RTT: Who's listening to you?


If Keely were an alcohol, she'd be like fine wine because her RTT's just get better every week.
If Keely were cheese, she'd be an Extra Aged Gouda...only getting better as the years go on.
If Keely were a...ahh, frig, I dunno...don't you get the point already? She fracking rocks & so does her RTT. So head on over, read what she's spewing this week, do your own & link up!

Last night while laying in bed, I started thinking about being pregnant. I'm one of those weirdos who likes being pregnant. I started thinking that maybe I don't want to wait 4-5yrs until we have a 3rd. And then Claire reminded me all. day. long. why we're waiting until they are both in school. At one point she looked at me & gave me the toddler version of "blah blah blah." I. Came. Unglued.

Anyone else with one of each...does it seem like your boy is more sensitive? Roo should win an award for his dramatics.

The downside to attending the 4th in a small town? I had not one, not two, but SEVEN fireworks thrown at my car while I was driving. All by the same redneck fam chilling on their golf cart. In their front yard. In a town with no golf course.

While at the pool the other day, I had the following chain of thoughts: "When did little kids start getting so fat? I mean seriously. That 6yo weighs almost as much as I do!" "Whaaaaaat? When did teenagers start wearing such skimpy bikinis? I mean, sure, I wore one when I still had a body, but no way I'd go out in public like that." "Am I seriously thinking these things? Lord, I'm turning into my grandma."

Ever notice that waiting rooms, no matter what type of place they're in, never have clocks in them?

The funky lump on my finger? A Ganglion cyst. Yeah. It just sounds nasty, so I have no desire to ask Dr. Google what it looks like. And apparently it's so big that my doctor doesn't feel comfortable removing it himself, so I'm off to see a hand doc in a few weeks. Last week I said it had doubled in size since I found it? It's doubled in size again. If it keeps growing like this, I'm not going to be able to bend my finger any more.

So Cranky Neighbor (not to be confused with Crazy Neighbor) is a royal B & has done her best to make me feel unwelcome since we moved in. Today? I realized that she had her baby monitor on the same frequency as ours. And hers was constantly drowning mine out. I heard some pretty ugly stuff on there. And my heart got all big & puffy when I saw the look on her face after telling her she may want to change her frequency. Yes, Nagzilla, I heard the things you screamed at your kids today. And no, I won't be sending my kids to the school you teach at.

Now. You. Yes, you! Go random it up.

That's one of my biggest fears, that one of the neighbors will hear us on the baby monitor. We're crazy, yo. I don't need anybody listening to our brand of crazy. Plus, we gossip about the neighbors while we stare out the windows in the kid's rooms.

Yeah, a 3rd? Really? You're crazy too. No more kids are coming out of this body. Ever.

I can't believe you told her!!! Well, maybe I can because you don't want to listen to her bitch, but still!!

Also, please take a picture of your amorphous growth and text it to me. I feel as though I'm going to be grossed out, but it's QUADRUPLED in size! I have to know what having a key lime under your finger skin looks like. And no...I don't think I'll google it either.

LMAO @ no golf course, that's funny stuff right there!

Ganglion's are not pretty. I had one on my left wrist and they tried to inject steroids several times. Finally had it cut out. Yuck! It almost looked like I was growing another thumb out of my wrist lol.

And I LOVED being pregnant too! I had so much fun!

Great randomness!

Small town Fourth of July's are something, aren't they!? A person hasn't lived til they've been to a few!

Good luck with that cyst. I've heard they are "simple" to have removed. And yet, this is coming from someone who has NO experience with them. So basically, what I am saying is, I Know Nothing!!

LOL at your baby monitor experience! Your neighbor sounds like she sucks.

Great RTT!

Not been here before. Pretty cool blog. A 9 month old, huh? Mine's 9 months. He's my only. Not sure I could handle two little ones!

Lucky for me, no one near us even has a baby, so no baby monitor trouble there. Unlucky for Ethan that I have no idea who he'll play with when he gets older!

I've been thinking about #3 too lately. I miss being pregnant. But, we are waiting at least another year before we get cracking.

that's nuts about the baby monitor. i'd never even thought about that!

OMG! You can't change the frequency on your baby monitor. If nothing else it will make you feel like MOTHER OF THE YEAR after listening to the crazy neighbor! :)

I just happened to think--I used to have a cyst on my second toe on my right foot (very specific) and it grew pretty large (about the size of the tip of my toe if not a little bigger). I had it for about 4 years and it just went away on its own. Just thought I'd share some family medical history with you lol. Also, I had it for so long that my third toe sort of formed around it and now there's a space where the cyst used to be. ALIEN FEEEEEET.

you make me want to get a baby monitor so I can listen in on my neighbors!

I loved being pregnant...I def don't want another child though. Mine is nearing 17---seems like a bad move to start over now!

I don't ever golf but I do want a golf cart.
I can't believe someone through fire crackers at you!! What do you do to your neighbors???

Kick the rednecks butts! Hopefully that will teach Scary Neighbor to be nicer to her babies??? I am wanting to go to nursing school and the morbid side of me would like to see this thing on your hand :) The kids are fatter and sluttier than in our day. The worst: the fatter and sluttier ones that are the same kid and wear the skimpy swimsuits...yikes!!

I actually find it makes me a more patient mother if I keep thinking "Someone may be listening in on the baby monitor"....

What? Some days I just really need to fake it, okay??

Isn't a ganglion that thing at the back of your throat?
