The Mundane One and I over Lunch.
me: you should have seen the boy on the balance beam this morning, he was really going..so fast, he was flying like a bat in the wind
hubby: bat in the wind?
( I always get those “old sayings”/metaphors/assimilies wrong since I grew up with a deaf father, who heard them wrong all his life and passed them onto me, so i knew I said it wrong by his question)
me: ya, you know. like really fast.. I guess that one is wrong too right?
hubby: uh YA.. you’ve been saying that for months now, and I keep trying to ask you what the hell…
me: ya. i dunno. i got that one from my dad I guess…. bat out of hell then right?
hubby: ya I guess that would work
me: whatever, he was going really jam fast!
hubby: jam? what is THAT?
me: giggle.. ya. I dunno, just came out, meant to say damn.. but…
hubby: jam tho?
me: YA… I’m trying to curse less for fuck’s sake ok? so, I said JAM instead of DAMN
hubby: (laughing) so.. ok.. how’s that working for ya so far?
me: really fuckin’ great! 
hubby: ( shakes head and laughs at me in the knowing.. you’re hopeless, but I love ya anyway look)

I live on the outskirts of a small town. I used to live in the small town, and for the last 5 years attended mommy play groups with other parents. So, when I go to town, I see some people I “know” on a hello basis.
Tonight when taking the girl to her swim class in town at the rec centre, I knew I had to go and pick up milk at the store my kids call “Big Tig” ( the store has a huge tiger painted on the side)
A few weeks ago we ran into the coordinator of a mommy and me evening program called Busy feet, and we had not gone since we moved from town.
Since the programs on Wednesdays overlap by an hour, she invited us to bring the boy while the girl is at her class, and tonight he mentioned to me that he wanted to go to busy feet.
He mentioned this as we were getting back in the van from dropping off the girl, and I happily agreed that we’d stop by to see after I picked up some milk.
And the very second I agreed to go check it out, and see people we have not seen in a while, I got in the van and flipped down the sun visor and noticed something that made me want to get out of going anywhere in public.
big black chin hairs! OHHHHHH crap! As a 35 year old ADD woman, with changing hormones, I no longer worry about pimples, but I’ve started growing stray dark black chairs out of my chin….this would not be so bad, but I forget to do a good check and pluck them out, and then I notice them at really awkward times, like when I’m in town, without tweezers, and needing to go somewhere in public.
I frantically searched my backpack for a pair of tweezers. I own several pair.. and I had THOUGHT i left a pair in my back pack for just this kind of situation…but a 5 minute search resulted in nothing, and found me bargaining with my 5 year old to find a reason to NOT go to busy feet, where I’d have to talk to people, and be totally aware in my own head of the black chin hairs. I rationalized that I’m sure no one will notice, but that it didn’t matter. I’d notice, and that was enough to make me nervous and anxious. I have social anxiety enough as it is with my communication issues due to hearing processing, and also reading people’s body language, so I didn’t need this kind of extra anxiety.
So, I drove to run an errand for The Mundane One, and got stuck in traffic, then went to big tig for milk, and decided to see if they had some cheap tweezers.
Cleaning the car last week while waiting for a dr appointment I’d found a $1 coin ( called a looney in Canada) and thought perhaps it wold save me.
IT DID. they had a pair of tweezers for a dollar!!!! so I bought them, and plucked them suckers out of my chin in the parking lot, and then went off to the play group with my boy for the last 40 minutes of it. And in all of that, I almost forgot to buy the milk!
(me in total “no makeup, hair in ponytail, not brushed today, stained sweater going to town mode”)
Being a sexy SuperADDmom is no simple task!
And I’m gonna yell at the Mundane One for letting me out the door like that!
I’m keeping the tweezers I bought today in the van from now on, for just this kind of situation!

So yeah.. I’m watching Big Bang Theory with the hubby the other night and sheldon talks about spaghetti with hotdogs in it, and I think “OMFG no, people don’t really do that do they!?”
But given I know people who think a real nice spaghetti dinner is pasta boiled and thrown into a can of Tomato soup! GAG
So I did what any normal sane person would do, I googled it.
And when i searched the pictures results…which is how I decide what result page I go to first for every search I’m doing-this little concoction for kids came up when I looked for Spaghetti with cut up hot dogs.
So I decided to call them spider dogs with just 4 pieces of noodle. I made them for a surprise for the kids for lunch yesterday, and then tonight when we got home from the girls swim glass, and needed supper fast, they again asked for spider dogs.
Easiest Cool mom points EVAR.

(click the picture to enlarge it so you can read the easel)
On the side of our house that people see most when walking past on the small piece ( and only sidewalk) in our little hamlet, there is a “flower bed” that was there when we moved in. it had nothing but dirt and some crappy low weedy plants in it. It was more of a dumping ground.
The Girl cub claimed it as her flower bed, and this year she sprinkled wild flower mix in there, a few misc bulbs from other places in the yard we removed them from.
Late last fall I tore up a peonie bush that was poorly placed on the other side of the house under the bathroom window and just tossed it in there…it was cold, and I said. “well I guess it’ll take or it won’t, let just see.”
Well it rooted, and it’s growing and soon there will be peonies there. which she is delighted by.
I’ve noticed that the walls don’t contain the lily of the valley she transplanted in it, and the clover grass is growing through the holes in the walls of the wood. To keep the wood edging clear, when I walk by I pick out the grass growth. But I smile when I walk by that side to cut the grass, because it was nothing before, and it’s growing into a little while and crazy, beautiful bed of flowers that she loves and waters diligently ( too much).
So the saying on the sign just came to me this afternoon, so I grabbed some chalk and wrote it down on her easle and stuck it in her garden.
For those of you who don’t know I started a “blackboard blessings” last year in my front window, to thank a neighbour for the mystery gift that was left at my door, and now I make new signs on a rotating semi regular basis of quotes or what I’m thinking, or what I feel blessed by.
So this is the sign out side in that flower bed. I’m going to make a “permanent blackboard” for that flower bed with the sign, because since it spilled rain while I was out this evening , the writing it gone now of the easel

the boy: “<whining> mommmmmy, she won’t let me have a taste of her icecream! tell her to give me a taste!”
the girl: “I’m not giving him a taste of my ice cream, he never even offered me a piece of his brownie!”
the boy: “Yes I did!mommy i did offer her a price of my brownie!”
Me: “If she doesn’t want to give you a taste of her ice cream, she doesn’t have to”
the boy: “but mommy! i did offer her!”
The girl: “no you did not!”
the boy” I did, see right here, i offered you this large crumb, not you have to give me a taste of your icecream!”
at this point I started to laugh my ass off and had to tell him that a large crumb offer does not guarantee you a taste of icecream.
Sorry I think I must be really tired from the trip to the city… cause I found this extremely funny.

So very often with ADD, as I’m sure you know… I think to do something and then so many things between when I thought of it and when I get it done distract me, that it is lucky that I get it done even at all!
here’s a silly event that happened last night that made me laugh.. I’m cutting and pasting from my facebook status wall and comments to show…my poor hubby really does have a good sense of humor about it all thank goodness 
and because some people asked me I thought I’d clarify that No, in fact I do not mind that he calls me ADDGirl
My Status:

We just got home from seeing the Robots movie, and it was cute, I really enjoyed it… anyway DD is on the couch playing with the baby and she stuck her ear in his face and he started to suck on it (he’s 6 weeks today). She laughed and told me he was silly, I asked her why she did that and she said she was trying to hear what he was saying.
When I asked her what he was saying she replied in a small voice for the baby
“I want a bagel”
LOL
