What is it with swearing and parents and kids?
This is me... I know gross... but true
I admit, I’m a potty mouth.
I could probably rival any trucker out there on a good day.
Recently my husband started putting me on speaker phone. Do you even know how annoying that is? I’m swearing away as happy as a clam and then he interrupts and says “Um… you’re on speaker.”
GRRRRRR
I’m going to put forth a huge effort to stop, but a friend of mine – also a PM – said it’s ok to swear, even in front of the kids as long as you put something kid friendly at the end.
Here are some glorious examples…
Mother F@%#!r Ice cream
Sh*t M &M’s
Dammit cup cakes
A$$ Hole Fluffy Fairy
The thought here is that the kids will only remember the ending so it’s OK to swear.
Hmmm… I’m still thinking about this one…
Anyhow, to my lovely spekerphone husband… we’re driving along one day and some guy pulls out in front of him and he says “F’in Jack Wad”…
Then Beanie questions “Daddy why is that man an F’in Jack Wad?”
Yes Daddy, why is that man an “F’in Jack Wad?”
That’ll teach him to continue to put me on speaker!

Beanie turned 4 today… my little Beanie, growing up and getting bigger every day…. sigh..
Where has 4 years gone? I can remember her first day in the world. The love I felt. The honor it was to be called Mommy… the months rolled on…the first time I ever heard her say “Momma”, my little Beanie Boo… her birth was the day my heart started walking around outside of my body…
One of my favorite memories is when she was learning her sounds… what does the cow say – Moo… what does the dog say – Woof… what the does the little Piggy say…”Wee wee wee all the way home!“… so original… stilll to this day so original…
She started her day off with me and Daddy singing Happy Birthday… then Little Roo running in the kitchen saying “appy birday”… then a complete game of Princess with Nonni Roo.
Tonight she will dine on the most fabulous Princess Cake life has to offer, from the Red Plate of course and finish with loads of presents that will most likely cause cardiac arrest -
Easy Bake Oven
The REAL Cinderella dress
Princess backpack & lunch box for school
Tinkerbell books and PJ’s
New ballet leotard
For my Beanie… I dedicate this post…
Happy Birthday… Mommy LOVES you LOTS & LOTS & LOTS…

So Beanie is really into chewing gum… I know, I know… not the best thing for her, but it’s sugarless… anyhow that makes Little Roo want it too.
Surprisingly she chews it – for a long time too.
Well I was in the computer roomand Beanie comes running in…
“Mommy, Mommy- Roo threw her gum in the toilet”
In toe – Little Roo, hand dripping wet, chomping away…
“I got it!”
