I have finally decided what I want for mother's day. I figure it really isn't to early to start dropping hints, especially when on the day of my birthday I dropped a hint about noon asking my husband "Do you have anything to say to me?" His response "I'm sorry?". Good shot in the dark schnookums.
I want one of these...
and one of these...
and yes, I am being greedy. I also want one of these...
I would have them all installed in my kitchen and then I could speak into the mic and call out "number 69, number 69, does anyone have number 69?" and when my spouse or one of my children holds up their number, it will be their turn to complain or walk all over me. Okay, it really isn't that bad, but I have considered going on strike a couple of times. It must be what they call the "new math" at school. One mother is equal to cleaning up at 5 other human beings. I am not complaing. I actually think it would be pretty funny. But I also thought it would be funny to buy a whole fish from Pike Place market and put it in my ditch out front. Then when I was waiting for Sidney's bus and someone was passing in a car, I could look down in the ditch like something caught my attention, jump in and pull out a giant salmon. I would then flop it around like it was alive. Wouldn't that be funny.
Just so you know, I come from a long line of people with odd sense of humor.

Wow. I can really relate to that one. Every once in a while I have my nervous breakdown, at which time all my teenagers get the - "I'm one person, and can't pick up after EVERYONE" lecture. Then...things get better for a while....until my next melt down. Ahh..isn't being a mom great?
