Shoebox of Love 2012 - MOTHER'S DAY PACKAGE TRAIN

[trish1980]

I'm glad I crack you ladies up. I'm the same IRL too. I'm usually laughing...

My sisters are the EXACT same way too. So is my mom. When all of us are together.. we usually cry from laughing so hard. We have been asked to keep it down in resturants. How embarrassing. 4 adults. No Alcohol. And, being asked to "Shhhhhh!". Of course, that made as laugh too.

Since you all like to laugh at me... I will tell a very EMBARRASSING story about me:

I was about 17. I decided(I think TOLD) I had to cut to grass.

We lived in a nice "Italian" neighbourhood. All the old Italian men would sit outside EVERY morning and evening drinking coffee and talking together. Nice folks. Didn't bother me.

We had one of the "pull to start" lawn mowers.

Dress in a very cute tank top and shorts I went to go "start" the mower. I was REALLY pulling and it WOULD NOT START!!

I am one determined gal... so I keep YANKING and PULLING that cord. I'm sure I was cursing a little too. NOTTA.

I then noticed that ALL the italian men were gathered... staring at me... smiling... chuckling. I thought "NICE! Don't offer to help me or anything..."

Again... YANK.. PULL... YANK... PULL.

SUDDENLY I hear my mother YELLING "Leslie, thats enough... COME INSIDE NOW!". I was confused... I was TOLD to cut the grass.. now I am told to come inside. *whatever*

YANK.. PULL.. YANK... PULL... "MOM, you didn't need to come outside.... I will get this stupid thing started. "

MOM: "Im sure you will Hunny, but your breast has fallen out of your tank"

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, all those men staring at me.... trying to start the lawn mower, sure did get a show. My breast must have been bouncing all over the place with all the pulling and yanking on that stupid cord.

SO EMBARRASSED!!!

I didn't have to mow the lawn that day. I don't mow the lawn now. And, I DONT wear tank tops that have "built in bras"

OMG I almost peed laughing. My 2 yr old comes running up to the computer, "I see mommy, I see". Thank you, after the day I've had, I needed that laugh.

She was super embarassed !!

the glow stick worked to get her into the bath thanks trish! however not so much when it came to hair washing.


hubby has always been in charge of bath time until she develop a dislike of the bath, then he just decided not to bath her anymore so it became my job, not fun anyway, back to hubby bathing her and I get yelled at for trying to bribe her into washing her hair with a sticker!! seriously??!! I dont normally bribe her, but come on its a sticker. if a sticker is going to get her to wash her hair - its sooo worth it! i give her stickers from no reason most of the time anyways! sorry for my rant, but REALLY need to!

I would put 2 Gold Stars on your hubby.... I would then rip one off for yelling.

I would then explain to him that he needs 2 gold stars for any "attention after the kiddo is asleep" **WINK WINK**

Glad it worked to get her in. I have to lay my son down in the tub to get his hair washed. He hates water in his face, which is the biggest issue. I also put his head on a bath pillow on the bottom of the tub, he likes that. If you have 1, maybe you can try that?

That sucks about your DH. Stickers are the best bribes.
