My son knows that I blog. He thinks it hysterical and swears he is someday going to write a book entitled “My Mom’s a Blogger”. He thinks we are a bunch of sweet little ladies only discussing our children and cooking tips. He was here last Monday and I took him shopping. On the way back he I said I had to get to get to the computer. He wanted to know what was so important so I told him it was ‘P’ day on Tuesday and that was the day we listed thing we were grateful for beginning with P.
You can imagine the look I got from an 18 year old boy. The look was half superior, half condescending as he reached over to pat my leg and said “Mom you’re so lame.” I content myself with knowing he could possible have a psychotic break if he ever reads what if actually write. So as the lame mother of 2 teenagers, I will begin my Q’s:
Quickie- I know we all love the long, slow-paced, loving, passionate afternoon into evenings, but lets not for get the joy of an unexpected quickie!
Quilt – I know I used this last week too, but I do so love quilts. I love the color, the texture and the history of a quilt. As it gets colder and colder I love them more and more.
Qualm - If we didn’t have qualms about some of the things we like all this spanking would lose some of its mystery.
Questions – I love to ask questions of other, it’s what I do for a living. Its fun when people as me questions, especially if I don’t have to answer if I don’t want to.
Quote - I have a book where I write quotes I like. My sister (who writes fan fiction on for the X-Files on the internet) has the following quote from Robert Heinlein on all her emails to me
“Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.”
I think of that more and more as I write!
Quiver- That delicious feeling you get when your lovers tongue touches you anywhere.
Quintuplet- I am so grateful that I didn’t have them!
Quirt- This is a special leather riding whip of braided leather with a short handle. See the things you learn blogging.
Quietude – I love the feeling of peace and tranquility this can bring on. ‘Quiet’ is not a normal in my life and when I get it I treasure it.
Quirk- We all have our own quirks and we have all made each other feel comfortable about at least one of them.
That’s about all this lame mother has to offer today. I am looking forward to everyone’s Q’s.
Well for a "lame mom" you came up with a pretty hip list.
ReplyDeleteOh, if he only knew...oops what am I saying? We don't want him to know. Could you imagine the title to his tell all book? "My Mom the Spanko Sex Blogger...a real life recount of the humiliating realization that I wasn't left here by a stork and other equally traumatic incidences!" Watch for the sequel "My Dad the Swinger...a real life recount of my humiliating realization that Mom didn't spank herself and he told me not to hit my sister!"
Loved your list, Elis...hooray, you included 'quirt!' That's you and me so far.
**Big Hugs**

Hi Elis. Great list. I would never have imagined all the Q-things to be grateful for. Thanks for the reminders. D :}
ReplyDeleteI started to tell Will I needed to work on Q's when he told me to go to bed at 8. Instead I just begged for 9. I love Quiver, and Quintuplets. I got Quiver and agree on the other.
ReplyDeleteI guess I never made the connection that both our boys are 18, since mine is still a senior. Cool huh.
Hugs
Theresa
Welcome to the lame mothers of the world club!
ReplyDeleteTodays topic: Kissing your children in front of their peers, and The clothes that make the lame, lamer!!!
Loved your list Babe! Keep up the good work on being lame. It's a title that I cherish!
HUGS!

Dear Elis, one day your boys are going to look back and say, "what a lot mom learnt in such a short time". Love you list dear girl, we learn all the time.
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs,
Paul.
Excellent list PK! And the only way you will EVER be a lame mom is if Nick gets a little extra frisky... lame, my ass... your son is so incredibly lucky to have such a worldly mom who understands so well!
ReplyDeleteLove ya, you wicked wench, you! *grin*
Now wait.
ReplyDeleteCooking tips? Are you serious? You've convinced your son that you are discussing cooking on here? And what rewards has he reaped from these..... ummmm... discussions?
Ahhh hahahahahaha
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying.
So what's for dinner?
Eva
There have been great list again this week, yours included.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Luv,
Lily.
Elis - I've got a 19 y/o son, and I can see him doing and saying the exact same thing. I just look at him and think "If you only knew!" Love your list.
ReplyDeleteBrian,
ReplyDeleteI hope Diane gets her diet under control soon since she doesn't find this quite as much fun as the rest of us. Even if its good for her, I want her to be happy!
Beautiful, CeeCi, beautiful!! Truly if my son found out, after he got over the initial shock, would probably laugh his ass off. My daughter would crawl under her bed and never come out for the rest of her life.
Diane, Q's are interesting. Hope all is going well for you.
Theresa,
Yeah, they are close in age. He will be 19 in Feb. He thinks he is grown and I guess he pretty much is.
Grace,
Imagine the horror of having your mother teaching at your school! Today is Mollie's birthday and she was in such terror that I would do something to embarrass her I had to make a special trip to the lunch room while she was there just for the scare factor. I did nothing but walk through but it freaked her out!
Paul,
I remember how much smarter my parents got as I got older.
Tiggr
That boy and I enjoy each other. Hope you are having a great trip.
Eva,
Stop laughting, I cooked once last month!
Lily,
I am so grateful to CeeCi for starting all this!
Maggie and Anne Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI can't help but laugh when I know the truth and realize how they view us. I stop laughing, however, when I think back to how boring I thought my parents were and wonder!!
Brian,
That sounds wonderful to me! I should have such a life! I have no doubt that your love is growing!
Elis
Elis - I would like to continue thinking my parents were (and are!!) boring. lol Any other thought makes my brain hurt.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how cruel you were to your daughter on her b'day. Walking thru the lunchroom like that. Evil you are, just evil!!! WEG
