I am cracking myself up with the cat pictures.

Posted on July 29, 2011by Perfect Life

We has some friend over last night for dinner and somehow the cat we have came up in conversation.

As you can tell I have a black kitty.  She is funny.  She thinks she is a dog and growls at people.  She is annoying in the middle of the night and if she thinks you are moving around too much and interrupting her sleep she will bite your toe.  I don’t understand that cause she usually gets kicked off the bed if that happens.  She lets you know when her food bowl is empty and she will only drink from the dog’s water bowl.  Which that stupid water bowl is up so the dogs don’t have to bend over for.  So that means she ends up flipping over the water bowl and spilling all over.  Lovely

But Tuesday night I found out she likes her picture taken with my cell phone.  I was trying to annoy her with the flash cause she was being a bed hog.  Well the stupid cat LIKES when I take her picture.  Stupid Cat.  She makes the funniest face when the flash goes off then she starts purring and sits there.  So Tuesday night, Wednesday night and last night I amused myself with this.  Husband laughs too.  We have gotten some pretty funny pictures.  I love the nose ones.

So while I am telling out friends this and cracking them up I might add, DD17 pipes up, OHHHHHHH is that what you have been doing cause I see is the camera flashing and I am not even gonna tell you what I was thinking your were doing.

After we all cracked up my thought was well, at least she doesn’t think we are the parents that have only had sex twice…

Conversations with the kids

Posted on July 26, 2011by Perfect Life

Last Night:

This one is with the 17 year old daughter.

me:Ok so be dead honest and tell me the truth. DD17 have you ever driven a car before?

DD17: Well no, but Friend was trying to teach me about driving a stick shift and getting the timing down.

me: then how have you never been behind the wheel

DD17: I was in the passengers seat

me: not the same.  So you have never been behind the wheel?

DD17: no, pause pause, but you can teach me.  Lets go.

Husband to DD17: you will be begging me to teach you, I dont think mom is going to be so patient.

me: with me rolling my eyes, I taught your MOTHER to drive a stick shift, I can teach my daughter to drive an automatic.

Then later texting with with DD11 and her dad.

DD11:  can I eat this real quick before bed

Husband: yes (then about 10 other very random texts)

DD11:  Dad you are texting too fast, I have about 10 unread messages I am behind.

Me: I am think we have failed, how could we be texting to fast?  I need to give her better life skills.

That is what happens in my house, what about yours?

Monday Writer’s Prompt – I did it anyway

Posted on July 25, 2011by Perfect Life

You know that thing someone told you not to do but you did it anyway?  That is what this is about.

There is so much in life that people tell you to do or not to do.  Every day there is someone or something that tells you that you should not do that, whatever that it.  I am at that point in my life where I actually feel grown up enough to make my own decisions.  Not that I have not always felt that way, but there is something about turning 40 that makes you rethink things.  That is my next birthday.  40.  Yikes.

There are things that I used to think were completely wrong.  Now meh, not so much.  Your life is excatly what you make it. 

So what did I do anyway?  Well, I lived, I stood up for myself, I have fun, I enjoy my life daily and the people in it.  I have taken people out, added people but in the end, I just did what was excatly right for me, me and my little family.

So there you have it.  Do it anyway and have fun while you do it. 

This advice is not for my 17 year old daughter, you still have to listen to me, lol.  You are not old enough yet.  Someday, but not today.
