There’s a good chance I’ll be washing my mouth out with soap later
2007-10-04 22:02:00 © Mrs. Flinger 2007. Heard on the playground: LB, speaking to another little girl about her age whom she just met, “Oh, man! That’s what I’m allowed to say. Oh, Man. Like Swiper. Not fuckit like Daddy. Only boys can say Fuckit. Mommy says Oh, Crap. But we say Oh, Man because we’re girls.” Cussing is now restricted to blog entries only. It’s the only way. My only outlet.

Born Again and I don’t mean just my hootch
2007-10-03 06:12:00 © Mrs. Flinger 2007. Hi! Did you miss me? I missed you. God, did I miss you. I felt it was time to re-birth the blog. My love life and being a born-again-virgin aside, I have a story. I wrote about it. Wanna hear it? Too bad. I’m telling you anyway. I started blogging in the fall of 2003. Two Thousand Three. Wow. Some senior is graduating high school this year and telling me he/she was in Jr. High when I started blogging. I almost believe it. One masters degree, two children, three houses and four years later, here I am. I’ve recently come to know even more wonderful writers. I found the Seattle Mom’s blog community. I met (in person!) Andrea. I’ve met several other women in real life, plan on meeting even more, and I love it here. The only trouble is, maybe I love it here a little too much. While I was kicking myself for not making it to the lists of the sites that I adore and wish I was half as eloquent as, my son gained ten pounds, my ... More About: Born Again

2007-07-27 12:38:00 © Mrs. Flinger 2007. For those of you in the area, I say let’s get together sometime for drinks, shall we? I even made a button for it!! Seriously, it’s not as cool as, say, hobnobbing with Leah or Amy but you can’t beat the airfare and the city is just LOVELY this time of year. (One day, I will meet them. I will. And I will probably be too drunk to remember it but I will have pictures to show for it.) Meeting details to be announced! (Also, if you happen to be a Seattle or Portland or vicinity blogger, please leave your URL so I can add you to my new and upcoming WA/OR blogger list, mmmK? Thank you.) And if you want to use THIS cool button, feel free. The more the merrier. <a href="http://mrs.flinger.us"> ;<img src="http://flinger.us/images/going_ FlingHer.gif" border="0"></a> tags:
Belonging (Or why I’m ok that I’m not in Chicago this weekend)
2007-07-27 11:45:00 © Mrs. Flinger 2007. I find myself in an odd place in life. Having grown up in a church, raised with like-minded people who could recite the Apostle’s Creed by heart, there was always an abundance of people around. There was an automatic system for support, or “fellowship” as the churchy people say. I left the Catholic church for a more “progressive” church during college and found other like-minded people again. There was a social network readily available. But most importantly, there was some being in my brain, this “God” that I would speak to. I was never truly alone. These ideals finally fell off, after a few years of questions and unsatisfying answers and even more unfortunate run-ins with “God’s People”, and I finally laid to rest the idea that God is there. I got married, I made children, I made friends outside the church. I always thought one day we’d go back to The Church, if not because of a belief ...

Virtual Makeover and a GiveAway! *updated with a new style!
2007-07-21 02:08:00 © Mrs. Flinger 2007. About once a year I get all “PPfffttt I hate my hair. I hate my body. I have nothing to wear and that bitch over there looks great in her A-line layered cut and I look like a mom!” Ok, maybe more than once a year. But I usually only post about it once a year. This year is a little different. I’ve taken action! I’ve taken photos! I’ve uploaded photos to websites and tried hair on like a teenager with too much time on her hands! (How this is possible, don’t ask, because LB will tell you something about Sesame Street on a loop or some such nonsense, silly girl.) And here I am as Jennifer Anniston. The resemblance is uncanny! So, here’s how things are going down as far as I know: I have a few pictures here, numbered, for you to tell me what you like. Then, if you have a better idea or want to play along, you simply take this photo and upload it to a virtual makeover site Submit the new hair to me...

How Internet A-D-D happens (or “Why the dishes aren’t done and we’re
2007-07-18 12:48:00 © Mrs. Flinger 2007 I’ve recently got a question about moving wordpress blogs from one place to another. I found this plugin that will help you accomplish this task. From this site, I then found a bunch of great information and decided to bookmark it. I also noticed this widget that allows a display of up to 8 recent referrals and instantly had to install it. (Looksy over there --- > ) I then found this blog from a gal who’s nerdy, brilliant, AND lives in College Station, the town I grew up being taught to worship the Aggies and all thing A&M. I noticed her twitter posts and remembered I haven’t posted to twitter in a while so I logged in to think of something fun and witty to say. I realized I slept an hour and a half last night and witty and sleep deprivation aren’t a great match. I got an email. I clicked to open it. All hell breaks loose in baby-ville and that, my friends, is the end of that. tags: blogging college+station ... More About: Internet , Intern , Dish , The D , Dishes
The post that keeps on postin’ *Now complete with commentary and blogger
2007-07-16 12:28:00 © Mrs. Flinger 2007. Time: July 15th 8:10pm I honestly have no idea how people with two small kids blog. I’m not sure who LB is more jealous of, the computer or her new brother. Either way, any time I try to sit down and write something, let alone something remotely fun or spunky, her little world has some crisis and her brother magically starts screaming. It’s uncanny. For the last eight weeks I’ve been posting in stages. Stage 1: Make up the title and click “Save Draft”. Walk away from computer to fix meltdown. Stage two: Write something and click Save Draft repeatedly in between a myriad of feeding/helping/entertaining/soothing. This stage could take hours or days. Stage three: edit and scan for punctuation and spelling. (I usually skip stage three these days.) Stage four: hit publish, have no time to actually respond to comments even though I read them, laugh or nod or want to say something oh-so-much like how much I heart you. Start...

We were going along just splendidly, or rather as splendidly as one with a new baby could possibly be going along, when BLAMO! The ‘flux hit the house. LB had the flux. We weren’t aware that’s what was going on until well in to my “I hate being a mom OHMYHELL what did we do?!” phase. Once she got on Zantac, life became bearable. A few months later, she started sleeping and a few months after that I uttered the words “Number Two.” And now, ...

2007-07-12 13:25:00 © Mrs. Flinger 2007. Mrs. F. PPffttt. I won’t be able to do my wordless wednesday this week. Oma: Why not? Mrs. F. I can’t find our condoms. And oh my god, I just told my mom I can’t find our condoms. Oma: I think they’re under the sink in LB’s bathroom. Mrs. F. How in the world do you know THAT? Oma: I thought it was fruit.

I don’t suck! The post with all the links…
2007-07-10 17:17:00 © Mrs. Flinger 2007 Surprisingly, you people love to talk vajayjays and beer. Or babies. Or my lack of s.e.x life. Or d) all the above. Which suits me just fine because right now, as of this moment, I have nothing profound. Nada. Oh, sure, I’ve been fawning all over Julia Sweeney lately, and her CD Letting Go of God. I’ve even taken notes, as in Hand Written Notes, in a journal, with a pen, and… paper. I know. What’s paper? But the truth is, the sun, my toddler, my newborn seven week old and my mother are kicking my ass as of late. The type of ass-whooping that entails falling asleep in the recliner whilst rocking the boy child only to find oneself up as the entire family sleeps muttering cusswords under her breath because why-for-the-love-of-god-am-I-not-asleep-i -am-so-screeewweeeeed-tomorrow. The good news is, I have been plotting. Or, rather, I’ve been thinking, which lately is the same thing. There will be a competition here. There will be... More About: Post , Suck
Eye Dee, You Dee, We all scream for IUD
2007-07-07 09:22:00 Copyright © 2007 Mrs. Flinger. Internet, I love you. If I wore lipstick, I’d write a big heart with our initials in it on a paper napkin while we we’re out to drinks together. ”I heart Internet.” I’m not thinking the neosporine chapstick has the same effect. But I’d kiss a napkin and write my phone number on it if I could. I went to the doctor yesterday for an ultrasound. The vaginal variety. (Serilously? The most action I’ve seen in months. MONTHS, I tell you.) The technician was just lovely. I even stayed IN THE STIRUPS while I talked to her after the session. Hi! You just stuck a wand up my vajayjay. Let’s talk about the housing market! As it turns out, I had a very large cyst on my left overy, which is gone now, and hi! I ovulated. Swell. Can someone sit down with my girl parts and explain that they JUST had a baby and, well, it’d be nice to take some time off of the reproduction and all? Thank you. So, I’m ok...

It’s complicated
More articles from this author:2007-07-06 03:33:00 Copyright © 2007 Mrs. Flinger. Things got a little ... complicated this week. It’s not just having two children that makes life… complicated. It’s not just having a preemie that makes life ..... complicated. It’s not just that a two year old is ... complicated. No, it’s what happens to your body after you go through the miracle of creating an entire human being, growing that person who will one day grow up and be a president of a major corporation or a doctor or a teacher or a data-structure-analizer, after all of the blessed joy of pregnancy, your body totally craps out. It’s .. complicated. I started bleeding, profusely, after walking around downtown Saturday. This happened for a few days until finally, on Tuesday, I had the bright idea to call the doctor and just make sure this is all kosher. You know, because “I’m about to loose half my brain out my hayhay and, well, is that normal? I’d kind of like to keep that p... More About: Complicated 1, 2, 3 |
