Weird Kids, Wordles and Gifts for You! Woo Hoo!

Wordles

Welcome to the Weekend! We are rockin' our Wordle in honor of Shan's Week-end Wordles! This is Shannon's Wordle Launch Weekend so go and give her some linky love! She's also known as Baby Roca's Mama at My Last Shreds of Sanity! The kids and I had a bunch of fun making wordles this week! She's ready to show you how to rock your wordle so get on over there when you're all finished up here!

Weird Kids

I'm speaking of my weird kids, of course. Last night as we were tucking in for bed, I said to Miss Cat, "Don't let the bed bugs bite!" An evil grin appears on her cherubic face and she says, "I'll kill the bed bugs, put them in soup and use them in my chicken stir fry!" HUH? What the heck kind of crazy games does she play when I'm not around???? I'm kind of freaked out by this little angel!

This is the same weird kid that publicly humiliated our family at Olive Garden a few months ago during our delightful lunch outing. (She was five...) It went something like this...

Me: "Hey kids, I have a surprise for Daddy when we get home!"
(meaning: House is clean, laundry is done...weekend is free for family fun...trust me, that is a huge surprise...)

Cat: " What's the surprise, Mama? True Love's Kiss? (long pause....) Sex?"

Me: Choking and spitting out my peach tea..."WHAT???!!!!"

Whoa nellie! Hello! Where the heck did she learn that word????? Did I mention that the waitress is standing at the table trying not to bust a gut? Tween Caveboy covers his face with a napkin and buries his head in the sand. Chilly, of course, finds this hilarious and wants to know more. NERDANDERTHAL! Doesn't he know you can't stop this runaway train once you climb on board?

Of course, she used her outdoor voice when asking me this question. Finally, after recovering from my shock and horror, I ask her what she thinks that means. "It means to hug someone, Mama!" she smiles while sipping down her Sprite. "Where did you hear that word?" I lean over to whisper. "Giselle said it in 'Enchanted', Mama." again...with the outdoor voice! (And boo to you, Disney! Well, kind of boo...I really do love that movie...)

It's really no big deal to her, you see...or is it? Do I see a hint of an evil grin appearing on that little mouth of hers? I'm pretty sure I did.

Tween Caveboy has his weird moments too. I am not at liberty to share them. He charges me too much money for his stories. I simply can't afford him.

Gifts

My 100th post is coming soon! In order to celebrate, I'm hosting a fabulous giveaway! More details to come soon, but I'll give you a hint...it's gonna be big! Stay tuned!

Congrats on your awards and have a great weekend!
Blog Stalker said…
All I want to say is, HOW FRIKIN' Hillarious the Olive Garden Sex story was! Kids definitely say the darndest things. Not funny right then but now look at the awesome story you get to tell over and over. And embarass her when she is older. oh yeah!

Have a great day!
Unknown said…
congrats on your awards!! i dont think your kid is weird - mine lived to embarrass me. my youngest favorite game was to whine in the middle of the grocery store: "why do you have to hit me so hard, mommy?" finally i had to explain to her that what she was saying was NOT funny and she might end up with a new mommy if she kept it up.
Anonymous said…
I can't believe she said that?!?!? Hahahaha!

I saw a baby girl this week wearing this adorable girly skull dress. So cute!
Mother Mayhem said…
Aw... Now I have the warm fuzzies. :o)
Unknown said…
What a great award...I'll be checking out these...after I catch up on my own favs...

Bless your dd for using her outside voice to embarass you...you will laugh about this for years to come...and remind her often when she becomes a mom...lol.
Momo Fali said…
I don't remember "that word" in Enchanted! Good thing my six year old son didn't see it, or I would've been called out just like you were!

And, the bed bugs? Ew.
Claire said…
Oh my gosh! That's almost as good as Laura announcing to the whole library the appropriate names for boy and girl genitalia. Did Giselle say that in Enchanted? I really don't remember, but if so, boo is right. It's such a cute movie!

I'm very excited for your 100th post and giveaway. Mine was so much fine!

PS. My hubby would be just like yours-forget the young child saying "sex" in a restaurant, he would want more details!
Ashley said…
Miss Cat is hilarious! Poor you though :) I remember doing that to my mom!
Marie Reed said…
A hug is the only kind of sex my hubby gets lately! The definition rings true:)
Robyn Jones said…
OMG!!!That story made me laugh so hard I have to pee...Oh wait....I did....Hubby is also laughing....How old is this kid...I think I want to meet her! She is my hero....Oh...and weddings are your chance to get back...so keep notes...
A Psych Mommy said…
You definitely deserve all the awards! Your blog is a fave of mine!
A Psych Mommy said…
BTW--I wanted to mention that my husband got in trouble in preschool when he wrote "s-e-x" on the wall of his classroom. The teacher thought it was horrific--his parents labeled him as gifted.
ChicagoLady said…
Thanks for visiting my blog! I had fun creating my Wordle, with all the color options. Maybe next time I'll play with the fonts.

I used a blog post to create mine because I have absolutely no creativity and would never be able to pick my own words for it.
Shan G said…
Awesome Wordle, Dawn! I love that you made one to frame for you Chilly's Birthday!

And Awards, my sweet Lord you are getting the motherlode! But you deserve it all!

And thank you for participating in my meme. I heart you! {for more than just this reason, of course!}
Shan G said…
OH DANG! I forgot, one last thing....The sex comment...Oh I am waiting for that with my little one. BUT when we were in the grocery store a few months back...she was in the shopping cart, I was pushing it, Hubby was walking alongside, Ro reaches her hand in my shirt and says VERY LOUDLY "Mommy, you have BIG BooBoos. Daddy has little BooBoos. I will have Big BoobBoos someday. Can I see yours?"

I wanted to die of embarrassment! Maybe I nursed her a little bit too long....
Congrats on the awards! You deserve them my bloggy friend! Quite frankly you kick some major bloggy boo-tay!

I love kids! They say the darndest things, and in the darndest places too!

P.S. I'm excited for you giveaway! You have managed 100 posts FAST! You go girl!
LadyStyx said…
Oh dear Heaven! I think I would have slid under the table if that had happened to me. I suspect once kids start showing up here, that may very well be where I'll be spending alot of my time.

Very nice Wordle!
Kelly said…
Wow! I am honored that you would post a link to my blog and offer me that award. I am not sure what to do with it. I honestly can only think of 3 bloggers I know who would appreciate it. The rest are sort of private or people I don't know well enough yet. So please don't take offense if I don't pay it forward just yet. You are sweet to think of me...
Anonymous said…
Maybe if you play the movie backwards you hear the word "sex." Oooo, let's try it. Or maybe it's subliminal. That Disney can be sneaky.

Congrats on the awards!
I don't remember that in enchanted either...hmmm...maybe we just blocked it out? I can laugh at the Olive Garden story because it wasn't ME...BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Congrats on your awards:)
Stacy Uncorked said…
Congrats on your awards! You totally deserve them... :)

HILARIOUS dinner conversation...at a restaurant...I can totally see Princess Nagger doing/saying something like that when she gets older... LOL!!!
Congrats on your awards. Kids are so funny. My daughter doesn't say much yet, but I'm sure it will be interesting when she does.

nikkicrumpet said…
Ya gotta love a kid like that...especially when she belongs to someone else hehehe. If we only had a nickle for every time our kids embarass us. I learned that when they become teens...pay back is a ton of fun!

Guess Whoooo's 100? (It's the Mother of All Giveaways!)

(Update! Comments are now closed for the Monster Giveaway! Thank you for participating!) Whooo's 100? I am! This is my 100th post! To say I am astonished and humbled by the incredible support of my blog from fellow bloggers, friends and family would be an ginormous understatement! I am truly, deeply grateful that ya’ll stop by and visit me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (I had this scheduled to post at midnight, but for some reason, it didn't! I got up to check it about 1:30 am and discovered blogger's mischief! Sorry if you came by then!) All righty then…do you have a cup of coffee, hot cocoa, tea, martini? How about a masseuse? You’re gonna need it! It’s my 100th post and by the time you are done reading it, you’ll probably feel as old and tired as Rip Van Winkle! You know me and my long winded rambley-ness! (....the giveaway is here..I promise!) So, this is what I’ve come to know about blogging in the last 100 days…. Blogging is like taking a vacation to a place you n

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade

Tuesday's Tribute: Sharing the Love Giveaway!

As promised, I’m dedicating my Tuesday’s Tribute to all of you! Your kindness and support has meant the world to me! My life has been forever changed by all of the bloggy love I have received since Dec. 31, 2008. Thank you! My 100th post is coming next Monday. As I shared with you previously, I'm hosting a Monster Giveaway to say THANK YOU for your incredible support of my humble blog! There will be details in my 100th post on how to enter!

I am taking a poll over the next few days to help me determine if I should break it into several groups of goodies or offer one big lolla-pa-looza! (Just vote over on the left sidebar. I really appreciate your input!) I’ve had a few emails asking me how I chose the items for this extravaganza. I am sharing my favorite things with you! I am also throwing in a few things chosen by Tween Caveboy and Miss Kitty. Plus, I’m adding some fun items from my own shops, Black Crow Boutique and Mon
