Gah. The ONLY reason I’m here is because my mom called and made me get out of bed. And I did it. I’m forty. Yes, thank you.

Anyway, I have been letting my correspondence slip something awful since the CBS/Oprah/CNN/CNNagain/ABC/WebMD parade, and offer sincere apologies to those who think I’m blowing them off. It’s not you, it’s me.

having said that, there are two things I’ve committed to: Mentioning Fresh Air Fund. Go. I’m too weak to type a permalink but it will be in the Site of the Day soon. Also, tomato seeds. I hate tomatoes but love Campbell’s so will have some information on how to get some of their seeds to grow your very own tomatoes which I, of course, will not eat. And two and a half, this from Michele Lamar, for whom I would actually get up and do a jumping jack while on my death bed:

Okay—-Mikwright cards (the very funny and dysfunctional card line)  is doing some “bid’ness” with WT Mom and I am doing a promotion for Mother’s Day with them. 

I wanted to see if you would do a guest post (you can recycle, naturally) about one of your favorite mom moments——the funny moments that the perfect moms won’t fess up to.  For the honor of being one of my mother’s day moms——-and being featured on my fine blog, you will receive:

Some kind of free funny stuff from Mikwright Cards.
A random and worthless tacky trinket from me
My undying gratitude, etc, etc
I’ll introduce you to Tim, the founder of Mikwright Cards, who is my new favorite gay man.

Are you up to the task?  Are you dysfunctional enough? I know you are. Let me know.

She knows me, she do. I replied:

Do you even have to ask? Ok tell me the requirements (if you haven’t already - I’m too weak to re-read) and I’m in. Damn fucking Parvovirus is kicking my ass. And I am getting so many MD requests that I’m starting to delete without reading but for you, baby, I’m in.

Keep ringing the doorbell if I don’t answer. The only reason I’m here now is because my mom called and made me get out of bed.

Oh, and this is the first thing I would have listed had it stayed in my short-term memory long enough for the Publish page to load: We’ll call it number 2.2. From Mommy Track’d, The Ultimate F-It Moment. I haven’t read it yet, but I highly recommend you check it out. I know I’ll love it, when the page loads.

And now I have to change out of my pjs to pick up the kids from school. You’d think they could just walk the mile home.

Oh, and then I get to shower, do my hair, and slather on makeup for a momversation.com video on getting through divorce sanely. I’m too weak to give that the chuckle it deserves.
