Motivated Mondays – Being an Over-Achiever HAS to be Over-Rated

19 Jul 2010 by Mom With A Pen

I am a good Mom. No, I am a great Mom…or so I keep telling myself that. I’m not really into “pats on the back” so the words are usually converted into little bites of Godiva, which means that there are a lot of little empty gold bags laying around. They make for elegant decor…or doggie-doo bags. Just don’t mistake the new from the old. Yes, it’s Monday. Just sayin’.

Funny…Makes Funny

17 Jul 2010 by Mom With A Pen

Last week a friend told me I wasn’t very funny when I was pregnant. Personally I challenge anyone to strap on a 30 pound watermelon, try to shave their right leg…oh, and then crack a smile. Look, it’s not about being funny. Looking funny, yes. Being funny, no.

Day 8 – Freudian Clip

24 Feb 2010 by Mom With A Pen

It’s sad when one finds amusement in little jagged-edged colorful clippings. Every week I challenge myself to see how much I can save, and the more I save, the better I feel. Some women shop for shoes, but since my pregnant cankles are here to stay for the next month or so, in my book, a BOGO and a manufacturer’s coupon beats any DSW friends and family sale.

Seriously, why is there a “mental hurrah” behind saving a buck or two? Is there a Freudian theory that can be connected to this new obsession…?

Motivated Mondays – I Wear no Pants

22 Feb 2010 by Mom With A Pen

Yes, today is Monday. It’s another one of those, “Where is my cup of hot joe so I can burn my mouth, days.” And I’m not talking the gardener or the pool guy either. Of course, to have a “Joe” I’d have to have a feasible garden or a pool (other than the blow up kind). Again, sadly I do not. You, on the other hand, might. If so, your Monday may be going better than mine. I’m sending you a virtual clap, that is if you don’t already have the real one from “Joe”. I digress, as this is a family show…

I Am Toast

18 Feb 2010 by Mom With A Pen

Look, there’s no revelation or light bulb that goes off. When you are pregnant, irrational thoughts such as “I don’t know why World War II couldn’t have been solved with a slice of chocolate cake and a pint of Chubby Hubby” constantly bombard what is left of your sanity. For some with a rotund belly, they dream of donuts or funnel cakes… under a blanket of powdered sugar. And yes, sometimes that blanket of powdered sugar also gets put on those fried delights as well. Given the circumstances I am craving toast; I think it started with this…

Day 5 – (My Bread and Butter)

17 Feb 2010 by Mom With A Pen

This week the sales were measly…at best. Sadly, we are out of a lot of things. Poor planning, on my part, has left us sans our usual hearty stash of Juicy Juice and Madison has had to resort to soy milk and water to accompany her meals; honestly, that’s not a bad thing in my book. Last week, of course, Juicy Juice was BOGO at Publix, but I was too caught up in searching for my Dove’s Men’s Body Wash that I forgot the essentials. We’ll be munching on bread crumbs, and begging on the corner with a tin can, but hubby is going to be squeaky clean with an extra sporty scent.

Freak Out…

04 Feb 2010 by Mom With A Pen

Ever wonder why the late-70′s one-hit-wonder band, Chic, kept repeating that chorus over and over…and over again? Sure, they were talking about a crazy herky-jerky dance move, but if you’re a parent and you’ve emotionally freaked…yes, it’s pretty much the same. Minus the bass guitar and backup singers of course.

There’s an Alien in my Belly

31 Jan 2010 by Mom With A Pen

There’s an alien in my belly that wants to come out.
She’s learning human ways and I’m always thinking about
the wave, the hustle… ’cause she’s learning how to “jitter”.
If she had bluetooth and an iPhone, she’d even learn to Twitter.

Sanity. It’s all relative…

08 Jan 2010 by Mom With A Pen

It’s eight days past the New Year. Ok, seven to be precise, but who’s counting? Did you make a New Year’s Resolution for 2010? I think I was going to but got sidetracked along the way. Apparently staying focused should be at the top of that list. The thing is, every year is like a new beginning. The Chinese have “the year of the rat” so I think this year, for me, should be “the year of sanity”. I don’t like rats. Of course, we’ll see. I almost lost my mind today…on the eighth…er, seventh day. Again, who’s counting?

Pukey Poultry vs. Happy Pancakes

06 Jan 2010 by Mom With A Pen

I am disturbed by poultry. You heard me…poultry. Ever since the pregnancy I can’t smell it, much less give it a glance…a pat…a poke… So, what was on sale at the store this week? Er…oven fryers. Oh yay! (Hear my sarcasm?)

Current Mood: Sickly emoticon Sickly
