Funniest/Weirdest Thing I've Seen Today....

We saw a real honest to goodness tumbleweed. Rolling right across the street. My 4 year old said 'what do you think it's doing here? Ya think it's on vacation?' I got excited because, well, I've never seen a tumble weed just tumbling along before, and then I had to laugh at a 4 year old interpretation of why there was a tumbleweed in Iowa.

One of my daycare kids said, "I'm thankful for you Miss Bethany. I'm gonna be thankful for you and Thanksgiving you." Lmbo!

I laughed my butt off at myself earlier.

I needed 4 cups of chicken stock to make my make-ahead gravy base. I had a 32 oz box or stock and proceded to pour it into the measuring cup. Guess how much was in there??? Ha!!!!

Guess what my degree is in!! MATHEMATICS!!!

Uh, . . . mommy brain moment!! :)

In the last week, I have met children with the following (given) names...

Outlaw
Pancetta

Yup. These parents should be fined for their stupidity. It did make me laugh, though.

Happy Thanksgiving!

While out doing errors today I saw not one but four different people driving around with stuff they had left on top of their car's. I was able to flag one lady down that had left her diaper bag on top of the car. I guess it is a sign that to many people are in a hurry today.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The HAPPIEST homeless man lives under the bridge near my in-laws. He stands there not asking for money but just waving to everyone that goes by. He always has his shorts on over his pants and a big smile on his face.

On the main road that our subdivision is off of, there is a strip of single lanes with homes. It is a "development", except not in the sense that there is one main entrance. All the streets, built by the same developer are attached directly onto the main road.
Anyway, the first street's corner house faces not the main road, but the actual street (off the main road). The lady who lives there pulls weeds (? we really don't know what she is doing) in her "back" yard all the time. In a one piece swimsuit and sneakers. Her entire "back" yard is frontage on the main road and everyone who drives down that road had nothing else to see (nothing is on the opposite side of the street, and it is the first house you come to after a long line of nothing but trees on either side for a half mile), so your eyes are naturally drawn to their yard as you go by.
Even at dusk, she will be out there in her swimsuit. No shorts, just the swimsuit and sneakers, bent over from the waist, pulling weeds. Or grass. or whatever...
When we first moved out this way, even our kids would crane their necks from the back seat to see "if she's out there..."... now we are so accustomed to it, that the only comment as we drive by is: "Yep. She's there."

ETA: (on Thursday night)... the family was driving home from Thanksgiving with my SIL, and I'm half asleep in the front passenger seat. From the back seat, I hear : "She's out." (we were passing that house....) LOL

Weirdest thing? I took all 3 of my angels (insert: sometimes monsters) to Wal-Mart for our last few things to cook today and they were SO WELL BEHAVED!! Yes, that needs to be in caps :). They normally ask a lot of questions (not necessarily can I have, but what is this, why is that, etc).

Today I told them we needed to get in and our and it was a madhouse. I didn't have to say ONE word to ONE of them. WOW! And they happily carried in the groceries when we got home.

They were tired, so we haven't started baking yet, but that gave me the opportunity to get the 3 casseroles I am responsible for tomorrow completed :).

I got a new phone and was scrolling through the Android market and saw a "fart" button. I knew the kids would have a blast with it so I installed it. The 4 yr. old say for an hour pushing/touching the screen it and laughing. The 8 yr. old discovered it a few minutes ago and immed. put it under her hiney and started pushing the screen to make the fart sounds...it was hilarious!

We always look for I am not sure if he is transgender or transvestite...anyways, we have a W. who walks to the bus stop and waits for the bus in our neighborhood that we watch for because I love her ensembles. I am not sure if it is her personal style or the fact she had a hard time finding clothes in her size.

It is a bit weird but good for her...

The joke of the day here is one of the managers wrote in the break room, "no cell phones allowed in the bathroom". We of course pointed out the obvious, are you going to frisk us?

Now it has degraded to joking every time we go to the bathroom. First the turning out of pockets, then on to, see I have mine, bahahahahhaaha.

I get that this is one of those you have to be there but it has been amusing the heck out of those of us stuck working today. 90% of the office is gone. I have to stay, ya know, my boss is a ........

Had a garage sale this past fall. One of the ladies who lives down the road decided she needed to get rid of some intimate night gowns. She took one of those trellises you put in your garden and transformed it into a showroom full of red black and pink feathery lacy garments and put it out for the WORLD to see driving by... I did a double take as I passed and nearly hit her mail box...

A big sign saying Discounted Lingerie... ON SALE!!

er... ok... whatever floats your boat lady. Everyone else is selling old desks and kids toys.. and you are the only one with LINGERIE?

I observed something interesting today. I started by going to the gas station to fill up my car and get a car wash.. BTW Gas is $3.09 here today. As I was pumping I noticed that every person pumping was female. No big deal..

I get to the Grocery store, And I promise you, there were hardly any women there! Mostly men (older), pushing baskets looking totally lost with their lists.

I even helped 3 of them, they looked so freaked out. I guess their women were home cooking, baking and prepping.

Well...I've been inside w/ a house full of kiddos, so just the usual, but your post reminds me of the crazy shopping lady in all those Target commercials, prepping for Black Friday! Too funny...and hey...the guys just wants to be buff!! :)

This is funny only because of the difference a few hours driving makes.... I left for My sisters on Saturday and saw a W. in a BMW almost run into the back of a bicyclist as she was getting in the lane to get on the freeway. When I came up beside her (she was going about 5 miles under the speed limit) she was doing something on her IPhone which involved looking at the passenger seat and texting. I honked and glared at her. She has no idea why but atleast it got her to look at the road for a few seconds.

When I was north about 150 miles in a parking lot of a Walmart the gentlemen in the pick up truck in front of me stopped atleast 4 times and talked to people getting in or out of their cars who obviously knew him as they were all laughing and having a short chat. Very diverse state I live in. The latter scenario was much more pleasant even if I did spend a little more time in a Walmart parking lot than intended.

P.S. That would be a funny site Cheryl. I do applaud his focus in fitness though!

Nothing that made me laugh today - in fact, I was appalled today at all the rude people in the parking lot at the grocery store!! It was like a racetrack!! Anyway, you reminded me of something similiar that my kids and I saw everyday this summer - that made us laugh. We would see this lady, almost daily, dressed in a sweat suit, with a turtleneck on, and a hat, IN 90+ DEGREE HEAT!!! she was jogging everyday, down one of our main roads. We were like you have got to be kidding me!!! She was probably doing one of those things where you wrap up to lose more weight or something, but we were always looking for her when we left the house!!

Both kids got to sleep in today as no school, but no one told the dog. At 7 am he anxiously jumped into my 8 year old's bed and tugged at the blankets while barking....I think he might have been worried the kids were going to be late for school...;-)

The only thing he was missing was a sexy Speedo, LoL!

Today when I took my mom home, there was a man on the side of the road, maybe waiting for bus. Weeeeell, he had the biggest brown stain on the FRONT of his pants and it mesmerized me for a moment and the car behind me tapped on their horn so I put my foot on the gas and almost hit the car in front of me because they were doing exactly what I was doing! I can see a brown spot in the back, but in the front...?
Lol, it was funny at the moment hee-hee!

My 3 y/o hits her brother, looks around, sees that we were looking at her and quickly pats him on the back, hugs him and tells him she’s sorry. After she is given the “Evil eye” but before one of us can speak she says “I know, go to the corner”

This didn't happen today, but a couple weeks ago. We have a new baby at home, and I was changing her diaper on the changing station of our pack n play in our bedroom. As I was switching diapers, she shot mustardy poop at me, so far that it hit our bed, which probably is only 9" or so away from the pack n play. I just stood there with my mouth open in amazement. I wasn't sure if I should be impressed or upset at the mess (of course it was one of the first days my husband was back to work, so it was just my 4 year old and me at home). That isn't the only time she's shot poop at me. And I thought they told you to beware of little boys while changing diapers :) But poop and all, I'm thankful for both my little girls! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
