OH MY GOD, more Product Recalls: Children's jewelry for high lead levels. And still more children's jewelry chock full o' lead. LOOK PEOPLE: IF WE DON'T BUY IT, THEY WILL STOP MAKING IT ALREADY.
This dude …

Ten years ago today I was 29 years old and getting my hair done for my wedding. Our wedding was really just an excuse to have a fancy evening party, and we had it in …

Seriously, if you're tired of me telling you how great Y is, then just unsubscribe now. I love her honesty and humor. (And no, Y, you're not alone.)
OH MAN, I am actually scared by this! …

Yesterday it was an airplane, but today it has become, BUM BUM BUM… TOYHENGE.

"Fantastic, building a henge, are we?"

Sunday was Mike's party — same place, same time, same "food" as the party last November. We had coffee and ice water:

Note that the water was in "child safe" bottles. WTF? I've never been afraid …

Product recalls: Children's necklaces for lead. Children's stationery sets for containing a razor blade. "Elite Operations" toysets for lead AND laceration hazard. Give me a break.
Food recall: The bread with metal in it recall also …

…because I just heard Robbie say "god dammit!" (Note to self: must submit this story to Mother of the Year contest, but will most likely just fucking forget to do it.) NOW how am I …

But then Mike brought me this clover leaf from the yard:

And then a little later I saw all three boys playing together really nicely. They had made an airplane:

I had thought today was kind of …

Yo mama's a stone cold killer.
I'm not really sure why I'm showing you this. A textbook example of what you look like after 2 hours in line at the DMV.
Well, I suspect that this is …

Food recall: Safeway bread for containing pieces of wire.
A cautionary tale and some impressive photos!
Hell, after this description you'd be insane to want to leave. And I want to fly out there tonight!
The first photo …

Yes, its true. "300" is incredibly boring. I thought it was going to be a great battle epic with amazing effects and bowl-me-over sounds and music. I was hoping for it to be as great …

Sunday was Mike's birthday party, and I'm beat. SO, this will be short ;)
Leave it to Suzanne to make me laugh when I can hardly even see straight!

Our Diaper Genie broke the other day, and not in a repairable way. First I checked my normally-reliable and favorite online stores, but Amazon would ship me a new one in a month (give me …

Food recall: olives.

How do kids who really only eat …

I'm not going to link to her, but please do me a favor and go to babytalkers.blogspot.com and then tell me: is it weird that someone is plagiarizing my diaper ad?

At first I was happy …

Approximately One Million Product Recalls were issued yesterday: Don't drink Jermuk water. Cobmex Jackets. Nordstrom flannel pants. Extension cords. H & M Jackets. End times, I say, end times.

As much as I fancy myself a geek, there are still some things about the blogging world that I don't understand.
1. What is a blog carnival?
I am so clueless here that the first time wrote …

… I thought I'd continue the "cranky" theme & mood I've been in …
I keep reading posts from people who get so bent out of shape about others not helping them out when they have …

Sigh, the Chinese government does not love me. Want to check your site? Go to greatfirewallofchina.org (awesome URL) and let me know what it says.

I've been checking this page daily hoping it would go back to $29.99 AND ship in a normal amount of time. It has as of today, plus you get free shipping. The last time it …

I shuttled Chip to his eye surgeon this morning for another post-surgery check. It took an hour to get there, 25 minutes to park, the doctor was an hour and a quarter late, and I …

So I've covered the types of kid birthday parties I enjoy. But what's my least favorite kind, you ask? Holy hell, it is the kind where you just get a start time for the party …

Check out this AMAZING picture. Fan-freaking-tastic.
If this blog isn't a spoof I think my head will explode. If it is a spoof… I adore it.

Sing it, Antique Mommy.
This is a fabulous question.
Oh …

First, one piece of background before I tell you this story about Robbie. And here I'll quote Mike:
Robbie has a LOT of pee in his body!
Onward.
Robbie is nothing if not a good story teller. Ask …

I went to the dentist this morning. I like the hygienist, I like the dentist, everyone is really friendly there, and they are nearly always very prompt. The times that they are running a little …

Andria recounts 6 years ago today. Um, I mean "yesterday."

And a Kristen bifecta (is that a word?): crotch hair * and feeling homeless …

I post about a whiny douchebag and you all come out of the woodwork to agree with me. Now I'm not one who has ever had a posse, BUT YOU ALL ROCK THE FREAKING HOUSE.

Sigh, last November we had a birthday party for Robbie at a local gymnastics joint. The party was noon - 1:30 and involved kids playing wild and crazy games, eating cake, and going home exhausted. …

Ew. Yet disturbingly delicious-looking.

Agreed, this is a great smile.
Another story which reminds me that I like people.
Well. At least he's not clicker-trained.
As long …
