You should probably also know that I’m kinda ADD. I like to pretend that Friday is the only day that I think like this, when really, this is normal for me.
Did you know that Friday Fragments have POWER? Last Friday, I said maybe the universe was trying to tell me something. And well, the universe answered. In an email. Wait until you see what I have coming in the mail. Oh, my. *blushes*
This Friday, I’ll test their power and say that Nintendo should totally give me a Just Dance Wii Game to giveaway after my embarrassing kickass video yesterday. Since, obviously, I have NO SHAME, I emailed them and asked. Doubt it will work, but why not try, right? Like I said, NO SHAME!
It looks like Sunday from WYSIWYG is the winner of the Just Dance off! I will hand-deliver her a sort of fabulous prize at Bloggy Boot Camp in Baltimore. There will be a new contest coming soon! PRACTICE, PEOPLE!!!

On Sunday, I fell down outside of the movie theater. BOOM. Slipped on some ice and did a cartoon-like flip up and fell smack down on my hands and knees. My knees are still sore, palms a little raw, and my arms ache. I think I should get free movies for life or something. Really, the snow came on Saturday. By Sunday afternoon, they should have taken care of that.
My younger brother texted me this week and asked me to check his fiancee’s fb page to see when her birthday is. I don’t know why, but it struck me as really funny. Future blackmail material.
****
Not that I’m great with dates. I’ve seen a lot of posts this past week about how long couples have been together. I can tell you our wedding anniversary, but I can’t even tell you what month it was that we started dating. I guess it depends on your definition of “dating.”
Motherbitches: I wasn’t down with the whole “hating someone just because you and I are friends and a friend of yours doesn’t like a friend of mine for a reason that has nothing to do with us so now I’m supposed to hate her too” thing back in junior high and I certainly am NOT down with it now. What a dumb reason to hate me. There are lots of valid reasons to hate me. Pick one of those instead.
I was the room mom for my 3 year old’s Valentine’s Day party last week. I decorated while the kids were in their music class. When they came back in, Bear said, “Oh, Valentine’s Day is BEAUTIFUL!” It was adorable.
I’ve decided that my ultimate response to people who think that my family is not complete without having a little girl…despite the fact that we have three children…is to say with an appalled look on my face, “No way. There is only room for one princess in this house and she is me.”
I’m anxiously awaiting noon so that I can do the next challenge for Supah’s Survivor Island. As long as I haven’t been voted off. Go, HEROES!
P.S. I’m redoing my scrolly-button thing. If you have my button and I don’t have yours, please let me know!
Too funny about your brother forgetting fiancee birthday… they are newly engaged… does that give him a reprive??
Is it someone who hates me???? Are you supposed to hate me??? LOL I know plenty of people who have formed a clan against me 😉
Must go back and see what you begged…..err I mean asked nicely for last week.
I'm with you on the whole "if you're gonna hate me pick one of my many faults to hate me for" thing.
exactly! i am going to have to buy just dance now that i saw your video! and thanks for sticking that spice girls song in my head for all day yesterday! secretly, i'm a HUGE spice girls fan! 🙂
Get this, I once fell down outside of Walmart because the special pretty rock-like pavement they had was wet and my husband would not let me get up until he had taken pictures (thousands of them I swear) with his cell phone. My butt still hurts just thinking about it.
Hate that people think they know how many of what you need in your family to balance things out. God has a plan, that's what's best.
Heroes on TV are very disappointing. I sure hope they get their act together quickly. I was really cheering on the hero side on Supah's Survivors.
I keep reading blog after blog this week about ppl falling on ice. I feel for you. I took a hard fall last winter. Hope your soreness wears off quickly.
No way!? I won?
How did that happen?
WOOHOO for me!
I totally agree with you on the people who visit and say a quick hi and then ask me to come see their blog.
It sort of makes me want to do the complete opposite.
Word to those mamabithces! Funny how Mommyhood and HS sometimes cross.
Excellent post have a great weekend!
I'm an awful person and I love watching people fall. I'm sorry to say that if I had been watching from across the street I would have laughed 🙁
Sorry about the fall. I fall a lot too.
Your brother SO owes you. =) Hmmm, what will you ask for? *grin*
I'm a Children's author that is Friday following you. Happy weekend. =)
I love your response to not having a girl. Is it weird that I only want boys to escape the drama of a teenage girl's life? I may switch to yours to chnage it up a little!!
Good morning!
New follower from Friday Follows!
I really had to laugh about your brother. Oh that will come back to bite him someday! LOL!
Have a great weekend!
~ Jennifer
I wonder if there is a Motherbitches manual. Because I think the motherbitches I know and the ones you know get have the same exact rules and what nots. This women simply AMAZE me with their ridiculousness.
Phew. That was a mouthful.
Have a great weekend! (avoid the ice) Glad you're ok but I chuckled when I read it cuz it sounds so much like me!!
Ta ta
That's too funny about your brother!!!! 🙂
Great Post! Please visit me at….
just kidding 🙂
Don't you love women who can't leave junior high! And that is too funny about your brother! And hope you're recovering from your fall. I fall biannually and have already taken care of one yearly fall so I'm on the lookout for my next one.
I saw Sunday's – it was funny! i loved her "my personal favorite " commeent on the a74 smack
ing move. 😉
was brother's fiancee's bday near? hoped he hadn't messed up!!
working a hs i see that girl drama EVERY day…i have no more time for it myself after i leave work!
I hate when people do generic things. I'm like, if I wanted a generic comment, I could cut and paste myself!!!!
At least your bro is planning ahead!!
I've seen those comments on your blog before. I wouldn't like them either.
Let us know about the Nintendo game.
Yay Sunday. She kicked my arse fair and square!!
Great post! Please visit me at my blog…
PSYCH.
Just kidding.
You know what? Your Friday Fragments is like the cousin of my Keyboard Confessions.
Tell me, is it hard sometimes to come up with random and yet witty things to share? Because it soo is for me on some days. Like today.
All three of my children are grown, but I definitely remember all the "drama" the two daughters would talk about from their junior/senior high days. It only seemed to affect them and not the son. And now that I have step-daughters, it seems that nothing has changed. Every day these girls come home from school, and it's drama this, bitch that, she said this, she doesn't like me because……..I can't wait until they are out of school. You should have a girl just so you can go through the junior high drama from a parents perspective. HA
BWAA!!! That last one was the best.
We only have one and intend to keep it that way so we are also pelted with those annoying questions and then more-annoying "uh huh, sure, you'll change your mind" responses.
Great post.. Oh wait I am suppose to write more. I think you should see if you could get someone to give away a wii j/k. I loved V/day too and I would have loved to see that room. Wow… There is a Queen in my house which is me and my princess… I hope you have a great weekend. Now stop on by..
OH I am so down with you on the motherbitches thing.. beyond that I left a whole networking site for women simply because of that issue.. My page my friends point blank, dont' start none won't be none.
I loved the Just Dance thing and now have to invest in it. I think it would be a great way to exercise..
I have 3 boys and I too am the Queen of the house, no time to train a princess properly lol.
Totally doing the next Dance Off. I'm serious. And I'm making Leo train with me. Yes, I said train.
Motherbitches. What the hell.
Haha about your brother–now that? Is funny!
I hate it when people ask "So, no boy? When are you going to start trying for that?" It's not like I handpicked the sperm. Asshats.
Go Survivor!! Last nite was good. I think they made a mistake voting out who they did…
Hm. Now I forget what else I was going to write? Oh yeah! I can't stand it when someone writes some totally generic comment. Come on people. I pour my heart and soul out and all I get is a comment about "I'll post your button if you post mine". Whatevs.
xoxo
A package in the mail, eh? Ohmygoodness! And I love the response to your girl-lessness…
I can't walk in hot, sunny weather. I can't imagine myself in ice and snow. I'd look like a walking bruise. I can promise you that! And yes, you deserve free movies for life.
Wha?! We're not in Junior high anymore? SHOCKER! When in the hell did that happen?! Can't stand women who continue to be catty after they've graduated. Grow some balls, would ya?
Happy Friday and have a great weekend! I'm a new follower by the way!! 😉
Hmmm…yes…well it seems that whole Motherbitch bidness isn't something someone grows out of. I thought so but actually the blogging community debunked that theory.
I want sexy things to review and giveaway…justsayin
Tell people you're planning on going all Octomom next year and surely the odds of having a girl from that would be good. If nothing else you may score some free plastic surgery which is really the goal anyway.
I found you through Friday Follow!
I love your sense of humor, you made me giggle this morning! =)
OMG! I have a feeling I know just what you are talking about with the first fragment! hahaha!
I get that people think you need to have both boys and girls in your family. I grew up with both and that was great. I have 2 girls and people always ask me when we'll go for the boy. I wouldn't know what to do with a boy if you gave him to me! I think it works out better for the boys this way! ha!
I HATE it when people don't leave valid comments! When I get comments like that I ALWAYS comment back by saying "thanks for visiting my blog!" In those cases I give exactly what I get.
I absolutely hate grown women who still act like junior high girls–so ridiculous! Grow the F up! What's really scary is that these motherbitches are raising children.
Loooove your response on the not having a girl thing. I'd imagine the look on your face is just as important as the words.
Ugh, I hate when people just pop in to say "Stopping by from SITS" or "Come visit my blog" and don't even mention anything about what you've written. Maybe that's snooty…I don't know, but it bugs me.
I think there's a lawsuit in the making with the movie theater. Go for it! Maybe you can get a reality TV gig out of the deal.
How dare anyone suggest that your famly needs ANOTHER princess. Really! Did I tell you that blah blah said blah blah blah about blah and then blah? Really these women need to get a life or apply for the "Real Housewives of…" show.
Hi great post, please visit me at…
j/k…
Hilarious about your brother, was he thinking he was about to miss her bday? And so sorry about your fall and I so think you should get something from Nintendo for your dancing!
Hope you have a great weekend, I am hoping to leave the house this weekend! Oh and I have your button not sure if you have mine or not I couldn't watch all your scroll.
ok so I think I know what you asked for I will have to go double check but if it is what I think I am excited *blushes a little* if not totally ignore that
oh yea totally hold that birthday thing over his head.
Glad you love new readers since that is me:)
oh I forgot what the hell was up with the heroes last night? do they suck at puzzles or what. James was pissed and from the previews of next week doesn't look like it gets any better.
and Boston Rob can we say drama queen, I think he was faking just a bit!
Found you thru Follow Friday and I'm following now. I loved your Just Dance video! It cracked me up! I even posted about it on my Follow Friday post!
Oh, and please visit my blog@blah blah blah! 🙂
You shoulda totally got a something free from Wii for that!!
Still tee-heeing over MotherBitches.. think you need to copyright the word and have Websters add it!!
Stopping by from Trendy Treehouse to say Hi!
I am adding you so I can come back & read more!
Please stop by!

You are SO right about the whole hating because your friend hates someone thing being ridiculous!! I've definitely experienced my fair-share of being in the haters club for no good reason… And I wanted to say THANKS bunches for checking out my blog and leaving a comment! For someone trying to build up followers to her blog, it's HUGE to have someone new visit! 🙂
Oh my gosh! I was nodding my head and laughing at so many of your things! I agree about the junior high hating somebody because your friend does thing. That's just stupid…and a reason to hate that person. 🙂
Love your response about only having room for one princess. 😉
I too hate the commenters that only say "visit me". I feel like they really don't give a happy shit about my blog and just want visitors. Boo on them.
Can I just say that I think that your blog is too cute?! I have been a slacker and not visited for a few days (thanks for visiting me BTW)! I think it is too funny your brother had you check FB for the B-Day! hehe
I have never understood why people feel the need to interject their opinions about a family being "complete" without one gender or the other. Really?! Why do you care about my family dynamic that much? Go work on your own if it concerns you! 😛
I love your response about having a girl! USE IT! 😀 And if Nintendo gives you that game, I will white girl two step my way into winning it! 😀
Hello!! New follow from FF. Thanks for the support on "the cup"!!
as I'm sure you know—I have had some of that CHILDISH behavior enter my world as of late…MOTHERBITCHES is such a great word for them 🙂
and the slipping on the ice thing–yeah that would totally be me!
I HATE motherbitches who don't grow up. Get on the bus to adulthood ladies…it is adult here!
Oh yes so many bad comments come about being on hand and knees for Valentines day but I'll let it go … LOL just playing.
I say keep asking them you rock they so should give you a giveaway 🙂
People really think a family isn't complete without a daughter? That's weird!
Why would people write that as a comment? That's stupid. Have you noticed? Most people are stupid? Haha…I'm so bitter today!
Oooh Sorry about your fall:( That was sucky I'm sure!
I'm with you on remembering dates and crap! I know the month me and my hub started slee*cough* I mean dating and our anniversary. That's it!
I'm kinda envious about the preschool party:( I remember those day *sigh*.
You're going to Bloggy Bootcamp in Baltimore? AW MAN! I was going to go, but at the last minute pulled out because I didn't think I knew anyone else who was going. I'm bummed. Did you hear there's one not too far from you and I this fall? (Un)Experienced & I are hoping to go, you should come too!

Confessions From A Working Mom
There was actually an article in our local paper suggesting that local businesses clear off the sidewalks in front of their stores. Just a suggestion. Pfft.
"I've decided that my ultimate response to people who think that my family is not complete without having a little girl…despite the fact that we have three children…is to say with an appalled look on my face, 'No way. There is only room for one princess in this house and she is me.'" Oh man, I'm filing this one away for future reference if we end up here. My husband only had brothers, and I only had sisters. Parenthood is going to be interesting, when we get there.
Great post! come visit me at Damaformama. 😉
I hate it more when someone comes by and JUST says, "Visiting from Sits (or wherever) without any comment on what I've written. It's like going to someone's house, ringing the doorbell, jumping back into your car and when they answer shouting out the window, "So great to see you!" and driving away. Or something like that.
There is nothing worse than falling down. Even if you don't hurt yourself, it's so humiliating and demeaning (at least for me – you may be much more graceful than me when I fall).
I used to hate when people asked if we were going to try for a girl. Now that we have one, they always say "Oh how lucky, you finally got your girl" like we would've kept having kids until I popped out a girl. I'm not a Duggar, I have limits.
Denise and Angela APPARENTLY did NOT read this post!!!!!!
I love the motherbitches part! "There are lots of valid reasons to hate me. Pick one of those instead."
your brother with the FB is AWESOME
and this was my fav line
There are lots of valid reasons to hate me. Pick one of those instead.
i feel the same way. and did you coin the term motherbitches b/c i love it with all my heart
That's hilarious about your brother … because it's not just his girlfriend … it's the person he's planning to marry. So funny!
Also love your note to motherbitches. Seriously. If you're going to hate, do it legitimately.
Great post!!! Please stop by my blog!!Blahblahblah!!Juust kidding!!LOL
women like that is why I have noo friends!! I hang out with the dog(boy)and the twins!!:)sometimes my self comes out and plays too!!!Seriously kidding here!!!
I, too, loved the line about hating me for valid reasons…
I'm not following you from Follow Friday, nor am I stopping by to say hi, so feel free to do what you wish…my blog is:
Hopefully, this is a lesson learned for your brother and hopefully she is not a reader of your blog or he is in TROUBLE! Lovin your Friday Fragments.
I am the class coordinator for Brad's class and I helped make smoothies for his Valentine party…but I didn't get the look or the saying of how good it was or looked. Guess he's too old to tell me that kind of stuff. At least I still get a kiss when he gets on the school bus and before bed.
I loved one of your last little quips…the appalled look on your face followed by there is only room for one princess and she is me. Hilarious…and I totally respect that.
http://thepursuitofmommyness.com/
Love your Friday Fragments…I linked to you on my blog today! Have a great weekend!
Awesome post!!! The motherbitches have a millon reasons to hate me too! LOL!
LOVED the princess comment!!!
LMAO!!! That is sooo funny about your brother!!!
I was laughing when I read about people saying things like "great post, please visit at …" and then I scroll down to leave my comment, and that's when I read a comment very similar to the above. That made me LMAO even more!!!
hahahahahahaaaaaaa…!!!
I can't stop!! This is too funny!!
Yes the brother FB thing is TOO funny! What would he do if there were no FB?
1) I like to think that when I fall down or publicly hurt myself, it makes someone else smile. And for some reason, that makes me smile. Schadenfreude.
2) PET PEEVE. I super-mega-loathe when people leave a comment, shamelessly promoting their own blog. Lazy bastards.
I have two boys and my husband recently got a vasectomy and people were against it because I didn't have a little girl! Like two boys isn't enough?! On my rougher days I can feel my tubes tying themselves.
Women are crazy. And great.
oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is irked by those who just comment "come visit me!"
I'm a former teacher too! What did you teach? Do you think you'll go back and teach again?
found you on friday follow!
Also, I just had to scroll through to find someone who actually didn't read your post- Angela and Denise. You should have everyone here send them a copied and pasted generic message or something…:)
Wait, people actually tell you that you need to have a girl to have a real family?
I hope you elbow these people in the appropriate reproductive organs.
I am a new follower thru Friday Follower & I love your blog! I may steal the
friday fragments" idea because I often have little bits to say but not enough for a whole post, good idea!
Damn now I cant leave my copy/paste comment. Totally kidding! "There is only room for one princess" hahaha thats a good one! Today I told my bf I hope one day we have boys that can do the cleaning & stuff, isnt that how it works?! Hey I know you said in a post "I'll protect you from the blog police" and im holding you to this today, I think I did some illegal linking up ha! Have a good weekend =)
I had a boy first, then a girl, and I am forever hearing the comment; "Oh you did it right, you had the boy first! Now you've got one of each and you don't have to worry about it."
WTH?
I don't think I was worried about anything. Best I can recall I was just being careless … uhhh, leaving it in God's hands.
So let me see if I understand this….your brother knows a woman well enought to ask her to marry him, but he doesn't know her birthday??? Oooo, that doesn't bode well for his remembering things like anniversaries, birthdays, and the like. Maybe it won't matter to her, but I wouldn't tell her for a loooooong time!!
🙂
Hey just stopping by to say Hi from Friday Follow!
Happy Follow Friday!

Oh! I can't stand it when people just leave a comment trying to get me to visit their blog! Not interested!
Hahaha, LOVE what you have to say about being the only girl in the fam. Oh man, with my 3 boys and 1 girl, I tell ya, I am SOOOO thankful I have only one girl! There is not enough room for anymore of us in this household. : )
Love this post, love how honest you are. I've missed reading your stuff, I've just been so bogged down with life. : ) Thanks for linking my blog in one of your posts.. that was so sweet of you to mention me. : ) BTW, I'm gonna be redoing my blog design soon too, and will be adding your button. : )
I really do love you. And l love your random post… 🙂 awwwwwwww…. I have had four glasses of wine, hope you still love me! xo
What a good random post! Please check out my blog yours is great!
Ha ha! Just kidding – had to get it in there!
I am still on the fence about trying for a girl, I love my boys but I think I may have to runaway in fear if I got pregnant with another boy! God knows I sobbed for weeks when I found out that Emilio was a boy. I would probably be the unlucky one that would get twins boys or some crap if I tried one more time.
Stopping by for Friday Fragments
Don't fret about what people say- in the long run, I think boys are easier.
Sorry about your fall. Glad you weren't seriously hurt.
Tell your bro yo get with the times and get on FB himself 🙂
I love the idea that there are valid reasons to hate you, so pick one of them. I feel that way all the time!
I am still loving your new look!
I think MOTHERBITCHES just can't handle honesty. And just like you, it's my policy. If you don't want the truth don't ask me. Hell, you don't even have to ask, I offer it regardless! 😀
And, was there some reason why your brother couldn't check her FB page himself? THAT IS future Blackmail material!
Don't feel alone. My depth perception is WAY off and I'm forever falling!
Love the princess remark! You should totally say that! And did you say anything to the people at the movie theatre? You could have really gotten hurt. What if that was an old person. or me?
Wow, 88 comments – I can understand why! So much fodder…
The other day I was stopped by a woman with a mike and a man with a camera (the big ones, you know, for tv?) who proceeded to interview me on what precautions I was taking in the snow and ice. It was the dumbest interview ever. They should have filmed you falling. I love watching people fall. I watch it on youtube all the time.
What kind of people do you know? Who would say your family is incomplete without a girl?? Seriously people.
I like how you call people out (please visit my blog @blah blah). Everybody's so *nice* on the blogs I read, it's good to see a little reality. Though I'm always a little worried that I'm going to somehow be the offender
Stopping by to say hello with Friday Follow. Hope you have had a fantastic weekend.
Felissa
Please stop by my new blog and say hello
http://www.twolittlecavaliers.blogspot.com
http://www.felissahadas.blogspot.com
Ok Felissa obviously did not just read your post! And I couldn't agree with you more about the followers!!!!! I've been trying to find a way to address that issue and you put it quite nicely!
Here through FF (2 days late, welcome to life with 3 kids 😉
I am your newest follower.
Coming by way of Friday Fragments ~
Gee, I think I was here last week or the week before. Hope I wasn't the one who just asked you to come by without commenting. If it was me, I really did read, but since my computer time is after the kids are in bed *which is usually quite late* I am totally not responsible for what my fingers say!
Having said that, you do have a cute blog! LOL
Sorry about the fall. That always makes one feel like a goof….even when no one else is around.
Have a good week!
~ Cheryl
You have quite the sense of humor, my friend; I love that you can laugh at yourself so easily. So glad you weren't seriously hurt when you fell; I can picture the stinging of your hands, and I feel sorry for you.
And while we're on the subject of FB and on making light of heavy subjects, can I just take this space to point out that I have a friend on FB whose updates are nothing but whining and complaining–drives me batty!! (sorry for the random)
Kimberly's comment cracked me up!haha
Thanks for playing FF this week 🙂
I'm a little late but I'm stopping by from Friday Follow. 🙂
