Heard in the other room:
Henry [knowing a sucker is born every minute]: Give me your arm. I promise I won't kiss it.
Ed: AEIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
Henry [proudly]: That's an indian sunburn.
Ed [running to me]: Mommy! Henry twisted my arm!
Me: Yes, that's called an indian burn.
Ed: What's an indian burn?
Me [banging head on wall]: What he did to your arm.

"Sleep study" sounds so peaceful and calm. Apparently not.
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!!
