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.

Wednesday, April 07, 2004 Opposite Day

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.

Wednesday, April 07, 2004 Opposite Day

Wednesday is Opposite Day at Chez Roberts. In true SpongeBob tradition, we honor the occasion with hurled insults, sassy backtalk, and general contrariness. We luuurve Opposite Day.

Me: “OK, everyone! I need goodbye hugs and kisses! I’m going to work! Eeeew, Logan, I think I’ll just hug you; you’re a little slathered in breakfast.”
Logan: “No, I’m not!”
Me: “Oh yeah! That’s right! You don’t deserve a kiss anyway. And no hug. Toodles.”
Logan: “I’ll never see you again!”
Me: “And I don’t like you very much at all!”
All: [More mad giggling]

Buzz noticed that the blahs are going around, and his post reminded me of something from this morning that made me so very, very happy to be a mom, and especially happy to be me.

I was sleeping on my tummy, which I never do unless I am completely crashed and don’t feel uncomfortable enough to roll back. I felt a tickling on my forehead, and my cheek. I opened one eye and blinked and saw that Dylan had crawled over me and was resting his head on the pillow next to me. He was stroking my hair and brushing his fingers over my face, watching me sleep.

I smiled at him and said, “I love you.” He looked back at me, never taking his eyes off mine, and replied solemnly, “Good.”
