Another T.O.A.B.









Tonight I was thinking about and talking to my youngest brother about this. Those lines you hear yourself say and want to laugh at but say and fully mean. That if you were single and eating lunch in a public place you might spray your food all over your friend. Our turn and say "What? Did She say what I thought I just heard? Couldn't have been." Here are just some of mine I say quite often. Or at least more often than I'd like to.
  • Can you take your bat man masks off so we can wash you now?
  • Give your brother back his sword to chew on instead of your shoe.
  • Beck: There will be no standing on face.
  • Beckett leave your brothers nose out of you mouth.
  • Quiet so he can watch his Scubba.
  • How many times do I need to say your name? Reply: 15 mom. Reply: Okay then.
  • Don't mow over your father please.
  • No more shaka-ing your brother's head.
  • We don't paint in our throw up here.
  • No one is allowed to eat in the bathtub.
  • Popcorn sounds like Corn Pops but it's not for breakfast. Even if Top does at work he wouldn't at my house.
  • Are you kidding me?
  • Is that coconut boy again?
  • No knocking over Nana or the tourists today.
  • WHAT!? what? What?
  • That's enough snowballs at the Co. Commander can we luau now?
  • No Coke for the baby Nana Too.
  • Hurry and get your uniform on we're going to Daddy's promotion.
  • We'll just say that you're on PT profile for you shoes. It's okay.

Please comment on some of yours your hear and think are funny after the kids go to bed.

T.O.A.B.

Most of my life this last year has been NURSING. I've got my boob hanging out and a little guy strapped to me. With all that time doing nothing...because I can't distract him at all with phone calls, TV, books, talking, or singing, or looking at him. Don't even think about doing it in a room with stuff to look at or a place with people. I've had some time to think. So I"m going to implement my T.O.A.B. Thoughts On A Boob. My random things I think about as I'm "out there" so to speak.

So with out further ado. And don't worry mom I'm not going to post a picture of my boob. But I am nursing in this photo. On the go. That's high speed. That's at the PCC (Polynesian Culture Center).

Why is it that if you don't drink enough water your milk production goes down and if you drink too much water it goes down too? How can you tell what food you eat your kid gets fussy? I can't remember what I ate and exactly what it is that he didn't like. Or if he's just fussy 'cuz he's sitting on a pile of poo. And what's the deal with the chocolate thing. I eat it. He's got to deal. I couldn't go with out that for a year. I don't drink coffee or smoke or caffeine. I get the chocolate.

I haven't been gone just sitting alone in a room on a chair with my boob hanging out. WELLLLL not alone alone but still alone. I do have to say that my dear sweet husband/Santa got me a iPhone for Christmas. Now first thing is I'm upset 'cuz I had a lot of things I would have loved to have gotten him with the cash he used for that but .... I guess if you make the money you get to splurge on whomever you'd like whenever you'd like to. I just know that I could never have done some thing like that. Money wise. But it has come in VERY handy. The iPod part of it and loud speakers on it soothed (semi) our little one to sleep at Nana's. The navigation part has saved me in town. The phone book helped get dinner. The email web part is nice to have something to do while nursing. Okay so I think that it's good.

Smart man bought the warranty and a case for me just 'cuz he knows me. I'm the one that drops phones in the toilets. Ta he he he.

Oh and it has movies it'll play and games and a stock market check and weather check for whatever and where ever I choose.

Next thought. What is it about these faces that make me love them so much. Is it the checks? yeah they're great. Round, plump, cute, start that the eyes. Those eye lashes are long and Brenner's eyes are such dark chocolate drops that you loose yourself in them. Beckett's are so perfectly round and bright. No I know what it is. It's that they look just like their daddy. After all.... I do love the man and enjoy a good stare from across the room or down the pew at church. But my favorite is catching a wink from him.

Side note. What 6 year old's face isn't perfect without a magical dragon on it? Seriously. It's a needed item. Psst. Too bad Brian opted for the butterfly that day? j/k.
