limited to Facebook one liners these days. Why? I'm stuck in a rut with no creative juices. I lost them about two months ago and each time I begin a post...I'm flat. Nothing. No words, no ideas. Nada!
I'd apologize and say "I promise to post soon", but who knows how long this dry spell will last?
Usually when I blog I begin writing in my head for a day or two before I commit to paper, errr...cyber-space.
The one thing I can dig up for you should give you a chuckle. Let's call it "Wesley's science project".
The assignment was to demonstrate what life would be like without a body part. Wesley choose to do his project on what else, but "the anus". Yes the anus, poop shoot, or butt hole!! I've thought about posting the video he made on YouTube, but...or should I say butt...I'm to embarrassed.
Was that a teacher approved body part you ask? Butt, of course it was, and Wesley ran with it all the way to an A+. I earned the title "Oh, that's Wesley's mom, you know the student who did the anus for science." Just what a mom is created for, the butt of jokes. You'd think all the teachers in our little school would know us, butt there were a few who had been sheltered from the pleasure of educating one of our boys. That has all changed. Apparently the science teacher invited all the staff in to see what one brave student did. Lucky me!
I'll admit Wesley had thought the whole thing through and his video was clever and chock full of sixth grade male toilet humor. ie- "oh, I think I need to take the browns to the Superbowl." (translation- I have to poop.)
Those of you wondering why I'm not crazy yet aren't alone in that thought.
Tip for the day: Hug your anus-- it does more for you than you can even imagine.
Unfortunately, I don't have to imagine.

Oh Wesley...he brings imagination and excitement to everything he does! Honestly, it might be embarrassing, but he is blessed with a creative mind that thinks outside the box that most people would give a ...body part...for! I think it's awesome that he took that all the way to an A grade; no matter how silly it seemed to everyone else, he obviously took it seriously.
Annette is... thinking that Andrea has plenty to write about...
Soon after I joined Facebook I faced the same one-lining syndrome. I just couldn't think of stuff to blog about! I could think of silly little sentences; I even thought about using those as my posts. At least my readers would have something new when they stopped by. I have lately gotten back into the swing of posting, though sometimes I feel like people must be bored of all the kids' stories and there isn't much else worthwhile to blog about.
Oh well! At least we still have Facebook. :o)
Honey I Love you and our boys butt, Somethings SHOULD REMAIN AT HOME...p.s. I need the video for the men on the tug......
Thanks for having faith in me Annette. I'm sure I'll get my blogging back.
Lisa, thanks for confirming that writers block is possible due to FB and also defeatable. I too feel like I ramble about the boys and that it gets old. I keep reminding myself, this is really a public journal for me. I don't want to forget certain moments in their childhood and the feelings attached to those moments.
Honey, your punctuation implied "I love you and our boys butt." I don't think you loves the butt of the boys. I think you meant to say "I love and our boys, butt somethings should remain at home."
Completely different meaning!
I'll be glad to share the video. In truth I'm not embarrased by his project. I am envious that he thinks outside the box. Sometimes I wish it wasn't so far outside the box. This wasn't too far outside.
OH Wesley, What a project topic?!?!!? Most parents would have suggested another body part, but I'm proud of you for not suggesting a change, butt supporting him in his creativity and thinking!! I would also love to see the youtube. I shared Wesley's project idea with Megan, she teaches social studies and science and she loved it, but she has always been a fan of thinking aside the box. I wonder where our kids (now adults) get that way of thinking!
Oh, your "writers' block", not a problem, that was a perfect story of creative juices to share. More will come to you. There is way too much creativity in you to be "dried up".
