Terrible Toddlers and Chocolate Confessions
It's Friday, and this has been a long week - my husband has been out of town on business, so I've been doin' the damn thang by myself for a few days. He's back now, thank goodness, which means the boys will finally have someone to pummel other than each other. Because boys are wrestle-y by nature, but I prefer it when they wrestle with their dad because at least he doesn't cry and tattle after a few minutes.
Anyway, since my brain is pretty much fried from the day-to-day events of the past week, this is going to be a very random post of bullet-pointed things.
Thing #1: Toddlers, man.
I have long maintained - through three kids, even - that whoever coined the term "terrible two" was delusional. That three is far worse than two.
But I'm pretty sure my two-year-old, Corbin, is actually in the throes of terrible two-dom. You wanna know why?
So either I've got a child who is ACTUALLY experiencing the "terrible twos" ... or his threes are going to be hellish beyond my wildest dreams. Either way: gray hairs.
... And big hips. I'm going to blame those on him too. I mean, I'm sure he's responsible in some roundabout way.
Thing #2: The Walking Dead comes back on this weekend OMGOMGOMG.
I am so freaking excited. I've never, ever missed a single episode. I caught up on parts of the marathon they had this week after the kids went to bed. Wednesday evening, I flipped back and forth between The Walking Dead and the Teen Mom 2 Reunion Special and reflected that my tastes in TV are pretty weird. Anybody else??
Thing #3: You guys need to win stuff.
I reeeeeally need to revamp my Giveaways and Reviews page (and my blog in general), but until I do, here's a list of the stuff you can currently win from The Frump, conveniently hyperlinked so all you gotta do is click and you're set up to enter:
$100 Visa gift card from Vanity Fair! ← because hello? Free money??
A Pur Water Filtration product soooo new, it hasn't even hit store shelves yet (and I'm giving away THREE of them!)
And next week, I'll be giving away one of these:
That's right. They are DELICIOUS AND EDIBLE CHOCOLATE GAMES. Although .......
*deep breath*
This week I was PMS-ing so hard and Curtis was gone and I was desperately in need of chocolate so I ate the entire Monopoly set by myself. This is my confession.
*hides face*
Anyway, I've also got a few other fun giveaways coming up (if I don't, you know, eat them), so check back regularly!
Thing #4: I'll have some big news to share next week! Hint: I'm going to be in a book with some amaaaaaaazing writers (including the hilarious Hannah Mayer of sKIDmarks, whose guest post about asshole goats and injured vaginas was a huge hit around these parts)! And you're going to want to buy it, because the proceeds go to benefit a fantastic cause. Are you curious yet?
Okay. I think that's all the things, although I will inevitably remember ten more once I hit "publish."
Happy Friday, y'all!

Because I told him he couldn't eat mustard for lunch.
Because I told him to take his brothers' toothbrushes out of his diaper.
Because he's just a bossy little beast.

I SWEAR my daughter was her "terrible twos" since the day she was conceived. It's gotten better now that she's 4. But we still have some melt-downs. So, yeah, "terrible twos" is not necessarily exclusive to being "two".
ReplyDelete"I ate the entire Monopoly set" - LOL!
ReplyDelete& I totally agree on the Terrible 3's! I breathed a sigh of relief that my daughter was such a wonderful child that she skipped the Terrible Two's, only to be b*tch slapped in the face w/ the Terrible Three's!
I feel your pain with the toddler thing. Mine is worse because he can't speak yet and you have to kind of guess what's wrong. I can't reach my car, I dropped my car. I want a biscuit. It is usually one of those.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand about eating the choc by the way.
Corbin may be kind of evil, but he's SO cute.
ReplyDeleteI've eaten all the chocolate too. Sometimes it's needed.
ReplyDeleteI was excited about The Walking Dead too! Awesome show. And I also watch Teen Mom. Not as awesome, but I can't help but tune into the drama.
Oh my gosh... how did I miss this post? I am laughing so hard at the toothbrushes in the diaper!
ReplyDeleteAnd equally excited about our big announcement!!!
Shoulda caved on the mustard. But I'm just an evil cow... :)
ReplyDeleteAh yes, two little boys. They're older now, but I'm still needing chocolate binges.
