When my nieces were young my parents bought a teddy bear that would record your voice when you pressed on the belly, and repeat the phrase back. The girls loved to hear the bear say "I love you Jamie!" or "Time to put on PJs!" It was a great way to get them to prepare for bed without the usual whining.
My mother (a life-long, snore denying, tremor source) fell asleep with the bear on her bed. She rolled over on the bear in her sleep. She was actually startled awake by her own snore!
I don't know what happened to the bear. I believe they stopped manufacturing them. Alas, poor ursine, he knew too much. Cement boots? Sleepin' with the fishes? I wouldn't be surprised.
The truth will out in the end. That doesn't mean there aren't consequences. You've got embarassing pictures of the tykes to show their prom dates, right? Insert evil laugh here. Now we wait.....
i am going to have to print out your blogs for future entertainment. i am so old that i can re-read your blogs and laugh like i have just read it for the first time.
From one snorer to another, I had to go and get wired up and had a sleep apnoea test. You should have seen me get up during the night to go to the loo. Wires in one hand, and the other to pull jammies down. Hilarious - NOT! Then I had to go and do a repeat in 2 months. So consider yourself lucky it was just the kids taping you. Although I would love to read of your experience as it would be hilarious. You have such a fantastic way with words. I would to for you to write short stories too. Think about it.
Hey Teeny! Glad to hear you fired a couple of doctors! Kids are so much fun! Our grandson will arrive next week and speand a week with us. I enjoy every minute of having him around! It is hard to get up early! I let him stay up late, so we all can sleep in till 8:30 or later.
I hate it when a gyno has a conversation with the ever present nurse. I always feel left out because I can see them! You were right to fire yours - the creepy factor was off the charts!
I would add "answering cell phone" to the list of things not to do whilst...well, you know. I had a gyno answer her ringing cell phone with that metal thing still just chillin' in there! O.o
I agree with the others, you should write short stories and make people laugh. Ths blog was so good to read and makes you think and then laugh. Have a great weekend and love life. God bless you always.
Another great one! I recently found myself adopted by my cousins 3 daughters. I made it a point to make my home un-kid friendly. (Is it wrong to tell little kids you don't have cartoon channels on your "special" tv?) Congrats on all your successes!
Since I just buried my aunt, neighbor and sister-n-law last week, it was fate that brought me here tonight. Thanks for the laugh! As for the "giggling in the vjayjay"???? I hate when that happens!!!!!!
I have a dog and it sounds like it doesn't matter whether it has 2 or four legs they are all AMBITIOUSLY waiting to wake us up. Including my hubby who likes to wake me up on a sunday morning (the only day I can sleep at least till 7:00 a.m. ) and ask me to make him coffee. The Fricken nerves of him. Thanks for always making me laugh. Wish I could hear that tape
yes, i recieved a video email several weeks ago of you schnoring.....hilarious...have forwarded it all my friends and suggested to mike that he put it up on youtube....*snicker*
lol ... It sounds like your kitty is helping you with your daily push ups. First up 1,2,3, and then down 1,2,3 ... then the other eyelid. Continue to find the joy in your day and keep smiling sunshine.
My darling cat gets ambitious as soon as my head hits the pillow.I swear,some day when my cat is sleeping,I`m going to pester and disturb him all day and keep him awake.
Love it ! Glad to see you're enjoying the kids. Kids can "sometimes" make us feel the joy in life we forget about. Always great to be able to send them back home again though.
As usual, loved your blog. Munchkins are adorable, are they not? I have some!!! :-) I'm glad that you are enjoying them and they you.
Can't have a Doc who flirts with other people while examining you. Hope you don't mind but I'm tagging OCF!!! 2-funny. You are one great story teller!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I laughed my buns off too. Thanks for sharing. I fired my GP doctor 2 years ago. Best. Move. Ever. Glad I'm not the only one that thinks that way. But ew, flirting over the va-jay jay?! Ick.
I so loved this blog. I like the idea of firing the docs, unfortunately for us they already have our money and we cannot get a refund. (they are just like the cell phone companies that tell you there is nothing wrong w/your phone ~ and you must be crazy if you think the calls don't go through between 3 and 7 pm), I digress.
I understand about the snoring thing..my hubby snores so loud the windows have been known to rattle. and of course I never snore. I am sure that is a myth.
Kids can be such stinkers.. It sounds like you enjoy them and they you.
Love it! Kids are magnetically drawn to me, too...and I don't know why. I've never had any tape me snoring or anything like that, though. I always say the best kids are the ones you can give back...but Mike and Kayla sound like fun.
What a wonderful blog and a great sense of humor! Seriously you could write a book after that damn paper! Because I am right there with you on that one! way too overloaded this semester trying to write the hugest paper of my life to have it torn to shreds again and again.
So funny ! I did the same thing with my cell phone and Hubby! Boy can He snore. He was so mad! I used it as his ring tone for months and sent it to my daughter in College down in Atlanta and her friends did all kinds of things wit it! I think he was their mascot for a while. Good thing the kids are little or you would be on utube!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...my cat also awakens me in this way. Determination and a simple plan - good reminder Teeny Queen, be the simple deviousness of munchkins. My dog is Scout, my cat is Bernie. Ah well... You are one amazingly smart woman & well deserving of getting your goals!
You should be a writer. Don't get me wrong, I adore your blogs on Spark, but you have a genuine talent that should be shared with a much larger audience.
Bad Doctor Runner up: You're not allowed to share detailed med school stories of banging your Italian landlord's hot daughter with your teenage intern while you're closely examining my feet.
Also, all pillows are kindly on loan from the furry owners of the house. Appreciate it while you have it.
You are too funny! I must fire a doctor or two myself, and I have also been told that I snore-hmph! I'm thankful that no one has thought to record my noises that I seem to have no control over.
