Not Like Schwetty Balls
2007-04-24 14:20:00
I recently had a coupon for Coast soap. I do love coupons, especially if using it actually makes the item cheaper than the product I usually buy. Oooh, bargain hunting is exhilarating! I can't believe I just admitted that.Today was the first day of use for this Coast soap. It does smell nice...if you're a man. And today, that's how I feel, like I smell like a man. It's got a very manly odor. Not in a bad way, like schwetty balls or formunda cheese. But, like a freshly showered, shaved, and dressed man who likes to wear lots of cologne. And has a very hairy chest in which he shows off with the top two buttons of his tropical shirt unbuttoned. And his name is Stan and he wears a diamond encrusted pinky ring.I hope I get used to the smell, the coupon was for like 10 bars. That's a awfully long time to smell manly.I prefer to use girly-scented soaps, but on a day when my biggest plans are to sweep the kitchen floor and READ BLOGS, it seems silly to smell like Archipelego...

Not Knowing is the Hardest Part-Updated
2007-04-23 14:00:00
I feel like this is a stupid question...How do you know when you are really in labor?I spent most of yesterday convinced I was in the early stages of labor. I had many of the symptoms of early labor as opposed to "false" labor. In fact, I felt so bad, I didn't feel like reading blogs.I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE READING BLOGS.After 7 hours of irregular contractions, they finally stopped. I still feel very crampy, but the waves of contractions, back ache, and abdominal hardening stopped.(I was finally able to get my Google Reader to "no new posts.")Tate and I were freaking because we weren't quite sure what we were going to do with Peanut when we needed to go to the hospital. Tate's parents are set to come and stay with us in about 2 weeks. I couldn't really decide if I was truly in early labor or if it was just a false alarm, so I didn't want his parents to drive 11 hours just to have the contractions stop. Not knowing if I was actually in labor was the hardest part. Since I was induced...

I'm Putting Her Fate Into Your Hands
2007-04-20 15:09:00
It's contest time!!!!Today marks exactly 36 weeks pregnant, so I decided to celebrate with my very own contest! First off, I know you want to know if it's even worth your while to participate, so I'll start off with the prize. You get to name my daughter!!!!!!.Well, you get to give her a blog pseudonym, anyway. Currently, she's named Petunia. And I gotta say, it's just not working for me. She needs a new name. It can be a cutesy name, a real name, whatever. (Not an ugly** name, obviously!)Here's how you win...Guess the weight, length, and time of birth. I'm not doing the date because I have a feeling I'll be induced and then my contest would be a bust.I'll pick the winner based on weight, but if there's more than one "winner", I'll go to length. And if you are still close, I'll use the time of birth. I think this way all my bases will be covered.I am sooooooooooooo nice that I'm going to give you some history to make the guessing easier.Peanut was 5 lbs 5 oz, 20 1/2 inc...

Doing Paula Deen Proud
2007-04-19 15:19:00
Since moving to the DEEP SOUTH, I've learned a whole new world of acceptable cuisine. Those of you who watch Paul a Deen on Food Network get a small glimpse of the Southern palate, however, there's so much she doesn't divulge.Sure butter, sour cream, and bacon are staples. So is SWEET tea. Or in my opinion, syrup with a little tea juice mixed in. When I first moved South, I was confused when the server at a restaurant would ask "sweetened or unsweetened"? This is one Southern staple that I haven't been able to adopt.Did you know that it's acceptable and encouraged to put mayonnaise on fruit? Apparently, banana and mayo sandwiches are scrumptious delicacies. Okay. And mayo on pears with a sprinkling of cheddar cheese is considered edible. In all fairness, I haven't tried either, so I'm not saying these fruit and mayo combinations are a bad thing.Another thing that I haven't tried, but is truly Southern, is tomato gravy. If I knew more about it, I'd describe it for you. All I...

Thinking Blogger Award was Bestowed...On Me!!!
2007-04-19 03:53:00
Lene from Families are Like Fudge nominated me for the Think ing Blogger Award . After having written a post or two that don't exactly fit the mold of a Thinking Blogger, this award is especially appreciated. Sometimes after posting one of my NOT deep thinking posts, I feel like I should say, "But wait, it's just a joke. I'm smart. REALLY. I am! I have a Master's Degree for goodness sakes."Thanks Lene, for looking past my silly posts and seeing someone who actually does think. It means so much to me.Now I get to choose 5 people who make me think.First off is Sara from Suburban Oblivion. Hers was the very first blog I ever read, before I even knew what a blog really was. I had visions of bloggers being hunchbacked men with warts and moles and coke-bottle glasses. Obviously, I learned from Sara, that the blogosphere is a wonderful community, with open arms and thinkers! And I'm NOT just nominating her because I know her IRL. I'd nominate her if I'd never met her.Secondly, I'd li...

Sofa King
2007-04-18 14:47:00
Peanut is finally tall enough to climb up on the sofa. (His pseudo, blog name Peanut DOES not come from his salty goodness.)Now that he can climb on the sofa, there are no more quick runs to the ladies room while he plays quietly beside the sofa. Oh no. He's up on that sofa the second my ass has left the room. And he's running back and forth on the sofa. Falling over the back of the sofa. Throwing all the cushions on the floor.And I thought my house was a disaster before.This whole climbing thing needs to be nipped in the bud. NIPPED. IN. THE. BUD.Where the hell is Barney Fife when I need something nipped? Oh, he died? God rest his soul.I have shelves, people. And I've not properly child-proofed my home, so they're not attached to the wall. He is going to get smushed by those shelves. It's bound to happen.I've heard about kids climbing out of their cribs. Don't think I that I think that I'm immune. No sir. He's going to topple head first out of his crib. We're counting the...

Sugar and Spice and Everything I Hope For
2007-04-17 14:45:00
I'm going to be a Mother of a daughter in the next few weeks. I feel an overwhelming sense of the responsibility that lies ahead.I never pictured myself as the Mother of a daughter. When my husband and I started the discussions about starting a family, I imagined myself to be the Mother of two boys.My girlfriends have always thought I was odd for wanting boys. "Don't you want to buy all the frilly dresses and have somebody to go shopping with?", they would ask.I fear girls. My own relationships as a child, and now as an adult with other females are so complicated. We have PMS, cramps, crying spells, attitude, and drama.When I found out that I was pregnant with a girl, I did start thinking about the dresses, tea parties, spa trips, and shopping excursions.But having grown up as a female, I know that dresses and shopping are those fleeting moments in life. There is so much more that I have to do to raise a daughter.I certainly have hopes and worries about raising my son. However, ha...

The Night the Vandals Attacked, Tee Hee
2007-04-16 14:42:00
My neighbors (not the ones with a raging case of the CRAZIES, the kitty neglecters...more on that another time) got toilet papered last night. They have a thirteen year old daughter and I suspect she made the cheerleading squad. So, naturally, this is her way to be welcomed into the cheerleaders' clique.I was never cool enough to get TPed. Had I ever been TPed, my Dad would have probably had a coronary. He's a stickler for a pristine yard. Too bad that didn't rub off on me. Even with the threat of lots of cussing and yelling, I'd have loved to have been TPed just once!Apparently, I was never cool enough to actually succeed at TPing, either. Twice, I got talked into going, but a true, vandalization never actually occurred. The first time, we only took one roll of toilet paper. I know, what kind of dorks take ONE roll? We were afraid to take more, because her parents would notice the missing TP. And it's not like a liquor bottle that you can just fill up with a little water to ma...

Dear friends,Greetings from the Island of Shake-Shake! Having a lovely "vacation". I have to give thanks to my two blogging buddies...The Queen herself, Heather and to the Oblivious one, Sara for a spectacular baby shower! There was a great turn-out for the festivities! Thanks to all who came!!Here's a picture from the Island.Can you guess which one I am? Here's a hint. I'm the fattest one. And pasty white. Hey, look at those giant arms! And oh, so hot!Although the festivities had to be moved indoors due to gale force winds (probably a tropical storm moving in, or something), everyone enjoyed themselves. . Mockeritas and Margaritas were served by scantily clad cabana boys. Wish you were here!Thanks for the great shower, ladies! What a great day to spend at Shake-Shake!Hugs and Kisses,Jennifer

I really only listen to music in the car and when I'm in the car, Peanut is with me. He's quite adamant about listening to either Elmo or Blue's Clues, so I rarely am in control of the radio.I'd also like to thank Swistle for this post that taught me how to use these nifty music buttons.So here are my songs....I did not include any explanations about the songs.

Getting All Meta-Bloggy on Your Ass

Ahh, the blogging brain never stops. If I'm not thinking about blogging topics, I'm thinking about blogging. I blame all of you, blogging friends, for your amazing posts that start my wheels spinning. Yesterday, I was yet again inspired to think about this blogosphere where we co-habitate. Kristen at Motherhood Uncensored wrote this post about commenters, regret and blogging about one's family. Really, for this post to make any sense at all, I'd highly encourage you to actually click on the link and read the comments. From my perspective, Kristen, according to yesterday's post, does not regret her posts. She does seem somewhat irritated by certain, judgemental comments about her choices.There were several comments yesterday that booed Kristen and her "airing of dirty laundry." One of the commenters yesterday was quite adamant about a change Kristen made to her blog, the removal of her picture. This commenter asked (in a confrontational way, in my opinion) on several different ...

The What If Factor
2007-04-10 14:52:00
Have you ever considered all the what ifs in life? I don't necessarily mean the regrets we all likely have. Instead, I mean those things that could be called fate, predestination, divine intervention. Do you remember the Gywneth Paltrow moving, Sliding Doors? I loved the premise of how chance occurrences shape the outcomes.What if the circumstances of how you met your spouse were altered? For me, what if my best high school friend, LL, had asked someone else to be a bridesmaid in her wedding? I most likely would have left her reception early and not had the liquid courage to go up to Tate and talk to him. He lived in Tennessee when we met, I lived in Missouri. The likelihood of us meeting any other time was highly unlikely. Of course, I could reach even further into my past and ask what if I'd never met LL? Maybe my Dad would have taken a job in say, Little Rock, Arkansas instead of Springfield, MO. No LL, no Tate.Whatever you call it, fate, divine intervention...I know that I'm ...

I Should Have Gotten an Epidural
2007-04-09 14:12:00
I don't think I can tell Tate that his birthday gift to me was a little, uh, torturous. I'm quite sure there's a bruise in the shape of a thumbprint at the base of my skull as a result of the massacre massage I received on Saturday.It's been so hard not to complain about the massage. Complainer is my middle name (Jennifer Complainer Playgroupie). Telling him that the massage therapist was quite possibly a masochist would certainly make him feel that his birthday gift to me was a waste.It wasn't a COMPLETE waste. My toes look fabulous from my pedicure. That's something, at least.So it all started innocently enough, right. She was a small, friendly-seeming woman. I was greeted with a smile and a lovely pat on the back. Then, I was led to the torture chamber massage room. I didn't see the vise grips. I had no idea they were coming. She must have had some way of removing her human hands and replacing them with these steel-embedded torture devices.How does one little woman have th...

Forgive Me Father For I'm Going to Sin

Dear Jesus,On today, your most holy of all days, I'm so sorry for what I'm going to do. See, HBO has scheduled the last NINE episodes of The Sopranos to begin this evening. I know that it is not a very religimical show to be obsessed with watch. My most pure of hearts knows that it is a poor choice of programs to watch on Easter.It seems wrong to be excited to find out what has been happening with a set of characters whose job it is to intimidate, murder, watch strippers, screw, and lie. The characters are supposed to be Catholic, but I doubt that they take Easter off from their crooked and evil ways. I should probably record the show and watch any day but Easter, but I DON'T THINK I CAN WAIT. It's wrong and unholy, but I heart The Sopranos.It's the final season, Jesus. Please forgive me for my inability to sacrifice. I mean absolutely no disrespect to your Big Day.I promise to pray right after the show ends. And I won't even cuss this whole upcoming week. Well, I'll try not ...

Step Away From the Hedge Trimmer

I promised everyone earlier in the week to share with you my lackluster landscaping abilities. Remember that I told you that I'm a worse landscaper than I am a housekeeper.Landscaping, like most home improvement projects, makes me want to curl in a ball and rock, silently back and forth, until it all goes away. Flowers, trees, pruning, mowing, planting, and watering are just a few of the outdoor duties that I don't dig. Luckily, Tate enjoys outdoor projects. Unfortunately neither of us actually knows what we're doing.We really want to improve. It's just that there is so much to know. I occasionally read the Gardening section in Southern Living, but usually end up with a pounding headache due to it's super-advanced material. There is a proper way to prune depending on the type of plant. Different plants require different fertilizers. You have to fertilize these different plants during specific seasons. Some plants require shade, some full sun, and others partial shade or partia...

Fright Night

The night before last, I had a bit of a scare. Not the boogey man or a nightmare, just labor pains, which is WAY more frightening than anything else I can think of. At least when you're only 33 weeks pregnant.At 1 AM, I awoke feeling VERY crampy in my abdomen and lower back. It was a dull ache that didn't go away, but didn't get worse either. It definitely wasn't painful, nor was it comfortable. I got up, walked around, layed down in different positions, sat up...trying to make the cramping go away. At some point I fell asleep during my attempts to MAKE IT STOP. However, I was awakened several more times in the night due to this crampy feeling and the feeling of pressure.I considered waking Tate and going to the emergency room, especially since I was quite sure my cervix was close to eruption. However, the thought of having to wake Peanut, go sit in a very unsterile ER, wrestle a tired and confused toddler, and wait for 30 hours just to be told it's Braxton-hicks contra...

We Can All Blame His Testicles

I've told Tate many times that he should be a blogger, as I think he's rather funny. He usually gives me a look that says something like, "And what? Be a giant dork like you." I let it roll off my back. I don't hold a grudge. Whatever, Tate, I'm cool.So lately, I've been whining incessantly a tiny bit about being pregnant. Tate has tried to be sympathetic, but I think I'm wearing on his last nerve. I complain about not sleeping. I complain about the alien limb that's been jabbing my lung. His new response to my complaints is, "I blame my testicles." Thank you for acknowledging your involvement my discomfort.It has now become a running joke for all mishaps and complaints in the house. When Peanut is acting like a wacky 17 month old, I say, "I blame your testicles." Actually, his wacky behavior certainly could not be a result of the DNA that I provided, that's all Tate's contribution.If we forget to start the dishwasher before bed, it's Tate's testicles fault. ...

I've been struggling with this post for awhile. I write something, I erase. I get to where I think it's complete, worthy of the Publish button. Then I have second thoughts and start revising. Writing this post has been painful and healing, forcing me to really see the person I wish to be.My New Year's resolution was to give up grudges against people whom I feel have wronged me. Admitting that this is a big enough problem for me that I needed to make a resolution about it, is not something that makes me proud. This is a major flaw in my character and I really am trying to overcome it.Generally, I'm a really nice person. In new social situations, I think people see me as someone who is quiet and shy. It takes me time to warm up, relax, and feel comfortable around new people. When I do make friends with someone, I expect a lot from them. If I need help, companionship, or loyalty, I want them to provide.I can't always say that I give as much as I expect. It shames me to actually ty...

Competing for the Role of June Cleaver
2007-04-02 14:51:00
Or maybe not.I've become a terrible housekeeper. I'm not sure if it's the being 33 weeks pregnant, although I'd expect better nesting out of myself. Or if it is the fact when I do clean, it looks like hell within 20 minutes. Or the fact that I have a 17 month old. And two, slobbering, shedding basset hounds. And a slobbering, shedding husband.Just so I don't gross anyone out, I will say that I have a very clean kitchen. Food prep areas should be clean and free of nasty germs (remember that I have food safety issues). Of course there's alot of clutter in neatly stacked piles on my kitchen counters. No matter how many times I nag kindly remind Tate to keep his shit stuff in one spot, it seems to spread like a disease over the entire counter top. To be fair, the junk mail, book club remittance slips, bills, doctor's appointment reminder cards, birthday party invitations, and coupons also multiply. Rapidly. Like a bunch of horny rabbits.

Eternal Damnation
2007-04-01 22:47:00
We went to church this morning, seeing as it's the start of Holy Week. Since Peanut has become mobile, we've let our churchgoing slide. The thought of chasing him under the pews, listening to his screaming protests, or watching Mass from the cry room has not appealed to Tate or me. However, we were hoping that attending church today could help curb our eventual spiral into eternal damnation.Sadly, the whole going to church business didn't go anymore smoothly than we'd expected. As Tate spent much of the time either in the cry room or trying to keep Peanut from swan diving from the pew, I had time to daydream listen to today's message.As I looked around, I noticed MANY, MANY good Catholic families with MANY, MANY children. The family two pews ahead of us had seven children all looking to be under the age of around nine. It looked to me like they had at least two, possibly three sets of twins. The sheer number of twins was not the most amazing part of this family, though....

The Stress Was Getting To Me

Have you noticed anything different about my blog? Look over to your right...see it now? The blogroll (or should I say the lack of traditional blogroll...) Okay, so now that we're on the same page, let me explain.My blogroll was stressing me out. I had so many people to add and I just hadn't added them yet. My Google Reader has become my blogroll and I'm continually adding to it. Also, the order of my blogroll was making me worry that I was playing favorites. It's hard to say Heather from Queen of Shake-Shake is more worthy of "top billing" than say Brandy from It's Like I'm Magic. I tried to put less "famous" bloggers toward the top of the blogroll, but then I couldn't get them in an order that seemed fair. I thought about changing the order every few days or just doing an alphabetical list, but this just wasn't the answer.So....I decided that although this worry was pretty senseless, I needed to change.

Please accept the following crap as evidence.I've made it no secret that I enjoy the children's program Blue's Clues. My favorite, and I believe most people's favorite host is Steve. It was a sad, sad day when Steve went off to college and was replaced by creepy Joe. Peanut is happy to watch Blue's Clues, as well, although he is oblivious to whether the host of the show is Steve or creepy Joe.Have any of you watched the newer spin-off of Blue's Clues, Blue's Room? Well, to put it mildly, this show is the biggest piece of shit show ever produced. It's horrible. It's mind numbing. It's the worst show on TV, next to CSI: Miami with that vomit-inducing David Caruso.The producers, writers, and directors of this show should be ashamed of themselves and possibly even jailed on charges of criminal negligence. The character of Blue, who can now talk thanks to this horrendous show, is so ...

Some great questions have been posed regarding mommyblogging by a favorite of mine, Her Bad Mother. In fact, it seems that the topic of mommyblogging and the analyzation of our chosen "hobby" or "profession" has been a recurring theme in many of the blogs I've read recently. Although, I'm a lazy bum who should go find all the posts and put their links here, I'm going to defer to Sara at Suburban Oblivion who has already done an excellent job of tackling the subject and including links. It also must be said that I have Sara to thank for my blogging addiction, as hers was the first blog I ever read.Here are the answers to most of the questions posed by Her Bad Mother. I apologize that my answers lack the eloquence I wish to convey. Please be assured that I've actually been working on this for several weeks and my pregnancy brain has been stretched to it's limit.1.

It's a Tag Yourself Meme

I asked Janet "aka" Wonder Mom at Dancing Through to "tag" me for this 5 question meme. She came up with some great interview questions for me to answer. The game continues when you!!! the reader ask to be interviewed.Here are my questions and answers.1. What is the worst playdate you have ever been on? What happened?Technically, I haven't ever been to a really terrible playdate. My playgroupie pals are generally a fun, easy going gang, so luckily nothing horrible has happened. However, we had a very bad library storytime experience once (I'm counting this as a playdate). Peanut was in a funk, and I mean, he was the DEVIL INCARNATE. He cried and hit and generally acted awful. To make things even worse, another Mother said her daughter would never act like that in public. She made me feel so embarrassed, but I felt more anger and resentment towards her.2. What is the worst thing you could possibly do in a playgroup?I have to laugh at this question...in my playgroup we've had our f...
