NewsHeh… had to share this: the kids all piled into bed with me to show off their Mother’s Day creations and to open Logan’s bday gifts. Logan made a paper scroll “hug” with a hand on either end and a poem in the middle, and also a baked-clay butterfly on a stick to put in the garden. Dylan made paint handprints with the little “handprint” poem we’ve all made for our own mothers, and a paper flower in a decorated water bottle. It’s beautiful beyond words.
Gil brought me coffee in bed, and made puffed pancakes!!! We used to have them as a special treat when I was a little girl, and it was every bit as yummy as I remember it to be! He also gave me a beautiful gift of a silver heart on a lariat chain to wear when I miss the other… Daphne noticed that it was polished silver and was trying to make faces ar herself in it.
Off to do the NYT crossword and mediate the new-birthday-gift wars!
Love to all!!
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!”

Jax: Mommy, here’s a little piece of toilet paper to wipe the tip.
Mommy: The tip of what?
Jax: Your penis.

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!!

Happy belated mother’s day!
Mark bought me a kick ass Misfits shirt and some movies, one of which involves Johnny Depp as a pirate (oh so yummy). And Xavier must have told me happy mother’s day 200 times so it was perfect.
