Mom Terminology

By on July 17, 2009 in Uncategorized
It’s no secret we have our own lingo in the Kingdom of Tired. I remember back (not all that long ago) when trying to conduct any conversation with non-sleep-deprived adulys resulted in a lot of Whatchu say?”

Then a while back I stumbled upon this great post from transparentmama about some hilarious “Momfinitions”. (Give it a quick read. It’s spot on).
That got me thinking about all the “momfinitions” spoken in the Kingdom of Tired. Here’s a few funnier ones:
Mompursedrain-itis: The affliction that strikes me whenever I go to the grovery store or car repair shop lately
Snoofs: A.k.a “stuffy nose”
Double barreled runny: What most normal people would call a child’s nose during a cold.
Groggy Froggies: What my kids are every morning when I have to jackhammer them out of bed (except on weekends when I get to sleep in Then they are up by 6 a.m)
Mudslide south of the border: What happens in my daughter pull up when she gets into the Little Debby’s Snack (that dang kid can climb like a raccoon)
Releasing the beast: What I hollar to the rest of family evermorning when I release this snack-eating-uber-climbing-child from her crib (thanks Gawd for containment!).
Unheckle time: That quiet time after all kids are in bed (usually lasts about 5-10 minutes…then I am unconsious in bed)
Lost in the woods: The code word for all crappy/broken/annoying toys that “go missing” (and thank YOU Mr. garageman.)

My Interview at The Mum Files!

By on July 15, 2009 in Uncategorized

Wow! I feel so important! What should I wear? What should I do? Will people want my autograph now? I’m sure it will be worth at least a buck-and-a-half on eBay!

All this excitment is because I have just given my first ever interview. And where better to do it than with my dear sweet friend lisa over at her an Ligia’s blog The Mum Files. Lisa and I have been friends 2001 and even though her and I have never actually met face-to-face, I count her as a true friend who’s opinion I always value. Someday when my kids can make their own sandwiches and wipe their own butts, I’m hopping a plane to Victoria Australia and “hang” with my pal.
I can’t wait. :)
In the mean time, please pop over http://lisaligia.wordpress.com/ and give me a read. I am talking about a couple of my favoriest things in the whole world: my babies and the subject of adoption. Enjoy!
