We’re no strangers to the comic book store. Not a great picture, but it shows my daughter’s undying love for Superman, however creepy he is.
I was kind of quiet yesterday for good reason. We were trying to squeeze in Free Comic Day, a haircut, the retrieval of my husband’s car, and my birthday celebration into one day. Evil Genius was wonderful-he said it was my day. This meant I got to do pretty much whatever I wanted, within time and budgetary constraints of course. So after I did a little solo shopping at the mall while they were at the comic book store, we met up and drove back home to get the haircut taken care of and headed BACK to the big city to get in line to see Iron Man 3. This was to be followed by a light supper afterwards. I was pretty psyched to get out because I didn’t think I could stand another day of sitting home and doing very little, and I am dying to see that particular movie.
We got three blocks from the movie theater…and heard the unmistakable sound of a child throwing up in the back seat. Not like you want to know this, but the Professor has issues with spontaneous vomiting. We never really know if he is sick or had one of his random episodes. Being the great parents that we are (don’t laugh) we turned the car around and went home.
Sorry Mr Stark, I’m going to have to wait another week or two or twelve to experience your awesomeness. After I cleaned the backseat thoroughly, Evil Genius cooked me a delicious dinner, we watched Rise of the Guardians with the kids, and then later on watched Anchorman again-because I needed some serious comic relief. I love lamp.
Tony Stark reads my letter of apology…
And Evil Genius’s car is still at work. Guess who’s taking him to work tomorrow? I’m not complaining, since it’s Princess Gimme’s birthday I’m sure she’ll be up at the crack of dawn anyway.
I did a weekly wrap-up yesterday quite late, if you missed it and want to read it click here.
On to other things, today I am participating in a series about WAHMs over at Mommy Writings: Daughter of Maat. Today is Part 1 of how I got into blogging and writing. I realize that I can’t really consider myself a WAHM (Work At Home Mom) since I don’t really get paid for what I do (yet.) For the time being I’m considering myself a BAHM (Blog At Home Mom). The link to the post is here.
Back home at the ranch, I’ve got a birthday cake to make for The Princess and birthday shopping to attend to today, but I’m feeling a bit *urpy* myself. I really hope he didn’t share his germs with me! Don’t worry, I’ll try not to breathe on you…
Wonder where we go for our geek fix? In Central Iowa we have the coolest comic book store ever-it’s called Mayhem Comics and is located in both Des Moines and Ames. I’m saving the rest of my information for a future post on our hopeless geekdom, but I really wanted to give a quick shout-out to this place because it is AWESOME!
The Sadder But Wiser Girl 
Found you from Let’s Get Social Sunday! Wow, realized I must be a noob bahm- Thanks for the chuckle!
I almost posted a picture of Bam Bam. Goes with BAHM, right?
I love it Bam Bam!!!
A intermittent yacker huh? That sort of sucks.
He’s famous for it. This is the kid who threw up at a restaurant and then kept eating. He has a weird gag reflex, but every time we assume he’s fine he actually has the flu.
Awww…so sorry about your day–I was hoping it would be super special…but it sounds like you did a pretty good job of salvaging it as best as possible…..
He did well spoiling me. I enjoyed that part. I am still determined to see the movie though!
Bummer about the movie, and the sick kiddo. Maybe you can go for Mother’s Day?
We’ll see! Maybe we can do a double feature if we wait until the Star Trek movie comes out. It could be idea geek date night!
Children are masters of the stealth vomit – my 2yo can be sitting peacefully in your lap, turn her head, and let it fly with no warning.
Stealth vomit, I LOVE IT!
You know I don’t speak Spanish!
Happy birthday again! Maybe you’ll get your day for Mother’s Day?!
That’s what I was thinking. Double feature with Star Trek Into Darkness. A dream come true!
BAHM…I love it.
I think of the Flintstones.
BAHM – nice!! You should get paid for coining that!! Sorry to hear about the impromptu vomiting – not good. But at least the day wasn’t a total bummer. Hope the Princess has a great birthday and that your Mother’s Day is awesome!
I am pretty proud of the phrases and things that I have coined in my blogging career! Thank you for the good wishes!
If you ask me, I would say that you are a KAFAHSAHBM (Kick Ass Funny As Hell Stay At Home Blogging Mommy)…but that’s just me.
Let me get the pronunciation right here-a Kah-fah-sah-bum. Yeah!
Sorry about the movie and hope you feel better now, too!!
Thank you! Maybe by tomorrow. I HAVE to feel better tomorrow for The Princess’s birthday!
You’re awesome, and I can’t believe you missed Iron Man!!!! But now I don’t have to be jealous that I didn’t get a movie on my birthday either. Just did my birthday post. No vomit, yes fire. You are the most awesomest BAHM there is. Heading there now 🙂
BTW totally got your George Michael reference, not many people have heard Wham UK, it’s one of my faves!
I haven’t watched Iron Man 3 either… yet!
So I’m not the only one! We may try again this weekend to see it, since it is Mother’s Day after all!
You have a nice blog here… tell us if you liked the movie after you watch it 🙂
We’re talking about doing a double feature next weekend. My parents are taking the kids and I hope to get to see both Iron Man 3 AND Star Trek Into Darkness. It may very well be the ultimate geek night!
