Because I am afraid you will call CPS next

After receiving 4230985 phone calls about Emma's head, I decided I should post a picture. I managed to get this one while she was still asleep. It's not as bad as you thought... right?

Just a little off the forehead, please

Sometimes I get to leave the house alone. It is good and I have no complaints other than this one: If you happen to be the parent left in charge and give the 5-year-old a bath, please remove all adult implements from the bathtub. Namely the razor. Because if she tries to shave her forehead, the results are not pretty.

In Josh's defense, Emma is the one child that we don't generally have to worry about mayhem with. Why on God's green earth she would try to shave her forehead is beyond me. But, a warning to other mothers. Should you come home, and your husband stop you before you get in the door with these words: "I can explain", be afraid.

Pictures to follow. Tomorrow, maybe. She is very self-conscious at this point, which is only exacerbated by the fact that, every where we go, people exclaim, "What happened to your forehead??? Did you cut it?"

Have you ever read Stephanie's blog? What? NO???? Oh, right, that is because it is only on MySpace and the rest of the world can't read it. This is one seriously funny lady, so if you know her, send her an email* and tell her to get the blog out in THE REAL WORLD FOR CHRIST"S SAKE. gahh.
*I have a serious dislike for people who use the phrase "Shoot me an email". If you currently use that phrase, stop immediately. Because it makes you a tool.

Dex has taken to trying to ride other people. Like a pony. Even poor Riley is subjected to this. He is the worst with Claire. Every time she is on the floor, he runs RUNS at full speed toward her shouting, "Car! My Car! Wanna wide my Car!" Claire is not amused. The point (and there is one, I swear): don't sit or lie on the floor near Dex. You will be mounted.

For Jared:

I'm in yer compooters, stealin' yer bloodz...

Seester was in town this weekend, hence the lack of posting*. My kids are now all in love with Jacob. Emma even spoke to him. Actual words in actual sentences. I was dumbstruck.
*At this point, I could fill a book with blogs about "Why I Haven't Been Posting". It will be full of great excuses that you may employ yourself, if you are so inclined

I did pictures recently with Megan and Misty of my SIL Crystal and new niece, Lauren. Because I am a lazy ass, I am just now getting around to dealing with the pictures, but here are some:







I had intended for there to be more to this post, but blogger is all screwy at the moment. I am having to type amidst all the coding for some reason. Anyone know the answer to this? It is hurting my eyes AND my brain!

Where have all the itchy scalp ads gone?

So today I got the electronic equivalent of being sent to the principle's office. My AdSense account was disabled because I was defrauding advertisers. I also had illegal clicking activity. And also, the $40 earned? I can forget about that. It is being returned to the advertisers that I LIED TO.
Seriously Google, why you gotta go all high horse on me? I think seester summed it up best: So, they want people to click on the advertisers' ads. But the clicking, that is bad.

So, anyway, thus closes the chapter of, "How Nicole Stuck it to the Google Advertisers". Stay tuned next week for, "Nicole is Arrested for Double Stacking her CVS Coupons". Okay, only Misty and Laura H will laugh at that. But the three of us are having a nice little chortle about now.

Want some free money?

A new competitor for Paypal is giving out $25 for new accounts until the 15th. If you click on my link, you get $25 and I get $10!!




Even if you don't wind up switching over from Paypal, it is still worth the 25 free dollars- takes five minutes!! Also, you can have the money transferred to your bank account for free or have a check sent for $2.50. I will probably be looking into using this anyway, because there is no fee when you accept a payment from another user- no matter how they pay. Also, I am more than a little irritated to know that Ebay actually owns Paypal, so they are making a crapload of money on both ends. Ha! Me and my $500 dollars in Ebay sales are going to TOPPLE THE BILLION DOLLAR EBAY EMPIRE. muwahahaha
