Ryan says to me, “Mom – how do you wake up Lady Gaga?”  Emily quickly interrupts “Poke her face!!!”.  Of course Ryan gets mad and tells Emily that was HIS joke and that she ruined it.  I don’t care, I thought the joke was pretty funny either way.  This is just some of the conversation that often transpires during our bi-weekly visits to meet their dad.  I could make t-shirts with some of the funny stuff they say.

I am working on a list of music to add to the iPod for these trips with the emphasis on songs that each of the kids hate to encourage good behavior.  So far I’ve learned that Ryan hates Miley Cyrus (except for Party in the USA) and Emily hates that very song.  So, guess what I’ve added?  You betcha – Party in the USA.  Next trip should be fun.   .   .  and no, I am not torturting my kids.  They asked for it last time they let out stinky gas without rolling down a window, or the time they fought for 20 minutes straight, or the time they had a french fry fight in the car and I had to hear about it from David every time we got in the car (Love ya!).

After checking out at Sam’s, Adrian says “That cashiers clan tag said his name was Adrian”. Ya think maybe he plays a little too much Call of Duty?  This is what happens when I take him out into the real world.

Achievement Unlocked – Bricked Xbox 360 (and not due to RROD). Throw in a 3-4 week repair time and it makes for a bummed out kid eager to play 2 new 360 games. Add the defective out-of-box controller and you have an irritated mom. Gotta love Xbox.
