My PDA is Possessed and Schizophrenic

Recently Jessica wrote that her Parenting Magazines were talking to her. The same sort of thing has been happening with my Palm.
Tonight I was using the calculator when the thing freaked out, turned black and asked me if I wanted to erase all data. Hmmm….let me think about that. My entire [...]

What Did he Say?

Surcie has inspired me to talk about what the heck our kids are subjected to on the radio lately. I personally think it’s quite precious that Laylee (Little-C) says “Bob Marley is my favorite mutsic.” I especially like it when she quotes him in casual dinner conversation.
“Mommy, stand up for your rights.”
“Okay, I will.”

I Will Take Your Used Bedroom Set

Yes, that’s right. I am willing to take one for the team and obscond with your exquisite bedroom set. You know, the extra one you ordered from Pottery Barn “just in case” and now have no idea what to do with?

I am ¼ Indian

I have no scientific or genealogical evidence to prove this theory but I do have a strong feeling that my stomach originated in the country of India. When I was pregnant with Laylee, the only food I enjoyed and could consistently keep down was Indian food from my favorite restauraunt.
I would like to stop at [...]

Discussing Disney Death with Two-Year-Olds

Laylee: Where’s Cinderella’s mommy?
Me: She had to go away with Bambi’s mommy.
Laylee: But where’s her daddy?
Laylee: Oooooh, okay.

(strangely enough, Laylee likes the part of Bambi where the mom gets offed. She says, “Oh, now’s when Bambi’s mommy has to go away so he gets to play with his daddy cause he came home from WORK!”)

Mullets, Ghosts, Sumo and….A Shiny Person

Whilst wandering through the isles of Halloween treats this week, I spotted the perfect accessory for my shmoop, a sweet black-haired mullet wig. Yes folks, that’s right and since the wonderful holiday is only days away, it was 30% off. 30% off of what, you may ask. But that doesn’t matter because it was on [...]

I am a Pancake Loser

All modesty shoved under the sofa, I think I’m a pretty great cook. However I don’t usually have the slightest desire to cook first thing in the morning. So, Laylee is addicted to cold cereal, scrambled eggs and toaster waffles.
This morning after my early walk with Sandra, I decided to fully take on my role [...]

To Coin a New Phrase

The other day after I fed Magoo, Dan was trying to burp him. After quite a bit of pounding, Magoo let out a small “Urp” and smiled at Dan as if to say, “I’m done.”
Dan would have none of that.
“Come on Magoo, you can do better than that. That was just a courtesy burp.”
