I took a week off from Friday Fragments last week and what a mistake! My head was filled with random ramblings that I now must spew out all over this post. To participate in this therapeutic and extremely amusing meme, head on over to Mrs. 4444’s blog and read the details.

Tiger Woods
I’m sorry, but I have to mention him. Tiger Woods. But not in the way you think. I’m not going to waste space knocking him for cheating on his wife. We all know it’s wrong, if that is in fact what happened. After all, we don’t know him personally and therefore don’t truly know what happened. What I am annoyed about is that the media keeps hounding him to talk to them about the details. I love a good gossip story like the next person, but c’mon people! He apologized for his “transgressions” and as far as I am concerned, that’s all we need to know. This is something that he needs to fix with his wife, not with the public. And what the heck is with the alleged mistress crying on tv?! Give me an ever-loving break!!! You will NOT be getting nominated for an Oscar! You may get offers to write a tell-all book or do an interview, but you better believe I won’t be tuning in to that crap! Alright, I’m done…..

Jon Gosselin
While I am on the subject of useless people in the media, I should mention my thoughts on Jon Gosselin. (You can read more thoughts on this family here). Waste of space! Sorry, I am being brutal here, but I know I’m not alone in my thoughts, so here goes. You’ve been messing up. And you KEEP messing up. Just stop. Stop speaking, stop trying to get people to offer you money for your appearances, and definitely stop trying to get the attention of the public. See that hole in the ground? You dug that hole buddy and it’s getting deeper by the day. Every word that comes out of your mouth makes it worse. Instead, put your energy into repairing the relationships with your kids and YOURSELF, because at this rate, you’re guaranteeing they will be in therapy. And that you’ll have a nervous breakdown by 35. The end!

And Kate, I can’t believe I am saying this, but I think I like your old haircut better than the new one. It makes you look old!

Ok, on to a much happier subject: my son.

Cute Kiddo
My oldest did something very cute the other day that of course I will share with you. He started to gather up his trucks and other vehicles, telling them they were not listening. I thought it was funny because he used the exact same tone we use with him when he is not listening. But then he started to put them on the step behind the child safety gate and saying that they were going to jail. Ok, still pretty cute to see him disciplining inanimate objects. But then he puts himself in “jail.” I tried to tell him that he was in fact doing a good job listening and did not need to punish himself along with his trucks, but he was having none of it. Stuck behind the bars of the gate, he sat there pitifully with his trucks. And I could not stop laughing! He is such an actor. He portrays emotion with such enthusiasm (hmmm….apple doesn’t fall far from the tree perhaps?). I love that kid!

Arctic Tundra
Someone forgot to tell me that one night while I was sleeping, my house was uprooted and moved to the Artic tundra. Because yesterday there was a windchill of -20. Negative 20 people! Pipes in our house were freezing. Dogs walking outside were turning to their owners and saying “Are you kidding me? I’ll just hold it for 2 days!” I know it’s winter, but cold this bad is just a joke. We were punked by Mother Nature today. Would love to punk her back!

So that’s my randomness for this Friday. Looking forward to reading yours. Feel free to join the fun or leave your random thoughts in my comment section. I’m all ears! Be sure to take part in my “Friday Fill in the Blank” also, which is the post before this one.

Also, I’ve got something new on the blog. If you look to the right, you’ll see the “I Had A Mommmy Moment” icon. You’ll see the little blurb underneath it, which explains what it’s about. I’m excited to hear other moms’ embarrassing mommy moments, because after all, we ALL have them! You get to share your moment and details about your blog. And your blog will be featured in that space for a whole week. I’m even willing to share MY own embarrassing moments to make this more fun! Just contact me if you’re interested.
