How often do you bathe your children?

I recently read a post on a "board" where a question was asked about how often do you bathe your children. I was stunned by some answers. I will warn you, if you don't think you are going to like what I am going to have to say, stop reading now. EYE MUFFS!

I tend to bathe my three hooligans every night. These are the ONLY circumstances where they wouldn't get a bath every night: We've been gone to a friends house for dinner and we get home past 10:00 PM (extremely rare), they had a bath the night before and they did absolutely nothing (insert bad mother comments here) and I am too lazy to give them one. If those events did not occur, their little biscuits are getting a "warsh" (that's how my hubby's grandmother says it, too cute).

I was STUNNED to read that some people only bathe their kids once a week. Really, do they only wash their ass only once a week too? Then I read where some have to have a calendar to "remind" them to bathe their kids. OMFG! How do you "forget" to bathe your child? Do they forget to feed them too?

It's called parenting people. Take care of your children. Love them, nurture them, make sure they are CLEAN. Smelly kids stink and they'll be made fun of for years, plus a bath will make them feel so much better and rest more peacefully.

Leave a nasty comment and I'll sic my 2 year old on you...he bites!

Dearly departed....

Well, we are no longer residents of Leavenworth,  KS.   After being on the road for a mere 15 minutes,  Tobbie states "this is taking too long, I'm ready to be in Georgia,  this is going to be very long ride ". Sweet baby Jesus help me!  And we've been on the road only 3 1/2 hours .....12 1/2 more to go......

I want to punch someone..........

OMG! I haven't had this much time on my hands in.... I don't know how long. So, I have spent majority of my day effing around on the computer while I sit on my fat ass and watch the slooooowest truck loaders on earth pack all our household goods (and my neighbor has had the kids for majority of the day.). These loaders have been here for almost 9 hours and still have a shit ton more to do. Ugh...I want to punch someone.

Moving again & I'm a slacker of all kinds

I noticed it has been six looooong months since I blogged. I've been so busy busy busy!
Our year long tour here in Leavenworth, Kansas will come to an end in less than two days. It's been such a nice place to live, minus the blizzard, negative temperatures and tornadoes and the freaking wind! I think I will mostly miss riding by the prison several times a week and explaining to my child that is where bad children go when they don't mind their mommy's! Nah, I'm just kidding, a little.
Leavenworth has been an adjustment year for our family too. We started this year off with Michael returning from a year long deployment to Iraq. We were able to officially begin our life as a family of five (Darcy was born while he was away) and it's the first time in our relationship that Michael and I have ever spent a solid year together without him deploying or going on TDY somewhere.

I'm going to miss this place and all the wonderful friends we have made, but I'm ready to get on with it and go to the beach, visit friends and family in Georgia and make the cross country journey with three kids in tow to the Pacific Northwest!
