today, I needed my fix

I need to post for the whole nablopomo thing. Except that I'm having a day. Let's just say that after the kids went to bed I downed a bag of M&M's in about 3 minutes.

Curse you small bag - why did I even buy that size?!!

You may have noticed that I haven't even mentioned M&M's in awhile. I was getting better. But they are my vice. And today I NEEDED THEM.

The End.

P.S. Diet, caffeine free, generic cola is worth NOTHING. Don't buy it. Ever. The diet part I like, the generic I can handle, but without the caffeine it's pointless. (Please remind my husband of this next time you see him at the grocery store.)

Some days totally call for peanut M&M's. Totally. On those days I'll have to bake some into some cookies or something.

I currently have a diet-caffeine free cola in my fridge. They were all out of regular. Do you notice I'm not drinking it?

Now, if I only had me some M&M's...

M&M's are always good for what ails you. If doctors realized the medicinal properties, they'd start prescribing them.

I bought 4 liters of Diet Dr. Pepper today. Not generic. With caffeine. I've also learned this lesson the hard way.

And a theater size box of junior mints.

I see NO similarities between us.....

hair loss and mourning

I like Monkey's hair long. I tried to grow out Opie's hair when he was younger, but he has always had a tremendously large head, and he also has very thick wavy hair. You pair those two together, throw in some long locks, and you've got yourself a genuinely bonified giant-head child. So I've learned my lesson: keep Opie's hair short. But Monkey's hair? It's so soft, and straight (our only straight-haired child) and super super cute when it's long. SUPER CUTE. (Agree with me - it's my blog.) But not many people liked the whole long hair thing. I kept having to threaten various family members with things like, "If I come back to find him with short hair I will DISOWN you, run away with my kids and you will never hear from us again. EVER." (Husband was particularly sensitive to this threat.) However, I did say that once random strangers started referring to him as a girl, I would consider cutting it. And even though ...

yeeeeeeee ha

We took the kids to a rodeo today. In my mind I knew I wanted to take them for the experience, but also I was thinking: rodeo=country western torture. I've been to a few rodeos before. The small town next to the small town where I grew up had one every summer. It was always hot and super dusty, and everyone got to sit on rickety-ish old stadium benches that didn't have backs. Also, you had to make sure you didn't wear flip flops, because they could fall under the benches and get trampled by the waiting bulls. (Seriously, there were bulls below us once - I was like 9, it scared the poop out of me, I thought my shoes were goners.) But the rodeo today? SUPER AWESOME. I would bet money that I had a better time than my kids did. (And they didn't even play that much country music, which is great, because I think that would have ruined the whole thing for me.) First of all, it was indoors. And at noon. And had special fam...
