Full Moons, Dunkin’ Donuts and …

1) If you read this blog, perhaps you read my friend MindyMom as well. Her and I spent an entirely FUN-FILLED four days in Vegas together, embracing our new-found friendship, and sealing it with naked hugs, of course.  (T is jealous of that.) Anyhoo, her recent post about there being a full moon – I’d have to say she’s right on target with that one. See the funny thing is, Min and I, well … we clicked when we met. Clicked. Like two peas in a pod. So when I texted her about that post, and gave her the … um, question I guess you could say, I got this response.

“OMG. Dude, are you physic?”

I had to laugh. Not physic my friend. TWO PEAS!!

2) Emilee was spending the night at her dad’s house one day this past week, and when I called to say good night to her, she asks, “Mom! Do you have a new boyfriend yet?”

“No honey, I don’t. It’s only been a few days! Sheesh. Mom doesn’t work that fast!” I told her.

“You know where you should go to get a boyfriend?” she asked.  ”Dunkin’ Donuts. I see lots of boys in there all the time.”

At that statement, I hear her father just start laughing his ass off  in the background.

So yeah, apparently, if you need a boyfriend? Just head to Dunkin’ Donuts.

3) Speaking of Em, she starts second grade in a week. Second grade. Where does time go? When we were doing our back to school shopping, she actually talked me into buying her a pair of Uggs.

See QT?  SUCKER.

My seven-year old has better shoes than I do.

4) And speaking of Em again, she was, bound and determined with the tenacity that is strictly her own, to get her ears pierced before school starts.  So, off we go.

She gets up in the chair, and as they only had one lady working, we had to do one ear at a time. Em gets that first one pierced and then …

She stared at me and said, “OW.”

She promptly decides she’s done. No more. One ear is fine.

I’m staring at her in shock. “You can’t just have one ear pierced, Em!” I said.

“Sure I can! It’s my body. My ears. We’re done!” she proclaimed.

*SIGH*

She jumped out of the chair while the lady is standing there with the piercing gun wondering what the hell is going on.

And in the end, I had to force her to get that second ear done. I hated it, but I felt her following through with HER decision to get her ears pierced was the correct thing to do.

She got the second one done and stared at me the whole time.

“This isn’t my idea of the best time,” she proclaimed.

Forty dollars later, I decided it wasn’t my idea of the best time either.

5) So here’s the thing … Mr. Incredible?

Not so Incredible anymore. So I decided I deserved more, in fact, I knew I deserved more. And when I told him so, he agreed.

*Laugh*

I promptly informed him he was not it, and sent him on his way.

And that my friends, is how you break up with someone.

Over um, text, by the way.  :D

    3. School shopping with my kids = priceless, and cha-ching.

    4. Wait till you take your daughter to get her belly button pierced :)

    5. Loser! Good riddance Mr. Not so I.

  7. Danielle says:

    Em cracks me up! I hope my kiddo ends up with a personality like that!
    Dunkin Donuts huh? My ass is going to get a lot bigger with that info!

  8. Tansy says:

    Oh damn – I hate being wrong! I was so sure Random was pulling our legs about Mr I. Sorry to hear it’s true, but onwards and upwards I say, and with the positive attitude you have, I can’t wait to hear all about it! Best wishes, Tansy

    ps – random – if I had a lawyer friend to speak on my behalf they would say that their client deeply regrets the lack of faith exhibited in your character and that I should have known better :)

  9. T isn’t the only one jealous of those naked hugs.

    Just sayin’.

  10. vinomom says:

    I’m still dying to know what Mr. Incredible did that was so UN-Incredible. But whatev. I understand you cant divulge everything.

    And girl – tell me where the time went when your kids starts 5th grade. ONE more year til Middle School!!! It’s insane.

  11. ShaNaNa says:

    Hey it’s me! ShaNaNa did not fall off the face of the earth :)
    Mr. I yes so deserved the break up via text.
    Em – I love that she has her dads funny jokes! Dunkin Donuts????? Does she like hefty boys?

    Dunkin Donuts… never thought of it as a pick up joint! I guess I’m out of the loop… If I could just find a Dunkin Donuts next to a Starbucks with a Valero Gas Station around the corner… I’d be set!
    My youngest is 12, he just left private school because he wants to go to the public High School and wants to make friends with people “before it’s too late”
    He’s so much like me, it’s scary.
    First time here but enjoyed your Blog.
    The Text Break up is pretty cold… isn’t modern technology GREAT! LOL

    The only types at my local donut shop are the old retired guys, sitting outside drinking coffee. Too bad for me I guess! They’re not exactly my type. ;)

    Your daughter sounds so cute!

    And text? I would more than likely do the same thing. Heh.

  14. April says:

    I’m glad you recognized you deserved more. Because YOU’RE incredible!

  15. I just me some Em stories. Having an 8 year old daughter myself I can totally relate.

    SO FUNNY!

    Well it just sucks that Mr. I ended up being less than incredible. BOO, HISS!

    It is awesome though, that you recognized it early, and you broke it off for all the right reasons. Instead of being weak and keeping him around because of some retarded “any man is better than being alone” mentality.

    You deserve only the best!

  16. I need an edit button…that was supposed to say; “I just LOVE me some Em stories.”
