People amaze me sometimes

And not always in a good way. Por ejemplo (a little Spanish for you this fine afternoon):
 *Yesterday a couple friends and I took our kids to the zoo (they are all one-year-olds). A man pushing his wife in a wheelchair was walking towards us. When he got close enough, he said, "You guys don't honestly think they're going to remember this do you?"
You're right sir, we should just keep our kids locked in their rooms until they are 4 or 5 and can actually remember the things we do with them. Nurturing development is overrated.

*Facebook--the things people say on Facebook never cease to amaze me. First of all, you needn't air your dirty laundry for all the world to see. It's just not necessary and makes you look pretty crazy. Also, please don't be passive aggressive in your statuses. It kinda makes you look like a jerk. The other day, I made a status post about how crazy the girls on this season of The Bachelor are (which is so true, by the way), and not five minutes later a status popped up in my newsfeed that said "There are two kinds of girls. Those who watch The Bachelor and those who don't. I'm proud to be one of the later." Well, first, let me tell you that it's latter and not later, and also....good for you for not watching it, but there are plenty of people who do and you are not better than any of them :o) Then, I noticed another one that said "I just don't know how people have time to watch TV." Yeah, like you are so busy that you can't watch tv, but you have time to be on facebook? OK.  (is this me being passive agressive? I think so, but at least I'm doing it on my own blog. If ya don't want to read it just click the little "x" in the corner).

*Kesha---oh wait, I'm sorry Ke$ha. You see, she is so awesome that her name is spelled with a dollar sign....classy. The mere fact that she is so famous and her songs are so popular makes me lose faith in the future of  the human race. If you don't know who she is, let me illuminate your mind to one of her most popular songs:

Aint got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Aint got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
Now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger

I'm talkin' bout - everybody getting crunk, crunk
Boys tryna touch my junk, junk
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk
Now, now - we goin' til they kick us out, out
Or the police shut us down, down
Police shut us down, down
Po-po shut us - (down)-man

[CHORUS]
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, Ima fight
Till we see the sunlight
TiK ToK, on the clock
But the party don't stop no
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh

?????????

*the show Teen Mom on MTV. Yes, the way to prevent teen pregnancies is to make a bunch of girls who got pregnant at 16 famous! Clearly, whoever thought up this bright idea doesn't know very many teenage girls.


Sorry if that was a little bit "ranty" but it just needed to be said.
On a lighter note, my one-year-old son is rockin' skinny jeans today

He's pretty awesome.

P.S. I don't think I'm going to announce new posts on Facebook anymore because it's probably getting kind of annoying, soooo you should become a follower :o)
kthanks

  5. Nicole, this is hilarious! I was poking around on FB and saw that you started this blog and thought I'd take a peek. So glad I did. It totally put a smile on my face after a tough afternoon with Brady. Obviously, I don't have a husband in medical school but I do have a husband who isn't home a whole lot. He works sometimes 6 days a week from 8-7 so maybe in that way I can relate.

    p.s. Those skinny jeans are so cute! I might just have to get Brady a pair...or two :)

  6. I. Can. Totally. Relate. Your very first post is hilarious to me because at this very second I am distracting myself via the internet for the sole purpose of NOT distracting my studying husband. Who incidentally, is sitting on the couch prepping for boards. How's that for coincidental?

    Possibly more hilarious is your post about waking Weston up in the morning. In high school, whenever a group of us were planning anything on Saturday we would always tell him the event was an hour earlier than it actually was in the hopes that he would be no more than an hour late. Props to you for wanting to have a good attitude about it. :) I think it would probably be good if I were a little more concerned about how naggy I am.

    The length of this comment adds credence to the "I'm busy distracting myself" stance, doesn't it? Anyway, the best of luck finding a good balance of sanity. You seem to be much closer to it than I am!

  9. I only wrote about Teen Mom because I have experience with it :) I've watched it a time or two, but I always end up feeling like I want to raise their children for them so they don't mess them up!

  10. HIlarious! I love that I'm present for most of the things you write about on the blog, but when I'm reading you write about it, I love it even more than when it happened!
