Silence!

I have been working my ass off lately. That is not good, considering I don't have much of an ass to work off in the first place. I have no time to blog, read your lovely/crappy blogs, or take potty breaks. However, Chicken takes every single opportunity he has when we are together to talk, talk, talk, OMG please just for a second STOP TALKING! Don't get me wrong, I love talking to my son. But sometimes, he just babbles on and on and on about nothing and I am wondering who I have to call in order to be committed. Not for a long time, just a year or two would probably do the trick. By that time, he will be at the age where he doesn't want to talk to me. I can dream, can't I?

So Chicken is doing a project on Tide Pools in California. This project includes a poster board, a map, pictures and a speech. I get stuck with a horrid trip to Walmart to buy poster board. Have I mentioned that I hate that place? I would have gone to Michael's, but Walmart was on the way between my client's house and my house. I was in my work clothes and Holy Fuck why do you people have to stare at me like I'm the only person EVER IN THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD to wear a suit in Walmart? No, you cannot undress me with your eyes. Do not smile at me in a manner that suggests you are in the process of mentally slipping off my panties. Oh, and Mr. Walmart employee that I had to question about the Xbox 360-- growing your hair longer does not hide the fact that you are going very bald. Your greasy hair strewn across your pink scalp grosses me out. A lot. By the way, "a lot" is TWO words. I just needed to say that.

On to what got me to finally take a second and blog... Chicken was babbling. I finally told him that if he didn't keep quiet for five minutes he was going to do his project in his room. He babbled. I glared and said "SILENCE" in my sternest mommy voice. I'm really scary when I'm stern. Chicken was so terrified that he started to sing. I gave him the WHAT THE FUCK look and he grinned. "You said silence, so I'm singing Silent Night" Chicken explains. Oh my God. This is definitely my child.

OMG. I love this kid. Can I have him? Just for the night. And no Michael Jackson stuff. Just to watch that kinda sarcasm grow in such a young mind... it's beautiful.

Oh, as for the 'a lot' thing - nice of you to notice. That and 'all right' always seem to trip people up.

yep the yep the yep...

I have three (yes 3!) very extrovert kids. 8, 6 and 4 years old. Now me and hubby are quite talkative but I like my quiet time as well. Like? "cherish" is more the correct term here.

The youngest one wasn't catching up with the (understandable) talking but oh my, noe here he goes: yada yada. Endless neverending discussions amongst each other.
AAAARRRRGHGGHHGGGH!!!!!
shut up!!!!!

Huh, feels so nice to express my feelings on paper/screen.

Love them to death, don't get me wrong, but all the repeated (not so) silly jokes can get on my nerves at times.
oh well....
First you can't wait to get them talking now they don't quit....

I always get the "what the fuck" look from people. I give them back the "what the fuck, fucker!" look back.

If at all possible, I only go to Wally world late, late at night. Fewer people make it a little more tolerable.

Least he didn't start the chicken dance. God I f'ing hate Walmart! Everytime i go there someone runs into me (and I means runs)with a cart. **note** 'and I means runs' is Walmart speak. The place can be empty and no matter where i stand or walk some evil person is bound to crash into me and don't even get me started on the cashiers there. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I love reading your blog. I think the combination of what your cute boy says and the way you write them is a winning combination!

My girlfriend's six year old daughter said she didn't like spicy food, and I told her that I didn't like it at her age either, but one day she probably will. She insisted that she wouldn't, so I said I'd remind her what she said when she got older and was eating salsa or something and she'd be embarrassed. She stared right through me and said "If you ever embarrass me, I'll kill you." That was just plain creepy. Crap, I hope she never reads this!

By the way, I found your blog while looking for information on what happened to madman. All I know is that DG found out about his site and it was taking down. I heard he got fired because of it, but I also heard he was almost fired, so I've been trying to see if anyone had any new information.

Anna- You can have him any time, like uh.. tomorrow? I need him back by October 18th, though, for his bday.

Kat- I'm sorry/um congrats? Parenting is so wonderful/crazy making.

Aughra- I have to return a couple of things that Chicken didn't need for school, then I'm swearing it off. Forever.

DD-Alright. Just kidding. The joke is always on me in this household. If it isn't Chicken, it's H3.2. They drive me crazy. I love it.

Money- Yep, but you can tell me over and over...

Esther- Try the one in Poway. Mullets and rednecks like you rarely get to see in the rest of San Diego. It's like traveling to another state. About the jokes- puns. I hate 'em now. And knock-knock jokes. Please, please stop!! (not you, the kid!)

Johnny- I don't do that very well when I'm in work mode. And I'm just so cute that people don't take it seriously unless I open my mouth and I'm wearing my "I hate people" clothes.

Lejnd- I did that during the summer, and I loved it. But with Chicken home, I can't exactly leave him or pull him out of bed at midnight to go to Walmart.

Art- Sorry I got you all excited!!

Nessa- *grins* Thank you!

Dancinfairy- And a big THANK YOU to you also!

John- Your girlfriend's daughter rocks! I sent you an email about Madman.

Corinna- Chicken has the same prob. And H3.2 is chomping at the bit about the xbox 360. I couldn't care less. I suck.

Relate to calling around to get committed, but they will not let me smoke, drink alcohol, administer my own drugs as much and as many as I want, no computers, no big screen tv's, and a tons of other stupid rules....so now I am scratching my head.

Oh yeah, I hate fucking Walmarts!!

Hilarious Post Sam loved it!!
