So did Big Kid say "what da hell is dis?" because of the mess you made bleeding all over the house or because he sees you doing this awful MasterCleanse thing? I'm all for the colon cleansing thing but I don't know about this method. I do know YOU however and how competitive (& stubborn) you are.. So please, dear Ashley, eat a fweakin samwich or something already! Your "muffin top" is barely there (sticking my tongue out at you) and is a cleaned out butt really worth this lemonade hell? There's definitely other colon cleansing options out there

So, my LK looks at me the other day, throws a block or something at me and says "Sit, mama." I was sitting, so this was odd. After this phrase was repeated a thousand times after dropping or throwing things and falling down, it finally dawned on me - he's saying shit. 'Uh-oh' has been replaced by 'shit'. Holy cow. I can't wait until his Baptist daycare figures that one out...

Please say you're done with this diet? You're giving me anxiety....

I'm becoming concerned that you will be skinnier than me at our February meet-up.

I wonder where Big Kid learns things like that.

Ooohhh. Deb has a good point. Since I am coming from the farthest. I get to be the skinniest so eat away, my friend.

And where DOES Big Kid hear words like that, Mom?

DOES THIS MEAN YOU ATE?

When did you eat and why didn't you call me?

So I am in this alone?

le sigh...
