Grocery lists. Shopping lists. To do lists. But I didn’t think you’d be interested in those.
So. Here are inane, can-you-believe-this, putting-it-all-out-there, oh-my-god-when-did-I-get-here lists. Of five. Only five. I t Site statistics:Click here
5 reasons staying home with your kids is hard... 2008-08-19 12:43:00 ...but not for the reasons you thought.1. Your new "occupation." I’ve heard moms who are at home full time hate getting the question “So, what do you do?” at dinner parties. To that I say … They let you out for dinner parties? Okay, kidding. For me, the issue is more about what to write on paperwork under “occupation.” I know Roseanne said ‘domestic goddess,’ (makes me think I shou
5 reasons I hate cooking dinner 2008-07-28 19:46:00 1. Deciding what to make. It’s just pure laziness on my part but if someone would just tell me what to make everyday it wouldn’t be half as bad. Trying to find something that’s: healthy, tasty, quick, easy, low-fat, appealing to children, appealing to a man who doesn’t eat fish, can be difficult. Once I tried to make a monthly meal plan with coordinating weekly grocery lists. Then I had ch Read more:cooking
5 challenges of getting out the door with children 2008-07-16 11:55:00 Choosing toys to bring. What is going to keep them occupied while I’m meeting with the financial planner / naked under the gown at the doctor’s office / visiting friends who have no children and whose house is therefore devoid of toddler appropriate items but rife with breakables and cupboards containing poisonous cleaners? Toys! When I ask them what toys they’d like to bring they inevitably
5 reasons I hate shopping with my kids 2008-07-13 12:15:00 Getting there. Do you have kids who are automatically lulled to sleep by the motions of a moving vehicle? Wait, no. Don’t tell me. If the answer’s yes I’ll have to hate you. My son, Max, would sleep peacefully in the truck until he was four months old. That was in 2002. Going anywhere has been a screaming nightmare ever since. We were hoping our second child, Sarah, would be the opposite. We
5 men I find strangely attractive 2008-09-08 14:30:00 1. Ashley from Sin Cities. Do you watch this show? Ashley Hames is the lanky, nerdy, bespectacled Brit host who takes you to cities around the world in search of the most bizarre sexual fetishes. Does this seem like the recipe for a sex symbol to you? Me neither. Especially when you see him in such humiliating and painful looking situations as having his testicles nailed to a board or having huge, Read more:attractive
5 things that “drive” me crazy 2008-09-05 13:39:00 (Caveat: My father always told me sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Well, what can I say? Prepare to get down and dirty…)1. Advanced green imbeciles. What about a green arrow pointing in the direction you wish to go is confusing to some people? I was the second car in line at an advanced green yesterday. The arrow lights up – nothing happens. No movement from the car ahead of me. I do a littl Read more:drive

5 reasons I don’t want summer to end 2008-08-24 13:27:00 1. No packing lunches. It’s been so nice not to deal with the mad scramble to plan a packed lunch in the morning. Yes, sometimes I still have to throw together a picnic, but since I’m a lucky mom whose kids don’t have food allergies, it’s a lot less stress. PB&J? No problem! This granola bar has nuts in it. All the better! I don’t have his name on this. Who cares! But come September
5 reactions to my youngest starting school 2008-09-18 14:05:00 1. Nervousness. You spend her whole life ensuring that she's buckled into her car seat for every car ride. You strap that seat in and out of your car, your spouse’s car, the grandparents’ car, anybody you’re carpooling with’s car. You refuse to let her ride with anyone who doesn’t have one. You lecture your father about the importance of car seats even for “short rides”; this lecture
5 ways I can complete the sentence, “I’m an athiest but…” 2008-11-05 13:35:00 1. I got married in a Catholic church. Hubby told me it was very important to him, even though he hasn’t set foot in a church, except for weddings, funerals and baptisms, since. 2. I love Little House on the Prairie. Come on! Pa, Half Pint, Nellie Olsen. Who doesn’t love it?? I’m so glad they’ve started showing reruns everyday at 5pm on CTS. I even tolerate the nauseating ads to watch it.3 Read more:complete
5 of my favourite kids books 2008-11-20 19:52:00 1. Red is Best by Kathy Stinson. This story is a classic that I’ve just recently discovered (thanks Dawn!). Three year old Kelly must have only the red cup, the red mittens, the red stockings. No other colour will do. As the mother of a three year old, the unwavering kid logic is immediately relatable to me. Little Kelly’s voice comes across loud, clear and with beautiful authenticity. For a m
5 reasons I’m jealous of American politics 2008-11-10 11:02:00 1. American
politicians are like rock stars. Whereas Canadian politicians are like the nerds who got beat up in high school. Come on. You know forty years ago some jock was roughing up Dion for his lunch money. I remember about nine years ago I was flying in to Philadelphia to visit a friend when the plane started circling the airport. The pilot came on and explained that we had to wait to land b Read more:politics
