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.

I am glad that you got to see the movie. We went to the midnite showing and Giggles insisted on going back the next day with a friend and after 3 hours of sleep she passed out on poor Edward. I am hoping for her sake that there was no drool, because what’s worse than falling asleep in a movie theater is drooling while you are sleeping.

WebSavyMom November 24, 2009 at 9:35 am

–>Thanks for commenting to those girls. I wouldn’t worry about them cutting themselves so much as how that boy in the skinny jeans felt after he walked by. I just keep going back to what someone told me years ago when I was in my 20s, “Honey, once you turn 30, you can tell people whatever you want and not have to be nice about it.” Perfect!

Team Edward forever! Even though he has a weird nipple and crazy eyes in the movie.

I noticed the weird nipple too, and may or may not have googled “Why does Robert Pattinson have a gray nipple” when I got home.

Ok, I need to go see it again to verify this whole nipple thing, but I will be honest, one crazy nipple doesn’t make me want to fuck him less.

I just fell in love with you. You’re my new bff.

Yeah, the nipple thing was weird. Did Google turn up an answer? In the last movie he didn’t have funky nipplage.

AMAZING. I literally raised my fist in triumph when you yelled at those bitchy teenagers. Is it bad that I’m only in my 20s and already deploring the youth of today? Yeah, you’re right. I’m going to go rub in some Ben Gay and watch the Golden Girls.

I don’t know what made me laugh harder- that or you nearly killing your dad with Sex Gel. It’s a valuable lesson for all people that will eventually bear children. Hide the lube. For the good of your parents.

We totally had a KY jelly incident at our house. We had the bottle and somehow Baby Girl managed to get a hold of it when she was about 18months old, flipped open the top and spilled it all over my bedroom… in the carpet. That shit stains. So now I have little KY drops all over my carpet that I can’t get rid of and no animal to blame it on. Because seriously, I would rather tell someone that my dog shit on the carpet then tell them my baby found my stash.

I’m not sure what the saddest part of your post is, but I’m pretty sure it’s that you’re out $25 for lube.

We can be crazy ladies together. I would have done the same thing. My step daughter’s friends are exactly that way and I literally want to grab them by their hair and wash their mouth out when they do crap like that. I swear the only thing holding me back is I’m pretty sure one of the girls parents would call the cops for child abuse on me. I’m also with you on the skinny jeans, since when is a guy wearing his gay flag if he wears skinny jeans.

As far as the lube incident. Dare I ask why the boys were playing with shotgun shells & the lube?!?!? lol
