WTF - Websites for a Rainy Day

So it is a rainy start to Spring Break, I thought I would share wonderful ways to waste your time while waiting for the sun to peak out!

Start in Facebook, especially now that it starts videos as you scroll by, immediately sucking you in!

From there, move over to the right hand side of your computer screen -

Trending Topics - the perfect time suck!  Sure, you'll feel the guilt of clicking on the Blake Shelton/Gwen baby rumors but relax, you are worth it. Your time is your own, read what you will!

Once you've bored yourself there, here's some other fun websites:

Panoramic Fails. Some of these may haunt your dreams but many are pretty cool!!


Great gifts and gadgets!  Click Here  Did you know they have Hillary Clinton Nutcrackers?

This another favorite - SuperCook!  You check off the items in your home and it suggests recipes!

I love Buzzfeed.com - especially when it is a hot topic. Don't waste time reading the articles, just go directly to the comments!  They are crazy!  So much fun to read!
Here's a great one after reading a particularly refreshing article on how to prevent Boob Sag!

Need your daily dose of cuteness?  Here's BabyAnimalCams.com!


The WayBackMachine.com shows you how websites USED to look, it's pretty fun looking around in the stone age, like 5 years ago!

Of course, my son had to show me his Time Suck website


And of course - The pointer website. Wherever you move your pointer, the website shows a picture with a person pointing to your pointer!

So there is your rainy day fun on a day off, the sun just came out here, so it's off to hike in the sunshine!

WTF - Dog vs. Children

There are some mornings I actually like my dog more than my kids, not this morning - the kids won. Then I realized my kids and dog have a lot in common:

They are alike in that:


They lie around a lot, in the same position. Then they get up, stretch and lie down in a new position.


They leave shit on the floor, expecting me to clean it up.



They eat anything that comes out of a can.

They sleep a lot. I mean A LOT!


They depend on me to take them anywhere.


They are not in common when:


My dog is happy to see me, my teenager - not so much. Especially when I am early to carpool and he's talking to a girl.


My dog eats the same thing every day and doesn't complain. 


My dog listens to me the first time, wait a minute, scratch that neither listen to me.


My dog doesn't whine, my kids are masters at it.


My dog can be bribed to do anything with small amounts of food.


Then my kids win:


I still have to periodically clean shit off my dog's butt, thank god my children grew out of this.


I've never had to chase my child down the street whistling.


I've never had to cut cockleburs out of a child's hair while holding them down.


My children know that skunks spray.


My kids don't lick their butt.


My dog still takes a dump on the floor.


My kids don't eat dead stuff then come inside and puke it on the only carpeted place in the house.


My kids are easier to bathe.


I guess I've lived both worlds, having the kids, then as they demanded, getting the dog. Honestly I wouldn't live without either one.


Oh, there's a mess I need to clean up.

WTF - Why I can't LIKE you any more

With all the changes to Facebook recently, I've realized that it is in bad taste to like anyone anymore.

My biggest reason I am boycotting liking everything is offending my friends. With the new reaction buttons on the New Facebook, it has made liking anything HARD!

Before it was difficult to LIKE it when someone dies, but now the SAD option seems more appropriate, don't you think?

What post is worthy of a LOVE? When do you fall out of LIKE and move into LOVE?

Can you LOVE and LIKE a post at the same time?

Can you LOVE a post because it made you go WOW?

Once I use LOVE, how can I go back to LIKE? There is no going back on LOVE, maybe a side journey over to WOW?

Of course, I accidentally WOWed a post from a elementary school classmate I've been stalking for the past year, how embarrassing.

If I react with HA HA would I offend the person posting. What if I am the only one thinking it was funny? Then everyone reacts to my HAHA with a ANGRY?

A friend just recently lost a bunch of weight and on her pictures I was stuck, I could LOVE this, or I could say WOW but it definitely didn't warrant a HA HA. Would she rather I WOW or LOVE or just move back to LIKE? What would make her happy?

Then you have the SAD and ANGRY buttons, I think this gives too much fodder to those Debbie Downers out there. We all have that one person who will react to everything as SAD, because she's well, just SAD.

So like everyone else, I'm posting on Facebook and wondering why I get so many LIKES but never any LOVE? I'm not feeling the LOVE over here in my corner of the universe.

My last post didn't even get a LOVE? I mean people, it was pretty freaking hilarious, can you at least HAHA or WOW and if you feel really connected to me, give me a LOVE?

I'm going to post that with a -feeling Emotional face and see if I can garner any LOVE maybe a WOW or if I get really desperate

a LIKE.

WTF - I am a Rockstar - I just didn't know it!

I never realized as a Mom, I lived the life of a rockstar!  And you do to!!  Here's a glimpse into my Rockstar days!

Daily, someone throws underwear at me.

I do the same thing, day after day, week after week.

I am on an endless road trip with a car stuffed full of people.

My name is always screamed, over and over and over.

Someone is always flicking a lighter around me.

I am always finding other peoples clothes littering my floor, along with a pair of underwear.

I am never alone. Even in the toilet.

My day is spent constantly screaming.

There is always a new instrument in my house.

The room is trashed within 5 minutes of walking through the door. And of course there is underwear on the floor.

There's always someone in my entourage insisting no Green Skittles, or "Why didn't you get the Moon Pies like I asked?"

Sometimes I can lose a good portion of my day.

There is always a surprise in my bed every morning.

Weekend nights are spent figuring out how to entertain room full of crazy kids, usually shouting my name!

Someone is always pulling at my clothes.

My day ends with alcohol, messy hair and exhaustion.

There is always some point in my day where I stop, asking myself, "Am I tripping?  Did I really just see that?"

WTF - Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss - Do you like the snow?

I am Kel
Kel, Oh well.

That Kel, That Kel
She think's she's swell
That Kel, That Kel
The stories she tells

Would you like some more snow?
Soft and fluffy and off we go?

I do not want any more snow,
I do not want it now you know.

Would you like to take a ride?
Down the hill on skis we glide?

I told you once, I don't want to ride.
This cold weather makes me hide.
And no I don't want more snow.
I do not want it, now you know.

Would you could you hit the rink?
Ice skate around, don't you think?

No, no, I don't want to ride.
Downhill on skis that slide.
I do not, will not hit the rink.
No thanks to ice skating, it just stinks.
And no, no, please no more snow.
I do not want it, now you know!

Perhaps, a good wintery slope,
It is a perfect day, one could hope?

There is no hope, not even a slope.
It's too cold outside you dope!
I do not want to ride,
I do not want to go outside.
I do not want to hit the rink,
Open that door and I'll cause a stink.
You didn't hear me, please no more snow.
I do not want it, now you know!

Would you, could you think of tubing?
A fun winter sport of choosing?

Take a tube on a cold winter day? 
Leave me be, please, I pray.
I will not ride down a slope,
I will not ride, you dope!
I will not ski, don't you see?
It's too cold outside for me!
I don't want to fall in a rink,
Hit the ice? now way, I think.
I do not want to go out in the snow!
I do not, do not, now you know.

You do not like snow,
So you say,
Try it, try it,
And you may.
Open the door, take a small step outside,
Try it, try it, to say you tried.

Oh Kel, if you'll let me be,
I'll step outside and see.
I'll try the snow, 
I'll try it for you.
I will not like it like you do.

Wait!
It's so pretty, I like the snow!
I like it, I like it! Now I know!
I will go ski on this pretty day.
I'll ride the lift to the top, I say!
I will hit the rink for a turn or two.
I'll even take a break with a brew.
Maybe after that beer in a tube I'll ride,
I'll do it all and stay outside.


I do like the fluffy snow!
I do like it, 
now I know!
