magazine

Alison Wonderland commented on my last post: "I'm not sure how it happened but I'm 32 and I've never even been on the cover of a magazine. Weird huh?"  Which by itself made me crack up.  But it also got me to thinking:

we need our own magazine.

We can call it, "Completely Boring Blogging Housewives of the World" and I'm going to be the first one featured.

I'll include stuff like if I've managed to brush my teeth for the day.  Or how many times I have to buckle kids into carseats on any given week day.  And possibly -if I want the feature to be horribly awesome- I'll include minute details on how I add fabric softener to my laundry.

So, clearly Alison has the next feature.  But who goes after that?  And tell me, what would you want your feature to include?

How do you feel about nudity? I am OK with partial nudity, if you are prudish.

Mine would include the copious consumption of chocolate chips, bagels, and Diet Dr. Pepper. Also yelling at my baby for growing up too fast and my older boys for not growing up fast enough (or, more accurately, not running to the TOILET fast enough.)

This is a great idea. Totally on board. I'll even siphon money from Superman's paycheck to pay for the subscription.

I love the idea of statistics. Mine would include how many times I tell Aaron not to touch Spencer's face in a day or how many times my kids complain about doing the same things they have to do every single day (I call it flopping because especially David Drops to the ground and flops like a fish as if he's just received the worst news in the world. "What!?! I have to make my bed TODAY, too!?! I thought that was just the other 364 days of the year!).

Mine would include how many times I've had to say, "stop licking your brother" and all the various areas that I've wiped poop off of, and how many time outs have happened before lunch. Also, might have to include the fun and exciting things I find in the dryer after a cycle has been run. The adventure never ends!

I can be your single writer. I'll post about all the things I do on weekends to make it seem like I'm busy and don't care that I'm not on a date. Awesome.
Ok, first of all you began this whole post with a link to the Wonderland so I am officially your biggest fan. And secondly You're a genius for taking my stupid thought and turning it into something awesome.

I'm not sure of everything that I want in my article but can we please make sure to mention the considerable time I spend taking the cigarette lighters (no, no one here smokes we just have lighters around) away from the two year old?

I would have to include how many poopy diapers I changed; how many times I picked up the same mess that day; how many times my children called me "mean". The list goes on and on and on and....

Mind would be I Stayed Up Really Late Looking at Blogs and Yahoo Headlines ... For No Reason.

Killer, eh?

Can you do a photo spread about all the various fashionable designs spit-up can come in? I currently have an almost floral pattern of it down my shirt and skirt.

Hmmm, mine would include the way my dishes are never all the way clean, but in a delicate cycle of disarray.

I might also mention my stinky adventures in attempting to quit wearing aluminum-based deodorant. I know a lot of people would want to know ALL about that.

My article would include all the smelly diapers all over and how I can never get my house clean with out my child screaming. My picture would feature my newly wonderful strecht marks in my hot biknini center fold. It would be hot!

GIVEAWAY (of the photo Christmas card variety)

I think I just creeped out my four year old. I pulled out the, "You'd better go to bed because Santa's Elves are watching you to make sure you're being good!" routine. His eyes got big, and round, and scared. And he said, "Why would they do that?!" Also, our church building burned down yesterday. No wait, it didn't. But the alarm went off, and the entire ward just sat there in the chapel (and gym, because we have an enormous ward.) I sat there too. I don't know what everyone else was thinking, but the thought going through my head was, "Can somebody please get that alarm turned off, it is WAY TOO LOUD!!!!" Seriously, I think our ward is now 37% deafer after that. Oh, and there was no actual fire. And the first fire truck to show up was driven by one of our ward members who was on duty that day. Good times. And now, that GIVEAWAY: For procrastinators everywhere (that would include me) I'm giving away one free photo Christmas card d

little pieces of my heart will be for sale at D.I.

I have this thing about my kids clothes. The thing is, I LIKE BUYING THEM CLOTHES. I get in trouble frequently for this. It's just that the old ones get so boring after awhile. And I hate it when the really cheap clothes look like poop after washing them a couple of times. Luckily, I live in a city that has outlet stores. I love outlet stores (and Ebay!) Alot of the time you can find higher quality clothes for Walmart prices so how could I NOT buy them? It would be like wasting money for me NOT to get a couple $4 shirts at OshKosh. Right? RIGHT?!! The problem is - we have tiny closets. Miniature, puny, ridiculous, TINY closets. The other problem is - I have saved EVERYTHING. Not only are the kids' closets chuck full of stuff, but we have multiple rubbermaid bins in our garage full of baby clothes they've all grown out of. Also, we may not be having any more children. And I say "may not" because if I say "for sure not" someone will have to co
