I "love" this "blog."

Happy Mothers Day to all the supa-fab Mommies out there. I love you and feel your pain. Hee, hee...

To all the moms, and future moms out there...Happy Mother's Day!

My father in laws heart surgery went well.  He’s expected to come home on Monday!  It’s amazing you can get your chest cut open,

May 4th - May 10th

I got lucky this weekend at our community yard sale.  I got hold of a “vintage” 1982 Oster Kitchen Center in brand new condition with the salad slicer, meat grinder, blender, both bowls and mixer/dough arms for $5.  I’ve never had a

You might as well buy yourself a little somethin’ to celebrate Mother’s Day. I try to be selective about products I review (and hope to move the majority of these type posts to my forthcoming blog, Savvy Housewife) and I love to feature businesses run by women.

In celebration of all things baby this week, I posted a giveaway at Blissfully Domestic for this beautiful kusakizome kimono from Tomo&Edie. Madder root has been used for centuries to achieve deep reds and oranges.

This afternoon is the Moment of Truth for my poor Macbook and for some reason, I don't have a very good feeling about it. I think it's going to take a little extra mojo to make the thing work. Details to come.

Re: Watch Service Request System

Due to the excessive volume of requests to "watch":

a. "me"
b. "this"

It is necessary that we implement a Watch Service Request System (WSRS) in order to serve you better.

Hey supa-fab feedreaders, Please click over to see the video in the post. You won't be disappointed. Really, I promise.

You know my little monkeys are young -9,7,4,1. I made this Mother's Day card myself. It is hilarious. I just had to show you...

I remember when I first started getting armpit hair.

I was mortified.

My mom?  Was excited. 

Whoa, you guys are busy little Googlers.

The kid in the Meatloaf Go-Phone commercial isn't his son, he's an actor named Adam Cagley.

From the "Why Does She Know This?" Department, Meatloaf has two daughters, one of whom is musician, Pearl Aday.

Miss C is very disappointed to be missing a classmate’s birthday party Sunday at one of those bouncy emporium chains.

When my daughter was 2, she fell on the playground and knocked out her front baby tooth. When the permanent tooth grew in, in first grade, she fell on the playground at school and knocked IT out. So she has had issues with her teeth for almost her whole life. The first prosthetic tooth she had was awful.

Writer’s block - it sucks.

My sister Allison is going to be featured on TBS's Movie and a Makeover on Saturday May, 31 at 9:45 am Eastern, 6:45 Pacific.

Hello! I will be scarce until Sunday.

It's all good.

In the meantime here is Shark Boy's favorite joke:

What did the duck find in his soup?

QUACKERS!

Last night at bedtime Miss A was clutching a costume jewelry pearl necklace and of course refused to hand it over. Being a mother of weak fortitude and one that would probably let her kids sleep with a pet monkey if it meant they would sleep soundly all night, I shrugged it off and told her I’d be right back.

Hi, I'm a [airquotes] Mommy Blogger[/airquotes].

My father in law is at Centennial Medical Center getting a quad bypass surgery right now.  Please send a few positive thoughts his way.  Thanks!

Well, hello.

I have some crappy news with which only you, my dear Internet readers, will truly empathize.

Yesterday, the unthinkable happened. I was innocently typing away on my Macbook when Bruiser reached up and knocked my water over ONTO THE [bleep]ING KEYBOARD.

I’m glad I didn’t then. 

And, not that I would ever call someone else’s cute little girl of, oh, about 7 or so a immensely annoying little brat, BUT…

The Immensely Annoying Little Brat who lives across and 2 houses up the street from us was literally BEGGING me to come over and apply duct tape to her sweet, adorable little mouth on Thursday evening.

I found these on one of my plants, I’ve never seen them before.  Beautiful!

In one of those Moments of Mommy Guilt That I Will Revisit in My Mind for Years to Come™, I inexplicably opted to watch an episode of Twin Peaks last night without bringing the baby monitor to the TV room. It was only 45 minutes long, I reasoned, the kids had just gone to bed, and they almost never woke that early in the night.
