I went to a costume party the other day. I had NO idea that Michael Jackson was going through all those plastic surgeries and skin bleachings so he could look like me. I'm honored.

I'll just do a train of thought and see where it goes...
I feel like writing a blog but really don't have anything to say, so I'll just start rambling.
Dax wants to be a garbageman for Halloween. How weird is that? That's fine, if that's what he wants to do. I don't care. But how do you find a garbageman costume, exactly? It's not like they sell them at KMart. The problem is that garbagemen pretty much just wear regular clothes, so besides having him carry around a garbagecan, when he goes trick-or-treating, people will think he is one of those kids who is too lazy to wear a costume. The only option I've found is this:
http://www.amazon.com/Zoogster-Costumes-Toddler-UPS-Costume/dp/B000VXIRBA
It's a UPS costume, but I'm thinking I can replace the patches with "Sanitation Department" patches (that I'll have to make, because, again...can't buy those at Kmart) What kind of weirdo kid would want to be a UPS man for Halloween, I wonder? Oh yeah, probably the same kind of weirdo kid who wants to be a garbageman...
I really do enjoy the fact that my kids don't feel the need to conform and all that, but it does make things complicated sometimes. But hey, I really shouldn't complain. At least I don't have to worry about my kid wanting to wear this costume:
http://www.amazon.com/Girls-Sweet-Witch-Costume-Child/dp/B000H8MBT8/ref=sr_1_43?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1251311403&sr=1-43
I have nothing against black satin, lace and corsets, but I do kind of have issues with a toddler sized 4-6 wearing black satin, lace and corsets. Can we say JonBenet?
Speaking of Halloween, I had a creepy moment about a month ago. See, the thing is, sometimes I have moments where I really question my sanity. Not in a "Oh, I'm so silly and crazy" kind of way. But like in a "Has my brain broken" serious sort of way. I was at Walgreens and there was all of this Halloween candy and stuff out, along with a sign saying "Save on seasonal sales!" And I thought my brain broke because I actually, seriously considered the fact that I went to be thinking it was July and woke up in October. I looked at a magazine date, and felt better when it said it was July (I'm not kidding. I really did. I'm that insecure as to my sanity sometimes) Stores need to stop putting the holiday stuff out months before you need it. Not only does it make you sick of the holiday way before it gets here, but it also makes people think they might have accidentally time traveled to the future.
See, this is why I need to blog with a set topic in mind. I said I'd do a train of thought and see where it goes, and I end up telling a story about me thinking I'm a time traveler. Good lord. Do other people's brain work like this too?

Michael Jackson Dance Party
These are old news to you if you're my friend on Facebook.
We just recently figured out how to link our camcorder to the computer. I've taken a bit of footage of my kids, and our daily ritual---Michael Jackson Dance Party Hour. It's a good time. You should come some time.

How to brainwash your child into awesomeness.
TV is a good babysitter.
That's not PC to say, I realize. But it's true. Every mom knows it. And I feel no guilt about letting the TV babysit my kids on a daily basis. In the morning when I'm drinking my coffee and trying to become a person, they watch cartoons. In the afternoons, in the deathly hours after lunch and after we've played outside and gone anywhere we possbily could go, but before my husband gets home and we eat dinner, they watch TV. There's nothing else to do. I'm with the kids 24/7. If it were not for the TV amusing my kids a few hours a day, I'd totally lose it.
Anyway, there are 8 million gazillion DVDs for kids out there. Most of them suck socks. Seriously. I would rather scratch my ears out than overhear the Wiggles. Barney is a real creep. Calliou is a huge whiner and whenever my kids watch him, they start talking in the same creepy whine.
So I'm actually pretty picky about what I put on TV for the kids. I don't let them watch annoying shit, which means they watch a lot of awesome stuff that I like instead. I think this has really added to making them interesting little people. They aren't going around bugging grownups by quoting Dora the Explorere, you know? They're well rounded. And they really like the stuff I show them as more than the weirdo kid stuff at this point. They're cool kids.
So I'd like to share my recommendations of what to movies will entertain your kids, keep them out of your hair for an hour or two, and not be completely irritating to overhear.
1.) Muppet Show ---last year, my kids were into the 1970s Muppet Show. And for good reason. It's freaking great. My kids are very into music, much more than I was as a kid. I remember when I was a kid, and the special musical guest did their number, it was boring as hell. But that's my kids favorite parts. They know all sorts of crazy old songs that no one else their age knows because of the Muppet Show. Crocodile Rock, Day-O, Spinning Wheel... Plus, Miss Piggy is pretty much the best fictional character ever invented. I want to be Miss Piggy when I grow up.
2. "Best of Bowie"---This was the first of any sort of television that my oldest son watched. He hated regular TV but seriously loved this DVD compilation of David Bowie videos and live performances. The kid knows "Rebel Rebel" by heart. How cool is that.
3. Michael Jackson Dangerous: Live in Bucharest----This is the HBO concert that was filmed in the early 1990's. Good lord, MJ put on an amazing show. The kids love this, and usually if I put it on for them, I can't stay away. They dance along, and I break out the hula hoop (I've lost an inch in my waist solely due to hula hooping to Michael Jackson
4. Sesame Street Old School---this is a dvd compilation of old school 1970s Sesame Street. Completely different show than current Sesame Street. It even has a parental warning at the beginning, stating that some material might not be suitable for today's child. Whatever. Did you know Oscar was orange in the first season? That is fucked up. The best part though, is that Elmo is nowhere to be seen. When Elmo came on the scene, Sesame Street totally jumped the shark.
5. Elmo's Potty Time---Considering my last statement about the red furry one, it's strange that I am recommending one of his movies. It is the ONLY kid movie we watch in our house. I bought it to help my twins with their pottytraining. Dax literally took YEARS to pottytrain, so I was very much dreading starting the process with the twins. We started watching the Elmo potty movie, and those little guys pretty much pottytrained themselves. Quinn was pottytrained immediately as soon as we started the process, and Heath took like a month. Amazing. I thank Elmo for that. Any bad feelings I have towards Elmo kind of disappear when I remember that he saved me from changing any more diapers and dealing with all that shit (literally and figuratively speaking). I have three potty trained children. I never thought that day would come. And actually, the potty movie is pretty funny. It's always funny to talk about poop and pee. There's jokes in that movie for the grownups too.
6. Wizard of Oz---my kids went through a phase of watching this pretty much every day. They know it by heart, and quote it all the time. And I love it that none of my kids are pussies---they aren't scared of the witch or flying monkeys at all. A lot of wimpier kids would be. My kids aren't wimps.
7. Michael Jackson "The Number Ones"----more MJ. This is a compilation of his most popular videos. Billie Jean, Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Black or White...all the classics. Good for getting out the hula hoop.
Well, that's about all I can think of. If you're invited to a toddler's birthday party and don't know what to get them for a present, forget the blocks or trucks. Bring "Best of Bowie."

Another survey, because I want to practice importing blogs into Facebook
SIX CIRCLES
CIRCLE ONE: THE OUTSIDE
1. What's your name: Emilene
2. How tall are you: 5'7"---which is, in my opinion, the best height to be. Tall for a girl, but not freaky tall where you have to hear comments like "Wow, you're so tall!" all the time.
3. What color are your eyes: dark brown
4. What color is your hair: same. I like to color coordinate my features
5. Are you Male or Female: Oh god.
6. What is your best feature (physically): My overactive ovaries.
7. What's your shoe size: 10
8. Glasses, yes or no: I wear them most of the time because I'm used to them, but I see fine without them. As I get older, my eyesight gets better. Weird, eh?
9. Did you ever have braces: No
10. On a typical day you are wearing: Sweaty workout clothes
11. When you go to bed you're wearing: It depends on the day.

4. Name one song (give lyrics) that best describes your life right now: I don't particularly feel like answering that.
5. Name one song (give lyrics) that best describes your life one year ago: "All Things Must Pass" George Harrison. I'm not giving the lyrics. That's too much work.

7. What's the last CD you bought: Michael Jackson "Invincible
8. Was the last CD you burned an actual CD or a mix: a mix for Spinning class
9. Name one song/band/singer you're embarrassed to like but do: Britney Spears. Nothing gets me pumped up for good hard cardio than hearing "It's Britney, Bitch."
