Mindless Blog Drivel

  Sometimes while doing the routine things that I do, day in and day out, I tend to think of mindless blog drivel.

  Mindless blog drivel?

  You know the stuff that you think of while loading the clothes washer for the upteenth time that week, the stuff that surfaces while hangin your husband's pants on the clothesline, the really shallow stuff that makes you think "Hmmm" while sweeping around the dining room table. Please just keep it to yourself if this just doesn't apply as I really need to think that all is normal in my small world.

  So at the risk of losing you as my friend dear reader here goes:

 Three Word Quotes Heard Commonly Around Our House

Make your bed

Brush your teeth

Wash your hands

Drink your milk

Clean that up

What about, Lillie

It's not fair

Not another word

Shut your mouth

Take that outside

He bit me

Say you're sorry

I forgive you

I love you

Go to sleep

  So glad I got that off my mind, now I can move on to other mindless blog drivel.

Your friend, Julie

  Yes, I need to get out more.

LOL That makes you more my friend than ever!
I think it is childbirth and motherhood that reduces us to three-word sentences, don't you? I don't know about you, but 25% of my brain cells were blown out as I pushed for each baby. Except for the last one, because I didn't have to push quite as hard for her. 4 x 25% = 100% brain cell loss, minus 10% for not pushing as hard, = 90% total brain cell loss. That explains it.

Jun. 18, 2009 - I've been waiting expectantly for your next blog post

Posted by kcmyworld
as I always like to see what cool things you and your kids are up to. Evidently, you are up to the same things I am! Listening to your thoughts rattle around in your head! A few more from around here:

Hands to yourself!
Love you more!
More jugo, please (juice in Spanish)
What's for dinner?
Time for bath.
Watch your tone
Thank you Jesus!

Looking forward to your next post, too.

Very enjoyable reading. I'd love to hear everyone's little fly-on-the-wall phrases. You should have made it into a Mr. Linky. Thanks for being so daring - made me smile.

Oh my, on the "he bit me" - I guess Natalie hitting her sister isn't too out of the normal.

What does "what about, Lillie" mean?

"Shut your mouth" - I hope you are referring to them not closing their mouth when they eat.

Some of ours...

"Stop begging"
"Give me space"
"Get down from there"
"You need to come the first time I call you"
"Brush your teeth again, they aren't clean"
"Flush the toilet"
"You can't come out until you clean your room"
"I can only understand one person talking at a time"
"Go play"
"No up"
"You got to sit by Daddy yesterday"

and of course

"I love you"

You've just got to watch this video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYukEAmoMCQ It's a song about the things mom's say. Maybe it will help, since you haven't been out much!

Love this! You're doing better than I am! I can usually only put two words together:

Please stop
Sit down
Get off
Please listen
Don't interrupt
Please wait
No screaming
Rest time

and my most used response:

uh uh

I'm brain dead!
