For the New Year I kept vacillating between blogging every day even if I don’t have much to say and only blogging when I had something funny to say or contribute to the lives of those crazy enough to follow my adventures. As you can see, I’ve chosen the latter. I know that I’m again sh*tting on all the social media etiquette and “rules” with my refusal to blog every day, but I'm a quasi stay at home mom of three kids. Give me a f*#&ing break! Those rules were invented by college kids whose primary responsiblity was where to buy their Ramen noodles that week. Oh, I mean . . . (I just pissed someone off again, didn't I?!) :-)
Oh, before I go any further, I’ll just share something that all you mommies of older kids can relate to . . . in the last 2 days I have been informed by the 9 year-old Superego that
1) She does not believe in Santa Clause;
2) She no longer eats kids meals at fast food restaurants because “they are for babies” and
3) She needs to shower every morning, wear deodorant and curl her hair before going to school.
Where the f*&# did my baby go, and who authorized these New Year's resolutions?!
Ok, back to the post . . . Needless to say, I’ve been slacking with family fun creativity in 2012. But tonight, I was so excited and surprised with the family fun that the Superego and the Ego came up with. They made dinner with daddy and decided that they wanted dinner to be a formal night . . . cloth napkins, tablecloth, place cards and all! Daddy even tucked in his shirt and wore a sport jacket!
Here's what we learned about family fun formal night:
