Mike's birthday party was fun but wiped me out for the rest of the day.
Sunday was Mike’s party — same place, same time, same “food” as the party last November. We had coffee and ice water: Note that the water was in “child safe” bottles. WTF? I’ve never been afraid of water before, but now I have a whole new, unidentified fear. Up until today all I worried about…

Product recalls: Children’s necklaces for lead. Children’s stationery sets for containing a razor blade. “Elite Operations” toysets for lead AND laceration hazard. Give me a break. Food recall: The bread with metal in it recall also includes WinCo. Do you know Tertia at “So Close”? Famous infertile. Wrote a book about infertility. Mother of adorable…

I'm not as good a mumbler as I thought…
…because I just heard Robbie say “god dammit!” (Note to self: must submit this story to Mother of the Year contest, but will most likely just fucking forget to do it.) NOW how am I supposed to let off steam? If you hear a loud bang coming from Northern California it means that my head…

Up until now this had been a pretty forgettable day…
But then Mike brought me this clover leaf from the yard: And then a little later I saw all three boys playing together really nicely. They had made an airplane: I had thought today was kind of a suckfest, but it is definitely looking up now :)

Proof of my dementia: the first photo of myself that I show you is the worst one EVER taken of me.
Yo mama’s a stone cold killer. I’m not really sure why I’m showing you this. A textbook example of what you look like after 2 hours in line at the DMV. Well, I suspect that this is also what I look like after a loooong afternoon of “um, Mommy?” “whhyyyy?” “but I’m Huuungry!” “Mike hitted…

Food recall: Safeway bread for containing pieces of wire. A cautionary tale and some impressive photos! Hell, after this description you’d be insane to want to leave. And I want to fly out there tonight! The first photo is amazing. Joy, fatigue, and fear all in one. A letter writing campaign is in order here.…

I’ve seen the world’s most boring violent movie. You ask "how is that possible, Jane?"
Yes, its true. “300” is incredibly boring. I thought it was going to be a great battle epic with amazing effects and bowl-me-over sounds and music. I was hoping for it to be as great as the first time I saw The Matrix. The movie is about a battle between Sparta and Xerxes’ enormous army.…

Sunday was Mike’s birthday party, and I’m beat. SO, this will be short ;) Leave it to Suzanne to make me laugh when I can hardly even see straight! Maria has some good questions — check it out. Now I want to do a little clog dancing! Yes. Totally yes.

I had a startling revelation in Target the other day. How sad is that?
Our Diaper Genie broke the other day, and not in a repairable way. First I checked my normally-reliable and favorite online stores, but Amazon would ship me a new one in a month (give me a break), and Drugstore.com wanted to overcharge me by $15, so off I went to Target. I saw that they…

Food recall: olives. What a sweet doctor. Best Blog Against Sexism post Ever. Have a hosting company to recommend to Megan? Ack, such a runaround!

No wonder they're so tired at night. Beating the cr@p out of each other all day every day will really wear a guy out.
Daycare & preschool are closed today and yesterday. Yesterday was Mr. Plain’s turn to stay home with the monkeys, and today it’s mine. I have a couple of questions. How do kids who really only eat about 1.2 meals a day have so much energy? With an (allegedly) finite amount of energy, why would they…

I have a plagiarism question for the great legal and ethical minds of our time. And you.
I’m not going to link to her, but please do me a favor and go to babytalkers.blogspot.com and then tell me: is it weird that someone is plagiarizing my diaper ad? Mine Hers At first I was happy that she wasn’t pretending that she also had 3 kids, but then I noticed she’d copied my…

Approximately One Million Product Recalls were issued yesterday: Don’t drink Jermuk water. Cobmex Jackets. Nordstrom flannel pants. Extension cords. H & M Jackets. End times, I say, end times. What a wonderful way to remember someone. BirdieRoark did a good thing. Yay for 1.4mm!! Beep beep.

Teh Internet, I don't understand all of her…
As much as I fancy myself a geek, there are still some things about the blogging world that I don’t understand. 1. What is a blog carnival? I am so clueless here that the first time wrote this as “festival.” I don’t understand what you do to participate, who organizes them… Pretty much everything. 2.…

Why do people think that you should get special service just because you've chosen to procreate?
… I thought I’d continue the “cranky” theme & mood I’ve been in … I keep reading posts from people who get so bent out of shape about others not helping them out when they have their kids with them. My biggest problem with these kinds of complainers? They make the rest of us parents…

I am getting no love from the Chinese officials, and for that I am weeping salty, salty tears.
Sigh, the Chinese government does not love me. Want to check your site? Go to greatfirewallofchina.org (awesome URL) and let me know what it says.

Check this gorgeous copper saucepan.
I’ve been checking this page daily hoping it would go back to $29.99 AND ship in a normal amount of time. It has as of today, plus you get free shipping. The last time it was this cheap the ship-time was 1-2 weeks, and I don’t like doing that. SO, if you’re in the market…

Product recall: Discount School Supply art easel recalled for high levels of lead paint. Need a new game to entertain your toddlers? Domestic Slackstress dishes the straight up truth. Izzy has the Depot of the Home by the short hairs. Someone tell Queen of Spain about these! Chad is a brave man. Also stupid. But…

MAN, I'm tired today. Where's that Calgon guy in the little boat when you need him?
I shuttled Chip to his eye surgeon this morning for another post-surgery check. It took an hour to get there, 25 minutes to park, the doctor was an hour and a quarter late, and I got back JUST in time to pick up Mike and Robbie from preschool at 12:30. Lordy, I am tired. I…

Check out this AMAZING picture. Fan-freaking-tastic. If this blog isn’t a spoof I think my head will explode. If it is a spoof… I adore it. Looking for the O? Sing it, Antique Mommy. This is a fabulous question. Oh fuck, Jay, I’m so sorry. Bon is sad. And remembering. And understands how extreme sadness…
