The cohabitants at my house were driving me crazy yesterday. My husband was teasing me relentlessly, my kids were utterly obnoxious, and the dog - well, he came in with a frozen piece of poo in his mouth and deposited it in front of his crate. Then he vomitted.
"You guys are barbarians!" I said, utterly exasperated.
"Mama is blowing fire out of her nostrils," said my husband.
"Yeah, and smoke out of her ears," said my son.
The dog just looked at me and started licking up his vomit.
I shook my head.
The man continued. "Woman, I am going to ground you."
"What are you talking about?" I said, getting even madder. "You can't ground me! I'm not a kid!"
"You're grounded!"
"Fine. But I'm taking my violin up to my room with me."
So my violin and I were grounded for two hours. But at least I got some good practice time in!
Haha, your hubby didn't know he was actually giving you a well deserved (from the sounds of it) break by grounding you.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...maybe my wife will ground me...? :)
Haha! Yes, being grounded wasn't so bad at all!
Deleteso you have one of those teasing mates too----yeah----i would have grounded myself!----cute as always :)
ReplyDeleteI should get grounded more often!
DeleteHah! As ridiculous as it seems to me to ground a mom, at least you got some time to relax with a hobby you love!
ReplyDeleteI needed some time by myself. I felt much better afterwards!
DeleteSeriously . . . grounding you was the best thing he could have done to you!! Cute :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. ;)
DeleteTeasing, obnoxious, frozen poo and vomit. And grounding on top of it? You have a great sense of humor if everyone in your house is still alive. :-)
ReplyDeleteHa! If I hadn't been grounded that might not have been the case! ;)
Deletehaha at least Schultz is willing to clean up his own mess
ReplyDeleteIsn't he a good dog? :)
DeleteHehe...mum grounded? Well you had a nice relaxing time out of it after all!
ReplyDeleteNas
It was good to be grounded!
DeleteI want to be grounded. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll talk to your husband and see what he can do about that. ;)
DeleteThat might not be a bad idea now that I think about it...hmm. Wondering what I can do to get myself grounded...
ReplyDeleteBlow fire out your nose and smoke out your ears. :)
DeleteI have been grounded all day .....in front of my pc which Chrome for some reason played tricks with my blog.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed all is well now.......I hope.
Yvonne.
I hope it gets fixed! I've missed reading your poems!
DeleteI briefly saw your poem, but it blinked a couple of times and disappeared. Sorry about the problems you've had. Take a little break and then come back to it when you're not fatigued. Good luck!
DeleteIs 'violin' code for vibrator?
ReplyDeleteYou are a seriously twisted individual! ;)
DeleteHey, you walk around with poop in YOUR mouth and see if YOU don't puke.
ReplyDeleteI'm just sayin'...
Yeah, poop in the mouth would have that effect on anyone!
DeleteThat's so gross and hilarious. My little guy screams, "You're fired," when he gets mad. How awesome would it be to be fired for a day?!
ReplyDeleteIt's the best thing that can happen to a mom (at least temporarily)!
DeleteYou showed them. You need to get grounded more.
ReplyDeleteHa! I'll see what I can do about that.
DeletePoop in the mouth. Used to have a dog who did that ALL the time. I loved him, but I don't miss that aspect of his life.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
They say that when dogs eat poop, it's a sign of intelligence. Personally, I'm not so sure about that. ;)
DeleteHa! I love your posts, Sherry. You turn real life situations into humorous stories. It's so great. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have to find the humor in little things, or life can drive you crazy! Glad you enjoy my posts!
DeleteLol, I love how you make us laugh...well, at least you got some alone time!
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed it! ;)
DeleteAmazing! I'm truly enjoying the design of your website. Are you using a custom theme or is this readily available to all individuals? If you do not want to say the name of it out in the general public, please make sure to e-mail me at: marcellalott@gmail.com. I'd really like to

I use blogger, but I designed the header myself. Glad you like it.
DeleteEew :) Being grounded in this situation must have been a nice break.
ReplyDeleteIt was - especially after that disgusting quadroped left his little present!
DeleteSounds like your dog just wanted to give you some presents to cheer you up.
ReplyDeleteHa! At least it resulted in some much needed alone time!
DeleteSounds like you needed that break!! Especially after that gift from the dog.

You got that right!
DeleteSounds like a nice two hour staycation. Not bad.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed every minute of it!
DeleteI didn't mind it at all! And yes, dogs are extremely disgusting. I can't believe I live with one! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe poo and the vomit would have driven me mad too.
ReplyDeleteIt was really gross!
DeleteEwww! Well, I guess it's a dog thing. And at least you had some quiet time being grounded. Hehehe!
ReplyDeleteFrozen poo and vomit? YUCK!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what I'd have to do around here to get grounded. : ) Sounds like your time was put to good use.
