FamilyI just read something that will allow me to go to sleep in peace, confident that I have done as well as anyone could have done by my children and my job and myself. Not that I needed this level of affirmation, but every little bit helps. At least I was in the room with them today while I was wondering if I could lock them up for a ten-hour stretch. Hat tip to http://www.Blogging Baby for reminding us once again that it’s a looong way down.
She has now been sentenced to 30 days in jail and lost custody of her kids, all for a crime in which she and her boyfriend left the kids in their apartment at about 3 p.m. and did not return until nearly 1 a.m. the following day. Cook told authorities she thought she would return earlier.
I write. A lot.
I also design stuff and collect funny things kids say. Oh, and please buy my book. It's very funny.
I also review books and keep track of them in The Mommy Blog Amazon Book Store.

My son was in the same room as me when I was getting dressed one day. I scratched the top of my left breast a little and he said, “Mommy, you are touching your —-!”
I said to him, “I just have an itch,” to which he responded, “That’s *your* excuse!”

After being told to go outside and pick up the dog poop, he goes outside, whines and complains. He comes back in and says, “Mom, I think the dog over-pooped.”

When I woke up one morning with a sore throat, raspy voice, and fever, my three-year-old, Emilie, asked me what was wrong. I said, “Mama has a cold…” and she felt my cheek for a minute before saying, “No. You has a hot!”

Do you know how I memorized 2 x 11? I have this fake pencil in my brain, and it writes down the multiplication!!

Hi Mindy!
I haven’t been here in a while, but Jack has been raving about the new design for months. He knows what he’s talking about.
Looks great keep up the good work! Time to figure out breakfast—starting with coffee.

Yes, apparently the “Springer Generation” will have learned self reliance the hard way.
What’s scarier than this happening? Is how many times it probably happens, somewhere, and we just don’t hear about it.

So I guess she won’t need a sitter when they feature her on the show ... And hey, she didn’t fly to Vegas for 5 days w/ her husband, leaving her 10-YO stepson to watch his 5-YO brother (who is autistic). Very deep indeed, is the Dark Side of the Parenting Force.
