Parental and Spousal Search Engine
Parental and Spousal Search Engine
It’s a damn good thing our kids don’t have to Pay-per-ask (like a Pay-per-click account) for things, or they’d be broke!
“Mom, where’s my lucky socks? I’ve got a test today!”
“Mom, I can’t find my lucky shirt. Where is it? My date is gonna be here in ten minutes!”
Of course our spouses, AKA-our husbands *wink, are lucky as well.
I might have to think about charging him for me being a Spousal Search Engine. LOL
“Honey, where’s my belt?”
“I can’t find my other shoe. Honey, have you seen it? Honey? Anybody?”
“Honey, I love yoouu. Have you seen my hat?”
“Honey, where’s my good socks? Both of these have holes in them!”
“Honey, have you seen my lucky boxers? I’ve got a meeting today.”
“Where’s my favorite shirt? You know; the one with last weeks spaghetti stain!” LOL
HINT: Why do you think your honey-do list is so long all the time?
Then of course, you have to think of search tips for them, just like a real search engine.
Search tips help the search engine do what you want or need.
Here are some very reasonable search tips and pings:
Parental Search Tips for kids:
Make sure your room is clean
Stop leaving dirty clothes next to hamper
Remember to take frog out of pocket before putting pants in hamper (And anything else for that matter).
Don’t complain when you have to try mom’s new recipe experiment – criticize gently.
24 hour notice before bring friends over-especially if they like to hang around for dinner.
Class Treat Notice – Please do not leave it until the night before you need something.
Class Project Notice – Please do not leave it until the night before it’s due. Supplies are hard to find at bedtime.
Scratch mom’s back when she asks. She did give birth to you, you know – so scratching it is NOT going to hurt you, unlike childbirth.
Computer Use – Don’t come home with a pretend project so you can chat or play games until dinner.
Spousal Search Tips for men:
Put clothes in hamper, not on the floor
Clean up after you shave-includes cleaning sink-not just putting away the shave gel or throwing away used razor.
Ask her how her day was first for a change.
(Especially if she’s a say-at-home mom. Stay-at-home parents are taken for granted)
Surprise wife with flowers once in a while.
Massage her back or feet when she’s had a hard day WITHOUT complaining.
Let entire song play on radio instead of changing it in the middle just because that’s not what you wanted to listen to.
Dinner Guest Notices: Husbands, please pay attention to this or your wife will most likely freak out on you. (Also, it helps to ask your wife how long of a notice she needs…)
24 hour notice if you bring a friend over for dinner. (If you just plain show up with him, he may end up having a TV dinner. Sorry, but the meal was already planned ahead to begin with. Besides, McDonalds is not that far away either and now you’re the one who looks silly and cheap because YOU didn’t plan ahead.
48 hours if more than one friend comes over, and they're picky eaters.
3 days notice at least, if boss is coming. One week notice if bosses wife comes along or if there will be others.
How to
Do things BEFORE you get nagged
Surprise wife with jewelry AND flowers once in a while. (Not too often or we’ll think something is up)
Cook dinner AND do dinner dishes
ALL OVER body massage
Take a bubble bath with her
Choose a “girly, cuddle-up” movie and actually watch it with her-on the same couch-all cuddled in your comfiest position, instead of putting us thru the usual humiliating “nude women every-other-scene”, or the “shoot-‘em-up” type.
If boss is coming for dinner-HELP clean the house instead of giving orders.
How to
Do chores without being reminded or asked – including garbage or litter box.
Don’t fight so much with your siblings.
Figure out how to compromise with your siblings on your own – we won’t always be around, so you better know how to think for yourself.
After a wonderful pampering, we may be able to accept reasonable requests. Otherwise, we may let things go in one ear and out the other – selective hearing can work both ways. *wink
(
There are many other things I could add to these lists, but I think you guys get the picture. *smile
Yes, I know you men have some tips for us as well. But keep in mind they must be reasonable and fair in order for us to even consider them.
So there can’t be any like, “Three-some with our best friend” as a

Creating a "DOOL" Blog
I'm going to be creating a "Days of Our Lives" blog soon. I'm not sure, but I'll probably be putting it here on Blogger.
So, it looks like I've got my work cut out for me. LOL

Caught in the Act June 6, 2007
(Click the pic for a better view)
Rosebud got caught in the act this morning licking up the rest of her Mama's snack.
I had some chicken and broccoli soup this morning for breakfast (I know-that's not breakfast food), and gave Tinkerbell a little bit on a small plate mixed with a bit of milk since she loves it. Rosie is the only one so far that has to try everything Mama has. She's been like this for about four days now. Ever since she got into the water bowl-which she is still doing.
It probably isn't too good for them at this age, but I didn't think that licking the tad little bit that was left was too bad for her so I let her finish.
I also caught Serenity trying to eat Mama's crunchy cat food out of the adult bowl this morning. She didn't get very far since her teeth aren't strong enough yet. She lapped at the water, shook her head and walked away like, "yuck!" LOL
Serenity also got up on the couch by herself a few minutes ago. Now she's trying to figure out how to get down! Too cute LOL. Her answer to that of course is, "Meow! Help Grammy, I can't get down! LOL" Of course Grammy will help you...in a few minutes after you try anyway. You got your cute little rebel self up there, now you try and get down. If she looks like she's gonna fall, don't worry folks, I'll save her.
They're just like our toddlers-it's just like raising them-you treat them the same. (at least I do-or try to)
She's the oldest, first born, and the strongest of them. So in way, it's no surprise that she's doing most of the physical things first before her siblings.

It's the Grudge!
Oh no, it's the grudge!!!
Oops, my bad, it's just the kittens. LOL
The kittens were climbing on Grammy and got lost in her hair. BTW, I'm grammy if ya couldn't tell. I've got 5 grandkitties right now - four one month olds, and one that's almost a year old.
I've got more cute pics to put up on my site. When I do, I'll come back here and put a link.
