Blog entry: The Week That Never Happened... by complicated_mama at 11:55am Mon, 8 Feb 2010 for group(s) Family Connections
Sometimes things work out how you plan... and then sometimes- they just- don't.Like my GPS, my skype with Jeff Corwin, and my meet & greet with Elmo. ((sigh))
Blog entry: Let's Talk About Sex, Mommy by Rita Arens at 11:22am Mon, 8 Feb 2010 for group(s) Family Connections, Working Mommies
Physical changes. Exhaustion. Fights. Late nights. Early mornings. Weight gain. Money worries. Busy schedules. Sounds sexy, doesn't it? You'd think once you get partnered up with someone, the sex would be easy, accessible and free-flowing. Or at least not a chore. So why are so many mommies lacking in libido? The explanation may have nothing to do with you or your physical make-up and everything to do with your schedule. Put down the K-Y and let's discuss.
Blog entry: Mother, Blogger, (Somewhat) Felon by kirida at 8:00am Sat, 6 Feb 2010 for group(s) Family Connections, Seattle-area BlogHers
Last week, I came home and found a note on my windshield. I thought it was from one of the neighbors asking me not to be a butthole about parking my car. Instead, it was a $42 parking ticket because my tabs had expired last month, and I haven’t gotten around to paying it because I am lazy and I don’t need The Man telling me what to do. I’m going rogue! Nissan Rogue! After I improve my credit score for a low-interest rate! I grabbed the ticket and sulked inside, where I grumbled as I renewed my tabs online and printed out my receipt.
