Discordant Notes


(This is the Page of Many Statuses. Enjoy it.)




I've come to the conclusion that all of Disney's princess movies do not appeal to young girls' desires to marry into royalty, but rather to one day have singing housewares and animal friends.
My children were putting away their clothes. Lily put a pair of socks in her underwear and said, "I've got a penis." Samantha then grabbed a pair of John's socks and said, "I've got a bigger one." Hilarity ensued. They're still upstairs putting stuff in their drawers and laughing like loons.
I'm feeling really lucky after breaking a knife in two trying to fold it with the tombstone pizza cardboard. I can just see the headline: Frozen Pizza Kills.
Is the song Tainted Love about anal sex?
Madison is having fun toying with the Stonebridge Life Insurance telemarketers that call here. "Can I speak with Erika Hancock?" "NO." "Okay, I'll call back another time." "NO, DON'T." "Um, what?" "EVER!" "*click*"
How did my child receive a Mastercard in the mail? She's ten!
I cut the frak out of my finger today because I put so much of myself into my work. If you look really closely, you can find the pieces.
"Mom! Buy a flyswatter!" "Why would I buy a flyswatter, when we have a perfectly good subscription to the paper?"
So, John and I were just outside chatting and he pulled up a chair for me, but the garden hose was impeding his progress. "Well, pull that hose outta there," he said. *snicker* *giggle*
I've joined (not defecting yet) Google+. I think I can recruit more people to my army of spork-wielding people pokers if I cover more bandwidth.
Why am I awake? Because I had a thirsty and a 'hafta pee and you needed to know about it. You are welcome.
Madison: THERE'S ONLY ONE MARSHMALLOW LEFT?!?! *grrrr* *stomp stomp slam*
Okay, who made kissy marks all over my mirror?
Be kind and courteous to everyone you meet but have a plan to kill them quickly if necessary.
We are Bjorn Borg: All your underwear are belong to us.
Lily says to me from 6 feet away, "Can you throw me the poopy?" "WHAT??" "I said can you hand me a pooper" "I'm sorry, Lily. I don't have any hearing aids in yet. What did you say?" "Can. You. Get. Me. Some. Paper."
And that's how deaf I really am.
Sam: "MOM! Six words: MY. SHOES. ARE. IN. THE. POOL."
There I was at Wal*Mart, with no phone or camera on my person, helplessly watching the woman in front of me saunter away. All the while, the back of her shirt is screaming at me...and mocking: "This Is Beaver Town!" FML.
All three cats were out on the porch. Zoe looked longingly at the outside through the screen. Frank meowed at the door, terrified and begging to come inside. Phoebe put her butt in front of Frank, daring him to smell it.
In honor of her 10th birthday, Lily has agreed to let us recreate the moment of her birth: "IT'S A GIRL!" "It's a what?! Lemme see that! Hey, it IS a girl!!!"
Lake Superior is just a lake in need of an attitude adjustment.
I have a dreamer. Sam just asked me to play The Last Unicorn song off my playlist and headed immediately into the bathroom to be alone with the lyrics.
Mephistopheles is not my name.
To the makers of Cymbalta: If you have to spend an entire 90 second spot trying to hypnotize me with random people grinning at the camera while a model lists every possible side effect, I'm pretty sure I don't want your drug.
What is Ottoman's superpower?
We are without power and I want coffee and a computer. Strike that. I NEED coffee and a computer. Now.
Deaf Awareness Lesson of the day: LIPreaders read LIPS. You know, LIPS? They're those things on the front of your face that you're flapping madly as you walk away from me.
Whomever thought that I'd be more productive without my computer didn't count on me having this awesome phone.
"Sam, you couldn't have washed that fast. Let me see your hands... *sniff* They still smell like chocolate! You didn't wash them, did you?"   "Well, I LICKED them."
Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey are singing Easy Lover on my playlist and I had such a strong flashback to 1985 that I swear I could smell Coppertone and Fla-Vor-Ice Popsicles.
Don't bother me. I'm blogging.
So I had this dream last night that a friend had a baby. It seems that it wasn't exactly premature, but it was very VERY small (like one whole pound at the most) and because it was healthy and strong (as strong as a one pound figment of my subconscious can be) they sent my friend home with it.
In a hamster ball.
Dear Senior Sitting In The Passenger Seat With Your Hand Over Your Mouth And Nose While Your Husband Smokes A Cigar With The Windows Closed,
I'm sorry you married an asshole.  I'm even sorrier that you can't work your window.
Why do I choose to use my powers for good and not evil?
Did you know that 3,092 people on Facebook LIKED Herpes? True story.
Can I get some plastic bags with "You have been saved" on them? I don't want to get my Rapture loot confused with the rest of my crap.
I haven't had a knuckle sandwich since 1984.
If i had meant to hit you in the face with the batteries I would have thrown them overhand.
In translating Tween-speak, I've learned that "Yeah, bye" means "I love you too, oh beloved mother of mine". Thought I'd share.
I'm about ready to kill my dog today as he is suffering from some kind of Shitallovermyflooritis.  He's kenneled in the kitchen until further notice. Dumb dog.
I'm going to make a narwhal profile and poke all my friends.
The timing in this next exchange is very important. Samantha doesn't miss a beat.  John: "What would you do with a million dollars?" Sam: "SWIM IN IT." John: "I'll rephrase. What would you spend a million dollars on?" "CANDY."
Today seems like a good day to Google myself.
May is National Masturbation Month. I can't make this shit up, people.
When I die, I want to be taxidermied in bear-attack position.
Thank you, my children, for providing me with interesting status material every day.
Frank is in the living room talking to nobody. He meows in such a way that makes it almost sound like he's saying hello. *mrow-roww* *mrow-roww*
Lily just handed me a plastic Easter egg. "It's empty" I said. "Nuh-uh" says Lily. "I burped in it."
It's painful to watch this mother chase her son around the soccer complex while she tries to watch her older son's game. I think she may kill him soon.
Watched Inception last night. Now I'm wondering if I'm really awake.
Voice from upstairs bathroom: I! NEED! TOILETPAPERRRRRRR!
I can operate my phone with my nose. If I ever lose mobility in both arms and feet, I'd still be able to text you nonsensical blatherings. I hope this is a comfort to all.
Dear Kitty Who Falls Asleep In My Waterglass, when you snort water up your nose you sneeze it right back out again. I'm getting a new glass. Freak.
Well, that's quite a storm rolling in. It's electric! *wakka wakka wakka wakka*
Sam comes into the kitchen: "Mom! Did you fix my whoopie cushion??" *embarrassed* "No..." "Oh. Well then that was AWESOME."
To the asshat woman who flicked her cigarette onto my windshield after I waved you to go first: You'll be happy to know that I came home and immediately wrote you into my status bar, still smelling the smoke and burning rubber of my wiper blade, instead of running your ass down in my van. Next time you won't be so lucky.
To Madison: "Madison, you have to get these dishes done." "But, MOM, I have to go outside and show off my bacon!" Apparently we flaunt our meat byproducts in front of the neighbor folks.
"Look, I understand too little too late. I realize there are things you say and do
you can never take back. But what would you be if you didn't even try? You have to try. So after a lot of thought, I'd like to reconsider. Please, if it's not too late...make it a cheeeeese...burger."
Eating my crazy flakes today.
♫ Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there...with free liposuction and a boob job!
John is on his way to contest a traffic ticket. It's going to be tough for him not to channel Arthur Kirkland and claim that the entire courtroom is out of order.
I am your worst nightmare. Wait, that's too ambitious. I'm more like your third worst nightmare. You know the one that you don't really want to wake up from because while it's a little scary, it's also kind of cool? Yeah, that one.
I'd like to be bi-winning.
I enjoy hearing Brinkley's Mr. Bill toy scream "OH, NOOOOOOO" when he picks him up.
I was called into the living room just in time to witness two little neighbor boys marking their territory all over the foundation of the house across the street. And they make fun of ladies for going in pairs...
John: "Hey, Riki. Two things. One - I love you. Two - Dinner's not gonna make itself."
Grumpy Samantha is funneh. "Sam, it's time to get upstairs for bed." "I. AM. WIPING!" "Oh, I didn't realize. Goodnight, honey." "Don't. SMILE. AT. MEEEE." *covering smile poorly* "I wouldn't dream of it." "GOOD. NITE!" "G'night, hon." *STOMP STOMP STOMP*
I find it sad that I live in a world where Carrot Top is considered funny and sadder that he's in an ad on my screen not once, but TWICE.
"My name is John Johnson. But everyone here calls me Vickie."
I wish to someday live in a world where a chicken can cross the road without his intentions being constantly questioned.
IMPORTANT. Tomorrow Facebook will change its settings to allow zombies to come into your house while you sleep and eat your brains with a sharpened spoon. To stop this from happening go to Accounts / Home Invasion Settings / Cannibalism / Brains and un-check the "Tasty" box. Please copy and re-post.
Dear children, The title of Mommy's Favorite is once again up for grabs on Saturday. Who will be victorious? (Please submit your promises of housework and general mommy pampering in writing by Friday evening.)
It's so much more impressive to tell you we got 33cm of snow, isn't it?
I want to throw my kids into the snow and yell "Marco!"
Samantha is very helpful when she's ill. She's telling the cat not to step on the baking soda on the floor and alerting anyone who comes within five feet of her that she has a fever.
Correction: Samantha becomes Captain Obvious when she's ill. We just took the girls to school and upon reaching the steps at home, turned around, looked at her footprints in the snow and said, incredulously, "Those are my footprints."
I'm moody and pissy. If I happen to lose my head and say something unintentionally offensive to any of you today, please forgive me. kthxbai.
Funny. When I tell the kids to shut off the water in the bathroom, they do it. When I tell the dog, his ears perk up for a second and then he farts and puts his head down, looking embarrassed that he's so utterly useless.
 
Samantha held out her hand and said to Lily "Smell this."
Lily: "Ew, what's THAT?!"
Sam: "My butt."
If the slower two-thirds of my spawn does not move faster in preparing for school, the last third of the spawn WILL kill them both. I'm worried about my carpets.
EXPELLED! Six years ago this morning I was on my way to the hospital. Duran Duran's New Moon On Monday was playing on the radio. I found it cosmic in that it was a Monday (MLK Day, in fact) and a small nekkid person would be bursting forth from my nether regions.

Today is the sixth anniversary of Samantha's expulsion from my uterus.
Frank's meow sounds like one of my children whining "Momma", and if you don't reply to him immediately he meows LOUDER and LOUDERRR. Attention whore.
Conversations With Madison: "Madison, when I come to lunch with you at school..." Madison interrupts: "You can't." Me: "Really, I can't?" "Well, I dunno. But don't." (*giggle* Oh, I am SOOOO GONNA!)
I am of the opinion that Samantha's stick horse should be saddled with the name Elmer. She wants to name him Boobies. What do you think?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck was Chuck Norris?
Me: "Madison, are you eating gum off the paper?" Madison: "No, I had gum, but then I was eating paper and it got stuck."
Madison is licking Pop Rocks off the desk. *spitooey* "That's not a Pop Rock!"
These pretzels are making me thirsty.
"This year I resolve to use only padded, satin hangers" Joan Crawford, 1955
I resolve to stop making New Year's Resolutions. I really think this is my year...
Text from Madison: "Mom, you need to pick me up at 10:31." I guess we'll need to synchronize our watches for this...
I'm considering leaving the tree up and putting the kids in a box in the basement. Thoughts?
I am not afraid to admit that I named my child after a mermaid.
I served refried beans with the Christmas tacos last night, making GAS my gift to everyone. Happy pooting, family!
♫ Frosty the Snowman, was infected with Solanum, he was made of snow but the children know how he was reanimated and ate their brains. ♫
When you're putting a second coat of white on a headboard, close the door to the room so the black kitteh in your house doesn't get the idea to impersonate Pepé Le Pew's feline love interest. *le mew* *le purrr* Le white stripe on your fur, dimwit!
The coffee is hot and fresh. Just like me.
I came to the conclusion that I will no longer listen to holiday songs that purposely and relentlessly tug on people's heartstrings until they force their victim into an involuntary orgasm of the tear ducts. Screw you, Christmas Shoes!
What off-color humor can I spew today that will make my friends want to forget they know me?
What off-color humor can I spew today that will make my friends want to forget they know me?
Someone please get Weekend In New England out of my head.
Interesting
discovery: If you want to annoy the snot out of an eleven year old
girl, start singing Superstar on the ride to school. ♫ Loooong agoooo....♫
There's a new blog entry. I think it's gonna get me an award...for not killing my children. :)
Don't blow a gasket.

Dear Santa, Please bring me a jetpack for Christmas.
How old do kids have to be to figure out how to use gravity to their benefit? The mustard is in the fridge upside down for a reason. Leave it alone, little dingleberries!
Woke up to the smell of coffee brewing and wondered if a Volkswagon Bug

my head.

It don't take money, don't take fame, don't need no credit card to ride this train, what is it?
Maddie: Sam, if you put your ear up to my butt you can hear the ocean.
I'm going to go into a fitting room at Wal-Mart, shut the door and after a few minutes, loudly yell, "There's no toilet paper in here!"
Sam: "I can see our house from here!" Lily: "We're in the driveway, Sam."
Ah, the sound of a house full of estrogen...*stomp stomp* *SLAM*
Dear dinner dishes, F*ck off.
I hate my kitchen I hate my kitchen I hate my kitchen I hate my kitchen I hate my kitchen I hate my kitchen I hate my kitchen I hate my kitchen I hate my kitchen I hate my kitchen...
The holiday season is rapidly approaching and lines are already long. Makes me kick myself for still not submitting that idea I had for Human Dominoes. Anne Marie, come kick my butt, please.
Kids overheard wrestling in basement: "GET OFFA ME! YOUR HAND'S IN MY BUTT!"
These are my crime-fighting culottes and my poncho of peace. I am superhero.

I have a magic pimple. No, seriously. It's in a new spot every few days. I think it's migrating.
Shove off. I'm sleeping.
Okay, I give up. Where's Waldo?
Do I strike you as someone who would ever be terribly serious? To my fault, I do sometimes forget to put the little winking emoticon to denote my sarcasm. Ah, there he is: ;)

Dragon Speech Recognition Software is only 74.99 right now. Is that a decent deal? I've never needed a dragon translator before. Who doesn't get that *rawr* + *fire* = "get the hell outta my face"?
Who wants to see my Mr. Hanky replica? I made it myself.
After discovering that the fake blood I tried to make won't dry on skin, I decided to break down and buy some for Madison. John's reaction to this frivolous purchase is, "Well, you know you can't ever have too much fake blood." Awesome.
Sam sits on the toilet writing poetry. "I grew a beard! I grew a beard! This is really weird! I grew a beard, I grew a beard! This is really WEIRD!!"
Me: "Samantha, I want you to help clear the table." Sam: "Do you mean you want me to take out the cylinders and rectangular prisms?"
I'd like two pickets to Tittsburgh.
So that Bella Swan? She's really just a self-absorbed little whiner, isn't she?

Today was full of discoveries. I found out I can't hear what it sounds like when doves cry.
I'm no longer young and limber enough to Tumble For Ya.
I'm sure you've noticed that most of my status reports are lyrics that got stuck in my head. Those of you who know me well are aware of my tendency to break into song.
Will Wil Wheaton ever knows just what he means to me?
I'm thinking of creating a website for the allergy-prone and calling it YaChoo. Might even be able to use the jingle Yahoo provided. Need backers.
Wondering if this will be the soccer season when I finally spot the elusive Snuggie-Clad family. They're out there. Somewhere.
Soccer Saturday! Two kids with games out in the frozen tundra of the soccer complex. If I do find any snuggie peoples, I may infiltrate their wraps.
In case my computer goes to the techno-doctor today, I think I want this to be the last thing I say to my Facebook Minions: Corn Nuts.
When you are awakened at 6:30 to leave for school by 7:45 and you choose to lie in bed another 30 minutes before finally heading downstairs, rushing around like a lunatic and complaining that your hair won't do what you want it to before running out the door without a coat on in 30 degree weather, the car will wait exactly 60 seconds for you to grab a jacket before it leaves your tardy butt home.
*turns from pot on the stove* There. I'm not looking. Do your thing.
You should see the look on my kids' faces when I tell them I feel the urge to do the Sun Drop Boogie.
Samantha announces that she farted...then goes on to tell me that it smells like pizza and cake and rainbows. How to I break it to her?
We're all sickos at heart. People often deny themselves that inner sicko and you know what happens? Needlepoint happens. Tissue box covers done in needlepoint....with skirts.
Scary.
"Samantha, what did you get all over your pants?" "Spit an' dirt." Winning.
Sam: I think I know all the flavors of these gumballs. Purple is grape, Green is lime, Orange is orange, Red is Strawberry...and White is snowflake...
So much to clean and so few children to make clean it...
John regarding Diane Lane in skincare ad last night, (without missing a beat)... "Hey, that's whatshername![pause] What's her name?"

I'm bringing back the Banana Clip in a big way.
Stuff in my fridge: salmonella-y eggs, dill pickles and muenster cheese.
Poor Samantha. She claims that a bone FELL OUT of her knee while jumping on the neighbor's trampoline. "Where did it go?" I ask. "I just TOLD you, Mom. It fell OUT." "Oh."
Apparently guys do make passes at girls who wear glasses...and random strangers on FB do, too.
I feel the need to alliterate: Smelly Shelley smells so smelly.
School registration forms don't have language selection boxes for Pig Latin, Gibberish and Klingon? That seems unfair, doesn't it?

I braided Gidget's hair in my dream last night while singing Everybody Is Kung Fu Fighting.
I'm up. It's o'dark early. Strong storm brewin'. You know, as soon as the tree is taken down, I can go back to loving thunderstorms. Please don't kill me, Tree.
Three girls were dirty. Showers for all. Now we have three clean girls and a very dirty bathroom.
The house is suddenly very quiet with only my three here. I think they're too pooped to peep.

Woke up this morning in the I'm A Little Teapot pose. What was I DOING in my sleep?
I don't enjoy being technically difficult.
Dropped Sugar Daddy off at airport. Yelled "Bye, Jack!!" loudly.

I do believe I'll invent my own religion today. Who wants to be converted?

This morning, I learned that vitamin D and popcorn kernels look nearly the same when you drop them on the floor.
Storms are awesome. Except when they make trees land on your neighbor. Unless you don't like that neighbor.
It's hot and wet. Humidity is a horrible horrible, awful, evil, monstrously wretched thing. And it's only 84 today. Feels like I'm in Satan's armpit.
Children, you may go to bed at any time. Now, for example.
How long do I string up children that push the envelope? Is there a proper knot for this? I don't want them to wiggle out.

I brake for babies.
Lily says, "If I had three wishes, I'd wish for 1: to be rich, 2: to be able to breathe under water and 4: to be able to fly."
Mah pool is green. I suspect it's jealous of me.
Madison's joke: First Baby Cow asks Mama Cow, "Why did you name me Daisy?" Mama Cow says,"Because when you were born a daisy petal fell on your head." Second Baby Cow says, "Why did you name me Rose?" Mama Cow says, "Because when you were born a rose petal fell on your head." Third Baby Cow says, "Durr...*pbbbblltt*...DOI!" Mama Cow says, "Shut up, Cinderblock!"
Last night's dream included Marshall Mathers III giving me a Nikon Macro-focus camera that could capture pictures of the moon and asteroids between Earth and that glow-y orb. Oh, and Lubriphonic was playing in what was supposed to be my pantry. Bizarre.
Dingoes eat babies. It's a fact.
Went to bed early last night and dreamed that I tamed an unfriendly Great Dane named Duke, hung out in auto shop with cartoon versions of the T-Birds and fed cattle a bizarre-looking salt-lick with a non-cartoon version of Temple Grandin. I want a do-over.

I am sorry to have offended the Facebook gods and thankful that they are letting me view my messages again.
If you want to watch your children dissolve into fits of laughter, have a discussion about poop.
Apparently it's impolite to play connect the age spots on the elderly.
Last day of school for the spawn. If they ever get out of bed, they're going to be super-excited.
May I offer you a backhanded compliment today?
According to this morning's spam, I can date single people in my area, increase the size of my wangdoodle and receive retirement benefits. Um...awesome?

Sam, this morning: "MO-OM! You woke me up! I didn't even have a chance to sleep, and I was REALLY TIRED!" This, after 8 hours of slumber. Whatever, kiddo. Get up.
I so love getting arguing children ready for church against their will. Happy Easter everyone.

Look, man. I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!
Madison just helped me discover that the version of Too Shy I was be-bopping to was actually in GERMAN. Playlist FAIL by Riki.

Sam: Mommy, we're not Chinese anymore. Me: Honey, we've never BEEN Chinese.
And the winter storm enters the radar screen to the Theme from Shaft. Now THAT'S one cool storm.
Children of mine, you are too loud this morning. Kindly shut it.
Complaining about your financial woes while wearing honking big diamond earrings doesn't make me sympathetic to your plight. FAIL.
Playing "Chopsticks" faster and louder does NOT make it more enjoyable, Madison.
Good news! We don't have to kill Samantha! I learned that a pencil eraser takes ballpoint pen off a 40 inch flat-screen television! Congratulations, youngest spawn, you got yourself a reprieve.
"Mom, do we have any grapefruit?" "Yes, they're in the fridge. Do you want me to cut it?" "No, we don't want to EAT them." (WTH? I don't want to know.)
Sam: "Mom? I think for dinner tonight I should have Cookie...Cotton Candy...Cookie...Cotton Candy...Cookie...Cotton Candy..."
What does it mean when your dog smells his fresh pile of doodie and then runs away like he's deathly afraid of it?
