Thinking I am a very conscientious parent, I have curbed my swearing and cuss words down to a minimal two words. G*# D@M. Yes that is the one that I use all the time....because I don't consider the word "freaking" a swear. So, I stub my toe, I say ouch, holy crap or something like that mildly resembles a swear but when I am angry I bring out the ugly GD one. So, Trent is at the stage where he is trying to push my buttons. He knows by the end of the day when it is time for bed I am beat...I get to my room and I have no energy for fighting or temper tantrums. He knows that if he gets ready early enough he can watch a movie in my bed...well, it was a school night and he was being a pesky child and getting up and down and pushing the limits and I yell...you better get in that GD bed!!! End of story...that was about a month ago.
I never realized that my son had elephant genetics in him...his memory is amazing!
So the other night, I am tired as usual, and it is getting late and he needs to be in bed. Don't 3 year olds know that a mother needs her beauty sleep!!!!
So....he is being a pesky child again and I quietly and calmly say...little man you best be in that bed...and without missing a beat, he yells back...I am in my GD bed!! I was stunned...then I burst out laughing...thank goodness he did not see me.
Of course I make the mistake of telling my husband, TC that our little angel knows how to cuss correctly..and using it in the proper context no less! Of course, I get you know, this is all your fault. Ahhhh ya no kidding...I am home with him more! Dur!
So it gets better...on the way home from Best Buy we purchase a movie he is eager to watch..we are about 20 minutes from the house and he is demanding to watch his movie..I tell him that he has to wait until we get home...well he blurts out....I want to watch my freaking GD movie!!!
Mouth open and in shock, I look over at my husband who I am waiting for him to freak out...just starts laughing...I thought I was off the hook...until he says...you know this is your fault!!!!
All I say is...Dur!

Maybe I am germ phobic!
As you know the majority of germs are bad for you. Having a sick kid at home just reinforces my so called fear of germs...I am not a nut that wears gloves or a mask but I do constantly wash my hands and I do have a full supply of Purell at arms reach at all times.
My gripe or complaint is to the folks out there who are oblivious to the fact that they are spreading germs and viruses...which can be prevented!!!
I am in CVS the other day going to pick up Motrin for my sick little boy and Tylenol for my dad who was just diagnosed with lymphoma. So both of them have a "bug" and I am on a mission for the wonder drug that will make them both comfortable. While I am in my car admiring all my wonderful coupons that were generated from CVS because I am a frequent customer there and I use my trusted CVS card...I noticed a little man lifting the lid to the trash can. I have no problem with folks who want to go through the trash for hidden treasure as long as they leave things the way they were when they found them. I am on of those nice recyclers that even separated the refund cans and bottles outside of my trash so they don't have to rifle through the dirty trash! I know they appreciate it because they are neat and clean! Anyway...I sit and watch this man paw through the can...selecting his treasure for refunds. Good for him he will get some money for all of this hard work. But as he neatly replaces the lid (thank you) he is not wearing gloves or anything. He proceeds to go into the store touching door handles, products and so forth. I am mortified!!!! This goes for the people that sneeze on the stuff in the stores when you have on a jacket and sneezing into a sleeve is just as easy as sneezing onto the fresh produce at Stop and Shop!!! PEOPLE COLD AND FLU SEASON IS IN FULL FORCE!!!!!
So as I look down at my chapped, dry hands from over washing and Purelling the crap out of them.....I applaud myself for stopping the germ from going past me. Besides..they wont be chapped much longer...spring is coming....right????
