    Beautiful. And I couldn’t agree more.   «:»   Terrifying words: “resistant to sedatives“…   «:»   Ouch, my mom had that when I was a kid and it is terrible!   «:»   I weep for this development too. Too soon, too soon!   «:»   Yes, he’s trying to tell you more vegetable oil!   «:»   Building great men one at a…

    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.

    HAWT!!! And ALSO HAWT!!! I have it on good authority that preventing this is a dad’s sole job. So sad, so sad… Something interesting is unfolding here. I’m watching. Join me. Yeah, so if you don’t live near me this will mean nothing to you. But you can still laugh :) Her giving spirit is…

    Would you like some assistance vomiting today? Then read this. Totally ditto! Excellent! Oooh, a smooshy newborn. Yay! Let’s all pitch in and get Karly a scanner. I really need to see this. Yay — I love good news. Have I mentioned my new blog in the past five minutes? No? Ok, so head on…

    Um. Wow. I remember this feeling very well. Please hang in there. Very good advice. OH THE HUMANITY. I disagree. I like to get my Jesus on with sweaty speed freaks. Yeah. Bull shit indeed.

    Recall: Lots of Thomas the Tank Engine Trains for lead paint, Nordstrom sandals, Nordstrom children’s jackets, and ASKO dishwashers for fire hazard. This is a post I hope Mike can relate to when he’s an adult. Mrs. F: you rock! Ditto. Also see: white toddler clothes, and white kid clothes. I understand. It is not…

    “Let’s call somebody. Baby brudder’s here.” I dare you to do this monthly. It would crack me up every time! My advice involved teeth-kicking-in… Got anything better? Cross your fingers here for many reasons.

    Recalls: Toothpaste. Go smell Thordora’s latest event. I think that the title says it all. I just love this strict following of the list! A good question. Search party? Whoo hoo!

    Recalls: Fisher Price baby swings for entrapment hazard, toy drums for LEAD. The current recipient of my hatred. “She is ulurgik to dog’s and cat’s.” Go share your colic tips. Argh, I get this too and it makes me insane(er). Oh, made me cry too. I’m tense just having read this. The RSS feed of…

    Recalls: Lead and lead in kid’s jewelry. I am exceedingly tired of reporting this. Also recalled: Marinated Herring from IKEA. (How do I type the sound of a cat coughing up a hairball? Anyone have an old Garfield cartoon and can look that up for me?) I’m afraid I’m gonna need some photographic evidence after…

    Welcome Jennifer’s new baby! I know you’ve been wondering what my favorite Mother’s Day post was. Here you go. (Or maybe it was this one.) Lucky Mommy indeed. And check out the latest book I reviewed. It has amazing things for your kids to learn and do.

    “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…

    First of all, the idea of boarding preschool crossed my mind yesterday, and that pretty much sums up my Sunday afternoon. Go do a tap dance or something for Jennifer. Go see if Archer is feeling any better. “BUT, HER BOOBS! THEY’RE GONE! HOW CAN SHE BE BREASTFEEDING A BABY LIKE THAT?!” Assvice at its…

    Jennifer is out of the hospital and doing well! What a great story of people who were meant to be together. And today’s cry is courtesy of Andria. Amalah’s smackdown this week is unusual and very moving. Check it out. I agree — why would you assume you’d be able to bring a baby to…

    Alert: Jennifer is in the hospital and may need surgery for a kidney stone! Recalls: Snowmobiles, electric heaters. (They waited until the end of April for these??) Paige, I’m sorry to say that you’ve fallen in with some humorless folks. “This water is too hot! It’s burning my footwrists!” Are you web-talented? Looking for work?…

    Whoa, twins then sextuplets. I’m with Antique Mommy on this one. I’d say that loss of desire for blog reading is a pretty good indicator that something is up! Thordora is having a hard time. Stop by and lend an ear. I think that this post is all part of a complex plot to make…

  • Go Read It Today, Monday, April 23, 2007

    Remember last week when I said I was thinking about doing these “Go Read It Today” posts only Monday – Friday? Well, I tried it this weekend and I hated it! They’re going back to a daily schedule AND I’m going to start a new weekly feature on the site as well. I’m thinking I’ll…

    Product recall-apalooza: Dog treats for salmonella, Shrek headbands for stabbing hazard, Life is Good / RedEnvelope kid sweatshirts for drawstring strangulation, Disney footy PJs for burn hazard, and nearly ONE MILLION pieces of kid jewelry for high lead levels. I’LL SAY IT AGAIN: JUST DON’T BUY KID JEWELRY, OK? I don’t know nothin’ about birthin’…

    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!…
