Guns, Toddlers, Church, Dogs, OH MY!!!!

question: can you see the photos on this post?????

The one thing that you cannot stand in life will become your child's favorite thing of all time! I cannot stand pets. Dogs, cats, whatever, but, when my son sees a dog, his eyes light up and he always wants to go where the dogs are.

Bless his heart. And there I am always all for it. Yes, of course you walk this little dog. He is so cute. Of course he is. Please don't pick the dog up. Just hold the leash and let's walk.


Yes, we can go to Pet Smart to see the dogs today. Yes, we can go and see the birds at the farmer's market. Of course! Fun Times! *sigh*

My son loves going to church. We should go more often. I know! The funny thing, he still talks about vacation bible school and the memory verses are still fresh in his mind. I ask him every now and then to get a chuckle. He is so proud of it. Here we are in the kiddie room at church. I know there's an official name of the room but, kiddie chuch sounds so cool doesn't it.
Everything's going great......





The lesson is great, the songs are cute and then my son decides that the music sticks would make a perfect gun and starts shooting it. Why me???????? He uses everything as a gun and proudly does the shooting noises and everything!




I'm sure the kiddie church teacher didn't appreciate my son's shooting noises one bit. **sigh**

Pugg That!

I am NOT an animal lover.
Edited to add: THIS confirms what I've been telling ya'll!!! Dogs are UNPREDICTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's NO secret. I don't pretend to like animals. My favorite are the owners who swear up and down that their precious Rosco would NEVER harm a flea!

Don't get me wrong, I would NEVER kick your cat just don't expect me to be all happy to see your pets. I watch the Dog Whisperer all the time. I LOVE that show. But, it doesn't change my mind about animals. Dogs in particular. Cats?? Please don't even get me started on their sneaky behinds!!!!!!!!

Let's fast forward to what happened the other day at the park. I have come to realize that if you have a dislike your kids will almost always LOVE it.

My son LOVES DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He will break his neck to say, "Hi Doggie, Hi Doggie, Mommy look at the Doggie!"
Urrgh!!! I cannot stand it!!! Then of course, I have to fake the -----ohhhh yes, i see the Doggie. Be careful don't touch the Doggie. Just wave hello!

We're at the park, and in comes this little girl with her Pug. My son throws his sand toys clear across the way to get over to this girl and her dog. My immediate reaction is to run after him, sweep him up and wash him down from all the licks the dog was giving him. The freaking dog was licking my son. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been around pugs before and I've never known them to get violent around kids. But, then again, dogs are dogs, UNPREDICTABLE!

Now here I am hovering over my son praying this dog does NOT bite him and the little girl says, here you want to take him for a walk?

What do you think my son did?

Yup, you guessed it. Eagerly grabbed the leash and off they went!!! My son was so happy with the dog! I wish I had a closeup! Cheesing the entire time!!



I took a picture of it. Of course I did! I cringed the entire time but, smiled and tried to keep from freaking out. Once I figured out a way to get him away from the dog, I got him to the car, wiped him down and tried to send telepathy messages to him to stop liking dogs so much.

Well, it goes to show you, the one thing you HATE will probably be the same thing your kids will LOVE.

Before you send me hate mail or a photo of you and Rosco or long stories of how your pets are so good around animals, blah, blah---Please, DON'T.

Thanks.

Question: What's the one thing you cannot stand but, your kids LOVE?

How adventurous are you?

When it comes to trying new foods?

I'm married to a person who has eaten EEL, Snake, Dog, and I'll stop here because I feel like Veeing a little just thinking of it.

I on the other hand am very very CLOSED minded when it comes to trying new foods. Heck, I tried THIS and could NOT finish it. My husband said, 'at least try it. it's RUDE to not try it' He is so smart!

Thank GOD my friend who so graciously invited us over for dinner did NOT see when I transfered my food to D's plate!

I thought to unwrap it and just eat the insides but, then I just chickened out! I was so relieved there was salad to stuff myself with!

Everytime I tell myself to just try a new food every now and then, I think about the Fear Factor show and pass.

So, tell me...what is the most exotic food you've eaten and LOVED or HATED?

My Morning Rant about Dogs

Warning--If you're a dog lover and a grammar expert, you may get offended by this, so it's up to you whether or not you want to read the following:

What's the deal with this one guy who walks his dog with OUT a leash every morning? This one particular morning I was not in the MOOD to cross the street. I've been crossing the street every time I see this guy coming. I'm getting really annoyed just thinking about it again!

I yelled out to him, "is your dog on a leash?" (rhetorical question of course) since I could clearly see the dog was NOT on a leash. He says, oh don't worry, he won't hurt a fly. Then he put the dog on the leash that was stuffed in his pocket. Geez, you mean to tell me, you had a leash but, thought it unnecessary to put it on your dog?

I'm really annoyed. You know what, if he's out walking the dog tomorrow with OUT a leash, I'm going to follow him home and report him. To who? The Pet Police? I'm just so annoyed that he would walk his dog with OUT a leash. Dogs are unpredictable and I thought there was a law against walking a dog with OUT a leash. Urrgh! I guess this is my hint that I should NOT walk early in the mornings anymore????

There goes my mission to get rid of the extra 25 pounds that will NOT seem to leave my hips!! Oh and it doesn't help that I see these two ladies power walking every morning and they are clearly in their 60's. Power Walking at age 60????? *sigh*

This reminds me of the lady who told me her dog would NOT bite me because he doesn't like black people!!! Yes, you read that correctly. Some people are just plain nuts! Maybe I'll blog about that at another time. It happened last summer but, it's still a pretty funny story. Funny but, not like haha funny. Nevermind.
---Awwwww....Yes, I love it and my friend Kelli could NOT stop laughing because she was there to witness the fun!!
