundred dollar Nintendo ripoff DS on the floor.
It’s not broken, but because we have been trying to make him understand he is responsible for the machine and keeping it working order, which includes making sure he charges it when it is low, we took his DS away for one week. Might seem harsh, but this is about the fiftieth time he has dropped it.
Blue Boys’ DS was found under the kitchen table during supper and was removed from his possession for two days. Even at four, he knows that when he is done playing he must put it in the TV cabinet so the babies cannot get at it. His was taken away for two days.
So no Gameboys to occupy them during coffee, but we still had the Bribes candy, right?
Wrong.
JJ and I have one really strict rule at our home. Eat your meal or no snacks. Both Rainbow Man and Blue Boy “gagged” and whined and there were even some genuine tears Friday night when they came to the table and were faced with the dreaded potato. Evil, Evil things those potatoes, out to rule the world one child at a time!
I warned them that we were going for coffee, no snacks if they did not clear their plate. Then I warned them again. And again. After almost an hour an a half, I asked them to clear their plates and wash up.
No snacks.
They whined when I gave the baby his candy, although not very much as I cannot stand ill behaved children in public, and they are very aware of the consequences when they piss off mommy when we are out. They begged a bit, and even tried to convince me to buy the treats for the next day when they did eat. I said no. So they asked their daddy. He also said no.
Sure, no gameboys and no candy made for a rather stressful coffee, but by giving them their DS’s and the candy it would just make my life easier. And that’s not our job.
As parents, sometimes we have to be firm and enforce the rules, yes, even if it does inconvenience us, because if we don’t we will be bailing boys out of jail in a few years. I’m not saying I wasn’t tempted to just let them have that stupid piece of gum for five seconds of quiet, but in the long run, those two hours of stress during coffee will result in better children.
It really is true that consistency IS the key with parenting. Maybe next time they will eat.
On the other hand, maybe we should not have played this video while supper was cooking…

On Valentines Day, My BFF Kissy was robbed at knife point. That sucks, but she is OK. However, she needs to spend hours watching me guzzle coffee to recuperate from her horrendous experience.
I would never leave you all hanging, I do realise that the world would simply stop turning if I didn’t post, So I will leave you with this these videos.
This one is only offensive if you are Gay.. Or an Eskimo. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Thinking about visiting Canada? Watch this:
Now, have fun and leave me lots of comments so I can DDR all day tomorrow instead of dealing with kids who have been cooped up much longer than is safe for my sanity.

I have been reading post after post after post about Valentines* Day. They are all either cutsie-wootise I lovems my hunneh bunneh sooo moshe, or rancid hate filled posts about how the commercialism of Valentine’s** Day will make the Rose extinct by 2017.
Yea Pfft!
Dude, Yes! I am so aware that I am guilty of one of the above posts, but lets pretend I’m not so that I can retain just a little dignity, mmmk?
So, where was I? Ahh yes. My Sky Light.
Leaking.
Again.
A Lot.
Pisses me off.
Gonna cost me a fortune.
Le Sigh
Also. Valentines Day. I’m pretty sure that everyone’s goal in life is to stay married for a gazillion years and not be ripped apart in divorce court, so why are we always so shocked when old people, leaning over their walkers, diapers filled with last nights supper tell us : Back in my day Sonny, we stayed married! Me and..whatever her name is, we’ve been married for seventy years, A-yup. WHAT? What did you say sonny? Bring me mah T.V Guide. Nurse!! ZzzZZZZz
Yea Pfft.
In a perfect world, this is the ideal marriage. (You can also find this Quote in it’s original Typo’d form here)
I think more people should marry chocolate. Then, after you bite into your spouse and end up in jail for domestic violence, you can be the bitch to one of those ginormous Hersey’s kisses.
It’s a workable plan. Plus, If I was married to chocolate, he would finally stop complaining that I don’t swallow.
When are they going to come up with a “Best Comment EvarRr”? I want to nominate myself.
*, ** so… with the apostrophe or without?

DDR: What? Are you on crack? It was only minus 2 outside. We spent all afternoon rolling in the snow. And by that I mean that I sat on a cold plastic chair and read my book, a carafe of sugar’d and creamed coffee at my side while the children played. The extent of my movement was the shoveling of the driveway and putting the babies mittens on again and again and again. And HELLO??? NoDeal NoDeal /*/Canada/*/ was on!! Plus JJ got his tattoo finished so he isn’t up to jumping around either. Don’t look at me like that! The cookies were banana! That’s a fruit! You said to eat fruit. All I did was add a lot some sugar to it! *Sulks*
Valentines is over, and once again I got the same thing I get every year. Guess whats going to happen on March 14th? Nothing.
Google forgot the “L” in thier name today. That amused me.
I’m going to crawl into bed and forget the world exists. Y’all rock Monkey Chunks. Big golden ones with shiny glitter and rainbow wings. I don’t know what that means.But I know its good.
I left a rather lengthy comment clarifying why I was so “Meh”. I promise I’m over my funk. Cross my heart. Plus what right do I have to be upset when My BFF kissy spent the night being robbed (armed!!!11!) and talking with cops? None I tells ya, NONE.(SHE IS OK, THANK CUPID!!)
