Top 10 Mommy Phrases... 2008-09-09 09:07:19 We all heard our mothers and our friends' mothers and the mothers in the grocery store yell at their kids and say all the typical, cliche phrases growing up, and of course we always thought we would roll over and die before we said them, right? But I think I am not alone when I say that I find myself saying them ALL THE TIME, and to be honest, they really do come in handy!Here are the Top 10 Mommy Read more:Phrases
The Envelope Please... 2008-09-08 12:47:49 Elle and Stacy over at Blue Monkey Butt were the first ones to answer correctly what "spotted dick" is. This was their answer:"Spotted Dick is a steamed pudding with dried fruit, unless you're a Urologist, then Spotted Dick has a whole new meaning. "This is not only correct, but completely hilarious! So for this reason, I am also spotlighting them as one of my two guest bloggers this week!Also gue Read more:Envelope

Well, Bugger Me Backwards With a Barge Pole! 2008-09-08 07:37:40 The title says it all, doesn't it?About what, you may ask? Very good question (I knew I kept you guys around for some reason!) Well, the title is actually one of my favorite British phrases that I learned from my very, very good "mate" who is flying over the pond to see me this week from--you guessed it--England! EEK! I am so excited! We had some very fun (and wild!) times in college and she hasn' Read more:Backwards
An Award from My Mommy! 2008-09-07 16:06:01 I got a very special award from my mommy! (This is where you say "awwwwww!")

LaBump! LaFabulous! 2008-09-06 08:17:05 Well, since I am gearing up to have another baby, I figure I need to start researching some ways to find affordable maternity clothes because God KNOWS--they ain't cheap! I spent so much money on my first pregnancy and everything ended up shrinking or getting all stretched out-grrr. Unfortunately, I am not even the same size as any of my friends so I can't swap and switch with them. So it was pret
Another Awesome Award! 2008-09-05 12:51:35 (Did you notice the alliteration in the title people? Come on, humor me please.)So one of my favorite Mommy Bloggers whom I look up to with respect and utter admiration because her posts are so wonderfully written, thoughtful, poignant, and FUNNY has given little ole ME an award! I can't believe it! And it is a really cool award because it is a sister award!Rachel over at Following in My Shoes bes Read more:Award
I'm a WHAT? 2008-09-04 17:07:01 Well, it seems that my lack of parenting skills has migrated from baby care to appropriate language. As you may have already read, my daughter picked up some "questionable" behaviors that she has been exhibiting while playing with her baby dolls. Well, this beats that--HANDS DOWN.I just went to innocently remove my daughter from her booster seat and she looked at me and said (OK, wait for it, this
Toddler Jam 2008-09-03 19:04:38 First of all, a big patronizing pat on the back for ME! You wanna know why? Because I did Turbo Sculpt and got through the whole sweaty, agonizing 50 minutes WHILE my daughter was awake and in the same room. It was Toddler Jam time in my house, and she lifted 2 pound weights, did squats and got down on the floor with me and did ab work. Intermittently she would sigh, wipe her brow and say "whew,
Definition of the Day: "Cuteaful" 2008-09-03 18:50:39 My son has made up a new word and it is cuteaful (pronounced cute-a-full). The definition of this word is the state of being both extremely cute and beautiful at the same time. He made this word up specifically to describe my daughter when he said "This is my cuteaful little sister."(Honestly, he just came out with this about five minutes ago. He is awesome.)And he is so right! Read more:Definition
Showering--Not Just for Personal Hygiene Anymore! 2008-09-03 18:50:24 As I stood in the shower this morning ( get your minds out of the gutter now!), I was looking around and realizing how dirty the walls of the shower were. It occurred to me that I could kill two birds with one stone by cleaning the shower while I was in there already attempting to cleanse myself. I proceeded to do so, and as I did, another thought popped into my head. "What else can I do in here?" Read more:Hygiene

Something's Missing... 2008-09-03 18:50:05 It's not my car keys...and my cell phone is right here...what is it? Oh yeah--my KIDS!My children stayed over my mother's house last night (bless her little soul) so that I could go to a meeting this morning and work this afternoon. They will also be there overnight tonight (OH MY) so I can work tomorrow, and I will pick them up in the early afternoon tomorrow. This is the longest I have been away Read more:Missing
No Freakin' Way! 2008-09-03 18:49:44 I am sitting here in complete shock. It just amazes me that people even visit this little hole in the world wide web I call a blog, but to think that so many people want to AWARD me just blows my mind and makes me feel more than a little embarrassed. I can't believe it, but today I was awarded again with the Brillante Weblog Award--TWICE.Jenny over at Ring Leader and Amy from Living on Sunshine St

The Definition of Death 2008-09-03 18:49:07 Today was not a good day. The main reason for this is that my beautiful, cherished kitty cat of 19 years, "Bogie,"died last night. My mother called me this morning to give me the sad news. She was crying, and described to me that she found her curled up on a towel in her bedroom as she got out of the shower. She was still and peaceful, and she just knew. She picked up her lifeless body and put her Read more:Definition
Maybe She's Born With It (Or Maybe it's Just a SH**LOAD of Makeup!) 2008-09-03 18:48:53 OK, so I have to admit that I am one of those people that drools over celebrities, desperately desiring the flawless skin, beautiful rock hard bodies and gorgeous hair. I love the Oscars and can't WAIT to see what everyone is wearing on the red carpet every year. My husband knows that every year around Oscar time, I will be impatiently awaiting the pre-awards show so I can pretend I am Ryan Seacre Read more:Makeup

Mother of the Year--Who Me? 2008-09-03 18:48:40 Growing up, I loved playing with dolls. I always knew I wanted to be a mommy and I would dress them, feed them, bathe them, and love them like they were real little babies. So you can imagine that I was just thrilled when my 2-year-old daughter started showing an interest in playing with baby dolls. Finally! After eight years of superheroes, trucks, wrestling, and Pokemon, I had an honest-to-goodn

(at least for six hours of the day!)Ha, that rhymed and I didn't even mean it to...I am a poet and didn't even know it...OK, the first two lines of this post should give away my state of mind at the moment--I am FRAZZLED!

I'm a Lazy Arse 2008-09-03 18:47:51 Well, I am feeling rather uninspired (otherwise known as lazy) today, so I am going to post something that requires very little effort on my part and I hope you will forgive me. Seeing that you guys read my writing (otherwise known as verbal diarrhea transcribed to blog) every day, I figured I would share a little piece of who I am with y'all (that was my best Southern accent for my readers down s
Do Not Try This at Home 2008-09-03 18:47:36 OK, I promised all of you something more substantial to feast your little minds on, so today I am going to share with you my experience of LIVING WITH MY IN-LAWS. Mind you, this story is not for the weak of heart or stomach and if you are prone to anxiety attacks, you might want to navigate away from this page and find something about rainbows and kitty cats. I would also like to say, for liabilit
Oh What a Beautiful Morning! 2008-09-03 18:47:20 Well, not really because my throat is ON FIRE (I guess my germ laden, snotty nosed children passed along their colds to their unsuspecting, UNDESERVING mother). But, besides that, I have been given another award--YIPPEE! And it is from one of my very favorite mom bloggers over at Outnumbered Two to One, which makes it even cooler. She makes me laugh so hard I practically need some Depends just to Read more:Beautiful

The One Where I Change My Mind 2008-09-03 18:46:52 Three's company anyone? No, not the hilarious "original" 70's show that I loved to watch as a kid (even though I was naively unaware of the premise behind it), but the age-old question. Is three good company or a crowd? This is a question that I may be finding the answer to, although I was pretty sure yesterday that I knew that two was the better number. We all know that one is the loneliest numbe Read more:Change
What I Learned on the First Day of School 2008-09-03 18:46:28 1. My 8-year-old looks really cute, but all too grown up, in his new school clothes.2. I forgot what it was like to have complete silence in the house in the middle of the afternoon--and I like it.3. My daughter misses her brother when he is at school and is probably going to ask me "Where's Big Boy?" at least 10 times a day from now until next summer.4. There is even MORE paperwork to fill out in Read more:First

29 Candles--Where's the Fire Extinguisher?! 2008-09-26 08:07:58 Today is my birthday.Twenty-nine years ago today, my mother grunted, groaned and pushed out the little bundle of joy that is ME. For that, I am eternally grateful. Thanks Mama. However, there are some things I am not grateful for today, and those are:1. I am sick. The whole family has been sick and I thought I had escaped it, but no, it was just a cruel joke and the illness decided to take hold ri Read more:Candles
(Almost) Wordless Wednesday 2008-09-24 09:38:15 Here is a sneak peak of my little monkey in her Halloween costume:I made the mistake of letting her try it on...all day she cried and wailed "monkey costuuuuuume." I even put it on top of the computer desk's hutch and she tried to scale the computer desk to get it. See--perfect costume--she is a little MONKEY! Read more:Almost

Six Pieces of Flesh Art Later... 2008-09-23 07:54:13 Well, I am faced with a mothering dilemma that I am quite sure I never would have anticipated having, and that my own mother, I am sure, wishes that I didn't have. This dilemma has to do with the six little pieces of art that I have had seared into my flesh in various areas on my now saggy, stretch-marked mommy body.Yes, I have SIX, count 'em SIX, tattoos.It all started when I was 15, really stupi
