Can I Take Your Toddler to Dinner?
I really need to borrow a toddler on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday night. Why do I need to borrow your toddler? Because I only have one. If you’re lucky enough to have two kids (talking to you ktown), you’re going to love this one. We found a coupon in this week’s Metropulse for buy-one-get-one [...]
I Made the Deadline This Year
But just barely. Last year’s “year-end” post didn’t get written until we were literally hours into 2008. I’m on the ball this year though. Lots of changes for me this year! One big event is that I changed jobs. More accurately, I quit my job and got another one later. It was basically a case [...]
School Kids Make Me Jealous
So I’ve had a fun couple of days down here in Florida playing with my sister-in-law’s kids. We’ve been staying up until like 2 am drinking coffee (don’t tell their mom), eating pizza, playing Wii, and talking trash about our skills. It doesn’t hurt that the weather is perfect, so during the day we can [...]
Four Tips On Picking Up Somebody Else’s Baby Daddy
It’s not that I really mind getting hit on by women when I take Chick Pea out by myself. I mean, it’s flattering and all, and I don’t want to discourage it. But please, all you baby’s mamas and disaffected housewives, you need to bring your A-game. I’ve seen way too many mistakes lately. Here [...]
Recycled Post For Parents With Elementary Aged Kids
I promise I didn’t plan on doing this–I just happened upon this post form last year with tips on evaluating your kids’ teachers, and I thought it was a good time to bring it up again since school has just started back. This is one of the few posts I’ve written that I think may [...]
Our Own Sour Patch Kid
Earlier tonight we were patting ourselves on the backs over the fact that we realize no matter how sweet the kid can be, she definitely has a mischievous side. Tonight she was being pretty difficult while we were out at dinner, but every time someone would come talk to her and she’d turn on the [...]
Your Mom Gave Me Her Number
SVD has made a great find. No need to keep up with your kid anymore, just give them some ink and you’re done. I can already see where this is headed–kids running wild in zoos, amusement parks, shopping malls, and strip clubs.  Wait, I meant shopping clubs and strip malls…sorry. Meanwhile their moms will all [...]
Mongolian Spots and CPS
I just got a phone call from a friend who was upset to the verge of tears. She’d had Child Protective Services called on her by the daycare that she’s used for more than three years for her first child, and most recently for her six week old baby. Why did they call CPS? Because [...]
5 Reasons Bret Michaels is the Lamest “Rock Star” Ever
I remember when Poison was really popular and I thought they were stupid. Mostly it was because I was a music snob back then, but a lot of it had to do with the fact that they just sucked. Now we have Rock Of Love, and honestly, I can think of 5 people I know [...]
Homeschooling Ruled Illegal in California–Seriously
Last month I posted about a proposal in Nebraska that would mandate testing to homeschooling families. Today, thanks to Reason, I read an article in the LA Times stating that homeschooling has been ruled illegal by a California appellate court. “Parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children,” wrote Justice H. [...]
