“Dear Lord. That’s how old we are. There it is. Right in our faces. Say Anything and Ghostbusters. Terrific. Way to blend in.” Snort! “So, off I fled in the car determined to get my sweet, sweet dairy fix despite Jay’s sudden shift in mood.” I think Luna needs to meet Lucy! Fist-pumpingly awesome!! Well…

Looking for a job? Do you have “the ability to laugh, and take a compliment as well as an order”? Do you like cookies? “Mama, why you call dat man a juicebox?” I so hope this works out! I’m still giggling about “Captain Nutsack.” Another reason to feel sad and dirty when I think of…

So about those glasses… maybe I should have a contest?
Remember the other day I posted about the super-exiting hours I spent getting my eyes dilated, getting new lenses for my glasses, and learning the male-only meaning of the word “massive“? Well, my mom saw it and said to me later “Hey, I’ve been looking for an awesome present for your second 39th birthday this…

All I can say is read this post. I don’t have words to describe her bravery. Great link to pediatric medication dosages She definitely makes it look tempting, and it is cheap, but I still don’t think I could work it into my life. A new treatment for Parkinson’s has been approved. “this not works…

Well look at that… Word to the wise: I tuck.

Are all PBS supporters whackados?
Because the 2 oddest comments I’ve gotten are on the post where I complained about PBS. Coincidence?

“But when it comes to my own speech and behavior, I turn into a freakshow of panic and despair.” Hilarious video in honor of Nurses Week! “Wow. I’m going to have a baby tomorrow.” Good luck! “And he said he would be looking for cysts or polyps or tumors – TUMORS! – that might be…

This morning I allowed a total stranger to smash my boobs in a specially-crafted boob-smashing device.
And tomorrow I’m taking Mike to the Open House at the public Kindergarten he’s been wait-listed for. (His name was 7th of 14 to be chosen for “overflow.” Fuckers.) And I have no idea how to explain any of this to him. “Um, honey, we’re going to go visit a kindergarten. Not your kindergarten, per…

They're all there to protect and serve, but…
Comforting: seeing the fire truck that is always parked in front of our local grocery store. Disquieting: seeing the police car haphazardly ‘parked’ in front of Target and having to squeeze past an arrest in progress on the way to search for elusive size 6 Power Ranger underwear. And no, it is not just because…

TV shows that have done me wrong
I hate it when I find a new TV show I like and commit to watching it, only to discover that after about 5 episodes in they switch to the B-team writers. The characters I once found so funny / charming / clever are now insipid and stripped of all originality, and I have to…

Giving "thinking" a new meaning since 1967
White Trash Mom and Tacky Princess have honored me with a Thinking Blogger’s Award. However, as someone who still cannot figure out the proper use of a comma, I have to respectfully disagree :) But thank you ladies for the award, and I send you trashy blow-kisses across the ether! Feel free to check out…

Recall: Risotto from Target. “I’m not always a good parent. Likewise, I’m not always a bad parent. I hope I am a good enough parent.” AMEN! “I told my realtor that the realtor who brought them here is never to step foot on my property again.” Because what Mir needs is more stress right now.…

Stick It In Your Queue: Before Sunrise
[ratings] Are you looking for a romantic movie but aren’t in the mood for standard chick flick crap? Are you starting to believe that all romantic movies have Hugh Grant and fluff story lines?

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Recalls: More freaking kid jewelry. SNORT!! So funny I almost had a stroke while reading it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. (Uh oh, did I build it up too much?) For the record, if this happens to me I am quitting. OMG it’s another snort — can I get my…

I've got a little secret to share with you thanks to Rebecca
Yes, it’s true, I’m a good mother. I don’t helicopter over them. I let them get dirty. I try not to stress over the little things. I let them pick their own clothes for all but the most formal of events. And yes, this means that frequently Chip goes to school in an old army…
