What Made the Red Man Red?

This is the question of the day, brought to you by Disney's Peter Pan.

I love how no one worries one iota about how racist that is, and how there is a whole song dedicated to such important questions as:

1) What made the red man red?
2) When did he first say "ugh"?, and
3) Why does he ask you "How"?

"Because, you see, once the injun didn't know all the things he know now. But the injun, he sure learn a lot, and it's all from asking 'How'?"

Indeed.

Let us ask our own "How", shall we?

How is it that the girls have seen Peter Pan this many times and the DVD hasn't cracked yet?
How is it that I have no TV, but the girls still spend this much time watching cartoons? 
How is it that I give the dog a bath every week but she still stinks?
How is it that I have been exercising a ton, eating healthy, and still not losing any weight?
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
How did it take me this long to realize that the voice of Alice in Wonderland is also the voice of Wendy in Peter Pan?
How cute is my daughter?


You don't have to answer that last questions, I already know.

UPDATE: I haven't gotten a single comment on this post. I would like to point out that I am not a racist, and that I am directly quoting from Peter Pan. Also, commenting on this post will not make you racist by association. It will, however, make you a fan of Peter Pan. Who is racist.

How to Look Like a Rock Star

Image
Having a baby and being exhausted a lot of the time makes me feel really old and decrepit. Sometimes I see a picture of myself and I am surprised by how young I look, simply because I feel so old. And something about feeling old makes me want to at least fake youthfulness. In fact, I think this is what you call a mid-life crisis. Or a mid-childbearing crisis. I don't want to be matronly. I don't want to be called "Ma'am". I want to be youthful and be called "Miss". Sure, the correct term for a married woman with 3 children is "Ma'am". But I am throwing convention to the wind here because I pretty much want to pretend. I want to get hip. Be cool again (ok, I've never actually been cool, but I did say this was for pretends). So I took a little trip down to the fantastic Euphoria Salon for some  help. Here is before, at home with the baby. Clearly something needs to be done with those split ends either way. Soooo.... let's cho

How to Potty Train

Wow, I have really been slacking on the blog posts. But I have a reason for that, truly I do. In fact, I even dropped a hint of it in my last post, but NO ONE noticed! I think I am going to wait a while and see if anyone can come up with a good guess. Not that I blame you for missing the hint, it was subtle. In the meantime, since the last post and now, I will update you on what else has been going on. I have actually potty trained Violet, and that went so remarkably well that I really could not say anything sarcastic about it. Which is a shame, because you know how much I enjoy my sarcasm. And how sad I get when I cannot take aim and shoot it at people or things like little stinging bullets... pew! pew! pew! So the very first day Violet was at the potty like a champ. Inside of a week she was completely potty trained. I would like to brag about how fantastic I am, and about how I am the. best. mom. ever.  But the truth is that Violet was totally ready. Case in point, I noticed sh

How to Battle Caffeine Addiction

How can you battle caffeine addiction? Um, you tell me because I have no idea and I've been struggling hard against becoming addicted to caffeine. Heck, I even struggle against the idea of needing something like caffeine to get through my day. But the truth is that caffeine is like having a secret mommy superpower. Caffeine makes me brave. Caffeine makes me want to live my life to the fullest. I can accomplish things when I have had coffee. It...dare I say it? It makes me a better person. For example, when getting ready to go to the park with the kids, I normally just throw whatever on myself and the kids, and walk out the door. But when I have had coffee it makes me do crazy things like care about our appearance.   And, because I am nursing my 2 month old, she can also accomplish amazing things. When I have had coffee, I can do a million things at once - like clean everything while talking on the phone with caffeine-less friends, nurse the baby , and just about anythin
