[ilovelucyvv]

1. I don't swear much. I say "crap" a lot but I don't think that really counts.

2. People typing GM instead of good morning. for some reason it drives me nuts.

3. Regina's mom from Mean Girls but only if I can keep my brain

Excellent learning moment for us that made DH clean up his language. We were in Target with DD when she was just starting to talk. DH dropped something and DD with a huge, proud smile said, "Fucking damn it, Daddy!" Like "oh, I know what to say when you drop something! I do not believe he has said that phrase since.

I shouldn't laugh but I am.

A fellow tee ball mom said when she was putting her 3 year old to bed the other night the little girl said "this is fucking stupid" when the mom told her she couldn't say that she said "then why can daddy"

There were tears when I heard that one.

I heard the best response to this the other day, of all places it was an interview with Kenny Rogers. He said he was letting his boys watch one of his movies when there was some choice language in it.  He told the boys they were old enough to hear the language but not old enough to use it. He said they were 12, but I think that could work at any age and I plan on using it with DS.

Oooh that is a good one!

1) Bullshit
2) People who don't know how ti use Excel. I'm not saying it's a universally necessary skill, but in my department, it is. If you don't know how to scroll left and right to see the rest of a spreadsheet? You should be fired.
3) If everyone else wants to be Claire Dunphy, maybe I do too? But I don't know her.

This so much. I cringe when I see certain people use excel.

1. Favorite swear word. The F word. I say for F@%D’s sake a lot. I’m really trying to watch that since I’m afraid that DD will bust that out in front of my mil

2. Biggest work pet peeve. People not understanding the concept of a deadline.

3. If you could be any fictional mom you wanted, who would you be? Kristina Braverman from Parenthood

[k3am]

1. Fuck. I'm not very original.

2. Meetings that start late. And end late. (Heck.. just meetings in general.)

3. Evie's mom on Out of This World. Kidding, but for some reason, I've been thinking of that show a lot lately. There's clearly something wrong with me.

Farts!

I think my biggest pet peeve is not having the time for special projects that I had hoped for. Every time I make some improvements in productivity that should theoretically free up some time later in the month for special projects, more gets added to my recurring workload and it eats away my productivity. I feel like I can't make any progress on the couple special projects I have. But really, at this time I have no pet peeves. I LOVE my department!

Oh! Probably Claire Huxtable.

1. Fu*#  The most versatile word in our language.  


2. People who think they're above the rules.....


3. Did anyone read Elf Quest as a kid?  I admire those moms.  They protect their "cubs," have totally sexy bodies and are, like, amazing fighters and such.  
In reality, I'm more the lawyer mom on Parenthood.  Except her hair and clothes are much nicer than mine.....
