Sometimes God has a plan. A plan that may or may not include me getting to see New Moon in a timely manner.

by barefootfoodie on November 24, 2009

Um, I’m gonna be honest here.

Seldom do my weekend plans include anything but sweatpants and chinese food.

The highlight is usually Sundays, when I get productive, and I’m all, ok, I am totally going to shower and shave something today.

Whether I actually do it or not is regardless.  The point is, the initiative was there…buried under those yummy, hard chow mein noodles that you never think you want, but then you end up eating the whole bag.

But, last Thursday, I had a plan:  Piss the day away until midnight, when I would then glitter up and go see New Moon.

But then, I had a 10pm radio interview.

Ok fine, my devotion to the undead will be just as evident if I go Friday morning.

Except, come Friday morning?  I was the undead.  My head was pounding, my ears were all echo-y, my eyes were watering, and my nose was completely plugged up.  Both nostrils.  HOW IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED!?

I would have totally still gone to the movie, except that I was coughing up a storm, and when I cough, I pee a little (a lot).  And, I could’ve totally just worn a pad or one of Gigi’s diapers, but that would be bulky, and for Edward, I wear the skinny jeans.

Fine, universe, way to be a douche bag.

New plan:  Saturday, after the Buckeyes win, after my hot wing and tacos nap, I was going to see New Moon.  I don’t even care if my pants don’t zip (updated: they don’t).

***Alright, here is the part of the post where I zip away to something seemingly irrelevant at this time, but then totally makes sense at the end.  My life is a Quentin Tarentino movie.

My two year old likes to empty things.  Cups.  Tubes of toothpaste.  Pitchers of red kool aid.

He’s a dumper.

He spills stuff everywhere, and there is a lot of cussing involved.***

So, it’s Saturday night, and I am getting ready for the movie.

A real movie, that’s not animated, and I don’t have to share my popcorn or my drink, or threaten anybody to shut the fuck up because, OMG, this movie cost $10 a person, I don’t care how bad you have to poop, just sit in it.

My dad came over to watch the kids, and I was in the bathroom, dry shaving my armpits with baby lotion and a dull razor, when I heard a loud thud, which shockingly, did not make me react in absolutely any fashion.

That’s how awesome of a mom I am, folks.

So then, my dad is all, ooouuuccchhhh, and I am like, OMG, is my dad having a heart attack?  Am I never meant to see this fucking movie?

So I ran in my bedroom where the boys were playing with empty shot gun shells, and my dad is on the ground.

He slipped on something and hit the back of his head on my night stand.

Now, I could draw this out with italicized dialogue, or I could just come out with it.

My son emptied an entire bottle of KY Yours & Mine lube on the ground.

My dad slipped in it.

OMG, I almost killed my dad because I don’t know how to put away $24 sex jelly.

I told him it was pee.

My dad was like, it’s pretty thick to be pee, and I was like, oh, we eat a lot of carbs, and I left the room.

I find if you present people with really stupid explanations for things, and then walk away from them, they have no choice but to stop questioning you about it like the fucking gestapo.

So then, I went to the theater, and I had to wait in a super long, cattle like line, to even get into the movie.  Which made me thankful I got the bigger popcorn.  For sustenance.

Besides my mom, and this creepy guy in a wheelchair with a young boy on his lap, I was the oldest person there, and the teenage girls behind me were horrible.

“Gay.”  “Retarded.”  “Fag.”

Who thinks using these words is ok?

So, I spent my time giving them the stink eye and questioning the authenticity of their Walmart knock off Uggs.

But then, a boy walked by in skinny jeans, and they flat out called him a “queer” and “fag,” out loud, as he walked by.

First of all, I thought all boys wore skinny jeans now a days, isn’t it a Jonas Brothers thing?  Are they not in anymore?  What about the Real Worlders on the MTV, don’t they wear them?

Second, that did it, because now I had to yell at her.

So I was like, who are you that you think you can speak to someone that way, and even if he is gay, he’ll still probably have more boyfriends than you.

And then, my mom made me leave the line, because I was about to call her ugly, and my mom said you can’t talk like that to teenage girls because they will cut themselves.

I am pretty sure I scared her so bad she started her period.

I hate that I was holding the large popcorn when I yelled at her, because now when she retells it, I’ll be the crazy lady with mom hair that was eating a gigantic popcorn like some kind of cow.

Dammit.

I need to plan this shit out better next time, and make my mom hold the popcorn.

Sigh.

Oh, and Team Edward.

OM fucking God… this has got to be the funniest retelling of a New Moon outing I have read. I went with my sister and my teen daughter and had to tell the little Bitch sitting to the left of me to STFU because she was making snide comments throughout the whole movie. (She was NOT a fan but was dragged there with her Twihard friends) so I told her to Get the Fuck out or Shut up…) think she probably thought the same thing of me.. super LARGE popcorn and LARGE Blue Raspberry Frozen drink.. yea, I looked like the mom trying to be cool… ugh

You are hilarious!!

And I’ll tell my husband he has you to thank…because today…..(drumroll please)…..my goal is going to be to “shower and shave something.” It may or may not have been about 3 days. And yes, that is gross. And no, I don’t really care that much. Except that I’m starting to gag a little from my own smell. And my 4 year-old just wrinkled her nose while standing near me and said, “Ewww. Somebody pooped.” Um, no. It’s Eau de Mom-Stank.

You’re hilarious. I want to know how much you LOVED New Moon now!!! I loved it more than Twilight… and having just finished reading Eclipse – OMG, I know that movie is going to KICK ASS! I cannot wait for June… cannot wait!!!

Edward is still a total hottie, but I got really upset when he got flat-out emasculated by Felix in the great hall. Like, he got his ASS KICKED, and then just sat there in a choke hold like a pussy. I lost respect. Not lust, but respect.

Wow. That is hysterical. For the record, I haven’t dry shaved my pits with lotion and a dull razor since I was, oh, 18. In fact, I had blocked it from my memory banks… until now. Freaking hilarious.

For the record – your dad totally knows what that was. Just sayin’.
And teenagers suck. And I own one. But he’s an exception. (wink, wink) And he knows he’ll die if I ever catch (or hear about) him acting like that in public.

I love the comments. My wife and I are large,umm big boned umm ok fat. But we have 2 beautiful kids. We were at the mall in Grapevine, some size 0 bitches were talking about my wife and I and questioning the viability of my kids lineage. They thought she couldn’t hear them, they were wrong. It was something along the lines of “Omg do you think those kids belng to them” “But, they’re fat and their kids are like not.”
My wife looked at both of them and responded with “That’s right, fat people fuck too” and walked away.

I was also the oldest person in line, but what the fuck, somebody had to be. The teenage girl in line behind me had her boyfriend with her and he was being a total prick. He was berating her for eating the popcorn because jesus christ didn’t she see how many calouries popcorn has! He got cold and went to sit in the car to warm up. I convinced her that he was no Edward and she could do better. Pretty sure they broke up during the coming attractions.

Your dad slipping in your KY is hysterical…

I almost had to go to team Jacob, but since it makes me feel all pervy and old, I am sticking with Edward.

Before seeing New Moon I felt kinda odd lusting after a 23-year-old with good hair. Now, though, I’ve decided to embrace my inner cougar and just lust after all the shirtless boys.

You almost killed your dad with sex lube? I’m at a loss for words and you know that’s nearly impossible for me.

Oh and what are we going to do with jenbshaw? I mean, Team Jacob? WTF is up with that? She clearly has no idea what she’s talking about.

Totally lost on the vampire thing, but really with you on the KY thing. I had an incident, shall we say, with my mom some time back that involved the discover of sex toys and/or accessories.

OMG I have never laughed so hard in my life.
My now 8 yr old was a stuffer. Nothing more embarrassing then calling a plumber and having him fish out your entire sexual repertoire out of the toilet.

*sniff* I have no one who wants to see New Moon with me. Damn haters.

I love edward and jacob. *dreamy sigh*

Holy cow, lady.

Was it worth it??

(And in all seriousness, nothing upsets me more than getting furious with strangers being assholes in public. Half the time I say something, and then I end up crying.)

$24? That better be one big ass bottle of jelly. Or really, really worth the money.

I’m so jealous. I’m still waiting. Wed night is theoretically the big night.

I wish those girls would say something to my 17 year old cousin so he could get a clue that it is not ok to wear those skinny jeans…sigh.

PS. Don’t feel bad about not responding to thuds. I totally tuned them out until two of them turned out to be semi-serious this week. So now I’m back on guard. Hopefully, my 1yo will calm the hell down soon and I can go back to being a crappy parent.

You did it again, coffee coming out of my nose! One of the many reasons my husband makes sure we always hide the KY! If he wasn’t so weird about it, this would totally have happened to me!

I’ve been reading your blog for a little while now and just have to say, you are my hero :)

I’m going to remember your KY incident and make sure ours is locked away at all times before little hands find it. And I am so glad you ripped into those girls.

CLAIRE December 2, 2009 at 11:45 am

Ohmygod! I need a diaper, I havent laughed this hard in ever & my bladder isnt super sound now’days either!!
The loss of that KY hit me right in the heart. What a shame you lost all that good lube!! But, “we eat alot of carbs” came out of that & I will be laughing about that for years now, so, it was not an unworthy cause for lube loss!!
