Can’t Get Enough
May 16, 2006
I am the featured mommy over at mommybloggers today.
And to everyone who said such nice things about me, I take it that the bribes arrived to you safely? No? They’ll be there soon. Soon being relative of course considering I can’t seem to make my way to the post office but once a week. Seeing as it requires I leave my house and go a whole half mile away and all.
Thank you for all your kind words. I wish I had something better up today than my floor.
I can give you this little snippet of previously edited out conversation that occurred while I was on my hands and knees cleaning up all the excess grout off the floor:
“You should totally be thankful that you have a wife who does these kind of home improvement projects”
“I am very thankful, though buying this old fixer-upper house was your idea, remember? Now, if you would tile the floor wearing nothing but a thong, that would make me very very thankful.”
“You know, there are some things that are better left to fantasy. Having given birth to seven children, my naked thong wearing body in the glowing fluorescent light that is our kitchen, is one of those things.”

It is all true! You are the best, Chris. I love coming over here.
May 16th, 2006 at 2:06 pmYou know, I think being honored like that is sort of a sneak preview of what your funeral will be like someday.
May 16th, 2006 at 2:44 pmLOL re: the thong. I feel you on that one…the old gal used to rock and roll, but now… I am old.
May 16th, 2006 at 3:41 pmour hubby’s must be somehow related cause mine says stuff like that all the time and my body can totally relate to the answer you gave too. I can sooo relate!

May 16th, 2006 at 10:50 pmCongratulations on the mommy bloggers. Way to go!
May 16th, 2006 at 10:51 pmWhat a great interview! I can remember reading Erma Bombeck in the newspaper when I was a kid. I thought she was funny, but didn’t really get how important it was to be able to laugh when you have kids. Because if I didn’t laugh I might might just cry or lose my mind…or both! Anyway, you have inspired me to start my own blog. (Well, you and Meg!) It is such a wonderful creative release. As well as a way to put some of the crazy stuff that happens everyday in perspective. Thank you for making me laugh, cry and generally not feel so alone. Ashley

May 17th, 2006 at 7:57 amChris, when are you going to collect your posts into a book?
May 17th, 2006 at 9:49 amMy husband wanted to buy a fixer-upper. I was aghast… “Who” I asked “WHO would fix it up???”
Not him, that’s for sure.
As for the floor-cleaning thong dealio… sheesh, those men sure are perceptive, huh? I mean, how else would they know that when we’re on our knees cleaning up gunk on the floor that all we can REALLY think is “I feel so sexy… I wish he’d TAKE ME NOW and ravish my body… Ewwww, baby, do it…”
haha
