    YAY!   «:»   Our Saturday-night sitter is a man so I think you can guess where I come down on this issue, but stop by and give your 2 cents.   «:»   I would have done more than spill a little latte — I don’t think I would have been able to contain my giggles.   «:»   Go…

    Excellent — I love how kids see the world as a wide-open space. Oh boy, talk about throwing yourself on a grenade. The funny thing is that I think this kind of reasoning actually makes sense to them!

    Mrs. Flinger is starting a new series devoted to you! Check back to learn how to increase your blog traffic. She’s a giver with infectious enthusiasm, and I love her!

    Have you checked out the League of Maternal Justice yet? Glad I’m not the only one who thinks that BMI numbers are out of whack. Do you have mad Halloween cooking skillz? Check it out. Have some love to spare? Bring it. And here too. More here. Even more. “…having two kids under five is…

    Precisely. Fucking hell, these cats make my day every day. I’ll be honest, the first thing I thought of when I saw this picture wasn’t really “pore cleaner.” And have I mentioned my deep abiding love for Bossy today? Friendship is tough, and I’m a big advocate of whatever works. And I just reviewed a…

  • Am I watching them, or are they watching me?

    I decided to see what all the fuss and excitement is about, and yesterday I joined Weight Watchers online. But please tell me I won’t end up like this woman. Because the online membership isn’t cheap, and if I’m going to just end up looking like I’ve done too much crank, maybe I should just…

    Check out how many people are required to replace the amazing Freddie Mercury. Excellent questions. Go congratulate the hard-working folks over at Maya’s Mom — sweet! Snort! “How fucking long were you watching me? You are worse than Santa.” Oooh, it doesn’t get better than this. I’m going to have to have a chat with…

    Wii, it’s giveaway time over on my other blog! Jessica alerted me to the Environmental Working Group’s current study on bottle-fed babies and Bisphenol A. If you have time before July 31st to fill out a survey you can contribute to their effort. She may be bossy, but she is also some sort of genius…

    Dooce Amalah Izzy Busymom Joy Unexpected Dad Gone Mad Oh, the Joys Queen of Spain The Zero Boss Suburban Turmoil Julia Confessions of a Pioneer Woman Ann Douglas MetroDad … the list could go on and on, but I’m tired of copy-pasting… This is just a tiny sample of a few well-known bloggers who offer…

    Ouch. I’d say he‘s lucky to be alive. Truly brilliant problem-solving. Go lend your support. Interesting to think about. Other than the fact that my brain just cannot understand “grams” this is a great post. Oh, so sweet. Not enough to make me want another, but a wonderful reminder of what it was like.

    Going to Blogher? Check in with Izzy. Check my sidebar to see when I’m going. “The other parents suddenly fixate on their shoes…” Fuck. I don’t have anything else. “Somehow, the handyman convinced me that this was my fault, although he did offer to drill a few holes in the ceiling free of charge, ‘to…

  • Charities that matter to me

    Mama Blogga tagged me for the Charity Meme. The rules are simple, copy the list of charities and links (grab it from whomever tags you) and add your 5 favorite charities or non-profit organizations to the end (link to their sites with anchor text of the causes they champion). Of course finish things off by…

    The CPSC is reminding folks that Spring is a good time to make sure your home play areas and equipment are ready for another season. And check out your local park and school for good measure. Snort! Ick! Show of hands: how many of you would blame the internet and not yourselves if you did…

    AAHHHH! Run and hide! It is Friday the Thirteenth! Here’s a tip: watch Shaun of the Dead. Your day won’t have been worse than theirs, and you will have watched one of my all-time favorite movies. A surprisingly depressing brilliant idea. “Poor Big Son looked stricken. ‘Mom……,’ he mumbled, ‘it’s………….your butt.’” Way to kick ass…

    OK, who has the crown? Please mail it to Jessica — it’s her turn this week. Congratulations! I wonder if the fact that the boy in this story is eleven is what is causing the problem? Maybe the laws cover older kids? Either way, it is a terribly sad situation. A botched massage? How disappointing!…

    Happy Easter “stop lukin i’s layin mah eggz” I don’t know, sounds pretty creative to me! I’m going to Alabama in my mind.

    This puts me in the mind of getting a pedicure for myself as well… Oooohhh, stubborn kids… I can relate. “Will it grow back when he’s older?” That’s a good one. I remember the baby-product lust — and it went away after I’d had kids and therefore had no time for shopping. “Your uterus is…

    Product recalls: Bikes at Target for frame failure, stuffed sports balls for lead content. Go put your arm around Maria. I never know the answers to these questions either! Apparently “coochie” was vetoed. Hmmm. I have officially requisitioned my toilet brush! Here’s a wrinkle: what’s my problem if I like these cars? Ugh, I’m hating…

    Things recalled because they might set you on fire: lamps and washing machines. (What’s next? Shoes? Hats? Socks? Lint?) Tiffany on Vicodin. Awesome! My date with Gapmoms is in August when Mike starts kindergarten. Should be “interesting.” No joke, by coincidence I started this blog during last year’s BlogHer. I live about 20 minutes away…

    Seriously, if you’re tired of me telling you how great Y is, then just unsubscribe now. I love her honesty and humor. (And no, Y, you’re not alone.) OH MAN, I am actually scared by this! Mostly because I’m just waiting for Chip to be able to talk. This is the kind of thing he’s…
