How is he supposed to make it big on the dance circuit with his little brother horning in on the spotlight? Another in my series of less-than-a-minute videos.

Can jazz hands be far behind?

I love seeing Henry doing something which gives him so much joy and confidence.

We just had a three day weekend, and it seems I got a little too relaxed. See if you can figure out which two boys had to wear their little brother's PJs to bed last night. Whoops.

Doing laundry on a regular basis is overrated.

I think in fact that there are 3 weeks of every month when women are pumped full of hormones which mask just how completely irritating other people are.

OMGWTFBBQ. I am so glad this had a happy ending.

Good lord, you people are BRILLIANT! Now that's the way to be BPA-free and economical. Wow! (Combine this perfect baby hack with my mother-in-law's Cream Cheese Coffeecake recipe and you'll be all set :)

Hey, does anyone know how Twitter is going to make any money? I love using it, but I'm concerned that they'll fade away because as far as I can tell, they don't have income other than VCs. How does that work? I wish they'd come out with a Pro version that has lots of cool features. I'd pay for it just in the hope that it would help them stay afloat!

Interesting story on Momlogic. They sound like real asshats. [Update: Why do I keep linking to posts which subsequently get taken down? It's a talent. In any case, it looks like a Cease and Desist letter is the reason the post was removed. Interestinger.]

And really, it's a sickness how much I love i can has cheez burger. Those damned cats make me laugh EVERY DAY. They win my vote for Best Thing of All Things on the Internet. Srsly.

I'm over at PunditMom's today junking up her cogent political discourse with my goofball claptrap.

But it's just as well since I don't have two brain cells to rub together. I just got back from taking Charlie to another laser eye procedure, and while it went well and the doctor thinks it will help his vision, it was long and moderately stressful and I'm beat. And prone to run-on sentences.

We've got an amazing sitter who comes every Saturday night from 6-11pm. He's a great guy who has been a preschool teacher for decades, and each of our kids was in his class when they were about 2. It is a huge extravagance, but it is worth it for us to be able to walk out the door, not worry for one second about our kids, and spend time together as grownups.

I thought you might enjoy seeing what a typical night out is like for us. It contains food, drinks, a movie, grocery shopping, a little TMI, politics and more! I know, sounds great right? :)

The only part of the evening I had to leave out was the restaurant we went to right before going home — the battery died as we walked in the door! The rest is there in it's "glory" — I'll let you be the judge.

What happened to the Crazy Hip Blog Mamas? Why did they pack up their web site and go home? (Thanks Mel for the heads-up.) Any of you who were showing their BizRate/Shopzilla ad please note that it ended at the end of March '08 and you can take it down now.

Amen, 'boundaries' is precisely right. I'll go out on a limb here and say that breastfeeding an 8 year old is just plain wrong. Yes, I am judging people who do it. I have opinions. The end.

Why Dooce is still one of my favorite bloggers. Thank you, finally someone weighs in on the stupid gas tax holiday and actually makes sense. Whoa, this husband is living on the edge.

OMG, this is SO much worse than a bad haircut. Gross! Totally not wrong. Recently I was quoted in the New Jersey Star Ledger and on MSNBC. My kind of news. Jill Asher rocks her TV interview.

I'm really not looking forward to this in my future. Introducing a sweet baby boy who I hope is not too fussy for his mama.

Yeah, I know… No one cares what I had for lunch, BUT they didn't say anything about breakfast. Plus, Kara asked. So with that, the first installment of Erika On Demand is all about breakfast. Enjoy.

And a bonus video in case you were just dying to know what I feed my kids while I'm still groggy in the morning. Bonus points for those who can identify the sound of my coffee maker in the background. Movie studios pay extra for those kinds of effects, but you? You get it for free.

So what else do you want to see? Something in my house? My yard? My city? Something I should go do? Leave a comment and let me know.

Hey folks, I've got a crazy idea. Ask me some questions and I'll answer them on video. What do you want to know? Want to see anything special at my house, my office, my city? Let me know and I'll see what I can do. You can think of it kind of like Erika on Demand. (By the way, "show me your tits" is not a valid suggestion. Craig.)

While I'm waiting for your questions, I'll show you a typical afternoon in the backyard with the brothers.
