I Wish I Were a Little Bar of Soap

Oh I wish I were a little bar of soap,
Bar of soap
Oh I wish I were a little bar of soap,
Bar of soap
For I'd slippy and I'd slidy
Over everybody's hiney
Oh I wish I were a little bar of soap
Oh I wish I were a little mosquito,
Little mosquito
Oh I wish I were a little mosquito,
Little mosquito
For I'd nippy and I bity
Under everybody's nightie
Oh I wish I were a little mosquito
Oh I wish I were a little bottle of pop,
Bottle of pop
Oh I wish I were a little bottle of pop,
Bottle of pop
For I'd go down with a slurp
And I'd come up with a burp
Oh I wish I were a little bottle of pop
Oh I wish I were a little English sparrow,
English sparrow
Oh I wish I were a little English sparrow,
English sparrow
For I'd sitty on the steeple
And I'd spitty on the people
Oh I wish I were a little English sparrow
Oh, I wish I were a fishy in the sea.
Oh, I wish I were a fishy in the sea.
Wouldn't I look cute
Without my swimming suit?
Oh, I wish I were a fishy in the sea.
Obviously this is rather random but we heard this song the other day and I started thinking about the words while I was singing along.  I'll admit, the song is catchy and many of the verses make me laugh but when I think about them in relation to my kids I don't really want them listening.  Particularly the bolded phrases.  haha.  Anyway, super random.  Just a little chuckle I want to remember.

 But really, what are your kids favorite songs to listen to.  We seriously need to broaden our repertoire.  Hope you are having a great day!

Sometimes I wish the kids weren't paying attention so much to the songs!

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
