J-Man sometimes has trouble getting his sister’s attention. This is usually how it goes
J-Man: Blah, blah, blah, Yoshi, blah, blah, watch me play my video game, blah, blah, Mario.
Sister: {complete silence}
J-Man: Hello?
Sister {more complete silence}
J-Man: Hello? Can you hear me?
Sister: {nothing}
J-Man: Hello? Are you death?
Makes me laugh every single time.
Today is my one year anniversary of what I refer to as my year of pain. No celebrations, confetti or parties because really, who would celebrate that?
I just saw a commercial for an upcoming Phineas & Ferb episode. Doofenschmirtz and Perry totally team up to take out vampire ninjas. Is it sad I want to see it? C’mon, ninja vampires, who wouldn’t want to see it?
I have to admit that I’ve lost my car keys. I haven’t been able to find them since we got home from vacation. I’ve gone through everything and they just aren’t there. I tried to call the lost and found at Fort Wilderness but just got the answering machine asking me to leave a message with my site #, phone number and a description of the item I lost. Then they sign off with “Have a magical day!” It’s going to have to be magical if I’m ever going to want to drive my car again. My husband isn’t going to continue letting me use his keys forever.

Ever wonder why gay guys have that accent/lisp thing going on? I mean does that come standard with being gay? I’m not being mean, I like gay guys, I just don’t understand why they talk like that. I guess it’s the same as when you’re from the South, you just talk that way.
I noticed the other day when I see some one’s name and it’s Chinese or of Asian origin I have to pronounce it out loud. I don’t know why, but I do it all the time. Weird.
Did you know that if you take your right foot and turn it clockwise in a circle, while trying to draw a 6 on a piece of paper, your foot will turn the other way? You know you’re trying to do it right now.
Kibbles and Bits dog food is made with industrial laxative, just ask my dog. He’s the one rubbing his ass all over the backyard.

We’ve got an exciting addition to Blue Monkey Butt coming up this month.
We are launching our own online store with Open Sky.
We get to choose the products we love
and hope you will love them too.
Look for more info and some fab items
in the next week or so.
Since we are driving to Florida and I am under doctor’s orders for mandatory rest stops every 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours to get out and walk around,
we have been trying to make the most out of it.
We actually stopped at a scenic overlook in West Virginia that normally we would’ve driven by without a second thought.
Then a little ways down the road we came to New River Gorge National Park
Home to the longest bridge of it’s kind in the Western Hemisphere.
Really, how could we pass that up?
If I had known that it was 173 steps down and I would have to take them all back up,
believe me, I would’ve passed it up.
But it was a beautiful spot and we are glad we did it.
We were all amazed at the huge amount of butterflies we saw all over West Virginia.
It made for a beautiful drive and we all saw things we wouldn’t normally see.
The motel we ended up staying in was a completely different story.
More suited for What The Hell Wednesday.

Wednesdays are great for Wordless and Wordful posts, but we decided to go a different route and create our own Wednesday fun. We figured what the hell. That’s how we started What The Hell Wednesday. Who are we kidding? That’s pretty much how we decide on almost everything.

It’s our 30th What The Hell Wednesday Post!!!! Why aren’t you all joining us each week??? Really, What The Hell??
I don’t have a fancy cell phone or anything. Just an old one that when I text I have to hit the number 2 three times to get a “c”, etc. I realized this month that I either have a problem, I am really popular or I have no life. Apparently when I chose 1,000 texts a month I estimated a little low. I hit 1,000 texts within 2 1/2 weeks! What The Hell? It’s not like I’m a teenager or something! I’m 34 in my 30’s! It’s not even the easiest thing to text on! You know how many “talk” minutes I used during that 2 1/2 weeks? 2 minutes. I think I have a problem…..
My boys have a t.v. in their playroom. My 11 year old came out the other day and said, “The batteries are dead in the remote again.” What The Hell? His brother just replaced those batteries 3 weeks ago. Yep 3 weeks! We still have the batteries in the remote in the living room that came with the box when we got it a year ago!
Back to Facebook, have you ever “liked”someone’s status, only to log on later to like 50+ notifications?? What The Hell?? I don’t care if 49 other people commented or liked that status too!! Why do I have to be notified, it’s not like I care!! This is why I am very picky when I chose whose status to like or comment on. I am friends with a few DJ’s, and they are a definite No No! I think if you see that you’re friend is friends with like 500+ people, you should probably not ever comment on their stuff! Consider yourself warned.
Okay, Facebook has Farmville, Yoville, Fishville etc. I saw a new one last night called “Dumbville.” What The Hell? Do you really want people to know that you play Dumbville? I’m thinking most people will think you’re an idiot…….although I think most people are idiots for having a farm/sorority/mafia/aquarium/ocean/zoo/pet……no offense.

What The Hell??!! So I’m a little late posting this.

What The Hell is that noise?
OMG!
You’re never going to believe What The Hell is going on out there.
What The Hell? I couldn’t get a picture of her, but there was a robin trying to build a nest in my bedroom window.

What The Hell Mother Nature? What. The. Hell? April 27, 2010 and you give us snow? You crazy bitch!
Yes, those are supposed to be flames. There weren’t actually any flames involved, just a strong electrical burning smell, a black spot on the inside of the microwave and the microwave door started to melt, but no actual flames. What the Hell Sears? We didn’t know we were buying the Kenmore microwave that self destructs and is a fire hazard. So now we need to buy a new microwave and it’s just not in the budget right at this time. It’s like living in the stone age, heating things on the stove sucks! Not only does it take longer, there are more things to wash and if you know me, you know how much I truly hate to wash dishes by hand.
The other day I came home from errands and as I walked through the basement I noticed a large puddle on the floor. I was all like What The Hell?? When in hell did the stupid dog come downstairs and wet all over the floor. As I’m looking at this giant puddle I’m thinking ‘I don’t remember him drinking this much water? How in hell did he pee this much?’ I’m all set to go upstairs and yell at the dumb dog when I realize that the puddle is actually from a leak in the dehumidifier. Oops! At least I figured it out before I yelled at the dog.
We came out of the grocery store a couple of nights ago and there was a woman getting to her car at the same time. She was parked in the spot in front of us. She stopped at her door and started making clicking noises and shooing motions with her hands. All of a sudden 2 cats jumped up at the window and started climbing all over the seats. What The Hell Lady?? Why the hell are you driving with cats???? Obviously, I saw my first confirmed crazy cat lady. We watched her drive off with a cat on the dashboard and another in her lap looking out the window. We made sure to stay waaaaaaay behind her. My husband looked at me and said “She should get pulled over for DUIC.” For those of you wondering what DUIC is…Driving Under The Influence of Cats. I wonder if there is a need for a group called MACC.. Mothers Against Cats in Cars.

If you’ve ever watched Hoarders you know those people are crazy. Well driving home from work today I saw a Car Hoarder! Actually I don’t know the correct name, but he was driving a blue Chevette, and the whole back of the car was filled with trash, plastic bags, etc. I mean to the very top of the ceiling! What The Hell?? If this guys car looks that bad, I can only imagine what his house looks like!! What, did you run out of room in your house so you started hoarding in your car? The whole car looked like it was dragging on the ground it was so full! And it was a Chevette!!
I know I mentioned the new show called “Baggage” the other day. Well, I finally watched an episode the other day. Jerry Springer hosts it, one person is looking for a date, and the potential dates have to reveal “baggage” about themselves. The show I watched had 3 okay looking guys, but this is what their baggage was: #1-”I pee in the sink”, #2-”I have a small penis”, and #3-”I have cheated on all my girlfriends”. WHAT THE HELL??? Run woman run!!! That’s what you have to choose from??? I think you’re better off being single!! And guess who she got rid of? Small fry! She ended up picking the “pee in the sink guy.” I’m sure he’s a winner..
My youngest had baseball practice last night, and it was raining. When I came back to pick him up, it started down pouring, like buckets, and wind! I walked all the way over to the batting cages and there he is with his brand new bat hitting pitches. All the kids around me are yelling, screaming and running to their parent’s car. But my child is not even flinching, he has the biggest grin on his face as he practices hitting with his bat. There I stood looking like a drowned rat watching this little 9 year old who didn’t have a care in the world, focused on hitting that ball. So I stayed there in the rain watching him…..What The Hell right? It’s only rain, and he was just so damn adorable!!
Now let’s go from a cute story, to an annoying one. My 11 year old was over a friend’s house the other day. He called home and asked me this question, “Mom, can we swing by and pick up some fireworks?”, Yes we have fireworks, we live in NH, it’s legal to have fireworks, although it’s not legal to light them off in our town. Anyways, I told him, “NO”, he argued with me a few more times and then he said, “Well is Dad there? Why can’t I talk to him, and have him answer me?” WHAT THE HELL child??? After my head spun around and pee soup came spewing from my mouth I said, “NO, you can’t talk to Dad because I said NO to you, and even if I put Dad on the phone he would say NO to you too, and do you think that’s it’s okay to go ask Dad because I said NO??” There was a long pause, then he made a noise like our cat does when it has a hairball and said, “fine.”
J-Man now classifies the children in his class as “had lice” or “hasn’t had lice”. So far we are in the “hasn’t had lice” category. It’s going through his class like….ummmm, well, like lice. We are getting the “lice” letter in his backpack a couple times a week. I thought it would be better after Christmas vacation, but those little buggers are persistent. So far all of my kids have avoided the “had lice” label and I really want to keep it that way. J-Man isn’t a fan of bugs so the idea of having bugs in his hair kind of freaks him out. Who am I kidding? The thought freaks me out too. I’m ready to outfit him with a plastic bubble to keep the lice away. That would work with all those other nasty germs at school too. Between the lice, H1N1 and the stomach virus bubble boy suits may catch on.

It’s kind of hard to be random when all I can think about is “Oh crap! surgery! Oh crap! surgery!” The surgery is scheduled for 12:15 and I haven’t been able to sleep for the past few nights. So Monday night my doctor prescribed Ambien for me. Ya, that’s the sleep medication that causes people to drive, eat, bowl, ski, corral herds of stampeding cattle and all other types of activities people used to do while awake. Mostly I need to avoid the eating, especially after midnight so my husband is planning on waking up if I get out of bed. Ummmm, ya, that won’t happen. If I wake up in the morning covered in crumbs with hoof prints on my pajamas I’ll know I’m in trouble.
Last night I heard the fan go on in the main bathroom. I was instantly awake and realized our daughter was going to take a shower. Normally, a shower in the middle of the night is no big deal, but she didn’t know that our normal family tub had morphed into Stephen King Tub. Yesterday afternoon I scrubbed that sucker so hard it was shiny (which for a 50 year old tub is some feat). Well, shiny = slippery and I had scrubbed all those little non-slip strips off. Basically our tub was now a death trap. I didn’t have any more of those strips so I improvised and threw a towel down for the kids last night. I knew she would see the towel and take it out, never realizing she was signing up for a starring role in “Death Takes A Shower!”. Even though I was wide awake at this point I really didn’t want to get out of bed, it was all warm and cozy and once you get out you can never find the warm spot again, so I took a chance that she would have her phone with her and sent her a text message. Of course she had her phone with her in the bathroom at 1am. What was I thinking? I let her know about the death tub and she didn’t move the towel. Phew! That was close. Can you believe my husband asked me if we could wax the tub??? As if it isn’t dangerous enough?
Speaking of husbands, my husband gets leg cramps in the middle of the night causing him to jump out of bed, hop around and yell. This used to freak me out, wake me up out of a sound sleep, heart racing and I’d be looking for the zombies that must be attacking because why else would there be so much yelling? Now, not so much. It’s amazing what you get used to. This happened again a few nights ago. I opened one eye, saw him doing his cramp dance, turned over and went back to sleep. It registered so little with me that the next night when he said “I hope I don’t get another leg cramp tonight” I said “Was that last night?” I honestly barely even remembered it. The leg cramp episode I remember best was the time his legs got caught in the covers and he fell out of bed onto the floor. I couldn’t stop laughing long enough to ask him if he was okay. That night the cramp dance was kind of like break dancing. I can’t even type it without laughing. Really, it’s the little things that make life great.

The other day I bought some of that Slim Fast strawberry shake, well actually it was the Walmart brand, but still, pretty much the same thing. I hadn’t even finished drinking it when, guess what, I had to go to the bathroom! Yep, apparently that’s how you get Slim so fast! I’m sorry, but if that’s the secret, forget it, I’m all set. Oh, and some of the ingredients are: fat free milk, water, Canola Oil, Fructose, Cellulose Gel, Cellulose Gum, Artificial Flavor, and a bunch of other crap I can’t pronounce. Doesn’t it sound yummy and nutritious? What I want to know is, why the hell is there Canola Oil in it? Boy drinking Canola Oil is so refreshing!
Have you seen the commercial with the actor Luke Wilson for AT&T? I don’t know what happened to him, he used to be the cute Olson brother! Now he has his hair all parted to the side like a big dork! Listen up Luke, fix your hair, it’s pretty pathetic when Owen is cuter than you!
I’ve come to realize that sometimes work can be very similar to High School. It’s really disappointing when you find out that someone you are friends with has been saying mean things behind your back. This is why I’m not a big fan of people, and I try to keep my distance. Grow up people, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
Football is pretty much on our t.v. all Sunday long. All the commercials that are on during football are either for beer, viagra or cialis. I was in the bedroom folding laundry when I heard our 9 year old son ask, “Hey Dad, what’s ED?” Oh boy! I heard my husband say, “oh just a problem men get when they get old”. Whew! Luckily he didn’t ask any further questions!

If it’s Tuesday, this must be Random Tuesday Thoughts. It’s brought to you by Keelyat The Un-Mom. She really knows how to rock Tuesdays so go and check her out and tell her the Blue Monkey Butt sisters sent you or sister since Stacy is MIA today. Something about needing to get some work done. Puh-lease!
Yesterday I called the hospital to see if I needed an appointment before the surgery. First they didn’t even have my first name right. Great! Gives me loads of confidence right off the bat. Then they asked me a few questions to see if I had to come in for pre-surgical screening.
Do you have Diabetes?
No
High blood pressure?
No
Heart Problems?
No
Have you used cocaine in the past 30 days?
Ummmmm…let me think. Today’s the 9th….ummmmm. Honestly never, but I so wanted to mess with her. With my luck she wouldn’t get my sense of humor and she’d believe me and then put it down on my medical record and it would follow me forever. So I just said No! Do they really get people to say yes?
On the upside, since I answered all the questions correctly I don’t need to go in for a pre-surgical screening.
I saw my first official mask wearer at the store yesterday. I really wanted to ask the mask wearer if she was sick or was she afraid she would get sick. If you see me wearing a mask it’s because I’ve just scrubbed in to do some emergency surgery or Michael Jackson has taken control of my body from beyond the grave. In that case call an exorcist before I go out and get a chimp and name it Bubbles.
I love Peppermint Stick ice cream and for some obscure reason that I don’t understand it’s only available from mid-October through the holidays. It’s the only time I ever buy myself ice cream from the supermarket. Last week Edy’s was on sale buy 1 get 1 free. So my husband bought me 3 containers of the not quite half-gallon anymore. He said that should get you through until they stop selling it. Ya, if I had a bowl a week maybe! I said more like 3 weeks and that could quite possibly be a stretch.
That’s all the random I’ve got today. Stop by tomorrow for What The Hell Wednesday. I know Stacy will have some good WTHW thoughts.

Okay, What the hell?? Usually our Random Tuesday posts get a bit of traffic and people leave comments and c’mon folks, who among us doesn’t love comments. As I type this we have 4 comments. What the Hell? I know I visited more than 4 blogs. I’m going to assume everyone has the swine flu and is lying in bed looking and feeling horrible. Although they must’ve been stricken immediately after they linked up their Random posts. I hope they all feel and look better next week.
As some of you may know, I’ve been having lots of pain since the end of August. They thought I had an ovarian cyst that burst, but since the pain hasn’t completely gone away and is there every single day I’m going to have a laparoscopy on November 24th to figure out what the hell is causing me pain. Today my husband sends me this email from work
subject; your outpatient visit date
I need to put the date and time in my calendar, please advise
What the Hell kind of email is that?????
Never mind the email, check out the date for the procedure. Two days before Thanksgiving people! What the Hell? They told me they were scheduling 6 to 8 weeks out so I guess I was lucky to get one in 4 weeks but I when she gave me a list of possible dates I knew it would be the 24th. Who the hell gets surgery 2 days before Thanksgiving??? Apparently I do. It shouldn’t be that big a deal because we aren’t having a house full of people and my husband always makes the turkey, but still.

Well, if you were one of the four people that visited us on Tuesday, you would know that my youngest, B is sick with a virus. A virus that I took him to the dr. yesterday for. A virus that the doctor said would require him to be home for the whole freaking week! What the hell? I do have a job, we do need to eat, it is getting close to Christmas, what the hell??
Football season for B is over now, he had one last practice last Saturday. A practice that was made pretty interesting considering the morning news showed that one of the volunteer coaches had been arrested! Technically he wasn’t a real coach, his step-son is on the team, and he was volunteering only at practices, but still there it was on the news and in the paper that day. Apparently he was involved in a robbery back in June, what the hell? He was turned in by a friend who gets his marijuana from him, What The Hell? He is currently being held on $100,000 Cash Bail, WHAT THE HELL???? Seriously, that’s my reaction…
The other day I bought one of those big-ass bags of dog food that you can’t even lift, unless you actually exercise, than maybe you may be able to lift it, I on the other hand can’t. Anyways, it’s not our dog Bruno’s usual food, but because it was on sale I bought it. Usually he doesn’t care what you put in front of him. Not this time….he doesn’t like it at all, and doesn’t want to eat it! What the hell? This is a dog that ate enough cat poo out of the cat box that we didn’t even need to change it?! Now he’s following me around staring at me, and I know he’s thinking, “What the hell is that crap?”
