Mommies are special

So this mother's day was great! There were 8 mothers total and then on top of that, the game was "How Down Are You with Your Kids' Lingo?". My brother asked the kids the latest slang and mom's had to guess what it all meant (i.e. "That's mad money" means "That's a lot of money"; "Do me a solid" means "Do me a favor" - which my mother got, thank you very much, someone get that woman a bandana and throw up her gang signs! lol). The "trophies" were barbies (all with different halter print dresses w/ a champagne glass stand), and the prize was a very cute, "limited edition" tote bag.

Anyway, so the weather was right and the weekend was more than I expected it to be. Oh boy did my American Express take a hit!

Joaquin became the Drill Sergeant this time around with cleaning the downstairs den. After he was done, that placed looked like a new room altogether and my dad cannot stop talking about the cleanliness of it til this day. I think Joaquin scored 3890753 brownie points w/ my dad without knowing it - my dad is a clean freak. After that, Joaquin came over and it was like "Where's Joaquin?! Tell him to eat now", "Where's Joaquin!? Ask him if he wants coffee". Teacher's pet!! Lol - j/k!

The special topic of my dad this weekend was kid laziness. We noticed some of my younger nephews are getting LAAAAZY around the house (or at least super picky with the things they do)!!! Some kids need a good whipping! Now I know what my dad was talking about all these years - "that's not child abuse, that's discipline!". Amen. Then I'm reading something about one of my nieces being a slob at that age!!!?? Nooooo waaay!!! That shit does not fly in my book!! When I have kids.... I will feel sorry for their asses if they ever get lazy on me. I have no problem spoiling my kids - only if it is earned. I don't even want you in my house if you are that lazy! Laziness just shows you have no respect or gratitude for the things and privileges you have today! (roar!)

Anyway...

Mommies are special -- Happy Mother's Day!
