I *Heart* Inversion

I love January! Half of it is too snowy and cold to even get your mail and then the other half is nice and 'balmy' but you'll die of lung cancer if you go get your mail! Love it! To top it off my daughter is off track AFTER the Christmas break! I am on entertainment duty and I am tired!! Christmas wiped me out physically, emotionally and mom-ially and it continues!!! I love my kids but I am grateful for school-someone else can give them structure and entertainment for a few hours and probably do a much better job at it than me! I am about ready to run away to Park City to breathe some fresh, non-toxic air but I know that will cause spending money I do not have so I have been spending a lot of time at "Jumpin' Jacks", a bounce house with all the blow up slides and such. It's a pretty good work out for me and the girls! Lily loves the biggest slide there and guess who gets to carry her up those awesome stairs-that'd be me! We would get down to the bottom and she would sign 'more, more, more' with a big smile on her face so up we go again!

Another thing we've been doing is watching a whole lot'a TV! Just to give you an idea of how bad it is Audrey was laying on the couch and said, "I'm cold! I need a Snuggie!" That's one of those blankets with sleeves that make you look like a creepy monk! But look how happy these people are with theirs! You can even knit AND stay warm! Annie came in the bathroom one day when I was putting on mascara and
she said, "Mom, is that a Spin-Lash?"
Mom: "Huh??"
Annie: "A Spin-Lash!"
Mom: "It's mascara"
That's when she walked out apparently thinking I was a lost cause. The next day I came in where the TV was on and there was a commercial on for a "Spin-Lash", a spinning mascara wand. WHAT THE H-WORD!?!??! Are we that lazy we can't just do it our selves!?!?!?

Audrey keeps telling me I need a Big-City Sliders cooker that makes cooking burgers easier than ever and it gives a smaller waistline and it cuts julienne fries!!!

Hmmmmm...... are we watching too much TV? I don't think so! I just NEED these products and my kids are on the lookout for my needs! I mean, Mother's Day is coming up and all! Is it April yet???

wow, this is the 3rd blog i've read in the last week or so about kids wanting stuff from infomercials! not kidding! hahaha!

I love it...how did we ever make sliders before? (Which I had never heard of before this commercial, but apparently they're all the rage.) Maybe it's just me, but when I was in school a snuggie was something completely different.

I have a hard enough time putting my mascara on without something spinning all out of control by my eyeball. I heart inversion too :(

Don't feel bad...my daughter wants a snuggie too..and she thinks our computer needs finallyfast.com!

This is hillarious! I'm glad my kids are not the only ones who want a Snuggie! Just yesterday the kids saw (on a kids channel mind you)one that removes hair! Ireland and Brooklyn was so excited they came and told me about it and Brooklyn was like I can use that on my hairy arms mom!

I'm laughing so hard right now because I swear you are talking about my girls! You have just described my January perfectly-I should just cut and paste this onto my own blog! Have your girls written down those 1-800 numbers and given them to you? Mine have! If I have to hear my kids beg for Bendaroos one more time...

mintifresh said...

I hear about those stupid Bendaroos a lot, too! Those and Moon sand! UGH!!

Heather said...

Moon sand is evil!!! When I try to be a good mommy and do something besides the TV or Computer I will occasionally pull out our moon sand. It is seriously worse than playdoh. It never dries and it gets EVERYWHERE! Just avoid the stuff if you can.

amber said...

Just so you know, last time we talked about Moon Sand I said I didn't remember if it was messy or not because my kids hadn't played with it in such a long time. Well guess what? I spoke too soon. The next night they pulled it out all on their own and I agree with the previous comment...it's awful. After the kids used every kitchen towel to "clean" it up, I threw it away...without them knowing, so don't tell them -k-?!!
