Once again, it's Double Duty Friday

Ok.Let's take care of business....

First things first, my first participation in the Flip Off Friday hosted by Kludgy Mom was last week and I had to do it again. Last week, I flipped out what was bothering me, left it all out on the ~~table~~ blog and it felt oh so good, so here we go again.

1. To the deaf ear my kids turn toward my voice: FLIP OFF. I don't even know if this is going to sound right, but I wish they would listen. I might as well be talking to a wall. If I tell you not to do something, I mean it. It's not that I don't want you to have fun, I don't want you to get hurt. So, Sophia, after you have a normal ct scan and then spin around in circles and I tell you to stop, and you keep going, get dizzy and hit the back of your head on the corner of the wall creating a serious egg and almost splitting it open, maybe you will listen to me next time. But, probably not.

2. Again, to the cat: FLIP OFF. I stepped in the present you left me in the hallway this morning and cat pop between the toes is not a good feeling at 5:00am, while holding a baby and wishing you could go back to sleep. Seriously, keep it up and the poop is gonna hit the fan.

3. To my mailman: FLIP OFF. You are nosy. You talk to much and you put in your 2 cents where really they aren't even worth 2 cents. I don't care that you don't like the University of Texas, my Alma Mata, so please refrain from writing on my mail and yelling through the mail slot during football season when we kick your teams butt. Yes he did that. And sorry but I really don't care about your views on NJ's high property tax rate, what is going on with the neighbors, politics and I don't want to debate with you on why I support same sex marriage. Get over it already! Know when to shut up. Put the mail in the slot and keep walking. That sounded a little harsh, but if you met him you'd understand.

4.To my stubborn baby weight: FLIP OFF: I know I did this one last week, but I flipped it off and lost 3 more lbs so, it may just become a ritual. That deserves a double flip off FLIP OFF!

5. To Friday: FLIP OFF. I wish it were Saturday.

Thanks Kludgy Mom, Flip Off Friday is the best thing since dark chocolate.

Double Duty Friday

I love Kludgy Mom and her Flip Off Fridays are right up my alley. So after reading the Flip off Friday post written by Go Pop Go, I couldn't help but participate and join the ride. I have some things I want to Flip off, why not start the weekend stress free and leave it all on the table (or the blog)? After all Saturday is my birthday and who wants to carry that mess over? Right. So here we go.

To the Sand man: FLIP OFF. You haven't sprinkled effective sleepy dust in my son's eyes for a couple weeks now. I don't know if he's getting what's left over from the night before or the lower grade dust you give to teething infants but we need the good stuff and pronto before mommy loses it. You deserve a double FLIP OFF.

To my cat: FLIP OFF. I know you are old, lazy and fat. But how are you're worse than the kids? When they stop whining you start! And in your old age you've become a Diva, pooping on the floor when I don't clean you liter box the minute a drop of pee hits it. And thanks to you, my husband and I have had our share of poop between our toes first thing in the morning. And why do you eat so much and follow me whining around until I top off your bowl?You better watch it or your next ride will be to the Vet.

To my stubborn baby weight: FLIP OFF. I work out, jump, run, lift squat and lunge and you hang around moving slower than an inch worm in a pile of mud. But I'll be damned if you're here in 2011!

To my neighbor: FLIP OFF. I know you are a nice old man but you've never had kids and mine don't get your sarcasm. So when you tell my kids you are going to have a party with Mickey Mouse, candy, dolls and trains, they believe you, especially my 3 year old. Then I have to tell her this isn't true which sends her to into serious breakdown mode that I have to deal with, so thanks.

To age 36: FLIP OFF. I know you will be here tomorrow and I will officially be closer to 30 than 40, (but still younger than my husband). FLIP OFF. FLIP OFF. FLIP OFF. You're not going to get me down with your slower metabolism and increase in gray hair. I feel good, look good and just watch in 4 years, 40 will be my best age yet. Life is good! So again..FLIP OFF!

Ahhhhhhhh.......never felt better!

Now onto that I'm stress free, onto the good stuff, or wait maybe that was the good stuff. So ok, onto the other stuff. I love everything about blogging, including reading new blogs!
