Yesterday, as I sat praying that my 3rd cup of coffee would stir a little somethin’ up in the ol’ bowels, I caught a story on the Today Show that once again sort of shocked me. Ironically, it was about a woman who runs a potty training program out of her house called “Booty Camp.” I won’t go in to a lot of detail about this woman’s methods, but I will say this: Bitch Ca-Razy! Okay. Literally imagine 3 year olds, with their pants DOWN, sitting next to each other on beginner potties in a ROW, in THE MIDDLE of some lady’s kitchen. Their parents are watching and being given ...Read More
“Are you so excited to come with me?” I asked T-Ko as we got dressed.“Oh, yeah. Thrilled,” he said dryly. “I’ve been waiting for this day my whole life.” “You’ll be in a room full of women…”“Who cares? Their vaginas all look like Glad bags.”“What?! A glad bag?? Does MY vagina look like a ‘glad bag?'”“I don’t know. I never see it.”“Ha ha.” I quickly pull down my pants and flash T-Ko. (Mommy is sassy!)“Nope. It’s fine,” he says.“Phew,” I say sarcastically.
Okay. I realize that T-Ko is not the “oooh, can I come with you to Mommy & Me” kind of Daddy, BUT I was hoping for a little ...Read More
I love Target. I love it like a drug. Give me an excuse to go there and I’m all over it. So tonight, when I decided that I should bake brownies to take to a friend’s house tomorrow for a play date, and that we’re out of diapers and wipes (oh, and napkins too), the red and white dartboard called to me.
Well, ever wonder where all the freaks in your neighborhood go on a Monday at 9:30pm? Well, look no further. They are at TARGET. That’s right. Tar-jay. And I’m pretty sure the freaks from your neighborhood, contacted the freaks from my neighborhood and made plans to go to ...Read More
FIRST, I got an invitation from a friend to DO IT with some of her friends. But, I had to pass because T-Ko wouldn’t be able to watch Baby-Ko that afternoon…
THEN, I asked T-Ko if he had any interest in DOING IT with me instead, but he said unless I bought him an X-Box 360 and gave him a BJ, he had no interest.
SOOOO… THEN, I asked Sam if she wanted to DO IT with me. She said “yes!” but she’s leaving for a long trip so we’d have to do it AFTER she gets back. I told her I couldn’t wait until late June so we made ...Read More
Everyone who knows me well, knows that I am kind of a hypochondriac. Aside from the fact that I lost interest after Doug Ross & Dr. Greene left the show, I had to stop watching ER because by the end of the episode, I had every condition they were treating (including the injuries from car crashes). Thank god, these days, my hypochondria seems to be at an all time low. I’m not sure if having a child has “cured” it, or “Grey’s Anatomy” isn’t really a medical drama, but I am certainly enjoying living without a “disease du jour.”
However, I could NOT believe my ears this morning when I heard ...Read More
I wish I had something wildly entertaining to write about but unfortunately nothing has happened in the past few days that I feel warrant a post…. Plus I think I have a terrible case of “Momnesia.” Seriously. Ever since I saw the report that women become forgetful after having a baby on the Today Show, my Momnesia has been in full affect. (Come to think of it though, I do remember their set that day and loving the Jonathan Adler vase behind the couch….)
ANYWAY, at my last Mommy & Me class, the lecture was about introducing table foods to the babies. WACKY made us stand in a circle and ...Read More
Before we left for our trip, I wanted to write a post that said “I hope this doesn’t trip doesn’t end with someone saying ‘We need to move the island.'” But I thought it would be too morbid. But now that I’m back, I can say it. THANK GOD no one said it and we were able to spend one very fun and blissful week on the gorgeous island of Maui. (That was for all the other “Lost” nerds)
I miss Maui already. Frozen drinks, Baby-Ko in the pool, fresh towels and sheets every day… I could have easily stayed for another week (or two). Honestly, I was worried about ...Read More
It’s official. My 8 month old son is a chick magnet. Young, old, big, small… doesn’t matter. He draws ’em in with his eyes, then his smile, and then they’re hooked. For the past 3 days, Baby-Ko has been the object of desire in particular for one 5 year old girl, named Keilani… She sees him in the pool and she comes RUNNING. She said she loves babies and he is “soooooooooo cute.” (I won’t lie, my boy looks A-DOR-ABLE in board shorts). Keilani’s pretty cute too. T-Ko joked and asked her if she has a job and she said, “um, yeaaaaah. I go to school.” Good ...Read More
Greetings from Maui. We arrived yesterday afternoon after a seriously delightful plane ride with Baby-Ko. I mean, literally, the kid did not make a peep the entire time. He was smiley and sweet and flirting and making friends with everyone he could. He slept through take off AND landing (just like his mommy). Needless to say, T-Ko and I felt beyond relieved by the time we landed and were ready to book our next vacation based on our little gem’s behavior.
Of course, now the time change thing has kicked in… and with naps, sleep, and even poops all out of whack, our little guy is a tad fussy. But it’s ...Read More
Tomorrow’s the big day. T-Ko, Baby-Ko and I are heading to the beautiful island of Maui for a week. My best friend T and her boyfriend are coming too so I have no doubt it’s going to be a blast. It’s our first trip with Baby-Ko and while we are so excited, we’re both a little nervous about how he’ll handle the plane… I’m sure that it’ll be smooth sailing once we land, but the shlepping portion of it all sounds a little daunting. I seriously cannot believe the amount of crap that one 18 pound baby needs. So much that I literally got on the scale with the ...Read More
