STYD: Our Lives Are Forever Changed…and It’s Funny!

By Christy 4 Comments

I told y’all it was chaotic while the girls were here and I told you it got crazy. My “big” girls are grown and with grown children comes crazy adventures. Bry is 23 and although Paetyn is only 18, her boyfriend, CJ, is 21. They brought the wild with them and here’s where our story begins. 
Night 2 of our visit got a little out of control. CJ is a hot mess. He’s probably one of the funniest people I’ve ever met in my life, one of the ones I can count on one hand kind of funny. He had us all in stitches the whole trip but night 2 might win the prize. 
He wanted us to drink together after the babies went to sleep. He wanted to “party” with his future in-laws (oh my stars!). And so this young man headed to the store. No one could have ever imagined what he would come back with. King Cobra. No lie! Who does that? CJ does and he thought he was oh-so-funny and no one could disagree. But, heaven help me, they actually popped those tops. They started drinking this nightmare of a beer. And it hit them…hard!
Next thing you hear? CJ: “I’ve been snake bit, and it feels good!”. Then the others (other than the 18 year old because momma don’t play that shit) followed suit. There were “ssssss” noises throughout my household and oddly posed fingers in the form of a snake bite I suppose. Yes, I laughed. Who wouldn’t? 
It went on for hours until the snake bite literally bit their asses. I have videos of CJ’s “goodies” (shush, it’s not as dirty as it sounds…he had a fondness for his male boobies this night to the tune of Colt 45 and 2 Zig Zags or some such hysterical nonsense that started at Walmart where I might have…or might not have…said shiz nitz to my girls in some Snoop Dog sort of rave). 
And unfortunately, or fortunately, it didn’t stop that night. They did this again on New Year’s Eve and so the phrase “Snake Til You Die” or STYD was born and this phrase, and ridiculous hand motion, will forever live in our family. We are a pitiful bunch. 
Don’t judge! We have fun and these memories (or lack there of) will only serve to strengthen our bond. Life is good. Enjoy it and remember that the silliest of evenings can cause life-long memories that will lead to life-long giggles. And never forget to STYD or whatever else makes you smile!

My House is Too Full, Too Messy, and Oh-So-Happy

By Christy 15 Comments

This is my house right now. It’s full of kids. It’s a hot mess. I mean, seriously, do you see that mess? *SHUDDER*
But all of my kids are home and I could care less about the mess for once. I’m not even picking up behind them (much) because I’m too busy enjoying the giggles. The giggles are abundant. My kids are really, really funny. So what if they range in age from 23 to 4? They have a lot in common and funny is my favorite commonality. 
I love them all, and they are all my favorites for very unique reasons. This week I feel incredibly blessed. I don’t get them all in one room very often anymore. I will enjoy this chaos while it lasts and I will revel in the mess that is now my home. 
Next week I’ll clean. This week? I’ll just enjoy the view through the chaos. Life is good and I’m one lucky momma!

Photo Shoot With Bubby…Not So Wordless Wednesday

By Christy 4 Comments

This past week, I had a post to do and it involved Bubby. These are actually my favorite because this kid is a character. It involved new clothes and it involved him posing.
What do I do Mommy?
Whatever you want Bub! Just pose for Mommy!
And it was on!
I’ve got a million of them (OK so only 109, but you get the point).
But it ended in the typical UGH pose and I knew we were through.
I love this kid! I’m a lucky momma and glad my little man, my only son, was born with a sense of humor and love for life. He rocks my socks and he sure was rockin’ those new clothes too. He can get whiny, and he refuses to use the potty, but this kid is awesome in so many ways! I’m lucky that I get to giggle daily because he is a part of my world!
