Happy Potluck day everyone.

It is Monday! Can I get a whoop whoop? OK, if you aren’t up to that, just lift up your hands and raise the roof a bit…
Today I am calling in the ice cream truck for treats:
We spent an absolutely perfect day at the park this weekend that ended with a visit from the ice cream truck. It doesn’t get much better then sticky minivan seats and blue dyed hands and mouth. Oh, and the blue Popsicle pops also had random gumballs lodged throughout. Perfect to feed your 2 y/o in the car. Can I get a whoop whoop? OK, if you aren’t up to that, just lift up your hands and raise the roof a bit…
The ice cream truck thing might make up for this hypothetical occurrence:
Would it be hypothetically wrong for a hypothetical mother to hypothetically lock her hypothetical three children out on the hypothetical back porch for a hypothetical moment of silence and hypothetically photograph it? Just a hypothetical question…
Since there aren’t any major tree decorating holidays in the near future, let me just share what happened here the other day:

Merry Construction!
Yeah! It’s time for another installment of…

I have been feeling a little guilty here at the Nirvana for mocking how my dear readers arrive. That is wrong. It shouldn’t matter how you get here. You are here now and that is what matters. On the other hand…
1. If you googled, “pictures of Joan Cleaver”, I am so sorry that you didn’t find any of those. Might I suggest you mean June?
2. If you googled, “nude Easter bunny waking”, I would email Google up ASAP and file a complaint. Google should know better then to send you here.
3. If you googled, “put down the cleaver”, my answer is yes, please do.
4. If you googled, “fritos on the floor”, I know who
you are and you might want to check your Google results for any unusual search results regarding a certain Holiday Dog.
5. In a disturbing trend, googling “june cleaver nude” has overtaken googling “june cleaver naked” this week by 5:1. In either case, you know
Nirvana policy. That is just wrong.
6. If you googled, “it feels so good to let me show you how I feel” then you are welcome and I am glad to help.

I have to share a moment of successful mommyhood. Ryan(7) said this to me the other day, “I guess it is better then nothin'”. WOW! I know to most that wouldn’t mean much, but to have those words come out of Ryan who has been a give him an inch he will take 5 miles while debating the merits of taking another 105 miles and then declaring that he won’t even take the inch next time unless he is guaranteed the additional 105 miles kinda boy since birth, this is major. MAJOR!
Oh! A few more days left to get your name into my very first give away. Click
here and leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of
Jenny Gardiner‘s book “Sleeping With Ward Cleaver”!
So there you have it. Today’s potluck. I guess it was better than nothin’. Can I get a whoop, whoop? OK, if you aren’t up to that, just lift up your hands and raise the roof a bit…
Sniff sniff I don’t want your stupid award anyway! Don’t mind me I’ll just sit in the corner and cry.
Excellent potluck. I hypothetically considered locking Girl outside this morning at 4:00 when she started crying (crying! at 4:00 AM!) about the stuffed cat I wouldn’t buy her yesterday at Marshall’s.
Don’t even get me started on what happened at Marshall’s and after.
Congratulations on all your awards. You deserve every one. And thank you so much for the award you shared with me!
I lock my kids out every now and again and usually their father and the damn dog with them. Now how is it that you are just raking in the awards, like every week? Makes for a pretty special potluck with all that love being thrown around.
This pot luck was very satisfying, but I find myself secretly wishing someone would have brought the ILLSA dish, good thing the “who googled this” side was oversized and especially filling today.
BTW Thank you thank you thank you for the mention and for the “Iloveyouthismuch award.”
KEEP BELIEVING
I hypothetically love the fact that you hypothetically locked your kids out for a hypothetical moment of silence…Genius!
I for one applaud you for the lock-out. Sometimes ya just gotta lock the door for a minute, ya know? congrats on the awards–the tiara is especially spiffy 😉
Thanks for the bling. I will inform my family that my tiara and I are Princess for the Day.
Love the Merry Construction Tree!
Hypothetically, I would totally have done that when my kids were little. Now, I just leave–another upside of teenagers.
Congrats on all your well-deserved awards.
Great googly-moogly!! June Cleaver Nekkid is what I searched for…it didn’t show up? Crazy crazy. *lol*
And locking the kids on the porch, theoretically – not a have bad idea, theoretically. It’s not like they’re in theoretical danger, they aren’t out of your theoretical sight, they are just theoretically out where you cannot hear them so that you can have blissful theoretical peace.
Awwww, our first major award! Thanks. Can I get a leg lamp w/ that? No? Too much? It’s all good.
