Hi! I'm Nika...

So I owe you the final installment of Courtroom Confessions, but I put too much pressure on myself. It is very long. It is not very funny. And it is not even CLOSE to being finished. Hopefully I will fix most of those problems by the end of the week. Tomorrow I get to go on a class trip with my youngest--I know the thought of riding a bus with thirty preschoolers doesn't sound like much fun to most of you, but I cannot wait. Really. I'm not even being sarcastic here, though I feel like I should be laughing, because what mother in her right mind would WANT to do this? Oh right--me.

So since I am making no attempt to finish or to fix the Courtroom Confession post and since I am going to spend my entire day with my sweet Addie tomorrow, let me tell you another Addieism. On Sunday the kids were swimming (FINALLY) for most of the day.  I love listening to their wisdom as they splash and jump around all day. Sunday was no different.

Addie: "I yove to swim and I want to yearn all of the ways to swim so that I won't deyrown and die. I don't EVER want to die because I want to be able to swim and plus, I want to go to America."

Dave: "Ad--you are already IN America--we LIVE in America..."

Addie:  "HOOOORRRRAAAAYYYYY! I made it to America!"

You would have thought she climbed the fence that morning,

I'm not sure if that is a location joke (in that you had to be there) or if it is just because my baby said it, but I found it to be HILARIOUS.


On a different note, my friend Emma @ Your Doctor's Wife wrote about Blog Star today and inspired me to link up (though she was number five and I am pretty sure that I am going to be number five HUNDRED) my post. Because I was out of material today and my "funny" is a bit delayed,  I thought I would just suggest some of my older posts that people seemed to find funny. SOOOOOO...

Hi! I am Nika. I'm  not as smart as Emma--I used my real name (Like I could REALLY make up Nika...), but luckily nothing too important happens in my world. Don't get me wrong--my children and my husband are very important, but they know my name.  I started blogging in October and have met so many funny and talented people since then--I feel like I know them all personally--fake names and all!

If you are just joining me (which I am not too confident that people are going to check out number five HUNDRED on the hop, but a girl can dream), welcome and I hope you are even slightly entertained by my ramblings. If you aren't, try again--something is bound to be funny eventually, right? Some posts that people seem to like are the Toaster Oven and the Toothbrush in the eye posts and this morning I had another encounter with Crazy- Russian-Mobster-Dude. Six Degrees of Me will give you an idea of the crazy that is me and Well played, Zuckerman/berg gives a sample of my feelings about facebook (as does my post about the facebook timeline and the post about the three hours I wasted on facebook and making ecards, though Staying Connected and TwiPin This discuss the love I REALLY feel for facebook).

I hope you are entertained by at least ONE of those suggestions or at the very least that you got a giggle out of Addison's American pride.  Hopefully I will complete my Courtroom Confessions Conclusion (you see what I did there?) before I have another confession to make! If not, Addie and I may have to go back to live in our home country. The U.S.A.

    1. I know--and I always leave comments for people using my real name so they don't know that JATM and Nika are the same person. Thanks for giving me the chance to clear that up--I think people get sick of me posting my link with every comment! I COULD try to figure out how to post as myself, but I am lucky to get out of bed in the morning! Anyway, it is nice to "meet" you and I look forward to reading more of your posts!

  3. Hahahaha! I'm loving you and I don't even know you. By the way, I found you in a comment you wrote over at Life on M Avenue. I thought you were quite comical so I stopped by to make sure that it was a daily occurence and not just a freak one time accident. Oh, and my kids and I live in America too, although my daughter would have to disagree with me and says that we live in Texas.

    1. That whole Texas thing made me spit out my water onto my computer screen! Tell your daughter to stop being so funny--the old ladies can't take it! I am so glad that you found me, read what I wrote, and decided to stay anyway...some may say you're crazy, but I choose to believe otherwise! And I absolutely LOVE your blog! I may need some tips...

    1. I hope the "cracking up" thing continues. Unless you do not like "cracking up." Then, I hope it stops. Thanks for swimming over (you see what I did there? I love when I crack MYSELF up...!)--I hope you'll stay!

  5. Hey girl. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Unfortunately you stopped by the one we no longer update. Was about to delete that one but then found that I can have it made into a book. So I'm waiting on that. Anywho, would love for you to stop by my more recent blog, Louvier's Place.

    1. That's funny because I was driving today and thought about the fact that I only checked out one of your blogs and made a mental note to check out the second. The problem is that my "mental notes" tend to leave as quickly as they come, so thank you for the reminder!

  6. Hey Nika,
    Anytime you want to join us for dessert at Rao's I would love to have you. So speaking of my daughters being funny. My youngest just called my oldest a poopoo head, and I glared at my youngest for having a "potty mouth". My oldest just said, "She has a point momma." HAHAHAHAHA! Ok then. Not quite sure what the point is.
    You asked if we are Canadian. Well, if you consider Cajun as being Canadian, then yes. Cajuns came down from Acadian in Canada hundreds of years ago. I'm actually more like Heinz 57. I'm a mixture of all kinds of backgrounds...Cajun, Italian (I had a great great great Uncle come from Italy on a ship while hiding in a barrel because he shot someone's donkey...hahahaha), German, and English. Could be other stuff mixed in there that I'm not aware of of. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
