Clink. GODDAMNIT! Several days after baby proofing the kitchen and I still open the lower cupboards without remembering unhook the new plastic latch on the inside. “Don’t worry”, Kurt said mocking me after hearing the ‘clink’ of my latest attempt, “You’re smart. You’ll figure it out after three tries or less.” He’s such an ASS!

Is that what all this “yahtzee” stuff is about? I figured it had something to do with the 5′s in 55… but there weren’t enough of them. I digress.
Erica, next time just throw your stole at him. That’ll fix his ass. Better yet, super glue a childproof cap shut on something only he’d use and then sit back and watch the fun.
Ciara, men aren’t so much born with an ass gene as they’re just emotional retards until they turn about 40. (Shut up… that’s what I tell myself to keep from feeling bad about being… erm… “over 40″.)

*clink* SHHHHHT! *glares at the baby* This is your fault! *clink* DAMMIT!
That was a recurring scene a few years ago when my parents’ kitchen was baby-proofed for when my niece would visit. I lived your 55, Erica. Well, except for the ass part… but it’s not too late. I could meet someone and experience that yet. Maybe.

Tell THEM to change role for once! That will teach them. I bet they will not be able to handle a baby for a week!
Wow! Erica, that is YOU in that picture? You are so beautiful !
Now I know where the adorable baby got her beauty from! That photo of hers in the cold bath post is gorgeous!

I’m still laughing at Mojo’s comment. I seriously hope (but doubt) that men over 40 are not asses.
Great 55!
I’m up here

You’re doing much better than me. I haven’t even childproofed the majority of my cabinets. Instead, I just run around after my kids yelling “No!” all day long.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:17 am
LOL I remember those days, well don’t quite remember them as they were several years ago. I enjoyed your 55, brought a smile to my face.
Have a great weekend.
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:34 am
Have you put in a child-proof toilet seat yet??? That will surely bring more laughs!
Love your blog and what you’ve done with the theme. How did you customized your pictures in the header? Did you need photoshop?
Looks great,
Julie

ciara – congratulations on popping the cherry on this 55. hehehe
Mojo – Yeah, I didn’t know about the “yahtzee” stuff either. My stole was declawed, so he’s pretty much useless as a weapon except maybe against spiders.
smarmoofus – I’ll help you find one that isn’t an ass (if such a thing exists)
August 23rd, 2008 at 1:15 am
Akelamalu – hahaha how do you think we’ve lasted for NINE and a half YEARS. Gah! I feel old now.
August 23rd, 2008 at 1:17 am
mona – Thank you, thank you
Oh and he’ll get his turn soon. It won’t be for a week, but I’ll be going on a trip and leave him to tend to the baby for three days. 
August 23rd, 2008 at 1:22 am
G-Man – Thank you so much G
signgurl – *ppsstt* They’re still asses, just OLDER asses.
*snicker*
christy – We don’t have a very big kitchen so it was only a ten minute job to secure the lower cabinets from *me*
Missy – Thank you Missy

Julie G – Thank you and yes the layout for the theme was done in PhotoShop. The author provides the original Photoshop file and I added my own pictures to it. Nope we haven’t baby-proofed the toilet. I just close the doors to the bathrooms because she does like to play in the wastebasket.
August 23rd, 2008 at 1:30 am
JaniceNW – hahaha yep, that’s Kurt, AGGRAVATING!
The drool monster is doing ok. She has four teeth. 
She’s more of a snot monster right now though. She’s sick, AGAIN!
