Cups Up! Quote of the Week...

"God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly, the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met." Farrah Fawcett 



Is that why I can't understand the gibber that comes out of their mouths?  I MUST be doing it right then Darling...

Mommy? Tell Me About the Time You Slept With ALL Your Roommates...

Well Helloooooo my Darling Friend!  It’s been awhile now hasn’t it?  I’ve certainly missed your company and I know you’ve missed me too.  

Traveling from lipstick counter to lipstick counter has not been as exciting as I thought it would be... What??  Caffe not excited about lipstick shopping?... 

Well my Dear, I adore the lipsticks, it was the bad Mommy behaviors all around me that distracted me so!  Come make yourself comfy and let me fill your cup, I think it’s been too long since my last Mommy Lesson...

I don’t know what it is... I just can’t seem to put my finger on it.  Hmmm... bad decisions, neglecting to be consistent, or maybe it’s just a lack of education.  I’ve been searching high and low just like my quest for unleaded lipsticks for a reason as to why parenting has become... ummm... well... parenting just sucks nowadays!  There, I said it and I’ll probably get hate mail on my first day back!

What happened to the days that what Mommy says goes?  Where has the strength of saying, “NO!” gone?  Why are others so quick to judge a Mommy who is actually disciplining her child?  Who are all these so called child rearing “experts” and if they are an "expert", shouldn’t they have at least ONE child?  Don’t get me started on these "experts" who have never experienced waking up in the middle of the night to a crying baby to change a poopy diaper, and then change it again because in the middle of the change, more poop came out of baby’s behind and your eyes are bleary because you’ve been doing this every 2 hours for the last month!  

Hmmmph... my lipstick is starting to smudge and I’m going down the wrong path as I often do!  Now Darling, I’ve had a bit much caffeine and I’m so irritated with the ridiculous behaviors that almost resembles... do I dare say it?  Well of course I’ll say it...   

Parenting today resembles reality TV shows!  

Think about it, one of the very first popular reality show that came on TV was... come on, you know the answer... The Real World.  Believe it or not, TRW has been on TV for 28... twenty-eight, TWENTY-EIGHT seasons!

We can say that reality shows are make believe and scripted all we want, but after 28 seasons (or about 20 years) of “reality” becoming less and less so, and it’s now more about how outrageous the show can be, does outrageous seem normal to most now?  It’s a thought, and this just might be the answer I was looking for.  Can the bad parenting of today be connected to the “reality” of TV shows that have taken away the standards of what it means to be a moral and ethical person?

I think I should ponder this question on another shopping spree...   

Well off you go, I'm headed to the nearest lipstick counter to smooth my irritation with a little color as this conversation has frazzled me so!  Until I get back from my next purchase... Ta Ta my Dear Friend!

You Can Find Me in the Lipstick Aisle...

Oh!  Well Hello my Darling... I didn’t hear you coming, you caught me by surprise!  That’s okay, it wasn’t like you caught me in my lace undies looking at myself in the mirror again... Come on in, I’ll brew us a fresh pot to fill our cups...

You know my Dear, I’m simply delighted that you stopped by.  It has been a zoo around my household lately and the day turns to night as quickly as I can reapply my favorite lipstick.  No Darling, I haven’t forgotten you, and you know you’re in my heart always.

I’ve been thinking... oh cut it out, I won’t get you into trouble this time... though you have to admit, getting into mischief with moi can be quite exhilarating!  Think of all the lovely neighbors that would admire our precision work decorating their trees and shrubs with TP!  Ahhhh the memories...

Now, what was I saying again?  OH... thinking.  Yes, I’ve been thinking about this little piece of web space known as Caffeinated OC Mommy and I think... I think... I think I’m going to take a little break and go on a mission.  A mission Caffe?  Yes a mission Darling!  I’m going to travel around to exotic locations looking near and far for the most delightful lipstick counters from all the little boutiques to the big boxed shopping malls!  What kind of mission did you think I meant?

I say there’s no time like the present, so I’ll start today!  I won’t be back until I have searched every counter at every store looking for the beautiful colors that I soooo long for... and when I’m done, I’ll return refreshed with a whole new collection of bold, shimmery stories lipsticks to quench your my desires!  Oooooh, I better get started...

So off you go, but before you leave... Cups Up! *clink*  TaTa for now my Dear Dear Friend!  xoxo
