Apparently people like to hear what happens in the land of Awesome every week.  I need a more clever title than “Weekly Update” or the many other lame equivalents.  Thoughts?

So, this week…..

Monday, brought  a visit from CPS.  Mrs. “You’re kids don’t have enough toys/their toy room is too cluttered” stopped by.  To combat the cluttered state of the house, we’ve decided to hire a housekeeper, but I need to clean up around here first.

Tuesday, I got completely creeped out by David Hasselhoff.   It continued into Wednesday.  I believe it’s a seasonal disorder that will end after the finale of America’s Got Talent.  As of the writing of this post, I have no favorites, but am glad that Susan Boyle relented and got a make over.

Wednesday a plague descended on the land of Awesome.  There was a fever of 103.6 – barf and other body fluids spewing from 4/5 of the many small children, and the incontinent grumpy ol’ dog.

I think I want to visit Miami.

And the Pacific Northwest.

I’ve decided that the perfect job for me is dictator and am looking for a small tropical island in need of one.  Preferably one without bugs.

Felpsy just stepped on a Lego – Karma, although I don’t believe in it, is a funny thing.

The great debate of the week.  Can you give without receiving?  And why is it easier to give than receive?

We went out on Friday night to celebrate 8.5  years of wedded bliss.  And 11 years being married.  Huh?  Well, it’s not all flowers and sunshine.  For example, Hubby and I didn’t have such a great week.  One of us was being a bitch.  I won’t say who.  I’m packing a ready bag for the next time it happens and then sending him on a long disc golf weekend.  Eventually he’ll learn to leave on his own at the first sign of me eating chocolate frosting straight from the container.   Still find it hard to believe he’s put up with me for eleven years.  xoxo

I understand the power of one.

I’m rethinking the 2nd annual 4th of July Snowball fight.  Last year was temperate.  This year is Africa hot, and coconut covered gelatanous goop being thrown around doesn’t sound fun this year.

The four youngest Awesome children joined Tae Kwon Do.  Boog got kicked out for repeatedly saying “No sir” when they asked him to say “Yes sir”  I sense a disturbance in the force with that young one.  Princess, Felpsy and Radical all broke boards.  It’s actually been quite good for Felpsy.  He is kicking ass and taking names, so to speak.  Although he is only five, he is in the seven and older class.  Did I mention Boog getting kicked out?  Of kiddie TKD?

As for the Big Boy?  Who knows, he’s either knocking over convenience stores or harboring another family in a neighboring town.  It’s summer, he’s sixteen.  Should I be scared?  If he doesn’t understand the ramifications of sex, then no one ever will.  I think we are safe(r) than most in that department.

Worms are on the move.  How dorky am I?  Very.  Just sayin’.

Oh, had a brilliant Twitter idea.  That’s all.  Just a brilliant idea.  Speaking of Twitter, you can attach an app where they take your clever tweets and turn them into t-shirts.  I added it.  I’m in the running with “I just found out that VAGINA is a man!”  I would hate to ask you to vote on anything else.  We’ll wait until this opportunity to vote is over.  You have until the 6th of July to vote.  That’s SOON.  And they didn’t give a time, so vote early, vote often one time per day per email.  I could potentially be the 8th most learned blog, and break into the top 20 funny.  Eighth and in the TOP TWENTY.  I amaze vote for myself.

My super helpful tips for hiring a housekeeper are getting me hits.  Luckily, I have a secret blogger identity, and that will save me from actually being hit.  If you wonder what my real name is, June Garden’s named her cats after me.  She also lives in the town that is named after my street.

Have so enjoyed reuniting with my bff from high school.  Sadie.  Wondering what kind of fun we could have now that we have incomes…..Gahd I have missed her.  I must snuff out the desire for her blogging before next years BlogHer funniest blog contest.  She makes me PIMP.

Enjoy your 4th also known as my anniversary.  Yes, I got married on Independence Day.  I’m funny that way and I married a man that is cool with my crazy ideas.  Also, built in fireworks on my anniversary.  Nice!  Love you Honey Bunny!
