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.
