I am saddened to report that yes, today is in fact Monday. Sigh. PMS looks good on you ;) Ha Ha, Karly is drunk! OMG, a 4 column blog layout. At this rate of development, I’ll be able to have a 9 column blog in a year, and never post content ever again! Just reading…

Another date night, another evening where I felt like an adult.
Last night we saw Reno 911: Miami. Hilarious! Granted, I had absolutely no expectations for it, but it was great. It had the predictable slow moments, but how can you dislike a movie that gives you such quotes as “Who brings a weed-whacker on a boat?” and “I like the hair. It’s so Stamos!” Plus,…

Sarah’s got potty training questions. What a sweet smooch photo. Jean Luc Picard appears to be trying to corner the market on mom blogs. He owns some Plain Jane Mom too. And no, I don’t get this either. Weight Watchers appears to be harrassing Mona. “SCROTUM!” And look, I’ve got kudos, nothing but kudos for…

Product Recalls: The hell? More kid jewelry recalled for high lead levels. Let’s all say it together: Friends don’t let friends buy costume jewelry for kids. Oh, and here’s some lysteria in green beans and salmonella in canteloupes. (Is this the end times?) “Normal range” is an amazing thing to hear. Read this description of…

Madonna, adoption, and my take on the "controversy" — let's just talk about it. All of it.
“Apparently Madonna wants to adopt another child from Africa, and here’s why I don’t care.” Check my latest post at the Silicon Valley Moms Blog.

Go send Mama some love! Do it now! I haven’t checked my PO box in a while, but my email tells me that I too have some mystery flavor liquid in there waiting for me. No stuffed virus, though. What a rip! Another blogger soured on Blogger. I recommend WordPress.com — it is free just…

Not one, but two babies. I loves me some baby pictures… Congratulations guys, and I hope you all get out of the hospital soon! Stacy, I’m sorry you had a freaky experience. I hope your logs were just plain wrong. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Do. Not. Piss. Off. Edgy Mama.

Go dumpster diving in the Golden State and you might end up the next Steve Jobs.
Does this happen everywhere, or just in California? And for the record, the computer was gone pretty quickly, but the monitor was there for days…

I’ve wondered about clipgator myself. I don’t think much of them so far, and you can see my comments on this post for more… Um yeah, cram it. To me Second Life is just another part of Teh Internet that I don’t understand, but QoS is all over it. As for me (Jane Jackalope), I…

Because I have a pea-sized brain and need to see information to understand it. Well, and because I'm a huge dork.
I’m going to come clean. For the longest time I was not able to figure out when Mike would go to kindergarten. I just couldn’t do the math, so instead I drew a picture. (Click to see the full horror.) Using Excel. Yeah, I know. Sad. BUT! Now I at least know when the kidlets…

How we decided to send our kids to daycare, and how we accidentally chose the perfect center for our family.
The first time I gave serious thought to what we were going to do with our child while we were at work was after we had finally finished all our adoption paperwork. There wasn’t a lot to do at that point but wait around, so I found other projects to keep me occupied. We first…

Interesting spin on Britney. A good guilty pleasure post. Yes, “reporting” has hit a new low. As an adoptive mom I do appreciate your point — and it has me thinking. But come on Beth, fess up… who is it? Rob did a nice thing. Go check it out! Someone’s going to be calling Anthony…

She deserves the easiest and most magical birth ever, so let’s all think really, really good thoughts for her. I’m veering away slightly from…

I'm OUT, Baby, and I'm LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT! Also known as: how can I miss you if I can't go away?
Last night Mr. Plain and I went on a date for the first time since my birthday in September. It was glorious! We went to one of our favorite local restaurants, and then off to a movie. We saw “Factory Girl” which I loved. It was about Edie Sedgwick and the Andy Warhol crowd. My…

Sage advice from Momsquawk on praising your kids. The first Vlog post in GRIT. I love it! Bald Brit — that’s just sad. (And as for her mom? I suspect she’s crying all the way to the bank.) It is hard to post about how hard newborns are if you’ve also struggled mightily just to…

Oh, if I had been lucky enough to have had a Steve in my life at age eight, I might not have recovered. HOT! Dismissed by Archer! “A hot mom is confident, sort of.” Rock Star Mommy has a great narrative to go with her tattoos. And the next time someone titles a post “The…

Now we've done it. We've chosen a dog breed. Maybe I'll be housebreaking a puppy AND potty-training Chip at the same time!
But it’s OK, because look at this face. So smooshable. Our Labradoodle puppy will be born in the middle of March and can come home 8 weeks later. I can’t wait!

Kristen talks about what the rest of us only live through in silent horror. I think she’s fucking amazing. Maybe not so conventional, but I’d bet that Mr. Cheeks’ coat is shiny and healthy! First off let me be clear: I am not a knitter. But dude, check these crazy slippers! You knit them huge,…

Hey there, hi there, ho there, you're as welcome as can be!
Hi all you nice folks coming over from Mom’s Daily Dose (thanks Amy ;). Do you find yourself wondering who this weirdo is with over 400 blogs in her reading list? Yeah, well so do I sometimes, but I soldier on anyway. I’m a mom of 3 boys under 5. The 2 year old has…
