Potty Dance

Have you seen the new pull ups ad? They have a big rapper guy leading families in the potty dance! I am disturbed and a little disgusted that they couldn't come up with anything better. To make it all worse I keep seeing ads on line for families to submit their home videos of everyone doing the potty dance! This along with a couple of other commercials have led me to the conclusion that nothing is private any more and there is hardly a line any more. Remember when commercials for feminine products use to be really vague and you'd think they were selling a day walking on the beach? There was no such thing in our vocabulary as ED (which by the way did you know ad companies are the ones who start using acronyms like ED and then they become part of our vocabulary as if they are really medical terms. Actually they put them out there so we will be more comfortable with talking about these private issues.) So I am protesting and will not buy pull ups until they take these stupid ads off tv. One other question- what is with the double bath tubs in the cialas commercials? Maybe I don't need to know but I think its weird and out of place! Who has two bathtubs on their back porch and how does that have anything to do with their product?

Just one question...

Do dishes multiply on their own? Little boy has a book about lady bugs, its one of those that starts out with ten bugs then the next page there are 9 and so on. At the end of the book there is a lady bug reunion and they are all together again. If I was to write a childrens book it would be something along these lines... (you'll have to picture the illustrations in your head).
There are ten bowls in the sink, Mama washes one and now there are...
9 bowls in the sink... the last page would say "Just when mama thinks she is done with the dishes in comes Daddy with ten more bowls hes been hording at work!"
I know what your thinking, I can't believe I'm blogging about dishes or that I have written a children's book in my head about the dishes but its raining outside, I'm by myself with a little boy whos vocabulary is limited to "mama", "ball" and "shoe".

cell phones

When is the last time you went 24 hours without your cell phone? I remember years ago B.C.P. (Before Cell Phone) I thought it completely unneccessary to carry a phone around all the time. If people want to get a hold of you they can wait until you are at home, when you have time to talk. Plus I thought it was rude when people were talking on their phones in public. Flash forward about 8 years and I can't hardly live without mine!
I still think its kind of rude to talk on the cell phone in public, (but sometimes I do it anyway.) Also I'm now at a stage in my life where the last place I have time to talk is at home! Now I use every day mulitple times! However, this weekend we went to Dallas to pick up Jeff's mom and Jeff left his cell phone at home by mistake. I said, "Don't worry I have mine and I brought the charger!" Then my phone died within an hour of leaving home and I realized I brought the wrong charger too late. We stayed at my brother's house where he has no home phone and he didn't get home from his trip until after we left the next day. That's the long version of why we had no phone for 24 hours. I just knew when we got home that I would have a million messages but sadly no... I am not nearly as loveable as Jeff it seems. The only person who called me was Sweet girl but Jeff on the other hand had like 10 messages.
Now I know I can do it - go 24 hours without the cell phone but I also don't really want to!
