I don't know if any of you are " Ask A Ninja" fans, but I will tell you what, if you not...your seriously crazy! I found "ask a ninja" a while ago and I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at random Ninja-ness in my whole life! I love to laugh and this guys makes it possible to do so anytime of the day or night!
I came across this one today and although I didn't actually see the Emmy's..it gave me a good idea of what I missed out on!
So watch( all the way to the end, past all the adds!), enjoy, laugh your pants off and check out more " Ask A Ninja" videos here or even here. Don't forget to press pause on my player at the bottom of my page before you start!~

Thank you!
So I just got a wonderful post comment from Rachel, and I wanted to respond to her personally but at the moment her profile is set to private so I will respond here and maybe she'll happen along again and read it! ;-)
Congrats on your second baby! ( two girls..you are so brave! I have one and everyday I live in fear of that Little Girl attitude! No joke man...) ;-)
I also wanted to let you know that the " imagined scenarios" in my last post are in all actuality true scenarios! Yes, my child is crazy..I know! She get's it from her father.
Now, her incredible beauty, too- much- for- her- own- good smarts and wild infatuation with pretty shoes..that she gets from me.
Thanks for stopping by and checking me out. I feel extremely flattered that the simple musings of my insane life prompted such an awesome reaction! Keep coming back, Im sure there will be plenty more belly laughs to come!

How to raise a cooperative toddler.
I recieved this email in my box today and I thought I would add my two bits on how it went.
When your toddler falls in love with the word "no," it can feel like you've run straight into a brick wall. Here are some tips from BabyCenter parents on how to get your toddler past "No!" and on to whatever it is you need him to do.
Offer limited choices
Ok Little Girl, you can either stop crying or you can send your dear sweet mommy to the nut house..it's your choice.
Respond with humor
Oh yes, isn't that soooo funny when you throw food all over the wall? Yep..ha ha ha, mommy's laughing while she's scrubbing-----what? These tears? Oh, they're just tears of mirth and happiness..really...continue, please.
Turn tasks into games
Ok time to clean up now! Clean up, clean up, everybody every wh.....what? You want to play with this toy..ok here you go.
Oh you don't want it? Well, I'll just put it away then.
No, no, no...don't cry, it's right here see?
What? You don't want it again? Alright....away it goes then.
Wait, wait... no need for screaming, here you go, have it back.
Oh, come on! Are sure you don't want it? Ok, for the last time its going in the toy box.
Seriously! Throwing a fit gets you no where, Little Girl..Im not playing this game any more!
AAHHHHH! You either take it or put it away, we are supposed to be having fun!
Thats it, who wants a snack?
Use reverse psychology
Don't eat that food on your plate, Little Girl. No you don't...not the veggies! No way! * In my mind : You aren't going to eat one bite of that stuff no matter what I do, are you? Fine, I'll resort to bribery instead.* You can have ice cream if you eat it! Oh and look, right into the mouth it goes!
Get his full attention
Hey, you..little girl. HElloooooo? I'm talking to you! * arm raises..points*
Yes, you. Come over here so I can change that Atom Bomb that just exploded in your pants. No, don't you run away, get over here..now! * arm slightly raises..points to floor in front of shoe*
LITTLE GIRL, I MEAN IT! I know your not deaf.. Hey!! * arms raise over head, wave back and forth vigerously*
Oh yes, laugh it up, its soooo funny to ignore mommy. ( continue to wave if the exercise is needed, if not ( most likely in this case), sit down and order The Man to bring Little Girl to you so you don't have to extend the effort.)
Take turns
Alright Little Girl, mommy will take a long drink first and then you can have one, ok? * glug, glug,* Here you go baby, your turn. Yes, that is yummy isn't it? It's mommy's favorite! Alright, my turn. Oh my, whats this?....floaties.... hmmm, why don't you just go ahead and drink the rest, ok?
Don't bother to fight it
Fine sweetheart, you go ahead and play with that really sharp knife, its just not worth the fight today. Oh and Im in a good mood, so if you want to stick mommy's bobby pin into the light socket, go ahead. I know you've been wanting to do that for a really long time now....
Take advantage of "Me do it!"
I know you can honey, but you've been " helping" me put the dishes away for an hour now....mommy needs to move on to the laundry. Oh, you want to do that too huh? Well, let me just call My Life and tell it I won't be showing up today.
Help them learn through teaching
See baby, you can just sweep it all under the rug when your done and daddy will never know the difference! And look at all that extra space under the bed! Its a perfect place for all your toys and dirty clothes, its what I do with mine!
Try alternate phrasing
No:
Nada, uh uh, I don't think so, are you serious?, nice try, maybe tomorrow, do you want mommy to have a heart attack?, go ask your dad.
( note: I don't really parent this way, on most days anyway.) ;-)

Thoughts on Chris Crocker
So there is this kid right..and he's a tad bit strange. (Well, " tad" is probably an understatement. ) Im not sure how old he is but to me he looks maybe 16. He posts videos on you tube and I had never personally seen one until just two days ago when I ran across this one.
Now, I myself, am a sort-of Britney Spears fan..( laugh if you must) I like some of her stuff, but a lot of it isn't what I would choose to listen too. Especially since my children are always within earshot of what ever happens to be on. The Boy is a pretty good parrot of the things he hears and I would hate for him to show up to preschool singing " Boom, Boom Boom, boy you look so sexy!" or " Im a slaaaaaave for you.." Questions would then most definitely be asked. He already walks around the house singing " you gonna remember me, Im gonna remember you!" in the most manly voice he can muster at age four. Yes, britney spears would definitely be a step in the wrong direction.
So this kid on you tube posts this video and Im watching it and Im wondering, " is this kid for real?" Like I said, I like a little britney every now and then, but this......this, to me, is bordering on partial insanity and obsession. You be the judge.
( warning..this video is really, really, really hard to watch..its almost painful, in fact it IS painful! so be aware that you are about to lose 2 mintues and 11 seconds of your life that you will never be able to get back. Oh, and there are a couple of F-bombs too.. just so you know. And to the Cris Crocker fans out there..nothing personal!) ;-)

Friday Fill In!
1. Chips or chocolate? How about chocolate chips..oh yeah!
2. Pickles on your hamburger? More like..Hamburger on my pickles. ( when I was prego with my Little Girl I craved pickle juice..I would drink it from a cup..sick, I know! Actually I used to do that when I was a kid too..I have a salt addiction I'm afraid. hee hee )
3. Baked potato: with everything or.... I love a baked potato with chili and cheddar cheese..oh and sour cream and chives....and salt..*mouth watering, gargling like homer simpson*
4. The perfect meal _____. Anything pasta, preferably angel hair. Or anything The Man makes..since it such a rare occasion! ;-)
5. Martinis, wine, beer or _____. I like a good Shirley Temple..or a pinia colada smoothie..yum, yum! ( not a drinker!)
6. Your favorite pirate is (technically not food, but still yummy)_____. Pirate? As in " arrrr!!" and " shiver me timbers!"? Well, can't say I know too many pirates..personally. But if I had to pick one..( its really a toss up cuz Johny Depp is soooooo sexy) but I was in love with Orlando bloom the minute I saw him leap off that white horse in Lord Of The Rings, him and those pionty ears...mmmm. So I have to say that he is my favorite. Especially in the last "Pirates" movie...oh yeah. ( I won't ruin it for those of you who haven't seen it..but let me just say...that man and his accent shouldn't be allowed to roam free, tempting us marrieds with his charm and impossibly good looks!)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping, tomorrow my plans include sleeping and Sunday, I want to go to church and then come home and sleep! ( note: notice how there is no cleaning in there whatsoever!!)
