Today was a long day. So a bath for 2 little boys was something that we all needed to unwind. Usually I can crack open a book once the boys are settled in the tub, if I'm lucky I can read a chapter or even two before getting soggy from all the splashing. Tonight, I decided we all needed to be in bed early, so I just tossed them in and started the wash cycle. While washing Tommy's hair, I noticed his legs looked like an identical (but smaller) version of his dads. Skinny like sticks and white as a neon ghost. Blinding white. So....I commented on how similar they looked to daddy's. John of course chimed in, throwing his leg and about a gallon of water in the air.... and shouted "Do mine look like daddy's too?" "Nope" I replied, "you got legs like your mama, sorry son". With a confused look on his face, Tommy was determined to check this out. He pushed aside the Mr. Bubbles' residue, and said...."Aaaah, John, you DO have legs like Mommy's.....all bruised up and hairy."
Uh.....EXCUSE ME? I didn't sign up for this abuse! What I meant was, he had darker skin and they were short.....sheesh! Some people!

The Adventures of Vomit Boy and Sassy Pants....
Seriously, my life could really be a low budget movie! I'd be the super hero mom, that bakes cookies and fights off the bad germs with her can of Lysol and bottle of Vitamin C. Tom can be the crime fighting dad....duh, and Vomit Boy, sadly played by Thomas....and Sassy Pants (formerly played by Thomas) now starring John.
The flick could start like this.....dad leaves for work at the butt crack of dawn, mom wakes shortly afterwards to tend to her mom-like duties (you know, gotta throw off the bad germ). When she wakes the boys, she gets lip from Sassy Pants, and the same old boring excuses from Vomit Boy. "Mom, I don't wanna go to school.....my head hurts, I'm cold, I'm tired, I have a tummy ache....my toenail is throbbing. (okay I threw in that last one to make sure you were reading!)
Fast forward 45 minutes, we're in the car, Sassy Pants is yelling that he can't here his favorite song, and could you quit using the turn signal when you change lanes because it's annoying. Vomit boy is.......well much to my surprise.....VOMITING! In the back seat of my car! We flipped the car around and everyone is staying home! Especially me because my ride now smells like rotten raisin bran (no milk thank goodness).
Apparently mom isn't doing her part to keep the bad germs away....I better log off for the day and tend to my duties!
