I will not be winning any mothering awards this year, that is certain. Not only have my children been watching unthinkable amounts of Noggin the last 6 weeks, but they have been eating Eggos, chicken nuggets, PB&J’s, fruit snacks, and all sorts of “Mom is totally wussing out” kinds of foods. To my credit though, lest you think me absolutely ( Read more... )

Hi. Hello. Is this thing on? I've been gone for a while, you see. And I'm afraid I may have forgotten how to do this. Let's enlist the help of our happy aid, the asterisk, shall we ( Read more... )

Seriously, has anyone (especially you guys who are facebook and/or myspace proficient) heard from her lately? Her last post wasn't exactly happy-go-lucky, and she hasn't posted since then. I'm a touch worried.

We watched "Stranger Than Fiction" last night. It is now in my top ten movies of all time. Is it just because I haven't watched a non-cartoon film, uninterrupted for so long, or is this movie *that* good?
