Caffeinated Randomness

F.R.I.D.A.Y.'S.......
FuNNy, OdD and BiZaRRe things...

*Why does the pluggy always end up behind the crib by the wall? Why isn't it ever in front of the crib in the wide open room?

*My 9 month old had the strangest rash last week. It popped up 5 hours after we left the Ped's office for her 9 month 'Well Baby Check'. So back we went the following morning to hear,
"Wow, that is IMPRESSIVE." Yes, Doc I know. It is all over her and growing! What is it????? Turns out it was the way her body was reacting to a virus she caught. There was nothing we could do but wait it out. Thankfully, Sunday morning she woke up and the red, blotchy, hive looking patches all over her body were gone!

*Do ya' ever wonder why
there is a record (in the Guinness Book of World Records) for 'Fastest person to eat a 12" pizza'. One minute 45.37 seconds. Or WHY 32,681 people in India would gather to set a record for the 'Largest Tea Party'. Seriously, don't these people have better things to do.

*I told my 3 year old, many cold months ago, 'when the flowers grow and bloom we will be able to go swimming'. Guess what, she hasn't forgotten, and my flowers are blooming... bad deal for me. My solution, they aren't flowers. Nope, they are tulips, snowball bushes, and daffodils. Hey, at least it's buying me a little time!

*
Why does the baby always wait until we are running late and dashing out the door to have a blow out? Just how does she know???

*Did you know a large shake at McDonald's will set you back 1100 calories? I think I'll be sticking to the cone.

*E
lectric toothbrushes and mechanical pencils; my kids think they are very cool. Oh the simple pleasures of life...

*Real conversation with my 7 year old...
'What's for dinner mom?'
'I didn't make dinner, instead I made 17 dozen cookies.'
'Oh good, then we get cookies for dinner! Right?'
'Uh, No.'
But inside I was really thinking, Yes, YEs, YES!! I'd love to have cookies for dinner too!!

I do wonder about the time people use to set those crazy world records!

Geez... 1100 calories in a drink... yikes!

No problem substituting cookies for dinner! LOL

Oh, your randomness gives me so much laughter! Thank you, thank you!! I have had the same thoughts about pacies always behind the crib and blowouts badly timed. Hahaha! If you watch your kids you are reminded of all sorts of simple pleasures...so grab yourself a mechanical pencil and be happy!!!

Yum cookies for dinner. Sounds delish ;) I bet it would have been a dream come true...for both.

I too always wonder about those records. It's strange.

No more shakes from McD's for me....I did have a small one a few weeks ago instead of a meal...there is something about the odd taste of their milkshakes......

I am glad your daughter is better! Poor girl....rashes are the worst.

Have a great weekend Annika!

I have often wondered about the blow out affect. It's one of the Murphy Laws that make me so......You know!

Cookies for dinner would be so awesome - and just think of how happy our kids would be (and hyper...hmmm. Maybe not so awesome! haha!)
