Six on Sunday: Things I would do if I flew solo for twelve straight daytime hours

Happy football day!  Did everyone enjoy the Superbowl?  I thought it was especially great when that one guy did that one thing and then everyone cheered.  Right?!  Actually I was cheering for the red team (sorry honey) because my friend Amy's dad works with the quarterback's dad and they played doctor when they were kids.  (Is that accurate Amy?) Ava thought the halftime show was extremely inappropriate ("too many boobies mommy") and yet somehow she knows all the words to Single Ladies.  I might need to do some investigating.

 Ok, a couple of disclaimers first:
1. I L-O-V-E my kids
2. They are just about the two cutest beings on the planet
However:
3. Ian climbed into bed with me and 5:57 AM and asked me to make him 'pantakes'
3. Ava was talking to me at dinner and spit chips into my mouth

Drumroll please!

#1 I would sleep in until 10:30.  Ten is too early and eleven doesn't leave me enough time to take an hour long shower and still make it to lunch. (this would be my bedroom if Ben let me stencil the walls and buy bird themed bedding. I'm not really allowed to redecorate after the whole painting the living room wall purple thing)

#2 I would go through the Starbucks drive through and get a medium (I don't go there enough to even know what they call their medium nowadays) salted caramel mocha poured into two small cups (one for tomorrow) with extra whip cream.

#3 I would leisurely stroll through TJMax, Nordstrom Rack, and Marshalls.  I would buy one shirt for $6.80 and call it a success. (this would be a photo of me if I had significant plastic surgery)

#4 I would go see The Silver Linings Playbook (sorry Christy) at the cheap theater and drink a fountain Coke.  Then I would movie hop on over to theater 2 to catch Les Miserable
a special shout out to Oscar for making it entirely credible to go see a Bradley Cooper movie

all I can think of when I see this girl is Dakota Fanning

#5 I would meet my love at the most crowded and over priced taco place downtown where everything is organic and homemade and written on a chalkboard.  I would drink a margarita with sugar on the rim and eat chips and salsa until my belt needed adjusting.

#6 I would come home, crank my electric blanket up to 11, and cuddle in bed with the three half read books on my nightstand and a cup of hot tea.
this one gets first priority

P.S. I would most definitely go into my babies rooms and smell their heads and marvel at how wondrous they are, but this isn't Seven on Sunday now is it?

P.P.S.  Is it just me or do I sound dehydrated?

  1. You have the ability to make me laugh out loud. Often. I love, and agree with, number 1. Also, and most importantly, is there a way I can help make most of this list happen??? Please say yes.

  2. I, too, laughed out loud. My favorite is #4. Thank you, Oscars. But I must clarify that Colin Kaepernick is a good 10 years younger than me so there was no doctor playing. Glad to hear you were rooting for the 49ers.

  3. Sorry Amy that I made you out to be a pedophile, and Colleen, yes please! I really don't want to stress you out before your big move out west so if there's really a day that you want to come by and hang out with the kiddos just let me know. Thanks girlies!
