HBD- I immediately thought that she's probably just putting on a little chubs before hitting puberty. I bet as her body changes, it will go to the necessary places. :)

Hey Everyone- I found this site 4 or so years ago when I was contemplating a divorce. At the time I was a stay at home mom of 3 boys and part time private doula. Those were some really, really dark times. This site was my life line to sanity.…

You can make it so that you can just play. But I totally forget how.

I've been largely absent since the change over... but OS was a sanity saver when the Tinyness (now nearly 5) was a baby. The last couple of years the Tinyness has been in preschool and I've gone back for my bachelors in accounting, I will…

SA-WEET! More crappy songs for a seeming pointless, unimaginative "air guitar"? I can't wait. On the plus side, immediately after posting this, I go inside to Ro singing me the ABC's on the mic. Auto-tuned and…

If you go to http://www.wowwee.com/en/support/ you can select the product and download the instructions as a PDF. The pro series apparently has even more crappy songs!

I have no idea what that is and can be of no use, but I wanted to sympathize that you are suffering through that thing.

"Paper Jamz" WTF?

So D got one of those Paper Jamz guitar things for his birthday and i am completely perplexed by it. he seems to be too. it plays one crappy song although the website says it plays 3 songs. and unfortunately, he opened it up and threw away all the instructions with it. what do you all know about it? how do we get it to change? the amp seems pointless as all it does it make the crappy song louder. the mic thing is the most interesting because he can sing into it but it does give his voice…See More

Eh, no worries. I did have "andromeda" for a while--all lower case--but I figured people would get us mixed up. Which could be amusing, you know, but probably annoying more than anything else. Besides,…

Profile Information

About Me:: mom of 1.75 kids, The Dictator and As Yet To Be Nicknamed. .75 will become 1 full child on october 22. i have a degree in studio art emphasis in printmaking. there are other things about me, but i haven't had coffee yet.

What's something about your kid(s) that makes you happy?: the Dictator is a little love to me. he cuddles in the morning, gives me kisses whenever i want them, and loves his unborn little brother very much. all these things melt my heart. he is also wicked smart and i am always so proud when it's obvious that he really gets something i taught him.

What's your most recent kid-related public humiliation?: the Dictator telling every random stranger that we are going to lose our house. (kind of true, kind of not)

What about contemporary parenting culture pisses you off the most?: mommy wars - other parents judging my parenting.

Who were you BEFORE you became a parent?: crazy, free, go where i want, stay up late, smoke what i want, drink what i want, live where i want... it was fun. truthfully, i was trying to figure out who i was, so i can't quite tell you exactly WHO i was. but i was fun.

What are you nerdy about?: science. i currently am sporting giant crushes on Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson and physicist Prof Brian Cox.

Favorite music/books/TV/movies:: music- i like a lot of british bands. the smiths, jamiroquai, everything but the girl, del amitri, etc etc...

books - it changes. but good old stand-bys include The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Candide, Harry Potter

TV- i watch a lot of Food Network, HGTV, Science Channel, and crime dramas.

OPTIONAL: Do you have a sex life?: sex life.. hmm.. sex life. i think i have heard of this. i think i might of had one at some point. oh yeah, it's what got me into this crazy club. i haven't seen it in a while though.

i found out yesterday my dad has prostate cancer. i don't know what stage it is in, prognosis, what kind of treatment he will need, nothing. he just found out so i imagine a few questions will be answered at the follow-up appointment.

it really sucks. my mom is beside herself. so like i did when she landed in the hospital from complications of her cancer treatment 18 years ago, i cleaned her floors. it's what i do.

and all my husband can say is,…

I Wish. (The early morning rantings of a very pregnant woman)

I wish i could sleep a full night before the baby comes.

I wish i could get comfortable in at least 1 position.

I wish i weren't so freakin' heavy.

I wish i didn't have a 2 story house.

I wish my husband would take the initiative and give me a back rub or foot rub.

I wish my husband would cuddle with me at night.

Hell, I wish my husband would bridge the 2 feet of space between us on the bed and touch me at all.

I wish my damn cat, Athena, wouldn't tear… Continue
