Your blog post should include at least one link to the Momfinitions article on ParentsConnect.com. Feel free to upload photos or videos to better describe your Momfinitions.

Then return to this discussion page, post a comment below summarizing your blog post, and include an active link to your qualifying blog entry. The deadline to enter is July 22, 2009. Winners will be contacted the week of July 27.

The Mommy Blog’s Five Momfinitions:

Mommy Scrum: (n.) The morning dogpile in Mommy’s bed, up to and including the coordinated effort to prevent a goal (Mom getting up and out).
Amid sounds of little feet pounding down the hallway at dawn, “Let the Mommy Scum begin!”

Opposable Thumbs-Up: (n.) When one parent laughs and another scowls at funny/inappropriate behavior. Can also be applied to the divide-and-conquer method of gaining parental permission.
To child: “Sweetheart, we do not remove our own or anyone else’s pants in public.” To spouse: “Stop laughing.”

Slomework: (n.) Homework that goes on for ages done by a child moving like cold molasses.
“Are you sure you don’t want to finish your slomework at Daddy’s?”

Land Grab: (n.) Simultaneous efforts by all children to secure equal or superior parcels of Mommy Real Estate.
“Can’t make it to coffee, nursing injuries from this morning’s Land Grab.”

Momasaur: (n.) When an attempt to be cool/helpful/current fails miserably, with or without a request from an embarrassed child to never try it again.
“Ugh, you’re such a Momasaur.”
