All I did was follow a Beancounter link.  And then I thought, maybe I’ll just see what it’s like to be a mommy for a couple of minutes.

But now that I’m here, inside the movabletype, dressed as Mindy, so to speak, I’m feeling a little bit scared.  Suddenly it seems like I’m somewhere I’m not supposed to be.  Like I’ll be found out.  A fraud.  Like there’s too much pressure.  A need to run.

Is this what it’s like to be a Mommy?

I came home today and the most wonderful thing had happened.  Gil had called a new contractor right after I left for work.  He and his crew showed up, and for bonuses no greater then pizza and beer finished our front yard!  I’m so happy I could pee in my pants right now.  After they left a landscaping company came in and resodded the yard.  Everything is finally done!  And the children behaved the whole day!

Hi! ;-)
I’m ;-) the ;-) opposite ;-) of ;-) Mindy.

Well, you’ve come to The Mommy Blog, so I know you are here for some hot Mommy-type action. In fact, I’m sure that all of you readers are moms, so you’ll be delighted to hear my charming anecdotes about my adorable children. You know, they just say the darnedest things!

Oh, darn. My apron string just came untied again. Daphne, you little vixen, have you been pulling Mommy’s apron strings again?

My, how the time has flown. I have to finish that carrot and sauerkraut casserole now—Gil will be home from the office any minute, and you have no idea how he grumbles if supper isn’t on the table! ;-)

ta-ta!

Dude, when Mindy dared me to get on the lift, it looked so easy from down below, where I’m used to the view. But now I’ve got my skis strapped on ... I’m in the chair ... the lift is going really freakin’ far up the mountain ... Whoaaaaa ... The view from up here is amazing!

But now I have to ski the run. Hookay, hold on ...

HI! As Mindy-for-a-day, I thought I’d share some of the plans on the ol’ drawing board for “The Mommy Blog”. Step right over here. Watch your step. Would you like a juice box? Some goldfish crackers? They have little smilie faces! Gooood. Use your napkin, now.

I didn’t realize there’d be so much self-imposed pressure to be clever when posting as Mindy, but apparently THERE IS!!

So I decided instead of trying to climb that pedestal, I’d try to share some higher consciousness with everyone.  It’s not just for humans anymore you know.
