M&M’s and Demons
February 27, 2007
Let’s see how long I can ride this blogging train…
Christina says:
In my house, peanut M&Ms are considered power pellets.
Damn straight sistah. I can fold laundry way faster after a bag of those. But Sassy and I have a deal. We are only allowed a bag of M&M’s on Tuesdays. If we ate more than that, we might as well rub them on our asses, because dude, that is where they would end up. So if you want clean clothes on a Monday, you can forget it.
What is your favorite chick flick? I m really needing to get a good cry out today&
I have two. The first being Magnolia. I love that movie with every fiber of my being. It’s a grab-you-by-the-balls-in-your-face kind of movie. I love stuff like that. Daren didn’t understand it. Hard to understand it when your eyes are shut, sweetheart. It’s not a tearjerker, but definitely a chick flick, in my opinion, but then I live with Mister If It Isn’t a Mystery, Gore, Horror or Action Movie Then It’s Time For Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
The other movie is Divine Secrets of The Ya-ya Sisterhood. Ashley Judd as a young mother is what I lived with as a child. If you know the movie, there’s that scene where she wakes up from a drunken slumber to her kids puking, and steps in it…then freaks the fuck out. She loses it completely and starts beating the children, running them right out of the house while the oldest daughter tried to stop her. I am a MESS watching that. I know the terror those children are feeling and it takes me right back to being that oldest daughter. Needless to say, I own the movie, but have only watched it a handful of times when I need the demons to come out for a romp.
Any tips for keeping chaos at by? The company I work for has a great resource for organizing kids rooms (check organizingmyhome.com). I m looking for more ideas.
Ha ha ha ha ha. Wrong blogger, Christina. But I’ll plug your site, nonetheless, because it’s pretty. Chaos doesn’t live here. Seriously…we are a really laid back family. Every Sunday we break God’s rules of rest and crank the tunes and work it. Takes about 2 hours for us all to do this house, but we maintain as we go all week anyway. The kids have a blast and hubby and I compete to see how sweaty we can get. Call it foreplay.

My mom wasn’t as bad as bad as Divine Secrets, but she was close more times than I would like to admit. Thankfully she’s a totally different person now. That is a very very hard scene to watch, just as a mom!

I haven’t seen either of those…yet. But when you mentioned Magnolia it reminded me of Steel Magnolias…I LOVE that move!

First I have to say that I am male, and I love this blog! My wife and I have been married for 8 months and we are planning on having children soon. Because of her job, I may be a stay at home father! Rambling aside, I love Ya Ya because it is a fantastic story about a child’s relationship with her parents. Love the father in that movie by the way!

power pellets. That’s good! We keep a jar of them on the kitchen counter.
If you can find it “Purple Hearts” is a movie that mister might stay awake and watch with you. But if you find it I hope you still have a vhs player. Check your local library. That’s were I found it and did some creative copying.(I didn’t just say that) LOL
I found your blog from Auto Roll.
Be safe…

Now I want to snuggle in my favorite chair with a bag of M&M’s and watch a tear-jerking movie.
My Husband will send his thank you letter later. HA!
