  • Daddy’s Club

    Zoe’s Daily Funny
    When we walk into Zoe’s school in the morning all the kids that get dropped off early are way in the back of the room playing either on the mat or with building blocks on the table and are being supervised by Zoe’s teacher, Mrs Marisol. Usually we head straight to her cubby first to put her things away. I’m usually walking ahead of Zoe and sometimes I hear her behind me announcing her presence. To her teacher. But it sounds like it’s to the world…

    Zoe: MRS MARISOL! I’M HERE! I’M HERE! IT’S ZOE! HEY MARISOL I’M HERE! I’M HERE MRS MARISOL! HEY HEY MARISOL! I SAID I’M HERE!

    Good grief my ears.


    So for the past 2 days, Zoe’s father has been trying to recruit the kids to come to “Daddy’s Club” and abandon ship at “Mommy’s Club”. Whatevs. Do I care? No. And yes once again he has resorted to talking about my “big butt” to get a giggle from Zoe to recruit her. That’s low you bastage. But whatever. I let it slide. I actually start to laugh when I hear them talking about their club. Cause it’s how he’s recruiting her that makes me laugh. By making fun of me aka your wife aka your babies’ mama. And surprisingly he was winning her over but then she started getting all wishy washy and one second she was in my club, the next second she was in his so he told her she couldn’t be in his club because she couldn’t make up her mind so she came over to me and I told her she couldn’t be in mine for the same reason and she started to bawl. Hahaha I know we’re mean so her dad took her back. I am memberless. It’s just me. And I RIKE IT A ROT.This is all going on while I’m doing the dishes. So then it’s bed time and we move upstairs. So I forgot what I was doing in the bathroom but I told him to hurry up and get her ready for bed because it was past 9 and they were fooling around. So then this is how he tries to win her over even more…

    Hubs: (mocking me) Hurry up and get her ready for bed! Zoe mommy’s no fun.
    Zoe: Yeah!
    Hubs: She’s always trying to ruin our fun. She’s such a party pooper.
    Zoe: Yeah! She always does.
    Hubs: That’s why you’re in daddy’s club right? Cause daddy’s so much fun.
    Zoe: Yeah and Kayden too and mommy’s all by herself.
    Hubs: Yeah because she doesn’t know how to have fun.
    Zoe: Yeah she doesn’t.

    Omigod. Eye roll. Snore. Eye roll.
    Then I heard him say….

    Hubs: Zoe I love this! You’ve been oppressing daddy for 3 years! I waited so long!

    So pathetic and sad and desperate hello.

    Me:  You’re so sad. The levels of low you will go to win her over by talking crap about her mother.
    Hubs: Zoe mommy’s jealous!
    Zoe: Yeah! Because she’s not in your club.
    Hubs: YEAH!

    You see? I try not to laugh but I started laughing like a donkey.

    Me: Hahahaha… Ok fine. Ultimate test. Ask her if you can sleep with her tonight.

    Gotta say, he looked a little hesitant. Or should we say scared?

    Hubs: Zoe can ahbah sleep with you tonight?
    Zoe: No I wanna sleep with mommy.

    Talk to the palm cause you ain’t da bomb.
    I love my family. It’s never boring here at Casa Susan.

  • Product Review: Sesame Street Envirosax

    I love these bags. I got the Big Bird one for Zoe to put her blanket in for school and after Kayden was born I got him the Cookie Monster one to carry his fitted sheet, blanket, and bumper for school. You can get these at Amazon for under $10 or you can get the complete set for around $40. Or if you live near me you can buy them at the store across from Baby Cotton at Riverside Mall.

    Zoe’s Daily Funny:
    So this month we’re planning on moving around A LOT of furniture. We’re trying to get Kayden set up with his own bedroom and since Zoe is older I feel like she should get a bigger room. SOOOO we’re moving our office space downstairs to the family/man room, my mil into the office space, Zoe into my mil’s room, and Kayden into Zoe’s room. Zoe claims that she’s going to sleep in her own room by herself (this I gotta see) after she moves into her new room. I told her we could paint it together and she’s really excited. In fact, so excited that she went into her grandmother’s room earlier this week (when she wasn’t there) and started to tell me how she wanted things once she was situated…

    Zoe: I want my bed over here and my shelf over here.
    Me: Oh really? What about your dresser?
    Zoe: Over there. (pointing) and I want to bring my table up with my Cinderella castle and I want to put it right here.
    Me: Ok.
    Zoe: Can we do it now?!
    Me: Nooooo. We didn’t even paint the room!
    Zoe: Can we paint it now?!
    Me: Zoe. We didn’t even pick the paint color at the store yet.
    Zoe: Can we go pick it now?
    Me: ZOE! Stop. Your grandmother didn’t even move out of the room yet. You have to wait.
    Zoe: Ok (looking disappointed for a split second which then turned into a hopeful smile). Can we move her out now?
    Me: ZOE!!!!

    As you can see, she’s really super excited about the whole thing. I will most definitely post before and afters. So impatient that one. She is that person where if her friend were to get sick and get rushed to the hospital, she’ll yell out as they’re wheeling her away on a gurney “I GOT DIBS ON CRYSTAL’S CUBBY SPACE!!!!”
