Art and Politics. I know what I like.
I swear I will try to keep this from becoming “The Looky-Looky What Mikey-Mikey Made in Kindergarten Blog” but I just love this painting of Martin Luther King Jr. that he brought home yesterday. Proud Mama is my name. (BTW, the white blip at the bottom is where Mike wrote his non-blog-name. Y’all know I…

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!

“Mainstreamed” – snort! CityMama is right — this is so funny I almost swallowed my tongue. “Let’s pop a cap in hatred’s ass”? That’s a good one, Kevin. In fact, growing up being dragged to as many poetry readings as I did in the 70s I’m pretty sure I caught this act.

This week I have: Signed Mike up for T-Ball Registered Robbie for Kindergarten Signed Mike & Robbie up for 10 weeks of YMCA summer camp (Thanks to nicole/wksocmom‘s comment!) To prove that I am permitted by law to do all of these activities, I have multiply photocopied my driver’s license, unearthed our property tax bill,…

Whoo hoo! “gone” — and we can all exhale. I’m still laughing about this. Bonus: correct usage of the phrase “grinding rectal ache.” Erin. You rock that press pass. You’re a force. I love any recipe that begins with a whole jar of honey. Agreed. There is something wrong with the idea of plumping your…

How cool — I hope she gets picked to be dead too. I’ve never known a professional corpse before! Maybe next time she’ll tell us how she really feels :) Every mom’s nightmare — has a good ending. Made me laugh out loud, and for real, not that stupid acronym. Go lipgloss, go lipgloss, it’s…

Who do these a-holes think they are?
Many of you know that my 3-year-old Chip was born with a cataract in his right eye, and we had the cataract removed about a year ago. Apparently, most people have a complication where their vision clouds over at some point after the surgery, and there is a simple laser procedure they can do to…

OMG, my heart just exploded from the cuteness. A lesson best learned early on in the relationship. No way, The Rap Sheet rocks!! Wow, I’m impressed. I’ve always thought that sugar-free was for food, not people.

Shannon, I’m just glad you’re talking to us again. It is good to hear your voice. Blurgh, what a drag. Another way that kids can make you cry. What a sweetheart. Courage!

Ack, I almost Big Birded reading this. To quote Homer Simpson, I’d have to say a little from column A, and a little from column B. The last sentence is the kicker, and oh so true.

Whoo hoo — Congratulations!! Oh man, sounds like my house. There’s no way I could answer any of these either. A great cause.

Of course, now I smell like a drunk hippie
I love this shower gel. The name makes me laugh, it is smooth and gentle and the surprisingly delicious aroma really wakes me up in the morning. Of course, the combination of coffee, chocolate, lime and hemp isn’t for everyone. It might leave you remembering college weekends. Which might not be the way you like…

Oh good lord, I just laughed so hard I think I did too. Snort. Thank you Edith, for sharing something with me that made me completely unable to stop laughing: a crocheted beanis. (NSFW unless you work in an office like mine, in which case I’ll wait while you forward that URL around to your…

A brief housekeeping note plus some frippery
Thanks to some “brilliant” work by some folks who will not be named, if you tried to email me over the past few days I probably didn’t get your message. It was also really awesome that this site was down for almost 36 hours. Let’s see, anything else? Oh yeah, some paying customers of mine…

Wow, that’s messed up. It’s amazing to me that there are still people like this in the world. Never heard of “Steak and Shake” but it sounds like a real klassy joint. Congratulations! Devious, yes, but my kind of parenting. Snort — Snort — Guffaw! Oh man, freaking ditto.

Fun with the alphabet and crayolas
You all know how much I love Mondays — that’s when the previous week’s work comes home from Kindergarten. So let me share some of my recent favorites from Mike’s stash. 9 Wheels in a Wheel-Holder Six Cakes 10 Shooting Stars What? You’ve never seen a Wheel Holder before? Sheesh, you just don’t get out…

Don’t you just love this kind of ca-razy? OK, maybe bad, but also hilarious. Snort. I’m just happy that this wasn’t written from prison!

Alternatively, you could just come over to my kitchen where I get to do this for free. (Maybe I should start charging admission?) Sweet! Stop by these new digs and check out the new mission. pwnd.

WTF? NEVER has a post screamed out for a photo more than this one. Hey, at least it was strangers. I mean it could have been worse. (Not much, but a little.) Excellent news! I’m happy Archer had a great day. That can be a tricky transition. (And by the way, I’m giving away a…

It seems only appropriate to start a Monday off with bad tidings, so here we go. Friends are having hard times, go see what you can do. If you then need some kind of relief, here’s a sweet one :) And after the above tornado of emotions, I promise the rest of this post will…
