Gripes and Gratitude

Photobucket

Gripes: I just got one today...

Let's just get it out and say it: that Honey Boo Boo family is effed up. Sorry if my judgmental ways offend anyone, but seriously! There are four daughters from four different men, ALL OF WHOM have arrest records (one for stealing a cart of cigarettes) and the oldest just had a baby of her own who was born with two. thumbs.

Go. figure.

They let their four year old drink RED BULL and one of the sisters was caught on camera dipping the new babies pacifier in red Mt. Dew before sticking it in the babies mouth.

Oh yeah, Honey Boo Boos mom? Well her foot got ran over by a forklift back in the day and she constantly keeps it covered with a sock. Until the day she decided to show the world what it looked like and when she removed her sock, gnats were crawling around and in her forklift toe. 

Honestly, this show is going beyond humorous and is starting to get revolting.

Gratitude:

Vegas baby. In T-minus 28 days. I need it! Adults playground. Rob and I are going with my friend Brandy and her bf. We went to Vegas with them last year and had a blast.

And that's all I got. This post basically sucked but I'm extremely tired and we are leaving at 8 am to spend yet another weekend on the boat at the lake. Trust me, as great as it sounds? Sleeping in close quarters with two young kids isn't all it's cracked up to be. However, my sister and cousin will be joining me so things could be worse.

Happy Labor Day Weekend friends. Drink one for me.

I totally agree with you about Honey Boo Boo, at first it's like oh this is kind of funny but honestly it's just really terrible. I read today that this week's episode of that show got more viewers than the Republican National Convention which really makes me sad for the country. I'm not saying that everyone has to be hardcore about politics and watch the news all the time, but regardless of whether you're Republican or Democrat, you'd think learning more about the person that is potentially going to be our President in a few months is a little bit more important than watching show that's basically just making a mockery of some hick family.

Sad.

Have fun on the boat this weekend! :)

I usually gripe about the lack variety when it comes to our viewing pleasure over here (Asia) but it sounds like I should be grateful for missing that one. Have fun at the lake, hopefully it is puke free for everybody this time ;)

Laura said...

I have yet to watch that show. I want to for the laugh factor, but I just cant bring myself to do it. I am baffled as to how the mother got 1 man, let alone four different ones. She is so obnoxious. Watching them on Toddlers and Tiaras was enough for me.
Have a great weekend!

Kait said...

Thank you so much for posting this...that show is the absolute epitome of disgusting. The only thing I'm left wondering is how she got four different men to sleep with her!

Nikki said...

ew. my thoughts exactly. I'm sorry, but this is so gross. We watched the first episode and my husband (who is Croatian) just kept saying, "Oh my God. This cannot be real." He is now also calling everything redneck but geez louise, I don't even want to see another episode. They're so gross! I expected the Mom to be more ignorant to how disgusting things are but she's totally aware!

K said...

I agree. I watched the show once just to see what it was about. It's horrible. The woman is seriously lacking in parenting skills which is evident in her children. These poor girls never stood a chance.

Britt ♥ said...

Want to hear something even more horrifying? That thumb deformity is a recessive trait that is only seen in inbreeding...so...yeah.

Mallory Castleberry said...

What's sad is Shows like that are why people think , Georgians are hicks. We are all not like that I swear!

Alicia Marie said...

An extra thumb?! The only thing that comes to mind is that she reproduced with her cousin, creating the extra finger, insest is not the best people! And yes, I'm convinced those bugs grew in that toe. BARF. Anyways, have a lovely weekend! :)

Kate said...

This show leaves me baffled! I'm more shocked that these four different men managed to get it in the proper location for pregnancy... Sorry to be vulgar.

I'm insanely jealous of your Vegas trip!

Amy said...

Oh-em-gee, I watched that show the other day for the first time because I wanted to see what all the hype was about......pretty sure they just picked the trashiest most f'ed up family in America and shoved some cameras in their face. Their eating habit and weight is horrible! Hey that's one way you can feel better about not losing weight, watch them and realize that you are a f-ing supermodel compared to that hot mess!!

2 thumbs? Oh hell, why does that not surprise me? You could have told me the baby was born with a 3rd eye and I would have been like "yup, makes sense when you are born into that family. Good f-ing luck kid."

Love your blog, love your honesty, jealous of your boat. The end.

Sam said...

Wow. Honey Boo Boo. I haven't watched the show, but I've seen the previews and those are enough! The first words out of my mouth 'Holy shit I hope they are NOT from Kentucky'. Have fun in VEGAS! Super jealous :)

I have not been the least bit interested in watching "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." Thank you for ensuring that doesn't change.

Have a good weekend!

Shalyn said...

OMG RAVEN. Read this. You will not believe your eyes...http://www.buzzfeed.com/whitneyjefferson/honey-boo-boos-sister-had-a-baby-with-two-thumbs Read that please. I love you!!! Have a wonderful weekend my little Honey Boo Boo! :)

Kim @ wanderlustee.com said...

oh dear.

ive never watched this show...mostly bc i dont know when it's on..and also i just see the craziest clips on the soup.

but i used to be obsessed with mt dew (now diet coke is my vice of choice) and all my friends would send me these links to news articles about "mt dew mouth" basically this outbreak in the south of babies/kids with effed up teeth and mouths bc their parents were feeding them mt dew in bottles and/or on pacifiers i guess. i mean, what goes through your brain that you'd do that to your child? even if you eat like crap or drink soda you'd think by now you'd know it's wrong and not force it on your children. and remember that mom in like ohio or something that got her son taken away from her bc he was obese? how can that happen but then a family like this gets on tv and noone steps in like yo, you need some parenting workshops!!

lol, obvi this is all based just on what i THINK is happening on that show, but i dont think im too far off!

Debby said...

I so agree about that show. I wanted to watch it the first time. I had seen some of the previews and went to watch Honey not the rest of them. I think my outh was open the whole time in amazement. I saw part of the show at the water park. Our station must have blocked the foot reveal. Thank heavens as I wouldn't have gotten that out of my mind. When the young pregnant girl was about to go into labor just made me sick. Not watching it anymore. That poor young girl not understanding the pain she was in. So sad that this family is being laughed at. Of course they would sign on for the show, they would want the money. I feel sad for them. Maybe, just maybe they will get someone to help them with some of their issues. I think alot of people probably watch it because their isn't much else on TV.
Have a good crowded week-end at the lake. Just being the water would make me happy.

The Odd Broad said...

Is it true that they mix pixie sticks in with the mountain dew/red bull concoction? My friend just told me that the other day- I'd never heard of Honey Boo Boo before then- living under a rock! So disturbing though!

Cara said...

Hahaha I love that show! They are so redneck it is like watching a car crash.

Ashley said...

Love to hear that you are going to Vegas - I leave for Vegas tomorrow actually! yay! :) happy weekend!!

Coug Britt said...

and WOW what a nice sister you have for agreeing to watch your kids all weekend long you are in Vegas especially asking AFTER you had already bought the tickets. She deserves some kind of award. and raven, thats not very nice to make fun of the innocent baby.......

Tiffany @ Polka Dotted Cats said...

My only question: Who is actually awful enough to have sex with that lady and her forklift toe in the first place? Barf. Total barf.

Kristine Foley said...

Forklift toe?! HAHAHAAHAHA!!!

Kelly { MessyDirtyHair } said...

Happy friday raven! wish i was coming to the boat this weekend its so fun...but instead ill just live it through your pics via instagram! xoxo Kelly

Megan said...

Have fun with your family this weekend!! I agree w Kelly, we can all live vicariously through your instagram! Haha

Oh & that honey boo boo show, at first had its funny moments but now is SO disturbing!! P.s how did the mom get all those men to sleep with her? Shocker they all have a rap sheet! Lol

Bethany Scruggs said...

Ok.. legit... when I read "two. thumbs. go figure" I thought I was going to get fired for all the ruckus coming out of my office. I mean, I honestly, I haven't laughed that hard in a while. You are crazyyyyy. LOVE you.

Cassie @ Live.Laugh.L0ve. said...

Ummm.. I think I just through up in my mouth a little reading that gnats crawled out. But on a plus side - YAY for vegas!!!

Cassie @ Live.Laugh.L0ve. said...

Or threw up* whatev. ;)

Raquel said...

I completely agree with you about Honey Boo Boo...I couldn't get through 3 episodes. I was just like...Ok i can't do this anymore lol. That show is disturbing and the family is the most dysfunctional family ever!

adifferentkindofflair said...

Could not agree with you more Raven!! I'm not really sure what the point is in the show, but it certainly can't be to inspire little girls to be ladylike...

Judy said...

Vegas? I'm jealous.

Whitney @ Everything Happens For a Reason said...

Honey Boo Boo's mom's toe was gross! I can't believe there was so many gnats. I mean, does she not bathe? Eww.

Kenzie Smith said...

I still haven't gotten around to watching that show.. and now that I know about the mom's nasty toe I am pretty darn glad that I haven't! Ugh that is absolutely revolting! You'd think that they would try to take better care of themselves haha.
I am so envious that you are going to Vegas! I have been wanting to go for quite a while haha.

kundaiemily said...

I think i just want to see one episode of this ridiculousness! Have fun in vegas!

Janna Renee said...

I found out my friend was on the film crew for that, and I told him that I am going to fly to Florida, so that I can smack him in the face for taking that job. In his defense, I'm sure he had no idea, but how could you even stay on set during the filming? I refuse to watch it. Haha.
