Dear Someone

Dear Monkey,

Something has got to change. I mean it. I'm only 33 years old...I'm not meant to have this many grey hairs. Also, I'm pretty sure the neighbors don't appreciate the yelling they hear coming from this house.

So, I've been thinking about how you can be my big helper, and we can try to make the grey hairs and the yelling come to an end.

Let's talk about your relationship with the dog. I'm pretty sure she doesn't appreciate being blamed when you have an accident in your pants because you're too lazy to put your toys down and go to the bathroom. So please, I don't want to hear, "Ty's a naughty dog, she peed my pants" ever again. Okay?

Next, I really, really did not enjoy walking into the kitchen last week to find the floor, yourself, and the dog completely covered in flour. Dumping flour on the dog because you were, as you put it "making it snow on Ty" is not okay. I realize we're getting excited for Christmas, but it is NEVER okay to flock the dog!

Now, finally...I know you're a pretty smart girl. That's why I need you to get it into your head, that no matter now many times you try, you cannot fit the contents of your 16 oz. water bottle into the lid! So PLEASE quit trying to pour the water out of the bottle and into the lid so you can use it for a tiny cup. I'm sick of slipping in the water puddles you leave all over the tile.

I'm sure this isn't the last such letter I'll have to write, but my fingers don't have enough energy today to address EVERY issue you and I need to discuss - so let's just start here - shall we?

With All My Love,
They greying, yelling stressed out one - your mom.

I'm linking up to Shortmama's Dear Someone...go check it out to read more letters, or link up yourself!

Oh I hope we do not make snow in our house. Too Funny. Have a great day.
Love it! My son had a confetti party today with all the paper he pulled out of the shredder. Sounds like they would get along great :)

Oh my..you've got your hands full! Reminds me of the time my oldest daughter got the scissors at nap time, she cut her hair, all her barbies hair, stuffed animals hair..and when I walked into her room, she shoved the scissors under the bed really quick..like I couldn't tell what she did by all of the hair on the floor and the mullet that she gave herself! Kids!

Oh my!! This is too funny! Monkey definitely keeps you busy. And I am right with you, I am almost 29 but already have to dye my hair due to the amount of grays. sigh
I understand you there. I have a post similar to this one on my blog called "I was gone only a minute" Isn't motherhood wonderful. We all get to learn how to take life in strides and how to laugh at things in the end. I just wish I could laugh while it was happening too.

roflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My daughter dumped a 32oz cup of water on the floor as she was trying to pour it into a little tea cup today!
(Indignantly!) And why is there no photo of this flour covered dog??! I believe Monkey has been framed!!
Heather said…
haha love it! Our oldest 2 made "snow" with baby powder and covered almost every single surface in their room with it...good times...
I love that the dog peed her pants. That, along with the sippy cup and the flour, they can make a really icky paste.
:)
Not funny? OK. Sorry. Hang in there.

the water in the lid made me laugh out loud...I can see both of mine trying that one!

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t
