That is ramsey's impersonation of me for the day. When asked why he doesn't answer me, he responded, Oh, I thought you were just doing your usual: blah blah blah I like to make noise blah blah blah. I didn't realize you were looking for an answer.
Good thing I'm not oversensitive. Or feeling over-dramatic, like I was on the commute home when 25 mph winds had me riding at 235 watts and going 4 mph downhill. The whole world is turning against me, the earth hates me, this wind is trying to murder me and I'm just going to walk this bike home. At least I was wearing this:
(Yep, bad hair day.. I'd just shed the helmet and my hair turned orange when I got bangs.) There is much work to be done. Just look at the jersey. It's about three sizes too big and flaps like a parachute. But it's starbucks.
At dinner I realized just how much misinformation we're feeding our children. It occurred to me after Wyatt asked who invented rice. And Ramsey said Jerry Rice. I mentioned that maybe we should stop filling their heads with crap, and he pointed out what I had just said to Sky in response to her complaint that her milk tasted rotten: It's juice squeezed out of a cow, did you expect it to taste good? While totally true, probably a little too opinionated for my five year old's brain.
I meant to go swimming today.. but I forgot. There's always tomorrow, I guess. I'm not going to get too down about my swim slackerdom. It was a hard enough day with all that work and wind and stuff. I don't want to wind up suicidal, like my poor daughter, who I found asleep with her head in the oven.
Ha ha ha ha ha! LOVE the picture of Sky - that's too much. Yeah, I hear you with the 4 mph +235 watts + downhill. Yeah, those rides just suck. NICE jersey! Too big? Who cares? Its COFFEE!!
ReplyDeleteYour 3x too big jersey is about 2x too small for me, but should fit in about 2 months. Just putting that out there :D
ReplyDeleteOne day when they are older they will remind you of all the stuff you told them. Probably loudly and infront of people.
ReplyDeleteLie to your kids while you can. Before you know it, they will know the truth about everything, and will take great pleasure in telling you.
ReplyDeleteCool Jersey, where did you get it? I want one !!!
Mu husband is like that to me. I think it is all blah, blah, blah to him. Loving the jersey :-)
ReplyDeleteI just have to say Rachel, your blog entries always make me laugh! I never leave your site without a smile on my face... Thanks! :)
ReplyDeletei hope that you smacked ramsey! hard.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that photo of Sky is hysterical. I think I just spit coffee at the screen laughing.
ReplyDeleteWhere in the world does one get a Starbucks jersey? That may actually motivate me to ride again...maybe.
ReplyDeleteWhen you get sponsored by starbucks what does that mean..wow...I think it means you REALLY like coffee. I know, I know, you probably just bought the jersey or someone knew of your addiction and gave it to you. Love the picture of Sky..and you thought you had a hard day. Poor girls going to bake herself to death.
ReplyDeleteNICE jersey! Love it! I've got to go get a latte now . . . :)
ReplyDeleteI thought filling your kid's head with crap is the purpose of being a parent?
ReplyDeleteYou are HIGHlarious. I want one of those jerseys!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved my easy bake oven all those centuries ago...never thought to put my head in it though.
ReplyDeleteIf you start swimming your shoulders will fill out the jersey better.
ReplyDeleteThat's so Sylvia Plath.
ReplyDeleteYour post was so funny, especially the picture of sky. I think you should keep telling your kids funny stuff. I like the Jerry Rice comment.
ReplyDeleteJerry Rice didn't invent rice? Shy's picture is hysterical.
ReplyDeleteYou should move to Seattle, and here's why:
