Me vs Spanks ... The Olympics of dressing up

Last week Rick and I got to go on a double date with my best friend and her hubby.  The men love buffet's but we're not big eaters so it's always a waste for us.  She found a local casino had a deal for $12.95 for the month of August.  So we figured that was what we would pay for a normal meal so we can go along.  Going on a date sounds all great until you have to get ready for one.  So we start the Olympics of getting dressed.  Get your Spanks ready here we go (insert some fun music here):

• Do you Wii Zumba (saying a little pray to loose 30 lbs before getting dressed)
• Step on the scale (say a few nasty words) not even close to a 30lb loss
• Get in shower, turn into an acrobat putting legs up to shave them!  
• Step out see you miss a patch have to sit on the tub and try to do a dry shave an nick yourself.
• Say a few more not so nice words look for a band-aid
• Find an Angry Bird one and think yup that is sexy!
• Find a dress you have been praying would fit, put it on husb says you're wearing that? 
• "What do I look bad?" "No it's just fancy" - GIVE him Hair Eyeball
• Take it off second guessing yourself and put on Capri's and feel frumpy
• Go back to dress, now feel self conscious.
• NOW the hunt for Spanks that fit, finally find a pair
• NOW the spanks pull up, FEELING like the lady in Steel Magnolias that looks like 2 pigs wrestling under her dress ... YUP that is how I looked pulling those suckers UP!
• Put on pretty shoes
• Tell the babysitter good bye and hit the car.
• Of course hit traffic and have to sit in said spanks not so comfy
• Hit the casino crawl out of the car praying "Please legs work, let you have circulation" 
• Get in and the cold air hits me and now I must pee ... Damn it sucks getting old
• Hit the bathroom and pray as I roll the spanks down that they don't shoot off like a rubber-band
• Everything goes good, I do have to do the 2 pig dance to get them back up, Knock my head and elbow on the stall but all is good!
• Hit up dinner and actually able to sit for a night of dinner.
• Then of course comes the need to pee again ... YUP we repeat the dance and the knocking of body parts!
• Another ride home and time to release the spanks ... yup those suckers flew off like a rubber-band and on went the pink cupcake PJ's oh yes sexy I am.

Thank God we only go out every few months!  How do ladies wear those every day??

A Fun Week Working From Home .... (PINT Style)

What counts as a good mom?

A good mom remembers that EVERY Thursday is show-n-tell day, she has the calendar on the refrigerator and looks at it every week to see what the theme is. Yup that would be what you would call a good. Now in my case I do know every Thursday is show-n-tell, since I even reminded Cole that we need to bring his item. I even have the calendar on my fridge and I even looked at it yesterday going ok V or Harvest item. No problem we have to have something in the toy chest that would qualify for either of those. Now most moms would look the Tuesday so if God forbid you need to pick something up you wont be having to run out Wednesday PM. Yup that would be a good plan, not my plan but yes a good plan. So after dinner and after bath time, I start looking threw the toy box. To my dismay no V items and no Harvest items. Crap ok everyone let's get dressed and run to the dollar store (yes I'm cheap like that).

So of course Cole is only in underwear and Caden is in his PJ's minus socks of course! I tell Cole go get PJ's and we'll hope in the car, hey it's not like we're going to Wal-Mart and have to dress up. LOL that is my all time favorite White Trash Email that was sent around a year or so ago, a lady in the newspaper said the she liked going to the dollar store so she didn't have to dress up like she does when she goes to Wal-Mart. Oh yeah I was so being a subject of that email and under that line would be a picture of my children going to the Dollar Store! Yup I leave you with these great pictures!

Here is Cole in the outfit he picked out for to go shopping.
Yup a stripped T-Shirt, Camo pants and no one leaves the house with out Thomas slippers!

I'm ready mom, I got in the car seat! Oh it has to be in the car?

Minus socks of course (in my purse I at least put those on him)

Look mom I'm ready to go! Wink Wink!
