Random Tuesday Thoughts 

But not in my house...


This is just not right. 

Now this question:

Do you know what this is? 

How come 50 percent of this post is about bodily functions?

Random is as random does.

I suppose you could always threaten your husband with a dose of your stinky, stinky breath the next time he doesn't throw his wrappers away. Do you think that might help?!

August 31, 2009 at 9:59 PM 
I don't even know what to say concerning this post. Usually, I'd say, "Thanks for handing me so much ammo to use against you in clever comments for months to come!" but actually, I just feel so, so sorry for you (between fits of laughing uncontrollably at your various sad plights) -- what a ZOO over there -- heavens -- I have to stop laughing now or like Ella I might get "really sweaty" -- LOL --

I love your posts. It's just like being there with your family and you are always having a blast. I'd never heard of the jumping house causing night time incontinence but now I shall stay out of them forever :-)
Love your Simple Life!!

September 1, 2009 at 4:10 AM 
I have never ever ever heard of anyone proudly laying claim to a fart. And competitions for the rights to own it?? This is too absurd to fathom.

I have the exact same problem with my husband at my house. And he loves to leave gum in the sink. I tell him every single time not to put gum in the sink and the next day, there it is again.

Lots of interesting things in this post but I am just totally focused on those kiss wrappers and the PB. Did the husband stand at the counter and have him some kisses with a PB chaser? Just wonderin?!

September 1, 2009 at 5:53 AM 
Rambler-I believe the spoon was used to place a generous wad of pb on the kiss as a desert of some kind...

September 1, 2009 at 6:57 AM 
I guess with kids, bodily functions is a big part of your daily conversations!

Oh man, that peanut butter spoon makes me shudder. Ever day Albert comes home and eats PB right from the jar and leaves his lovely PB spoon out to get dried onto the spoon! Grrrr!

Love your randomness AND omigosh I love your blog design so much! It's beautiful!


September 1, 2009 at 9:16 AM 
Completely random and I loved it. That house could be evil to women who have had babies, too. Makes em pee their pants especially if they've been drinking. Just saying. I still smell my dog. You need a new dog for the compound. :D

September 1, 2009 at 9:31 AM 
You made me LAUGH OUT LOUD!


September 1, 2009 at 9:56 AM Ms Snarky Pants said...

Wow...why the heck does the jumpy castle cause nightime peeing!!! That's just random all by itself!

Sorry about Jack-Dog! So sad when our pets leave us.

September 1, 2009 at 12:33 PM 
My youngest did that the other day, on the toilet too. "I love you daddy, but not your smell." Ya, I'll remember that at Xmas.
 
I know we're all supposed to be grown up but bodyily functions still make us laugh. And you've got kids and an other half, that's enough reason :-)

September 1, 2009 at 1:16 PM 
Good luck I've been married 21 years and they never learn to put their things away. Grrrrr I'm wondering if the kids just jumping for so many hours that they were just to tired to get out of bed to go pee? Love the post it is always an adventure to read.

September 1, 2009 at 1:20 PM 
Oh Hi everyone! On the jumpy house I am 100000000 percent certain their night time incontinence was due to pure fatigue. There were so tired they slept like mini bricks.

September 1, 2009 at 4:29 PM 
Hi Julia, love your lively sense of humour.
And you sure made me smile East to West with your kids admitting what they did? Ha ha.
Normally have to get a Perry Mason to find out the culprit or even CSI, ha ha.

Your huby is not alone, he's in the company of about 680 million people who has the same, ahemmm, habits, ha ha.
I plead guilty, your honour.

You have a nice day and keep a song in your heart...by the way, whats that smell? Hmmmm, ha ha. Lee.

September 1, 2009 at 8:33 PM 
I have said it before and I will say it again...it is good to be a goat.
Although goats don't dare talk about anyone else's methane production.

Men are untrainable.

September 1, 2009 at 8:59 PM 
I love random posts.

Oddly, the "jumpy house" induces ME to pee a little with every jump. ;)

September 2, 2009 at 8:44 AM MObugs said...

I want to Thank Ella---I now have a great come back the next time I laugh til I pee (which is happening more frequently lately.....thank you very much my loving offspring!)No longer will I run in shame for the house, laughing the whole way, I will stand proudly and quote Miss Elly "I'm really sweaty"

I've been married 22 years this October, and still have not "trained" my man. I think it is a venture it futility. For every step forward, we take two back...sigh.

It is nice to know, mine is not the only zoo.

September 2, 2009 at 9:49 AM Ryan Ashley Scott said...

My word association? Random = bodyily functions. It just happens that way.

Monsoon likes to take pens apart and call it his "convention fing." I'm pretty sure he means invention thing. Then he feeds it to the dog.

It's a wonder Ella can smell breath with all the farting going on around there. You are so lucky!

September 2, 2009 at 10:40 AM 
You evoked laughter with the stinky breath one. The rest isn't foreign to me, as I live next door.

Maybe Jack is revisiting us. I smell him too.

Your husband insists on throwing away the recycling at my house too. Infuriating. I catch Jeff occasionally too and give him an earful, since he is the one who wants me to take to the recycle center for $. Maybe he believes that to be my pocket change. Sabotage!

September 2, 2009 at 4:10 PM Erin B said...

LOL, my husband is the same way. There's always a pile of wrappers next to "his" chair & he puts his empty water bottles either on the counter or in the trash....it's a constant battle!

September 2, 2009 at 6:48 PM 
When your body function family gives you a rest, come check out the Scavenger Hunt winners. PS... the recycling can pile up for... um.... a l-o-n-g time before even the husband whose job it is to sort it will do so. How many years do you figure you have yet.

Sorry about Jack.... :-(

September 2, 2009 at 10:00 PM Life Ramblings said...

I love your randomness, it's pretty hilarious. i've the same issues with my hubby too. he's untrainable! :(

sorry for the loss of Jack-dog.

Hi Julia, thanks for your visit to my blog today, I'm definatley with you on the mattress idea, lol!! Love the empty wrappers on your counter...I've been married for 22 yrs. and NO...IT NEVER CHANGES!!!!! If I didn't clear off the kitchen (catch-all) table every day, junk would be piled to the moon:(

September 3, 2009 at 8:49 AM Aunt Pitty Pat's Fun said...

I miss kids in the house for sure after reading this post ;)

September 3, 2009 at 5:48 PM 
I think I should get one of those jumpy houses for my sister. Her kids would just love it. :)

September 3, 2009 at 7:01 PM 
Sorry to hear about your dog, it's hard to lose a pet.

My daughter started off dismantling small things like pens, now she dismantles everything. Old DVD players, old computers, irons, phones, anything that she can take apart. When we get a new piece of electronics in our house there are old electronic parts everywhere, like someone blew up a league of evil robots. It's very annoying and painful to step on those little pieces. lol

But, on the bright side, she is extremely brilliant and gifted (and that's not just me talking, the school did testing ;-) ) and that is her outlet for that. hehe Your little one might just have a genius level IQ.

September 5, 2009 at 7:07 AM 
OH, and I don't know how long it takes to train a husband, but my parents have been married for 38 years and my dad puts everything away when he is done with it. So, while I can't give you an exact period of training, I can say that by your 38th anniversary, he should be very well-trained.

Men are useless, kids love farts, and kids always are too honest. These things shall be considered fact from here on out. As for the spirit dog? That's cool. I'd love to have some of my old cats come back. And the jumpy house? I shall note for future potty success with my threesome.

Happy SITS Saturday SHarefest!
