What?? Can you hear it?

Do all men have hearing problems or just the one I live with?  I have a rule in my house, the volume does not go above 20...what was the TV just on? 24.  I feel like I'm constantly asking hubby to turn down the TV..and I swear he turns it back up when I'm not looking. (Seriously...he JUST did this as I was writing this...he turned the channel I told him it was too loud and looked and it was on 25!!!!)

I know that the commercials are louder than the TV shows, and this is always his excuse (but our Government is working on changing that...thank goodness!)  But when the TV is so loud I have to turn up the volume on the baby monitor to make sure I don't miss my baby crying...that's too damn loud!!

And while we are on hearing problems and men...of course he also has selective hearing when it comes to me.  I can talk to him and when I'm done, he won't respond.  I say his name he gives me a blank stare and a... "what?"

Oh nothing dear, I was just having a conversation with...myself!

Candy Bar advice

I went to my Sister-in-Law's baby shower yesterday and we played a game I had never heard of.  We got a piece of paper that had a list of candy bars and gum names.  Using that list we were asked to write our words of advice, using as many names of candy bars or gum that we could.  I thought it would be impossible, but after I got a start...I had a great time coming up with more.  All of the stories and advice was great, but since I didn't write them all down, you only get to hear mine...so here it goes....

Being a mommy is not always glamorous. When you clean Goobers, Big Hunks, or Chunky Whoppers of dirty diapers.  Get Good and Plenty of sleep when you can to prepare for Marathon sleepless nights.  It doesn't matter if your girl is a Nerd or Smartie, just give her Mounds of Hugs and Kisses.  Don't be a Dum Dum when you Skor with your Sugar Daddy, and be careful, or you might make another Baby Ruth or Junior Mint.

It was such a fun game, and with candy names like Skor, Hot Tamales and Mounds, I'm pretty sure you could come up with a story or advice for a bride to be as well!

Why?

Can someone explain to me why women's sized clothing has to be bright bold pattern s or look like it belongs on a 75 year old woman?

Can someone explain to me why you are not able to find hardly any petite length pants or even shirts in women's sizes?  Are there no fat, short people out there in the world other than me?  Some of us don't enjoying having to hem up every pair of pants we own.

I wish I was talented and could be a clothing designer...maybe I could make all my own clothes instead of just having to alter everyone else's.

Rant over...for now....
