Haiku Friday: Black Friday Edition

By ·
Haiku Friday
Black Friday is here
Want a digital frame cheap?
Only until noon!

I am thankful for
the huz, who wakes up early
to shop the big sales

Oh sure, I love Black Friday. The teaser sales are exciting, but the early hours? Eh, not for me. Before we had kids, Aaron and I would pick the sales that interested us the most, then go out together. Now, he goes out for the early morning sales race, and I stay home with the kids. I like this arrangement.

Edited to add:

We struck out this year
too many bargain hunters
not enough product

Haiku Friday: The Big Game

By ·
Haiku Friday
It’s that time again
OSU v. UoM
Quick! Hide your dumpsters!

It’s “Beat Michigan” week here in Columbus, and the city has once again gone crazy with the scarlet and gray fever. I only hope that Ohio State wins this game – and not just because I support the Buckeyes partially based on the fear of what might happen if I didn’t.

It’s also because the drunk, happy rioters setting dumpsters on fire are so much easier to deal with than the drunk, bitter rioters setting dumpsters on fire. (It doesn’t matter if we win or lose – there are always riots, and you can count on at least one dumpster fire.)

Haiku Friday: Toys and Villains

By ·
Haiku Friday
Lead paint, toxic drugs
No toy is safe anymore
Wood blocks for Christmas?

First there was small magnets posing a danger, then lead paint, and now poisonous chemicals that can lead to a coma or death. Seems like every toy is a little death bomb waiting to pounce on our kids. I may be sticking to organic fabric and wood when shopping for gifts for the girls.

Ninth of November
Halloween is over now?
Tell that to my kid.

I’m not sure which is worse – listening to Cordy beg to watch Mickey’s House of Villains for the 78 gazillionth time, or having to sit through it again. Cordy will not accept that Halloween is over, and I’m slowly going insane from it. I think even at Christmas she’ll be walking up to Santa, saying “Look, mommy, a red monster! Happy Halloween!”

Haiku Friday: Visions of Fun Size Bars Pound In My Head

By ·
Haiku Friday
My stomach in knots,
I feel sick, no energy –
Sugar hangover

The one problem with having a child who doesn’t know what to do with candy is that I then eat way too much of it.

Cordy loved trick or treat, had a lot of fun looking at her candy, but has yet to figure out that you eat it. Meaning it’s just sitting in the bowl, taunting me. I’ve been snacking on it for over 24 hours now, giving me the worst candy hangover since I was eight and devoured all of the Reese’s Cups in my stash in one sitting. Bleh.

Haiku Friday: Threatening to Cut It All Off

By ·
Haiku Friday
The sudden sharp pain
It’s like a Vulcan nerve pinch
Let go! Let go please!

I’ll chop it all off
If you pull my hair once more –
That really hurts kid!

After nearly a year of growing out my hair, I’m seriously tempted to cut it again right now. Mira is practicing her death grip, and my hair is her favorite target. Sometimes she doesn’t even look – she reaches upwards and back, finds hair, holds on and pulls. And when that happens, I’m at her mercy, brought to my knees as I beg this little person to please release me.

My hair is too short in the front to be held back in a ponytail. I tell myself that this phase will pass (along with the biting – that will pass, too. Right?), and cutting it all off would be bad. But bald can be sexy, right? It has to be better than having patches of bald spots from a tiny torture specialist.
