Bluff charge and the bear whisperer.

Noah obviously enjoys his new airplane from the Dollar Store.  In the hour that he tossed it around the yard there was only one expression on his face.  I suspect it to be childhood concentration but it looks like adult constipation.

This thing was worth all 100 pennies and truth be told Noah bought it for himself with all the money he has made getting himself dressed in the morning.  Hey if he wants to wear a pajama shirt, jeans, and his wubba (rubber) shoes that is fine by me.  I have enough people to get dressed in this house.  One down one to go.   I love that a dime is enough to get him to do just about anything, from getting dressed to Swiffer sweeping the house.  Ten cents is as good as offering him twenty bucks.  Pretty sweet gig I got going on here.



In other news my packet from the Fish and Game Department came yesterday.  If you don't know why I would need such information you can catch up here.


Yup there it is.  Some real pearls in here guys.  Lets see, for starters they tell you that if you see a bear that you should start singing.  That should deter the bear and you will be fine and dandy.  Welp I can attest to the fact that the bear I was dealing with did not care in the slightest when I yelled and screamed and I am sure he would not have cared if I started singing.  OK OK maybe there is some other good life saving advice buried in here lets see lets see.  Oh here.  A bear will BLUFF CHARGE when scared.  STAND YOUR GROUND!  DON'T SHOW FEAR!  Oh really.  I know what would happen.  I would shat myself.  Then die.  Of a heart attack.  Then get eaten by the bear.
My favorite part is coming up...wait for it.

All these bears trapezing through MY yard.  Playing on MY KIDS swing set.  Eating MY APPLES.  Well ladies and gentlemen that is a success story.  Okey dokey folks.  Well I am having great success here living in terror of anything that moves in the woods.  Hope you all had a great weekend.

Imperfection at its peak!

I have been horrible this week.  Just plain irritable, emotional, short tempered, horrendous!  You name it I have been it.  Sadly, I think I am still in the throws of it now.  Both of the kids have been sick which is just the pits.  Runny nose, coughing, puking, 400 loose stool diapers a day makes for a type of exhaustion that could only be matched by running the Boston Marathon.  To top it off my daughter is not one of those cuddly quiet sick kids, she fights the illness with everything in her and WHINES incessantly, following me around the house crying and hanging off my leg.  I will set her all up with blankie, bubba, binky all cozy on the couch and then go in the kitchen to attempt starting dinner and within two minutes she is standing under my legs crying and reaching for uppie.  So onto the hip she goes and we end up with a sore arm and a half hazardly thrown together meal. The point of this rant is that I am...

Every time I go to Market Basket, or as I like to call it HELL ON EARTH, I pick up the New Hampshire Parenting magazine.  I pick it up because one I am to cheap to subscribe to a real parenting magazine that is more then 5 pages long and two because maybe there will be a idea for something to do with the rug rats locally.  In this particular edition the editors note was quite interesting...enough so that I was able to read it out loud to my husband and he didn't just nod and pretend to care while staring at the Ipod screen. It was about how the largest teachers union in New Hampshire recently banned field trips to the State House due to the fact that you are allowed to carry a gun while in the State House.  Now hold your fire all my anti-gun parents out there, but this is just ludicrous.  For years the State House has hosted a read-a-thon and many politicians and local celebs have come out to read to groups of kids that are there on school sponsored field trips....

Today marks the fifth straight day of rain.  I dropped Noah off at school and headed to Savers in Nashua.  If  you don't know what Savers is let me enlighten you.  It is like a Salvation Army/Goodwill that is a little cleaner, more organized, and has enough shopping carts.  Anyone that has shopped at a Salvation Army knows that you have to damn near claw somebodies eyes out to get a carriage.  Even then it is some Market Basket cast off with one wheel that doesn't touch the ground and another that makes a high pitch squealing noise.  This is great when you are a kid though because no matter where your mother tries to hide you will find her. I know a lot of people would not be caught dead at a second hand store but I was raised on second hand stuff, be it from the Salvation Army or the cousins.  So this morning, in light of absolute boredom, I decided to make a trip and see what Savers had in store.  Honest to Go...
