Why can't I be Supermother?
Last night I woke up in a sweaty panic. Robbie's birthday party is on the 12th, and it hadn't yet occurred to me to do anything about actually INVITING OTHER KIDS. I had visions of forgetting it completely, no one showing up to the party, and Robbie crying and crying. This is why I was reading in the living room last night from 2-3am. So today at the office I printed out cute but hasty invites and stuck them in the mailboxes at school in the afternoon. Crisis averted.
Then tonight we're all getting ready for trick or treating and I suddenly realize that we don't have trick or treating bags. Not a major problem at all, and the boys are going to use Whole Foods bags… But WHY can't I remember this stuff??
Where is the part of my brain that is supposed to be activated by my momness? Is there a switch somewhere I should flip? What the hell?!
No time to ponder about this anymore, got to take 2 pirates and a tiger out through the neighborhood. Mr. Plain and I will be King & Queen. Have a fun night everyone!
I don't even no the lingo to be a super mom.
I just figured out that 'stuffies' are soft toys….I never new that.
How can I possibly compete with the other moms when I don't even know the language they speak!?
Oh, I tell you, Jane, I am having difficulties with this exact sort of thing. And I wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep over it, too!
I've been trying for YEARS to be on top of the birhtdays in my family & my hub's family. My MIL even made me a calendar with EVERYONE's birthday & anniversary on it. She did it during her August visit. In 2005.
I still can't get my shit together to get freakin' cards out to them. Cuz I can't find the calendar. It's true.
Honestly…I'm going to get evaluated for ADD.
Best,
Peg
CC — yeah, I knew about "stuffies" but I refuse to use the word!
Peg — I wonder what is going to wake us up tonight??

Blogger Holiday Cookie Party! Yay! I love bloggers, holidays, cookies, and parties. What could be better than this?
"Parents who choose a stroller that seats their baby facing away from them could risk long-term development problems in their children" -- I call BULLSHIT. Why is this being made an issue?
Need a new sewing machine? Polliwogged is giving away two Singer Curvys.
Holy crap.
Oh Christina, there's no shame at all. And good for you for deciding to fight for your marriage.
OK, we're all meeting Laura at pickup today and we're going to kick ass and take names.
Amen.
Loralee is at the hospital with a major kidney infection. Hustle over and tell her something funny.
Perfect! I couldn't have said it better myself.
YAY Simone!!
Sounds heavenly, but I'm left wondering what in the world is a "Teutonic spank?"
Congrats! (And I totally better be in that 20 or I'm going to cut you at BlogHer!)
