I Could Have Been a Michael Jackson (The Mouse) Wannabe

15 Aug 2010 by Mom With A Pen

I am in need of Super-Duper-Massive-Strength Tylenol. I just opened the packet from Madison’s Open House and apparently I will need homeschooling this year. Our elementary school’s policy is that parents may visit at any time. I wonder if the 1st Grade teacher will be willing to give me a kid-sized desk and a paper name plate? Magnetic Poles…Sacagawea? Here I come!

Facebook 101

25 Jul 2010 by Mom With A Pen

I am a 30-something Facebook junkie. Next year I’ll be a 40-year-old Facebook junkie. Better than a 40-year-old virgin. You’d think…but that might be an entire other blog post in itself. Just sayin’. The fact is, Mark Zuckerberg was on to something when he one-upped Myspace Tom -you know Myspace Tom, he’s everybody’s friend friend hoarder…

A couple of years ago, like many others, I flew from the “kooky coop” for a bit of friendly banter with “real” people. Don’t throw rotten tomatoes if I once called you my Myspace friend and now you are my IRL friend. Just ask yourself, “How long did that take? Was it really worth it?” Oh, and then don’t delete me.

I’m Not as Stupid as I Look

17 Jun 2010 by Mom With A Pen

There are things you should know when you have a baby, and then there are things you learn; sometimes those lines are blurred. Like way back when, when Madison was about 3 months. She cried every time I put her down and her nights and days were definitely confused. This went on for two more months. I was confused and utterly exhausted. I met an older gentleman who told me I should turn the baby upside down to reset its clock. I was skeptical but he assured me his Mother knew what she was talking about. Let’s just say, Madison loves to do cartwheels but isn’t in a hurry to get anywhere anytime soon. What can I say? You take desperate measures when you don’t know your name, your address and don’t remember what a zip code is. Just sayin’.

Gains & Losses

11 Feb 2010 by Maven Mom

Are you thinking you’ll be reading about my never ending battle of the bulge?  The skirmishes of the Thunder Thighs versus the Ballooning Butt?

Sure, I could rail on and on about the roller coaster ride of weight loss and gain but which of us hasn’t been there before?

Too bad guinea pig isn’t enjoying this…

19 Jan 2010 by Single Mom

“Too bad guinea pig is not alive to enjoy this.”

Yes, our family pet of one week, the guinea pig named, “Guine” or “Duncan” or “Bevo”–depending on the hour or day you may have talked to my daughters–peacefully passed away long before his time on Saturday night. He was a youngster, who witnessed the darkest days of clutter and chaos in my house before the dawn hit Sunday night with a house you could walk through without tripping on something that belonged anywhere but on the floor.
