Poetry by Cereal Daddy

Jason would like me to remind everyone out there that what is posted here is copyrighted. It's MY stuff (with the exception of it occassionally being JASON'S stuff) and please don't use it unless you ask first. If it belongs to someone else, I promise to cite it correctly. I actually passed that part of english.

Anyway, Jason has been in writing mood as of late. Keep in mind, he doesn't write like I do. Me, I can go on and on and on and on and ....well, you get the idea. My husband keeps it short and sweet. It's also pretty creative and very humorous. So sit back and enjoy a few poems from the Cereal Daddy set. Oh, they don't have titles. No, I don't know why. I love the man, but hey, titles don't seem to be the focus.

When I grow up, I don't want to be
a student of science or psychology
a doctor or lawyer, a farmer or dentist
police officer, fireman, or pharmacist.

I want to breathe fire and fly through the sky
I want to be a dragon, not a guy in a tie
A great big red dragon with razor sharp claws
and rows of big fangs inside my jaws

Nobody would boss me
no one would be rude
nobody would cross me
or ruin my good mood

I would be a great helper
how useful I'd be
in case somebody's cat
were to get caught in a tree

I could roast you hot dogs
and toast you marshmellows
i'd be the envy
of all the girls and the fellows

I'd sleep in a stadium
because I'm so big
I'd fill it with candy
and eat like a pig

I'd become so famous
that one day I may
instead of the reindeer
go and pull Santa's sleigh

When I grow up
What a dragon I'll be!
Maybe somday
you can come visit me


My cat smells funny
I let her outside
now she reeks
like something that died

She's lickin' her paws
she's lickin' her ear
she's lickin' her belly
she's lickin' her rear

Now I can see
something that makes me turn pale
hanging out of her mouth
Hey, do I see a tail?


I don't like this game
the game doesn't work
i think it is broken
my opponet's a jerk

They are all cheating
I used to be good
when I played by myself
win yes I could

I'll knock all the pieces down
and then run away
it's not my fault
that I'm having a bad day


I'm saving my pennies
for a big shiny car
I'm saving my pennies
right here in this jar

Not for a rainy day
not for skies that are blue
not for some candy
or a gumball to chew

But a great big car
with a convertable top
one I can drive far
without having to stop

So I'm saving my pennies
So I can drive clear to heaven
I hope I've enough pennies
so far, I've got eleven


Jesus can you hear me
If I speak really loud?
I'd telephone if I had the
extenstion for the right cloud

Jesus can you see me
if I jump up and down?
You're you up there
and I'm here on the ground

At least you can smell me
when I don't take a bath
Momma says I stink to high heaven
I'll let you do the math


Prayers and blessings everyone. I hope you enjoyed Jason's silliness and have a wonderful rest of the week.

The Oddball That Is Me

OK, this post was COMPLETELY inspired by Miss Britt. She was posting how she went to the photo shoot for the Hottest Blogger Calendar. I'll end up buying one, just to have it by my desk.

She was talking about how she just didn't know what to do with herself in front of the camera. I completely sympathize with this plight. I don't know how to act "natural" with someone staring at me, with this huge APPARATUS pointing at me. I feel so critiqued and bored in to with the staring eye of that camera. So I end up being silly and goofy. Every freekin' time. So here is a sampling of me, and that silliness. You can kind of tell how old they are by the age reference of Jayden. I'll start with the newest pics and work my way back, with a briefest of brief description before each group.

First off is our most recent endeavor in the realm of family portraits. I posted a couple of weeks ago the digi versions of those. We got the film back this past Friday. These are definately some of the more silly shots, at least containing ME.





Next up we have me modeling the dress that I bought for my sister's bridal shower. Keep in mind that my darling younger sister isn't getting married until April of 2009. The very END of April at that. The bridal shower will be at the end of March. However, I was out shopping one evening, escaping from the kids. I was at the mall, and I went to Dress Barn, where Jenn works. I found a $50 for $20. It is linen and PERFECT for the Tea Party theme that I have in mind for the shower. So I bought it. I tried it on and I realized I have a LOT of slimming that I need to do in order to make it fit better. Because I was SO uncomfortable, I once again acted silly as all get out. This is what happened because of that.



How about weddings? That is a time for serious faces. Thinking about the futur ahead and all that folderall, right? Um, WRONG! Again, the camera comes my way and I'm acting the fool! To follow are pics from my own wedding. Yes, we were married on a bridge over a waterfall. I also made my dress and did a great deal of *assisting* with Teresa's dress. The last photo is at my younger brother's wedding. He would be the really tall guy all in black. My mom was saying "Damnit you guys, I want a NICE photo!"









More posed photos later. Jason was trying SO hard to get some nice ones of me. I really wanted them done. However, that whole "stage fright" thing set in, and when I get I get nervous or scared, out comes the sillies!





Of coarse, last but not least. These photos were taken on the day that Jason formally proposed. AWWW. We were sitting out front documenting Jayden's extreme cuteness with her very first S'More. Me, I'm pretending the camera just isn't there. After all, isn't that what you are SUPPOSED to do? Don't mind the fat and all of that. It was HOT and HUMID and after 4 kids, it's what a body looks like.







Remember, life is to be lived to the fullest, silliness and all. In fact, the more silly and goofy you are, I think it shows the more fun you are having. Prayers and blessings everyone. Enjoy the rest of your week, and make sure to take the time to laugh, be silly, goof off, and get it on film!
