infomercials...u know u love em!
i mean, u've gotta admit - they def suck u in...put u in a trance...keeping u glued to the entire lengthy advertisement...convincing u of amazing miracles the product can work! they make u believe u must have what they're selling!
thankfully, we're able 2 resist temptation & squelch the urge 2 impulse shop
but i thank God my kiddos don't have credit cards of their own! cause if they did, we'd have just about every "As Seen On TV" product there is, arriving at our door!

the scene:
i'm in the hallway, standing on 1 of our dining room chairs, trying to water a plant that sits high up on top of an armoire...apparently, it's been a while since this plant has had a drink - cause as i slowly pour the water down into the pot, it just as quickly starts pouring out the bottom - overflowing from the drainage portion at the bottom of the pot! it starts dripping down the armoire & all over the floor...Gabrielle is standing there, watching the entire event
"mommy, u need some Aqua Globes!" she exclaims
"i need what?!" i reply
"Aqua Globes! no more watering, no more spills!"
& guess what? i figured out what she was talking about...& i remembered seeing my friend have some in her plants & how pretty they looked...i got online* & sure enuff ordered me a set! that was over a year ago & i still use em all the time!
no more watering, no more spills!
~lol~

the scene:
i'm getting something out of the fridge & notice a package of mushrooms that went forgotten & are now molded
"ah man, that stinks!" i say, as i toss em into the garbage
i figure while i'm at it, i might as well inspect the fridge to see what else may have gone bad...all i find is about 1/4 bag of baby carrots that have dried up & no longer look appealing, so i toss them out too
Corinn notices what i'm up to & comments, "i guess we need some Green Bags"
unlike the Aqua Globes, i haven't purchased Green Bags yet...but i admit, i've strongly considered it ;0)

the scene:
i'm in the kitchen & Jaden comes up to me with his toothbrush in hand
"Ma, the girls are out of toothpaste again." he says
see, the girls use a different toothpaste than he does...i get them the Crest Kids brand, while Jaden uses regular old Crest or Colgate ("grown up toothpaste" is what it's called in our house)...i'm thinking it may be time to have the girls start using the same as Jaden tho, cause they fly thru their tube! they may like the taste a little too much ;0)
anyway, i respond to him by saying "again?! well, they can just use yours until i can get them some more"
he then says "no Ma, we need to get them the Touch N Brush!"
now, the Touch N Brush was an infomercial i'd never seen...so i had 2 get online & check it out...very interesting! but i doubt it'll b a purchase i'll b making any time soon ;0)

My kids love infomerrcials and can recite them also! It's annoying!
That is just tooo cute!! I remember Caleb saying he couldn't wait to be "18 or older." I didn't know what he was talking about then he said cause he wanted to buy the bottle tops?? that look like a sports drink? He is obsessed with any drink water bottles and wants to save them FOREVER! Let me know if you try the green bags and how they work!! ha!
Bwahahaha! Ben was telling me that I needed to get Aqua Globes for my orchids. But you can't use them with orchids.
Too funny. I love infomercials. Seriously, those things rule.
