A quick quack

*I know my blog isn't "Ducky" anymore, but I can't think of another catch phrase for these at the moment.*

Here's my question to you.

You know you've lost your mind when you:

A. Reach for the Lysol can instead of your hair spray can.

B. After ten minutes of your husband playing with your hair, you realize he took your ponytail out and you don't remember it.

C. When you reach into the cupboard for a tampon and you pull out a cotton swab, but don't realize it until your husband says "well, I hope that works for you."

D. All of the above.

See comments for the answer.

Miss J, my eldest daughter, said the sweetest thing tonight after giving her and her sister dinner. She said "oh thank you Mommy for making us our dinner. You're so sweet!" Awww! Her sister, Miss A, does the same thing when I give her snacks. She will repeatedly say "thank you mama" until I say you're welcome. Double awww! It's moments like these that reaffirm why I love being a mom. I am truly blessed to be their mother.

You know you're tired when you go into a public restroom, walk into one of the stalls, get ready to sit down, and then realize your stall door is still wide open. Talk about a wake up call. I'm thinking I should go to bed earlier.

My husband went in to wake our girls up for church this morning around 7:30. Now usually they are up by then but not today. So he goes to wake up our oldest and she looked at him and said "go away daddy; leave me alone!" Then proceeds to roll away.

Just recently, a friend mentioned that it was hard to wake up her young children in the morning. So now I'm wondering if this is the beginning to harder mornings at our house. But it was nice she slept in and her response was pretty funny. :)

I probably should stop taking naps, because who knows what my husband teaches our children while I'm asleep. lol This conversation took place after my nap while my husband was trying to get our oldest dressed to go outside.

Daddy you're making me crazy!
What did she just say?!?
(Husband laughing hysterically)
You're making me crazy! Let go!
She did NOT learn that from me!
(Husband still laughing as I walk into the room)

A few minutes later...

Mommy we need to go to the dr.
Why do we need to go to the dr?
We need to so we can get my baby brother!
What?!? RICHARD! What have you been telling her?!?
(Husband doubles over with more laughter)

He swears he didn't tell her any of this. Whatever. LOL

My daughter says the funniest things sometimes as you already know from this post. Today was similar. Here's our conversation:

"Mommy, I have a question."
"Ok, what is your question?"
"Let me get it out of my underwear for you." (Proceeds to pull something out and put in her cup-shaped hands)
"What is it?"
"It's a hat. It's a green hat. Here you go. You can hold for a few weeks, just like that."
"Um, why thank you." (I *set* the item down)
"Mommy, oh no! You dropped it!"
"Oh, uh, I'm sorry. Here, you hold it." (I pick *it* back up and hand it back to her)
"Ok, I'll just put it back in my underwear for right now."

LOL

Why do you think the bathrooms in my college have room numbers? Is the big sign that says "RESTROOMS" not big enough and students have to resort to a tiny number above the door? Maybe some students can only follow a map with numbers for locations? Are classes held in there? I don't have a class in the bathroom. Someone please explain this.

My oldest has two new favorite phrases that just kill me. Her first and my favorite, is "are you kidding me!" along with a quizzical expression and hands out. She probably picked this one up from me, but she is much cuter. I love when she says it to her younger sister. LOL

Her second phrase is "Mommy, can I ask you a question?" then she proceeds to hand me something. I don't think she's grasped the concept of question-asking but it makes me smile nonetheless. :)

What is the world coming to

This morning we had a downpour of rainfall. All of the college students were drenched walking from class to class. As the rain was pouring down, something bewildering happened. I found that the soon to be chemists, nuclear engineers, biologists, dentists, dr's, geologists etc. were afraid to walk through the puddles. Yes, you read that right. At every puddle, there were a group of students looking confused by how they would ever get to class with a puddle in their way.

Oh. My. Word. It was really sad. We were already soaked, what was another inch of water going to do? Not to mention, the soles on shoes are usually thicker than the puddles that stumped my fellow classmates. So naturally I stomped right through, splashing and laughing all the way.

Just because we're in college doesn't mean we can't be kids at heart. Geez, it's just a puddle. lol

Don't let your husband give you vitamins without first telling you to expect a neon yellow color while in the bathroom. Unaware, you will immediately freak out and run to the kitchen sink and drink 3 glasses of water.
