Triple Threat Thursday

I'm tired and being really cheesy with my title, okay?

I felt like doing something lighter today, after all the pouring out of hearts yesterday, so I'm going to really quickly participate in three different memes.

Wait, don't run away! I promise it will still be a short a post.

By the way, if you didn't get a chance to read some of the posts from people who linked up for Pour Your Heart Out yesterday, be sure to check them out. Fabulous stuff!

First up is Thank You Very Much with Kmama at The Daily Dribbles.

To the woman in Target yesterday who decided that her ONE toddler needed the three-kid shopping cart. Thank you very much.

You can't even justify it by saying that it's a fun cart, like a race car or something.

Nope, just a regular cart with that big attachment thing on it.

And, you needed to grab it as I was walking in with my THREE kids in tow.

Thank you very much.

You are lucky that the cart guy hunted down another one for me or I might have accidentally clipped your ankles with my cart.

Next is The Skew with Supahmommy & co. Their topic this week is Netiquette.
And they have a super cute button that I can't find right this second, but I'll put it
*HERE*
when I find it, because that is good netiquette.

Just one thing I want to say here, and this was brought up at Bloggy Bootcamp, too.

When you are leaving a comment on someone's blog, make it about their post, don't just say, "Come visit me at www. pleasegivememorefollowersandpageviews. com."

Because if you don't read someone's post, why should they come read yours?

And don't try to copy and paste "Great post! Come visit me at....."

Not that I always leave the best comments. I know, I totally suck sometimes.

But, I don't beg you to come visit me.

Not in a comment, anyway. ;)

I'm going to make an exception here, though. Some of you are new to my blog and I'd love to be able to go visit you, too, but I can't find you. So, in this case, PLEASE DO leave your url.

Next up Top 3 Thursday with Confessions From a Working Mom and The (Un)Experienced Mom, who asked for your top 3 quirks.

 3. I clap and dance and jump around like a giant dork when I'm happy or excited about something. Like I'm a cheerleader or something. No, I never was one.  2. I take certain words and overuse them to death. Like "fabulous" and "actually." Eventually, I stop using that word completely and laugh hysterically whenever I hear someone else say it because it reminds me of my overuse.  1. I laugh inappropriately all the time. Sometimes, I'll be thinking about something else entirely, or my mind will go off on a tangent, or I'll think how Hubs would make whatever is being talked about into something dirty, or I just don't know how else to react. So, I laugh.  Join in some of these fabulous memes!

Just Dance Thankyouverymuch

It's here. The big day when I embarrass myself by showing you just how much I can't dance.

But, I can still completely ROCK a high score on the Nintendo Wii game "Just Dance."

You can look like a retarded stringbean when you dance(name that movie) and still get a good score. Though, since the diet isn't going so well, "string"bean would be the best description. Butterbean? I don't know. Mmm, I love butter.

I danced down in the mancave. Shell claims no responsibility for the mess in the mancave as it is not her personal space.

In my yoga pants. Comfy things, those.

Since, really, you could probably care less about what my high score is, but like to laugh at people making complete fools of themselves, first comes my highlight/outtakes reel. I have no idea why both videos got combined in this first one...I wanted to have two different videos...oh well- my high score is right after the montage.

Yes, you are allowed to laugh. I laugh. It's a good thing to be able to laugh at yourself.

If the videos do not appear for you, refresh the page and they should show up.


Done laughing at me yet?

Really, it's fun to jump around and be silly.

And no, I hadn't had anything to drink.

Though I fool myself into believing that I dance better when I've had a little drink.

My high score for the short version of that song is 10,985: for those of you who found that too painful to watch all the way through.

Are you still laughing at me?

Thankyouverymuch.

I know that there are few brave souls out there who are dancing along with me today. C'mon: your videos can't be any more embarrassing than mine. There's even a very creative gal who decided to play along, even though she doesn't have a Wii! Please go visit these fabulous people!


There IS another dance contest coming...so be prepared!

P.S. I'm updating the buttons on my scrolly-thing:  if you have mine and I don't have yours, please let me know so that I can grab you back!

Thankyouverymuch and Be Prepared for the Dance-off

It's Free Therapy Day!! That's right, it's Thursday, which means it's Thank You Very Much day. The way it works is that you take out all your frustrations on people/things that peeved you off during the week and thank them in a very sarcastic way, for being who or what they are/doing what they did. I know everyone can use some free therapy, so go ahead and type yours out, grab Kmama's button, and then link up over at The Daily Dribbles so that we can all share in each other's therapy.

To my mommies group, for once again being motherbitches and not being excited about my idea of having a Just Dance party. And here I was, trying to make friends again. Thankyouverymuch.


Btw, in case you missed it, the Just Dance video is in yesterday's post. Buy the game or rent it from redbox: a Just Dance bloggy dance-off contest is coming soon! If I can't have my dance party at my house, we'll have it in bloggyland! Start practicing! ♥ Thank you very much! ♥



To Old Navy, for getting my hopes up about fantastic sales, since all clearance stuff was an additional 50% off and I had a $50 off $100 coupon to spend: thankyouverymuch for having about 5 things on the racks that were for my size. I was stuck buying things from you that weren't on sale.

But, ♥ Thank you very much ♥ to The Mommyologist for the Old Navy coupon. I still got some great things! You could have had one of those fabulous coupons, too: you should really follow me on twitter and then you'd have been in the know.

To my little baby Cub, for refusing to stay in your crib or your pack n play because you can climb like a freaking monkey; for causing those glorious hours of naptime to dwindle and for making that super-easy bedtime become a battle: you are only 20 months old. No more climbing. Thankyouverymuch.



To Bear, for deciding that 5 AM is a perfectly acceptable time for you to start your day now: no matter when I send you to bed. Even though it's still pitch black outside. And for doing things like eating ice cream for breakfast if I don't go upstairs with you right away. Really, kid, I have enough problems on the other side of the night with your brother. Enough already. Thankyouverymuch.


♥ Thank you very much ♥ to Monkey for still going to bed easily and not being a morning person.


To Bear's previous early intervention "specialist": I really wish you could have seen the look on his new specialist down here's face when I told her what your diagnosis was. If I'd had a camera, I would have snapped her pic so that it could go in the dictionary right beside the entry for a "WTF face." For all the needless stress and worry you caused me, thankyouverymuch.



To Hubs, for calling to "ask" me if it was okay for him to go to the Carolina basketball game the other day and then saying,"so, you don't have to make dinner tonight": well, thankyouverymuch since I already had dinner cooking in the crockpot and almost done by that point and thankyouverymuch for thinking that you not being here means that they boys and I don't need to eat. Your kids? Your wife? Have you forgotten how cranky we all get if we don't eat?

I have my very first giveaway, coming tomorrow! Please come back and enter! ♥ Thank you very much! ♥

Leave My Shoes Alone: Thank You Very Much!

I just love the excuse to rant that Kmama's Thank You Very Much gives me, so I'm linking up and getting some of my rantings out.



Boys, how about instead of sleeping in on a day when we have to be out the door early, you pick a day when Mommy could actually get a little extra sleep as well? Tomorrow would work for me. Thank you very much.



To Hubs, who invited your friends over at the last minute and expected me to make dinner for everyone. And even though I made blackened chicken cajun alfredo and cream puffs with chocolate pots de creme...all from scratch...you had to ruin it all when YOUR guests were snacking on the spinach artichoke dip (that I bought from the deli) as I was finishing up cooking...the one freaking thing that I didn't make myself...when they said that they liked the dip, you had to sarcastically say, "Made it from scratch." To you, I say thank you very much...and that next time you invite guests over, YOU make dinner.




To my parents, who decided that it was appropriate to discuss Tiger and all his drama in front of my children and pass on their obnoxious racism by teaching Monkey the wonderful saying of "Canaries and blackbirds don't mix," Thank you very much.



Cub, I really appreciate the way that you chose my brand new actually-fit-me-awesome jeans to use as your snot rag. Thank you very much.





And Hubs, yet again, thank you very much for raining on my shoe parade. I decided to try to get some shoes that were more stylish and made me look more put together than always throwing on flip-flops or my ancient Docs. And you see them by the door and ask, "Did your mom leave a pair of her shoes here?" Thank you very much!

They are cute, yes? Or maybe not...I'm not exactly the fashion queen. But these have to be better than my usual flip-flops, right?

I do have a sincere thanks to give those of you who read my post yesterday and gave me wonderful words of support. I do greatly appreciate you and will share more of what is going on when I can.

Thank You Very Much

I had some rants that I wanted to get out and then I found Kmama's Thank You Very Much Thursday, so I'm linking up and getting some of my rantings out!


To my wonderful Hubs, who keeps telling me that we need to pack, but has yet to pack a single damn thing himself. Who thinks it's fine for me to pack when he isn't here, but who sits on his butt watching tv when I am not here instead of packing. That's ever so helpful. Thank you very much.

To Kate of J&K+8, who mentioned in her question show this week that there must be something really wrong with her if she was still wearing sweatpants and t-shirts. My wardrobe and I thank you very much.

Monkey, yes, I know my eyes looks weird and gross. It's called an allergy. Stop yelling that mom is really sick right as we are going into the preschool. Thank you very much.

Bear, Mommy's hair is already a disaster. So, playing with it and hanging on it is not necessary, okay? Thank you very much.

Seriously- since I published this post, Bear came up to me and used my ponytail to wipe his snotty nose. Thank you very much.

Oh, and Hubs, once again...I appreciate you helping out with the laundry by washing loads of clothes that contain just your clothes, but if there is something in the washer, the appropriate thing to do with that is to but it in the dryer, not to throw wet clothes into a laundry basket in the basement and let them sit there and mildew. Thank you very much.

I could probably go on all day long, but our big move is this weekend and we are nowhere near packed yet. I'm sure the move will inspire a whole list of things to be thankful for.
