Five Question Friday! 5/27/11

Warning...this may get goofy. Or, it may get extremely boring and mundane. I'm tired. It's late and my nose is stuffy.

I have no idea what that has to do with anything, but there it is.

In other news, I bought some bug repellent today. Again, I have no idea what that has to do with the price of rice in China. But there it is.

What IS the price of rice in China, anyway?

Okay, before I totally run out of steam and fall asleep, drooling on my keyboard, let's get this 5QF party started!

--------------------------------------

1. Do you apologize to your kids?

I do! If it is deserved, then yes, I do.

And, some days, I find myself apologizing a lot more than others, you know? Those are usually the days that I'd like to rip my "Mom" name tag off and trade it in for one that says, "FAIL", 'cuz usually I'm an irritable, cranky, sorry excuse for a mom at those times.

2. What color are your nails right now?

Skin.

Nope, not some new, fancy, schmancy Essie or O.P.I color, just plain ol' skin colored.

See, I have this job thing? You know, wherein I report to work and help women become mamas? Yeah, that one.

Well, I can't wear polish to work. Au natural is the only way. But you know what? I'm totally okay with that.

I can hardly keep up with the polish on my toes, and at least I can cover those up! My fingers? Not so much.

3. When you were growing up, how difficult was it for you to stay home from school sick? (As in, did you have to vomit or just say "I don't feel good".)

My mama was pretty cool. I usually never had to feign illness, 'cuz just when it got to be about the time that I needed to have a day off, she'd let me have a mental health day.

Only, it was before "mental health days"...back when I'd just call her and be all, "But, mo-om, it's SO nice outside!" And she'd be all, "Okay, I'll pick you up but you have to help me wash windows." And I'd be all, "Fo shiz!!" Only, it was also before the "fo shiz" days, so really I was more like, "Totally tubular, dude! That's, like, AWE-some! You're like SO cool mom, now if only I could get you to tight roll your pants..."

And then she'd be all, "huh?"

4. When is the last time you bought a new comforter for your bed?

Hmmmm...a year or 5 ago. I'm not really sure.

I remember buying it. But, I can NOT remember when. Usually, I judge "when" by which child I was pregnant with, but I can't even recall that.

Which isn't surprising when I have things like, "I wonder how they get Dippin' Dots to stay separated?" and "Why did God invent mosquitos?" and "Why do Doritos taste so ridiculously delicious?" running through my head.

5. Favorite website(s)?

Well, I just recently "discovered" (and by "discovered" I totally mean that in a Christopher Columbus "I saw it first, but really, there was an entire population that discovered it before me" way) damnyouautocorrect.com.

I'm only disappointed that some of the submissions are so hilariously inappropriate, 'cuz I'd LOVE to show some of them to my son!

Seriously, laugh out loud, tears running down my face funny. I'll show you a couple of my (not inappropriate) favorites: This one. And this one.

Hee hee!!

And, with that, I'm outtie! Have a fabulous holiday weekend, my friends! And, drive safe...
