Welcome to the April edition of Fly On the Wall groups postings, hosted by Baking In A Tornado. Today, 15 bloggers are inviting you to catch a glimpse of what you'd see if you were a fly on the wall in their homes.As for my house, there has been a lot of yawning going on. Lately, I'm always tired. The Hubs is tired too, and now the teen is tired. Heck, I'm beginning to feel envious of my dogs because they get to nap all day long. I'm trying to combat my drowsiness with more coffee, but even after several cups of java strong enough to wake the dead, I'm STILL yawning at the gym and dreaming of when I can curl up on my Tempur-Pedic.
Here's a glimpse of some odd, conversational tidbits going on around me while I was trying to sneak in a few cat naps over the weekends:
"I wish our female dog was spayed. When she gets her period, she leaves her doggy DNA all over the new carpet.""Why don't stores sell elephant print leggings for working out?"
"Because no sane woman would wear elephants plastered all over her butt and thighs while doing squats at the gym."
"Don't bother me while I'm writing."
"Are you working on the new book?"
"Nope. This little piece is known as Book Proposal Purgatory."
"When you have A.D.D., your brain is like a computer with 20 tabs open all at once."
"You know we can't afford another car, Hon. You can still squeeze a few more years out of that 1999 Honda Odyssey minivan.""That's easy for you to say! I'm the only man in Broward County driving the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car from hell."
"When it comes to quality time in the bathroom, our son defies the success of any odor-eliminating spray."
"Nana, do you want a lobster roll or lobster ravioli for dinner?"
"No thank you. I don't like my lobster adulterated."
"I'm convinced that stemless wine glasses were invented for sloppy drunks."
"On Pinterest, it says that pinning a dryer sheet to your shirt will ward off mosquitoes when you're outside. I have a better idea---just pin a poopy diaper to your hat. I'm pretty sure that would keep the mosquitoes away.""Yeah, but then you'd be inviting the flies to a feast."
"I'm so full from dinner, I feel like someone put a sandbag in my stomach."
"It doesn't matter if you're in your 80's---you can still join a Cross Fit Class. But it will have a different name----like "Wheel Chair Aerobics" or "Walker Workout."
"If you eat that blueberry, raisin, and apple bran muffin before going to Zumba, you're going to end up with fruit flavored flatulence at the gym."
"After all the margaritas I've consumed tonight, I think the last mosquito that just bit me is going to be hungover for a week."

"inviting flies to the feast"....snorts out loud....
ReplyDeleteDoggy DNA and elephant print workout pants....I can't breathe...LOL
Hahahahaha!!! I felt the same way when I heard these comments from my daughter and my husband!!
DeleteDYING laughing!!!!! Hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteI can empathize with the van situation. I have a 97 Grand Caravan. We call her Betty White. ;)
OMG I'm glad we're not the only ones driving an old relic!!!
DeleteCan't imagine the quick wit around your house -- everyone must be on their toes!
ReplyDeleteThe kids get it from their father---I'm not THAT quick witted!
DeleteFruit-flavoured flatulence - now that is a phrase!
ReplyDeleteAnother great statement made by my hubs. Makes a nice tongue twister, don't you think?
DeleteMmm, margaritas ;)
ReplyDeleteI think elephant print leggings would be hilarious!
We just had the "car talk" Mark's Accord just flipped 300,000 miles. I say "drive it 'til it can't drive no more!" LOL
Hope you are doing well and smiling <3
That's EXACTLY what I tell Hubs about our car. No new vehicle until this one croaks on the side of the road!!
DeleteI SO want a pair of elephant print leggings: "I'm not fat, it's the elephant in my pants".
ReplyDeleteI just might get to work on an elephant leggings business proposal.
If you do it, count me in!
DeleteOh, I've missed this family!!! Hung over mosquitoes. Now I've truly heard it all!!!
ReplyDeleteThey pretty much get drunk around here every weekend. Lots of mosquito hangovers going around….
Deleteahahaah....fruit flavoured flatulence....can't stop laughing...btw, I am also very tired these days :( need more sleep....more rest...can never get enough of both :( I hope you all feel better soon and jump with bountiful of energy...cheers!
ReplyDeleteI could certainly use the extra energy. I keep wondering if we have a touch of a bug (maybe it's the drunk mosquito???) or Hubs and I are just tired because we're OLD. The teen has no excuse, though…..
DeleteWe don't have a minivan, but does our car qualify with 350K milage? I'd love to be in your head for a day, to actually see these elephant print leggings! And this Zumba dance class sounds tempting too:)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally addicted to zumba…but I'll be damed if I'll go to class in elephant leggings LOL!
DeleteI totally hear you on the doggy DNA - we have three females.
ReplyDeleteMargaritas = our revenge on mosquitoes.
Amen to that!
DeleteI should start doing this, capturing random quotes. I don't know if they'd be as good as what is said in your household though. This is just too funny!
ReplyDeleteDo it!! You would be amazed at the stuff that you collect after a month. Families are FUNNY!
DeleteThis makes me laugh every month. Love hearing what goes on at your house!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lana! Come visit us sometime so you can see it first hand :)
DeleteIs the right word zany............hmmm, I'm not sure about that..................just saying, although I shouldn't since I am not all together with it myself
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! Well, I've used up just about every word I can think of that means "crazy" in previous "Fly On The Wall" posts. I'm running out of ideas for titles…..
DeleteHAaaaa.
ReplyDeleteI can always count on you for a giggle.
Thank you.
I needed it!
Ps. glad I don't stand by you in Zumba class!xxx
If you come to class with me, I PROMISE not to eat any fruity muffins beforehand...
DeleteThere are worse things in life than having fruit-flavored flatulence. Like regular flatulence.
ReplyDeleteExactly! I'd rather have blueberry farts than…well, you know….
DeleteIf only eating fruit could cause us to have fruit smelling flatulence :-) lol
ReplyDeleteAlso, if the mosquitoes have a hang over the next day it should be easier to swat them...:-)
Have a great weekend Marcia ♡
All good points, Luanna. Have a great weekend!
DeleteHaha oh my gosh, the doggy DNA comment is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jen! That comment came from my oldest daughter about her pug!
DeleteHere's to mosquitos being drunk when they bite us and to awesome household stuff. Like I've said every time, I so so want to come to your house for dinner!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I sooooo want to meet you IRL. PLEASE come to Florida!!!! I just KNOW you and I would become besties if we ever got to meet each other and talk for a few hours!
DeleteWhat a fun family. You'll never run out of blog material!
ReplyDeleteThey keep me going, that's for sure!
DeleteDespite the yawning I still get the feeling that your house is never a boring place. :)
ReplyDeleteSadly, my family is at their LOUDEST when I'm trying to sleep, too!
DeleteI'll simply comment with "I love my adopted family!" lol
ReplyDeleteAnd we love you too, Sarah! <3
DeleteI'm picturing Mac with a poopy diaper full of mosquitoes strapped to his hat. lol Pug DNA - ack! Ours used to emit this smelly awful goo from their butts when they sat on our laps. I know - gross! I love when you do these fly on the wall posts Marcia. You guys are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! It was my daughter's pug that was having a period, Thankfully, my babies have been spayed and neutered.
DeleteWe're still driving a 1997 Toyota -- feeling better about that now:)
ReplyDeleteWow!!!!! I think you must have the ORIGINAL Flintstone mobile!!
DeleteIt's always a treat to stop in and see how you are doing, I always get a good laugh!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Saimi! Glad you stopped by!
DeleteFruit flavored flatulence would always be better than the regular stuff, and just think, after taking a poop no air freshener spray would be needed!
ReplyDeleteExactly! See Phil, we DO think alike!
DeleteI can so relate to the computer with 20 tabs open. THat's exactly how my ADD mind works...or "doesn't work."
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine living like that, but in a sense I already am--with my husband, I have to constantly help him stay on track---he gets distracted sooooo easily!
