Another (mostly) funny day in the life...

So R informs me that I snore. I don't really believe it. I've never heard myself snore. Well maybe once when I woke myself up, but that doesn't count. 
But the other night I was snoring loudly enough to keep HIM awake. He calls that annoying. I call that justice. So anyway, he tried to wake me up just enough so that I would stop and he could go to sleep. Nope, I was sleeping really deeply that night, combination of Olympic zombie-ism and a cold. He told me I was so out of it that I was "comatoast". Yep, you heard it here first folks. I don't know what it means but it was pretty funny.
This morning it was cold enough that there was frost on the grass. So I told the kids, "cool, frost on the grass. Too bad I can't get out and go crunch crunch crunch. Will you guys go crunch for me?" That earned me the "you are the weirdest mom" look from Dearra. But when the twins got out of the car, they did a few token crunches for me. No grass at work. 
I'm not quite sure what it was exactly, but Dearra made some kind of a teenager-ish remark this morning and I made some kind of a comment about when she was going to grow up and move out. She said, "well it won't be when I'm 18, more like when I'm 38." So I said, "well we'll move your dad out instead and we can do stuff together." She replied, "like what? The Bachelor?" Yeah, I can see it now:
The Bachelor, Generations:
Mother Daughter Edition
C'mon folks, my daughter is gorgeous with her perfect little figure, blond hair and blue eyes. Who the heck is going to go for the mother? Any takers?
And on a sadder note, when I drove in to work, there was another cross on White Rock road. Drive carefully folks, we wouldn't want it to be you or one of your loved ones...

hi dawnald I love your discussions when you tell about your
children, they are lucky to have that "weird" mom and of
course they really do know it too. You have fun with your
children while some mylotters are always moaning about their
children.
Your telling about your snoring made me think of my first roommate here.She snored so loud it was like sleeping in the same room with a really fast speedboat,yet this one night she said, are you going to keep me up all night with that nose blowing? Say what, ? I had a bad cold, so what was I suppose to do, just snort it down, I wanted to say lady you
keep me awake all night with that really loud snoring.
Love it, comatoast, He has the same ripe sense of humor you do.
You know it always makes me cringe when I see those crosses at certain spots on the roads here where so many accidents have happened.

I don't think he said comatoast on purpose, it just came out...
"A really fast speedboat" lol Hope I'm not that bad!
Well I could moan about my kids. For example, yesterday Cary got really, really upset because he couldn't beat anybody on the wii. He was so upset I had to sit him on my lap for a bit to calm him down. But it's mostly all good...

Yes, but you knew how to help him get calmed down. I think we could all moan about our kids, but why bother, it does not do any good in the long run.

Yep, it's either the lap or the rocking chair. Moaning doesn't help much, true...

So you were comatoast hey? Interesting condition...Uhmmm...Is that what made you want to go crunch crunch on the frosty grass? I think that getting the "you are the weirdest mom" look is a great compliment! I know with my daughter when she tells me I’m weird it is a term of endearment...My husband is a loud, and I mean loud snorer, it’s so bad he has to sleep in the guest room or I may just hurt him!

I almost wanted to record my husband snoring one time to prove it to him but thought twice about it =P if he pulled that with me i would be reaaaal mad =P So a little snoring kept his delicate nature from falling asleep =P some guys are such babies =P lol he just wanted to make himself seem like some sort of victim.. what are you supposed to do? plug your nose and mouth with cotton?!? Ehh dont worry about it.. he'll either learn to sleep or will discover a new destination.. called.. the couch =P
Wow that little girl of yours is so clever lol... i hope i can be a "weird" mom to when my little one grows up a bit more =P im trying not to be an insane person when he decides that a bib is optional when he wants to get personal with his food =P
Yesterday there was a bad storm going and we were driving home.. my stomach was doing flips the whole time i couldn't wait till we got home safe and sound.. a lot of accidents happen because people think they are Immortal or something and that nothing will happen to them.. =(
I keep everyone in my prayers that everyone will be home safe and sound...

Hey weirdest mom! Was that "comatoast" with butter and jam? And why not go for The Bachelorettes instead . . . then YOU get to pick! Oh gosh, it makes me sad to pass by those "shrines" where you just know someone was killed (with flowers, crosses, candles, photos). I just saw one under a tree in the oddest spot - I don't know how anyone would have an accident there, but I suppose it can happen anywhere . . . 1 person likes this

Comatoast defined, to be sleeping warmly and soundly, I guess. I like that your kids will at least still crunch for you. I think you get to have lots of mom type fun. Keep it up as it sure beats the alternative.

Sounds about right to me!
Hm, guess I could have turned the car off, gotten out and crunched! Oh well...

We're due for lots of rain any day now, so maybe you can just send it somewhere where there's a drought? :-)

If you are going to snore you'll do it when you have a cold for sure. I have been accused of doing this terrible thing, and I didn't say anything, I knew if I did they would make a recording and then I'd have to eat that old black crow again.
We have extra beds in other rooms so if it gets to bad, Hubby can move out and at least I wouldn't have to listen to him snore.

Sadly, the extra bed is occupied and the sofa isn't that comfortable!
