Random pictures I took with my phone because I could

This post should be filed under “Random pictures I took with my phone because I could” and “I am swamped at work but I need to feed my Tamagotchi aka blog so I am taking the easy, FINE, lazy!, way out” and “I am taking 6:30 am flight out, again, which sucks ass, and I just did grocery shopping because there are only three things in the world that my kids would eat, cleaned up the whole house, did the dishes and the laundry, packed their lunchboxes, left notes all over the house to remind them of trash day, so my kids will NOT grow up to become serial killers, and I needed to go pack for my trip wondering what I could wear that would not make me look pregnant” …

Mr. Monk, my 7 year-old boy, told me to come over so he could give me a very important lesson.
He was very proud of himself. I, like a good mother, was very proud as well.

Mr. Monk gave me "a very important lesson" the other day...

Mr. Monk decided to write a newsletter when he first overheard about what happened in Haiti. Only that he did not know at that time it was an earthquake and not a tsunami that destroyed Haiti. (He was probably also thinking of what happened in Indonesia in 2009…) He also did not know how to spell Haiti then.

Mr. Monk decided to be a Newspaper man...

    Ugh, I could totally tell that the stolen purses picture was from a bathroom due to the sharpie graffiti all over it. Seriously, who just has a sharpie in their purse for the purpose of writing on bathroom walls? I don’t get it! I’ve never once been in a bathroom and thought “You know, I think that the persons after me need to here some kind of ignorant ramblings from my tinkling self. Ooh Good! I’ve brought a Sharpie!”

      CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BABY BOY!!! 🙂

      (And, I am one of those people that carry a Sharpie inside their purses… Not to vandalize! But I am obsessed with pens, esp. Sharpies. I think they are one of life’s must-haves…)

      I took the picture when I was inside the lady’s room at the Metra station. So your friend might have been in the next stall! LOL.

    Rule #47: “Never enter a bathroom stall without checking for zombie purses first.” They’re worse than their stolen purses brethren–a stolen purse will just kidnap your child. A zombie purse will turn you into another zombie purse, and then it gets really horrible since you have to go shambling around trying to find matching zombie shoes, zombie gloves and zombie hat. Umm, I think I’ve been eating too much of that candy I was supposed to give away . . .

      Thanks for the surprise! 🙂

      And I agree: the matching rule is definitely going to be the one that kills us all. 😉

      You don’t want to know what is a tomagochi if you didn’t know already… Suffice to say it’s worse than having a puppy. Only that if you killed it, you could simply throw it in the trash can….

    One day I felt like I was being watched. I looked out the window and OH MY GOD! There was a herd of STOLEN PURSES loitering in my bushes! And they were ARMED with MACHETES! Yes! Armless purses were slicing their way to my door!

    I should have payed more attention to the bathroom signs that warned me to beware of them…

    The square is too much. When he graduates with his PhD in astrophysics, I hope you will present him with a framed copy of this. Awesome.

    Glad you felt lazy and fed your Tomagachi. Tomagachi, very happy. Tomagachi like. Happy Travels. Hope you are off to someplace warm and sunny.

      Sure. A mother can dream, eh? I went to Boston. Glad I got back before the snow hit though.

      Not sure. I do hope the $65,000 Herme purses would come and attack me ’cause I am ready to take them down, baby!

      Me too, 🙂 I did NOT point out the misinterpretation of “square” to him though. I wonder how old he will be when he learns that?

      Ok. I have the most imaginary bloggy friends. Or the craziest. Either way, I am blessed.

    Thanks for the giggles! When I first saw the E=MC2, I thought it looked like E=McD and wondered if the poor kid was jonesin’ for a Big Mac or something. Then I realized it was a picture of a square. Duh! 😀

      Oh I almost forgot … Tamagotchi? I haven’t heard that word in years! Not since my step-daughters tried to bribe me into buying them one. Which would have been pointless, since they were banned from school, which means I would have been feeding the damn thing all day long! 😀
