Gripes and Gratitude


Gripes up first today:

* With my four year old getting more and more comprehensive, I have had to modify our driving playlist. When I heard Gunner singing "blow my whistle baby, blow my whistle baby" over and over, I decided Flo Rida from the "ride to school playlist" had to go and replaced it with Britney Spears' "I'm a Slave 4 U." Sounds much better coming out of the mouth of a little kid, IMO.

* Ass dimples. And the fact that they are so cute you could eat them up on a toddler, but so not cute and I never want to eat again on an adult. 

* Child-rearing. Sorry to say, but it does not get easier. After the fiftieth time of Gunner yelling from his room at night how much he hates me, and then how much he hates his dad, and then he hates his pillows, his room, his house, my cardigans, his sheets and his stuffed animals, I think he finally fell asleep hating the world.

Gratitude:

* Guess who is ordering the iphone 5 at midnight? I wouldn't normally be so hardcore about it if I wasn't stuck with the iphone 4 after my 4s made it's bed at the bottom of the river. Bigger, better and lighter here I come.

* This boy. He had his pre-school pictures the other day. And seriously?!


The leg cross, the hand clasp...who is this kid? #myheartbreaks

* Hand-me-downs. My dad wore this leather fringe jacket as a two year old. I wore it as a two year old. And now my own two year old? He wears it.

Everything old is new again.

* Speaking of fringe, I just received these fergilicious boots last night...with the fringe, not the fur.


Not kidding, these are "fergilicious" brand. As in Fergie, as in the song.

But remember, with the fringe, not the fur.

Christian Louboutin say what?

* And finally? The weather is getting cooler, and I can't wait 'til the snow pours down. And I can wear my bikini. With my boots with the fur.

Because everyone knows...

Men LOVE the boots with the fur. wink face.

I know I've posted this pic a thousand times. I only do it 'cause Hannah loves it so ;)

  10. Okay how the heck did you accomplish this preordering thing?! I'm currently trying to do so and I'm about to go hate on every single thing in this world just like Gunner. P.S. You rock those fur boots lady!

  11. I'm so glad I'm not the only one to raise an eyebrow when I hear ppl mindlessly singing FLo rida's new song!!!!! eeek! lol

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yeah - I was so proud when Emma busted out some song lyrics about the beer in the console and calling the "po-po"! Made my heart swell!!

    And I'm jealous of the snow in that picture (and the bod) - IF we ever get snow here it's extremely short lived, but we get out in it like it's a winter wonderland. Our Yankee neighbors just laugh at us born & raised southerners!

  13. Is it wrong that I'm just stoked to finally get the 4s now that the 5 is coming out and bring the price of the 4s down? I had the 4s once..for about a week..then some asshole stole it out of my back pocket while I was breaking it down on the dance floor. So I've been stuck with the SHIT iPhone 3 for a year. And there was no way in hell I was about to fork over $700 for a new iPhone 4.

  19. Enough hate on the cardigans, missy. I mean it's not like I'm buttoning them up. I just can't take it anymore. Waaaaah. ;)

    And seriously. Gunner is THE cutest kid ever. I need to pretend he's mine for a bit. Can I at least have visitation?

    ReplyDelete
  20. I dyed laughing "my cardigans"
    p.s I hate that picture out of pure jealousy. Wasn't that after you had one baby? I haven't even had babies and I don't look like that.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Even your son hates cardigans. I love it!

    Someone just clued me in to GOMI a few days ago. I saw the post about you. I laughed my ass off. Do these bitches really think men like maxi dresses?

    ReplyDelete
  22. You're awesome and hilarious. And you have the cutest kids ever. I definitely think there is a lot more to be grateful for. Oh, and now I'm going to have 'boots with the furrrrr' stuck in my head all day long. Thanks ;)

  24. lol about him hating the world, haha. Oh Kids. Though sometimes after long days I wish it wre socially acceptable for me to lash out the exact same way!! His picture is SO cute!!!!

    I'm excited for cold weather too! It was 90 yesterday in Portland, kinda over it and ready to bundle up and drink soup.

    ReplyDelete
  25. What is going on with Gunner?! he better not be hating the world when I get there!! cause we both know I will drink all your wine, take my bra off, and yell at your kids :) I do love that snow pic as well...and must re create. stat. Hurry up Snow!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Haha LOVE this post and love your pictures! Lookin HOT mama!! And yes I was up at 3 AM ordering the iPhone too....soo worth it :)

  27. Love the fringe! i thought i was too cool in my black leather fringe jacket as a kid...maybe not so much. but the boots are great.
    and your lil man is so cute in his pre-school picture. too cute. and photogenic just like momma.

    btw, I'm totally 34 weeks pregnant but after your posts about cardigans and what men like--which I agree for the most part--I went to fredericks and got me some big girl cheap lingerie.
    bc even if i'm the size of a HOUSE (brick house!)
    i still need to look good for my man.

    have a good weekend raven!

  28. Fergie makes cute shoes, surprisingly!
    That preschool picture...might cancel out the shouts of hatred. You could never be mad at that face, even if he hates your cardigans! I think he should duet with my niece, who does a great rendition of "Young, wild, & free" much to my horror.

    Have a great weekend!

  33. You make them boots with the fur look gooooood. Hmmmhmmm girl! I die over Gunner...That kid (well, both of your kids) could totally model and/or take over Hollywood. For real...

    ReplyDelete
  34. i'd kill to walk in a bikini in the snow in totally hot boots...but my body ain't hot and my 6 kids would holla...'ohhh no you didn't'

    ReplyDelete
  35. You sit on a throne of lies. Cardigans? Yeah... You're a sneak little vixen.

    I'm going to make sweet, iPhone love to my 5 when it gets here. Is that weird?

    ReplyDelete
  36. And your cardigans. I die. And by the way, the cutest pre-school pictures ever. I'm totally biased that you have the cutest kids ever. You need to make Gunz a miniature model and make momma some $$'s!

    ReplyDelete
  37. OMG - Gunner's preschool pic? I die! Melts my heart. And boots with fringe?! Sign me up Fergie!

    ReplyDelete
