#NaughtyMommy Happenings - Sad Face

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

I'm trying a new punishment system with my kids, and they are not fans.  The thing is, they always break my stuff.  Or color on it.  Or pull it apart.  Or use it however they want.  Or hide it.  And it makes me crazy mad!  They never do that to Brian (okay, they do a little, but not nearly as often).  And I'm with them ALL.THE.TIME so it makes it way more severe, I'm sure of it.  Anyways, I decided that when they take something of mine without asking, I take something of theirs.  This really only works on Anika, the 3-year-old, but it really really works!  I take her favorite stuffed animal, and put it in my room.  And when she cuts something of mine, I cut a piece of her princess dress (dress-up = favorite thing ever).  And today when she pulled the backing off of every single pack of my post-it notes (you know, the brown paper thing that covers the back sticky so it doesn't get all nasty), I asked her to go find something of hers that I could break.  The post it thing may not seem like a big deal, but 1) it is way effing annoying, and 2) she really has to learn boundaries with possessions.  Anyways, she brought me one of her ladybug dress-up skirts, and I tore it a little.  I always do it severely enough to show how it feels, but not so much that it ruins anything.  I was impressed that she chose something that she actually loves, last time she brought me a piece of paper to "break".  She was sad but didn't cry, and was pretty relieved when we told her it didn't have to be thrown away.  I really think this new method will work, but it sure isn't easy.

Herrrooooo from Florida. Dude, I slept until 3pm this afternoon. No joke! Totally needed it ... I hadn't gotten more than 3 hours of sleep a night all week. It's just kinda weird though when you are consistently doing things you enjoy, being tired doesn't really feel all that bad. 

MEEHHH!!! just spent the night watching wrestling. Yep ... wrestling. Don't worry there will be a post tomorrow, HA! It was great.

I just cant begin to express the gratitude that I am feeling. I kinda can't believe that this is my life. I just get to consistently do cool shit. Don't get me wrong, its not easy ... it takes an incredible amount of determination and overall hard work, but fuck man! This is my life!! How did that happen?? I don't even know where to begin regarding 2011. This whole concept of having the brand that you gave birth to, and nursed for a year come to TV is just a fucking trip. Again, I know that we have still have a LOT of work to do, and I know that we have to present to the networks ... but between @bryceless, the Hollywood god, @benparr, I mean ... this team is just CRAZY AWESSOMMEEE!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I admire these people ... it's un-be-weave-able!

This was truly a project born out of love - there's just no butts about it. I have no idea how these things are exactly going to play out - but that's not my job. My job is to keep watching the trends, stay plugged into the tech portion, and smile upon request.

It just boggles my mind that lifecasting is a completely sustainable existence. For reals!! Bloggers eventually burn themselves out ... as do journalists ... but a lifecasters job is to just be open to any and or all experience. Albeit, it does take a certain type of personality ... etc ... but its amazing!! Greatest Time To Be Alive!! EVER.EVER.EVER.

Thank you guys so much for being in my life! Always feel free to tweet me: @JenFriel or drop me a love note on Facebook. I love love love love love hearing from you guys!!!

Stuck-up Women #HATE Faux-Hawks!

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Um, yeah.  Just finished up dinner with some friends, and this bitchy lady just glared at us (meaning me) the entire time!  What the frick?  And it wasn't just like a dirty look because I offended her (which I totally did when I asked my daughter if she was being an asshole), but like over and over looks.  Like staring the ENTIRE time.  Luckily my back was to her, but I was still unimpressed.

Dear Cougar-wannabe:

Yes, I choose to style my hair in a fauxhawk.  I also treat my children like normal people, and I talk to them the same way I do my friends.  Yes, I have three kids.  And yes, I let them be silly from time to time.  I could see how them giggling and trying to make their baby sister laugh could be offensive.  I can also understand that my choice in clothing (a flannel blouse and capri pants) could also be offputting.  About the hawk, I'm sorry it is clean, smells nice and is styled well.  As for my gorgeous husband and friends, you will have to take up your complaints with them.  Also, I'm sorry that your hair looks like dried out corn silk, and unfortunately for you, the BumpIt isn't hiding anything.  And just a tip, black eye makeup is no longer trendy, and just looks sad on a woman in their fifties.  Something you might consider - pay as much attention to your husband as you do to me and my family, and maybe he won't feel the need to check out my ass as I leave.

So ... I was totally just stuck in an elevator ...

OMG! @bernardosays is totally going to be added to my Zombie Apocalypse list now.

The other night I went to the E!, Style Network, and G4 holiday party with @bernardosays. Yeah, AH-MAZING! Thanks again dude. It was over in Westwood, so we parked the car in the lot at the UCLA Medical Building. We then ran over to grab the elevator in one of those partially dramatic moments of near miss ... and the thing friggen stopped.

What's a good lifecaster to do??? Tweet about it ...

I was shocked I had service, but not complaining. There were 6 of us in the elevator, and the guy that was closest pressed the "emergency call" button.

After a few rings, we heard, "Welcome to the Elevator Help Line!" Yep! Apparently the same crowd that does MovieFone outsources their talent for other meaningful life experiences. HAHA!! Dude, I was laughing so hard. We were stuck in there for about 15 minutes, which trust me, is a lot longer than it seems. We all stayed pretty calm, but what a way to kick off the night.

These are all actual pics that I snapped ... again, is it normal to get stuck in an elevator and think, how can I lifecast this?? HAHA!!

Look at the hand marks on the elevator. Clearly this has happened before ...

One of the guys eventually just pried open the door, and after a hop up, away we went to the party. Pretty hilarious though, not gonna lie.

But if you live in LA, watch out for those elevators at the UCLA medical building. That was so not kosher for passover. BAHHHH!! Either way, thanks for the well wishes guys! =) You all knock my nerdy socks off. RAWWRRRRRRR

#NaughtyMommy Happenings - Poop

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Oh my flippin mcflipster god.  I just got poop on my finger!  No no no and no, not okay.  Basically, poop is my life.  I have 3 kids, 3 dogs and 3 cats.  They all poop frickin all the time, even though I have kindly requested that they stop.  That being said, I do not have the gag reflexes of a mom.  I have the gag reflexes of a high school girl dissecting a mouse.  Which is funny since I can dissect a mouse without gloves on.  Ugh, kids are gross.

Follow me on Twitter for more ridiculousness!
