What Have I Done?????!!!

As a mother, I feel it is my duty to raise my daughters with the knowledge that they are beautiful daughters of God and they should act as such. My husband has lovingly resisted the manly urge to teach his children the art of "pull my finger," "the scratch and adjust," "you should see what I left in the toilet, no really, come see it," and belching the ABC's. I am far from a girly girl, but thought that I could teach my daughters how to behave like ladies.
This last week as Nick was out of town for work, I found that my daughters are as disgusting as they can be.
Katlyn came home laughing at how grossed out the boys at her table were when she farted during the math test. When I asked why she couldn't do her stinky business at another time when not so many were around, she got very serious and said, "My tummy was hurting, and you said never to do anything to hurt myself." Even as I tried to explain that her behavior, while not bad, was not pleasant for those in smelling range she just laughed and went back to doing her homework. I gave up trying to convince her of the benefits of ladylike behavior and I went back to doing dishes.
Kara, who would never fart around anyone if she could help it, is fascinated with poo. how someone could hate gas, but love poo I have no idea. She has taken to leaving the toilet unflushed just so she can share her hobby with everyone else in the house.
Valentina, while young and innocent, almost always has her hand in her diaper. Granted she has eczema on the inside of her leg, just inside the diaper line, but it never looks good to see a little girl walking around with her hand down her pants.
Eva thankfully has no bad habits yet, but I am sure they will come...
What I do wonder is where I went wrong? I have tried to be a good example to my girls, Nick has not taught them anything objectionable, and manners are a must in our home. The only benefit is that when these girls are teenagers these habits may repulse boys and I won't have to worry about them. Though Nick warns me that boys like girls who fart and burp and do all manner of disgusting things. ....there is no way to win.

Welcome to insanity!!!!!

While watching TV, folding laundry, nursing Eva and helping my daughter Kara finish her homework before kindergarten, a story was aired on blogging. I felt inspired to let my voice be heard, so three weeks later here I am starting this blog.
Most of the blogs covered seem to be perfect mothers giving advice and anecdotes about perfectly baking cookies for the bake sale whilst, and at the same time, cleaning their 6000sq.ft. home, creatively scrap booking their entire extended families photos and picking up their honor roll children from private schools without letting those children feel overly privileged or spoiled. Let me tell you i will have no stories like those, in fact if the impossible happened and i was able to afford/buy a 6000 sq. ft. house my advice and anecdotes would be about the maid grumbling over me making huge messes as I tried to make cookies for a bake sale, and managing to burn the pre-made frozen dough stashed for the last 2 years in the back of my not very clean freezer. In fact now that I remember the existence of the dough i should probably find an ice pick(jackhammer) to free it from the layer of frost in the dark nether regions of my freezer.
Back to the topic on hand.... what this blog is supposed to be about. I am going to steal the Seinfeld idea. This blog is about nothing so therefore I can write about everything. If I give advice or recipes or share an amazing experience I hope you take from it truth that no matter how hectic and far from perfect my life may be, it brings me joy and I hope you will get a smile or two as well.
By the way, I am trying to sell my husbands old strength shoes.... any takers?
