Pillow Carnage (011/365)

TIME: 6:58 pm
PLACE: Living room
SUBJECT: Mulder’s kennel

I came home from work to this.

I guess Mulder didn’t like the way his pillow was treating him today.

I’m grateful it wasn’t filled with feathers.

I Get This Type of Humor From My Mom’s Side Of The Family (273/366)

Agent Cedric: Wait. You dropped your phony dog poo.
Blindman: What phony dog poo?

Top Secret, Paramount Pictures, 1984

TIME:  9:32 PM
PLACE:  MonkeyBoy’s bedroom
SUBJECT:  Fake Dog Poop on his pillow

I had to go to Target to buy some bleach for the laundry and while there I checked out the $1 area.  They had some practical joke items including this Fake Dog Poop.  I had to get it.   I placed it on MB’s pillow and waited while he went into his room to go to bed.  I hear him say “Oh my g-d!.  Really…really?  Mommmmm, one of the cat’s pooped on my pillow!”  I walked over to his bed and said “Oh dear, that’s terrible.  Here, let me clean it up for you.”  Then I bent over and picked it up with my mouth.  I heard him gasp as I did so (I wish I had a picture of his face when I did that - it had to be classic).  When he found out that it was fake, he immediately wanted to put it on DQ’s pillow.  She is at a school retreat this weekend and won’t be home until tomorrow afternoon – We can’t wait to see her reaction!

Sleepy Time (363/365)

That poor pillow pet.  Not only have I caught Jack trying to procreate with it in the past, but now the dog has claimed it as her very own headrest.  Looks like a trip to the washing machine is in the unicorn’s future this evening.

My Favorite Son And My Chair (147/365)

Me: “MonkeyBoy, always remember that you are my favorite son.”
MB: “I’m your ONLY son.”
Me:  “There you go.”

Conversation MB and I often have..

TIME:  2:16 PM
PLACE:  School
SUBJECT:  MonkeyBoy

MB’s last full day of grade school was capped off with a ceremony honoring the 6th grade students who are moving on to junior high in the fall.  Certificates were given to students who best represented the district’s different monthly life skills for character words.  MB was recognized for exemplifying Self-Discipline - “..thinking about your words and actions and then making choices that are right for you and others”.  Yes, I teared up during the ceremony.  That’s what mom’s do.

And, because I am excited about it….here is the freshly painted metal chair and an old pillow with a newly sewn cover I whipped up this evening.  That’s one summer project off my ever expanding list – now I need to start on the glider.

PLACE:  Living room
SUBJECT:  StellaDella and Oreo

SD has been obsessed not only with zombies, but also with Pokémon.  She has been diligently playing the Nintendo DS Pokémon Soul Silver game we bought her for her birthday.  Today, I caught her using Oreo as a pillow as she was dressing her Kyogre on her game system.  It doesn’t look like Oreo minds one bit.

These ARE Pillows (362/365)

Neal: Del... Why did you kiss my ear?
Del: Why are you holding my hand?
Neal: [frowns] Where's your other hand?
Del: Between two pillows...
Neal: Those aren't pillows!

PLACE:  The couch
SUBJECT:  New pillows

I received some money from my dad for Christmas and this is what I purchased with part of it – pillows for the living room couch.  I know, I know, you can hardly contain yourself from the excitement of it all.  This is when you know you are an old, boring, married lady – you spend your Christmas money on decorative accessories for the house and then, to top it off, you take a picture of it for your blog.  I am so stinking pathetic.
