random friday tidbits

i'm feeling a bit scattered today...so this post (similar to most of my posts) is random musings of what is going on in my brain.

first...a product review.
fiber one toaster pastries. (think pop tart...only healthier)
yeah, yeah...they are chock full of preservatives and what not....but they also have 6 grams of fiber for 1 pastry and they have less sugar, calories, carbs, etc. than pop-tarts.
i tried the maple & brown sugar this morning and thought it was delish.
g wasn't having any of it...he wouldn't try it. i had to laugh at myself as i realized i was arguing with him TO eat a pop-tart. ummm..."griffin...it's a treat! eat it!" "it's like a dessert! eat it!" "no mama...i don't want it...get it out of here!"
i realized i should just let him eat his healthy normal breakfast and not force this on him...but damn...it has 6 grams of fiber! this boy NEEDS 6 grams of fiber...so why not get it from a pop tart?? hello?
anyway..it also comes in blueberry, strawberry and chocolate i believe.


2nd item of business: i have finally bought an umbrella. after 34 years of not owning an umbrella...i have bought one. what the hell...have i come out from under a rock? why didn't this crazy new invention click with me years ago? it keeps you dry! what a concept!

finally: have i turned into one of those people that i NEVER thought i would be? where i talk about my kids poop to other people? (that probably don't care or more likely...are completely appalled?)
yes. i think i have. ugh.
but doesn't EVERYONE find poop fascinating? i do. so i guess i feel like it needs to be talked about! i would be fine hearing about my childless friends poops. "hey ( )...tell me about that corn muffin you just ate?..did you say..."ill be seeing you guys later when you ate it?"
"hey ( )...seriously...TRY these fiber one pop tarts...they totally send you right to the crapper after eating one delicious pastry! you gotta check it out!"
"hey ( )...did you KNOW that mushrooms don't digest that well??"
and one of my favorites....(from a family member...)
"you know how i just drank baileys and vodka last night? well come check this out...have you EVER seen THAT before? its pure white!!!"

anyway...i had to stop myself as i was talking to a co-worker (sans kiddos) about the fact that since griffins poops are normally so hard...you barely even have to wipe his butt...cuz they aren't runny and gross...they just come right out...clean as a whistle!

her face was one of utter disgust. and then i realized...what the f k! who am i? and what happened to the person that used to filter the actual thoughts going through my head to what actually came out of my mouth?
i guess that flew out the window when i had to stick my finger (covered with a wipe, people!!) up my babies butt to pull out his poor hard, stuck poo.
see...THIS is why i want him to try the high fiber pop tarts!!! (and you thought this post wasn't going to come full circle and have a point...)
