Seriously. Am I the only one who sees these things?!

We live on the Plains of Texas. What's with the lumberjack?! They can't be offering to take people away from lumberjacking (we have no trees), so they must be offering the dream of lumberjacking. Who knew?
(Someone call that number and report back, please.
Or call from the lumberjack camp!)



This is why you should never put your keys in your mouth.
(That's an unidentifiable "parking lot puddle.")



This should be filed under "True Confessions."
Confession #1: I went to put away the kids' tote bags from a camp they attended this summer. (Yes. It's December. They were hidden on the coat tree. Don't judge me.)
Confession #2: Elizabeth's bathing suit was still in there. And still wet.



I was attacked by my own wedding ring. See how there's blood smeared all over the band? And, this picture doesn't even do justice to the bloody chunk that was missing from my finger.
I hope I'm never DNA tested in connection with a crime. But, wait. That crime would have to involve my own blood... Now I really hope it never happens.



Am I the only one that thinks it's a little hysterical that there's a donut shop a few doors down from the Weight Watchers office? And, it has a drive-thru!



 This happened in the middle of the football season:
I feel like it might have been God's way of suggesting our team just scrap the season and take up swimming.



Serious overuse of quotation marks:



This seems like some fairly intense take-home reading for a 1st grader. I was expecting a Dr. Seuss character. Cesar Chavez? Notsomuch.
(Honestly, it was a cute little book from the "Rookie Biographies" series. I just did not expect a solemn Chavez to emerge from the bookbag last night.)

So, do you see hysterical ridiculousness everywhere you look? Or is it just me?

1. Called the number. "Hi, this is C___ H___. If you're calling about the business opportunity, please leave your name and number. If you're calling about anything else, please leave your name and number." He posted it on a phone pole, maybe you'd be chopping down phone poles?
2. Did the keyless entry buttons still work?
3. In five words or fewer, describe the smell.
4. That's like a scene from a pretentious art film, when the heroine realizes she's TRAPPED IN A HARMFUL RELATIONSHIP!
5. Didn't the WW next door to donuts thing also happen in an episode of Sex & The City? Not that I, um, watched that show. I heard about it while I was drinking beer and ogling cheerleaders. Hey, look over there!
I got nothin' on the rest, except that the cover of that book is definitely more sober than most children's books.

1. OMG, danny! i started laughing out loud when i read the first three words. i think you're pretty smart. he's clearly targeting disgruntled phone pole choppers.
2. of course not. which my children STILL can't understand...
3. un-freakin'-known! are you kidding me?! that bag went directly to the trash can, disturbing condensation and all!
4. i am! with my rings! i think i have a scar.
5. i'm suffering from second-hand embarrassment for you. i'm just going to move on.

THREE MORE. there were only THREE MORE. i am so disappointed. ;)

The Cesar Chavez book made me snort laugh. That book looks Fu-un for a kid. Who wouldn't want to read that?! Author Susan Eddy has the RIGHT idea with that one. Where can I buy her whole collection for my future children?

i think you ought to take some notes from a person who is clearly more "in touch" with the children. kids these days don't want fun, they want to be scholarly - with a capital S.

and you call yourself a "parenting expert!"
